CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The failure of the Jockey club Of
San Antonio to have races and a
stock show this fall, would be ac-
cepted abroad as a proof that
there are no such articles in our
city as public spirit and enter
prise.
The Jockey club has done its
level best, and will continue to do
so, to have races and a stock show,
this fall, but it is nonsensical as
we'll as unjust to saddle the entire
burthen on the Jockey club. The
men Of means, who do not belong
to the club, should show their pub
lie spirit and liberality by sub
scribing handsomely to the fund
necessary to secure races and a
stock show this fall.
AS the fair has gone glimmering,
like mist before the sun, our bust
ness men and capitalists can well
afford to give quite literally to a
fund for races and a stock show,
this fall. 1t is all that we can now
have, this year.
1t does not reflect credit on San
Antonio to have all projects for
the benefit of the city languish
for while, in a puny and sickly
condition, and then peter out from
pure lack of the necessary funds.
All these failures are noted down
by the people outside of our city,
and the effect of them is to inspire
this idea, that San Antonio is
destitute of public rit,enterprise
and liberality. We cannot afford
to suffer such an idea to take root
in the minds of people outside of
our city.
But how can we prevent such a
state of things? We can easily pre-
vent the spread of such an idea, if
we wish to do.
The thing is really simple and
easy. We have but to change our
inertness for activity, and to- act
with public spirit, liberality and
unity OF purpose. Such change
will work wonders and accomplish
great things.
This change is certainly de-
manded by the interest of our city,
and the sooner it is made the bet
ter, for without this exchange of
inertness for energy and of indif-
ference for public spirit, San An
tonic will have plateful of
humble pie to eat, and much snub-
bling, on the part of Dallas, Hous-
ton, &C., to submit to with the best
grace she can command.
If San Antonio will only be true
to herself and put forth her
energies and resources, a brilliant
future is within easy reach of her
hand.

A MONSTER PARADE
Of Ohio Democrats at Columbus Opening of the Campaign CampbeII's Followers
 Awake and Full of Fire.

Columbus, O., Sept 2S.-The democrat ic state campaign was opened here to- night with an imposing demons raton. It is believed that the procession of clubs was the greatest, in point of numbers participating in it, ever seen here on a similar political occasion. The process sion was in seven large divisions and was composed of sixty different clubs, representing the principal cities and towns of the state. The Randall club, also, of PittSburg, was in line. There were thirty-six bands in the parade, and besides these fourteen drum corps. The parade was six miles long and contained probably 10000 men. The marchers car red Roman candles, which were dis charged as they went, making brill. l.ant scene. Eighty democratic editors of the state rode in the procession in two bril- liantly lighted electric cars, and two large camels from the Cincinnati Zoo logical gardens had prominent places in the line.
 The speeches were made from stands in the state house grounds the orators being Ex-GoVernor Campbell, John B. Peaslee, candidate for lieutenant-gov- ernor; l.. T. Neal, Col. Jam s kilbourne- of this city J. F. Norton. John F. Toilette of Cincinnati and John H. Clarke of Youngstown. The latter in his speech made a. severe criticism upon Senator Biice by the following allusion to his vote on the Wilson tariff bill at the con clnsion of resume of democratic legis- laton:
 Yet l confess frankly that all was not done that might have been done--that should have been done by the Fifty-third congress-nay that would have been done had five United States senators not proved recreant to the trusts reposed in them by the people. and to what purpose should democrats refuse to vote their party ticket because five senators proved recreant to their trust?
 When these men had done their worst, they were found side by side with thirty eight republican members of the United States senate--thus clearly establishing the position that the worst kind of dem ocratic senator Is as good as the best kind of a republican senator.''
 The meeting was very enthusiastic, and it is generally conceded to have been a success. If it can be regarded as a relia- ble indication the democrats of Ohio are certainly alive and enthusiastic

BROKE UP IN CONFUSION.
Convention of Southern and Other Railroad
 Men Failed to Come to Terms

New York, Sept. 2S.-The convention of the representatives of the Southern rail- way and connecting lines al the Waldorf hotel broke up in confusion today and was hastily adjourned until October 15 a the same place. There was the livliest kind of gathering and the proceedings were anything but harmonious The meeting was held behind closed doors, and there was hot debate when the new agreement came up for the signatures of the members. The representative of the Georgia and South Carolina railroad refused to sign the agreement, and no amount of pressure could change his de- cision. This blocked all the business, and in the interests of harmony it was decided to adjourn until October 15, when it is thought the objections brought up may be overcome. #ts
 The new agreement affects the freight rates of almost every railroad in the south. The tie-up of the new agreement also postpones the election of a successor to Commissioner Stahlman of the South ern Railroad and Steamship company and Solomon Haas, assistant to Presi- dent Spencer of the Southern railroad.
 The question of reorganizat ton of the Southern Railroad and Steamship asso- citation is also postponed. The members have been in session several days and frankly acknowledge that they have ac- complished nothing in the way of un- tagling the present muddled condition of the southern roads and filling various vacancies existing. Former Commis- sioner Stahlman said at the conclusion of the meeting that there were many am- bilious men anxious to take his place fot the emolument accompanying it.
 Solomon Haas, the retiring assistant to President Spencer of the Southern railroad, said that former Commissioner Stahlman might be elected to succeed himself

McHenry of St. Paul, who has for years been chief e. gineer of the Northern Pacific. and Frank G. Bigelow, president of the First National bank of Milwaukee. Judge Jenkins said he would net appoint third receiver for the road, but that he might do so later If it should be found nee essary for the proper administration of the trust
 The attorneys representing the Farm CTS Loan and Trust company nominated Thomas H. Lowrey, the street railway magnate of Minneapolis and president of the Minneapolis and Sault Ste Marie road, for appointment as one of the re- ceivers The court said that the Min neapolis and Soo road is part of the Canadian Pacific system, a competitor of the Northern Pacific, and although MT Lowrey had agreed to resign the pres idency of the Soo road in the event of his appointment as receiver he could not consider his candidacy. MT. Walker receiver of the Santa Fe system, was also proposed as a receiver. The new receivers represent the same line of pol icy that has been followed by Oakes, Rouse and Payne.
 Mir Bigelow Is one of Receiver Payne's bondsmen, and is the co-stockholder with him in, the First National bank, the Mill waukee Street Railway company, the Wisconsin Telephone company. Ed win w. Henry was appointed chief en- gineer of the Northern Pacific under the Willard regime.
