While some of the states OF the

against the system Of convict
labor in vogue in them, and others
are endeavoring to so arrange the
employment Of the convicts as not
to interfere with the free labor Of

to enquire to what extent our free
labor is coming into contract with
the prison labor Of the old world.

carry out this. program, ranking
all as Jews who have had a Jewish

he can knock out the campion,
and while this may be questioned,
there is no doubt that Mrs. Jim

entering the ring against him as
she gets a cool hundred every

1t is now almost three months
that the city school teachers are in
arrears for salary. Several who in
tended to leave the city for their
vacations are not able.to do so be-
cause they have not been paid for
their services, while others are
obliged to engage in some occupa-
tion during vacation to maintain
themselves and the families Deepen
dant upon them. This is not right
and the movement to raise the
money and pay the current debts
of the city should be heartily sup
ported.

necessarily provoking the antagon-
ism Of these United States. There
is no nation that Japan desires to
be on more friendly terms with
than with the United States, so
that all reports Of the seizure Of

may be taken as canards. That the
Japanese will make no move con-

The proposition to bond this city
for the money to pay the salaries
OF employees, teachers and the back
expenses Of the city departments,
Is one that commends itself to the
good common sense Of the tax
payers. Better raise the money in
a lump, pay off these debts and
keep square in the future than to
be pinched for ready money to pay
salaries, thus preventing the en-
ployes Of the city in every depart.
ment from meeting their expenses
and discrediting the city to that
extent. The amount now due to
the people who have given their
services to the city would, II paid,
Immediately find its way into the
Golfers of the business houses Of
the city and materially aid in cas-
ing matters. There should be nc
cavil about voting those bond:
for that money. 1t is a needed
measure,
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-06-12

All bond issues are merely expe-
dents, and while the issue of bonds
to pay the wages of employees Of
the city is advocated the real need
is such remedial measures as will
reach the root of the difficulty and
prevent any recurrence to such
measures in the future. A tax levy
that will cover the legitimate ex-
penses of the city and the prompt
collection Of these taxes will &C.
complish all that is desired in this
direction, and it is for this purpose
among others that the administra-
ton and legislature Of the city
were elected. Surely this is not a
matter lying outside Of or beyond
the possibilities Of any ordinarily
endowed City Council and they are
expected to compass 1t.
