Tbe San Antonio Express reports
Judge Cook aa saying be bad
idea of withdrawing. Certainly no
one who knows him would expect it
He is enjoying tbe "glory" of running
for governor for which be baa evi
dently so long travailed in spirit
irrespective of any prospect of auc-
ceBB and is uo doubt being well paid
besidos more probably than
ever received before. Wbv should
be not be content with tbe situation?
Meantime Hogg tbe nnpnrcbasable
champion of tho rights of tbe peoplo
is going to the gubernatorial cbair
on the tidal wave of popular favor
So it is all right.
"The American Candidate"
So we sometimes bear Judge Kone
styled in bis contest with Mr. Clemens
for the Senate. Let us look at this
point for a moment.
Mr. Clemens is indeed a German
by birth but came to this country
with bis father when bat ft lad or
youth. He has lived in this country
ever since and is to-day about as
thoroughly Americanized as if he
bad been born hero. Now Judge
Kone we are assured is also of Ger
man stock bis grandfather having
been a German. There is therefore
only the difference of about one gen
eration between those two men in
their distance from the "Father
land." Why then seek to cast pre
judice on Clemens as a German or
give Kone praise as peculiarly an
American? This eort of thing close
ly approaches tbo ridiculous. It
would afford another good ill net ra
tion for Col. Copoland in bis lecture
on tbe ausuidity oi distinctions
founded on caste.
What sensible man does not see
that the solo question as between
Clemens and Kone is aa to which is
the better qualified or is tbe more
likely to servo tbo people effectively
as a member of tbe State SenatoT
Judge Cook is a jurist a statesman
patriot an orator and always a
gentleman. He is incapable of vul
garity. Man Antonio express.
Has the Express forgotten that a
few years since Judge Cook was
somehow invited to deliver a literary
address either before the State Uni
versity or tbat at Georgetown we do
not distinctly remember which but
think tho former. We do however
distinctly remember tbe newspaper
and other comments which were
mado on tbo address at the time
that it was pronounced in style tone
and substance as glaringly unworthy
of the occasion displaying only the
characteristics of aa ordinary stump
speaker and the effort was anything
but pleasurable to those who invited
him and to bis audience generally.
In fact they were very sick over it.
Such is tho Express' model gentle
man and scholar. Verily it must
be hard up for a hero.
There is a vein of keon well ap
plied sarcasm iu tbo following from
Houston Echo:
Those anti commission Democrats
who are .kicking so vigorously and
talk of bolting should hesitate be-

The committee of conference on
the silver bill made a report oa Tues-
day and it is now being debated in
the Senate. Tbe four Republican
members of tbe committee agreed to
report a bill authorizing the purchaso
of -45000000 ounces of pure silver
each month the same to be coined in
standard siver dollars and to be paid
for by issuing silver certificates which
shall be a legal tender for all pur
poses public and private. The bill
will bo contested in the Senate by
the Democratio members of tbat
body but it will no doubt pass both
Houses and become a law with the
approval of President Harrison.
Toe KilUboro Reflector aaya that
while if he is elected. General Hogg
will have every deire to appoist a

without fie legislature. It urge
therefore that the people put a xic

Paesidecl Harrison baa heretofore
been given tbe credit of at least de
precating if not actually onpos
ing tbe passage of tbe Federal elec
tion bill now under discussion in tbe
House. But be has latterly taken
occasion to declare himself in favor of
the bill. A gentleman who in tho past
has hold very close official and per
sonal relations with the President
related tbe Bubstanoe of aa inter
view between him aod tbe Chief
Magistrate last week. The iuter
view openod with a declaration by
Gon. Harrison that under no circum
stances would be interfore even by
the remotest suggestion outside of
an official message with the action
of congress. Then the President
continuod: "If they pass tbe Feder
eral election I will sign it as soon as
it is prosented to mo for my consider
atiod. I want them to pass tbat
bill and I don't care who knows it.
Subsequently the President said he
bad in a desultory wy advisoj uis
friends in both nouses of Congress
to proceed as rapidly as possible
with the final enactment of tbe bill
so that "it might became a question
of discussion in tho coming cam
paign.
No delegation of Indians in Wash
ington of recent years bos attracted
the attention which is now deetowed
on tbo Moqui chiefs. The chiefs ore
a bit modest and instead ot sitting
out on tbe veranda of the hotel to
be stared at by the crowd of children
that Gathered whenever they ap
peared outside tLey went oat into
the back yard and smoked cigarettes.
Eaohof them wore moccasins and
they took tbciri off and went bare
footed except when ia tbe street.
but despite the long strings of beads
threo of thorn wear around their
ecks tbey are all more or less rag
ged and to-day Gen. Morgan Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs will pro
vide each of them with a suit of
"atoro" clothes. The chiefs who are
here say that they had heard that
there were a great many white peo-
ple but they did not believe it they
bad to idea that tbero were any
where near as many white people as
Moquis the latter numbering about
:.non. TLeir triD here has left them
in atntA rf dazed amazement and
the five chiefs have given up all ideas
of hostility to tue whites.
Speaker Reed has donned a
neglige' shirt girded up his loins
with a sash and put on a pair of yel-
low shoes.. This may bo taken as
an intimation that be has made up
bis mind not to adjourn Congress as
early as he announced ho. would at
the beginning of . the session. In
fact it looks as if Mr.J Reed had pre
pared to stay hero an summer. Jj.
Will It be a Democratic Convention 1
Some one who signs himself as a
"True Blue Democrat'' asks in last
Suuday's Express: "Will the con
vention which meets in this city on
August 12 be a Democratio conven
tion!''
He states that the alliance one of
the most campact oath-bound organ-
izations which has ever existed in
this country has gone into the Dem
ocratic primaries irrespective of past
nnrtv affiliations and instructed the
delegates to tho county conventions
and the county conventions under
tbe same influence have instructed
their delegates to the state conven
tion.
In fact be estimates that tbe Dem
ocratic state convention will be so
much impregnated with tbe influence
of the alliance that no true blue Dem-
ocrat can Bit ia tbat body.
We remember some few years
ago when some peoplo (tried to or-
ganize the Groenback party the
leaders of tho "true blue Democracy"
advised the peoplo to stay in the
Democratic party and there contend
for their rights. But we suppose
since that time all tbe Democratio
nnrlu of ni'V linn been tAken. aild there
is no room for those who are in favor
of reform. Another thing is the
party leaders are always willing for
the farmers and wage workers to
vote the party ticket provided that
is all the privilege they ask; but when
the laboring peoplo rise up' and
"speak out in meeUQ'" and Bay tbey
have Ihb right to have some say as
to who shall be governor they prove
to be political' renegades and are
miniputating their plans in "secret
oath-boand political organizations.
It will do no good to kick Mr.
"TrueBloe Democrat" the masses are
going to take a band in politics and
see tbat such a man aa GustaTe Cook
ia not elected Governor of Texas.
This is ooh tne begioniog of tbe
nolilical revolt that ia to come aod
strikers may as well abdicate for they
are doomed and if they don't waDt
J w
to associate political! v with farmers
and wage woikerm they should get
out and organize a party which will
Oit their fastidious tastes better.

Master Workman Powdorly el the
KnlffhU of Labor in addressing
workingman'a picnic at Priceburg
this county Friday eyening. rad to
them tbe declaration of indepen
dence commenting on tbe various
passages as be procooded and said
all men are creatod eqnal and no
false restrictions should keep them
down. Ooing into a political review
of the present be said:
The consent of the governod
which our forefathers demanded is
not asked those days. For a week
or a month before a convention we
knar that a certain man is to be nom
inated for tbe governor and that if
tbe choice or tbe convention were
nnl hn nlinirta of tliO VOterS it WBS
beoause tbey bad stayed away from
tbe primary polls. Coutiuuing be
oMrAl himself not onlv a crank on
on temperance but on ballot reform i
"I want" be said "to see a law
passed by which every man and wo
m.n ahull hfiTA the ballot shall cast
a vote fair and nntrammeled. We
hear a great deal about tbe Chicago
anarchists who were hanged a few
years ago. I never mcito to violence
bot I oak yau wuo is tue greater
anarchist August ' Spies who was
strangled on the gallows or tbe
party boss who prevents the enact-
mflni nf a Iaw that would be for the
good of the whole people and who
wipes a similar law irom we emium
I)aimi8b it does not 6uit bimT
Such men as Matthew Stanley Quay
and William A. Wallace. Thank
God Wallace was defeated in Scran-
ton this week and I hope be always
will be defoated. . Albert Parsons
the Chicago anarchist and M. b.
Quay are identical."
Mr. Powderly then attacked tne
trusts. Tbe trust of tbe present
day be said is worse than tbe sav-
ages of one hundred years ago. There
are many present today who went
with mo to the bouses of our breth-
ren during the destitution that ex
isted from November of last year to
May of the present year. We found
logs substituted for chairs tables
made of fence boards and beef had
not been in their houses for months.
fYirnmpn.1 find water were the portion
of these people for months together.
Do yoa think" uod ever inienaeu
this for His children!
Mr. Powderly next spoke of the
titles to the conl lands held in this
vnllev. He said: "I am not alwavs
in favor of disturbing vested rights
but tbe day is not fnr distant when
these coal lands will be opened by
tbe State. Quo cause of the destitu-
Jon in these valleys I ast wi n b er was
Mia discrimination in freigh t charges
ar 1-inf.woen the bituminous and tho
anthracite regions but the vengeance
of a merciful God win one aay oe
wreaked unou those responsible for
everv rjaoc of hunger. It is one of
theaims of the Anights oi moor
that the State should control.

The Priuclples of Nationalism.
Nationalists maintain that man's
stmgglo should be with nature alone
and not with his brother man; that
the way to fight successfully with
nature is to join hands to co-operate.
Nationalists say lint the proper func
tion of a railroad is to distribute
goods and passengers as expedi
tiously and conveniently as possible
nml not to run the distribution of
the country for tbe sole purpose of
muting big dividends into a iew
Dockets. Thev eav that the sole ob
iectof farming is to.supply the bung
rv with food cloth mating to cioiue
nuked bocks and so forth. In short
Nationalism teaches that production
should be for general so not in
dividual profit.--The Weekly Nation
alist -
No More Surulu.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Republican makes the following frank
admission:
Thflro will hardly be ranch of a
snrDlus to bother over at the end of
tbe fiscal year which began about a
week aero. The regular expenditures
of the Government including those
made necessary oy tue new pension
legislation will with tbe sinking
fund nrobablv absorb all tbe revenue.
and if the McKinley bill cuts down
tbe revenue as much as is predicted
even tWeinking fund payments will
have to be suspended. This is not
a pleasant prospect for the country.
Criminal prosecutions were began
under Judge Cook that would have
effectually closed the Palace theatre
but tbe apostolic Judge was afraid
of the influence that would be
brought to bear and allowed every-
thing to go by default.
So says tbe Houston Echo. The
place referred to is one of the lowest
dives to be found anywhere.
GnstaveCook is. still grlivanting
over tbe sUte although he must have
long since realized that bis gooso
waa cooked. But we suppose the

A0 a

was there fog and that light each
morning for the week a light mist.
since then the weather has been the
most agreeable I bave ever experi
enced at Ibis reason the range of
temperature at 5:30 a. m. has been
61o to 6i at 2 p. m. 7G to 8G
the latter but twice G2o and 82 are
nearly without exception the points.
The ocean breeze from 0 a. m. js
most agreeable and invigorating.
I found Santa Ana truly an ".Em
erald City.' completely embosomed
in flowers shrubbery aud fruits. The
streets are level' and all walks per-
fectly shaded by large trees of
eucalyptus pepper and cypress.
Cement walks extend far out from
tbe business center. Que feature
that largely enhances the beauty of
the place there are no fences to ob
struct the view of tbe beautiful lawns
and gorgeous flower plats that so
extensively abound many bave fine
hedges of cypress trimmed in nl
conceivable forms. Add to tbe above
fine orchards of oranges lem-
ons English walnuts apricots
prunes pears apples nnd peaches
. a. i J
you will then oe aoie to iorm
a faint conception of this em
erald city by the sea. The staple
faim crops of graia are barley and
wheat in the order named peanuts
are largely land with pronu culti
vated A ranch pear here has 45-
000 acres of barley yield 331 bush
els per acre 5000 of wlnat over 30
bushels per acre. The fruit crop is
heavy and ia bringing better prices
than for years. Add to this the
scale that so b idly injured the orange
tree and insect that ruined tbe rais-
ing grapo have nearly disappeared
you will readily see why tbe country
is jubilant. Surely this return to its
normal condition is far hotter for all
concerned than the inflatioa which
eariches a few and ruined so many.
Our system (or lack of system) of
waterworks consists of surface-wells
40 to 50 feet iu depth and artesian
wells the one from which we are
supplied is 350 feet deep with a flow
sufliciently strong to elevate the wa-
ter (by ram) 60 feet. Tbe water
seems pure sweet and quite soft.
I will add to the above thus far

mosaaitoes: flies ore troublesome
about the house never on ihe street.
All houses have windows and doors
screened.
