SATURDAY. APRIL 28 1894~
g -■ ■
The northwest has drawn on the
resourses of the east and all foreign
countries for its settlers until the
work of settlement is overdone
and the large area under cultiva-
tion has so increased the grain out-
put as to glut the market and
knock the bottom out of prices.
There will be no additional acre-
age planted in wheat there for
some years and the stream of im-
migration is bound to seek other
channels. That a large slice of it
is coming to this southwest is in
the books and it will be in a very
great measure the best of that over
producing class that has seen its
best hopes disappointed in the
northwestern grain fields. These
people will come here to better
themselves by hard work and the
improved and more favorable
climatic conditions of this region.
They will add largely to the pro-
ductive forces of this state and be-1
come a source of wealth to it. They
are as different as day is from
night from the great body of those |
who come as paupers from the
overcrowded old world. It should
be the aim of the holders of large
tracts of unoccupied land in this
southwest to open their fields to
these thrifty tillers of the soil and
encourage only the best class to
come.
The people of San Antonio are!
anxious for the building of that
Gulf Shore road into this city. It
is not so much a matter of contro-|
versy with the masses as to where I
the road should enter as it is be-1
tween some whose property is in I
the near vicinity of that road and I
the officers of the road. It seems I
that the most violent opposition
does not come from the residents
along the line of the proposed en-
trance but from a few suburban
residents whose carriage road Into
the city will be crossed by the
track as now’ proposed. It is also
in evidence that the attempt to get
east of the city on any line is ex-
ceedingly difficult on account of
the steep grade that is met with all
along the eastward exit and this
line now in controversy is the most
feasible and practically the one
that will least incommode. This
view of the case induces to the be-
lief that the council should grant
the prayer of the railway company
and permit the immediate location
of that line. In a case of this kind
where the public good is involved
and the growth of the city at stake
it does seem that the benefit of the
doubt should be given to the pub-
lic and not to the private citizens.
Cleveland is not nervous over the
approach of the unindustrial army.
Perhaps not but then Cleveland is
a good Presbyterian and believes
that what is to be will be. These
men are fear proof. It was a belief
of this kind that kept Breckinridge
up to his work during those years
that he now says that he spent in
hell. If Coxey does not turn Wash-
ington into a place of torment it
will be no fault of his. He has the
will and no one doubts that he has
the willing instrument at hand.
When a school debate results in
the killing of a pair and the
wounding of several others and
which calls in the school marfa
with a poker to settle the belliger-
ents it is time that there was a re-
vision of the old ideas of the tri-
umph of mind over matter. Ohio
must be proud of the force of
opinion in her rural districts.
When schools and churches tear
hair what prospect for a peaceful
political convention?
The Democrats in Congress are
in a rushing mood. They will
rush taritT through on any com-
promise that will be agreed upon
among enough of the party to se-
cure a vote. Against this program
the Republican members protest
but whetor that protest will avail
is not certain at this stage of the
game.
Little publicity has been given
to the fact that Jerry Simpson lies
at death’s door and there is a
strong probability that he will
soon cross the threshold of the
grim warder. Jerry will miss him-
self more than any one in Con-
gress is likely to miss him. He
was not a Congressional success.
When the thousands of idle
miners take the trail for Washing-
ton there will be such a riot when
the trouble is precipitated as this
country seldom sees outside of the
mining districts and only there
when furious Frank and fiery Hun
meet in open war with picks for
guns and stones for bullets.
Italy is pouring her usual spring
contingent of tens of thousands of I
immigrants on these shores while I
the country is overrun with a half
a million of unemployed and the
cities and other districts of the in-
dustrial section are thronged with
idlers. Restriction of immigrants j
is needed.
It will be impossible to with
draw eighteen or twenty thousand
dollars from the sanitary expendit-
ures of this city without seriously
crippling the effectiveness of her
I sanitary work. The experiment is
too hazardous to be tried.
The Populists every where re-
cognize the brotherhood of the
Coxeyites beyond that they get
little aid comfort or sympathy
as they march through th©
country as the bummers march-
ed down to the sea.
There is no diminution in the
number of those who desire to
sacrifice themselves on the al-
tar of a gubernatorial candi-
dacy. There will be humming
in the convention hive when they
all swarm.
These Hoganites will find that
it is a dangerous thing to shoot
Uncle Sam’s boys in the dis-
charge of their duty. A decent
regard of law* is one of the lessons
they are likely to learn as a re-
sult.
There is a very unanimous opin-
ion among all classes that the!
Democrats have taken the amount
of rope necessary to hang them-
selves with and that the choking
act will materialize in November.
Nothing increases the valuation
of a city more rapidly than the
paving of her streets and keeping I
her sidewalks and thoroughfares
in good condition. As an invest-
men tit pays big returns to the city.
The enlistment of a man in
I Coxey’s army does not entitle him
I to plunder the railroads with im-
punity.
It is not in accordance with the
I eternal fitness that tariff reform
I should come in with industrial de-
I formity and destruction.
That $50000000 gold bonds did
not last the Democrats a very long
time. Those fellows can chew up
bonds in time of peace as fast as
England chewed them up in time
of war. Queer folks those Dems.
George Francis is in Washington
getting matters in Train for the
coming of the unindustrial host.
George has hired two halls but
that will not be a priming for the
oratorical wants of that crowd.
There is not one street leading to
any one depot in this city that is
fit to drive or ride over. Of this
fact there is nothing but a drive
over the best of them needed to
give it ocular demonstration.
Washington has no fund out of
which to feed the Coxeyites. She
had better lay in her supplies. If
those thousands are not fed on
their arrival they will raise Bheol\
in their hungry disaffection.
There is no reasonable doubt that
the tide of immigration is to
shortly turn southward. It is all
the more important then that this
tide should have in it only immi-
grants of the first water.
El Paso complains that her rows
fights and crimes are all that get
into the paper. No doubt her press
correspondents consider that the
most noticeable thing about her.
They are not to blame.
Avenue D is a succession of water
holes in wet weather a succession
of dust hoies in dry weather a suc-
cession of pitch holes in all weath-
ers and a perpetual menace to all
carriages all the time.
While Congress is trying'to give
effect to the laws for the exclusion
of the yellow hordes from China
Gresham and Grover are trying to
execute treaties that will* freely
admit them to land.
Colorado anti Oregon area little
off on financial questions bat their
representatives in the National
Senate stack up well when it
comes to a deliverance on the
Coxey foolishness.
Texas is today the most prosper-
ous of all the southern states and
the southern states are ahead of
the National procession in all that
makes for their increase and sub-
stantial progress.
Cleveland is the Democratic
president but he is also the repu-
diated of a large part of his party.
The condition of those streets
causes more fearful profanity than
the army in Flanders ever uttered.
The man who has an affection
for the handle of a hoe is always
welcome to this southwest country.
Without the privilege for parade
the glory of Coxey will depart in
Washington like a broken dream.
All considerations of private ad-
vantage and convenience must
yield ground to public necessity.
Cleveland has been the party of
the first part he is now the party
of the second part of his party.
There is no labor bestowed on
the ground that does not pay its
returns in good solid profits.
That club house on the Jockey
grounds is a great addition to the
comfort of the members.
I It was enough to wash the face
lof nature if it did not suffice to
I wash these dirty streets.
The Corpus Caller puts in a plea
for the Chinaman. A fellow feeling
makes us wondrous kind.
There are only six members of
Senate ready to turn Washington
over to the Coxeyites.
The good of the many should not
be lost in the shutlie on account of
the kick of the few.
The taritT Democrats in Congress
I are ready to drop the substance to
grasp the shadow.
