A YEAR AGO, when Mr.. Cleveland was elect
ed, the New York mugwumps made great
cackling, and said I'VE did it with our little
ballots" This year they proposed to show
their power by voting for Mr.. Davenport,
the republican nominee for governor. But
Mr.. Davenport was defeated by something
like 10000 votes. The strength of the mug
wumps has been largely over-rated-in their
own estimation.

APPEARANCES indicate that Riel, the Cana

neighbors do not seem to understand how to
make treason odious. They ought to follow
the example of this country, and punish Mr..
Riel as the United States punished its great
rebel and arch traitor, the infamous Jefferson
Davis

Ed. FREE PRESS Notwithstanding the
very Indictment weather, the Christmas tree
at Way-side was success. can not say
there was anything transcendent about the
tree but the interest manifesto and the
many valuable books awarded the children
for perfect lessons, will no doubt excite
much more interest in the Sunday school.
And must say too, that the presents were
by no means inferior articles, but real nice,
and some of them valuable. 1t is due to the
committee appointed to dress the tree, Mrs.
J. R. Burleson, Mrs. Oscar Owen, Mrs. w.
NJ. Wyatt ct ais; TO say that the presents
were shown to advantage and everything
neatly, if not srtistically arranged II ad-
dition to the presents given by parents and
friends and the books awarded for perfect
lessons. present was given by the superin-
tendent TO each scholar enrolled in the
Sunday school.
waysids Sunday school was organized
last spring. The superintendent and teach
ers have lsbored under MANY disadvantages,
but owing to the regular attendance and
unremitting efforts of their efficient Super
intendent, Mr.. Chas. Montgomery, assis-
sisted by Mr.. J. Il. Burleson and others, has
at last surmounted every obstacle, triumph
ed ooer evry opposition and is now q credit

The only Especial favor" our omission Of
apaper last week was to us, was that Il
enabled us to visit San Antonio and Austin,
which otherwise We could not have done.
We found the former city comfortable, VI
but not so busting as of yore. An interesting
festival of the Firemen Of the city came of
the night of our arrival, but We failed to
attend.
The so called Fashion Theatre" success
sor to the Vaudeville, Is complsted and run
ming. Its location is ON the ''off" side Of
Military or Market plaza, out of the ordinary
way of ladies and gentlemen, and so ia
much less Objectionable than was that Of
the Vaudeville. Billy Sims is the business
manager, but it is owned by other parties.
The building is quite nice one.
We passed through the new Kampmann
building which is believed to be second to
mono other in the State. Bell & Bros the
popular Watchmakers and Jewellers now
have quarters in this building, and their
store is fine one. We always find them
very courteous and gentlemanly. There
are good many fine rooms up stairs in this
building as yet uuoccupied.
We stopped again at the st. Leonard. It
continues to improve on acquaintance. DR..
Lounsbery and This good wife. and DR..
Trexler, the clerk, make you feel at home,
and in fact you have every desirable home
comfort.
Austin we found duller than San Antonio
1t had just been '.enlivened''b by a consider
able fire. which burned up the establishment
of B. Melasky.
We found our friends Of the Carrollton
House prosperous and comfortable, and
were glad to see the proprietor, DR.. Harm,
in somewhat improved health.
