AN ELMENDoRF FIDDLER,

During the recent campaign, one
of the most tireleSS and effective
workers for the entire Independent
or ElmendOrf ticket, was found by
a representative of the LIGHT, at
Schaefer's hall, on Leal street,
holding down an attentive audi
ence with telling effect. He was
dixie Mr.. Ryan or Mr.. Newcomb,
the "Short Stops" of the Light
not one of the regular assigned
speakers under Mr.. Barnes, but he
had a novel way of gaining APP
plause and made number of good
speeches in the Third and Fourth
ward. He was known to WELD a
powerful pen, but as speaker he
was novelty to us: he had about
concluded his speech when he
grabbed violin belonging to one
OF the musicians, and finished as
follow: "Gentlemen, if you elect
Mr.. Callaghan, you may get mu-
nicipal official air and it would be
Los Patras de Sta Ana Santa
Annals feet) but if you elect Mr..
Elmendorf and his taxpayers tick
ct, you will keep on hear
ing Hail Columbia Happy Home,'
or Columbia the gem Of
the Ocean or The Star Spangled
Banner;' you could also appreciate
with our French-American citizen,
the soul inspiring strains OF the
Marsellaise; with our English
Americans, the God save the
QUe9n,' and when our German
Americans play the Watch on the
Rhine you will have listened to
an Outburst Of patriotism that is
noble in any country, whether ma
tural or adopted" AS soon as .he
called one OF the pieces he played
it on the violin, and when he put
the old instrument back on the
table, there was such a burst of
applause, as was seldom ever listen
ed to.
After another volunteer or unas-
signed speaker followed him, he
came forward once more, and with
powerful voice declared that he
might have made a mistake, that
Mr.. Callaghan might be gentle
man who had no ear for the concord
OF sweet sounds, and that there
might not be an official munic-
ipal air for San Antonio, "but," he
concluded, "you will naturally all
take to one tune, viz: cover the
Hill to the Poor House." This
brought down the house, and we
advise our political speakers of the
future, to give their audiences a
little musical diversion, if they
want to make converts to their
cause.
This incident was written up on
the day after it occurred, but
crowded out, to make room for
Short Snappers and the fiddler's
own valuable pen work.

have been predicting that there
would be as many financial factions
among the Republicans In the next
Congress as there are among the
Democrats in this. The admins
tration was strong enough to pre-
vent the adoption OF Mr.. Reeds
substitute but not strong enough
to prevent the defeat Of its own
bill.
The Washington correspondent
of a Texas Democratic paper has
received a 'roast" from his editor,
for having said a good word for
Mr.. Cleveland's intentions. Fol-

lieve a word of the stated desire Of
Cleveland to serve the best inter-
est OF the country; do not believe

gress to enact, and do not believe
he is a patriot" Xxx ave think

rotten as anything in the last half

ably the youngest in the United States.

CAROLINA.

birthday, having been born on the 18th
of October, 1868, at Cokesbury, S. C.
Mr.. Evans is a graduate of Union
college, Schenectady, and lawyer by
profession. In 1888 he was elected to
the lower house of the general assem-
bly,, receiving the support of all polit
zeal factions of the democracy, and
during his term was not regarded a
partisan ''Tillmanite." Reelected in
1890, when B. r. Tillman was elected
governor. he at once became an active
leader of the ''refOrmers. In 1892 Mr..
Evans was elected to the state senate,
and his readiness, adrOitness and vehe-
ment aggressiveness as a debater at
once placed him in the leadership of
the reform majority in that body. In
the session of 1892 he introduced and
engineered to passage the county
government bill" and the dispensary
bill He was not the author of the lat
ter law, but when, in the closing days
of the session of 1892, it was offered as
a compromise between the license ad-
vocates and the prohibitionists, it was
largely due to his zeal and aggressive
skill that it was whipped through
against the efforts of an obstinate
minority of filibusterers.
Mr.. Evans has been Gov. Tillman's
constant adviser and abettor in carry
ing out the policy of reform" es-
pecially in his efforts to enforce the
dispensary law, and out of this polite
al intimacy came much of the strength
which enabled him to defeat two
strong competitors in the Tillmanite
primaries, in which he carried twenty
seven out of thirty-fve counties.
Socially the young governor does not
belong to that class who constitute the
voting strength of the "Tillmanites,"
the common people," as they persist
emily call themselves. His father was
the late Gen. n. G. Evans, an officer in
the confederate army, who has been
conspicuous in affairs.
In politics the young governor
claims to be strict democrat, but also
asserts his belief in the "Ocala" or ALI
ance demands, and argues that they
are not inconsistent with the Chicago
platform. He declares that he will en-
force the dispensary law to the letter
He is thoroughly detested by the anti
Tillmanites, who look upon him as a
"fre-eater," full of bitterness toward
them. They habitually speak of him
as populist.
Mutton in the Southwest.
In the meat shops of towns in New
Mexico and Arizona the visitor from
the east is apt to notice that the
dressed carcasses of sheep have tuft
of wool still attached to the head and
tail. This is left by the butcher to as
sure the customer that it is mutton
and not goat flesh they are buying,
for in these territories many focks of
goats are reared and pastured by the
small Mexican ranchmen to be killed
for food for the poorer natives. Roast
or stewed kid, with Chilli pepper sauce,
is an esteemed dinner dish at the tables
of many well-to-do American and Span
ish-American citizens.
