Mr.. Parker, of large force from Sher-

ing with him United States prisoners

men lying along the eastern border of

THE following, from the Corsicana
Courier, suits this city as well as any
other:
"In the coming city election we see
no reason for cliques or factions. There
is not now any question of politics in
volved, it has simply come to be a
question of men and their fitness for
office. There is no occasion for wire
pulling or "skull-drudgery;" it is
purely local and as such it should be
treated. The professional politician
should be relegated to one side and
the people permitted to express their
will at the polls without any resort to
the party lash"
In San Antonio it is "party lash"
with vengeance. County official and
city grinder each welding the lash,
and the poor devils whose shoulders
are sore with the infliction grinning
and keeping silence. They are very
much like the darkey who was adj
vised to put "plarster on his haid
and on his mouf" The reform club
propose to take off the plaster, no
matter whom it hurts

Great New York Car Strike.

New YORK, January 29.-With two
exceptions, every line of street cars in
this city is tied up. When the last
night trip was made, each car was
run into the stables, and at a. M. the
great strike commenced. Up to this
hour, no disorder has been reported.
Supt. Murray and Inspectors Sters,
Williams, and Conlan, have been at
police headquarters since day-break
conversing with the officers of the
Surface Road. Two police patrol
wagons are there in readiness for any
emergency, and large number of
reserves are quartered in the building.
A bout sixty of the latter are ordered to
guard the 9th Avenue stables, where
most trou BILE is feared.
Many men on this road are ex-
strikers of the Third Avenue road,
and do not care for the repetition of
their lockout, but they will be closely
watched by their brother workmen.
Men at present employed on the
Third Avenue road are many of them
union men, but they are not strong
enough to go out. Terms of men are
in brief, 1925 per day, of ten hours
work, instead of II hours.
A lively row occurred at Grand
street this morning, when the crowd
of strikers tried to overturn a car. A
bowling mob of strikers surrounded
the car tine minute it came from the
barn: A large body of police sur
rounded the car and the mob did not
do more than yell, but when the Car
started the crowd began to make mis-
chief. A truck was driven on the
track but was removed, and the car
passed on. Halts were made on al
most every block. At Grand and At
torney streets, the crowds sur
rounded the car, unhitched the hor-
SEES, they were given sharp
blow and started off, almost dragging
the driver over the front of the car.
The police all this time had collected
in force and had hand to hand fight
with the mob. Despite the police,
however, the mob lifted the car bod
lily and slung it across the track. Po-
licemen kept dashing up all the time
and attacked the struggling striker.
A moment or two of this and the
crowd became disordered and began
to scatter and the police gained the
day. The police captured one of the
ring leaders and in court he was
fined.

men said they would vote for French,

man that voted for Callaghan was
Jose Cassiano. The Callaghan man
had to pay for twelve rounds ofdrinks

Straws sometimes show which way
