AN APPEAL.
SAN AM

SAN ANTONIO, August %, 1888.
To he Citizens and Friends, Especially of the
Colored Race, Of Your City:
I have been here only eleven
months, as pastor of the Second Bap-
fist church, and taken an observation
of the general surroundings of my peo-
pie and their suffering condition gen.
orally, and being a citizen of your
city and friend and lover of human
| ity, / see great necessity of house
of correction and protection of the poor
motherless and fatherless children of
your city; and having no place of re-
sort or protection for the sick or intirm
who comes and desires to come to our
city for their health; therefore seeing
| it to be necessary for some one to do
something in this direction, 1 thought
to undertake the project by organizing
the old and younger people into
benevolent societies, to raise and de-
post all monies in the bank until we
can realize a sufficient amount to carry
out the object. have organized the
ladies of the church into missionary
society, numbering near 100, and they
are at work, putting forth every effort
they know how, in the work.
Mrs. Annie Clark, president.
Mrs. Hattie Phelps, treasurer.
Mrs. E. B. Smith, secretary, with
the other offices, and they are doing
grand work.
Also l have organized an auxiliary
society among the little folks. Two
weeks ago we enrolled IS names.
Mrs. Z. B. Smith, president.
Miss Ruthy Smith, secretary.
Miss Dealia James. Mrs. An
ME Clark, treasurers, and other
officers and trustees, and they
are also doing a grand work,
The children are now begging
with their little penny cards, hoping
wherever they may be met with
their cards, some good hearted person
will give them one dime to help us in
the movement. We expect in the
near future to organize the Young
NJ ems Christian association among
the young men of the city, all relative
to the same work.
J. H. Holt, H. T. Harvey,
Ben Jones, Washingt Clark,
Prince Adams, VIM. Alexander,
VIM. Lewis. James VIM,
DeacOns and trustees of the church |
and the general managers who will |
see to it that everything will be well |
attended too.
Hoping that these views will meet |
the appreciation of every good think
ing citizen son of San Antonio, both |
white and colored and lift should meet |
your approval, 1 do earnestly hope to
get your cooperation, and that every
lover of humanity will give me their
aid in the matter. Ifanyone wishing
to aid or leave donations, please leave
the amount and your name with the
San Antonio LIGHT office, and oblige
the poor and suffering humanity.

THE ARMOUR MEAT CROWD,

Senator Vests committee, investigat
ing, at st. Louis, the cattle and dressed
beef business, is developing, anew, the
fact that combination works to the gen.
eral detriment, and that trusts drive out
smaller concerns, to the injury of the
consumers.
Some Of the testimony is interesting,
as showing the methods resorted to by
the Phil. Armour's TO carry out their
points. For instance:
Levi Samuels. wholesale butcher of New
Fork, formerly an exporter, ~testifes that
the cattle market is now depressed. He
was familiar with the dressed beef bust
ness. With the exception Of one or two
towns in the East, all the beef sold there
is dressed beef. Local butchers have quit
slaughteriug or buying from Wholesale
slaughterers. The reason for this was
that the western dressed beef men have
gone in there and offered their beef l,wer
than the local butchers could buy cattle
and slaughter them for. In this way local
slaughterers were forced to quit killing and
buy dressed beef from the west. When
the western men had secured control they
put up the price high enough to justify
their loss previous to obtaining control.
A. w. Hillard of Midland, Texas, stated
that about n o he was negotiating
with the proprietors of the beef refrigerator
in Ell Paso to supply them with cattle, but
ncgotiftions fell through because the Ell
Paso people were closed out. The South.
ern Pacific railroad refused to supply cars
for the transportation OF dressed beef TO
Los Angeles, having a contract with CHI
cago people which compelled them to ex-
clude the Ell Paso people.

Richard Gray, general freight agent
Of the Southern Pacific system, was ex-
amined at his own request, and sought
to negative Hillard's testimony, by de-
claring that the company had no refrig-
ertOr cars, and refused to handle those
of other cars when the latter were unfit
to 60 over the steep grades and short
curves of their road" Other testimony
shows the effect Of the powers Of Armour:
George Beck, OF Detroit, butcher and cat
tie dealer for the last thirty years, testified
that the dressed REORGANIZATION had been
the means of crushing out all the butchers
throughout the east and concentrating the
4 cattle business at Chicago.
Warren Buckmaster, retail butcher OF
Akron, O., testified that in 1887 the labor
unions of Akron passed resolutions not to
buy meats of Armour & Co. The butchers
OF Akron were happy. But in a few days
Armour sent down a car load of meat and
understood them all. The Armour concern
opened two stores in the heart of Akron
and actually gave away the best meat in
the land. The result was the signing OF an
agreement by the butchers association to
give preference to the house OF Armour IL
Co., the latter agreeing to close their retail
establishments in Akron. Instead OF clos
ing their stores they sold them to the local
butchers to be run to the great detriment
of .he trade. Witness admitted, however,
that at present got their meats
much cheaper than before Armour & Co.
came in.
John Duff, of Detroit, a butcher OF
twenty-six years experience, testified that
he was met at Cheboygan six years ago by
Armour meat and closed out Of the market
there. At twenty-six places in Michigan
outside of Detroit Armour meat is one cent
per pound higher than in Detroit. IL these
towns butchers who six years ago were
wel!-to-do are o ankrupt.
Some of the witnesses were compelled
to admit that the customers, in certain
instances, got their meat cheaper after
Armour came in with his supplies. This
fact, however, ought not to close ones
eyes to the fact that, as soon as the local
dealers are fairly driven off the course,
and out Of the way, the price Of meat at
once begins to advance. This, at least,
is said to be the case.

ROWLING NEWSPAPER COYOTES.

NV L-N NJ c1 n LLAO
The hippant manner in which certain
journals are belittiing all newcomers
into Montana suggests the possibility
that those who have been here five Or six
years consider themselves the Robinson
CrusOes Of the NOrthWest-OWners of all
they survey-and determined to oppose
all growth of the country through set
tiers availing themselves of the land
privileges supposed to be offered them in
the territories, OF by any other means Of
immigration. These journals notably
OF the Republican protection" stripe
are loud in their denunciatiOn Of scar
pet-baggers," forgetting, or perhaps not
knowing, that the original carpet-bagger
was n seedy Republican who foated
down upon the South with a satchel in
one hand and a government appointment
in the other, for use in sapping the al
ready weakened means Of the people
during the few months in which he
could reap his ill-gotten harvest before
returning to his lair in the North.
These facts force the Boulder "Senti-
mel" to read these blatant Republican
journals q lesson. The Sentinel" says:
In the first place let it be remembered
that those who use the term carpet-bagger,
as applicable TO persons who were not here
in 'eariy days." forget hat in the early
days Montana was a wilderness and a land
without law and order, except the law of
mObs and vigilantes, and the total of it's
citizens was very few thousands. With the
newcomers Montana began to grow" 10
usefulness, wealth and Importance and
without them it would nave remained as it
was in the days Of the Old-timers." Hence
the present splendid place among great
communities which Montana hollis is surely
attributable in greater part to those who
were not here ia the "early days" OF which
80 much is heard.
1t is to be hoped that outsiders will not
be deferred from coming to Montana by
The Republican blatherskite cry Of car
pet-bagger," 'tenderfoot," newcomer"

to have good citizens from everywhere

Sentenced to One Year,

The case OF Territory VS.. George E.
Benson occupied most of the time in the
District Court yesterday. His offence was
the grand larceny of a lot of goods con
tanned ia d trunk from the Barnard block
on Julie Is last. The prisoner had been
caught at an early hour that morning by
Officer Murray in the act OF carrying the
trunk away with another man. Both
men fled 1T sight OF the officer, but Benson
was o~vertAken. The trunk had been in the
cellar OF the store formerly occupied by
Andrews, the tailor, access to which
was obtained in the rear OF the
biloxi. The defence vas that the
accused HAD been asked by q man whom he
did rot know to assist hiin in carrying
ava the trunk and that he did cot know
it was stolen ur what the contents were.
Mr.. Charles O'DuAn.li labored eloquently
on behalf of the prisoner, but the evidence
Was to direct too 10 overcome by any de-
ience, however specious, and the jury re-
turned a verdict OF guilty and assessed the
punishment at one year in the peniten-
tiary, which was a very light sentence.
