THE BRAKEMEN.
The Situation and Prospects Lack Of
System and Unity.

A LIGHT reporter was sent to the sun
set Depot this morning TO ascertain the
situation In the brakemen's strike. 1t
was found that considerable dissatisfac-
tlon exists rs to the management of the
affair. There are II crews on the strike
between this city and Del Rio. with two
brskemen 10 crew, making % brake
men. This involves the stopping Of the
trains, and therefore Che lay-of Of II
conductors, ii engineers and IL firemen,
80 mon who have no interest whatever in
the matter. These men complain OF the
action Of the brakemen for not present.
ing their grievances at the time when
the brakemen at the east end were on a
strike and have the matter settled at the
same time, instead Of waiting till mat
tiers were settled there, and trains Or
dered TO move, and then striking and
again locking up business. There are
now. ii is said, some IS carloads OF time
perishsble freight lying in this city, and
probably more at Del Rio, awaiting the
result OF the conference. The strikers
appointed delegate to confer with
General Manager Hutchinson at New
Orleans. but not q word has been heard
from him since he left. Another
committee was appointed by the crews
lying in this city, to wait on Mr.. Van
Week, but nothing can be done till news
can be received from the delegate at
New Orleans. There are now three
crews lying here and eight at Del Rio.
AS TO the merits OF the strike, OF course
there are differences Of opinion, but one
thing is certain that the strikers in this
instance are not enjoying the usual SYM
pathy that is accorded to railroad men,
in view of the fact that on the Southern
Pacific Railroad air brakes are used on
all freight trains, while on other roads
the hand brakes are vet in use, and the
pay is about the same and in many
cases more. So far everything has been
conducted In an orderly manner, and
guards have been. placed on the idle
trains to prevent destruction of prop
erty. AS far as known the road has yet
made no attempt to replace the strikers.
The strike of these p brakemen between
San Antonio and Del Rio, enfOrces the
idlsness Of the entire crew, not only on
their division but on the entire line
from New Orleans to SaE Francisco, with
the exception of those on local freight,
and causes them to lose their time and
thousands OF dollars.

opoly, then there is no use TO make a
struggle, but simply to let our ship DRIFT
on until We strand. do not believe it.
If we cannot make streets until the sew
ers are laid, and we cannot put down
sewers until the water-works are con-
quered, why, let us quit. But II there
were no water-works and sewers were
decided as necessary would we wait for
some Freeman and LacOste to come
along and buIld the water-wOrks and a
Breckenridge to gobble them up, so we
could raise row with.him, or would we
go to work TO supply the works as part
of the sewerage scheme? A sewerage
system is useless without water, so
would be a railroad system without To-
ComOtiyes and rolling stock, but put
put down the rOad-bed, ties and iron
rails and the road is complete, the roll
ing stock is only incidental TO
Its operation and easily obtained.
II yoI had advised our people not to
invest In the Arkansas Pass Railroad un-
til all its engines and rolling stock had
been puI down on the ground in ad-
vance, your advice would be on par
with the suggestion not TO vote the sew
ers until the Water. works were cap
tured. Blunt.

An Explanation.

Editor San Antonio Light.
As the committee ia charge OF the
Moody and Sankey meetings have heard
numerous complaints on account Of
tickets being required for admission to
the services. we have been asked to ex-
plain that these meetings are not in
tended for "sll coners." 1t is called
christian convention" to distinguish
the services from such as are usually
called revival meetings." The object
Of Mr., Moody's three days visit is more
particularly to reach Christians con-
nected with churches in this city and in
this Southwestern part of the State, in
the hope that they may be stirred up to
more Jealous work themselves. Incl
dentally. OF course, but not specially,
Mr.. Moody's addresses will be applica-
BILE to the unconyerted. Hence, It will
be seen, that In order to avoid confusion
and prevent oyercrowding, admission
by ticket was deemed necessary. All, Of
course, are welcome, but those who are
anxious enough to go and take the
trouble to get tickets, shoulC be accom-
modated.

After the success of the machine in the
nomination of McGill, your Uncle Loren
Fletcher took new grip on the handles and
is manipulating county affairs. Apparently
he has Col Fred Hooker just where he wants

Aid. J. Bleteen is believed to fondly clasp

The grand total receipts at the Exposition
were s3s, 900. 1t is expected that next year
the total will reach SI25,000 with the ex-
Denses not above 1000, leaving a 20 per
cent. dividend.
Sam Hill remarks very significantly that it
''will be different this fall" as fall campaigns
are different from spring campaigns. The only
apparent reason why this might be true is
one which Samuel modestly omitted To men
ton. Last spring Sam Hill was in Europe.
This fall he is in Minneapolis.
Loren Fletcher shows greediness that is
certainly reprehensiole. He not only insisted
upon controlling the state convention, but he
won't even let the Republicans of the county
choose the county superintendent of schools.

TRIP TO TRE ARCTIC.
Prof. BradfOrd's word Painting of
the Northern Wonders.

the Northern " onderS.
A good audience gathered at the Church
of the Redeemer last night to hear the first
recital of Prof. William Bradford, the Arc
tic painter. Mr.. Bradford who painted
the collection at the Exposition which at
tracted such marked attention, is a New
York artist. who made a speciality Of the
land Of the midnight sun, having made
screen voyages at bis own expense, the out
lay being the modest sum of SIS, 900.
GIFTED with faculties of keen observation,
retentiYe memory and pleasant choice Of
language, he is able to describe in a most
Interesting way the wonders of the frozen
North. In addition he has valuable col
l,sction Of views from photographs taken by
Lieut.. Greeley, Commander SchIey, Sir
George Mares and others. which are shown
by largo Stereopticon, and add much to
the lecture.
Last nights recital was devoted to Mr..
BTadford'S personal experience on the
Panther, the vessel be fitted out 1t was
largely description of life and humanity in
the north, the neighborhood of Baffin's and
Mellville's bay being the general theater,
the Stereoptlcan views showing an almost
panoramic representation of the country
from st. Johns to the highest point Mr..
Bradford attained. 1t was wonderfully in
teresting, and his audience at times seemed
to fairly hang On his words. The second
recital, this evening, will be devoted to the
Greeley expedition, from the start to the
rescue, three years later. 1t will detail the
trip Of Lieut.. Lockwood and Sergt. Brain
erd to the highest point man ever reached
and their retreat over 500 miles of ice to
Cape Sabine, The pictures accompanying
the talk are exceptionally fine.

Just after q ticket had been placed in
nomination. The members sat about the
room Respondent and silent. Loren
Fletcher was manifestly discouraged. he
knew that something had to be done. and,
taking the feor, delivered himself of one OF
his characteristic speeches. He hrst
charged bis beloved cohorts that they were
frightened out of their boots" because
Mayor Ames had carried such AFFECT dis
may into the Republican carp last spring,
and to encourage them and dispel all fears,
became quite argumentative in his address.
He reasoned that last springs election was
no critsrion by which to judge the penang
campaign.
"why," said he, s'you have no reason to be
scared will tell you the reason Dr. Ames
carried the city last spring. 1t was pretty
GENERALLY understood that man named I'D
stevens ran the police department OF the city
the two previous years, and second, because
there are only 1000 Irishmen in the city. and
of that number forty-five were policemen,
while there are 40, 600 Swedes in the city, and
only sixteen were placed on Mayor Plllsbury' 8
police force"
This pseudo argument will doubtless
amuse the readers Of the GLOBE, who can
not i..il to note the ridiculous looseness of
Fetcher's statistics. He has always been
an eXtravagant speaker, but this caps the
climax. Only 1000 Irishmen and 10000
Swedes! How the scions of Celtic fame
dwindle in Fletchers vivid imagination,
when confronted by his estimation OF the
multitudinous sons of Svenska. But
Fletchsr's peculiar remarks fell as fiat upon
his audience as the doleful sound of the fog
horn falls upon the ear OF the seaman.
Surely Mr.. Fletcher doesn't think the con-
ditions in this respect are the same now as
they were last spring.

SIGHTED AGAIN.
Another scandinavian who Resents
Republican Insult.

Another scandinavian who Resents
Republican Insult.
s'One of the maddest men ever met in
my time" said Scandinavian. 81 had the
political fortune to encounter this morning
in the shape of an old Republican warrior,
and he amused me immensely as we walked
along Washington avenue. Said he:
Never saw such q COMPOUNDED action in my
life There is the whole heap Of committees
appointed; the county and congressional
committees and the conference committees
On judges and school superintendent, and SO
help me JagserHaut, there are no more
Scandinavians in the whole bunch than Mr..
Knudson on the county and the rip-tearing
Arctander On the judicial conference COM
mittee. / admit now, that my old party is
fairly working up Democratic victory this
fall, both in state and county affairs" And
he locked mad enough to eat or beat all the
Republican tickets and nominees In the
whole United States. Now, all these CON-
plaints which spring up FROM a-son etimes
Observation-Disclosures atty feeling Or defeated
hopes for shares OF the eventual spoils, are
not always of very much account But
added to all their other mistakes, this repeti-
ton of pointed Sights, as stated above by
one Of their solid old-timers can but add to
eur yigor and it will increase cur majority
on the I'd DAY Of November. 1t Is proved,
now, that the cheap valuation which George
A. Pillsbury put upon the Scandinavians a
year ago, was not an individual trait of SEN
timent but lies deep with the party-that is,
its leaders. And with the Republicans the
leaders have become the party. This is
vouched for by MUGin, himself, when he said
at St. Peter last Saturday that it was the
ssparty" which nominated him, while every
bedy knows that it was PiHsbury and Fletcher
who managed all that job, in spite Of strong
marty nnn0Sition.
