The first attempt to introduce the
Australian ballot practice will take
place at the Citizens association
hall back of Rische's opera house.
The new law is defective in mary
particulars; there is no provision as to
how the voters will designate his
choice as in other laws of similar
character. So the old law pre-
walls and the voter must
scratch off all candidates he does
not vote tor. The nan or of voting
will be explained tonight. Tests will
also be made as to what time O voter
can reasonably consume in preparing
and casting his vote, The practice
will not be restricted to members of
the association, the doors will be open
to all.

The CIark-CalIaghan Combine.

AC
There is a umo current on the
streets that there has been 8 combina-
ton entered into between the Clark
democrats and Boss" Callaghsn, by
which he, the boss" will trade off
Hogg for the support OF the Clsrkites
for the ring ticket. There seems to he
q good deal of foundation for this
rumor, as il is we'll known that the
Epson wing of the Clark party, belong
to the Callaghan local political fami-
ly, in fact are his closest political
friends. AS the Callaghan democracy
consists almost entirely Of Mexican
voters, it would be in a hopeless mi.
nority unless backed by the white
democracy; the combination has
become q necessity with the ring.
The federal our house republican
contingent to the ring cannot rally
fifty voters, but they are put down 10
deliver the colored voters of the coun-
ty, with whom Mr.. Terrell says he
only worked with for policy sake. The
colored brother will not be so easily
delivered, therefore the Clark Ameri.
cans and Germans must be traded
for. hence the trade.
Now, if this be the case, it is
high time the good citizens of
BeXar county made a movement.
1t is Just two months from today
TO election day and while Geo. Clark's
election to governor, may oe a thing
very dear 10 many of our best citi-
zens. the question arises, are you
willing to trade off the county of
Bexar and the city of San Antonio
for Geo. Clark.
Two years ago a corrupt Combina-
ton backed by q railroad downed
the good people OF this county,
will they permit a corrupt
combination of democratic political
tricksters to down them again.
Geo. Clark may be q second Geo.
Washington, but the firm Of Callag-
han, CLARK, Terrell & Co. will be the
most unpopular combine ever at
tempted in this county.
We have no sympathy with Hogg,
he deserves to be the victim of all the
treachery Callsghan & Co. are cap
able of. but the time is not ripe when
the people of this city and county will
even stomach Clark sugared with
Callaghan. The people, the intelli'
gent people, have not yet become
politically fy-blown. Let the people
keep q sharp eye ON the Clark man
ayers.

THEY COLLIDE.
A South Heights Car and a Wagon
Come Together.

On East Houston street, Just at the
bridge. last night at eight o'clock, a
smash up occurred between a South
Heights street car, in charge of Motor
man Ford, and a Singer sewing machine
wagon, driven by P. NJ; Puckeridge, and
also occupied by Mrs. Puckeridge,
in which the wagon was knocked
out in the first round. The machine
wagon was going west, and the street car
was going west, The wagon driver saw
the car coming, jumped out ahd tried to
lead the horses on the sidewalk, but both
were TOO slow. When Ford saw the peril
of the wagon he reversed his current, but
he also was too slow and the car ran into
the wagon. Results, broken side bar of
wagon, a bruised and tainted lady, and a
motorman under arrest, TO appear before
the recorder.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Everyone knows that the cholera
scare has become q part and parcel OF
the ring campaign. 1t was well
enough to clean up the city but what
in the name of Geo. Clark and the
Callaghan com Animation was the ex-
cuse for the county appointing 8 lot of
sanitary inspectors.
1t is well known that during our
worst visitations of cholera the coun-
even the suburbs of the city were n
touched.
But in order to have q lot of paid
el~ectioneerers in the field the county
commissioners court q appointed q
lot of so-called inspectors, which are
costing the taxpayers $40 a day and
who are now only engaged in dis
tributing DIR. Clifford's medical ad-
vice. Twenty dollars would have
mailed the cholera circular to every
family that can read in the county.
Hoggism has certainly been an in
Fiction upon the state; the cholera
would be q terrible scourge upon the
the people, but combine both Hogg
and cholera and YET the people had
better take Hogg and cholera than to
follow the court house ring, with
Callaghan as boss to remain Ions ger in
office.
The importation of Mexican voters
has been the fruitful mother of every
i'll our city has been inflicted with. 1t
has brought US small pox, will bring
cholera, and has given US the most
putrid local government known in
The history of our city. Il 10 time, as
q matter of public safety, that the
good people, the American citizens,
native and naturaliZed. the taxpayers,
the heads of family and the young
men of our city rose as one man and
punched the life out OF this pest
breeding element.
The city government has been run
in the ground, but when it m TO
downright corruption, our county
government is more rank than that OF
Tweed or the boodle-s OF Chicago.
The people have the power, the
votes, to put an end to all this; and
no personal consideration for candi'
dates should he allowed to intervene.
X
Candidates for the several county
offices, dszzled by the wealth and
opulence acquired by the members of
the ring, are SO anxious to secure
public favor that they court all sides
for votes. A ticket should be made
up of men who have moi ever been
guilty of seeking q place on the
ticket headed by the boss" some
good men may suffer, but the
good of the public will be
advanced. Bexsr county needs a
thorough political sanitation. Are
the people ready TO turn on the hot
steam at the ballot box and kill out
the political bacillus.

DR.. David Johns administered the

The first operation, that of removing the

sisted by DR.. Schopen. 1t lasted twenty

from the right hand and patched up the

FORT SMITH, Ark, March 23.-John
Brown, aged 10 years, was convicted of
murder in the federal court and was re-

death. Brown is one of the Wacooh
Hampton gang, who, on the Sth of De-

head, detective, and Josiah Poorboy,
a Cherokee deputy marshal, near Table

laying to catch him. During the night
Hampton, Brown and John Roach came
along and the two officers ordered them
to halt until they could see who they
were. Roach got off his horse and laid
his gun down when Brown shot him in
the arm. Then Brown and Wacooh both
opened fire upon the officers, killing
them. They took Whiteheads pistol
and robbed him of some money, also
took Poorboys Winchester. Roach was
arrested and lodged in Jail here, but a
nolle prosequi was entered IN his case
and he became a witness against Brown.
Hampton and Brown remained at large,
committing depredations and peddling
whisky until the Goth of last January,
when Wacooh was killed by Deputy
Marshal Heck Drummer, and ON the same
night Brown was captured in bed at the
house of Hampton's mother. When ar

ON TO WACO.
The Rock Island Gross es Red River
in July.

1t is now nearly an assured fact
t. at long before the expiration of
1892 the trains of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific will be running
regularly into Waco. General Freight
and Ticket Agent Bell of the Texas
Central told NEWS reporter yester
day that the track builders of the
Rock Island route would cross Red
River some time in July. He did not
know at just what point it would cross,
but thought that a point opposite
Henrietta would be chosen, and that
they would build through that town
and connect with the Wichita Valley
road at Wichita Falls The Rock
Island bias already acquired the
Wichita Valley road and when they
make connection with it, it will leave
gap OF only about fifty or sixty
miles for them to fiji to have through
line to the gulf via the Texas Central
from Albany and the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass from here. There is
little doubt hut that this gap will be
filled as soon as connection is made at
Wichita Falls. AS soon as the gap
is filled the through trains will be run
into Waco and on to the gulf as
soon as the Brazos can be bridged.
