leased.
Business at the post canteen is get-
ting very dull lately. Checks and

Stocks will be taken at the post
canteen on the first.
Some goods which were shinped
from Chicago on the 12th inst. for the

them.

says that Second Lieutenant Stevens
of the 23rd infantry has been pro-
moted to a first lieutenant and is as-
signed to I company 20th infantry.
He is to remain on duty at Fort Sam
Houston until further orders. Lieu-
tenant Stevens is one of the most
popular officers at the military post
and the order which takes him away
from Fort Sam Houston will be great-
ly regretted by his many
friends at the * military post
and also in the city. Though
all will unite in complimenting him
on his good luck in being promoted.
His new company is an Indian com-
pany stationed at Fort Assinniboine
Mont.

SHORT STOPS.
What the Feople are Saying
The following official advertise-
ment appears in the Express:
“Public notice. Mayor s office San
Antonio Tex. Oct. 17 1891. The
public is respectfully Invited to visit
tne new city hall buildiug as follows:
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.
m to 12 m. and from 3 to sp. m. Sat-
urdays from 10 a. m. to 12 m. aud
from 2t03 p. m. Bryan Callaghan
Mayor by E. P. Claudon city clerk."
The people notice this invasion of
a foreign custom—for instance in
Paree Berlin and other European
cities the palaces aud public build-
ings are open to the public on certain
days. In this country every public
building from the capital at Wash-
ington to the county court house is
open every day for the inspection of
the people. The theory is that these
buildings belong to the people in
charge of the officials for public pur-
poses.
This is no doubt the results of
Mayor Callaghan’s trip through Eu-
rope; he imagines himself “lord
mayor.”
So far as the new city hall is con-
cerned no taxpayer cares to look at
It more than twice a week.
The Lord Mayor should ordain that
the people must not look at the build-
ing from the outside only long enough
to discover the tower and not long
enough to find out what is going to
become of it.
It will also be noticed that the vis-
iting days are not the days on which
the city council meets. Now the peo-
ple would like to see the menagerie
when they do visit their new city
hall.
The people are getting dreadfully
tired of this attempt to turn our city
government into a one-man concern
run on a half-foreign way—our people
are not aristocrats; ana have no pa-
tience with this aping of foreign
ways In dealing with public affaire.
City Employee as Corporation Pro-
tectors.
To the Daily Light-
It is stated in the public prints that
City Marshal Shardien had been or-
dered to an outside county to protect
the interests of a railroad corporation.
This being a fact it is a sufficient
cause for the people to immediately
rise and wipe out the whole bunch
from the sage of Beanville down to
the creature that struts under that
plug hat.
Mr. Bhardein’s post is at Ban An-
tonio and not outside of it. He is
paid by Ban Antonio taxpayers aud
not by* the interested receivers of a
railroad He is subject to the imme-
diate orders of the mayor and was
doubtless sent away from bis duties
by that individual to the detriment
of course ot the city’s interest.
Think of it ye plucked tax-payers
and make answer at the polls if not
sooner. No blame is attached to Mr.
Shardein but the person that drove
him from his post should himself be
driven from his by those whom he
misrepresents. When a mayor repays
a corporation for its votes
by deputing a paid employe
ot the city to take up arms and fight
if need be out side of the line of duty
for his cunning benefactors heslmplv
does an injustice to the employe and
disgraces the position which he
holds. He then becomes a vicious
master and not a willing servant a
tyrant foul and dangerous and as
un-American as the vilest anarchist.
C. U. Later.
W ants $20000 Damages.
Joe Lusicki (through his attorney
W. H. Grigg Esq.) has filed suit
against the city in the 37th district
court for $20000 damages for injuries
received In the city gravel pit on Dec.
3rd 1890

Written for the Light.
She was a Miss ot style and taste
Her father possessed considerable
wealth;
To keep up with times she desired to
take
An ocean trip for her health.
Her ailments? Well we presume
The ladder of pride to mount
To fish beyond the blue waves
For a Baron or a Count.
One bright lovely morning
Father’s heart was filled with joy;
To receive a cable from his young
tourist
Handed him by a messenger boy.
“ Dear Papa! ” the message read
Bend me £5OO without fail
For I struck a genuine bargain;
Particulars I send by mail.
My darling is Count De-Btitution
A most worthy and lovely man;
That charming title he bought
On the installment plan.
Father dear don’t worry
As the money is well spent.
I shall discount the bill
Aud thus save fifty per cent.
The economical daughter received in
reply
The desired shekels will not come;
I don’t doubt it is a paying invest-
ment;
But can use 'em to more advantage
at home.

Guv. Hogg on County and City Re-
form.
Editor Light.
It is usual for the henchmen ot the
county and city ring—they are “one
and invisible” to say when any com-
plaint is made of the way in which
matters are conducted. “Oh it is
nothing but the growling of a sore-
head wuuse political belly is empty.”
“Its only precjuoiceand venom” and
“it Is unworthy ot notice.” This way
of heading off the just complaints of
the people has grown very stale and
will no longer pass. .
Gov. Hogg In bis speech at the
Dallas Fair’hit the nail plumpiy on
the head and drove it home witn the
force of a trip hammer. As he Is a
Democrat he is an unexceptionable
witness. The reform must as he says
begin in county and city matters.
The state taxes are very moderate
and reasonable. The people know
bow they are disbursed. Tne county
tax is high. The new court house
for Bexar will increase them very
considerably. But the city tax is a
skinner and it is climbing up all the
time with a sort of geometrical ratio.
The people alone can apply the
remedy by changing the county aud
city officials and electing men in close
touch with the tax payers. Whether
the people are satisfied to submit
to the present stale of things is a
matter tbey must decloe for
ln the meantime let
them read and score deeply in their
minds what Gov. Hogg says in the
following extract-
“In politics reform should begin in
the county government—or In town
and city governments where people
have these evils to contend with. “I
do pity any man” said the governor
who lives in one of these high-taxed
little towns. He catches it under the
shirt aud ‘don’t you forget It.’ ” It’s
pitiable when you see cities issuing
bonds—one of the most iniquitous
schemes now in vogue. He said “town
taxes are ten times greater than
county; county three times greater
tuan state.” Hayside.
Fashionable Card Party
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Georgeentertained
a few friends last evening at their el-
egant residence in West End. Pro-
gre-sive euchre was the main object
of the evening’s pleasure aud the
prizes awarded were very beautiful.
The company retqrnod to the city
about midnight. Tho«e present were:
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Russ Mrs. Irion
Miss Alma Ogden Miss Fanny Simp-
son Miss Clark ot Denver Col. Miss
Belle Graham Miss Florea Miss
Alida Prescott. Miss Emma Weir and
the Misses Sarah Myra and Emma
Reed and Messrs. G. W. Russ Jr.
Richard Buckley James Simpson R.
B. Green A. W. Beeligson Rigsby
Lay R. Corner and Dexter Holt. Tne
winners of the gentlemen’s prizes
were R. Corner and A. W. Seeligson
and of the ladies’ Misses Emma
Reed and Emma Weir. The booby
prizes were captured by G. W. Russ
Jr. and Miss Alma Ogden.
Foot Ball.
The St. Marj’s college foot ball
club did not show up yesterday at
the Springs to play the Ban Antonio
foot ball clubf therefore the latter had
a practice game in which some very
creditable playing was done. The
score stood 6 to 1 at the end of the
game. The San Antonio club would
like to hear from some of the clubs in
this city. They have a standing
challenge.

[BY OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR.]
If the circus took away $lOOOO from
San Antonio we paid a big price for
our rattle and whistle.
After all “men are but children of a
larger growth” and bound to have
their toys and Jimcracks the same as
the small fry of humanity.
Had San Antonio capitalists been
Imbued with a liberal public spirit
such as animates those of Dallas we
would have had a splendid fair this
fall and a deposit of $250000 in our
city by visitors to the fair.
It is a good plan to change preach-
ers every now and then as a “new
broom sweeps clean.”
The Commercial Exchange is sup-
ported by the real estate brokers but
they have not so far received any
dividend on their Investment. The
boom has not materialized.
-It lowers the dignity of the press
below zero to have newspapers com-
plain because they are not “dead
headed” generally.
If Texas farmers will raise more
corn bay and hogs aud talk politics
less they will soon be prosperous and
contented.
The content’on and dissension of
the Irish have handicapped Ireland
for centuries and is doing so today.
They evidently do not believe in
the scriptural maxim that “a bouse
divided against itself cannot stand.”
A railroad to Brownsville will be a
mllchcow without any milk in her
udders.
Brownsville enjoys no commerce
and the intervening country has noth-
thing to ship.
When you meet with men that are
on fire to alter the form aud plan of
our government you will run no risk
of a mistake if you set them down as
lunatics.
Wisdom lets “well enough alone.”—
folly beiug a tinker and a cobbler by
trade always wants to be mending
and patching.
Under our government all enjoy the
.fullest freedom along with equality
under the law. All are eligible to
public offices and can enjoy the fruits
of their labor in security.
Beware of the man that keeps a
stable full of hobbies.
Pin not your faith to men that are
addicted to isms. Their minds are
not ballasted by judgment nor their
principles stable and matured.
They are taken with every aovelty-
The probability is that the republi-
cans will carry Massachusetts New
York. Ohio and lowa next month.
The “sober second thought” of the
people is the ground work of republi-
can success. By that it conquers.
Tammany is on trial before the
people of New York and will surely
be convicted ot corruption and
tyranny of the worst sort.
Macune has feathered his nest out
'of the farmers and is still plucking
them of their feathers at a great rate.
As women are extravagant and fond
ot dress they sue for divorces if their
husbands cann it furnish them with
finery. Men had better put off mar-
rying until they are in a condition to
support wives in “good torm.”
Women no longer ts.ke husbands
for “better or worse” but marry on a
speculation.
