A Dangerous Negro,

For sometime past a negro named
Jim Baker has been stopping in
the cellar of FrobOese & Sautleben's
business house on North Flores
street. Last night he set fire to a
pile of clothes and rags, and a large
fire would have been the result,
had it not been for the quick work
of the police authorities. Baker
was arrested on the charge of va
grancy and this morning was sent
to jail, not being able to pay 500
fine.

Well, we will see about it.
For years our city government
has been at the mercy of the San
Antonio National bank, it is high
time the city set up business for it.
self. With S30,000,0O0 assets, and
an income of half million an
nually, there is no reason why the
city should not open a bank of its
own, otherwise fit up one of the
rooms of the city hall with money
safes, etc, and require the city
treasurer to keep his money there
for the accommodation of the peo-
pie, and be open during banking
hours.
In these days OF Democratic
financiering it would be safer for
the city to have its cash under its
own lock and key. Banks are not
always the safest deposit, which is
a fact the people of San Antonio
have had sad experience of. When
bank presidents go to building
water works, dams, breweries, ETC.,
they are likely to get wild.
If Col. Breckenridge has been
carrying on an illegitimate bust
ness with the city it is time it was
stopped, and no time is better
than the present to stop it.
The attempt to give the matter
a personal character should not be
tolerated by the people. We have
nothing to do with the trouble of
our trouble has been one
of long standing but our people
are capable eff running their own
affairs.
Let the city administration act
with tirmness, the people wild not
consent to have their city govern
ment destroyed because it can't be
run to suit Col. Breckenridge. The
humblest laborer on our streets or
in the dangerous gravel pits, is en-
titled to as much consideration as
the president of the San Antonio
National bank.
One of the most serious mistakes
made by wealthy corporations is
that by the use of money they can
corrupt everything and everybody.
1t is true, lawyers can be employed,
newspapers purchased, and in rare
instances courts can be corrupted,
and ballot boxes befouled, but af-
ter all there remains the great
bulk of incOrruptible people who,
once informed, present an impass-
able barrier to the schemes of the
money power.
