FOR CONGRESS
12th Cong. District
lION. GEO. H. NOONAN
Election Tuesday Nov. 6 ’94.
The undertakers’ restricting or-
dinance hung lire again Monday.
Why not call for lowest bids on a
morgue and be done with it?
The car company which openly
violated the law against employing
of minors on street railways should
be summarily dealt with.
A candidate for the Legislature
Mr. McElwee is reported as mak-
ing a speech in a public place that
a man who had to go to a priest to
confess before he voted was unfit
to represent the people.—McElwee
must be a “A. P. A.”
A bit of Aiderman Mackey’s cour-
teous gallantly came to light in the
City Council session last Monday
through a petition of a lady. He
once came to the assistance of a
team with a broken ‘‘neck yoke.”
Aiderman Mackey never was a
Pharisee.
“Mr. Wilson had scarcely landed
when be commenced to make apol-
ogetic explanations of his London
speech.”—S. A. Express.
What has Gus been doing ever
since his Mission Garden speech?
This is more interesting to the
people of the 12th district than
Prof. Wilson’s apologies.
“I am a farmer and stock man
myself and I will not consent to
the betrayals of our interests by
anyone sent to serve me.”—Wel-
don.
Judge Noonan can say the same
thing.
“If there is an absolute free-
trader in this section willing to
submit to such terms his sanity
should be inquired into.”—Ex-
press.
This is what you say but how
about Gus?
The city finance committee could
tackle the tax question with good
results. There is now a delinquent
tax roll of 1500000. Let the finance
committee ease up a little on ac-
count of the stringent times and
see if the remedy won’t work like a
charm.
“Mr. Theodore Justice takes a
mean advantage of Senator Voor-
hees in that wool selling proposi-
tion. Justice deals in practicabili-
ties based on facts while Voorhees
deals in theories based on noth-
ing.”—B. A. Express.
What does Gus deal in ? that’s
what the people want to know.
THE STREET CAR TROUBLE.
The refusal of Mr. Weiss to com-
ply with the city ordinance re-
quiring a conductor and motor
man to each car and the employ-
ment of boys has again opened the
street car trouble. The ordinance
is intended to protect the lives and
property of the citizens. The hand-
ling of these electric cars requires
the services of competent able-
bodied men. The slipping
of a trolly may snap* a
wire that will carry more death
with it than the discharge from a
platoon of soldiers. No one appre-
ciates the danger to life carried in
the miles of eleetrlc wires stretched
over the heads of our people. Ac-
cidents have already happened
that prove that these overhead
wires are fragile and it is as-
serted that much of it
is poor stuff. Mr. Weiss has
invoked the aid of the courts to
restrain the city from interfering
with the running of his cars. If he
should be then our citi-
zens may as well prepare for self
protection.
THE SAN PEDRO PARK.
The remarks of some of the ai-
dermen Monday on the condition
in which the San Pedro park has
been kept were very applicable.
Aiderman Mackey’s plan to let the
city take hold of it and make a
beautiful park of it was quite
timely but the city would have to
place a man there to protect it
from vandals. A resident gar-
dener with his rent free as part of
salary could be secured at a nomi-
nal cost and a good caretaker thus
secured. Aiderman A. F. Beck-
mann sprung a new phase of the
question when he told the aider-
man that the city had no right to
lease any place for a beer stand and
that it was in bad taste. A few
months ago they refused a poor
fellow the privilege of a little 2x4
news stand in a corner of St.
Mary’s bridge.
ALBERT AND THE RIVER.
In the matter of the old river
line of a former city administra-
tion in connection with the Gross
property on Navarro street Aider-
man A. F. Beckmann Monday
showed up one of the mistakes of
a previous administration. He al-
so brought forth some ancient his-
tory about himself in his boyhood
days. Albert was such a lover of
nature that he was on the river or
in the river every day and his love
of nature and contempt of the arti-
ficial in life caused policemen to
chase him when he appeared on
the river bank near where the
Navarro street bridge now stands
clad only in nature’s garb.
SONGS OF THE POLITICIANS.
“Where Did You Get That Hat?”
—Benjamin Harrison.
“Mary Had a Little Lamb.”—
Judge Noonan.
“Papa’s Pants Fit Willie Now.”
—W. A. Wurzbach.
“Daisy Bell.”—Hon. Gus. Hous-
ton.
“There’s no Place Like Home.”—
Hon. Tom. Paschal.
“Heart Bowed Down.”—Captain
McCall.
“The Bowery.”—Joe Cooley.
“I’m a Candidate for Aiderman.”
—Buck Hice.
“Thore’s a Dear Old Home in
Ireland.”—Johnny Stevens.
“Old Black Joe.”—Collector Cas-
siano.
“Die Wacht am Rhein.”—Dr.
Lindner.
“He Never Cared to Wander from
His Own Fireside.”—Thad Smith.
“Mammy’s Little Alabama
Coon.”—Jim Davis.
“I’m a Dude Dandy Dude.”—R.
1. Blair.
“I’m the Dandy Copper of the
Broadway Squad.”—Officer O’Day.
“The Man Who Broke the Bank
at Monte Carlo.”—Nat Lewis.
“I’d seventeen dollars in my in-
side pocket.”—Reagan Houston.
• “When I was young and charm-
ing.”—Anton Adam.
“It couldn’t occur in New Y’ork.”
—Joe George.
“We have all been there before.”
—Bryan Callaghan.
“Marguerite”—All of the boys.
HOW TO DIVIDE IT.
A good plan to settle the quarrel
about distribution of the Street
Commissioner’s force in the dif-
ferent wards would be for a
committee to be appointed to
measure off a certain portion
of each ward in which street
work should be done. Divide
this work equally and not order
more until this is finished. For
years there has been no system in
this matter and the most work is
generally done in the heaviest vot-
ing wards.
THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.
Fort Worth Mail: “The Demo-
crats of Texas who during the
present campaign after the plat-
form of the party has been adopted
are howling the free silver howl at
a 16 to 1 ratio all over the state
are like those old Confederates
who after the war continued to
yell for Jeff Davis and the South-
ern confederacy or like the old
Wig in Kentucky who is still vot-
ing for Henry Clay for President.
Waco Day-Globe-News: “Gov-
ernor Hogg will soon retire to.pri-
vatelife for a brief period but the
people will not let him long re-
main there. He is a man of won-
derful power: the people have
faith in his ability and willingness
to battle for the principles in gov-
ernment which means the greatest
good to the greasest number and
will soon call him from his retire-
ment to serve them in some high
and responsible station.”
Laredo News: “If it is great
and honorable to be independent
what is the use of party organiza-
tion? Let’s all burst up and each
mau go it for himself the devil
take the hindmost.”
“The harp that once sounded
through Tara’s hall is not in it
with the political music that es-
capes from modern banquet halls
when the vote crop nears the har-
vesting time.”
“Teaching the young idea howto
shoot was given by exam pie recent-
ly in Texarkana when two profes-
sors engaged in a deadly duel.”
“For a man who was about to be
read out of his party a short time
ago Senator Hill seems to be doing
well in controlling the party ma-
chinery.”
Jefferson Jimplecute: “The fel-
low who is looking for trouble is
all right; it is the fellow whom it
has overtaken that deservos sym-
pathy.”
“Every honest man favors hon-
est money put the trouble comes
in when an attempt is made to
agree upon the proper definition of
‘honest’ when applied to money.”
