SAN ANTONIO, July s, 1898.
To the Daily LIGHT:
Having just returned from a
very pleasant trip in company
with Mr.. August Santleben includ-
ing a visit to Mr.. a nd Mrs. Dobos-
sy's at their beautiful vintage and
orchard farm in Kendall county,
you will admit that your article on
July 9Th, 1898 "Looking Back
ward" was a source of annoyance
from its untruthfulness as far as it
relates to Mrs. Dobossy formerly
Mrs. Pcntcnrieder, you recklessly
assert that "alias Pentenrieder's
widow, is now on the outskirts Of
the city in the Asylum" Know
ing the falsity Of this assertion and
believing that you were only mis-
informed and do not Intentionally
want to injure any person, would
suggest that you send your repor-
ter to said Asylum, and permit
Mrs. Dobossy to enjoy her happy
home, on her farm in Kendall
county. Respectfully Yours,
ALBERT MEYER.

They Met This Morning.

The mayor and special finance
committee held long meeting at
the City Hall this morning dis
cussing the financial situation. No
direct information was furnished
the LIGHT reporter of what was
done, but it is whispered that
Mayor Paschal has secured the
necessary funds to pay the en-
plOyes. 1t is also said that Col,
Breckenridge is more inclined for
a compromise today, and that if he
cannot get his full pound of flesh,
will take little on account.

would have starved. 1t is terrible
to think what that poor woman

so hard and was half so faithful

Why, the poor woman even built

DEMOCRATIC FIGHT AGAINST THE CAR.
COUPLER BILL

The Democratic party never made
more shameless exhibition of itself and
open reputation of its platform profess
sions than it did in the recent all-night
attempt to defeat the car-cOupler bill
in the national House of Representa-
tives.- The Democratic platform adopt
ed at Chicago last summer contains the
following:
Section 10. We favor legislation by Con-
gress and State legislatures TO protect the
lives and limbs of railway employees and
those other hazardous transportation COM
panles. and denOunce the inactivity of the
ReDublIcan party. and particularly the Re-
publican Senate for causing the defeat of
measures beneficial and protective to this
class OF wage-workers.
The Republican platform contained a
has been asked for by labor Organiza-
lions. President Harrison has recon-
mended it in every annual message that
he has sent to Congress. After neg
lecting the matter too long, the Senate
at last passed bill requiring all rail-
roads, on or before a certain date, to be
equipped with safety car couplers. The
bill is now pending in the House, and if
passed by that body would be promptly
signed by President Harrison. In order
Democrats in the House. aided by the
Speaker, held the House in a dead
lock from o'clock in the after
noon until after daybreak the next
morning. devOtipg the whole night
to filibustering efforts to kill the
car-coupler bill. The efforts of the fill
busters disclosed the existence of an or
ganizatiOn animated by common pur-
pose and inspired by determination
that could have had only one object,
viz, the protection of the railroads
against the demands of their employees,
backed and fortified by the demand of
humanity for better protection of those
engaged in the hazardous business of
car coupling. For eighteen hours the
Democrats in the House, led by the
Speaker, fought the fight of the railroad
corporations against their employees,
while every Republican in the House,
aided by some Democrats, stood solidly
in favor of the bill which had already
passed a Republican Senate. During
this long and angry session it was
demonstrated beyond a doubt that the
railroad corporations of the country
have the Democratic party and the or
Ranization of the House by the throat.
At one point. when Mr.. Lind, of Mime
sofa, sent the Democratic platform to
the Speakers desk with the car coupler
plank marked. to be read. the Speaker
said: 1.-The Chair thinks he could hardly
bold, under any suggestion as a matter
of privilege, that the gentleman can rise
here and read any dec lration of any
number of citizens as to what they be-
lieve or do not believe" In this way
the Democratic Speaker prevented the
reading of portion of the Democratic
F., platform and sought to keep it out of
the Congressional Record. He also
tried. though without success, to pre-
vent the reading Of telegram announc-

ing that the locomotive engineers of the
country were unanimously in favor of
the passage of the car-coupler bill. be-
lieving that If il became law and it's
provisions were enforced, it would be
the means of saving hundreds of lives
annually. Along towards morning the
outspoken young Populist. Watson. of
Georgia, made o speech in which he said:
While this very debate has been goIn on
men have lost their lives by the selfish re-
fusal OF these corporations 10 spend money
In buying these safety appliances. The ap-
peal of labor comes to this chamber. Each
one of the parties pretended in the last
election that they would heed this appeal.
and now, when the election is over and the
corporations send their orders in to this
Honse. We are asked like towards to bend
racy instead of hearing the demand or
labor. MIR. Speaker, appeal to this major
1ty. Let uS assert our manhood one time;
let US make rhe minority yield one time:
let us make the corporations retreat one
time; let Us stand by the people one time,
and We will go home having redeemed IN
some measure the otherwise discreditable
record of the Fifty-second Congress.
The appeal was in vain. The railroad
magnates who contributed SO largely to
the Democratic campaign fund and the
election of Grover Cleveland were crack
ing their whips over Democratic heads.
and the fight against the bill went on.
Among all the betrayals of platform
professions which have been made by
Democrats this was, perhaps. the most
open and shameless.

M'KINLEY'S DEBTS.

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY has been beggared
by his iniudiolous loyalty to q personal
frlend.-Chicago Mail.
THE pecuniary difficulties which beset
Governor Mckinley were wholly due to
careless generosity, and do not in any wise
reflect upon his lntegrity.-St Louis Post

THE determination of Governor MoKin-
ley to pay every dollar for which he is
bound is highly creditabie to him, but the
world would not esteem him less If he
should leave his wife's inheritance IN
tOuohed.-Kansas City Journal.
COMMENTS of some of the Democratic
and mugwump journals on Governor Nc
Kinley's business misfortunes strongly aug.
gest that they inherit the vindictivenees
AS well as the tariff views OF the ante-bel-
lum shareholders. Boston Journal.
In Cobden's case the British people in
sisted that no such disaster should cause
his withdrawal from public life. In Mo-
Kinley's case we believe that the American
people will refuse to permit his retirement
from the public service.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The most contemptib and cowardly
fling thus far aimed at Governor McKin.
ley is that of the mugwump Providence
Journal. which cannot control itself for
JOY over his financial EN- barrassment and
probable ruin, and kicks him while he is
down.-MinneapOlis Tribune.
HIS public course has been ardently and
honestly for protection of material inter-
ests on the plan adopted by his party. and
in which he thoroughly believed. He has
been constant, able and unseltish, and to
permit him TO be embarrassed financially
now would tie burning shame.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
GovERNoR MCKINLEY will have the gen.
eral and sincere sympathy of all fair
minded citizens throughout the country in
his financial misfortune. He is utterly
bankrupted by business failure that was
not of his own direction. and he falls like
many other generous men. by his faith in
his friends Times.
In view of this great misfortune Governor
Mckinley is reported as bravely saying
that he would begin life over again. and
that no man should lose cent who had
lent money on the strength of his name.
To such man the sympathies of polite al
opponents well as friends will go out in
generous measure.-New York Recorder.
THE entire country Will sincerely sympa-
thize with Governor Mckinley in this hour
of misfortune. He has passed his entire
life In active politics and has champloned
an economic cause which has brought him
many political enemies, but not q word of
scandal ever has been uttered against him.

cial reverses will only serve to bind closer

In advocating and voting for the propo-

the gross or net earnings of corpora
tions may be taxed. After declaring in
thousands of speeches and hundreds of
platforms that corporations do not pay
their full share of taxation, and pledg-

ing with historical inconsistency for
the Democrats in the Indiana Senate
to vote almost solidly against the propo-
