San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-01-23

Squares and parks are the crown
ing glory of every city that has
any pretensions to civilized life.
The parks are the lungs of the
city; they are the delight of the
people. No expenditure of public
money is so well spent as the
money to keep the grass green, the
roses blooming, the drives and
walks clean and smooth in the
parks of the city.
With village it is different, the
fields and woods stretch up to the
narrow limits of its commerce, and
the rural life blends with the viii
lage life.
San Antonio was destined to be
a city. When incorporated, over
a century and half ago, the Spanish
authorities made public reserva-
lions along the beautiful river and
provided for public squares.
The reservation along the river
banks has been stolen by greedy
land sharks, and one of the public
squares marred by a city hall.
In 1852, when the then rulers of
the city were dividing out the
rich spoil of the city's public lands,
they had a generous streak and
left park at the head of the San
Pedro.
1t is one of natures gems, but has
been sadly neglected, and has been
temptation to greed and specula-
ton. The city leased it for twenty
years to a private citizen, who used
it as public resort.
Eminent lawyers, such as the
late, Judge T. j. Devine, rendered
opinions that the park was public
common and could not be leased.
Still the city leased it, until finally
during the Callaghan reign the
city took charge of the park as a
public park.
Now comes certain parties, and
ask the city to lease them the park
for twenty years, to give fairs and
punch and judy shows, on the
grounds that they are very public
spirited citizens.
This won't do. If these gentle
men, and some of them are city
cOuncilmen, want to show their
public spirit, let them put their
hands in their own pockets, instead
Of into the pocket of the people,
and start their show on grounds in
dependent of the city parks.
The people protest against any
diversion of their public squares
and parks from the original pur-
pose.
a rose bush. in full bloom, the
property of the people, is worth
more than fair association for
private gain.
1t is the last thing the people
will expect that the Paschal adj
ministratiOn should trade their
parks away, and barter with their
river banks.

After a Special Session, Which Lasted n
Year and Closed with Holly Waged
Contest Between the Democrats of the
Senate and the House, the Conferees of
the Latter, by Vote Of 1872 to 1O5, Give
Up the Struggle and Accept the 63f
Amendments Made to the Wilson Bill by
the Senate - Wilson, Crisp, Reed and
Cochran Have a Last word-Some Ex-
citing scenes-President's Signature Now
Awaited.
WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-The long strug-
gle over the tariff bill came to a close
when the house by a vote Of 1872 TO 1O5 de-
oidod to discharge tho house conferees
from further consideration Of the bill, re-
oede from its opposition Co the senate s
amendments and agree to the same.
1t was complete victory for the senate.
The result grew directly out Of the SEN
sational course Of events at the senate end
Of the capitol preoipitated by Senator Hill
On Friday. Up to that time tho house con-
forces had stood firm against the senate
amendments, especially on coal, iron ore
and sugar, and the temper and voice
the house was for war-war TO the end
But the indications that the Democrats Of
the senate might be unable to longer hold
majority of the votes in limo for even tho
senate bill and that the bill was in des-
peIato jeopardy forced the house Demo
Gratis to immediate action
The Democratic conferees OF the house
at last admitted that they were beaten
and that another vote could not be rislled
In tho senate-that it must either be tho
senate bill or no bill.
Settled In the Caucus.
The whole question was precipitated at
tho caucus held just before tho house con
gened, at which, after thorough review
Of the situation and speeches in favor Of
receding by Speaker Crisp, Chairman
Wilson and other, It was decided to take
the senate bill and Immediately afterward
pass separate bills placing coal, iron ore,
sugar and barbcd wire on the free list
The programme arranged in the caucus
was carried out to tho letter in the house
under an ironclad special order.
The scenes in the chamber throughout
the day and evening were exciting and at
times sensational. Tho galleries were
packed, and the members applauded their
respective leaders to the echo. The prin-
sipal speeches for and against the main
proposition were made by Chairman viii
son and Speaker Crisp on the enc hand
and exSpeaker Reed and Mr. Burrows on
tho other. Bourke Cochran Of New York
and Mr.. Tarsney of Missouri, both Demo.
cratic members Of the ways and means
