Its a pity we must go through
another struggle for pie in Februa-
ry, 1895.
The Pops cut a sorry figure in
Bexar county, running against the
Big Six.
The Big Six can now rub it into
the people by taking charge OF the
city government.
Frank Umscheid was offered up
as a scape goat by the Big Six,
but they Rugged Joe Dwyer to
their bosom.
II it had not been for Houston's
bargain with the "big 6" he would
not have received 1000 votes in the
city.
The Democrats will soon be BAN
ished from the pie counter, where
upon there will be weeping, wall
ing and crashing OF teeth.
At any cost, the city government
must be kept out of the hands of
the court house gang. Do the peo-
pie catch on?
Mr.. Ben Kiolbassa says he will
demand a recount of No. II. He
knows the other side did not want
him as commissioner and says they
had their reasons.
On Monday, before the election,
there was run on the Maverick
bank building; over one hundred
"colorcd Gemmen" went up stairs
to draw their deposits.
The Mills tariff bill defeated
Cleveland in 1888, and the Wilson
tariff has just consigned the DEM
ocratic party to nonentity for
twenty-five years to come.
Cleveland has perhaps had some
of his self conceit and mulishness
knocked out Of him by the over
whelming popular reputation of
himself and his Cobdenism.
The coming municipal election
will present an excellent oppor-
tunity for dealing death blow to
trading and intriguing politicians.
The city must not pass under the

Bexar county seems to be in love
with the office holders trust, as it
has voted it new lease of power.
When men are resolved to be
dupes and slaves, they are proof
against reason and argument.
How long will the intelligent
patriotic portion of our population
tamely submit to the controlling
influence Of Doodle in our election
and to the rule Of those who auc-

The court house and SOledad
street are not as crowded as they
were when the henchmen Of the
Big Six were in attendance, to
draw their pensions, or sell their
votes.
When you see a man trimming

gance, you may safely classify him
as an ass that has strayed off
from his owner, and is braying to
let the people know he is lost.
The man who is always growing,
is an undesirable companion and a
poor citizen. He would growl if
he was in the "New Jerusalem"
where perfect happiness reigns, and
where there Is neither sorrow nor
tears.
The Express says, the program
Is to make Callaghan mayor, and
then to make Joe Dryer county
judge; but the people will snow
under Callaghan to avert the af-
Fiction OF having bovine Joe
Dwyer made county judge.
The cynic is an i'll natured, i'll
tempered, sour faced, morose, I'M
feeling fellow, who imagines him
self to be incomparably superior
to all the rest Of the world, while
in reality, he Is only bloated with
vanity and self conceit.
How some OF the men on the Big
Six ticket can take the oath re.

ing money to procure themselves
to be elected, is puzzling the peo-
pie. Perhaps they consider perjury
mere venial fault.
