| there from my enemies who have been seek
| ing to have me removed.
R.-How about the rumor going the rounds
of the press connecting your name with the
postoffice inspectorship?
M.-You can emphatically deny any such
rumor or assertion, as under no circumstances
would | accept the position were it offered 10
me. Moreover, Judge Foster has created too
good a record as an efficient officer Tor the de
partment to wish to change him from his posi-
ton. You may say. for me, that there is no
federal position in the broad state Of Texas
which have any ambition to hold except the
San Antonio postmastership, and only as a
matter of principle, as have been relentless
ly prosecuted while in the discharge OF the
duties Of the Office.
AS to Mr.. Manning's opinion of Newcomb
it matters very little, Mr.. Manning says that
"there is no federal position in the broad state
of Texas which he would hold, except the San
Antonio postmastership," and that he only
holds that position ''as matter OF principle
Well, we must express our admiration for
Manning's pluck in trying to hold on to po-
sition in the face of the universal sentiment OF
our community that he is not wanted. He is
not wanted by the republicans, and there is
large section of our democratic fellow-citizenS
that are tired of Mr.. Manning-for man to
hold an office under these circumstances we
fail to discover the principle.
He belongs to class Of federal office hold
ers, impotted and foisted upon US that have
caused more dissatisfaction and trouble than
anything else.
His Continuance in Office is an insult to
every intelligent, respectable republican in
our city, and the time has come when this
quartering of stranger upon a community,
when there are hundreds of men as capable,
ard certainly more deserving, will bring the
government into merited contempt. There
has been too much of this in Texas, and even
if there was not single charge against Man
ming, and that his conduct and life in our
midst had been upright and praiseworthy, yet
he should be retired out of respect to the in
telligence and patriotism of so large a COM
munity as ours-certainly capable of furnish
ing proper officers to serve the government
without calling upon other states.
1t is high time Texas was relieved OF the
incubus of imported office-holders, and this is
the fight Newcomb has made that Manning
complains Of Since Mr.. Manning is to be
and since he has courted investi-
ton, the special agent should open shop to the
general complaints of the community.

At 10 o'clock the opera is over.
Then where, think you, a throng OF
people 20 and discuss TITO the beer
keller where Wagner himself used to
drink beer. There we went after the
private representation, at II O'Clock at
night, to talk it over with those who
had been fortunate holders of patron
ats tickets. 1t was a curious ming.
ling Of beer and poetry. The good
natured, dark-complexioned madchen,
who has quite a witchlike air, who
serves the beer. has com to know no
other name than "Kundry, and Wag.
ner himself should hear the shouts
for "Kundry'' that ring through the
cellar after the performance.

our skirts closely about Us, inclined

don, and Jos Rubenstein and Nieman
Fuchs, and a score oil other artists. !
left there at midnight. Prince Lich-
tenstein was there, and a number Of
titled ladies sat cozily chatting at a
deal table. Lively were the discus
sions as to the merits Of the opera.
Enthusiastic youths went to the
