INSURANCE IN GERMANY.
Obligatory Funds Established to Keep
Workingmen from Poverty.

WOrkingmen from EOvertys
All kinds of legislation looking to
improving the condition OF the work.
;nrman fill the statute books OF the
states and the German empire. There
are obligatory pension and insurance
funds established to keep him from pow
erty and the poorhouse. The statistics
of the imperial insurance Office show
that insurance legislation, II not all
that it ought to be, or that its friends
would wish, is nevertheless great
source of satisfaction to legislators,
whose highest aim is 70 give
labor no good reason to complain
| of the government. During the past
wear 27s,777 persons were insured in
the accident branch, and 2S9,65 in the
invalid and old-age branch, l. e., were
narticipators in the benefits. Thus,
within ten years after their establish
ment, these funds are furnishing means
| of decent existence to over 100000 per
sons-l per cent. of the population
when incapacitated from work either
| bv injury or old age. Of course, were
these funds not in existence, many q
those enumerated would get support
from the communal poor funds, but =
would not be given and received as
right, but as charity, and while man.
; oould not be helped, each amount woul'
have been the merest pittance. Tn
great advantage Of the state insuranc
Is that it is given and received as
ripht-no shame being attached 7
its acceptance. The communes hav
gained, the burden once borne by thel
being now borne by the manufacturer

character which Rhea has made
peculiarly her own.
The subject Of the play is fam

tory, and possesses more than or
didary interest from a dramatic as
we'll as an historical standpoint.
Few Expresses have been called
upon to immediate themselves up

woman could have done so with
more complete resig nation than
did Josephine, the first wife of Ma
poleon, and his guiding star dur
ing the fourteen years of his early
brilliant career.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
For more than forty years the
San Pedro Springs park has been
used, recognized and legislated up
on as a public park, for the enjoy
ment and free use of the people.
Even Mr.. Gillum, whose land grab,
under decision of United States
court, covered the park, respected
it and left it as park; but it
seems that the city attorney can't
find any record of its dedication as
park, and holds that the city can
lease or sell it.
II reserving it out Of the public
lands as park, is not dedication,
v hat is it? If plating it on the
official city maps, as the streets are
plated, is not a dedication, what is
it? But if there is any doubt about
it, the City Council should at once
pass an ordinance dedicating it as
a public park, and thus put it be.
yond the reach of private avarice
or greed, or the possible financial
misfortunes of the city.
The reason assigned by an advo-
cate of the lease proposition, that
the park had ceased to be a re-
spectacle place, is an indictment
against himself and his fellow
members on the city council. If
instead of allowing it to be run as
beer garden and resort for per-
sons of loose morals, the city should
preserve it as park.
San Pedro park contains fifty
acres, it is as large as Boston Com
mon and can be made one of the
most beautiful little parks in the
world. Instead of leasing it for a
Fair business,-to be covered with
cheap buildings, race tracks, beer
and refreshment stalls, stables for
animals, tents for fakirs and hur-
dy-gurdy shOws,-the grounds
should be cleared of all buildings;
laid off in walks and drives, and
planted with trees and shrubbery.
1t is worth, at a moderate valua-
ton, 100000. If the city owns it
as a piece Of real estate it had bet
ter be sold and the money put into
the treasury than to lease it to a
private corporation for twenty
years for nothing. There is not a
citizen, outside Of those interested
in the lease scheme, who will en-
dorse either the lease or sale of the
park.
The day will come, long before
twenty years have expired, when
the park will be the brightest jewel
in the crown of the city.
The enterprising gentlemen who
compose the Fair association can
secure ground equally as desirable
as San Pedro park for their bust
ness.
Our City Council is comp osed of
men supposed to represent the
push, energy and brains of our
city. Let them show the PEG pie
that they have some title 70 this
distinction. San Antonio without
its squares and park and river
would have remained Comanche
village.
