Tammany endorses Bryan and is-
sues gold bonds to meet her indebt-
edness. Just like Bryan.
That tunnel project under the Hud-
son is revived. Reviving prosperity
revives all things.
Japan has said it and after October
Ist her money will be gold standard
money.
Great Britain has a hankering af-
ter a large naval fleet in the North
Atlantic.
That Nashville centennial runs
right along all the time regardless of
weather.
Bryan is going to study finance in
Mexico this fall. He is too old to learn
anything.
Holman’s seat in Congress will be
held down by another Democrat. No
change in Indiana.
All that the most vicious enemies of
the tariff have dared to say against It
is that It will Increase th? cost of liv-
ing. Prove it. They concede that it
will increase the means of living
above the increased cost of living.
The Tuppers of Canada sons of the
great high muck-a-muck Tupper of
the Dominion over on the other side
of the Niagara landed .it New York
witli their pockets bulging out with
silver and other wares brought over
from Europe. They were obliged to
pay duty on that and all their person-
nel effects over the $lOO amount pur-
chased on the Eurojieau side. Now as
they have had their goods entered at
the American custom house these
goods will have to pay duty on their
going into Canada. These young
Canadian bucks will find out after
awhile that there is a buzz saw hid-
den in the phraseology of that tariff
law.

The miners are making progress in
their strike and the West Virginia
railway mines are without workers.
Coal is getting scarce and in the Illi-
nois district urgent appeals are made
to the miners to keep out of the mines
and thus force the operators. The on-
ly question is whether or no the
miners can hold out long enough to
bring the operators to terms. Hunger
is a sharp goad to drive men to ex-
tremities and bread must be had.
There is no lack of sweetness in
these United States. Pending the
higher rate of duty under the new law
there were 2tH).OooOOO pounds of the
saccharine stuff brought into the coun-
try during the one month of July.
This would give every man woman
child baby foreigner and visitor in
the country an allowance of about
three pounds each. There will never
be a like amount brought into this
country in any other one month for
Uncle Sam is going to grow most of
his own sugar in the future and keep
the profits of it at home.
The Cramp ship builders are
plaining loudly of the delay in the
armoring of the ships of war that they
are ibuilding for the government.
The structural iron is not forthcoming
and much of the armor plate has prov-
ed inferior. It is time that Uncle Sam
owned a plant of its own and made his
own plates and structural steel. The
million and three quarters of money
that the Cramps ask as damages for
ielay would go quite a ways in es-
tablishing an armor plate plant. It is
coming that way Carnegie and Frick
to the contrary notwithstanding.
It will take more than the assertion
of one or two country papers to de-
monstrate that the candidacy of
Reagan for the Senate has knocked out
Culberson’s chances. It depends more
on what stand Hogg takes In this
fight than anything else who wins
out. All that Culberson has secured
hitherto he has secured through Hogg.
If Hogg stands from under it as an
open question whether Culberson can
land the United States senatorship
or not.
The reports that come from Cuba
indicate that the insurgents are tak-
ing a bolder grip on matters that they
are now ready to meet Weyler in
the field and dispute claims with him
on the open field. If the dispatches
throw no false light upon the situation
Weyler has met his match in meet-
ing the insurgent forces more than
his match in fact and has been whip-
ped. This will only serve to confirm
general impressions as to the out-
come.
The Democrats who talk about the
great luck of the Republican party
in coming into power just as the
great wave of prosperity struck the
country are unable to distinguish
cause from effect. Prosperity is the
effect of the election last fall and the
returning confidence of tne people in
the methods that would is* employed
to prevent the accumulation of a vast
national debt in times of peace.
Events justify that confidence. This
is why the evidences of prosperity
multiply and the people return to their
labors with courage.
Galveston has the promise that the
inland flotilla of torpedoes promised
for this winter up the Mississippi will
rendezvous in her parlor for a season.
It will draw like a new find in that
Klondike region. So much for having
a Republican congressman for Gal-
veston can thank Hon. R. B. Hawley
for tlie promise that the secretary of
the navy has made Galveston.
Texas has the same per capita school
Uncle Sam has 27.000 more miles of
railway than all Europe combined
and can turn out better rolling stock
than any other country oa the globe.
She naturally is built that way.
The nnan whose delight is in “fig-
gers” has been delving into the cen-
sus returns ami finds that in propor-
tion to tlie whole population there are
more people in the United States who
work than there were at any other
period since the regular census of the
country has been taken. This is an
agreeable surprise to those who have
been of the opinion that the country
was multiplying its idle population at
the expense of the laboring masses.
Ohio Populists of the fusion breed
put up a job on the antis and prepared
to carry the convention for the mix-
ture. but they were a little short of
tl.e number necessity the day before
the convention opened which the Mid-
dle-of-the-road-I’ops perceiving they
called the convention together and ran
it themselves. Harmony is laid on the
shelf there. John McLean will not
get the fusion vote with the soft mon-
ey Democrats that he figured on.
Corsicana is really blossoming out
an oil producer. More lands are-
being leased for oil boring and more
capital is coming into the enterprise.
Already there is a syndicate with a
cash capital of SIIMI.OUO at work and
if the oil is there in paying quantities
it will be pumped out. It will be a
great tiling for that little city and on-
ly confirm the general impression that
anything and everything can be found
in Texas.
With gold in Llano ami oil in C >rsi-
cana. with wind in Houston and wa-
ter in Galveston with AusJu damned
and everything wide opeu in San An-
tonio there is nothing the matter with
Texas. At least not much. Dallas
would like the Trinity opened to navi-
gation as far up as the Klondike and
Waco would like a glacier as an an-
tidote to her iiot water spouters but
these are little things and can wait
until the next State Legislatrue meets.
Kansas City lias quarantined against
Texas cattle for a season. Several
car loads of cattle from this state
turned up there with ticks on them.
Texas shippers should be more careful
for this carelessness hurts the cattle
trade of tlie state Immensely. Better
turn the stock over Ij those Fort
Worth dippers and let them soak out
the little pests.
There is no change in die situation
as regards water rate war be-
tween New and Galveston. It is
Inevitable that the railroads shouiu
come in if it continues. Already the
Union Pacific finds that the route by
the Denver & Rio Grande to Denver
and Colorado jioiuts is cutting into
its earnings and announces that it
will care for its own.
The Dauntless is held up at Jack-
sonville Florida with a United
States officer on board. The Spanish
consul at that port Is responsible for
that condition of affairs and is in a
state of extatic bliss over the same.
He will find that the road to hell has
a turn.
When Spain becomes a republic
there will lie no question of Cuban In-
dependance. and there are signs that
the revolution that is to overthrow her
monarchy will not be long delayed.
It is an open question and odds are
against the young king ever ascending
the throne.
apportionment this year as she had
last. Wait until the sheep and cat-
tle industries of this state are re-
stored to their old time volume un-
der tlie new tariff act now in force
and there will be an increase in that
per capita.
Tlie New Orleans States would rath
er have the old stagnation than trade
under the new order of things. The
States can not have it however and
it might as well as tumble easily.
New Jersey courts are fining the
swear folks so much a cuss word.
It may replenish tlie treasury but it
will not diminish the profanity. It is
a luxury even if It comes high.
The currency question will* no
doubt become the issue in the fall
campaign for the tariff is settled for
the next three years and eight months.
Wonder if Wilhelm had any hand
in that conspiracy between the French
and Russian ambassadors to prevent
the" visit of Faure to St. Petersburg.
The little game miscarried.
Mexico will let her dollar go down
for a4O cent value liefore she will
think of making any. change. She
thinks that she could do good busi-
ness at that figure.

Mexico is building all her hope on
the output of silver from other
sources being cut off while she coins
her otvn mountain products right
along as usual. Rather risky hope.
There is a strong feeling in Bexar

caper but there is no fear felt as to a
water famine such as plagues the
good people of Waller county.
Senator Stewart by a process of
reasoning all his own convicts (in
his own mind) Canovas of being his
own assassin. Stewart has a mind as
mysterious as the ways of Providence.
Terrill’s mule was not among the

St. Louis the city in which Presi-

Louisville Kentucky Commercial

That ought to settle it.
The future will deliver us out of the

The failure of the Dingley bill ade-
quately to protect American shipping
is giving to the foreign shipmasters
business aggregating nearly two mil-
lions a month that belongs to the Unit-
ed States. Wait until Congress reme-
dies this evil and see the difference.
Weyler has found that he can not
pen the insurgents within a barbed
wire fence. He may try it about Ha.
vana but It wil do no good. A Tex-
as cow boy can cut a wire fence.
If it is true that the continuance of
Canovas in office was all that kept
Weyler in his place it is in order to
look for the recall of the Havana
butcher most any time.
In Oklahoma the signs of the good

all.
Those Kentucky Republicans served

Senator Matt Quay can not read his
title clear to his re-election to the
United States Senate but he will take
out an injunction against the title
passing to any one else.
Tillman asserts that he is the only
farmer in the Senate. Tillman farms
it with his mouth and he will find that
there are others in the same agricul-
tural line. He is not alone.
There is nothing about the ses-
sions of the late British parliament so

some good advice. “Being a Knight
of the Grip” he says “I have for the
past three years made it a rule to keep
myself supplied with Chamberlain’s
Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and have found numerous occasions
to test its merits not only on myself
but on others as well. I can truly say
that I never in a single instance have
known It to fall. I consider it one of
the best remedies travelers can carry
and could relate many Instances where
I have used the remedy on sceptics
much to their surprise and relief. I
hope every traveling man in the U. S.
will carry a bottle of this remedy In
his grip.” For sale by all druggists.
