SHARPEYE sLAsHEs.
San Antonio is having her worst devil
try Matched under three plug hats.

The gang" can't tinker with the scales
Of justice on or in the court house. If
| they could they would soon be out Of
| whack
If it takes nine tailorS to make a man,
how many aldermen at-small would 1T
take to make tailor.
The moon shines best when it's full.
The contrary, however, is the case with
| the administration.
The office of alderman t-large is going
| begging, and like the small pox no one
wants it.
Our little Dogberry should fine the man
| in the moon fifty dollars for the con-
temptuous look he has lately.
That blow that was struck in Brady's
some years ago seems to be echoing yet.
Although the general laid him out he
seems to have been laying tor him since
Spite lives best in small breasts:
Take the smallest egg laid by gnat
And crush it into powder fine
The smallest atom in the speck
A mountain is long side of brine.
The applause at the conclusion of Judge
Noonan's address to the grand jury shows
that the grip of the gang is rOtting fast
The political hobo that claims to be
somewhat of a lawyer himself is laying
low lately. He's probably resting on
pillow of fish hooks.
In these days of contempt, plug hats
and books with strings tied to them, we
mustn't forget that the assessment COM
mittee is in it-at 5000 per day.
Where does old man Pag come in any
how? He must be in it some place.

That was scurvy trick to leave out
| the joker. He would make good alder
man-for the gang.
Judge Noonan stands between the peo-
pie and the worst lot of political cattle
| that ever broke into official fields. A pa
triot is on guard and his countersign is
DUTY"
The pay-no-rent "organ" is working
| the rabbits foot on the administration
with every toe on it. Wonder its cigarette
| inspired editor doesn't organize himself
| into a couple of regiments and suppress
| the grand jury and be done with it. No
doubt the king would present him with
| box of straight CUT If he would.

The city pound has burned down. This
| is no surprise as it has been long burning
| shame.
The people have soured on the whole
| gang" This accounts for the clabber in
| the administration cocoanut.
On council meeting days the assessment
| committee draws ten dollars apiece. This
| is big pay for small men.
The city crowd is tortured meat and
| unfit even for chile-con -carne.
With George PaSchal as mayor and the
grand jury as the city council we would
have one of the best administrations that
| the city has ever had. There would be
no knee trembling, when a grand jury
would happen to meet, with them-nO OBJ
struction nor books with strings tied TO
| them.
The little court must have bad liver;
| either that or relapse Of debilitated dig
| nifty.
If the grand jury had been imprisoned
| that day there would be an uprising of
! spOt of the gang" and they knew it.
| They saw the danger line and kept
! from it,
It's natural for an eel TO kick when it is
| being skinned. There's heap of kicking
| going on just now.
| He wiped his face on a paper of pins
And chewed package of tackS;
| He picked his teeth With mackerel fins
| And turned from the bottom, jacks;
He wallowed in thornS and other things
Intended to give him points;
