All signs point to a tremendous in-
dustrial development in the south dur-
ing 1895. Texas will receive the most
liberal share, south Texas a propor-
tionally greater and Galveston dis-
tinctively the greatest part.
The raifroad situation here is getting
to be extremely interesting and there
is no telling what a day may bring
forth. Some of Galveston’s best minds
are now being applied to several
propositions which are bona fide under-
takings and in the ripeness of delibera-
tion we may expect more than one op-
portunity to take a great stride for-
ward. _________
To-morrow will be the last day of
the chicken show. If you have not

The Houston Post says, concerning a
promising industry in this city:
A Galveston merchant and miller appears
to be somewhat disturbed by the action of
the state department in regard to enforcing
respect on the part of foreign governments
for our own.
He has bought him a little boat and is do-
ing a little business in the islands known as
the American Indies and he is very much
alarmed lest some unconsidered act of the
president and secretary of state should seri-
ously interfere with his business. He is quite
sure that Cuba and Porto Rico are especially
desirous of continuing friendly relations
•with this country and would be only too glad
to come to an amicable agreement upon cer-
tain questions at issue, in which, by the way,
they have about as much voice as the Galves-
ton shipper. It is interesting to note, fur-
thermore, that the Galveston merchant
and miller aforementioned is hugging
to his breast the delusive phantom of
the defunct reciprocity humbug. He is
going to have him another boat, he says, “as
soon as reciprocity treaties are enacted
again.” It may be cruel to shatter such
pleasant dreams, but it would probably be
just as well for the gentleman who has been
“handicapped by tariff difficulties” to dismiss
the hope of a re-enactment of the reciprocity
business, which was only intended as a sort
of relief from McKinleyism. The McKinley
prohibitory tariff is gone for good and the
reciprocity idea perished with it. It was
the reciprocity notion that gave rise to the
suggestion of retaliatory measures to which
the Galveston man so seriously objects, and
one is a part of the other. But he can keep
his boat running right along as usual with-
out any fear that the hasty action of the fed-
eral authorities will interfere with his busi-
ness. He’s all right.
The export business to which the
Post refers with an ignorant sneer is
the pioneer work in the most fruitful
undertaking, from a broad Texas stand-
point, that has been seriously attempt-
ed in the development of the trade of
the southwest, and it is surprising that
a newspaper of the Post’s information
and good offices for material progress
should have permitted some young
tyi’o to make it so ridiculous.
The export trade which is made the
subject of this worse than silly jest was
inaugurated many months ago and has
already been the means of marketing
thousands of barrels of flour made from
Texas wheat. Return cargoes have
been made up of bananas and other
tropical fruits for consumption in Texas
at cheaper' prices than can be secured
through New Orleans with added over-
land freights. At the time Spain
retaliated for the loss of free Cuban
sugars by putting on prohibitory
flour tariffs, efforts were being
made to load out ships with
groceries, packing house products,
dry goods, boots and shoes from Texas
wholesale houses, as well as with flour,
in” competition with New York and
Boston. Encouraging efforts were
made also to export Texas hay and
grain. Those profiting and to profit
from this trade are Texas farmers,
manufacturers and merchants. Those
suffering or to suffer from this trade
are New York and Boston merchants
and manufacturers.
The theory of free trade by recip-
rocity has nothing to do with the ques-
tion, though on that subject the Post
writer has much to learn, but the fact
of Spanish retaliation against Amer-
ican tariffs is so serious a matter that,
contrary to the Post’s ignorant as-
sumption, the president has taken
steps toward readjustment and has
forcibly protested against Spain’s
policy. Whether renewed activities
shall come through reciprocity
or other reciprocal arrangements,
without which no general traf-
fic is possible, remains to be
seen, but the Post’s young man should
reflect, if such a mental process is pos-
sible, that when Uncle Sam resolved
to spend $6,000,000 here for a deep-
water port he was not making a gift to
Galveston, but securing an outlet for
the surplus products of all the west,
including Houston and Harris county,
and will leave nothing undone to
develop the great traffic of which the
Galveston man’s “little boat” is but
the forerunner and prophet.

sang the little tots of Miss .Warner’s
kindergarten this morning as they cir-
cled around a large Christmas tree lo-
cated in the schoolroom at the Eaton

ranged from 4 to 9 years, were having
a jolly good time when a Tribune man
made his appearance on the scene.
Miss Warner, assisted by Miss Spring
and a bevy of pretty young ladies,
amused the little ones, and each child
present received a Christmas gift from
old Santa Claus.

why he did not earn an honest living,

who entered a plea of not guilty were
assessed $10.

“Trilby.”
There has been placed on exhibition
on Tremont street, between Mechanic
and Strand, a life-sized oil painting by
Mrs. Henry A. Chandler of this city.
She painted it without the use of a
model or any design. It is an ideal
picture conceived from the character
of Trilby, in Du Maurier’s sensational
story of a young, healthy Irish girl who
fessional model.
Mrs. Chandler has painted for years
in oil and studied years ago at the
school. of design in Cincinnati, her
former home. Since exhibiting
“Trilby” she has had two chances to
lease it to people in the show business
who would exhibit it throughout the
country.
The art loving people of Galveston
who have seenthis picture have unani-
mously praised it and the wonder
seemed to be that it could be painted
so perfect and lifelike without the use
of a model.

Cabinet Resignations.
New York, N. Y., Dec. 21.—A special
to a morning paper from Bueno.s Ayres
says: Minister of the Interior and
Foreign Affairs Costa has resigned his
portfolio. At the earnest entreaty of
the president, however, he will con-
tinue to perform, the duties of his office
for a short time at least.
There is every probability that
Minister of Finance Terry and Minis-
ter of Justice Zapata will also resign,
leaving only the acting minister of
war, Colonel Banza, in office.

congress , ex-Minister Manual Quin-
tana and General Campos will both re-
enter the cabinet, in which event se-
rious trouble may result, which may
force the president to resign.

Brenham, Tex., Dec. 21.—As Miss
Louisa Schroeder, the 17-year-old
daughter of Charles Schroeder, was
on her way home late yesterday after-
noon she was stopped by an unknown
negro who made an indecent proposal
toher. She screamed and ran. The
negro pursued and struck her several
times across the neck and shoulders
with a quirt. Her screams frightened
the negro and he mounted a horse and
escaped. The officers are working on
the case.

A TINY MOON'S INHABITANTS.
Ab Viewed in Comparison with the Beings
of This World.
In an installment of this department,
says a writer in the St. Louis Republic,
during the first Jialf of the past year I
gave some curious figures on the prob-
able height and weight of the inhab-
itants of the larger planets, basing the
calculations on ratios deduced from
comparison with the representative
specimens of the human family on this
earth. Taking some of the smaller
planetsand satellites and using simi-
lar ratios, we get an equally interest-
ing set of figures.
Let us take the inner moon of Mars
as an illustration of this point. It is
named Phobos, and is a tiny satellite
only eight miles in diameter. Let us
suppose that everything on our earth
(which is nearly 1,000 times larger than
the little Phobian planet) is to be
found on the surface of this miniature -
moon, reduced proportionately. We
find, to begin with, that a terrestrial
man of 6 feet, if transferred to Phobos,
would be .072 of an inch in height. A
good microscope would be necessary to
determine the true shape and form of
this speck of humanity, and it would
be wholly invisible to. the unaided eye
at a distance of three feet. A ship of
the dimensions of the Great Eastern
would be but 7J< inches in length if re-
duced to the Phobian standard, and a
duck pond would be a “fathomless
ocean” to the liliputian inhabitants of
this Marsian satellite. A whale would
be as small as a cheese mite, and a real
sea serpent, which would be a terror to
the Phobian mariner, would be like a
section of a hair worm five-eighths of an
inch in length. The largest rivers can-
not be more than a few feet in breadth
and not more than two inches in depth.
A railway train like the “Chicago
flyer” could be carried in an earthly
card case, and a city the size of New
York could be.covered with a blanket!
The'Tearless battle was fought be-
tween the Spartans on one side and the
Aj'cadians and Arjives on the other B.
C. 367. Not a Spartan fell in the en-
Scliool Holidays.
This afternoon the public schools
closed for the Christmas holidays
and will reopen January 2. -Christ-

their . teachers, some of which were
very handsome and costly. ’
