A CAUSE FOR DEPRESSION.
Are San Antonians Living ia,
Above Their Requirements and
Means.

"There is no doubt" said Mr.. f..
S. Gallagher, to LIGHT man, that
San Antonio is not as prosperous
as she was and where there is an
effect there is a cause. In my
opinion, one important cause, that
has been overlooked, that is, we
are mostly living too high for our
means. In the old days even big
merchants were satisfied with
small houses, humble decorations
and furniture and less style
generally. They wore palmer and
less expensive clothing and did
not make such display of jewell
ry. 1t was the same with their
wives and families. They were far
more frugal, and INDUCED more in
the substantial, rather than in the
expensive luXuries that frequently
adorn the family table. AS a re-
suit they had a larger bank ac-
count, more cash to invest, and
made a greater competence. In
this way many of our present cap
italists, or their dead fathers, made
their handsome fortunes. But
these are now altered. Houses of
a comparatively palatial and cost
ly style are built, and these
necessitate elegant decorations
and furnishings. Moreover the
cost of their maintenance is
large and oppressive, and natur-
ally the taxes are much greater.
Pa too must be dressed in good
style, and SO must mamma and
the children to keep up their dig
nifty. The local schools are too
humble for their children and they
must go away to college and &C
quire all the learning and accom-
plishments possible. OF course
this is all right to those who can
comfortably afford it, but to many
it is a continual struggle to meet
current expenses, there is little or
no margin to meet financial de-
preston and misfortunes that may
always arise, there is no chance of
investing and making profits in
that way and in the end it means
comparative ruin. Just look
around, observe and think and you
will see here is one of the main
canses of San AntOnio's depression.

Speaks Out in Meetin.

From the Weekly Tonguelet.
Some people don't like the
Tonguelet because it tells the truth
about the Negro "in open meetin."
The Tonguelet keeps too or three
handkerchiefs to keep its eyes dry
on account of these criticisms from
it's "Own dear kim" It's parents
used to tell it, with sanctimOnious
reverence, to go in private and see
the traDsgressOr, get him behind
the door and whisper tearfully his
faults. Having tried it without
effect, except upon its own eX-
tremitles from the good tempered
advised) the Tonguelet swoTe that,
in future, it would speak out in
meeting, in presence of all the good
angels, hence it's policy to rebuke
the shortcomings of the race in a
spirit of clanish interest, in the
hope that, seeing them, some good
may be the outcome. AS tongue,
this paper proposes to stand by its
people, and chasten them as pa
rent his child. Stick pin dar,

This has been splendid day-cold,
crisp and bracing. The mercury has been
staying near the bulb for time longer
than for number of years. Saturday
afternoon it was at the 10 degrees mark
aud Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock IL had
slipped down to II degrees. Then IL be.
gan to 60 further down and this morning
at lit reached the lowest point, 5 degrees

The statement that the temperature
was but five degrees above was given out
at the city engineers Office. The instru-
ment used for recording the temperature
Is in rather elevated position. aud SO the
readings do not always correspond with
those OF thermometers down on the side
walk. In some places zero was recorded.
Since morning the temperature has
81 ghtly moderated.
This has been the longest coldest snap
for number Of years. Perhaps tho old
est iuhabitant can remember longer
one, but there has been none recently
Ihere was zero weather his year for
the first time since 1883, when, on jan
nary -, the temperature went down to
hve degrees below. For the seven years
preceding the mercury went below the
zero scratch. On January "a, 1882, the
cold was fearful and the temperature
was at il degrees below. But these cold
snaps Were short and not lingering for
more than two or three DAYS.
