Local Politics."

Editorial Texas Stats Zeitung, Nov. Is
In considering the results of the genera
elections throughout the United States,
we look forward to a brighter future re-
garding our local and state affairs. We
hope that the good common sense of the
people in this community will assert it
self, and that all the evil deeds commit
ted under the pretence solely to serve the
dear people Will prove boomerang 10
those committing them. According to
our view it is misfortune for any one to
strive for the possession of public office
IL he can earn an honest livelihood in any
other way.
As long as one seeks an Office it stands
to reason that all available means will be
resorted to. iu order to accomplish sue
ceSSful result, and iu these instances such
means are as a rule not of the most COM
mendable sort. The general result is,
that in the course of time the citizens be-
come accustomed to the illegal and dis
reputable methods employed by the office
seekers, which Eventually undermineS all
civil order, and offers premium for in
famous transactions of such violators of
civil rights and liberty.
The only way TO remedy this evil with
some prospect of success is to draw strict
party lines even to the minuteSt combina-
lions and to hold to strict account and
responsible one or the other party for the
actions for its nominees. The evil of
being tyrannized by a lot Of Office seekers
and political combinations has been prac-
ticed so long, that for some time tn COM
munity have been devising ways and
means of remedying the evil and have
finally arrived at the conclusion that the
only effectual remedy is TO fill the offices
with the regular nominees of either of the
great political parties.
In this instance the people can to a
honorable nominations, as each party
will be compelled 10 put forth its best
material in order to secure the election of
its candidates, and furthermore that the
party making the nomination is respon-
sible to the people for the integrity and
proper qualifications of its nominees.
We desire nominations instead of COM

ON a STRIKE.
1. & G. N. Switchmen Lay Down
Their Jobs.

Yesterday morning the entire switch
men quit work at the |. & G. N. yards.
The railroad people say that night before
last the men presented a petition, asking
the company to put on three men and one
foreman to each engine, instead of two
men and foremen, as had been allowed
them heretofore. This petition demand
ed that the company accede to the re-
quest by noon, yesterday. The yard
master took time by the foreiock
and fired both switching gangs.
The conductors, engineers and others
are now compelled to make up their own
trains. and work is now progressing, but
very slowly.
''The ugly feature about the strike is
that we have just gotten the freight
across the break at New Braunfels and
the yards are now pretty well crowded."
said one of the freight Office men. ''While,
of course, we are moving the trains all
right. yet the work is so slow that it vir-
tually ties up the freight Office"
1t is said that the company had given
the switchmen raise in their wages just
three weeks ago.

Prince Consort can wonder that the Queen

THE DEPREDArING HEN

OF all things in nature that affiict the sons OF
men,
There is nothing that know of beats the dep
redating hen;
If you see wild-eyed woman flying brickbats
from the shed,
You can bet hen has busted up her little flower
bed.
She plumbers and she scratches, she cackles and
she hatches
And forty thousand cor boys couldn't keep her
in a pen;
She was set on earth to fret us, to excoriate the
lettuce
She's thorough going nuisance, is the depre-
dating hen.
threw brick and missed her, as she hustled
out my beans,
But Julius Caesars statue was smashed to
smithereens;
saw her digging rifle-pits where I'd put my
fred good; sized rock and hit my hired man
on the shin.
She busts all bounds and shackles, she giggles
and she cackles,
She makes me say some angry things haven't
l never used bad language, but now I'm filed
with anguish,
Alas I've broke the record, through that depre-
dating hen.
But now throughout my cabinet there floats a
pleasing smell,
And the reason for the perfume isn't very hard
TO tell,
For when ! rose this morning saw my cabbage
bed wreck,
l caught that depredating hen, and dercely
wrung her neck
l heard her fzz and crackle, no more she'll
scratch and cackle
Or make my summer garden look like some
hyena's den;
She far too long has bossed me, she far TOO much
I'll eat at luncheon time to-day hundred-dol.

According to recent japanese return it
appears that the great majority of persons
committing suicide in japan are over fifty
years OF age. Next on the list come per-
sons between twenty and thirty years of
age. OF these the greater number turn
their backs on the world in consequence of
disappointed love. For suicides of all
ages July is the favorite month. During
the period of six years, from 1888 to 1888,
inclusive, the number of suicides in the
month of July ranged from 500 to 500,
while the number during the remainder OF
the year averaged from 200 to 500 only.
