Wires Down Again"

From the Daily Express.
The projectors Of the Gulf Shore must
by this time be truly sorry they ever
undertook to bring that road to San
Antonio. They have met with nothing
but encouragement from the very in
cipiency of the enterprise. The promised
subscription OF 100000 halted at the
halfway house. Then, when ready to be
gin construction, the Council baked in
the matter of right-of-way. The public
became indignant and a tardy concession
was wrung from the powers that be,
coupled with the unusual proviSo that a
heavy bond should be made to indemnify
the public for such accidents as might
occur on the line within the city limits
as though the Gulf Shore corporation
were exempt from tie ordinary judgments
of courts OF law. The bond was made
and again an attempt was made to get
the material part OF the enterprise under
way. But the end of the lingering agony
was not yet Mayor Paschal came to the
front with one of those objections" for
which he has become somewhat famous.
He would not accept the bond until the
directors of the road met and approved
it. Why, God and Mayor Pasch8l only
know. 1t was executed by the president
OF the company, was legal and binding
instrument and there was no question as
to the sOlveDcy OF the SuretieS. 1t will
the Express is informed, require ten days
notice TO secure meeting of the board of
directors to Surmount the Mayors "obiec-
ton" In the meantime the laborers must
wait with such patience as their arder
will permit. They may not have a scrap
| of bread for their babies or mouthful
| for themselves, but perchance the super
intendent Of the Relief Society can find
| another hold-up for them. They elected
| Mayor Paschal on a progressive" ticket,
but did not suppose he would set the pace
[ toward the poorhouSe. But there is a
more serious consideration than holding
few hundred men I'm enforced idle
| ness who are anxious to earn the
| bread they eat. We can all go down
in our pockets and fish up stray dimes for
them if they manifest disposition to die
on their feet, but we cannot convince cap
| italists who may be tempted to invest
| their money here that we have an admin
| istratiOn favorable TO industrial enter
priseS. We cannot consistently assure
projectors of other railways that San An
| tonic will extend to them every possible
| aid and encOuragement-that she will
bring a cOrOllary rather than want a
spirit" These peevish objections" on
/ the part Of Mayor Paschal, this ever
| lasting winding and unwinding of the
| red tape Of a ridiculous circumlocution
| office is giving San Antonio a very black
| eye in commercial and industrial circles.

TEUToNIC KICK
Upon the Subject of Delinquent
Taxpayers.

Upon the Subject of Delinquent
Taxpayers.
The following appears in today's issue of
The Texas StaatsZeitung.
The holding Of meetings that have TAX
en- place during this week in the different
wards for the purpose of electing dele
18th Of May at which resolutions are to
ton, furnish ample proof that the tax
paying people are convinced that they
must take an action and practical hand
in the adjustment of the City's admins
tration in order to avoid the shameful
abuse of its interests.
The discOntent.of the people regarding
the action OF the administration in which
they compromised with back taxpayers is
general. The best proof of this is the
many speeches that have been made at
the different meetings. 1t also seems to
US that great injustice has been done to
the prompt taxpayers in demanding full
payment of them, when, on the other
hand favors are being shown to the tarGy
and dilatOry ones, and instead of putting
fines on them, to show them favorE.
VIII the convention attain the desired
object? We would like to see 1t, but fear
that the administration will not accede
to the wishes of the people.
Has not all and everything that might
have been useful and Of advantage 10 the
people been thwarted by the stub6ornness
Of the administration
Unfortunately they hold the power and
it now seems that they will continue to
abuse it until the next election will make
an end of it.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
[BY Col. JAS. P. NEwCoMB.

| By Col. JAS. L. NEWCOMB.
The Gulf Shore Railroad com.
pany was granted right of way over
the streets of the city on certain
conditions, one Of which was, that
they should furnish a $4,000 bond
to hold the city harmless from
damages caused by the building OF
the road over the streets.
Instead of furnishing this bond
the Company attempts to go to
work tearing up the streets, and
are stopped by the city.
Not only do they disregard the
condition of the franchise but set
at defiance the ordinances of the
city. Now, this is going too far; it
is presumIng too much on public
opinion.
The mayor has not yet been pre-
scented with bond for his approx
al. The company had abundant
time to get up a bond and have it
approved by their directors.
Does it not occur to every right
thinking man in the city that
there has been too much buster
and two little business about these
Gulf Shore people.
Mayor Paschal has only done his
duty as the chief executive officer
of the city, land is in no way respon-
sible for the troubles of the Gulf
Shore people.
Whenever there is any little
hitch about the road, the threat is
made that Capt. Davis will move
to Velasco. Better give bond and
with the ordinances of the
city, and stop talking about going
to Velasco.

II was New Years eve in that cold
and glorious climate where the snow
lies on the bosom of the earth like q
protecting mantle from December to
March and the nights are crisp and
cold. with resinous tang in the air,
due to the forests of odorous pine.
New Years eve and the merry jingle
Of sleighbells in the little town of
Brandon made harmonious discord
that reached the ears of two people
who were having the first quarrel Of
their lives, and who presented-if they
had only known tan absurd appear
ance, one in laehrymose, the other in
a bellipercnt, state. It came about in
the strangest way, this quarrel be-
tween two married lovers who had es
tablished their lives upon firm
foundation of principle and respect, as
well as mutual love. before they took
upon themselves the responsibilities of
welded life
These were the first holidays since
their wedding and they had antici-
pated season of quiet enjoyment with
each other, and now they were hardly
on speaking terms. And there was no
one to blame but themselves.
It happened in this way; Alice, Mrs.
Eversham. had been very anxious to
make her husband, Horace, a New
Years present. but had refrained
from prudential reasons. They were
saving money to pay on home and
were exercising rigid economy in
which both were equally interested.
II Horace went without cigars and
other Injuries. his wife gave up hav-
ing afternoon teas, and hired only one
domestic, who worked by the day. A
certain amount was reserved for char
ity, and as the end OF the year ap-
preached and cold weather brought
extra demands, this fund gave ont and
there were several cases of restitution
which they could not relieve, but were
compelled to hand over to the char
table society of the church
Therefore 1t was at Alice's own sug-
Vestion that the society got up a bazar
for the sale of contributed goods, and
took the proceeds to ameliorate the
conditions of their poor.
This was the beginning Of the
trouble, When the sales were over,
they took the things that remained un-
sold and put them up at so much a
chance. Alice had put her foot down
--it was very pretty foot--against
the proceedings but had been over
persuaded that II was perfectly right,
v tie church would sanction it. Still,
she only gave negative consent, for
She would neither buy nor sell any Of
the chances. Int when one Of her
Young friends took couple of chances

SECRETARY GRESHAM ISSUES A
LETTER.
Information Laid Before the House on
the Arrangements With Great
Britain.

Washington, Dec. II. Secretary
Gresham has sent the house letter
in answer TO the resolution calling FOL
an explanation of his reasons for ar,
ranging with Great Britain for the
payment of S425, 900 In settlement OF
claims Of British sealing vessels In
the course Of the letter he says:
1.-THE Paris tribunal of arbitration
found a number of British sealing
vessels to have been seized In Bering
sea, or warned therefrom by cruisers
Of the United States leaving for fur
Their determination the questions us
to the value of the said vessels or con-
tents. Ii the plan of settlement sug.
gested Is not acceptable to congress
the questions must be determined
either by the organization OF a joint
commission or by negotiations be-
tween the two governments
Experience has shown an inter-
national commissions to be slow and
expensive. 1t will appear from the
submitted correspondence that an
agreement to pay lump sum Of S425,-
600 In full settlement Of all demands
was authorized to be made under the
treaty and the award was proposed
by this government. The amount ls
considerably below the damages
claimed by Great Britain, exclusive OF
interest for a number OF years
In concluding Secretary Gresham
recommends prompt and final settle
ment of the controversy by the ap.
preparation OF the sum named.
