U4STING RORROWED MONEY.

The week is spent at Washington in voting
away borrowed money. How much has been
voted no one can say as yet, but the men who
are best informed as TO the condition of the
various bills testify that never has there been
more reckless disregard Of public opinion, or Of
all proper restraint than this Congress Is ex-
hbting. Mr.. Dockery, Of Missouri one Of the
Democrats especially charged with responsibility
in this matter, publicly warns his friends in
Congress that "if this thing goes on the Billion
Congress will come 10 be known as a pcnurous
body" Perhaps this is testimony enough as
10 the present state OF the business But il may
be added that things have been doing not bet
ter. but decidedly worse, since this suggestive
remark was made
II is not possible in this case to shuttle off
responsibility by saying that some other Con-
cress has also done badly. There have been
extravagant Congresses of both parties. But
never vet has there been Republican Congress
which voted away money lavishiy and waste
fully when the money had to be borrowed.
There is a species Of excuse for meeting all
sorts Of projects for public improvement with
a generous mind, when the Treasury holds a
surplus inconvenenuy large. But this Is the
first time any Congress Of either party has run
riot in expenditure when the Treasury was
Obliged TO borrow S11S,O0OO00 In about year.
No man living can contrive decent excuse for
extravaganza SO i'll timed.
1t will hurt all the more in public estimation,
and really ought to- because the people who
pay have been reduced. by the performances of
this same Congress- % such a condition Of in
dustry and business that they are scarcely re-
ceiving 81 where they received SO two years ago.
The best test as to all sorts OF receipts and pay
ments taken together Is the volume Of exchanges

SPORTING GOSSIP.

Billy Delany, Jack McVey and
Joe Corbett returned last night
from Austin, where they appeared
before the grand jury. They said
they are under oath to divulge
nothing that transpired before

accommodations for the crowds
that will flock into that famous
health resort during the fistic car

Springs, and may accept it.

an attempt to make more trouble
for Corbett and Fitzsimmons is
not endorsed by even those who
are opposed to prize.fighting. "It
is no longer a secret that the fight
will not take place in Texas and 1
believe the state authorities ought
to let up harrassing Corbett and
Fitzsimmons," said an old citizen
this morning. "They say they

AMUSING, VERY.
The County Ring Dissolved-T

The County Ring Dissolved-The
Leaders Divided Into Two Wars
ring Factions.
Written for the LIGHT.
The above is from the San An
tonic Express Of October 9, 1895,
and is at once very amusing, and
especially to those who call to
mind the facts, that from May to
November, A. d. 1894, this same
paper, at least three times each
week, sung this same old, old song,
but alas, on the first Tuesday in
November, 1894, all was perfect
harmony in the county ring" and
so it is now and so it will be on the
first Tuesday in November, 1896.
The "county rlng," through the
Express, is running very shallow
farce in this matter.
The division found in the ''county
ring" and particularly in the
county court, to-wit: Callaghan,
Jonas, Boerner and Wilkins,
against Joe Dwyer. is a verltable
mares nest.
How could the new loan of
$4,000 or $4,000 to finish the new
court house, and corruption fund
to carry our next years election,
be put through the county court
without the help Of County Com
missioner Joe Dwyer?
Does that astute paper, the Ex-
press, see anything green in the
eyes Of the voters of Bexar county,
or expect to feed them any longer
on husks? and 1t Is suggested that
the said Express charge all such
articles, as the one found under
the above heading, at advertising
rates, and send the bill for collec-
ton to the county ring"
