intention OF the company to put on the
market, not later than May l, 1887, as
good, " not better article. OF home
brewed beer than has ever been offered
In this city or vicinity. The new brew
cry will have an immense advantage
over every other In he matter Of loca-
tiOn alone. Situated so near the heart
OF the city, the saving In hauling alone
will be an Immense item. There are
more saloons within n radius Of a quar-
ter OF n mile of this brewing house than
In all the rest OF the city combined. 1t
receives Its water direct from the pipes
Of the waterworks company and soloses
nothing by not being situated out Of
town to get nearer the head Of the river.
The new building will be constructed by
home wOrk.nen under the immediate
supervision Of the officers Of the COM
pany, who know Just what they want
and are determined to have that and
nothing else. Having already proved to
their own satisfaction the quality and
serviceableness OF Texas made maohin-
cry, they will not go away from home
for anything that can possibly be pro-
cured here, thus giving to home indus
tries the preference to all others and de-
mOnstrating In every way that they are
not merely n Home Industry on Paper"
but a genuine unauthorized home H.
dustry on the strictest business prin-
ciples. The new brewery will have n
capacity OF 200 kegs n day and prices
will be such Ms to fully demonstrate the
truth of the old adage-"C0mpetit Is
the life OF trade" As this brewery has
the advantage OF situation, an already
extensive business acquaintance with
the beer sellers of the city. have already
large business In their present line,
and its officers are thoroughly known as
among the most wide awake and ener-
getic OF our citiZens-their new enter
prise will open under most favorable
auspices. AS the LIGHT has ad-
vocated the planting OF home enterpri-
SEES In San Antonio, particularly those
that are certain to employ II considera-
BILE number OF persons in conducting its
business, the LIGHT cordially welcomes
this new brewing house to home
among San Antonio's creative Indus
tries. The character Of those gentlemen
who form the company Ia well known In
our business circles. Their faces are
familiar and their reliability fully estab-
lished. As they have won for them
selves an enviable name In the past, as a
genuine home Industry In fict as well
as In name they will In the future de-
mOnstrate that there is no other institu-
tiOn In San Antonio so fully deserving

must tell my tale in an old mans way.
Beginning first with the personal,
And went with the date. which Is rather far
The year that ended the Mexican war.
My hero aspired to little renown,
Had a grocery store, In a Texas town,
Sold coffee and sugar, and tea and rice
And made out profit extremely nice.
lie did not depart, for the battle field,
Had no admiration for sword or shield,
A native of Maine, he was you know,
And cool as the drifts of New England snow.
A Spanish gentleman lived In the place,
OF limited means, but unlimited race.
Who used TO remark among other things
That his vicns were full of the blood Of
kings
Spanish grandee of the Oden style
ChOck full of pOliteness and full of guile
With dagger and cloak and mustache com
And the tempting smell of the cigarette.
As the war drew TO its dreadful close
The peoples suspicious against him rose,
They put him In Jail rs u Spanish spy"
Condemned on the following morn TO die.
Now our grocery friend with observant eye,
Had watched events as they passed him by
With train OF wagons resolved TO go
To the very borders of Mexico.
On the wars account just over there
lie knew provisions were high and rare,
What a noble deed he might easily do.
Beside the turning penny or tw0i
He pondered the matter, long, deep and well.
He thought of the Don" In his prison cell,
Resolved to free him, because You know
That Spaniard could guide him toward
Mexico.
So he bought up the iailors, one bye one.
And when that business was nearly done,
They opened door or lifted a sash,
These little matters are dOne-by cash
So the Don came forth to the air once more
And he slept that night In the grocery store
But when the morning dawned bright and
The Spanish Hidalgo, OF where was he'll
A racket was made. as well it might
When twas known that lie had escaped that
night.
Each citizen sought on different trail
But all their search was of no avail.
The wagons were loaded, twas really sin
To see how the barrels were crowded In,
The merchant gazed with professional pride.
On the beautiful labels tackled outside.
Over miles and miles of the prairie brown,
When they made their halt at the sun set fair
A BARREL rose up In the evening air,
kegs,
What meant the sight of those human legs,
What meant that oder so faint and sweetp"
The legs were the DOn's-and the cgerette
Life brings us nanny terrible rub.
DiOgenes even "tOOk up with tub
But barrel was surely undignified,
And hardly the thing for pleasant ride
But the Don was glad in that awful strife,
To pocket his glory, and save his life,
And he took them straight as they could go,
To the very b0arders of Mexico.
When the merchants wares were rapidly
sold,
And his pockets were lined with Spanish
Here the Don remained, for the road was
rough,
One ride In a barrel was quite enough.

The latest development in our city atfairs-is

ably now go to the court. The questions involy-
ed are too important to be settled by eX parte
opinions, and if there is no law to prevent
ward clerk giving certificate to a man not
elected, but who is then sworn in by the May
or. the people want to know it. If this can be
done, and no remedy is to be had, a remedy
must be provided. Accepting the results of
fraud and force in this instance would estab-
lish precedent sure to cause trouble in the
future. The majority of the city government
do not propose to accept it. They have net
recognized the Alderman illegally seated, and
Monday night they seated the Alderman legal
ly elected from ward two. The capture of the
records by the Mayor was merely aughablc
part of the proceedings and did no harm to
one side or good to the other. Was it Gould
or Drummond that advised this performance:

The Labor Question.

The second (ApriD number of The Forum,
contains two noteworthy articles Oh the labor
question, now the question of the hour. Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, large employer of labor,
and a man of liberal views, discusses the prob
lem from the standpoint of the employer who
has the interests of his workmen at heart He
does not think cooperation feasible, at least in
this generation; and as to arbitration, would
Law it down as "A maxim that there is no excuse
for strike, or a lockout until arbitration of
differences has been offered by one party and
refused by the other" Mr.. Carnegie suggests
these conditions for promoting amicable rela-
tions between capital and labor: That com
pensation for labor be on sliding scale in pro-
portion to the prices received for products !;
that workmen be properly organized and the
best men put TO the front; that peaceful arb-
tration be in all cases resorted to for the settle
ment of differences which cannot be adjusted
by conference between employers and employ
ed: and that no interruption shall occur to the
operations of the establishment, since the de-
cision of the arbitrators Shall be made to take
effect from the date of reference.
''Shal an Eight Hour System be Adopted:"
by George Gunton. answers the question in the
affirmative. Mr.. Gunton uses identicallv the
same arguments those contained in COM
muncation to the Journal several weeks ago
by {. 5. Griffin, Esq, of Stockton. although of
course more elaborated. Mr.. Griffin contrib
utes another article on the labor question
which will be found on the first page. 1t is
worth reading, and if any one wishes to reply or
has something furtherto offer i'll the same drec-
ton we shall be glad to hear from Them

The Stone Wall Problem.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In my school
girl days such questions were solved in this way.
One end is built for 10 cents per rod and the other
for 81 % The ratio at to builds and the 9TH
CT q. At this ratio one would build 371a rods for
$50 and the other 62 rods for $50, and would
ceive Sl.331s per rod and so cents per rod. Now
if Mr. Ii. insists just 75c and 81 % per rod, he
must allowsthem to build double wall when they
meet-A21a rods by the side of BIS wall and b l-6
rods by the side of Az wall making 81, rods dou-
