He Who ManIpulates the Reins.

He who manipulates the reins of this ring,
Next election day the doxology will sing.
The non.ringers praise God from whom all
blessings flow,
And once more our misruled city will be all
aglow.
II city was ever despatched with shame,
Rendered uncouth and polluted in name,
IT'S ours: and woe to he who trust betrays
His time is waning and few his days.
For the good of the people his acts have been
few.
He has stood by the ring and his faithful
crew.
But his ship will founder next election day,
And the burros will all take last long bray.
And the monarchial ruler, of adobe fame,
With the dark misdoings of his unpopular
reign,
Will step down and out; will be sadly ignored
By the intelligent populace he so long has
bored.
Hisoner will pale as he vacates the throne.
He'll hand over the reins with a sigh and a
moan;
But the boss and the ring must abide the
decree,
And take their abode "in the cottage by the
sea-"
A scavenger cart will haul off the ring,
And dump them where the dark buZZards
sing.
When they will chant meurnful requiem
And consign their remains with peculiar
stratagem. ANTI-RINGER.

An Unexpected Change.

When the bids we're opened for the
opera house lease last night, by the
management of the club and opera house
company, 1t was discovered. very much
to every ones surprise, that the bid of
Mr.. Thomas Mullaly was the most favor
able of any received by the committee
and the award was made accordingly.
San Antonio Ia to be congratulated upon
the hands OF her own citizens, as there
were spirited bids from abroad, the
fame of this city as q theater going cen
ter and the beauty Of our opera house
being well known throughout the south.
In taking leave of Manager Rische the
theater going people OF San Antonio
will not be likely to forget the
very superior character of the enter
tainments he has placed upon the
boards during the two years of his
management, nor the many nights of
pleasure thus enjoyed; also, the very sat-
isfactory manner In which the box-office
has been served and the ushers work
performed. In retiring from post so
difficult to fill, Manager Risohe will bear
with him the good wishes Of the opera
goers of this city and the consciousness
of having catered to their wants as has
not heretofore been done In San An.
tonic.
Tom Mullaly is too we'll known in San
Antonio to need any introduction at
the hands of the LIGHT. If any man in
this city has the natural qualifications
one would look for in a successful opera
house manager, the popular verdict
would point to Tom Mullaly as that man.
He is accustomed to catering to the pub
lie tastes in other directions, has q
large general acquaintance with the
profession, is good man Of business,
active as a cat, wide awake as an owl,
polite as q dancing master, and carries
round head in his shoulders Expert
enoe alone is wanting In this direction,
and Mr.. Mullaly will have abundant OPP
portunity to show his metal and prove
how far capacity and observation can
make up for want of experience, before
his first season is half over. The LIGHT
sincerely congratulstes the opera house
management, and the new manager
upon their new relations, and wishes for
them the most prosperous run the opera
house has ever enjoyed

A NEIGHBOR REPUBLIC.
Don Atomic Flores,
NEwLY-ELECrEp PRESIDENT OF ECUADOR.

When the republic of Ecuador WAS
was constituted. May 18th, 1880, Gen.
Juan Flores, who had founded it, was
made its first president. The gentleman
lately elected president, Don Antonio
Flores. Is son Of that illustrious man.
Another thing that makes Flores
election an unusually interesting event
to America Is the fact that he is now
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary from Ecuador to the United
States. He is now absent from Wash
ington, staying in Rome, where he has
had several interviews with the pope.
Don Antonio Flores ia q diplomatist of
distinction. He has negotiated lately
treaties between his government and
the governments Of France, Belgium
and Germany. In the course of b busy
life Flores has been minister to Peru,
Chilli, the United States, France, Eng
land, to the Vatican, Germany, Spain,
Portugal and Belgium, and for the
second time he was sent to the United
States. He has been In the senate of
Ecuador, and served under his father at
the first taking of Guayaqull, In 1860,
where he was wounded. In 1883 he
commanded brigade at the siege and
attack of Guayaquil, and was one OF the
first TO enter the town. The National
assembly rewarded him with one of the
four medals distributed after the cam
paign.
Don Antonio Flores excels in political
oratory as in diplomacy, and is an au-
thor of considerable note. He Is Core
spending Member Of the Royal Spanish
Academy. Among his works are: GEL
Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho," of which
second edition was published in New
York In 1888; GENERALIZATION in the
United States;" "Spanish Letters to the
United States;" "Law of Banks" "Con-
version of the Anglo-Ecuadorian Debt"
etc. This interesting and useful man.
whose labors as a statesman have been
chiefly for the promotion Of commerce,
lightens the seventies of his toilsome re-
searches by the composition of verses,
in which he is declared to be an expert.
and, what Is more, his poems have quail
ties Of genuine inspiration.

THE UNIVERSITY.

Another Meeting TO Interest the Pub

A large audience filled Masonic Temple
last evening to hear speeches made in be-
half of the establishment of the Catholic
university in this city.
Cardinal Gibbons, Bishops Moore,
Ireland, Keane, Rev. Dr. Chappelle and
Father MaclSin were on the stage, The
meeting was opened with prayer by Car
dinal Gibbons, who then presented Bishop
Keane. The Bishop was greeted with
applause, for Washington was the place
OF his early ministry, and he has many
friends here. He made q lengthy address
and said that a Catholic university was
the crowning glory of the church, and
that the establishment of the university
here in the Capital of the American Re
public was delight to the Church.

pie and felt sure that the money could be

Ireland said he found $4,000 awaiting
him on his arrival here, 5000 of which
was given by Il. Il. Waggaman and 81 900
by Colonel Jerome N. Bonaparte. About

scription books will be opened at st. Mat
thew's and st. Patricks churches for the
remainder to make up the $4,000 which
Washington is to furnish.
