Straight Talk.

"Regardless of threats, regard
less somtimes OF adverse criticism
from parties who do not under
stand the true facts, L have given
no quarter the last year to any
who have abused the trusts con-
fided to them, and with such an
emphatic Endorsement from my
fellow-citizens l feel encouraged
to go on with the work. Political
tricksters who have merely some
selfish purpose to crafty will re-
ceive no countenance from me, no
matter what party they may be
identified with for the timesbeing
1t is by yielding to these men on
account of the few votes they con-
troll that municipal governments
in all the large cities Of the country
have become synonym for waste
and extravaganza and corruption,
= IL political parties make
combinations with men whose
morality and integrity are ques
tionable, such combinations
should be discouraged and dis.
countenaced by every good citizen
Ii no quarter is given to men who
have no moral principle behind
them, who connect themselves
with leading parties for plumber
they will soon be stamped out
and the business OF the city viii
be conducted, like any other larg'
corporation, on business prin
ciples." HUGH O'BRIEN,

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The public has an idea that
business men who advertise their
business, are anxious to do brisk
trade and will be glad to have
customers drop in and will be
polite to them.
They look on a man, who does
not advertise his business, "a a
mossback, and a miser, and they
sheer off from him and advise
their friends to do the same thing.
1t helps a business man a vast
deal to be popular and well
thought OF by the public at large
in his town, or city. 1t Is quite
natural for people to trade with
those whom they like perfectly to
such as they dislike.
The public expect to see business
men display public spirit, proges-
siveness and liberality wherever
the welfare of their town is con-
cerned.
Where men make their money
in a city off the people the
public consider it to be their duty
to give help, literally, to all
public enterprises designed to
benefit their city.
This notion OF the public is both
natural and just. 1t does not look
at all right for a business man
that has climbed up from poverty
to riches, in town, or a city, to
be close-fisted and niggardly to-
ward public enterprises calculated
to increase the trade, population
and capital Of such town or city.
Sensible people admire and
respect men for being economical,
but they despise and abhor bust
ness men, who are destitute Of
public spirit and liberality toward
public enterprises for the benefit
OF the town in which they have
made their riches.
All public spirited citizens
should patronize, exclusively,
those business men who manifest
public spirit and liberality in
pushing their city forward.
The business man who maniiests
Indifference to the growth and
welfare of the place where he has
amassed riches, is drone in the
beehive, a clog on progress, and is
unworthy OF the patronage of the
public.
There is an art in the framing
of an advertisement, that few
acquire. A gushing, pretentious
advertisement, dealing largely on
promises, strikes sensible people
as a fraud and a fake, and repels
instead of attracting them. They
look on such an advertisement as
meant to perform the functions OF
a bunco steerer and inveigle
people into a well-baited trap,to be
skinned.
The columns of our city news
papers disclose the singular fact,
that the majority of the business
men of San Antonio do not adver-
tise at all. A stranger, who
measured our city's size and bust
ness by the number OF business
houses advertising in the city
press, would conclude that San
Antonio was a one-horse town,
badly crippled by frost bite.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Mr.. j. b. Dowdell, after short
visit to his family, returned to
Louisiana, in his capacity as
railroad contractor.
DR.. J. n. Moore drives a hand
some sorrel to his new buggy now.
Mr.. Philip Mallory left on
another business trip on the 10Th
instant.
The many visitors during last
week pronounced the large West
End yellow car the best and easiest
riding street car in this or any
other city.
Mr.. Freeborn reports that his
sisters returned to New York,
highly delighted with West End.
During the latter part of their
visit, the weather was favorable to
their thoroughly viewing San An
tonic from every point, with much
satisfaction.
Several relatives OF Mrs. Scudder
returned with her to enjoy the
italian autumn weather wehad on
their arrival.
Friday mornings combination
car was comfortably filled from
the West End Female college to
attend the Methodist conference.
There was enough intelligent
material on hand for any number
of pleasant conferences.
West End, as usual on all such
occasions, furnished proper quota
to attend the (reformed) Luther
Benson's lectures, drawn there
either by the heralded eloquence Of
the lecturer or with a desire to re-
fortify themselves to keep their
resolutions to totally abstain, not
withstanding, infallible statistics
show that prohibition or total alb
stemiousness are not as. conducive
to good health and longevity as
the temperate use of stimu-
lants. Any one that can and does
enjoy only their moderate or tenn
perate use, is assured by prepon-
derance of reliable authority, a
longer life than that awarded either
to the prohibitionist or the drunk
ard. A knowledge of these facts
may have induced such former old
sots as the Rev. Sam Jones to go
from one extreme to the other,
hoping thereby to reach the
healthy middle sphere OF temper
ance-which does not mean prohi-
bition, but in this they may
find themselves mistaken, and
when the green sod covers their
early graves their numerically
strong but otherwise weak followers
will be puzzled whether their cpl
taphs shall read, "Died early; killed
by the demon alcohol, or "died OF
abstemiousness, caused by fear OF
the whisky demon;" while the
temperate man lives on, not find.

st. Paul Commercial Club Goes on
Record.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-The desirability
of holding a Northwestern or mid-con-
tinental exposition IN the vicinity of
the Twin Cities was discussed at the
meeting of the Commercial club Friday
night. There was a large attendance.
The discussion developed a unanimous
expression in favor of holding a mid
continental exposition. All of the
speakers Endorsed the project, and all
agreed that the exposition should not be
held prior to 1897, nor later than the
year 1900. At the conclusion resolu-
tions to that effect were adopted.
