SHORT SNAPPERS.

The taxpayers decided yester-
day to pay for no more imported
voters.
Some people feel so guilty that
they acknowledge judgment with
out trial.
Because a white man is broke
and out of work he is not neces-
sarily tramp.
Buck Hice says he is not running
for fun and proposes to canvas the
ward thoroughly.
The election yesterday proves
that the people are getting very
sick of voting for bonds.
There is something wrong about
the city's drug contract, and it is
expected Alderman Jack will look
into the matter.
BY what right or whose authOri-
ty do the police go out OF the city
limits to arrest poor white men
who are looking for work, and lock
them up as tramps?
If every man in San Antonio,
who is out of work, and not dol
lar in their pockets, We're arrested
as tramps, the City hall would be
filled from cellar to roof.
Some philanthropic lawyer
should volunteer to defend those
white men, (who are looking for
,,-orlyN DC,,v mao rnnroto in tLo cit,,
jail, charged with being tramps.
The honest laboring men of San
Antonio should assemble in mass
meeting and protest against the
wholesale arrest Of white men, as
Migrants, who are passing through
the city, looking for work.
The taxpayers have endorsed
two large money appropriations
lately, and as nothing has been
done but issue messages and adopt
good resolutions, they are getting
mighty tired of voting for bonds.
The assistant city marshal,
Garcia, has given the police in
structiOns to be very vigilant in
arresting all persons looking like
tramps, but said nothing about the
several hundred loafing Mexicans
and negroes, and gambling pimps
hanging around the saloons and
variety theatres on the west side.
The managers of the variety
theatres complain that there are
numerous Migrants and tramps
hanging around their show houses
who are never mOlested by the pO-
lice. Some of them are white,
black and yellow in complexion,
who have been in San Antonio five,
ten and twenty years, and have
never been known to do an honest
days work.

An Interesting Evening.

A large number of young men
attended the literary meeting at
the Christian association rooms,
last night, and were treated to the
following program, rendered in a
creditable manner by the partici-
pants: Recitation, l.. H. COllett ;
Grafton, James ROutledge; debate,
"Resolved, that education tends to
the decrease of crime" The judges
decided in favor Of the affirmative.
One of the features was the music
rendered. The society will meet
again next Wednesday night,
when the following subject will be
debated: "ResOlved, that the en-
trance of the United States into an
Anglo-SaXOn commercial and de-
fensive union is desirable"

gram. The third act is replete
with novelties and brilliant tab

embraces the new ballet features,
is decided improvement on the
old act, and all its parts are pleas
ingly presented with the possible
exception of the "BOwery Hood
lums," which is a tritie overdone,
though it caught the gallery's
warmest approval. The transfer
nation scene in this act is truly
gorgeous, and forms a brilliant
conclusion to well-staged and ar

Little Miss Columbia, the child
danseuse, is marvel and won a
storm of applause by her artistic
and wonderful performance. She
is very young, but a thorough
master of the terpsichorean art.
The company with Mr.. Yale's

thoroughly trained, in consequence

issued by the license department that
all those who have not paid up by the

The department must start the year
with a clean balance sheet.
Mr.. Reese also received during the

land sold for taxes upon which the
time for redemption would soon have
expired. 1t is estimated that Salt Lake

and this cause alone is said to have
contributed largely to The depleted con-

to Congress with the petition for the
grant of the lands included therein
no1- held by the government. Should

seems no good reason to doubt that
such win be the case, this city will
have absolute control of it's water sup
ply and can thereby keep it compare
lively free from impurities. The city
engineers department has been at
work upon the map for several weeks.
The department has had a medium
