Mr.. Ouirk's Views.

Mr.. Quirk is a candidate for street commits
sOner and has some very practical views of the
duties of the position to which he aspires. He
considers the Office 0f street commissioner of
the greatest Importance; that he should be alb
soute master of the street work and the engi-
ncerS work under him he would distribute
working gangs in each ward and give all
natiOnalites chance. Mr.. Quirk had great eX-
perience in New York city and claims to be a
master of the detail of public improvements
He considers it feasible to improve our squares
and make them ornaments instead of cyeSOres.
In fact, we like Mr.. Quirk'S views.

" SHE'S STILL DROPPING"
Losses OccasiOned by Decline in tho
Price of Cotton.
Some of the Recent Operations of San
Antonio Bulls and Bears.

The decline in the price of cotton the last five
months has Occasioned large losses to many
San Antonio merchants. 1t is rumOred that
one firm, Messrs. LaSsner l. Mandelbuum have
lost some SI5,OUU. A ear ago cotton was worth
T. cents. Last June the value was as great as
IL cen tS and rumOrs of scant crops led buyers
to believe that the price would be still higher
Everybody became bull, but the' bottom was
soon knocked out of the market and the valu-
ations began to tiuctuate. Some of the bulls
unlOaded and Il few turned into bears, but Il
majority still chung to the belief that King
Cotton would, by some means, assist them out
of the financial dilemma into which he had
taken them.
These bulls now walk on change, glance
anXiOllsly at the backbOardS on which the
closing prices are marked, whistle or utter All
ejaculation expressive of establishment, and
hastily stride from the room. Those who
have unlOaded gaze at the figures and remark
that they guess she'll drop another point
then light cigar and talk about their pros
poets. The bears invariably hand the secretary
Il cigar and give him fathcrly advice. They re-
view their history from their bOyhOOd days to
the present time and then conclude with u
statement something like ''Shes a-droppin
two to morrow, ell. old boy digging some ac-
4laintance in the ribs and chuckling.

clerk or II broken merchant who will think of
Sln'h Il small deal. Most Of the operators handl,

who bought 2O,UOO not long ago now estimates
the loss ut $4,000. He was not specializing Oh

that the market will take a turn.

RENIENYI'S TERROR.
The Violin Virtuoso Thinks He is Going to
be Lynched.

While Remenyi was caressing his violin on
the stage at Austin night before last he felt
breeze coming through an open door. He as
sumed tragic attitude and pointed his bow at
the door 1t was closed. Then young man
cOughed.
Put that man out" shouted Remenyi"
stampin. his feet.
The man arose and quilted the hall.
Soon afterwards there was an alarm of fire.
Remenyi heard the noise and conceived the idea
that the young man referred to had organized
Il mob for the purpose of lynching him. His
terror was pitiful He grOvcled in the wings
of the stage, moaning and praying and begging
that he be allowed an opportunity to ask the
young mans pardon. II was some time be-
fore he was convinced that his life was not in
danger.

The Meeting Saturday Night.

The meeting at Schools hall on tomorrow
evening will be an important one and should
be well attended. In fact every good citizen
who values the rcputc of the city should be
there to aid in bringing out an opposition cam
ddate to the present thrd-termer. Our city
government Is so constructed that there can
be no real change unless the head is changed,
us the old board practically remains in Office.
The better sentiment of the community is
against the present administration.

The Texas and ST. Louis Narrow-Gauge
will not be opened until November 18th. The
first of the month the time previously set.
A patent has Just been taken out in Ger
many for an engine, the piston of which is
driven backward and forward by small
charges of gunpowder, supplied by an auto
matte arrangement. The ignition is effected
by the motion of the piston, which draws in
lame of gas or spirit, the access being reg
ulated by side valves, which also open out
lets for the escape Of the gases of combuE-
tion.
The death OF Mr.. Whitney, president Of
the Houston and Texas Central road, ia like.
ly TO cause an important change in the poll
cy Of the company. Ii is understood that
Mr. Whitney was opposed to the aale of the
land grants at the figures bid by the English
Syndicate, believing that their value would
be much increased within a few years
Another interest in the management advo-
Gated the sale Of the lsnds, the amount
bid would free the company from bonded ill.,
debtedness. Representatives OF the syndicate
are said to be in Texas, making thorough
inspection Of the property. Mr.Whitney was
also one of the i've trustees OF the Morgan
estate, which owns 10000 shares of Houston
and Texas Central stock. Mr.. Whitney and
two of his colleagues have refused to sell this
stock when offers have been made for IL. 1t
is intimated that Mr.. Gould will again en-
deavor to- gain control OF the road, as 1t 10
formidable competitor with the Texas Pacific.
The New York Indicator indorses the Times
of the same city 10 its prediction OF serious
consequences resulting from the building of
roads under the construction company de-
vice, and the loading down of the properties
created with fixed charges out Of all proper
tion to the capital Invested 10 them. while
the evidences of Indebtedness created are
made the Instruments of reckless and often
unscru pulous speculation. The Indicator con-
tinues: "Under the most favorable circum-
stances, and with The most judicious hus-
banding of money, the building of railroads
with the celebrity aud to the extent to which
il is carried on in the United States ia at
tended with the danger OF overreaching cap
ital by ia too rapid change from an availa-
BILE TO fixed condition. But when the de-

sorted to, the danger becomes positive alarm

Railways on the Defensive.

The Chicago Tribune thinks there are evil
deuces of a combination OF railway Interests
throughout the United States for "aggres-
sive legislation during the coming winter,
having for its pnrpoas the abolition OF all
State laws imposing restrictions anu limita-
tious upon railroad tariffs and charges, and
that this movement will be made conspicu-
ouslv in Iiliuois.v To which the New York
Indicator replies: $50 far as action toward
the accomplishment OF this end may be CON-
templated by the railroad companies OF Illi-
noiz, the Tribune nay be we'll informed, but
when it spezks for the United States in the
aggregate, we Suspect our contemporary Is
led into hyperbole oy too active lmagIna'
ton. II combined onslaught is to be made

this section Of the Union Hpon their respect
i've legislatures during the coming win-
Ter, they have succeeded very eff .ctu-
ally in concealing their lntentIons
from public observation. There is no
doubt that the railways will be pre-
pared to meet the Illy-digested radical
propositions OF so-called anti-monopolists for
legislation during the coming or future ses-
stons. This attitude they are forced to as

upon the corporations every privilege they
