FRIDAY DECEMBER 20 ’95
What a relief it will be to the
president when congress is over
and the fishing rod and gun are
taken from their hooks while th 3
cares of government are set aside.
Cleveland however breathes a
good deal easter now than a year
ago. He knows that congress is in
safer hands and that the affairs of
the country will be administered
so as not to threaten disaster and
bankruptcy.
If England refuses to arbitrate
the Venezuelan boundary question
there is infinitely more reason why
the United States should refuse to
entertain any proposition for an
arbitration of the Alaskan boun-
dary. The rights there are far
clearer for United States possession
than for that of the British in
Venezuela. There can be but one
issue to this whole question. It is
arbitrate or fight.
There is no doubt that the south-
ern states will figure a little more
conspicuously in the forthcoming
convention at St. Louis than in
any former one for some years. The
growing republicanism of the sonth
is coming into recognition and
there will be more deference paid
to southern opinion.
St. Louis is grabbed already for
the convention. There is not a
leading hotel In the “Big Bridge
City” that has not all of its best
rooms and most spacious parlors
engaged for the meeting of the
clans. The leaders have arranged
their headquarters and are estab-
lishing their bureaus and setting
up all the machinery of their can-
didacy. Great republicans. Great
republic. Great delusion. This is
a queer government of the people
for the people by the people. But
they all will do it.
It will be only upon the eve of
adjournment that the committees
of the house will be announced. A
slow condition of affairs consider-
ing how much time Reed had to
consider matters before congress
opened. There are no Indications
that the congressional sessions
will be brief.
Is Cleveland’s present movement
for such an enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine as • would have
been scoffed at by him a year ago
owing to the fact that the question
which is at issue will have to be
settled by a republican adminis-
tration? It is certain that the
matter will not issue for long
months to come. John Bnll knows
all abont the strategy of masterly
Inactivity in diplomacy.
There will be a strong pull by St.
Louis to capture the democratic
convention now that the republi-
can meeting has been taken in out
of the wet. This would be wise as
the same convention arrangements
would answer for both gatherings
and prevent a double expense
while at the same time doubling
the profits of the gathering. St.
Louis has devised liberally and
should receive liberal treatment in
return.
Crisp was early in the field with
a bill for an appropriation for Ven-
ezuelan boundary commission. It
might be as well to wait and see
whether funds for a boundary com-
mission or for war material are
first in order. There is no doubt of
the readiness of the democrats to
move an appropriation at any
time.
That Midwinter fair is getting
itself talked about all over south-
west Texas. There will be no
tronble in getting all the notice
outside that is needed. What is
wanted is the hearty cooperation
on the Inside and fortunately
there are symptoms of this being
unusually healthy.
The Jewish fair in New York
cleared $70000 in one night for
charity and yet that Jew-baiter of
Germany Ahlwardt comes over to
this country to stir up bitterness
and persecution against such a
people. No wonder he was hissed
and rotten-egged when he spat out
his foreign venom.
With the strict insistance of this
country upon the acceptance of the
Monroe doctrine as the law of
foreign occupation on this conti-
nent will come such a recognition
of the nationality of the United
States as will greatly protect her
citizens who temporally sojourn
in foreign parts.
The St. Louis Republic com-
menting upon the idiosyncrasies
of the Post Dispatch its political
frater remarks that it needs a
clearing house for its liars. Be-
hold how good a thing and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity. Evidently this
is not another name for St. Louis.
No letter that now goes to the
eastern papers from winter resi-
dents here is complete without a
reference to the republican con-
gressman who represents this dis-
trict in the national house of rep-
resentatives. That election was
the biggest advertising card that
San Antonio ever put out.
There is no monument needed to
the memory of the man who in-
vented the popper. Could the
bones of those who have been done
to death by the hand that pulls
the trigger of the popper be piled
in one heap it would be the largest
mausoleum yet reared to human
memory. And the piling up con-
tinues.
Maher and Bob Fitzsimmons are
anxious to pound 'out a living.
What they cannot do on the anvil
they will attempt to do on each
other’s faces.
The belle of former days sucked
the marrow 7 of hummingbird bones
for nourishment. The belle of to-
day wears the hummingbird on
her head to nourish her pride.
There are belles and bells.
There is nothing in the reports
of congress to show 7 that there is a
vice president in the land.
Once more the tables of Cuban
revolution turn and the defeat of
the Spaniards in Santa Clara is as-
serted. Verily the tables of that
revolution are of the railroad kind
turn tables.
Ingalls is not so anxious for a
seat in the United States senate
that he cannot wait until be has a
I chance to oust Pfeffer from the one
that he tries to hold down in the
name of Kansas.
The recklessness with which
human life is taken all over this
United States regardless of state
or county pounds is one of the
growing evidences that life is a
failure on the part of too many.
Stevenson has deserved all that
honor that the country can give to
a silence that is never broken ex-
cept at the expense of the national
dignity.
The press prevaricator who al-
leged that Ingalls was a warm sup-
porter of Harrison has been called
down by the man with two je
who hails from Kansas. Ingalls
denies the soft Impeachment.
Midwinter Fair.
All the space for the Midwinter
fair has been allotted. San An-
tonio merchants are the prospec-
tive exhibitors.
The basement will be reserved for
the Mexican exhibit the Midway
of the fair while the top floor will
be for the entertainment feature.
No explicit program has yet been
arranged. It is expected there will
be competitive drills between sev-
eral of our crack state militia com-
panies and educational congress
art exhibit etc.
—Geo. W. Jenkins editor of the
Santa Maria “Times” Cal. in
speaking of the various ailments
of children said: “When my chil-
dren have croup there is only one
patent medicine that I ever use
and that is Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It possesses some medi-
cal properties that relieve the little
sufferers immediately. It is in
mo opinion the best cough medi-
cine in the market.” If this reme-
dy is freely given as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. It is also an ideal
remedy for whooping cough. There
is no danger in giving It to chil-
dren as it contains nothing injuri-
ous. For sale by F. Kalteyer Chas.

Pumping by Electricity.
The electric motor pump used in
keeping the water out of the sewer
trench and tunnel under the river
north of Commerce street pumps
out 1200 gallons per minute. It
draws the water through a 6-inch
pipe and discharges it in the river
below the cofferdam through a 5-
Inch pipe. It works too fast for
the water and can only run for
about five minutes at a time. At
present it only takes up 200 gal-
lons per minute.

The only secret about
Scott’s Emulsion is years
of science. When made in
large quantities and by im-
proving methods an emul-
sion must be more perfect
than when made in the old-
time way with mortar and
pestle a few ounces at a
time. This is why Scott’s
Emulsion of cod-liver oil
never separates keeps
sweet for years and why
every spoonful is equal to
every other spoonful. An
even product throughout.
In other emulsions you are liable to get
an uneven benefit—either an over or
under dose. Get Scott's. Genuine has
