POLITICAL CANDIDATES.

Why a Prominent Politician was De-
feated at the Last City Election.
Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
Who should run for Office Is a question
that should be considered by the candi-
date as well rs the man who votes for
him.
II we are to Judge from the number of
candidates who sought the street COM
missioaership at the last election. we
might as well prepare to accommodate a
large number ut the fall election. In
fact 1t might be policy to create a few
more offices to meet the demand.
At each election there Ia an increase
of applicants, many who are popular,
among few. imagine that all that is
required is a four line announcement in
the papers to stamp him a politician.
There is a number of this class that
never stops to inquire into the office he
seek, nor does he question his abilities
to fulfill the same. Yet he announces
his intention Of running, depending on
his popularity and the Influence of his
friends, which is indeed a powerful sup
port; but the question arises, are they
doing justice to themselves or their
neighbOrs in selecting such a man?
The office seeker should bear in mind
that the moment he announces TO run
that he is seeking 4 favor from every
man in the community. Now, while he
may he well posted In business way 10
in the office. will the drawback TO hi;
social qualities stand In his way? they
will il they are in the majority rest
| assured.
What is his social standing? Is biz
conduct amsng his associates of gen
| tlemanly nature? Ia he n man Of hii
word? IL his transactions with his fel
| bowman OF an honorable character, ant
| last, but the most Important, does h,
| liquidate his justly contracted debts?
This Is rot too much to expect of tn,
man who is seeking public trust from
the people. 1t is only part of the quail
| tiles required to stamp him deserving o
the peoples favor. There is plenty o
snch material here, and a goOdly suppl,
| OF that class who are afraid of work an,
thrust themselves on the public for sup
port.
| Now, Mr.. ofiiGe-seeker, study the ma
ture of the Office you seek and then over
haul your abilities, business and socia
bility, and il you find that you are pei
feet, announce.
Remember that at the last election
one who belonged TO the same party Q
his opponent, and he was the right ma
tOO-but he was defeated. Why. be
cause he owed so many little bills, i
fact nearly every voter held clair
against him this defeat was surpris
to him, and he discovered when it wa
too late that the little debts did 1t.

Who Should Do Itp

In ploughing Camden street, the water
pipes are laid bare on the surface, and
in one case the pipe was severed by the
plough. The Water-works company
says the owner Of the premises is liable
for the cost of relaying of the pipe
and the mending Of the break, but the
owner holds that 1t is the duty of the
water-works TO lay the service, and TO
keep their pipes in proper repair SO
long as he pays for the water. This
matter Is likely to lead to some litiga-
ton. ."|.

( A Traveller from Fredericksburg yes
terday reported that some merchants
there are incensed at the action of some
San Antonio firms in respect to the
northwestern road, and have held II
meeting which decided that they would
trade no more with those firms. One Of
our largest grocery houses comes in for

means Of verifying it, there are reasons
to believe that the statement is true.

An uncommon sight meets the eye
at this season of the year, as one
looks abroad over our fertile fields.
Instead of waving grain, and the gold
en- prospects of abundant harvests one
is greeted with blight and death. The
chintz bugs and Hessian flies have
brought unprecedented destruction to
the wheat crop. Many of the fields
look as if fire had gone over them,
crinkling the, wheat and soaring it.,
without consuming it. The present
prospects indicate that much of the
acreage sown will not be harvested at
all. and much that will be harvested
will not more than pay for the work
of garnering. 1t is rather of a doleful
outlook for our farmers, and as for
that, for business men generally.
