The CITY council have again utterly
ignored the demand Of the central BUSH
ness portions Of the city for the improve
ments so much needed, and our plazas
with Commerce and Houston streets are
to remain in their present disgraceful
condition another year. Not one word is
said about South Alamo street, which is
in Il really dangerous condition, and
along which there is as much travel as
on any other street in the city. Some
one will be seriously hurt on that street
yet, and the city will have bill to foot
that will aggregate more than the cost
Of the proper paving of the street along
its most dangerous part, from Alamo
plaza to South street. The original
$1,000 appropriated to the plazas, and
with which it was hoped a beginning
would have been made that would have
necessltated the appropriation Of de-
cent amount for their improvement, has
been withdrawn and the whole matter
relegated to the tender mereies OF the
next council, which may the Lord grant,
will establish a board Of public works
for the whole city, and not pull and haul
the appropriations TO satisfy ward jeal-
Ousies irrespective Of the pressing needs
Of the center of the city. 1t is the busi-
ness Of San Antonio that keeps up the
city finances, and yet there Is less atten-
tiOn paid to the plazas upon which the
bulk Of our trading is done, than upon
those outlying roads which acoommo-
date no one, but serve to enhance the
value of certain properties.

The Democratic campaign book, pre-
pared under the auspices of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, is now in
the hands of the printer, and will soon
be ready for distritLtion. The commit
tee has not resorted to the Republican
methods of levying assessments upon
officeholderS for their campaign eXpenS.
es, nor has any ofliceholder III the Unit
ed States been requested to contribute
a cent. Such contributions have in no
case been received. The book will con-
tain 4 spicy review of the past admins
tratlon of the Government under Re-
publican rule, and will discuss num-
Der of subjects of contemporaneous I'M
portance. 1t will contain an exhaust
i've history of former abuses of the pen
sion office and of the prostitution to
party ends of this bureau, which was
organized for the diSpenSation Cf the
peoples money to the peoples soldiery.
1t will contain a discussion of the
squandering of the public domain by
the Republican party, and of the recent
movements inaugurated by Democrats
to restore it to the original owners, the
people. It will discuss the Civil Ser
vice as abused heretofore and as admin
istered by President Cleveland. 1t will
contain valuable matter touching the
administration Of the Land Office and
the conduct of the Indian affairs. 1t
will he valuable in the discussion Of
labor problems, containing a chapter
on that subject and on the recent legis-
lation affecting it. 1t will discuss past
delinquencies of responsible officers and
agents of the Government, and indicate
the correction of abuses in that line.
1t will contain summary of the ac-
tion of the last Congress touching mat
ters Of Importance to the people, and
make fair exhibit of the results ac-
complished. 1t will give history of
the war on the President by the Senate
and the surrender by that body Of the
false issue which it had raised for polit-
ical ends. In short, the book will be a
fair and truthful presentation of pOllti-
cal matters. The committee is not in
possession of funds to enable it to dis
tribute the book gratuitously. In order
that the yolsme may be thoroughly dis
tributed the committee has determined
to send it prepaid by mail to any person
who will make application therefor and

Attacked by q Maniac.

FREEPoRT, Ill.,, Aug. 27.-Charles
Lashelle, who is confined in the Carroll
County Jail at Mt. Carroll, for the
murder of Patrick Reddington, night
watchman at Shannon, few months
ago, was ferociously attacked yesterday
by an insane man named Francis +.
Mayer, and nearly killed. The two
men were occupying the same cell in
the Jail, but Mayer's hands had been
bound by iron shackles, which in some
manner he slipped. Just before the
attack Mayer was reading the Bible.
He suddenly stopped before Lashelle,
eXcIaiming "You are murderer
and must die, "struck him with Il club,
telling him to the floor, and followed
the flrs5 up with several more blows.
Lashelle's skull was fractured and sew
eral of his ibis and one arm were bro
ken. The physicians say that his case
is critical, with the chances against re-
covery. He was to have been tried for
the Reddington murder at the coming
term.
