in a few ticks for the "Pops."
Although the street car compa.
ny's income stops in a tie-up, the
interest on the bonds go On just the
same.
The city council should compel
President Weiss to run his cars, or
give the right of way over the
streets to some other company.
The street car men have so far
been well-behaved, and if there
has been any mischief done, it has
been by outside sympathizers.
The endorsement Of both Hogg
and Cleveland by the Democratic
State platform took the cake for
inconsistency.
The suffering property owners
on Soledad and North Flores
streets, should petition the city
council to abate the nuisance of
the car tracks on those streets.
The LIGHT and Express will
contribute more cash to buy bread
for the hungry, than any of the
loud-mouthed walking delegates
who abuse us.
One poor fellow last night mot a
street car NAM said he and his
family had been living some time
on wind. The poor wife and child
might have Jared badly on wind,
but the speaker looked like he was
full Of bad whisky.
The egg throwing act cannot be
laid at the door of the striking
street car men. The LIGHT will
bet it was done by some hoodlums,
or walking delegates who would
not work il they got 81 day.
People who have bought and
sold property in the suburbs on
the inducement OF having street
car transportation, have a right to
ask for damages for the cars not
running.
Dame Rumor has it that a prom
Using young cigar merchant, on

come a benedict, his denials not
withstanding.
1t is rumored that the San An
tonic Street Railway company are
now offering to pay new men $3.50

old men back.
The fellow who talks the most
about what newspapers ought to
do, as rule spends but very lit
tie towards the support Of the pa
pers.
There has been enough money
spent on advertisers and advertis-
ing fakirs, to have built up, a
couple of first-class newspapers in
San Antonio.
San Antonio should support one
first-class morning paper and one
first-class afternoon paper, but it
will be several years yet before
there will be business enough to
support two morning papers.
Jack Daugherty hit the nail on
the head when he said the S. A.
Street Railway company had broke
themselves building parallel lines
of track for the purpose of keeping
out competition, and preventing
other capitalists from building lines
in this city.
If the S. A. Street Railway COM
pany cannot run so many parallel
street car lines without a loss, and
cutting down the wages, they
should get off the pot and let some
other company have a few of the
streets now monopolized by them,
San Antonio will hardly have
another morning paper until we
get 5000 or 10000 more English
reading people; or possibly some
enthusiast might drop a couple
hundred thousand trying to run
one.
A we'll posted street car man said
to the LIGHT man yesterday that
a three days tie-up Of the car lines
will cost the company more money
than would pay the employees the
| $3.50 day for six months. But
in the meantime, the poor wives
and children of the men must exist
on wind.
