TUESDAY AUGUST 26 1893
If Uncle Sam could swap politi-
cians for statesmen it would be a
paying trade for the old man if he
had to give three politicians for
one statesman and not a big one at
that.
Baird Star would not adjust the
ratio between gold and silver be-
cause it would be an admission
that gold was the only standard of
value. Gold has a commercial
value and so has silver and an ad-
justment of the ratio of metal in
each coin upon the basis of the
commercial or intrinsic value of
the metals would not be a declara-
tion in favor of the one more than
the other.
Seguin Enterprise complains of
the money that has been drained
out of that city to pay expenses at
the World’s fair. There has not
been one dollar that has been thus
spent but will be to the profit of
Seguin i n the days that are to come.
Attendance at that fair will prove
a greater eye-opener than any-
thing that the average Seguinite
has struck on this mundane and
he will return better prepared to
whoop it up for Seguin and his
home paper than when he departed.
The New Orleans States sensibly
protests against the police methods
for forcing removal of houses of
ill repute from certain localities.
If the removal of such eye sores
are demanded then let the re-
moval be made in a humane man-
ner giving the unfortunates some
show and not making them the
victims of official blackpiail. Even
the outcasts have some rights
that should be respected.
When this country resumed
specie payments after the war
there were no end of prophesies as
to the dire results but there was
nothing in it but to resume and
the resumption came as easy as
falling off a log. It will be the
same with the readjustment of the
ratio. There is nothing to do but
readjust and the readjustment will
come as natural as death and
taxes.
France wants Siam in much the
same way as the wolf wanted the
little lamb and it does not matter
•what fool excuse is needed for the
.■gobbling act it will come oil on
time whenever France is ready.
There is no doubt that in a few
years all the petty nations will be
swallowed by the big ones with
the possible exception of these
western ones for which Uncle Sam
stands sponser and which he will
“either swallow himself nor per
mit others to perform the boa con-
strictor act upon.
The Democratic doctors are in a
hurry to prescribe for their patient
without diagnoscing the disease.
There is no doubt that the patient
is suffering from a gorged stomach
and the first business of the physi-
cian is to reduce his diet. This is
just what congress proposes to do
in repealing the silver purchase
act. Let this be done* and then it
will be in order to regulate his
food.
The grasshopper is not a success
as a safety vault for the deposit of
greenbacks as that Kansas farmer
discovered. Those who have had
their houses ransacked and them-
selves clubbed in order that their
\
funds withdrawn from the bank
might be discovered and stolen
are finding out that it is not wise
to turn bankers on their own ac-
count and after a while this whole
foolishness will end.
If the intrinsic value of the metal
in the coin is to be made the basis
of coinage then it is imperatively
necessary that the ratio be adjust-
ed but if the basis of monetary
issues is to be the credit of the
nation based on the wealth of the
country then the value of the coin
cuts no figure and this fool outlay
for the benefit of the silver mine
owners should be eut short off.
The Waco News does not protest
against being declared tbe mouth-
piece of the Moggies nor of being
Clark’s spokesman but it does pro-
test against being considered' both
of these at the same time. The
News mildly charges the Dallas
and Galveston Newses with assign-
ing it this difficult role.
When an anarchist sheet sus-
pends in New York because it can-
not raise $2.50 for a creditor it is
one of the most encouraging signs
of the times and shows that the
fool bomb business is nearing its
end if it has not already outlived
its usefulness.
Reed’s speech took the peeling off
the situation showing that distrust
of Democracy is at the bottom of
all the uneasiness and financial
disquiet. Peace and prosperity
will not come until a conclusion is
reached on the tariff question.
Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts
has had enough of Gresham as sec-
retary of state and resigns his port-
folio as his first assistant upon the
flimsy pretext of accepting the
chairmanship of the Massachusetts
state Democracy. Josiah is evi-
dently a Democrat and not a half-
breed mugwump.
The Llano Times congratulates
the News on its improvement since
the devil took charge of its editori-
al columns. The News is not the
only sheet that might be similarly
improved.
It is not any fear of a discrimi-
nation against silver that this
country has to fear but an undue
leaning in favor of free silver free
trade and free immigration.
America’s trine evils.
David B. Hill demonstrated that
he was not above the littleness of a
purblind mind in his great speech
on the silver question. It was a
pity to mar such a speech by show-
ing his splenetic soul.
There is too much stump speak-
ing in the national legislature not
intended to influence legislation
but to influence votes in the con-
gressional districts in favor of the
speakers.
The Democratic papers are
shouting over the glorious fight
that Boies will make in lowa but
they say nothing of the glorious
licking that he is going to get
when the fight comes off.
There are lively times ahead on
that vote for prohibition in Wil-
liamson county. No matter which
way it goes it is destined to end
in the removal of the county seat
from Georgetown to Taylor.
The exhibitors at the World’s
fair are nearly all of them ready
to remain in the White City some
months longer. There is no doubt
that the country would be benefit-
ted by holding it longdk
This state is threatened with
cooler weather and some rain in
the southwest sections. • It would
hurt nothing to see these threats
materialize. West Texas has had
all the rain that she needs.
Labor and anarchism are not
only not brothers but they are
aliens they are not even distantly
r Mated and the workingmen who
allow the anarchists to make tools
of them are not wise.
This is the time for the man of
clear grit and sandy bottom to
come to the’front. The man who
drops his colors and is afraid to
take up the running is not worth
even an Austin dam.
France is making a dive for the
Hebrides Isles and it is about time
that Uncle Sam took in Hawaii
out of the wet. Sam does not want
her to take that English umbrella
and John’s arm.
Waller Baker will not summon
the Hoggite half of the state com-
mittee to a meeting until the
spring time comes gentle StepheA.
What he will then do with it is not
stated.
Diaz will not send any ultimatum
to Coahuila so long as the federal
authorities are not interfered with.
He proposes to see that state has a
free ballot for its own state of-
ficers.
There is no sex in anarchy any
more than there is in mind. The
female anarchist should put up or
shut up just the same as her long
haired brother. This is inevitable
destiny.
Every day renders the certainty
more certain that there will be no
end of money to move cotton in
Texas with.
Mills is not en evidence on this
silver question in so far as any
utterances of his are at hand to
determine where he stands. It is
time he descended from his roost.
There is the profane damn and
the little nannie’s dam and the
coffer-dam and Yuba Dambut the
Austin dam is the worst of the en-
tire litter.
There will be no let up to the
agitation for deep water on the
gulf coast of Texas until there are
ports opened at the west as well as
at the east of the gulf.
Deep water interest will not sub-
side until x there are at least three
ports on the Texas coast admitting
vessels of at least twenty feet draft.
The destruction of property this
1011th by fire flood and wind
ould be something terrible to
ontemplate were not the destruc-
ion of life so much more appalling.
The parade for bread in Chicago
is cut short by the orders of the
mayor who does not think it pru-
dent to offer a premium for riot-
ing by such processions.
The directors of the World’s fair
are paying off the bonded indebt-
edness of that concern. It is quite
probable that they will keep on
paying till the whole amaunt is
paid as promised.
And now they say that Grover
has the late James G. Blaine’s dis-
ease. If he had more of the dead
statesman’s brains it would not
come amiss.
The favorite air at the Houston
opera house this winter will be
“Such a gittin’ up stairs I nebber
did see ebry time I take a step
sure to bark my knee.” That step-
ladder is a horse on Houston.
Memphis is mad because the di-
rectors of her public library send
to Boston for a librarian. This is
tough on the Tennessee bibliopoles
but those directors evidently are
posted on their duties.
The divorce is not yet pro-
nounced between Cleveland and
the Democratic party but Grover’s
political bride is not very amiably
inclined to her hubby’s coquetting
with the Republican damsel.
Grover has hopes of Massachu-
setts and he has a certainty in
Texas this accounts for the gen-
erous distribution of pie to the
old Bay State Democrats while
their Texas brethren go pieless.
You can bungle a legal killing
just as well with a rope as with a
streak of lightning. There is no
monopoly of the business and the
state can be as inhuman as its
victim if it wants to.
The country serves notice on the
Senate that it cannot chin this
republic into prosperty.
M rs. Lease is said to be a theo-
sophist. Mighty little theos and
less sophist about that woman.
Bland’s blandness did not save the
Bland bill.
The man who deals in San An-
onio dirt is laying up treasure for
he days to come.
San Antonio real estate will
never be offered at as low figures
as it is now. Buy and make money.
The leading dailies declare that
the panic is over but the money
does not come out of the sock.
Texas is pretty well thank you
and San Antonio is leading Texas
for pretty and prosperous.
The mills that are resuming op-
eration are resuming at lower
rates of wages.
This crusade of the Democratic
party in favor of free trade is a
crusade against American wages.
