MAYOR PASCHAL.
And the Council are as Worthy of
Confidence as They Were
When Elected.

To the Daily LIGHT.
Should a stranger read the edit
orials of the Express concerning
the sewer proposition to be voted
upon in a few days, he would be
bound to conclude that the mayor
and aldermen of San Antonio were
in all respects untrustwOrthy,
were adopts in trickery, and were
trying to bunco the people into
voting for sewers, in order to pro-
mote selfish and unworthy pur-
poses. All the anti-sewer COM
munications in that paper chant
the same tune.
Let us look into this affair. tits
an historical fact, that the Express
supported and helped to elect the
mayor and council in 1898, and that
it had only words of praise for them
at that time.
Take George Paschal, the mayor ;
he was born and bred in San An
tonic, and | challenge the Express
to adduce any proof Of his ever hav-
ing been guilty of corruption, in
private or public life. Why then
represent that Mayor PasChal
would connive at and sanction the
improper and corrupt use of the
sewer fund ofS5O0,0OO? 1t would be
improper and corrupt for him to
divert such fund into a campaign
fund for election purposes. The
private and public character of
George Paschal is without spot or
blemish. 1t is wholly unjustifiable
to assail the characters Of public
men, without reasonable grounds,
Take the aldermen, whom the
Express aided in putting into Of
fee, and endorsed and Landed in
the highest terms. Which one of
of them is corrupt, INSCRIPTIONS
and unprincipled? What act OF
theirs shows them to be corrupt and
unworthy of building the sewers:
Point out the act and adduce
the proof to fasten corruption on
them. Alderman Joe Beckmann's
resolutions for appointing commits.
sioners to superintend the cOnstruc-
ton of sewers and pay out the
money, did not originate, as the
Expressappears to think, from the
conviction that the council was
corrupt, but from a desire to re-
move one of the main objections
raised to the sewer propositions II
was in no sense a reflection on the
council, but was creditabll and
patriotic disposition to remove
an unreasonable and unbound
ed objection urged to the
sewer proposition, and to secure
the sewerage of the city, which il

TEMPERANCE CAUSE IN PORTLAND.
Rev. MIR. Wright Gives His People His
Views on the Subject

At st. Lawrence street church, yester
day morning, Rev. A. Fl. Wright took for
his text Isaiah lviii 1: Cry aloud,
spare not; lift up thy voice like trum-
pet and show my people their transgres-
sions and the house of Israel their sins.
The preacher said the greatest hindrance
to the temperance cause today is not the
tipping of Christians, because church
members, as a class, don't drink; but it
is indifference. They don't have the i'm
portance of the cause brought home to
them because it does not affect them OF
their families. Then there is an inditfer-
ent class of good citizens who refrain
from active temperance work because
their own self indulgence makes such
activity inconsistent. Then there is the
class too selfish and self content to de-
vote any thought to the public welfare.
Now, if all these respectable citizens, or
even all who are Christians, could COM
bine in work for the promotion of tenn
perance much could be done and the
streets swept clean of every dramshop
and drunkard.
Then there is the Indifference on the
part of many Christians who won't go to
the polls to help nominate good men for
office not perceiving that by so doing
they help on the wrongs of which they
complain. Again, the party spirit that
prevails in politics prevents many men,
who believe in temperance, from con-
certed action. If all Temperance men,
of whatever party belief, would stand
together. then Portland might be speedi-
ly redeemed from its present peril. But
party questions have more force with
them than temperance. 1t makes no diff
ference which party is in power, the re-
suit is always the same.
Mr.. Wright closed with an eloquent
appeal to the young men in behalf of
temperance.

poor and really needy ones of our city.
From 9 O'Clock a. m. to 6 o'clock p. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson distributed one
hundred and nineteen articles of clothing
at the Gospel Mission, furnished fuel for
five families, one family consisting of a
widow and four children, and the mother
sick IN her bed. it was very nearly dark
when the case was reported, and had il
not been for the immediate relief given
by Mr.. Pearson they would have been
without fire over Sunday. More applica-
tions for food were made on Saturday
than on any other day during the season,
and in some instances the applicants for
help were persons who have heretofore
been able to render assistance to
others Who can tell what a day will

Machine Fingers and Thumbs.

What is there that machinery cannot do?
A Connecticut company makes machines
capable of counting and binding in packs
500, 900 postal cards in 10 hours. The
postal cards are printed and cut by an
other machine, but this one counts them
and makes them into packs of 25 each.
The most ingenious parts of the machine
are the fingers and thumbs, SO to speak,
used in wrapping the narrow strip of paper
around each pack. The paper is pulled off
the reel by two long, slender fingers that
come up from underneath, another finger
dips itself into the box of mucilage and
daubs the end of another finger, which in
turn applies the mucilage to the narrow
strip OF paper at just the right spot. The
strip is wrapped about the pack of cards,
thumb comes up and presses the mnci-
lage part down hard, and the thing is
lone. Buffalo Commercial.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Hoyt's "a Texas Steer.n


"a Texas Steer,n which arrives at the
Portland theatre tonight fresh from its
run at the Madison Square theatre, New
York. has proved one of Hoyt's best
pieces of work. 1t is as distinct and
different from the so called farce comedy
as can be. 1t is true that it is a comedy
farcical in its nature, but it has plot,
and is story of interest from begin
ming to end. A beautiful little loves tory
runs all through it. An exquisite vein
of satire written in MI. Hoyt's best vein
and directed at politics and political
ways is an amusing feature. n
The role of GRASSY Gall, Esq.," a
lobbyist or member of the third house,
is splendid bit of work, done by New
ton Chisnell. The other political
characters are Major Yell Sawyer; Col.
Bragg, Faro Banker; Col. Blow, Bar
tender, all membe of the Farmers
Alliance. These three parts are played
by Charles Stanley, James Koran and
C. L. Warren, and are very amusing in
makeup and action.

Jumped from a Train.

A man who gave his name as Matthew
King, of Montreal, in attempting to get
off a moving train at Kennebunkport
Friday, was thrown down upon the plat
form and cut about the head, his arm
broken and crushed and his leg hurt.
He was brought to this city and taken to
the Maine General Hospital, where it
was found necessary to amputate his
arm. He was doing well atlast accounts
and will probably recover.
