now be in order for it to double its
tOady attentions to the Mayor and the
city administration generally.
Ar first blush" it would appear more
consistent for the City Attorney 10 put
down a sidewalk in front of his house on
Acequia street, than to prosecute
others for not complying with the or
dinance. He should recOllect that Eek
ample is stronger than preccpt."
TEE City Council of Waco almost with
out word OF warning, has ordered an
election for the issue of bonds for the
building of water-works and putting
down sewers. The question has hardly
been mentioned by the press of the city,
and no considerable complaints have
been made against the private water
works company. But the Council was
well aware that sewers were out Of the
question without the city owning the
water-wOrks with which to flush them,
as it would be too expensive to pay the
rates charged by private companies.
Had San Antonio City Council with
half the grit displayed by the Waco
Council the water-wOrks would have
been in the hands of the city long ago.
NEARLY every one of the COrrespon-
dents who write on the sewer question
advert to the fact that the city could
build system Of water works for the
purpose of flushing the streets and sew
ers, and for "other purposes" This is
ing at for some time. If the city can
build works for flushing purposes, it can
for general purposes. II it has the
power to do one thing, it can do the
other. The correspondents also realize
that no special fayOrs will be given the
city in the event sewers are built by
the Breckenridge monopoly, and it
is matter worthy of record,
that of the number Of correspondents,
and some aldermen, this idea has been
advanced, that the city could put up
some sort of cheap works for flushing
purposes. But of course the city will
do nothing of the kind, and the LIGHT
simply mentions the matter to show
that the people are more in favor of the
city establishing and owning water
works, than they are to vote sewers,
whether there is sewer farm or
whether the river is made an open sewer. |

The expenses Of the election for the
bonds for the sewers will be wilful
extravaganza. Any one that has any
discretion should know that the PROPOSE
ton will be defeated, and worse than
before. The promoters should be made

During the past few months, and now that
the usual time for holding the primary elect
ion draws near, considerable discussion pro
and con has been indulged in on the question
of Primary and Delegate modes of making
nominations. Naturally the discussion was
carried into the meeting held by the Central
Committee on Saturday last, which culmin-
ated in the committee, by unanimous vote,
passing resolution to bring the subject be-
fore the Democratic voters of the county this
spring, with view of again, getting an ex-
preston from the Democrats upon the Ques-
ton. The primary tickets therefor will have
upon them this spring the words Primary
SYSTEM" and the voters can write "No" or
eyes" after them as is their inclination;
those voting "No" to count against the pri-
mary system and those voting eyes, to
count in favor of the old delegate system.
We do not intend to argue the question at
this time. Both systems have their faults,
but there is no danger of the Democratic
party going to the dogs with either system
in vogue, SO long as its upholders look to
honesty and capability as requisites in their
candidates,

~ Merchants will do well to remember
that after june Sd next, the giving away of
articles by lottery will be illegal, and liable
to punishment by fine of not over 500 or
years imprisonment in the penitentiary,
or both. This scheme which has been so
generally worked over the State during the
last few years, is only an evasion of the law
against lotteries, and has all the obiectiona-
BILE features. Many merchants went into the
scheme only because compelled to by COM
petitors, and will be glad it is entirely shut
of, with its demorolizing tendencies.

w Now comes Mr.. Sherman with so
called compromise silver bill. He proposes
to stop the coinage of the silver dollar and to
buy silver to the amount of two to four mil
lions per month and to issue silver certificates
for it, which certificates "shall be receivable
by the Government for all payments due it. !"
He omits to add, however, that "these certi-
ficates shall be legal tender" by the Gov
ernment for payments to bondholders and
other creditors. Herein lies the fraud in
Mr.. Sherman's bill. It ought not to pass,
and it will not pass. Mr.. Sherman, as well
as every other intelligent man, knows that
the bonds are payable "in coin." The coin
of our Government is silver and gold. Now
get silver out of the way, as Mr.. Sherman
proposes, and you have just as nice an ar
rangement as the bondholder could wish.-

He Died Poor.

Could there be better epitaph engraved on
the tomb of General Hancock? Itindicates
that he was what Pope calls the noblest work
of God-an honest man! Always holding a
lucrative position in the army, and for the
last twenty years receiving the pay of a Major
General, his salary has been as great as that
of any man in public life. Democratic and
economical in his style of living, generous
and charitable, his expenses have not been
any greater than that necessitated by any
prominent public position, and having no
fortune to commence life on, how could he,
as an honest man, die otherwise than poor.
Contrast his life and success with that of
other men who, no better blest with fortune,
entered public life, civil or military, at the
same time, receiving no greater compensation
than that which he did-the Sherman family,
for instance-who count their wealth by mil
lions, and we have chapter in the biography
of Hancock which is the ,proudest legacy he
could possibly leave to his posterity or to his
country.
"He died poor!'' can also be written on the
monument of Thomas Hendricks. Since
early manhood he was in public life-receiv-
ing salaries as large as those attached to any
public position, and in addition ever COM
manding lucrative law practice. Also
economical and simple in life and living, he
leaves in worldly wealth less than $4,000.
Contrast this with the career of James G..
Blain, who entered life poorer than Hem
bricks, held positions no more lucrative,
erected palaces for dwelling places, lived in
extravagant and luxurious style, yet measures
his wealth by millions. What must be the
inevitable conclusion?
Is it not sad commentary upon hepublic
service of American Through great corpo-
rations invested with monopolistic franchis-
es, acquired through the bribery and cor
ruption of those in public trust, the Wander
bilts and Jay Goulds have become the con-
trolling power in American politics, and our
public officers have become millionairs-the
United States Senate being at present filed
mainly with money bags, while honest worth
is retired to private life: Mediocre ability is
promoted to high places, enriched and, as Il Q
world goes, honored,. while men like Thur
man, Edmunds, Hendricks and Mcdonald,
who, having the courage of conviction, and
who, true to their trusts, battled monopoly
and stood for the rights of the people, are
pushed aside to die in poverty. Let us hope
that day of better men and better times is
