San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-09-26

what the devil does when he get
out of tares. The devil was neve
caught in that predicament since
he took that summer day tumble
over the heavenly battlements.
Between their desire to make
good their party threats agains
the federal elections law, and theiI
laundering after the COlOred vote
the democrats are like a burrO be
tween two bundles of fodder.
Sam Jones jumps into the arena
for silver repeal. The dollars of
the daddies at 2 % to | ratio would
be an awful load for the Reverend
Sam to carry away as his weeks
wages for fighting Satan.
There are more catch words that
mean everything, something and
nothing in, the vocabulary of the
scrub politician, than there are
cuss words in the lingo of an old
time Texas COW punCher.
There is nothing encouraging or
new in the congressional situation.
If the house will get down to bust
ness on tariff as soon as possible
and let the worst be known the
country will gain by it.
Texas will suffer less than any
other section of the union in the
disaster that will OVertake the
country under free trade policies,
but she will lose millions in the
free wool foolishness.
There is not a political manager
in Texas can fix a date for the ap-
pearance of acrobat har mOny on
the state stage. They are all ad-
vertising his coming, but none of
them can fix the date.
The latest, the very latest, is the
Esther Cleveland waltz. The steps
are said to be the same that her
stately pre- cedent took when she
made her appearance before the
lOrdly Ahazuerus.
When it is considered what rep
utatiOns some fools have made for
wisdom on the strength of their
silence, one wonders at the long
drawn out speeches of some NOM
bers of congress.
The Senate of the United States
has served notice on Grover and
Voorhees, that they will not be
driven. Voorhees, is waiting for
them to get tired and then he will
put in the spur.
The money Of the people is as
good as that of a private individ-
ual, and the city should be able to
get its contracts signed at the same
figures as private parties pay for
the same work.
The people are not such fools that
they cannot draw the distinction
between free and full discussion
and it's abuse. 1t is it's abuse in the
United States Senate that is now
complained of.
Money is easier in the east.
Easier to get, easier to let and
easier to hold without seeking it
into some secret receptacle. 1t will
soon be easy as an old shoe in both
east and west.
Gladstone proposes to put the
Lords on record some time before
his cabinet is dissolved and he goes
before the people for his vindica-
ton. The fight is between them
and reform.
There is very close watch being
kept on every contract that the
city makes. The impression is
general that San Antonio pays too
much for her work and has paid
for years.
1t is said that if Voorhees, will
press the silver repeal button in
the Senate that there are repeal
votes enough in that American
house of lords to insure it's pas
sage.
The VerbOsity and tediOusness of
the modern pulpit is lost in the
shade of the larger and denser
wordiness that dwells in the state
and national halls of legislation.
The steam that arises from these
streets these muggy days puts one
out of conceit with a Turkish bath,
like a flower girl that grows sick
at the scent of roses.
Brazil is undoubtedly preparing
to give PaiXoto the grand bounce,
Just as Chile gave it to Balmace-
da last year. 1t is way that these
republics have.
The one baldheaded fact that
the dedication of the Texas build
ing gave emphasis to was that the
great state of Texas had no exhibit
at the fair.
