The editor of the Independent
is either not very we'll informed
on county affairs himself. or he
wilfully distorted the truth to make
it fit the statement made in that
paper last week. in which he states
that when the Republicans had
control Of the affairs of this county
the Republican county clerk con-
trollcd the appointments of road
ovcrSecrs. Any one who knows
anything about county affairs.
knows that road overscerS are ap-
pointed upon petitions, and he his
politics what it may, the candidate
for appointment who presents the
largest petition from the residents
of his district, receives the appoint
mcnt. This is the manner in which
ovcrsecrs were appointed during
the first half Of the Republican ad-
miniStration, which was according
to a ruling of the county court ,
and during the latter half Of said
administration the ovcr~ccrs were
elected by the people themSels e~
at their regular school elections.
We are unable to inform our
readers what course has been
pursued by the present admin
istration in the appointment Of
ovcrs.,crs, but we are reliably i'll
formed that there are but two Or
three Republican oversecrs in tie
entire county. The agitation of
the road overScers appointments
inv the Democrats, is Il scheme to
get the candidates for such appoint
,ncnt to vote against the KcpubIi-
can nominees for county Judges
and county clerk, and it might
have worked but for the fact that
we got our paper established in
time to dcno,mee such Il despicahIc
attempt to dcludc the voters of this
county. The stampede that is now
roing on from the Democrat, will
keep ON until election day. when
they will be cverlastinyly showed

losing their hold in this county,
where they once had such Il safe

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

A small house greeted the presentation
of the Power of the Press" at the Grand
last night Many no doubt were absent
because they never attend Sunday night
performances; others, because they were
uncertain as to the merits Of the play
and it's presentation. On this latter score
there need be no hesitation. The play is
well written; has some powerful sttua-
tions; is put out in a very realistic man
ner, the scenery being well worth special
encomium; and, is presented by really
able company. There is genuine human
feeling and a deep human interest run
ming throughout the whole that moves the
spectator to genuine emotion as was evil
denced repeatedly last night. The cap
tton of the play gives no true conception
of the plot. The scenes depicted are very
natural, the recognition of " Manhattan
Club House" being instant bv all who
who had ever seen it. The ship yard
scene was also very natural with its
gangs at work. The LIGHT confidently
commends the play, which is to be re-
peated tonight to the play gOerS Of this
city, as one well worth their patronage.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Newspaper interviews, when prepared
by the reporters, is an attempt to give
the opinions of the persons interviewed
in the words of the reporter. These inter-
views are more orllesS correct, depending
upon the intelligence and accuracy Of the
reporter.
In Sundays Express appeared three
columns of interview purporLiDg to come
from eighty we'll known citizens, upon the
Water question. The people who have
read these interviews take them TO be the
genuine expression of the opinions of the
gentlemen named.
A dissection of these eighty interviews
shows that twentyseven had formed no
opinion, were too busy to talk, or refused
to be interviewed.
OF the fifty three who expressed opin-
ions, thirty-six favored the city accepting
the water company's proposition with
qualifications; nine favored proposition
city ownership, unqualifedly; four IA
ored sewers.
The interview. as whole, is fair ex-
preston of opinion in response to the
question put by the reporter, to wit:
I'm view Of the city'S financial condition,
the uncertainty regarding the successful
floating of bonds to construct sewers and
waterworks for the city for
in connection with the great
concessions in rates to both
public and private consumers offered by
the Waterworks company since the ques-
tion of building an independent system of
waterworks was first agitated, what do
you think of Alderman Daugherty's prop
osition, made at the last City Council
meeting, to reopen negotiations with the
Water company, looking to the adoption
Of the amended contract"'
Had this same question been put to
Mayor PaSchal he, no doubt, would have
responded in the same terms as the thlr-
ty-six who responded favorably to the re-
porter with varying quaItti cations.
Now if the question was predicated up
on somewhat different state of facts, for
instance: in view Of the city'S sound
financial standing; the certainty of being
able to float per cent. bonds for water
works and sewers; the ability under city
ownership of saving to the city the entire
rent of the fire hydrantS, $4,000 per an
mum, and 80 per cent. to every private
water taker, what do you think
of Alderman Daugherty'S prop
osition!' The eighty sensible
citizens would have responded almost
unanimously in favor of the city carrying
out its plan for city ownership as soon as
possible.
The truth is the people are more quiet
and contained over this Water Works
controversy than those interested in it
are aware of. If every water taker and
tax payer in the city could be interviewed
upon the question as put by the Express
reporter the result would show cOnser-
vative expression in favor of city owner
ship, provided it could be accomplished
with advantage to the taxpayers.

MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1894.
THEY DON'T WANT TO.

Translated for the Daily LIGHT from the
Freie Presse Fuer Texas, Of Ma rch
20, 1894
In his speech at the last Council meet
ing favoring the acceptance of the pro-
posed contract of the WaterWOrks COM
pany, Alderman Daagherty was suddenly
interrupted, and Mayor Paschal unblush-
ingly gave the deciding vote for adjourn
nent of the Council meeting.
BY this action the Alderman has lost
twas denied the privilege and opportunity
to substantiate his appreciation, and not
only this, but the discussion OF the sub
iect see ms to have been dtsagreeable to a
majority of the aldermen, the mayor In
cluded, otherwise this act of rude incivil-
lily to deprive the speaker of his privilege
by motion to adjourn would not have
been committed.
Not even discussion OF the question is
to be entered into. This manner or way
of acting gives room for thought There
must be some plan with which the people
are to be surprised some day. But is this
every embroyo prospect ofsuch character
that it can not be discussed and that it is
feared something of it might get before
the public?
The people have a good memory re-
garding these transactions and will re-
member them at the proper opportunity.
We have proposition of the Waterworks
company that should either be accepted
or rejected. If a majority of the council
is not yet satisfied with the propositions
so far made, they should say so and eX-
plain their doubts. But it looks suspic-
ious that this matter is being put off from
day to day or month to month, is being
avoided, and any attempt to get the sub
ject within reach of discussion is being
suppressed by means Of impertinent par
liamentary rules.
The council owes it to the people to ex-
plain its actions, but apparently seems to
think that it is not any more responsible
to its constituents for its actions. other
wise several other transactions would not
have taken place.
Could not the people be given an in
sight into the deliberations regarding the
Waterworks company in order to refute
or contradict the assumed position as In
dictated by the local press with but one
exception? Had it not been resolved to
gather all documents and deliberations
regarding the matter and have them
printed? What haze become of them? We
and the people who could have saved 20
per cent for some months past on their
water rates, are waiting for them.
On one point we can give the admins
tration some information and that is,
that the people will, under no COnsidera-
ton, allow or vote for a million OF dollars
LOT JD6 erection Ol new wafer WI ms
until it can be shown that the
new works will furnish a cheaper water
then the existing one, and as it proposes
doing in the last proposition, and that is
hardly possible While in accepting the
contract we will have cheap wafer the
city's Indebtedness or taxation will not be
increased, as it would have been required
to create a sinking fund to raise money
for paying interest. But they don't want
to! Why? Quien Sabe!
