WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER u, 1894.

THE natives are now told that
Judge Widemann and his assoc1-
ates have submitted to Mrs. Doml-
mis- a report which encourages the
hopes of the Restorationists. 1t is
treated as very mysterious docu-
ment by the native press, as If 1T
contained some very positive assur-
ances from President Cleveland.
Il "a quite certain that Judge Wide
mann and his associates have not
done any foolish thing, and If they
have not, then any report which
thew have made is merely state
ment that the President no longer
gives hopes of interference. Mr..
Cleveland may have expressed to
them his belief, as man and not
az an official, that his views were
not changed, but beyond that he
would not go. AS we have said
before, the late embassy was ex-
tremely polite, and, as it turns
out, entirely in the interests OF
peace and the Republic.

own friends to Congress; it has
contributed enormously to the
purses of both political parties.
It's game has always been
"heads I win, tails you lose" 1t
has not been silly enough to di-
rectly bribe, but has chosen more
subtle ways. One United States
Senator, nearly bankrupt three
years ago, has, for the last two
years, excelled all, in the extrava-
gance of his entertainments in
Washington. He lead the fight on
behalf of the Trust in the Senate.
The Trust is now the most aggres-
sive monopoly in the States, be-
cause it has abundance of money,
and has acquired great experience
in "handling" politicians. The
majority of public men are poor,
and elections are costly affairs.
The Trust comes in and contributes
in a friendly way. 1t has now
"locked horns" with the people,
and there may be bitter fight
ahead, though the small and high
Iy organized forces of the Trust
will for some time overmatch the
militia rabble of the people. That
gigantic monopoly, the Standard
Oil Company, has made its peace
with the people by giving them
cheap oil. The Western Union
Telegraph Company does likewise,
by making cheap rates. The Sugar
Trust will, if it can do so, distract
the attention of the people by
refined sugar cheap. So
the people may be educated, after
all, into the belief that Trusts are
their best friends, and should be
let alone.

A Big Deficiency.

Congress, at its present session,
has appropriated $49O,O0O,OO0, and
it is estimated that this will leave
a deficiency of $3O,OOO,OOO to be
provided for at the next session.
The amount already appropriated
is about $2O,OOO,OOO more than was
appropriated at the first session of
the fifty-frst Congress, which gave
rise to so much clamor about the
"billion dollar congress" Besides
this the treasury has issued $780,
100000 of new bonds, and is likely
to be obliged to issue more. Demo
cratic platforms used to have good
deal to say about economy in gov
eminent expenditure, but in that
of 1892 this plank was judiciously
sent to the wood pile.-Ex.

AT the informal meeting, held
last week, for the purpose of max
ing an organized effort to prevent
cruelty to animals, Attorney-Gen-
eral w. o. Smith made the remark
that cit needs o crank to run such
an organization successfully" He
concisely stated what experience
shows: that new departures, or all
movements toward getting COM
munity or a nation out of it's
grooves, have been made by cranks.
For forty years the good average
citizen in America, including those
out and within the churches, re-
garded the abolitionists as mad
cranks. The inventor Of the
Wheeler e Wilson sewing machine,
many years ago, told the editor of
this paper that he was called "the
darndest lunatic in Connecticut"
after he had perfected his machine.
Cranks set people to thinking by
pounding them, and by making
them feel uncomfortable. Provi-
dence does the same thing. When
a community becomes very care
less about sanitary matters, He
wipes off the earth lot Of men,
women and children, by disease.
This rough work sets them to think
ing. Berg, the great apostle to the
animals, was o most uncomfortable
crank. If this community can
produce one, who will lead off in
protecting animals, the movement
will be a success. Otherwise it
will not.

THE Bulletin has a heart-rend-
ing cry against increasing the sal
aries of our representatives In
Washington. We venture to say
that the Bulletin does not dare to
leave the question of fixing the al
lowances Of the Legation to Judge
Widemann, Mr.. Sam. Parker and
Mr.. Cummins. When these gentle
men accepted Mr.. Hastings hospi-
tally, at the Metropolitan Club,
the gloomy thought of the occasion
was, no doubt, that the lash of the
Bulletins whip would play around
their legs because they did it. Nat
urally the Bulletin wishes Mr..
Thurston out Of this country. He
put his foot on the heads of the
Bulletin and its followers on Janu-
airy II, 1893, and has kept it there
ever since; but he generally allows
them breath enough to squeal and
at himself and his friends.
And this he has the assurance to
trifing affair.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The people of the United States,
although used to surprises of all
kinds, are not only surprised, but
dumbfounded, at the power and
audacity of the Sugar Trust.
It has in its hands larger sum
of money for ready use, than any
corporation in the States. 1t has
reached out and touched the roots
of political organization, by giving
money to secure the elections of its

A curious feature of Chinese

When folks drink more Hires
Rootbeer than all other rootbeers
combined, there must be something
in Hires, and there is-delicious
flavor and public confidence.
Undoubtedly the reason of the
popularity Of Hires Rootbeer is, be-
cause it surpasses all other prepare
tions for making delightful home
beverage. 1t is very easily prepared,
and if the plain directions are fol-
lowed, it will always be good.
Every member of the family, from
the baby to the grandfather, can
enjoy this excellent summer drink.
Children especially delight in Hires
Rootbeer. Its preparation interests
them, and its use does them good.
In thousands of homes, Hires Root
beer that mother made" will be
among the happiest recollectlons of
childhood.

viction:

the islands. The great OBJ

to the summit has been the

tourists; it's been a climb and

Now, however, the weary
traveller will be made as COM

that has saved so many thous-
and dollars to the people who
are using them here on the
Islands. We sold one the other
day to a man who wanted to
use it in place of a steam
engine for cutting feed for
cattle; he thought a 16-foot
mill would be necessary, be-
cause it always required a D.
horse power engine to do the
work. We sold him a 12-foot
geared mill, because we were
satisfied that it would de-
velop all the power necessary;
we believe it would cut nails.
The gentlemen tells us that it
has proven itself a good thing
far beyond his expectations.
His experience is the same as
a hundred or more others to
whom we have sold Aer-
motors. 1t would surprise US
very much to have person

ELEcTR1c!:LIGHTs.
n. D. Kampmann Makes Another
Proposition That May Be
Accepted

The question of an electric light plant
continues TO grow in interest, and is the
subject Of much conversation among the
tax paying citizens Of this city. AT the
last Council meeting, at the request of
Alderman A. +. Beckmann, the matter of
adopting or rejecting the report of the
committee, which favored the bid Of K.
V. Scudder, for the Great Western Elec-
trio company, of st. Louis, was postponed
until the next meeting, Monday afternoon
next.
Since that time the directors Of the San
Antonio Electric Light company nave
figured closely on the proposition of Mr..
Scudder, and finding his figures TO be very
low, realized their danger and made a
second proposition to the committee this
morning.
At present the city is paying 60 cents a
night for an arc light. They now propose
to light the city for 40 cents per arc light
and 1886 per month for an incandescent
lamp. According to the figures of the
Electric Light company, for fuel,
ETC., the city, owning her own plant,
can furnish light for 23H cents per night
for an arc light and so cents per month
for an incandeScent. making saving 10
San Antonio of 1917 cents per night on
each arc light, and 1916 per month on
each incandeScent. At this saving rate
the city could pay for its plant, $4,000, In
less than three years with the amount
saved, even at what Is termed 1.-The low
est possible rate" the Electric Light COM
pany can offer.
1t is not yet known how the committee
will report, but the matter will neceSsari-
ly have to be brought up in open council.

The German Convention.
To the LIGHT.

To the LIGHT.
Under the date of the 18th inst. Mr.. A.
WyschetZki, president of the German
American Citizen association has issued
his call for convention OF said aSSocia-
ton to be held at Austin, on May and 3.
Any German organization is entered to
q delegate for every 10 members of his
club society, casino, or organization.
The aim of the call seems to be TO work
"for personal rights" and undoubtedly
the convention will not put itself on re-
cord as prohibition, cold water or com
mittee OF % adjunct.
Southwest Texas is much benefited by
the presence of large numbers of German
American citizens, and to the surprise OF
our city'S ward heGlerS, street corner and
curb stone politicians. when our registrar
of voters made his official list of voters,
before our last city election it was found
also that the voting strength of
our German American population, was
even in excess of our naturalized Next
cans; strange to say while the latter have
always had the anxious care and SOlicitndG
of our local candidates, tie former by
their lack Of cohesion or unity, were never
given thought by anyone, and 1t would
seem that IL they wanted to unite, San
Antonio Germans could furnish an array
of voters that would upset many Calcula-
tions. do not know whether or not the
state organization will attempt to unite
our German element as political factor
In state affairs, but If the Germans of our
city would realize their strength and join
the progressive element of our American
people, they could dictate instead OF be-
ing dictated to in this county. In state
affairs the Hogg regime has put itself on
record as anti-German, one need only re-
member here at San Antonio Mr.. Blckler
for superintendent Of schools, and at
Houston, Mr.. Schleicher for land com
missioner, were incOntinently Strangled,
while the real DemOcracy-unlesSC Clark
showed its appreciation Of so large an ele-
ment of our citizens. and welcomed them
with open arms. The Republican party
has always had loving eye on the gov
ernor, and with equal sincerity with the
Clark Democracy have always been will
ing to recognize his worth.
On the 2Sth this city will vote for or
against an additional school tax of 10
cents on every 500 of taxable property.
In this election il will be safe to assert
that the German will almost solidly vote
to educate his offspring, and set a good
example for the attainment of better
school facilities, even il it adds mite to
his tax burdens, which later on he might
be enabled to reduce, when the city will
furnish him the long promised reduction
in the light and water, that ought to and
will be accomplished.
II Mr.. WySchitZki, with his organiZa-
tion, enters the political field IN state af-
fairs, there is no barrier TO the German
element consolidating in BeXar county.
where they have no party tickets, and
taking hand In local matters, 1t could
only result in good, If IL discards its
apathy to politics, and takes an active
interest in the coming campaigns.
