The Times puts on an air OF injured
innocence in reply to a few structures
from the StOCkman, ard attempts to
play the goody-gOOdy baby racket.
Whenever the Times gets wOrsted in
an argument it becomes a martyr, and
weeps great big tears rs it dOlefully
tells of its devotion to the city and the
public generally. As the organ Of the
water works, ii is the most seryile OF all
of that corporations servants. As the
personal organ of Mayor Callaghan, it
takes the cake as the champion tOadyist.
As the upolOgist Of the NOlksfest iizZle,
in whose grand parade it exhibited
couple of wagon loads Of newspaper, as
an evidence ofits stupendOus enterprise,
it has truly earned all the patronage
il obtained from the affair The Times
is a patriOt-we might say it is jour
neyman patriot-but when it Is gently
corrected it returns to the nursery and
bubbers about its valiant defense OF the
city. The LIGHT and the StockmGn are
quite willing TO make n showing Oftheir
work in the interest Of San Antonio, but
they believe laborCr is worthy
Of his hire. and the truths they
uttered fitted the Times mOssback-
ism and its colossal prejudices so
well that it Immediately put them on.
The Times denies that the charges Ofthe
Stockman apply to the city of to-day.
Considering the fact that the Times gives
no reason why they do not so apply, it
will he taken for granted that they are in
the main correct. The truth spoken
about a community is no crime. and he
is n false friend who fails to show us
our errors. The real fact is, however,
that the prejudices Of the Times are SO
warped that it can see no good in any
one outside its own circle. The LIGHT
has no scheme. 1t wants to advertise
san Antonio abroad and tell OF The many
climatic and natural advantages Of the
city, and it will give $500 towards a
$4,000 fund for that purpose, ana will
not ask a dollar Of patronage for Itself.
II the Times will do as well, il can prove
its devotion and its great dCsI'e 10 mp
hold the good name Of the city.
Al TIE first blush" II would seem
that the City Attorney could have ut
tered an opinion that would have held
the Coun-il together in the recent dis
Cussion Of who are really members, but
in view of the fact that Mr.. PauIy did
not propose to take any chances, but re-
signed. that opinion which The Mayor
SAYS was given. did not have the desired
effect.
NAM Democratic papers have great
deal to say about the cnornhty Of the
Bell telephone monopoly in order to, in
some measure, justify the breaking down
Of the patent. If obtained fraudulently.
it should be set aside, bat when the
principal prosecuting officers on the part
of the Government are to be enriched
millions of dollars by the breaking down
Of the Bell patent, it puts faint on the
proceedings that all the soFhistries pos
sible cannot purify. Even Democratic
cabinet officers are not divine.

A STRANGER, happening into the City
Council when any question affecting tie
water-works or Mr.. Brackenridge's in
terests was under discussion, and not
knowing the character Of the assembly,
would suppose that he was in a court of
justice and that the aldermen were at
tOrneys, some arguing the City's case
while others that of the opposition. Yet
it is supposed that the aldermen should
always have the interests of the city in
view as against all conflicting interests.

Funding tee Debt.

The county commissioners, at Spe-
cial meeting, on the Goth inst, issued
funding bonds of the county to the
amount of S66,0J0, bearing PEI cent.
interest and running so Years from
July |, ISSG. This was to satisfy a
judgment for SOL, 4OOlS obtained
against the county June g. 1888, III the
L. S. circuit court at Lea venworth by
Z. f. Lewis, with interest on the same.
since that date, and costs amounting to
S1l.240.27, total 81, 640.45; also in pay
ment of SO $3.50 of county scrip, issued
at the April and July meetings of the
board of county commissioners. 1t is
claimed that the judgment funded is
the last one outstanding against the
county, and it is to be hoped that this
is true. The scrip compromised was
drawing per cent. interest, while i'll
bonds draws but per cent; but on
the other hand, there was probability
OF the scrip compromised being redeem
ed 10y the county within the next few
years, while now the county must pay
interest on it Tor thirty years, no mat
ter if the treasury is overlooking with
money. And IN this connection it oc-
ours that had the commissioners de-
sired to fund county scrip, that they
should have called in a lot of the old
issue, by advertisement. instead of
That issued this year, and then everyone
holding scrip would have had al equal
chance and the current price Of scrip
would have al once advanced beyond
50 cents. True, if it becomes the policy
of the commissioners to fund all scrip
into bonds, and these bonds are worth
par, the price of scrip will soon reach
par; but to accomplish this the issuance
OF bonds must not cease, now that it
has been commenced.

peneu Again in T-nnhls-

Last spring Lem Depew and several
others were arrested in Elwood town
ship charged with killing a steer, the
property of F. c. Hnbben s. Co., of the
triangle II brand. At the time, all
sorts of defenses we're put in, the most
ridiculous being that Depew had killed
the steer in self defense, it having
chased him on the prairie. This story
was told by Depew and youched for by
some of his neighbors. Just the same,
part of the carcass of the steer was dis
covered; it was shown that he had used
tie meat in various ways. lie was not
without defenders who declared that he
was a persecuted thoughinnecent man
He was bound over to district court
and gave the bond.
While he was out on bond, on the
18th inst, Depew again took 10 bis old
tricks and assisted in killing two spring
calves, on Sand creek, Is miles south
west of here, the property of Hubbell &
Co. 1t is not claimed that the calves
were chasing him, this time. How he
was detected in the crime, may he briefly
told:
With a young man named Lon. CalJ-
well, he was out on the prairie. One or
the other shot calf and it got away.
They shot another and killed it. TAX
ing it to where a well had been started.
they cut out the hind quarters and bur
led the carcass under the loose dirt
taken from the excavation. Several
days afterward young man working
for J. y. LUckard, in passing the place
noticed that the coyotes had partially
disinterred the carcass. IIeleported at
headquarters and about the same time
Lon Caldwell appeared at the Lockard
/ ranch and confessed his connection
with the affair.
The officers were notified and a war
rant for the arrest Of Depew'Was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Nelson and was
served by him and Deputy Kathriens,
Sunday morning at daylight. Depew
was found at his fathers house. By
| agreement, Caldwell was at Mr.. Omey S
on Mule creek. and he was taken in
charge.
On being arraigned before Justice
McCandless, in this city, Monday last,
the evidence clearly established De
pew's guilt. To make it more binding,
during a recess, he admitted to the JUS
tice that he killed one of the calves, and
claimed that Caldwell killed the other.
He was sent to Jail, in default of bail
and his case will come up at the Octo-
Der term of the district court.
