1t is the second time sewer
proposition has been submitted to
the taxpayers. The first time was
under Mayor Callaghan's admins
tration, when Mr.. Humphreys,
plan has suggested. The PROPOSE
ton was defeated.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-07-30

The Callaghan proposition was
opposed because the city had no
free water to flush sewers, and the
burden of expense to keep up the
system was beyond reason.

The sewer question has rested
for several years, Notwithstanding
the continuous hammering of the
Express and LIGHT in favor Of
sewers, and now, when all the con-
ditions are favorable, the question
is again to be submitted, and we
find that the opposition springs
principally from the most selfish
sources.

Because Mayor Paschal defends
his administration and favors sew
ers is no good reason for even his
political opponents TO oppose sew
ers.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-07-30

Not a single opponent of the sew
ers will say that sewers are not
needed, and that we must have
sewers or give up the town, but
they want to postpone the ques-
tion for a few months, when they
can use it as an electioneering trick
to control the city election.

Because Judge Callaghan OPP
poses sewers is no good reason that
the people who are not manipulate
ing the local elections should do Sc
also.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-07-30

There is too much politics in the
business. Mayor Paschal is ac-
cused of wanting to use the money
to carry the county election for the
"big FOUR" hence the "big three"
are industrious in circulating all
kinds Of objections to the propo-
sition.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-07-30

The people need feel no concern
for the welfare Of the "big three"
or the "big four" The best way is
to smash these combinations at
the ballot box, and it can be done.

The Secretary of Agriculture says some-

WASHINGTON, FEB. 22.-Sccretary of
Agriculture Morton has written a letter 10
Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania
defending himself against the structures
made against him for his position on the
question of government aid in the exter-
mnation of the Canada thistle and other
matters affecting agricultural interests.
lie encloses letter which he wrote to
Governor Shortridse of North Dakota, in
which the following language occurs: No
one more than myself appreciates the I'M
portance of the determination of this and
other noxious weeds which infcst tho
farms of the United States, but do not
think il the business for the government
to destroy weeds for the people any more
than 70 raise wheat for them or cut corn
by appropriations from the public funds
He adls that the government having given
lands TO homestcaders, they should be in
spred to bring them 10 the highest state
of cultivation, and the law OF self preser-
vation should teach them 10 apply "cyery
means at their command FOR either
utilizing or forcxterminating the Prussian
thistle" Morton quotes from letters from
editors and from editorials in agricultural
papers in Manitoba and Dakota to the el-
feet that the thistle is very valuable as
fodder or as a fertilizer. The secretary
| says. in view of the diversity of opinion on
the subject, he sees no reason to change
his position as TO the propriety OF appro-
prating million dollars for its extermi-
nation. Morton in his letter TO Siblcy
continues: "lou remark that ] am re-
ported as antagonislic to the bureau OF
animal industry, opposed to the meat in
| spection aud adverse to the distribution
of seeds to farmers" and adus that he
has sent Sibley n copy of his annual re-
| port for 1898, and asks him 10 read it to
learn his views. He says Sibley cites
other reported uttcrances which arc wIth.
ont foundation or greatly distorted. AMI
closes as follows: Having lived ia the
country, on the same farm, among real
farmers, nearly 40 years, | have a very
strong, abiding interest in the welfare Of
American agriculture and wholesome,
honest ambition, in every legitimate man
