POLITICAL SCRAPS.
[Written for the Light bv a Demo-
crat]
Will our commisoners court remember
that the people can vote and thereby in
fair elections secure their choice. Stan-
field was voted for all over the county;
he lives far enough away from the San
Pedro not to be tainted with local poli-
tics.
I quote by permission from a letter of
one of the most popular El Paso demo-
crats to his friend here- “we used to
laugh a*he negro for belefvingin repub-
lican promises of 40 acres of land and a
mule and during the last campaign the
democrats swallowed more
promises as these from the present gover-
nor of Texas” and also that “thepolitical
Moses did not lead us to the promised
land.”
Does Finley's epithet of “skunks” for
the Clark followers include Hubbard
Ross Cook and their friends?
A Hogg organ at Austin says “to refer
to the anti-prohibition campaign by
some of Clark's friends will become a
boomerang; that Hogg has hosts of
friends among the prohibitionists.” Cor-
rect. Hogg has many but C ark here at
least has the best men of the prohibition
party; they assert that the people under
C ark and' Mills’ generalship defeated
them. They accepted defeat in good
faith and are loyal to Clark now; as true
to him as the unquestioned loyalty of the
old confederate soldier is to the Union.
Who doubts that today.
Hogg’s enmity to railroads is the only
feature of consistency about the man. His
friends are costly to the roads—slBooo to
Finley for sixteen whole and two frac-
tional days. Perhaps a Hogg man suc-
ceeded Chilton in drawing a railroad
salary. What was the number of Hogg's
railroad pass during last campaign? We
lost the number.
Revival Services Closed.
The revival services at the Cumberland
Presbyterian church on Soledad street
which' have been conducted for the past
three weeks by the Rev. F. P. F auiken
of Nashville Tenn. were closed last
night. During this time there have been
forty conversions and twenty-eight addi-
tions to the church.
Rev. Flaniken leaves today for Tehua-
cana Texas.
Wants Them to Resign.
Editor Light: There is a significance
in a name; only a Modoc could write such
trash so void of logic and common sense
as appears in today’s Express. We tax-
pavers love our homes our city and will
prove so. Let Callaghan and his ten
creatures resign; we will elect others in
their places and 24 hours after their in-
stallmentin office we will vote for any
amount necessary to run the city govern-
ment. O. 8.

Mission Garden Ball.”
Saturday night a number of young
people gathered at the Mission Garden
and spent the night in dancing and mer-
riment. At midnight a halt was called
and the guests retired to the dining hall
where a well chosen and sumptuous
meal was partaken of. After luncheon
they returned to the hall and continued
their dancing to the music of Theo Artz’s
orchestra. This was kept up until after
4 a. m. when the guests repaired to their
homes after one of the most enjoy-
able evenings of the season.
The committee of arrangements who
looked out for the comfort of the guests
consisted of A. H. Lockwood. W. H. and
D. C. Bitter W. B. Koerps and E. W.
Walton.
RAILROAD NOTES.
The engines which were left in the
round house by the turning table break-
ing have been gotten out on temporary
tracks laid for the purpose. While get-
ting the 67 out she became derailed four
times and had to be “jacked up” on the
rails again.
This afternoon the tracks will be fin-
ished out to the main track and the en-
gines be again out on the road.
The engines on the I. & G. N. gave the
first alarm of the fire last night the
switch crew then took a short lay off.
The I. & G. N. shipped four Union Pa-
cific cars of stock south last night.
The S. A. P. is using the Riverside park
spur for a place to store empty box cars.
Business is undoubtedly poor on that road
as the switch is full of empties.
The S. A. P. is carrying a number of
passengers to the Southwestern Insane
asylum this spring.

Surprised Them.
A party of surprisers on Prospect Hill
tendered Mrs. F. J. Beitel a surprise par-
tv at her beautiful residence Saturday
night. The evening was most enjoyably
spent in games and conversation and a
delicious lunch was served the guests.
The affair was in honor of Mrs. Beitel’s
birthday.

The Last of Its Kind.
The last mask ball of the season was
given at the Arbeiter Verein last Satur-
day night and proved a very enjoyable
affair.
The music and floor were both good and
the fun was still better. Dancing was kept
up until after 3 o’clock yesterdaymorning
when the guests left for their several
homes well pleased with their evening's
entertainment.

SHORT SNAPPERS.
Anti-bond-meet tonight.
The dry goods’ merchants are moving
the spring trade.
The county scalp hunters are still un-
happy.
The “Dead Witness” is the wind-up of
a big bill at the Washington this week.
The friends of the Red Prince are
grieved at his misfortune.
Standing room only at the Bella-Union

for this week.
The loan offices are carrying a heavy-
stock of pledged goods.
Kickapoo has still got his best eye on
the courthouse.
The “English Grunt” has been labelled
with a medal. A box of corn plasters
would have been appropriate.
How some people do squeal when the
shoe fits too tight.
Col. Brackenridge Is considered an able
financier therefore declines to put up any
more cash for the city.
Joe Short and Joe Long are very
auxious to find out "who is Kickapoo”.
Ask “Hypheu” he thinks he knows.
Old Sam Whiskers has ordered a boy-
cot on the Light. The people will join
the Light in a boycot next November.
It will be fun to see how “Brine” will
make those court house critters dance
about next November.
The people will make it warm enough
for Brine but Brine can make it red-hot
for those court house friends?
Brine can well say: “Save me from my
friends.”
West End will vote: “No more bonds.”
When the people become thoroughly
arroused not a ward in the city will vote
in favor of more bonds.
The Hogg democrats seem o hold both
euus of tue string in Bexar county.
