LONG STOPS.
IBY No FLIES ON HIM.

The change in the fire department wa
inspired by spite and fire-water.
The snake cares not for it's own slime
! neither does the administration care FOL
the smallpox.
III a city election was held today, there
wouldn't be enough left politically OF the
| alcalde to fill up those cracks In the
| abuttment of Market street Drldge.
Nest hiding used to be the act In
| Beecher's day, but neSt-featherlng is tne
| caper i'm these times of blankets, small
pox and epicure aldermen.
| Wurzbach can go TO congress by DEFEAT
| ing the Kings amendments TO the city
| charter.
Callaghan's war on the Germans is I'M
| warranted and outrageous; but the peo-
Piles engine will knock of the little Dull
| presently.
The taxpayers will soon have to com
mence chipping into the municipal pot,
otherwise Brine's parasites won't have
nothing to feed on.
The very ones that get employment on
city work would, il there was a war
against Mexico tomorrow be about the
first to point guns at US.
First Miner: What's the matter old
pard, You look poverty hit?
Second Miner: Yes, I'm so poor that IL
towns were selling at a cent apiece L
coul int make the first payment on
pigeon house.
First Miner: How is that?
S. cond Miner: | have been digging for
gold in the mayors name.
indicators come high, but the admins
tration must have them, even at the cost
lars to the city.
Instead of buying those round blocks on
Houston street, the gang might as well
lay eggs on it.
The King should throw away some
more of our money in digging holes in the
San Pedro for his Aztec firemen to dip
their buckets into.
Brine should now see that his green
firemen don't hitch up the street sprink-
Ter inSteai of the fire engine.
The alcalde's, ndissue, like the toady
Express, is bad paper. Retroactive virus
won't take on it.
Aldermen Hoefling, Beckman and
Persch! you are the Sentine OF the peo-
pie; guard well Your posts and you will
be rewarded. Let no seductive wink nor
back tapping mislead you. The alcalde
has penchant for these.
With taxation, vexation, vindicatiOn
and vaccination, San Antonio is sadly
afflicted.
The vagrant rodent that inserts his
molars in Anticipated limburger, smacks
not his lips in less beatitude than does the
king-when they change bottles on him.
Old whiSkers said G the Dutch"
and the alcalde put the seal OF his APP
proval on the imprecatiOn, by dismissing
one of the finest fire departments west of
the Mississippi river.
The right of tho Alcalde to dismiss the
fire department is questioned, since he
represents only one half of the town.
Mayor Schramm, of the east side has not
been consulted at all.
Callaghan's spite at the firemen will
cost the city $4,000 year. Wonder VIII I
some more Of his grudges will cost A few
more like the last one would bankrupt ii g
town. When the mayor of city resorts
to spite, he be comes small potatoes and
easy to count.
In these vaccinating and leg extracting
days it is observable that goggles are be-
coming fashionable again.
The mayor DOM care cen the width Of a
hair
For the people or town,
As long as he draws five thousand, be-
cause
His goose is cooked brown.
