A Stumper for the Times. /"

Editor San Antonio Light
Ny attention has been called to an ar
ticle in Mondays issue OF the Times, in
which the editor devotes the most of his
editorial squibs-column to the result Of
the aldermsnic election in the Fourth
Ward generally, and towards Mr.. Oscar
Bergstrom, particularly intimating that
Alderman Psuly twas induced to re-
sign" In consequence Of "a very strong
promise" on Bergstrom's part that the
"hsld-oyer aldermen" would be sus-
tanned by reelection IL they would rec
ogniZe the force of his opinion and re-
sign. Mr.. Pauly resigned from motives
which no one will question, unless it be
the Times organ-grinder; and not be-
cause OF any promise or assurance from
any one that his reelection would be a
certain result of his action in resigning.
The question as to the status of the
"hold-over" aldermen is still In a nut
SHELF; and was not in issue so far as the
supporters of Mr.. Louis Bergstrom were
concerned, and the result Of the election
was entirely due to local influences and
the personal popularity OF our respec-
tive candidates; nor was the election Of
Mr.. BergNrom u vindication Of the other
"hold-oyer aldermen" or the Mayors
policy In any particular. 1t convinces
me Of one thing however, and that is,
that it twill be cold day" In August
when the facetious organist ofthe Times
fails to find food for editorial mirth, even
at funeral where he was neither
mourner, pall-bearer nor lackey.

THE FLOODED DISTRICTS,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April l.-Specials
to the Age from the river towns of North
Alabama show that the effects of the
freshet are worse even than telegrsphed
yesterday. Gadsden reports Coosaw
river at its highest mark and still rising,
with alarming reports from above. All
railroad bridges on the branch road be-
tween Alfalfa and Gadsden are swept
away and a number of washOuts on the
Alabama and Great Southern railway
are reported on both sides of Alfalfa.
The mill and lumber interests at Gads-
den sustained immense damage. No
calculation can yet be made as to the
amount OF damage done to the farming
interests. to railways and other high
ways. From every place with tele-
graphic facilities come the same reports
Of no trains and no mails since Monday
night. Regular trains on the roads CEN
tering here have been discontinued until
further orders, and no work Is being
done by the compaEy's employees except
in repairs and construction. Rumors
reached here of loss of life in Coosaw
river valley.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, April.-Heavy
rains for the last three hours raised the
Kanawha and Elk rivers 3S feet and they
are still rising. Only a few railroad
trains are running, and, at o O'Clock,
matters look gloomy, as at least one
half of the city is under water, and many
of the buildings occupied by the poor
people are submerged. New river is re-

A Nevada Borax Field.

productive borax field on the Pacific
coast. Its deposits cover ten square
miles OF surface, and it is said to include
chemically pure common salt, borax in
three forms, sulphate of soda anu car
Donate of soda. The basin of Nevada,
in which 1t is situated, is covered in
many parts with dry, effervescent salts,
washed in course Of ages from the soda

of yellow lava which cover the country
for miles. The waters of the lakes are

Our Moon.

A widespread legend of great an
tiquity informs us that the moon is in
habited by man with a bundle of
sticks on his back, who has been exiled
thither for many centuries, and is so far
off that he is beyond the reach of death.
This tradition. which has given rise to
SO many superstitions, is still preserved,
under various forms, in most countries,
but it has not been decided who the
culprit originally was and how he came
to be imprisoned. Dante calls him Cain;
Chaucer assigns his exile as a punish
ment for theft, and gives him a thorn
bush to carry, while Shakespeare loads
him with thorns, but by way Of compen-
sation gives him dog for a companion.

NOT YET STRUCK OUT.

ST.. LOeIs, April 1.-The strike has
again assumed serious aspect, and
settlement seems as far in the future as
ever, as the following address, issued
thss afternoon by order of the Executive
Board of District Assemblies 10l, so and
II, will show.
To the Public:
As showing the sincerity of the rail-
road managers In their treatment of the
Knights of Labor, we respectfully state
that, pursuant to an order of the General
Executive Board, we this day sent COM
mittees to the managers of the several
railroads, offering to return to work. la
no instance would they be received or
treated with, each official in turn refus-
ing them a hearing, or evading them
with specious subteriuges or indirect an
swers, and refusing them employment.
Mr.. Hoxie agreed to receive a commit
tee of employees to adjust any grievances
that may exist. He refuses, personally
and through his subordinates, to recog-
nize us as employees, and refuses to re-
ceive any but such as he calls employees.
In short, after himself and Gould had
conveyed the impression to the world
that they are willing to settle, they then
refused to settle.
Now, we appeal to a candid, suffering
public, on whom Is falling all the weight
of this great conflict, If we have not been
deceived enough. How much is long
suffering labor expected to bear? This
great strike never would have been had
Hoxie condescended months ago to hear
our complaints. We do not claim to be
more than human. 1t should not be ex-
pected Of us to be more than human. In
this country, position makes no man
king nor slave, and an imperlous refusal
on the part OF one citizen to confer with
another citizen with whom he may have
business connections, when each refusal

Charles b. Waite has been arrested. An

MES that Ex-Alderman Waite was ar
rested, nor would he admit that war
rant was issued for him.
LATER-The District Attorney refused
reporters admission TO Waite. 1t is a
fact that Waite was met at the depot by
Police Inspector Byrnes and taken at
once to Martins office, where long
conference was held. Waite is now
clOseted with Byrnes, and Ii is said he
is making detailed confession.
