It is almost as difficult to get at the
truth matters in Corea as it is in
Armenia and in Cuba. There is a
muchness about those Corean affairs
and the affairs of Cuba that is very
suggestive. In both cases it is a
struggle for independence carried on
against overwhelming odds and with
the great powers of Europe favoring
the strongest side. Uncle Sam alone
favors the under dogs in both fights
but Grover has Sam by the coat tails
and is hanging on.
Silver Cicada Stewart got wrathy
in his reply to Thurston. This is the
height of folly. Tho weather is
too torrid for that yet a while. Stewart
had better keep his breath to cool his
temper. He will need Lt all before the
race is run and the epitaph of the free
silverites writ.
HOME INDUSTRY WORK.
The Business Men’s club of this
city has devised -wisely in inaugurat-
ing a movement in favor of home in-
dustries. The work as undertaken
by the club under direction of its sec-
retary aims to practically educate the
people of San Antonio into a general
and wise patronage of their home in-
stitutions. It is believefi that if those
who produce and those who consume
in this city can be brought together
the one to exhibit the quality and ex-
tent of their productions the other to
note that quality and variety a very
long step will be taken in advance.
Out of such exhibits and the instruc-
tions as to what home patronage has
done in building up in other cities
great industrial works employing
thousands of laborers will come such
an appreciation of the value of these
home industries as a factor in build-
ing all the trade and enterprise for
which we languish that there will be
no question as to the support given
them. There is an intimate connec-
tion between the productions of any
community and its market and cre-
ation of a market for tbbse home
goods is what is needed. San Antonio
is making continually an advance in
her creative industries and yet our
people are passing right by the doors
of these industrial establishments and
placing their orders elsewhere. To
stop this suicidal policy is the effort
of this industrial co-operative move-
ment. To turn into the channels of
our home production the streams of
supply that now run out to the sup-
ply of the rival sections is the work
undertaken. In order to do this a
weekly exhibit of the productions of
our home establishments is made.
These exhibits are made in order that
our people may see what San Antonio
is doing in creating for herself. Prizes
in connection with these exhibits are
arranged for to interest the people
the exhibitors donating their products
for this purpose. Addresses on the
value of supporting home industries
to the trade of the city will be given
each week in connection with the ex-
hibits and the motive supplied for a
positive patronage of all that can be
produced here. When this work is
thoroughly done in town its operations
will be extended to the country .tribu-
tary to the city and the attempt to
create there a market for all that San
Antonio creates and trades in while
on the other hand the aim will be to
make in San Antonio a market for all
that the surrounding country can pro-
duce. Thus the benefits wil be mu-
tual within and without the city all
parties benefitted by this reciprocity
of patronage and the home market
built up for all that can be supplied
here. As these industrial establish-
ments enlarge being fed by home pa-
tronage the wages in them will be
multiplied to feed in turn the trade of
the city. This policy pursued a few
years would add thousands of work-
men to our factories and mills and
create vast establishments where
now small concerns are struggling
for existence. The wages of these
workmen would largely increase the
profits of our merchants of every
class and thus work out the problem
of self-help to home salvation.
The farce at Fort Worth is over and
the old Austin Gang have again hung
up theiZ brazen shields in the halls
of officml life from which they took
them down when they marched for
the lair of the panther. It may be
that those shields will come down for
good if the Populists act in good
faith with the Republicans of the
state and actually deliver the state
goods.
Now that the state convention has
been held and the several candidates
before that convention know where
they are at there will be a drawing
of the lines and the districts that
have not yet nominated their con-
gressmen will hasten to close the
gaps. The i>aek will soon be in full
cry and the music will be sweet in
the ears of the hangers on who reap
election harvest.
McCall is a good fellow but he
shied his castor into the ring at the
wrong time. No man who did not
have a C. C. brand on him at Fort
Worth had a ghost of a show. It is
to John D's everlasting honor and
present disappointment that in his
case that brand was not in evidence.
It is almost time that the colored
voters in the south began to scent the
truth of events luese truths all
point in the direction of a subjugated
and unsuccessful political party in
every instance where the colored vot-
ers are in control. Point to a state
that teaches otherwise. True wis-
dom for the colored voters lies not in
the direction of attempted domina-
tion. >
Thurston says that he will take Bry-
an's word for the statement that he
did not travel the country agitating
free silver coinage in the pay of the
silver syndicates. Bryan’s reply is
not open and flatfooted as it should
be notwithstanding Thurston so ac-
cepts it. Bryan is nof charged with
changing front on the silver question
nor with agitating it because he was
paid for it by the silver ring but with
taking from the silver men a salary
for his free silver efforts thereby
stamping the syndicate as directly
interested in this work of the free
silver advocated. Bryan thus charged
proposes to tell what monies were
paid him here and there for lecturing
but does not deny that he received a
salary from the free silver combine.
Bexar county has only one interest
political in so far as her vote as a
Republican center is concerned that
is the election of a Republican mem-
ber of congress. To this every Re-
publican who is true to his name will
surrender all personal feeling and
heartily join in the fight.
Ex-Empress Eugene joins hands
with Queen Victoria in making the
little widow of Henry of Battenberg
her heir. The $8000000 given by
Queen Victoria and her two personal
residences supplemented by Eugene’s
fortune will put the little woman
above want. SBe will thus receive
compensation for her lot as the wife
of a man whom every one seemed to
conspire to condemn.
The delegates from the western
counties of this district who never
attended a Republican convention be-
fore were loud/m their appreciation
of the enjoyability of that three
hours’ circus. It was not what they
looked for but they took it in as so
much extra added to the bill.
Tillman and Watson ’■-have been
holding a little love feast of their
own down in Watson’s baliwick.
What the feast was spread with is
not published in fact the menu is
kept secret but the cook says that
the chef d’ aeuvre was a dish of
South Carolina electoral sauce a la
Watson.
There is no doubt that the Indiana-
polis convention will be a harmonious
one. Will the result thereof be peace
to the distempered soul of the white
silver wing of the Democracy? Nay
we reply.
Grover is going to receive Li Hung
Chang by proxy. At least he is not
going to receive him at the national
capital nor in the presidential resi-
dence. Grover should not bave at-
tempted to receive the heathen at all
or he should have gone the entire
porker. Li will brook no appearance
of a slight for those fellows are as
sensitive and as bland as Ah Sin was
his name.
The cartoons that are educating the
people into the absurdity of the circus
acts that Bryan essays are miser-
able things in the abstract but they
point a moral or adorn a tale in a
wa.v that beggars the power of the
highest art. These cartoons are real
educators.
Weaver of lowa has been tendered
a place on the national white ex-
clusion campaign committee. That
committee is as many headed as the
fabled Hydra judging from the men
who have been sugested as its chair-
man. Why is it that there are so
many mentioned and all found want-
ing?
Thurston has taken the measure of
Bryan as carefully as if he was his
tailor. In fact he has measured him
for that suit of presidential pants
that Bryan ordered and found that
there was not free silver cloth enough
in the American shop to build a pair
out of. Thurston says that Bryan
was not built for wearing such clothes
and that the eternal fitness is ag'in
him.
Bryan is going to swing around the
circle of the Empire State to see if
he can make a better impression than
he left at Madison Square garden.
He will visit Hill's old home In the
forlorn hope of creating such a furore
there as will force Hill into the free
silver ranks. Bryan does not know
David B. That knowledge will come
to him considerably later too late to
do any good.

WHAT A PROMINENT INSUR-
ANCE MAN SAYS.
11. M. Blossom senior member of
11. M. Blossom & Co. 217 N. 3rd St.
St. Louis writes: I had been left
with a very distressing cough the
result of influenza which nothing
seemed to relieve until I took Bal-
lard’s Horehound Syrup. One bottle
completely cured me. I sent one bot-
tle to my sister who had a severe
cough and she experienced immediate
relief. I always recommend this
syrup to my friends.
John Cranston 908 Hampshire
street Quincy Ills. writes: I have
found Ballard’s Horehound Syrup su-
perior to any cough medicine I have
ever knowh. It never disappoints.

A Dallas merchant is the father of
several marriageable daughters. In
fact they have been marriageable for
a number of years. Not long since
one of his clerks left his employment.
“You are a most excellent young
man and enjoy my perfect confidence.
I would like to present you with
something to remind you of me dur-
ing the rest of your life” said the
merchant.
“I’ll be only to glad to take any-
thing you have to offer.” replied the
clerk.
lam rejoiced to hear that. Take
your pick of my daugthers. You
need a good wife.”
The clerk took—his leave.

A VICTORY’FOR AMERICAN AU-
THORS.
The appellate division supreme
court of New York handed down all
judges concurring on July 31 a de-
cision of immense importance to ev-
ery American author owing to the
copyright of the work produced.
In case No. 670 Richard Henry Sav-
age vs. Frank Tennyson Neely the
decision grants to the author the
right to examine the publisher on
oath before trial with full access to
all papers and original vouchers in
cases where fraud is alleged in the
withholding of proper information.
Justice Barrett signed an order for
the examination with a subpoena du-
ces tecum of the defendant in this
case. This ruling is a final expression
of sound law and vastly more im-
portant than the Paul Bourged de-
cision In France. That only gave
access to the accounts for ten years.
This ruling gives the sworn verifica-
tion of every disputed item as well
as full access to all books papers and
original vouchers. There will be some
interesting analogus cases to follow
shortly where publishers have simply
tendered their own transcripts at
pleasure.
