SATURDAY EVENING. NOV 1. 1902 That earthquake down in Guatemala is tearing up things there as badly as Pelee did in Martinique, but the loss of life is not included. ■ o That Santa Maria volcano is so much higher than Pelee that when it gets disturbed tclear down to its base it will be a holy terror. o The strike arbitrators have taken off their put on duds and gone into the mines to examine the condi tions and talk with the workmen there. •« 0 Edward is not telling all his little difficulties of person to the public, and that X-ray matter comes as a genuine surprise to the world. . o Grover Cleveland has thrown his fi*h ing tackle' to the winds and laid up hi* fowling pib.e on the rack for the season, taking the stump instead in the vain endeavor to induce or seduce New Jer gey to return to the Democratic column and reduce her to her former state of Democratic imbecility. The effort will not succeed, although the heavy weight of the Democracy pules over his love for the state iff his birth and his love for the Democratic party that is today suffer ing for tire sins 6f his administration. New Jersey has risen from the ashes if her Democfalt'c inability and clothed and in her right political mind is sitting un der the vine and figtree wtii non* to molest or make her afraid. o —— Great Britain and Germany have come to an amicable understanding as to their spheres in South Africa and will divide the Portuguese terri tory. v - o Morocco is now reported on the anxious seat and a revolution pending that maydiycome active and seat a new Sultan on the throne. o The Mad Mullah has not become rabid enough as yet for the Italian government to intervene and help Great Britain out of a hole. — o Secretary Shaw is not the only Repub lican leader and administrative secre tary who si and - for high prices for la bor and high wages in all things and high prices for the commodities of the farmer*. The country is always more prosperous and there i* more get up and get about all thing* when the prices run high and the wage* are correspond ingly good. Thi* country is a high pressure one and not a low pressure one and that is all there i.- to it Give us high wages and high prices and we soar high. Grover Cleveland is in the same old tariff boat that swamped the Demo cratic party in 1896 and put an end to issuing bonds in time of peace to run the government with. ■ —— ... o There is nothing in sight in New York state but an immense Republican majority, alike in state and congres sional candidates. Great Rptain is now about ready to cable her news around the world, and . it is timeAhat the United States was getting there also. E7>eJBEST IS U/?e CHEAPEST C. H. MUELLER’S ‘Zinc and Lead’ STANDS UNCHALLENGED It Is not Cheap, but Good, • in Quality THE NEXT MESSAGE. It appear* to be accepted as gospel that the message that the President will send to Contres* on It* reassem bling will he largely a trust message, and perhaps this conclusion is justi fied by the feet*. Certainly the Presi- dent >:a* taken great Interest in that subject. He has put the matter into the ham’s of the strongest opponents of the combine to make exhauathe researches into the actual outwork Ing* of the trusts, as aHo Into the constitutional limits within which it is possible to act in the attempt to curb tin ir usurpation of an absolute ness of control that is accepted as un healthy. The President, with his us ual directness ha* not left this sub ject and hi* - attitude toward it in any uncertainty His speeches, notably his later ones, since the coal strike so assailed the stability of our manu- factories and the coal mine owners refused to arbitrate the difficulty, snow him opposed to those trusts that merging all competition in their combine defy the natural workings of that competition which is the life of trade anil through which a just ba! ance is preserved. He is going to put upon Congress, to the extent of its constitutional ability to deal with this evil, the responsibility of curbing it by legislative enactment. He is not opposed to the employment of great capital under or.e management, but he is opjtosed to the control of the industries of anv one kind by a syndi cate merging those industries into one and practically dictating to the nation and the people of it 1:1 all that concerns it. This coal merger; that Northwestern Railroad merging; that beef merger are all assailed by the President in one way or another an! with his usual prompt incisiveness it is to be expected that his message will express his views and nis recom- nendations to Congress will be as direct and practical as in the nature of things it is possible to make them. This fight is going to be a hot one, and the result uncertain. But the country at large will be behind this effort to regulate the trusts and will not be hoodwinked into accepting the Democratic diagnosis of the case, that the Republican policy is the cause ot the trusts and the Republican party their father. If the trusts are too strong for the Republican party to down it is certain that they will con- tinue to live, for in every attempt that the Republicans have made to down the trusts they have been an tagonized fy the Democrats. This, while the Democratic party on every stump, in every state, proclaims itself the toe of fhe trusts. That educational bill that -the op position in Commons were to make a battering ram of and put Balfour out of power with, seems to be unequal to the task. There are a few of the collieries and only a few, whose owners pay no attention to the agreement made with the miners, but these do not count. All the old chiefs of the Cleveland administration are out before the pub lic in the effort to revive interest in the old order. Coler of New York will not see the color of hi* dust when he run* his pan through and look* for the stuff in the bottom next Wednesday morning. There are section* in which the Democrats may show a gain, but it will not. be in the vicinity of where Grover and Hill make their debut and their demonstrations. If the returns verify thi* statement where is the hope for the Democracy in a re vival of Clevelandism7 Eh! If Chairman Jones of the State Dem ocratic Committee made anything out of his attempt to badger the President he is not telling it. The laying of the dust in this city was appreciated, but the country round about here is ready for a root soaker, minus the gully washer. • O-- • The taxation of cats is the latest suggestion in a live stock way, and it comes from a Massachusetts woman with a humane soul in her anatomy. If there is anything under the canopy that will galvanize the east into life po litically and give a possible color to Democratic hope it is the emergence of Cleveland from hi* obscurity, but that *ame emergence is the signal for a ral lying of the anti-Cleveland force* in the west and these are the dominant Demo cratic factors there. So it would seem that between the two the party is like the burro and the bundle of hay, or the men who could be happy with either were t'other dear charmer away. If there could be an amalgamation of Brynnism and Clevelandism it might re capture some lo«t Democratic ground. That sentence of six months in jail of a New York autoist for driving his auto as he ought not to, will keep him out of mischief half a year. Williamson county thinks that the favorable weather of the past month will add a third to her cotton produc । tion for this season. o Cotton conditions and estimates are the basis of the sales and the states that produce cotton should take steps by legislative enactment to publish U e most accurate statistics available at least once a month, to the end that the cotton raiser may know BAN ANTONIO DAILY LIGHT, SAN ANTONIO.

If the eruptions in Guatemala con tinue the towns In that neighborhood will have to be abandoned, as there is no means of protecting them. Texas ha* been a warm baby in more Mays than one, ihirfflt? fhe month just closed, and the visitors Mho came in with their overcoats on their backs soon hail them ou their arms'and from there to the ticket checker where they reposed in blissful conditions of unrequiredness. Texas weather is an astonishsr. Manila enjoys more privileges than ever she enjoyed before, but with it all her editors are not allowed to lie about tlie United States officers. President Cleveland seems to think that ihe Democrats are going to take a fall out of the Republicans in New York this fall, bit he will know bet ter three days hence. Cleve) md is the prophet of a disappointed hope. San Antonio might have added an other three thousand to her registra tion lists had there been any object, but she did not wish to discourage the other little towns, so just sampled then) and kept ahead. — 0 It would puzzle a Philadelphia law yer to pick out a ticket from all that is presented In this city that would meet the full and unqualified approval of the man who wants a pure and able county government and nothing else. That poll tax measure will go through a whooping, for it is the measure of the party, and so would anything else, even prohibition. Let ihe Democrats endorse that and eteu Texas w ill swallow the dose. o Galveston is looking up, and her trans actions ara growing at the port enor mously, but she is not gaining a percep tible hair in her methods of doing public business, carrying out contracts, keeping faith with her own citizens or any other of those things by which a growing city commends itself to the confidence of the state and the nation. Galveston has a reputation for municipal and county transactions of the most shady charac ter, and it is to be regretted that her manner of putting her seawall business on its feet and carrying it forward have exposed her at home and abroad to the most unfavorable criticism. That criti cism is heard abroad, but it is heard louder on Galveston island than any where else. It the Populists in Texas are in the insane asylum and the Populists else where are as in this stale then the Democrats in Nebraska and Kansas ate at least half demented, for they are more than half Populist. Colonel Ed Greene is not figuring in Texas pclitics in the Fifteenth dis trict or elsewhere. He is not a state chairman whose standing or falling is bottled up irretrievably witn the Fifteenth district. There is no sniffling in the Republi can camp over the result of Tuesday's election. The grand old party of pro gress, prosperity, patriotism and protection is as certain of victory as if the returns were in. There was no visible connection between the reception of the Cuban minister at Mexico and the gas exhi bit before President Diaz, but they both occurred in the presence of the President and that fact is suggestive. o ■f fhe betting tide in New York has set strongly towards the Democracy within a few days then it is a fact carefully concealed. Is 7 to > in favor of th* ilepub.leans a strong tide in the Democratic direction? It will not do to bank on the regis tration in this city this fall as an in dex of what it may be in the spring, if there is a real hot municipal ticket on the boards. If that is the case it will take more than 5000 to win out. He Hits Back. The Orange Tribune says: “A San Antonio physician takes a very gloomy view of President Roose velt's condition and contends that it is a great deal more serious than the country Is led to believe. This phy sician tells us all about it in a letter to the San Antonio Light, but if it had been written in Chinese it could scarcely be more unintelligible to the average reader. We hope the Presi dent will speedily recover, but if ho has as much the matter with him as this doctor says he must be in a had fix, indeed " That Is Why. The Clarksville Banner says: “An old farmer truly remarks that a homegrown, hand-spanked. bare footed and bard-fisted country boy makes a much better fighter in the battle of life than does the pampered, high collared, creased-trousered youth of our towns and cities, whose clothes have always been dusted with a whisk brom instead of a shingle.” There is truth in this. The coun try boy usually has health ,grit and ambition which are good factors in success, while the more favored townsman, brought up in a debilitat ing atmosphere of the society, be co nes effete and unequal to the race for progress that lies before him. jQ Thl«-ipiaturels on erery box ot the grnuln* gfr/jy, Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets ■O' hB emedy that curve .. all in oiw» TELEGRAPH BREVITIES Mitchell ha* hie data ready lor the strike commissioners.

The Whitesboro News says: "Texas with her cheap and won derfully productive soil, offers an easy solution to the strike problem. The man who toils early and late in the dangerous mines of eastern states for a scanty living would, with a much smaller amou.it of labor, provide all the neccHsariis of life for his wife arid babies from a small Texas farm with hb- vegetables, fruits, meat, bread, mill; and butter. The supply and demand for coal and the increase and decrease of wages would matter net at all to him then." This in a measure is true, but it is fallacious. While coal is needed there must be miners. That some If not all would be better for taking the course suggested none doubt but we must not forget that a good miner may be a bad farmer and vice versa There is a place for all men and those places, must and will be filled. Let well alone. Cunningham's Grit. State Revenue Agent Cunningham, according to the Waco Times-Herald, replying to the question “whether a mnn who calls himself a faith doctor who treats people without medicine and does not charge them anything for his services, but acepts any fee that bis patients desire to give him, is lia ble to the occupation tax of a travel ing physician." said such a doctor was liable to occupation tax for traveling physicians and added: "It makes no difference whether ho charges a fee or not. He may bo do ing God s work in curing people and it may be that God cures them through him. but so did Christ. He. Christ, set the example and stated to His disciples that they must be sub ject to the powers that be, so not having anv money with which to pay His tax.

There is no question about that and the sooner legislation is shaped to that end the better will it be for all concerned. Compulsory arbitration seems to be the panacea for the evil. A Mischievous Doubt. An attempt at general revision at this time would be an assault upon the principle of protection. By again raising a doubt whether we know qur own minds it would impair that pros perity of which the figures given above are so striking an index. It would weaken by disturbing before its cement has hardened our foundation of economic independence. The American people see these facts and we believe they will not consent merely because the Dingley tariff works here and there a hard ship to reopen the whole question of our fiscal policy.
