Two years ago We Democrats Of San Mar
cos were all denouncing trusts, aud lol we are
now about to fall under control Of ono of
the most outrageous trusts ever known, in
the street improvement scheme.

Mention not having been made in our col
ums for some time of the boarding house of
Mrs. Blliingsly, we wish to state that it is in
successful progress, retaining its list OF long
time boarders, and opening its hospitable
doors to all who desire to share in the excell-

people on the question. But now he has

Alderman Browne in an article in the s
FREE Press some time since took the po-
;ition that the building of a public school
house to cost from $4,000 to $4,000 a
would bankrupt the city, but now he votes v
