LONDON, December 4.-The News this
morning publishes letter from President
Evans Of the Liverpool Reform Club. with
whom PaTnell stayed the evening after the
interview with Gladstone at Harwarden.
Evans says that ParnelI, speaking Of the in
terView, was evidently much impressed with
Gladstones cOrdiality and more still with the
thoroughness Of his proposals concerning
ireland, which, he said, meant a most salts

and defiant struggle, has carried with him
large volume of popular feeling in Ireland
and the United States, but says that in eV-

A man from Cann0n's dlstIict Ia Illinois
tells another good good story Of the land
slide. Years ago there was in Cannon's dis.
trict droll fellow, who owned running
hor e that could take first money from all
the horses that gathered at the fairs in the
county. The fellow always attended the
fairs bare footed, ana never bet on any other
horse than his own Ocb-tailed runner. Al
ter few years the bare-foOted jockey and
the Dob-tailed horse disappeared from the
fifteenth Illinois district, and the country
fairs knew them no more. But this year the
people who used 10 attend the races heard of
the man. He wrote back a letter to an old
friend, ana the letter related the strange
story that the writer had been elected to
Congress from Kansas district, having de-
feated Republican of national reputation.
How it all came about the letter did not de-
scribe at length, but the ex-j0ckey evidently
thought the occurrence one needing an un-
usual amount of explanation, for nearly
every other sentence Of the letter was this:
Il was elected because 1 am the friend OF
Gods humble poor"

In an article published in last Fridays
LIGHT 1t was stated that the San Antonio
Street Railway company had in view the
substitution of electricity for mule power
on the Avenue "C' line, and that Presi-
dent Weiss had pending a contract with
some electrical people for supplying that
line of his road with electric motors.
The LIGHT is the only paper in the city
that announced that fact.
Last Saturday President Weiss closed a
contract with a representative of an
electrical firm for the erection
of a plant and ten motors
to be operated by the overhead system.
The name Of the firm is not given, as the
action of their agent has not yet been con-
frmed by the firm, and the cost of the
plant IS likewise kept a secret.
AT this afternoons meeting of the citV
council President Weiss will make formal
application for charter to operate an
electric motor line, and if this application
is granted the motors will be in operation
by August Is. Ten motors will be used to.

The Arkansas Pass is the great stock
shipping route and it originates more ship

that its lines run through the best stock

iccters probably had this in view when
the road was built. The stock ship
mentS originating on the three lines
centering in this city is estimated to
be about 1900 cars yearly, and the Aran-

To the DAILY LIGHT.
The election on the bond PROPOSE
ton on Saturday furnishes a valuable
lesson to our citizens.
Out of four thousand tax payers
only eight hundred voted ON the pro-
position to make an additional quar-
ter of million debt.
How do we account for this?
The Express says, as every body
knew the proposition would carry
anyhow, very few voted Well if
everybody knew 1t and staid away
from the polls, nobody would have
voted at all.
The Express also imparts the in
formation that all the real estate
men were in favor of the loan.
Now, we come to solution: There
are at least 800 real estate men in the
city, add these to the city pap suckers
and We have the affirmative vote
on the proposition.
But how about the vote against
the loan?
Less than one-hundred taxpayers
put in a negative vote. 1t is appar-
ent that a general apathy prevails
among our citizens over city affairs.
People come to the conclusion that
there Is no use in trying to do any
thing as long as the present admin
istration lasts.
But the vote demonstrate that 1t
could easily be headed off.
The lesson is: that unless the people
wake up, the city can be hurled into
debt at speed that will satisfy the
most extravagent debt makers.
Belhauwe remarked that he only
regretted it was not million.
