plans for the sum fixed by congress as
the ultimate cost OF the two ships. The
new boats will be about 10000 tons dis
placement. but will really be larger than
the Iowa, the largest OF the battle ships
now under construction. Cramp a. Sons
offered to construct one on the depart

A FEW KICKS.
(BY SHORT SNAPPERS. }

(B0 SHORl SNABDERS.)
Why could not the city abate the
nuisance complained Of by Alder.
man Mackey, by blowing up, dis
injecting and planting it with oats.
There is lots of kicking around
the City hall, but they don't whis-
per loud enough for the reporters
to hear.
Alderman Mackey is calling at
tention to the Brand business has
done the city service. Mr.. Mackey
laid bare some Of Mr.. Brands mis-
takes-he ought to have born
heavily upon the carelessness, if
not stupidity Of the City Council
in making such a transaction.
The hungry, woe BECOME look OF
some of the employees, who are
longing for payday to come, is
enough to make our healthy mayor
sick. Pay your taxes.
The suburban taxpayers are
kicking because their aldermen do
not visit them as much as they
ought to.
Some OF the strongest kickers of
West End want to know what has
become of the promised chemical
engine.
The San Antonio colored folks
are kicking against the negro emf.
grafton to Mexico.
City Attorney Minor has had the
Brand case referred to him. 1t
will not take Mr.. Minor long to
form his opinion, upon the law Of
the case. If a contract is author
lied it can only be by ordinance.
Mr.. Brand is collecting 1898 taxes
even without the shadow of a con-
tract.
The regular notary publics who
depend much upon the fees Of the
office for support, kick because
there are so many notaries en-
plOvPd by firms, doing notary work
gratuitous.
You might as we'll kick your
sore toe against brick wall as to
ask an alderman anything about
Mr.. Hindry and his sewer con-
tract. There is kicking, just the
same.
If you don't find anything else to
kick about, come down to the
Commerce street bridge and take a
smell of that sewer.
The fellow who does not pay his
city taxes has no right to kick be-
cause the city can not pay off.
