WEDNESDAY AUGUST 22 1894.
SOUTH ALAMO STREET.
The fiat has gone forth from the
City Council at last that Alamo
street must be repaired and thus
are the prayers of the Light an-
swered. The street commissioner
who will have charge of this work
is affectionately reminded of a few
things that have been branded in-
to the inner consciousness of the
men women and children who
throng that thoroughfare and as
- the branding has continued these
six or eight years the iron has
gone in deep. Thusly—Alamo is a
narrow street and there is not
room for vehicles to pass each
other on either side of the street-
car track so long as the rails there-
of are in the center of the street
therefore should the city order
that the street-car line be laid a
little to one side of the street cen-
ter so that there will be room for
one carriage between the rails and
the curb on the narrow side and
for two carriages between the rails
and the curb on the wide sidq.
Moreover as the street is level hav-
ing an Im preemptible grade so that
the water always stands after rain
at the corners of the intersecting
streets it is indispensible that the
city engineer establish the points
along the street toward which the
surface water tends and in these
depressions arrange outlets for the
water into the river which for two
blocks southward from Commerce
street is only about 100 feet dis-
tant. Unless this is done there
will be no permanent improve-
ment of that street possible as it
will always alternate between a
of stink holes in wet
weather and a chain of dust-bins in
dry weather. These little matters at
tended to and the street properly
macadamized if the council pos-
sess any authority over the street
car company it should enjoin it
from permitting its rails to ob-
trude above the mean level of the
street more than four inches in
any one place. There are few light
carriages that can stand an abrupt
collision with a solid iron rail that
climbs heavenward out of the
street more than four inches hence
this limit. There are cities no
bigger than San Antonio
that foolishly require all
street car rails to be laid
flush with the street under pains
and penalties but this would be
asking too much of a company
that seems to have a quit-claim to
all our streets and as four inches
maximum would be such an im-
provement on present conditions
the four inches is mentioned as
a starter. Should it be found pos-
sible to saw off these four inches
and keep the rails as low as the
street so much the better but that
achievement would leave the peo-
ple breathless with astonishment.
By attending to these suggestions
South Alamo street will at least
cease to be a nuisance until such
times as it can be properly paved
aad drained as far as the bridge
over the river hard by the Aransas
Pass railway tracks.
What this country wants is free
sugar. Vest cries for a Hat duty.
That is right a duty so Hat that
the consumer cannot see it leaving
him to the benefits of a free trade
in an article that is not raised in
sufficient quantities in the United
States to make it pay at present to
protect. A bounty on what is
raised sufficient to cover the differ-
ence in cost of production will fill
the bill until the experiment of
home production is worked out.
This is the home protective way.
Chilton must either stand from
under or agree to the plank in the
state platform and pledge it his
support. He represents the state
in the United State’s Senate and
not the views of any particular
district or of any particular man.
He has his creed laid down let him
subscribe to it.
Can any one tell the uninitiated
why it is that the railroads in this
state are in the habit of providing
passes to about a score of the noisi-
est colored men in the state that
they may travel to the Republican
state conventions and make Rome
howl? It is as strange as it is sug-
gestive.
The Democrats make a show of
believing that the Republican
party is making overtures to the
Populists and cautions against the
endorsement of Nugent’s speech.
If the Democratic editor who is
loaded with that wind would have
some of his staff interview a Re-
publican of average intelligence
and not gain his ideas of what the
Republican are going to do from
men without any standing either
in or out of the party he might
come a little nearer facts. There
must be a great dearth of Repuli-
lican opinion available in this city
when it is necessary to apply to
such sources for information. Let
Judge Ogden Hon. Ed. Terrell Dr.
Clifford Hon. Sam Johnson Hon.
Henry Terrell Hon. George Pas-
chal or dozens of other respectable
Republicans be applied toand there
is no doubt that the idea of the
Republican party going into the
Populist camp will be frankly re-
pudiated. Such an outcome to the
Republican convention of the 28th
Inst at Dallas is simply absurd.
North Texas is persistently in-
structing the delegates to the state
convention at Dallas on the 28th
to vote for the nomination of Hon-
Charles Ogden of San Antonio for
governor. It is thought that Judge
Ogden would accept shch nomina-
tion could he be assured that his
candidacy would unify the party
heal its dissensions and face it
for a splendid struggle for state su-
premacy in 1896. It is certain that
he would not accept otherwise as
he is not a candidate for political
honors. Judge Ogden would yield
much for the building up of the
party of his choice in Texas and
this is the only consideration that
would induce him to lay aside his
practice for two months and make
a canvass of the state. If the
state Republicans are wise they
will fall into line behind Judge
Ogden on this platform and build
the party up for an aggressive
campaign next presidential elec-
tion.
Compare the builder’s figures
the assessor’s figures the tax col-
lector’s figures the poll register
the school registers the scholastic
registration the miles of electric
railway the public buildings the
pleasure resorts the average
temperature the attractive plazas
pleasure parks and all else that
San Antonio has to offer with any
other city in the state and she will
cross the wire a winner hanas
down in every case. Only those
doubt this.fact who are not up to
the facts.
That Chinese treaty binds both
China and the United States to
keep the Celestials out of this
country. Perhaps a document that
s thus loaded at both ends may be
of force certain it is that a decree
of exclusion only loaded at the
American end is so much waste
paper in John’s eyes.
Madeline Pollard is going on the
stage. If this announcement could
only be followed by the assurance
that Breckinridge was going off
the stage it would be more con-
soling. This country is not suf-
ficiently reckless to stand more
than one of that duet at a time
and it is Madeline’s time.
Satolli has the gift of silence to a
degree that would make the for-
tune of any ordinary pothouse pol-
itician could he be persuaded to
follow the course of the Pope’s rep-
resentative in America but it is
too much to expect such wisdom
from such a source.
Of the three free foolishnesses
that the Democratic party was
pledged to father and support they
have already repudiated two.
Cleveland knocked the bottom out
of free silver and Congress knocks
the stuffin’ out of free trade. Veri-
ly things do move even in the
Democratic party of today.
Kolbism overthrown in Alabama
and Hogglsm rooted out in Texas.
Who says that the old party of re-
action back-action and slack-ac-
tion has not moved up during the
ast decade ? Let the present rate
of progress continue yet another
decade and the Democratic party
will be practically American.
What city the size and import-
ance commercially of San Antonio
can show so clean a business
record as she can for the past three
years? Her failures in that time
have not made a ripple on the sur-
face of her business waters and
yet these have been years of the
greatest depression that the coun-
try tributary to this city has
known. There are few commercial
communities in this or any other
country that can put up such a bid
for public confidence as this show-
ing makes.
Majorities will be good enough
for the state Democracy in the
future. The medicine has been bit-
ter nut wholesome. It takes that
kind of a dose to do any good with
a Texas Democrat’s liver.
There will be no end of narrow-
necked bottles of the human kind
in the convention of the 28th and
the less they have in them the
more noise will they make in
letting it out.
The blunders in the tariff bill as
to date of its going into effect and
other matters are of a piece with
the bill itself which is one blunder
from inception to close.
There is not so much danger in
the sting of the tariff serpent since
the Senate clipped Its tall but the
fangs are not rooted out only
broken off in its ungainly head.
Better luck next time.
There is a long stride towards
Protection taken by the Demo-
cratic party since the Mills’ bill
was laid before the country. The
gain in time to come will be more
rapid than in time past.
There can be no fusion between
the Pops and the Republicans save
on the basis of the spoils. The
two parties have not enough in
common to make a basis of prin-
cipal out of and only pie prevails.
Galveston News says “The San
Antonio strikers seem to have a
majority In the city council.” Not
only tn the council but tn all the
city itself. It was a case of uni-
versal sympathy with labor.
Culberson’s private opinions on
National matters will not bo pain-
fully injected into the policies of
the state. He has a far wider and
broader conception of the duties of
the government.
Cleveland in the main continues
to gain signal victories over the
leaders of his party.
France is a more rapid country
than the United States when it
comes to dealing with assassins
but Uncle Sam is improvin’.
