TUESDAY MARCH 3 1891.
The cremation of Emma Abbott’s
body is halting between her will and
her mothers wont.
GiVEusareet on tamales and let
us take hold of some improvements
as Americans should.
Waco and Kan Antonie are appar*
ently in the soup so far as that ‘Llano
extension is concerned.
The Terrell bill will knock out
Texas worse than a policeman’s billy
•ver knocked out a tough.
John McDonald has been hood
winking the Canadians for years.
They are getting the blinders off.
The artificial egg business will not
do away with chicken disputes but
it will knock the incubators cold.
Dobs Alexander W. Terrell own
Texas or what amounts to the same
thing does he own the Texas legisla-
ture?
San Antonio has as much use for
a paid fire department as a plantation
nigger has for a pair of patent leather
pumps.
“Fort Worth nas mere may than
faith” says the Gazette; San Antonio
has more faith than works. Money is
no object.
Some of the bills had better be
truthfully labeled: “Acts to keep
capital out of Texas.” This is their
inevitable end.
New York had better clear the rub-
bish away from the site of the Grant
monument before they look for one
for a Sherman statue.
When France raised her howl
against the Empress Fredericks she
put a chip on her own shouldor and
dared Germany to it off.
The buds are bursting all over
town; let the old mossbacks crack
their winter shells and come out for a
new growth. The city will be all the
better for it’
The new charter of Bau Antonio
and the Terrell bill are the twin in-
iquities before the present legislature
Oue hits Ban Antonio the other San
Antonio and the state.
Austin forgets that the war is over?
The old feeling and spirit and ideas
of the anti-bellum days is rampant
there. The no-rail way-age has come
again and Terrell is its prophet.
Terrell’s substitute railway com
mission bill is most vigorously
attacked in the Sunday Galveston
News. But the terrapin skulls of this
legislature do not always see the end
of the thing from the beginning nor
recognize the force of argument. The
passage of that bill would be even a
worse calamity than the assembling
of leglslatuie.
Hill Is receiving no end of criticism
for his grave error in refusing to re-
cognize the requisition of Gov. Bulky
ley of Connecticut for a criminal. Such
an act will hurtJHill In 1892.
San Antonio will pay five times as
much for her paid fire department as
for the volunteer department and will
not have any'better service. She will
be mighty lucky if she has as good.
lowa has a railway commission
and lowa has the railways of that
state by the throat and lowa built
one mile of railway last year. Is
there any instruction of wisdom for
Texas voters in this fact.
If a few heavy weights of the leg-
islature would sit down on the Ter-
rell bill and crush the life out of it
It would be a godsend. If the bill
was in Terrell’s vest pocket at the
time the crushing was done the state
would not be the loser.
The Bolon of the News has discover-
ed that there is a plow in the well
appointed study of the president of
the agricultural and mechanical
college for that reliable Journal says
that “Gov. Ross like Cincinatus has
gone back to his plow.”
Hill is preparing himself for the
race in 1892 and expects to capture
the Texas crowd. He has transmitted
to the New York legislature in a
special message the action of the
Texas senate in relation to the tenure
of federal office holding.
The cry goes up for a conservative
policy in the legislation for a railway
commission. It is an unnatural thing.
The key note of the whole cam-
paign of 1890 in this state was hostil-
ity to railways and this legislature
was elected to give emphasis to that
hostility.
That great bore at the river St.
Claire will be perforated on time
and it is now announced that the
dinner tables for a thousand guests
will be set in the middle of the tun-
nel June 15 1801. Itwlll be a long
kick for an Infuriated guest to kick a
slack waiter out of the dining room.
That commission bill ot Terrell’s
will be the death of every railway in
Texas If it is passed and its inten-
tions carried out. The bill of the
committee is a very fair one and if
the commission under it is composed
of practical men men acquainted
with the carrying trade there will be
no great hardship arising from it.
Terrell’s bill is a demagogue’s meas-
ure to corral granger patronage.
The Boston capitalists who came to
Corpus to look over the situation be-
fore going into Pan-American railway
construction have satisfied themselves
that the biggest enterprise on this
continent lies right there and they
have signed the documents that places
$10000000 capital at the disposal of
the officers of the Pan-American Con-
struction company. This Is a bonan-
za for Corpus Christi as all the move-
ment of material begins at the termi-
nus there.
Scribner's Magazine for March
contains two striking articles of ex-
ploration and adventure—Mr. Mount-
eney Jephson’s account of one of the
most exciting periods of the Emin
Pasha Relief Expedition and Mr. M.
B Kerr’s description ot the latest at-
tempt to reach the summit of Mount
Bt Elias in Alaska. The former is il-
lustrated with sketches by Frederic
Villiers made under Mr. Jephson’s
personal direction and the latter
from photographs made by the Expe-
dition.
The New Mississippi constitution
framed solely for the purpose of
knocking all republicans out of time
is a daisy. Jackson Clarion Ledger
says of it:
Nobody understands it. The plain
people do not comprehend it; the
lawyers cannot interpret it; the attor-
ney general does not know how to
construe It; the government does not
understand It and the supreme court
judges cannot fatham its mysteries ’
The Judges can make their own
law under such a constitution and
perhaps that will be just as well for
the state.
The arrangements are definitely
made with the capitalists who are to
carry forward the work of Pan Amer-
ican railway construction to the Isth-
mus of Panama. The organization is
complete and the $10000000 bonds of
the concern are locked up in the safe
of the treasurer. They will not be put
onTthe market Just now as the stock-
holders are abundantly’able to fur-
nish all the money from their own
funds to carry .out the construction.
Track laying will begin at Corpus
Christi thia month and the King
ranch will be reached April 15th do
accidents occurring.
