San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-01-05
LITTLE PlCKUPS.

Trans San Pedro is alive, while the
casts iderS are in dull stupor, about the
city election.
Is il not strange that so far none of the
present aldermen have announced for re-
election? Monet They looked into the
expenses they incurred, and the very lit
tie that the people can, see therefor.
"Strange. tits passing strange"
1t is confidently expected that the
Courthouse Commissioners lnVeStiga-
ton Report will be recommended 10 the
Judge of the 37th district court, To instruct
his grand juries that their interference in
county matters is expensive and worry
some, and to let such things alone in the
future.
Why don't the county commissioners
court take care of Modesto Torres, If he
has been promised anything, Jet him have
it, or the city candidates will have no
rest for this able partisan OF doubtful
politics.
L. Wolfson is getting rid of his holiday
remnants by the cart load. There seems
no let up to the holiday rush at this
house.
Our Short Stops are much appreciated
by tine readers of the LIGHT, but "Shorl
Stop by the First National bank OF
San Antonio will not be appreciated by
our city officials to whom Ex-Mayor
Callaghan belongs no longer.
The Oriole will do less yachting In the
future.
There are few more good births to
give away after the election of our next
mayor than two 2 years ago. How many
applicants will have them promised and
how many will be disappointed. Proml-
ses are rarely kept, political promises are
nearly always kept In the breath.
Rain in the face was happy last night.
Will San Antonio have 4 Democratic
and Republican city tickets in the field
or will San Pedro run everythingfts own
way. The Clark democracy and the ne
gro republicans were rather strong here
last November. but there is no record of
their victim, at Washington, Austin or
at home. What will Trans San Pedro
do?
1t is thought Mrs. George Paschal will
let George Paschal run for mayor, II he
wants to- but Is he not in the same pre-
dicament that Mr.. FroboeSe was In? Was
he not recently elected by comparative
ly much larger vote than Mr.. Froboese, TO
a lucrative office. The LIGHT does not
think Mr.. Paschall will announce.

against the city, the judgment ought TO
be against the mayor and councilmen in
dividuaIly and not against the taxpayers,
who approved by their votes. Nickel
Johns prediction for George Clark,
what caused all the trouble.
A Compliment to an Absentee-While
Mr.. II. Heilig was on his drummer rounds
the people of Castroville ran, and elected,
him for mayor-he knew nothing 1t.
The candidate for mayor here is aptto
find out good deal before he is elected.
B. +. Yoakum would be good man for
the business men to run for mayor.
Reflection by candidate
/ wish had now all my votes
Stored safely in a ballot box,
A long campaign just denotes
"Silver threads" among auburn
locks
A mayor can stand 1t, but then,
The board of equalization
Is not plum for all aldermen,
And there lies a great veXation.
The city surveyor and the marshal's place
No longer is the peoples voice,
They are made by the mayors grace,
And too many now are making noise.
