GUZBEliSOjy'S VETO.
The governor bas braved th
displeasure of tbe spread eagle
orators in tbe legislature and
other sentimentally inclined
persons ty yetoing the bill for
the purchase of San Jacinto
battlesfirtld not because he is
less patriotic than the advocates
cf that bill out because he did
not tleem it expedient consfd-
- ering the present condition the
state's Hn a nces to adopt the
proposed measure just now.
Thcmgh his action may be crit
fcised by many yet many
more will agree with the sensi-
ble conclusion of the governor.
The San Antonio Express ex
presses sentiments which are
very general throughout Texas
!n the following defense of the
governor's act: "No one can
impugn the Governor's patriot-
ism and reverence for the mem
ry of tbe heroes of San Jacin-
to but with hundreds of unfor-
funate insane people confined
in our county Jails without
proper care for want of asylum
Toora with money soFely need
ed foF work in many other dl
rections and with a tremendous
deficiency in the revenues to
aieet current expenses during
the next two years the expen-
ditures af this time of the snm
named in the bill mentioned
woui3 have been worse than
folly particularly as the battle
field cannot get away and will
be available for the purpose at
any time in the future when the
State fs in a financial condition
tt carry out the project of hon-
oring the dead without injustice
tt the living. The bill wa3 rush-
ed through the Legislature un-
der the pressure of sentiment
and he blandishments of fair
women and it is fortunate that
the Governor declined to allow
sentimentality to-get the better
of practical judgment. The
heroes of San Jacinto deserve
a monnment of magnificence
whose pinnacle would" pierce
rbe clouds but it should come
from th free will contributions
of the people not fronrrliela
collectors hands and should be
plared where it would be seen
Jiy the largest number of peo
ple5 not hiddenr away in some
obscnre place where the nroun
roent not the heroes would
oon be forgotten "

Thk Corpus Ghrieti Caller
after about six or seven years
experience as a daily without
any competition and in a good
sized place was obliged to sus-
pend its daily edition hence
the following remarks ou the
subject of daily papers made
by the Caller are significant:
"Yoakum has another dai!jT
the Herald publi-hed by Bow-
man & Mitchell making tbree
for that town two too many. It
tikes a very progressive town
of at least five thousand read
ingpopulation to support one
daily these days as it ought
to be."
Ueban Ross is preparing for
the pres'3 a series of sketches
descriptive of the lower Rio
Grande in other days and of
the families both American
and Spanish who made its his
lory. The book ill appear in
September and will be issued
by Livington & Co New York.
Greece and Turkey are daily
reported as being "on the point
of declaring war" but somehow
they never quite get to the
point.
The European war dogs are
still barking but they have not
yet been turned loose.
THE AIR SHIP.
It Passes Over Dallas and Is
Seen by Several Preach-
ers' Theories.
Dallas Tex. April 16 It
may have been an optical il
Insion but Dallas tonight is
wavering between science and
revelations over the air ship.
It passed north of this city to
night at 8 o'clock going from
East to West and was witness-
ed by hundreds iucluding such
men as Jadge A. T. .Watts
formerly of tbe High Conrt and
Dr. R. C. Kopesh who describe
it as being only about 200 feet
irom tue gronna ana in ap
pearance similar to the air ship
seen in different ptirts of the
country. Preachers say it is
from the other world and is the
avant courier of the second
coming of Christ. They say
that if it was an earthly device
it would be teen by day as
well as by night.
SEVEN CARLOADS OF MAIL

United States mail that ever

aggregated 3000 pouches of let
ters and 1500 sacks of newspa
pers. Tbe mail was the delav
ed matter from the floods all
