SHORT SNAPPERs.

They say a pole-cat would dis
grace itself by irrigating on a
padrOne.
| The LIGHT is not bantering
words with every blackguard who
rushes into print.
Mexican firemen would be a
novclty-the "pOwer behind the
| throne" likes novelties.
If Paschal doesn't muZzle his
watchdog his visitors will steer
clear of the mayors office.
Nobody blames Collins for
cribbing the river-has he consult
ed the power behind the throne"
The mayor will wake up some
fine spring morning and eXclaim:
"Save me from my particular FRIEND,
Oh Lord"
The most serious thing the pres
ent administration will be held
responsible for are the acts of "the
power behind the throne"
If the taxpayers and residents OF
Ward Three say they do not want
the Castro street bridge, the LIGHT
will rest perfectly content.
Recorder Shardein let's the
tramps go if they promise to leave
town but it never happens that a
Mexican tramp is in the bunch.
The public do not require a
kick, hint is sufficient. If you
want anything of the city go to
the "power behind the throne"
Policeman Porter stands A NO. l
in the force when it comes to tack
ling a slightly inebriated pugilist.
The feather weights prevail on the
force.
The LIGHT has survived the
birth and death of a number of San
Antonio newspapers in the past
fourteen years, and still shines
brightly.
The manager Of the Light is re-
sponsible to no one for whatever
his shortcomings may be, but His
Creator, His Own Conscience, and
the laws of the country.
Alderman Jack Daugherty says
the people of the Third ward are
| entitled to that bridge, and that he
has no apology to make to the
"pOwer behind the throne"
The writer of Short Snappers
has all due respect for our worthy
| mayor, and sympathises with him,
| in being unable to shake off the
barnacles Of the administration.
The ardent young politician, who
was willing, to sacrifice his person
al ambition to save the city adj
miniStratiOn would do better work
by keeping his hired SANDER writer
quiet.
1t is passing strange that because
the ':pOwer behind the throne" has
a personal grudge against the
LIGHT the people of the Third
| ward must do without bridge on
Castro street.
If the author of the dirty card
signed "Anti-Snappers" thinks
Tom Johnson is a coward" he
will have no trouble to personally
interview him from 1870 a. IN. to 6
p. m.-regular Office hours. You
may bet your money he is slow
| runner.

over the Southern Pacific from
Houston yesterday afternoon at
4 40 o'clock. The train was made
up of private car, "No. 456,"

The party was received at the

ranged appointments were unable
to do so. They are out on general
inspection tour of the entire road.
CAUSED By THE COLD WAVE.
Distressing scenes are reported
along the railroad lines by those
who have occasion to go out. The
severe nOrther of last Tuesday
night and the present cold weather
has caused the death of large num-
bers of cattle. A severe hailstUrm
prevailed at Waelder Tuesday
night, the hailstOnes being about
as large as hen eggs. Cattle are
reported dying rapidly and can
be seen Rugged together in
herds as the trains pass, and frozen
to death. The present weather
also causes inconvenience in travel
and nearly every train is delayed
a few minutes.
Bart Davis, yard switchman on
the Southern Pacific, was frozen
while on duty yesterday morning
and had to be taken home for
treatment.
