TUESDAY FEBRUARY 23. 1897
The New York Mail and Express has
all the facts and figures relating to
Greater New York st its finger ends.
It says the area of the new city will
exactly equal the area of Philadel-
phia Boston Baltimore Buffalo St.
Louis and Sau Francisco. That its
population will be the same as that of
Boston Baltimore. San Francisco St.
I*ouis. Cincinnati Cleveland Colum-
bus. Duluth Poughkeepsie and Spring-
field. Mass. It will have more popu-
lation than Rome. Brussels. Naples
Madrid. Milan. Dresden and Breslau.
It will outrank in numbers Liverpool
Manchester Melbourne. Amsterdam
Lyons Edinburg Antwerp and Tunis
combined. It will lead the following
combination by a full 100000; St. Pe-
tersburg. Leipsic Cologne. Lisbon
Moscow and Venice. There is no
doubt that she will be big enough to
give those who would govern her prop-
erly all the intellectual and physcial
• xereise they need and at the same
time hustle their moral gait.
Tia peculiarity of the situation
around the Texas pie counter is that
all the original McKinley men are in
the rear and the ft-Bows who throng
the first circle around the counter are
the very fellows who had no use on
earth for McKinley until he was act-
ually nominated. It wemii that the
Allison and Reed men prefer their
claims to office under McKinley s ad-
minstratfon upon their hostility to
his nomination. Great Is Texas Re-
publicanism when It puts Its noseto the
ground and starts on a hot scent For
office.
The Dem-Pop papers of the country
are putting in their beat licks now
making fun of an administration that
luw not yet accepted power. They
must be terribly afraid there will be
no opportunity for their pleasantries
after the Republican machinery is
set up and at work.
The situation in the Mediterranean
has not developed. That the Powers
do not intend that Greece shall occu-
py and annex Crete is certain. The
warnings given to the Greek comman-
der and the opening of the guns of the
fleet on Greek insurrectionists indi-
cate that much. Whether the fleet
will quietly permit the Turks to pur-
sue their invasions of Greek soil is not
yet apparent. Both of the belliger-
ents may I*' metaphorically spanked
and tucked up and thus an end made
of the matter of the friction may in-
crease until the Powers are drawn in-
to war. Russia is not likely to tame
iy submit to see Great Britain and
Austria and Italy make demonstra-
tions in favor of the Turks ami at the
same time open fin* on the Greek in-
surgents. The situation is such that
no one knows when trouble may be
precipitated for then* is not that har-
mony among the Powers that is nec-
essary to enable them to act without
internal friction.
Mark Hanna marks one. Bushnell
and Foraker have imitated Crockett’s
coon and come down. Gov. Bushnell
announces that he will api>oint Hanna
to fill the vacancy created by Sher-
man’s appointment as secretary of
state. The-big tigltt will come in the
Legislature when the lines are drawn
for the election <>f a senator from Ohio
for the full term of six years.
'l'he man who absents himseft from
home for twenty-live years during
which time an innocent man served
in the penitentiary for his supposed
murder should be shot on his return.
Against such injustice and meanness
there is no law. but such men are too
mean to cumber the earth.
The state legislature is again at
work. They have had their five days
outing at Galveston and judging from
their expression they had more real
pleasure in twenty-four hours in San
Antonio than in their five days in Gal-
veston. That is the difference be
tween the twain.
The securing of those sutacriptions
for the big hotel on this side of town
is the next in order. That hotel will
not only Is* a good thing to have for
the additional accommodation of the
public but it will be a splendid addi-
tion to that part of the city. It will
fill a long felt want on that old Mave-
rick quarter and in a measure carry
out the ideas of years ago.
Texas Legislature should put the
university in condition to do its work
and do it in the most efficient manner
possible as fast as practicable. There
will lx* nothing gained by withholding
from that institution anything that
can be reasonably devoted to its
equipment.
Galveston seems to have been in a
bad mood when she received her late
visitors. That city means well but
it has not the hospitable soul in her
that is so necessary to making stran-
gers feel that the town properly be-
longs to them. San Antonio has this
happy faculty hence the people who
come into her warm atmosphere after
the chilliness of Galveston are loud in
their appreciation of our splendid
courtesies and hospitalities but Gal-
veston cannot help that.
The pie pleaders in Texas art* prepar-
ing for a regular tight upon the lines
of supply and demand. That is they
want all the supplies that they can
get from the public crib and will de-
mand everything in sight.. The ques-
tion lx*fore the house now is. who will
lx* chief carver.
Galveston is wise when it comes to
shutting her mouth over that which
does not. make for her peace. If this
is not so ask the pilots down there how
about the passage of the Texas over
the bar? Was there anything said
about this in the report of Captain
Glass. It is not necessary tor the en-
gineers of the government down there
to give themselves away in this thing.
Consul General Ixx* can get no In-
structions from Washington as to his
course In the ease of the American
citizen. Dr. Ruiz cruelly beaten to
death in his cell in Havana. Has the
government at Washington no farther
interest in the life of the citizen
abroad?
Let the battle cry of the next admin
istration be “open the gates for Ha
wali and Cuba.”
There is nothing so marked in Spain
today as the discontent of the people.
It is general.
Hawaii wants annexation to the
United States as a condition precedent
to her greater growth.
It is stated on good authority that
Hanna's real objection to accepting it
cabinet seat was his disinclination to
surrender the chairmanship of the Na-
tional Republican party. He does not
think that his duties as a senator will
compel this but as an official head of
a government department he felt that
he could not continue to direct the af-
faoirs of a political party and he is
anxious to put the Republican hosts
in trim to fight the battle of their
lives in 1900. It is to be hoped that he
will be backed in this by the party all
over the country.
Yale college comes in for the bulk
of the property of the deceased tMiik-
er William Lampson Leroy N. Y.
Some $30000 in minor bequests are
left under the will and the residue goes
to Yale. The interests of the estate con-
tinuing in the hands of trust<*es and
the income going to Yale. The terms
of the will are not fully known nor
the amount of the property thus
devise*]. Cannot some of our rich
Texans hear the voice of the state uni-
versity calling "Go thou and do like-
wise!” There is room for several
such answers and they would lx* ac-
ceptable.
Gen. Roioff an ofiicer of the Cuban
Junta on furlough in the United
States for recruiting purposes
is said to lx* on the steamer
Bermuda. Will she lx* libelled by
.Mr. Cleveland for this act of hostility
to Spain? If not. it will not be from
any luck of a disposition to do so on
his part.
William of Germany is restless un-
der that hook that John Bull put into
his nose.
Then* is no red cross business being
done in Armenia now. Greece may
need some attention.
No red cross goes in Cuba for the
work of tin* society knows no political
distinctions and Weyler could not
stand it to sts* the insurgents succor-
ed.
The geeral impression on the bours-
es and exchanges is that the Powers
will preserve the peace of Europe. If
not Russia will preserve the pieces.
Roots* velt is proving himself some-
thing of a martinet in his commission-
er’s office.
Yale will get approximately a mil-
lion by the request of Banker Lamp-
son. A good bequest.
Spain will never pay a dollar of the
claims of Americans for property de-
stroyed in Cuba she has not the cash
she has not the credit she has not the
disposition.
Washington is said to do a thriving
business in stealing senatorial soap
from t is* wash-rooms. Not soft soap.
The facts are all in favor of squelch-
ing the trusts for they condemn them
in their face.
Blessed is that American statesman
who does not frame laws with refer-
ence to outside wishes.
Canada has nothing in the world to
urge in favor of any consideration on
the part of the government of this
country. She has discriminated against
us in everything.
Cheek is the one commodity that
Canada has in abundance and Unde
Sam wants none of it.
Reciprocity with Mexico has sound
reason to back it. Reciprocity with
Canada baa none.
Mr. McKinley's private secretary is
getting pointers at Washington. He
wants first to completely master the
art of preventing the pestiferous
crowd of office seekers from coming
within speaking distance of the head
of the executive branch of the gov-
ernment. When that art is all his own
it will be in order for him to take up
other duties and perform them.
The Texas battleship has not lx-en
ordered into Cuban waters. If she
had been her very name would have
lx*en enough to open her ports nilly
willy and let off a broadside upon
some Spanish man-of-war. That name
does not fit into the groove of Grover's
non-intervention in Culm.
The trusts whom* affairs are lx*lng
investigated nt New Y'ork evidently
did not trust any of its agents for
none of them know anything when
they are questioned as to matters by
the committee.
It is said that Cbaupeey Depew la
ready to court St James If McKinley
orders the <*ourtln'.
Gladstone would give his historical
axe to see the Powers keep bands off
Greece.
Rend is standing guard over that de-
ficiency bill and he will keep out the
Irregular Items.
Penrose of Pensylvanla puts new
blood in the United States Senate
from the old Keystone.
(Juay Is a slick politician but he
kt*eps his promises and he has prom-
ised to reform politics in his state.
Exports of grain are looking up in
this country bnt only until the for-
eign fields Improve.
The cartoons that represent John
Bull gathering specimens in Africa
are at fault. John is not using ehb>
