SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
Large bodies move slowly; the people
are moving.
There is a wide difference between a
spontaneous meeting of the people to Sc
cure ticket, and the secret conclave of a
city ring.
No man is perfect-the people cannot
expect perfection in their candidates, but
they do demand clean, conservative man
for mayor. "
The anita administration ticket will not
be a cut and dried affair; the people have
had difficulty to secure the proper men
for Office.
The power of the ring has been potent
in preventing many of our citizens from
becoming candidates. Her people are
wide awake now.
The desperation of the present city
administration in its determination TO
keep In office, has had the effect to arouse
the voters to action.
1t will be certain, that so far as the
ring candidate for mayor is concerned
there was no solicitation required. He
was there already and wants to stay.
The ring ticket was made in a corner;
there was no such thing as offering NOM
nations to good citizens outside the deal.
There was no declining with thanks, no
interviews in the organ. Silence and
secrecy marked every move.
The people want everything open and
above board; they resent the assumption
of few office holders to dictate to them
for whom they shall vote.

THAT EIGHT HOUR PETITION
iSAN PEDRO.l

tSAN PEDRo)
Several months ago the working people
of San Antonio petitioned the mayor and
his alderman incapables for the adop-
ton of the eight hour system on city
work.
Notwithstanding that committees re-
presenting the labor organizations of the
city were present In the council and de-
sired to be heard, still they were ignored
as il they were slaves, while their petit
tions received not the courtesy of a read
ing in open council. The following ver-
ses occurred to the writer at the time
and were subsequently published In the
LIGHT:
The eight-hour law is busted
BY the aldermen, that rusted
In the cause of those who trusted,
In their chin.
And soon will agitators
Rub their corpulent equators,
And with jaws like alligatOrs,
Take them in.
Though the mayor in the tustle,
Moved not tongue nor facial muscle, -,
Twas apparent he did rustic, ,~>.%
just before,
For the rabbits foot disjointed,
At the working men was pointed,
And they bolted unanuointed
Out the door.
Then his honor dropped the gavel.
On clod of SAMPLE gravel,
While his eyes did slyly travel
Ger the group.
That had voted as directed
And the toiler's hand rejected
And stuck it as suspected,
In The soup.
Thus these champions of labor
Seeking praise from powers Faber,
Turned their backs upon their neighbor,
Working man;
But they'll face him next election
With their hides full of affection
To reduce him to subsection,
If they can.

From the OAKLAND tCal) Enquirer
Even in the life Of the grimy railroad engi-
gineer, whose existence il one OF almost con.
slant danger, there sometimes falls . spark
Of light and a ray Of human sunshine fIlumi-
mates his smoky cab penetrates his greasy
bloufe and finds it, way deep down into his
breast.
little incident happened down ct the mole
the other evening after the arrival Of the over
land train. which, though Of . simple nature,
will long be remembered by 9 certain c. P. en-
gineer. The great iron monster attached to
the train was throbbing and putting after the
long and sinuous trip over mountain sides and
rocky defles, trembling trestler and marshy
stretches. The din in the depot was desfening,
but out Of the chaos of sounds q sweet girlish
voice was heard welcoming home her par
ents, who had arrived on the train. She
six years Of age, with a quick, intelligent
eye and loving nature, to which she gave
full vent in the radiant aud impulsive way
she welcomed her fond parents back. At last
they took her by the hand and proceeded
toward the waiting ferry boat. As they
passed by She sngine belonging to the train

wheels afectionately with her little white
hands. Looking up ct the smokestack,
she said: You good, big old iron horse, you
have brought back my papa and mamma safe
over the fearful mountains t. their little girl,
and want to thank you, even if you don't care
for me because am so little. and you, too"
she continued, turning her face wistfuliy
toward the grimy engineer, who was leaning
out OF the cab window, II love you both"
Then she kissed her hand to him and was gone
like ray of sunshine
Just then feeting sunbeam from the great
orb sinking down into the Golden Gate came
stealing through a chink in the depot and stole
by the engineer into his cab. There was a
strange look on his face for an instant, and all
at once the depot was dark and lonesome. When
he turned his head into the cab there were two
light spots on the cheeks Of his dust-bsgrimed
face.
