WEDNESDAY, FERRY 81, 1894
NO MONKEY BUSINESS. ~

The questions Of cheaper light
and water have been before the
City Council long enough for some
thing definite to be done in the
way Of meeting the fair demands
of the citizens, but so far, nothing
has been accomplished. 1t is ove
two months since the proposition
Of the Waterworks company was
submitted to the Council, by which
a reduction Of $1,000 a month was
assured to the city, but that prOpo-
sition was rejected and there the
matter stands. This city is
not so flush in pocket that it
can afford to throw 100000 a
year to the winds in this man
ner, and it is trifiing with the stu
alton to let matters drift. So much
for the wisdom that assumes to adj
minister the affairs of the city
economically and does not, in the
matter of water supply.
The situation in so far as lights
is concerned is no whit better. The
proposition now before the Coun-
Gil, and yer which they are hag-
Cling, would give this city the
same arc light service, with the
addition of 500 incandescent
lights, at the same figure that
Is now paid, and leave the city
with its own plant paid for at the
end Of those three years. This
proposition is the one before the
council and it is favored by
his Honor the Mayor and
those Of the council who have
an eye to the interests OF the city
first, and to their own interests
afterward. There is no use in
mincing matters. The taxpayers
Of this city will require Of the
members Of this city council the
reasons Of their rejection of a
proposition so advantageous in
every way to the city, in case that
proposition is not accepted. The
mayor has an opportunity now
to show what stuff he is
made of. Whether he is
under the dominion Of his
unofficial advisors as has been
charged, or whether he is in very
deed the head Of the ad ministra-
ton and working independently
of those who have a pull. The
same is true Of the city Legisla-
ture. The Aldermen will be held to
a strict account in this matter for
their votes. Talk is cheap, and no
protestations of regard and con.
Germ for the city will be allowed
to stand in the way of a direct
vote for the interest of the city.
The time has come for this City
Council to act and redeem it's
pledges made at the time

Manufacturers are not so much
concerned in the schedules of the
Wilson bill as the employees of the
mills r The wages will be re-
duced to make the operators good,
but what will become of the opera
tives? This is the question that
the Democratic party has persist
emily ignored.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-02-21

There is altogether too much
mOdesty among those who have
been asked to subscribe to the
bonds of the Gulf road. They
would not be half as backward in
accepting an invitation to wine.
The New York journals are hot
over the prospect of that income
tax. The country will be hot if
Congress does not pass it. 1t is hot
for the Democratic party no mat
ter which way it goes.
This waiting for the other fellow
to put up for that bond subscrip-
ton is worse than waiting for a
dead mans shoes. Put up and
then make the other fellow do
likewise.
While San Antonio wrestles with
that Gulf Shore road, Corpus
Christi is in the thrGes of a mortal
agony over her bonus for deep
water construction. Who gets there
first?
There is really very little accom-
plished by way of the circumlocu-
ton office. Direct application for
what you want is mOre,business-
like and generally more successful.
The appeal Of children for educa-
ton should sink deep into the ears
OF the citizens Of this city. There
is no duty paramount to that of
providing educational facilities.
Street work is greatly needed in
some parts Of the city, and it is
poor economy to wait until the eve
of the next city election before put
ting the idle brigade to work.
Hill has done what neither
Conkling, Summer nor EdmOnds
could accomplish, wage a success
full contest with the president of
his party. Hill is on top.
The committee on solicitation
for that Gulf road seems to prefer
to make a waiting race of it,
There is such a thing as waiting
too long.
Hill took snap judgment on

immediate confirmation Of White
Of Louisiana, to the Supreme
bench.
The road that is to be built from
here to the mouth of the BraZos
should not go begging for a 500,
600 bond subscription from this
city.
Wilson is in Mexico and it would
have been for the interest of the in
dustries Of the country if his bill
could have accompanied him.
1t is in order to employ the
patrons Of the soup houses upOr
the streets, under the supervision O
the street commissioner.
All guesscs were wide of the
mark as to who would be the
third nominee to that Supreme
court vacancy.

1t Is not what one eats but what
one assimilates that strengthens
the constitution and keeps up life's
wastage, and it is not what one
knows but the use that is made of
that knowledge that counts in the
work and success Of life.

Selfish Motives

The AdUegtiszy makes a big
showing ofthe different classes Of
men who it claims favor the
annexation Of Hawaii 70 the United
states. First and foremost stands
The officers Of the american navy.
That they nearly unanimously
advoc te annexs ton Is an uLd's-
putab.ef4ct bat that the DO it from
purely selfish motives is equally
true.
A naval station IN Hawaii would
mean an increase Of ships and
men and it would mean promotion
10 the present corps of officers. 1t
Is not likely or even possible that
the United States will be entan-
gled in any war for many year
10 come Consequently the chances
Tor advancement is very slim and
wholly dependent on the natural
dourse Of circumstances. The
plesent officers will reach their
res ective ages when their services
cease and they will drop out as
Commanders. Captains or Lieuten-
ants because the number of those
grades is limited. Fertilization
at Pearl Harbor would be well
come opportunity for the naval
men and would if realized save
many from official decapitation.
From a military point of view
Pearl Harboris absolutely useless
for the United States. If they
owned it and war should ensue
they would soon learn that Pearl
Harbor would prove itself point
of attack for any enemy rather
than a stronghold. It would be
the Achilles heel of the great
republic the stNpght of which
lies in its compact territory and
solid coast. That Admiral Walker
aud the other naval jingoes favor
annexation or at least possession
Of Pearl Harbor is easily under.
stood. The do so for selfish
motives in the interest of the navy
Individually; they don't take the
attitude as GOOD and honest citizens
Of the United States.
