THE STREET CALLED ALAMO.

MuSha. mud mOre's the pity:
Muddy streets in this old city"
That's the theme Of this short ditty.
Mushy. sluShy. SplaShy, sDlatter.
Just about like buckwheat batter,
That's precisely what's the matter
Where the liquid mud lakes flow.
Through the street SOUTH ALAMO.
A lean and hungry cur. one day,
ESpied a bone across the way,
A marrow bone. which tempting lay
Across the Steeet. on dry curb stone.
That some one there had careless thrown
But dared not cross to get that bone.
For fear he'd drown in the undertOw
OF that beaStly Street-SOuth Alamo.
There's not a cross walk. by the mass,
Laid down for human foot to pass.
From Commerce to Arkansas Pass:
The street is out of sight in mire.
And boots must be knee high or higher.
The kind once wore by ''Ne-hi-m iah,"
To wade the muddy streams that flow
Adown the Street-South Alamo.
From curb to curb a SluShy mess,
Ordained by city dads guess,
To ruin every decent dress
By lass and lady worn upon it,
just try it once, depend upon it
A ruined dress and Spattered bonnet
Will tell the tale of female woe
Along that mud plashed-AIamO.

1t will be a decided gain for the
Republic across the Rio Grande
that she substitutes the horses
legs for the bulls horns as a ma
tiOnal sport. She will escape the
horns Of a dilemma thereby.
If the New York Democracy sue
coed in knocking Tammany on the
head long enough to cage the uh-
ruly cat, what will become of David
B. Hill in the scrimmage? Cleve-
land will not tell any one.
Congress assemblies on the first
of next week, and before that week
closes the country will wonder
what it kept Thanksgiving for, I'M
less it was because Congress did
not continue its session.
The income tax does not strike
favOrably the man with a fat sala-
~, but it is coming and coming to
stay. The working people want
some certain way of realizing taxes
from the man Of means.
The old cry of multiplication
will be raised by the Bourbon jour
mails of the south, but the indus
tries and commerce of that section
cry out in their need for the saw.
ing hand of protection.
Congress cannot settle the Ques-
ton of American industries by
adopting measures for their de-
structiOn. This is something that
the Democracy may as we'll under.
stand now as later.
1t is unusually cold in Mexico
and also in the north. Extremes

bringing on a senseless and expen-
sive litigation that cannot re-
dOund to either the cred
it or the increased finances
of the city treasury. 1t
does seem that the basis of such
amicable settlement is presented in
the propositions of the Water
works company, and it is sincere
ly to be hoped that the conserva-
tive members of the city council
will consider this proposal in the
spirit in which it is submitted, and
not deem it their duty to be guided
in this matter by those who would
only be too glad to involve the city
and the company in an endless
controversy, possibly for their own
personal ends. San Antonio will
be wise to end this matter here,
and devote her attention to the i'm
portant matters OF sewerage and
street improvement, matters con-
corning which there is no reason
able ground of controversy.
The real patriotism of the coun-
try will hail with glad acceptance
any legislation that has for it's OBJ
ject the severance of church and
state, compelling the propagandists
of religious faiths on foreign soil
to look to themselves and not to
this government for protection.
There is no more fruitful source Of
complication with foreign govern
ments than this attempt to make
the National government stand
sponsor for the safety of those
who have invaded foreign lands to
DESTROY the religious beliefs of
their peoples. The time to stop
such foolishness is before you be-
gin it.

Every additional light that is
thrown upon Hawaiian affairs
shows to what depths BlOunt has
descended in misrepresenting the
real condition of that kingdom. He
is the creature of a conspiracy that
he had not the sense to see and
avoid. He has been made the tool
of that debauChed queen.
The tramp has come in as dis
turbing element into the body Of
our state and municipal govern
ments, and he will take root there
unless the National government
interpose for his removal by the
enactment of wisely drafted
measure of restricted immigration.
There is rain enough to make
the grass grow, provided there is
warmth enough in the soil, and
these summer days seem to assure
that. Could this weather last a
month the question would be set

the Bethel Sunday School. Mr..

The Gazette that the membership
of the school was steadily increasing
and numbered at the present time
over sixty. Christmas eve, the
public school house which is the
place of meeting of the Bethel
school, was crowded with people
who had assembled to participate in
the festivities attending the fitting
up of a large Christmas Tree, laden
with handsome presents for the little
children. The committee of ar
rangements were Mesdames Indai
Clark, John Trahan and Messrs. w.

Thomas Huffpauir who deserve a
great deal of credit for the thorough
manner in which the whole program
was carried out.

brings the total up to the extraordi-
nary figure of 400, 900 copies, an
unprecedented result in the history
of magazines. Four hundred thou

million Pages-enough to fill 200

single line, in close order, this
would be file of wagons more than

not less than 2, 900, 900 readers, scat
tered throughout every town and
village in the United States. The
course of The Cosmopolitan for the
past twelve months may be COM
pared to that of a rolling SNOWFALL;
more subscribers means more money
spent in buying the best articles and
best illustrations in the world; better
illustrations and better articles
mean more subscribers, and SO the
two things are acting and reacting
upon each other until it seems pro-
bable that the day is not far distant
when the magazine publisher will
be able to give SO excellent an article
that it will claim the attention of
every intelligent reader in the

The Gazette was exactly
right in its reference to people taking
cane from cars loaded for forward
ing. 1t should be understood that
the farmer is the one who suffers the
loss of every sugar cane taken from
his shipment; as settlements are made
on delivery weights. While in the
single instance it may seem very
small matter, still in the aggregate
it becomes very important, and oc-
casions great loss to those who can
lily afford it. 1t certainly would
not be permitted for any one to take
cotton from bale. If such were
done it would be considered in the
light of a theft, and the party would
be held amenable to the law. Why
then should not the same rule apply
to those who take cane not belonging
to them. Now that our people are
going extensively into cane culture,
they must be protected in this par
ticular matter. Let the parish and
corporations pass proper laws af-
fording the necessary protection.
