During the past few years our
county administration has been
dominated by ignorant, non-tax-
paying and serviIe Mexicans, ig-
norant Of our laws and languages,
and the principles of free govern
ment, under the dictation and con-
troll OF, and blindly led by, few
shrewd office holders connected
with the Mexican race by blood or
marriage.
"a large number Of these sub
servient Mexicans who are no more
than political Galley Slaves and
recent mportations from Mexico,
who understand nothing and care
nothing for our government, or its
institutions and, in fact, have a
feeling Of hostility to all American
citizens of other nationalities
Through the instrumentality of
this ignorant class Of Mexicans and
the power OF office and official pa.
tronage, their leaders have been
lifted into office and assumed par
ty machine management which
caused and emboldened the perpe-
tration of the fragrant wrongs and
outrages at Convention hall as
above stated.
This state Of affairs has been
borne until forbearance has ceased
to be virtue and the race issue,
whether or not non-taXpaying, ir-
responsible and abject MeXicans
shall, through small coterie Of
seli-constituted arbitrary leaders,
dictate the control OF our city
and county administrations and
the disposition Of public moneys
gathered from taX-paying people,
has been forced upon US and must
be met by our citizens Of other ma.
tionalties IL they would preserve
their rights as free men and pro-
tect their property from the burden
OF unnecessary taxation.
"When the people who bear the
burden and share the responsible
tiles OF the government are con-
fronted, derided, insulted and op-
pressed by an arrogant and defiant
leadership, supported and main
tanned by class OF cringing sup
plicants, common respect and due
regard for individual rights and
the public welfare demand that
they should rise against it and blot
it out.
"When the chief leader, the
highest officer OF our city, (meaning
Mr.. Callaghan,) bears upon his
breast and insolently flaunts in
the face OF our people the tyrannical
badge: Hold San Antonio Down,
the people should rise in their
united might and power and turn
San Antonio loose from his despotic
rule.
"We the undersigned voters of
Bexar county endorse the foregoing
address.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

The following is from the open

dorsed by Mr.. r. B. Green, candi-
date for City Attorney in 1895 on
the Callaghan ticket, also Mr.. G.

man OF the Fourth ward on the
same.ticket, also Mr.. Frank Grice,
editor and Publisher OF the San
Antonio Daily Express, as well as
Mr.. w. II. Weiss, president OF the
San Antonio Street Railway COM
pany. Look back and com pare
their attitude then and now. These
addresses were against the same
men that are now in office. Docu-
ments to prove this are in the
possession OF r. l.. Summerlin.

REposE OF MANNER.
An Old Time Accomplishment That Ought
to 10 Cultivated Anew.

An Old-Time Accomplishment That Ought
to Be Cultivated Anew.
Our great-grandmothers taught their
daughters that ''repose of manner"
was the first requisite of true propriety.
No well-bred lady would fidget in COM
pany, put her hands to her face, toss her
head. or finger her buttons. II she
talked, she did it in a soft voice and
without gesticulation, no matter how
many rings she .wore or how pretty
her hands might be. She was taught
even to control her features; that
squirting and winking the eyes and
twitching the mouth were not mice"
| and that they could and should be in
termitted in polite society. In sitting,
neither the knees nor the feet
were to be crossed; rocking was obi
ously vulgar; yawning and stretching
were unspeakable offenses; and, above
all, the hands must be crossed or fold
ed in the lap, and kept there.
A later generation reversed these
edicts It's motto was: Whatever you
do, don't be stiff" The stately ladies
of the old regime were voted ''slow"
and "prim." Movement and demon
stration "came in" and repose "went
out" In the craze after "naturalness,"
the pendulum, as usual, swung past
the happy medium, and feverish unrest
marked the department Of our young
women.
AS the outward manner is said to in
fiuence largely the inward state, who
shall say that the present reign of
nervous diseases has not been sensi-
bly, aided by the fling and unrestraint
of the modern school Of manners. Isit
not true that the habit of controlling
the face and members helps to estab-
lish control of the emotions and
thoughts?
We plead for at least partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let mothers
once more teach their girls to sit still
in company; to cultivate calmness. Let
our women learn to carry an earnest
conversation in subdued tones and
without gesticulation.
We used to be told that lying in bed
with hands folded and eyes shut was
half as good as sleep, when sleep was
impossible. 1t is quite credible that
flouncing and tossing about largely in
creases the loss of strength from sleep
lessness, as we know that the sleep
which is accompanied with much toss
ing and turning is not as refreshing as
that which is taken quietly. Just so,
IL reposed manner is acquired early
in life, an enormous expense of nervous
movement is spared, and correspond
ing amount of power may be saved

IA true incident.


She had not mourned like us OF ripsr years;
Yer days had been for laughter, not for tears;
Few were her kindred In the better land.
Yet death was drawing near, with outstretched
hand.
On, for some dear one on the other side
To lead her safely DER the darksome tidei
We watched her fading daily from our sight.
Until, at close OF long summer night.
As tho first rays Of daybreak lit the gloom,
She asked: "who ore these people In tho

Then on her features shone Frightening

As II the faces were no longer strange:
Soon as the angels were familiar grown,
Rejoicing she departed nth her oson
No aliens come to meet us when ut last
The weary pilgrimage Of life is past:
As tender love rs waits us at our birth
Attends the parting from our home on earth
