LIGHT REFLECTIONS.
The Man at the Corner Tells what
he Sees and Hears.

AS l stood at the corner Nose,
a well known dry goods clerk,
came by and he had an unusually
discons olate look upon his ruddy
countenance. "Hello Mose," said
/, "what's the matter, you look
weary" EYES," responded Nose,
"and so would you if you had
been in my place" How's that,'
l enquired. "Well, you see,"
answered Nose, '!just now a lady
came to my counter and said, Il

/ got last | knew she was my
customer and she had bought a
delicate parcel of me, and, as l
was trying to recollect the par
ticular make and quality, l unfor.

That settled it. The lady looked
daggers at me and left in a hurry
and l shouldn't be at all surprised
if hadn't heap of explaining to
do TO the boss. It's rough CD me
but l cannot help it." The Cor.
ner man extended his sympathy
and the genial Nose hurried off to
catch his dinner.

Two we'll known citizens had a

The twenty-five committee who
would rule San Antonio, even as
the three tailors of Tooley street
would have controlled England,
do not seem to have done much to
have attained anything beyond
gaining considerable unenviable
noteriety and ridicule. However
honest and well meaning they
may have been, they have evident
ly made a great blunder, for they
have not only injured themselves
but the city. What can the out
side world think when, unac
quainted with the true facts of the
case, they read the kilograms stat
ing that in San Antonio it is
necessary to have a vigilance COM
mittee to enforce law and order
and to get the officers to do their
sworn duty? Is this statement
likely to induce the capitalists,
manufacturers and other desirable
immigrants to come here, locate
and aid US in building up our
grand city? Certainly not, aud it
will take years to remedy the In
| jury. The Sunday law committee
have committed a great blunder
which, as Talleyrand declared, was
worse than a crime.
"There is no question:" said a
we'll known lawyer to the Corner
man, "that if the rule of law APP
piled to City Engineer Hagen is
properly and generally enforced
it will disqualify several parties
holding positions under the pres
ent city administration. The main
qualifications for Office, according
to the charter, is due residence in
the city and payment Of taxes.
On both grounds Hagen was dis
qualified but | will undertake to
prove that as regards the non
payment of taXes-which equally
disqualifies-there are many who
are clearly disqualified. The ques.
ton is simply this what will be
done in justice and equity?

There is no denying, said a
well posted citizen to the Corner
man, that it is economical and
important that every citizen
should own his own homestead.
In the first place it gives him a
stake in the city and county and
makes him take more interest in
the affairs of both, in the second
place it has the tendency to aug
ment the amount of assessment
and reduce the per centage of
taxation. Thirdly it makes him a
permanent and better citizen.
'Oh that's all right says the
majority, but how are we TO get
them; we have not the money, and
neither have we the credit to buy

cooperative plan? what's that?'
some may ask? 1t is simply this.
