TUESDAY NOVEMBER 26 1889.
AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.
On the 21st of January next the fifth
annual convention of the State Asso-
ciation of Architects will assemble in
this city. By reason of the resigna-
tion of Mr. W. C. Dodson Mr. James
Wahrenberger a leading architect of
•our city becomes the President and
will issue his circular to the members
throughout the State calling them to-
gether in this city on the date men-
tioned.
When we come to consider the im-
portance attached to the building in-
terests now developing into cosmo-
politan proportions throughout our
State the value of this association be-
comes apparent. In all trades and
professions there are there are quacks
and frauds and the profession of the
architect is no exception; there are
numerous instances of architects who
have picked up a smattering of the
business either by association with
professionals or in the course of prac-
tical business as contractors or build-
ers but who are entirely devoid of
technical education in the profession.
The amateur architect like the ama-
teur in all trades is ready to under-
take any kind of a construction from
a hen coop to a state capital and to
compete with men who have devoted
a life time to the study of the noblest
science that men have ever devoted
their intellect to.
To protect themselves as well as
the public this a ssociation will con-
tinue their endeavors to secure legis-
lation from the state compelling per-
sons practicing the profession to pass
a proper examination and to secure a
certificate of efficiency before they can
hold themselves out as architects to
the public.
Throughout our country the de-
mand for elegant structures both for
public and private use brings into
play the genius of the best men of the
profession and when we come to add
the intricacies connected with modern
building the services of the architect
not only to plan but to supervise
their erection become indispensible
and no sensible man now-a-days ven-
tures to trust the plans of building to
the mercy of the builder without the
mediation of an experienced archi-
tect. How important then that the
profession throughout the state should
be united for their own good as well
as for the good of the public.
San Antonio too old to talk irrev-
erently about is really just beginning
to seriously need the services of the
most experienced architects—when
the State association meets here we
can assure them that we can furnish
I
object lessons in all stages of archi-
tectural evolution. There are still
standing a few old flat-roofed Moorish
buildings with their wide “sawans”—
the old Missions over whose construc-
tion more than one Spanish architect
of fame had supervision; the original
“jacal” but a remove from the raw-
hide tent of the Indian; and whole
blocks built after the Mexican and
Union wars innocent of design other
than that of the stonemason whose
sole idea was to put up four solid
walls with plain openings; and lastly
speaking technically a sort of renais-
anceofall conceivable styles of the
ancients and moderns. We promise
these gentlemen a least —from the de-
cidedly modern City Hall we can trot
them over to the new government
building and show them a thorough-
bred “Romanesque” and more and
besides the good they will do in get-
ting together and swapping experi-
ences will promise to load them down
with ideas to take back to the unin-
teresting localities most of them are
compelled to live in. Our city will
welcome them as a worthy and most
important public body.
THE CLEVELAND-HILL FIGHT.
That Ex-president Cleveland is
again a candidate for the nomina-
tion of the democratic party is a
foregone conclusion: in fact he is
destined to be the only great dem-
ocrat this generation will ever see
and the defeated democracy will con-
tinued to regard him as their Moses
long after his running qualities have
been entirely exhausted. But while
Mr. Cleveland and his advisers as-
sume to have a perpetual mortgage
upon the presidency there is another
claimant to the next nomination who
is not to be brushed aside with a
simple wave of the hand David Ben-
nett Hill now governor of New York.
Mr. Hill it is claimed is the only
democrat who can carry New York
against the republican party for
president and as the contest will
most likely center about this state
Mr. Hill’s claim most certainly has
weight and Mr. Hill is no idler in
the race he is not content like
Cleveland to trust his chances to
letting offfreetrade platitudes at con-
venient times but he is building up
his popularity throughout the coun-
try with his party; his trip to Atlan-
ta was well planned and well execut-
ed; he came to the rescue of the
Virginia democracy when they most
heeded help and he has certainly
won a place along side of his heavy
competitor for democratic favor. The
democracy want to win and they do
no care with whom they win and
David Bennet Hill becomes a danger-
ous rival of the phlegmatic ex-presi-
dent. The fight is on and there will
be no let up until it is finished and
one or the o ther is knocked out. No
bottle-holder or referee will be al-
lowed to take the fight off the
hands of the party; it is
Clevelan or Hill or bust
with the »cracy they have no
other candiu»v>.s and none other dare
intervene; and it matters not which
succeeds in capturing the nomination
at the hands of the free-trade democ-
racy defeat is certain. The party is
being driven into making an extreme
declaration on the tariff issue. Mr.
Cleveland sees his opportunity and
congratulates his party upon the vic-
tories in Ohio lowa and Virginia as
demonstrating the will of the people
in favor of free trade and he places
himself at the head of this powerful
faction of the party evidently deter-
mined to lead them to a declaration
of the principle pure and sim-
ple and to profit by his lead-
ership. Hill holds out to his
party pratical results and the chance
for success by his hold on New York
he is not a tree trade Moses like
Cleveland but a champion of practi-
cal politics. Cleveland can win the
nomination but Hill will prove that
he is the biggest man in New York
and Mr. Cleveland will meet a signal
defeat as certain as he becomes a can-
didate for president again.
W. H. Ellis one of the promoters
of the Mexican emigration scheme
contemplates issuing a paper to be de-
voted to his enterprise. Mr. Ellis has
found his enterprise antagonised by
agents who are interested in moving
the colored people from the Atlantic
states to the Mississippi delta and is
having some interesting correspond-
ence in relation thereto.
