A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Our morning Express has hoisted
the flag OF distress. In Sundays
Issue, under the heading, "a Bust
ness Administration" the editor
says: "a few brief months ago
Mr.. Henry Elmendorf became
mayor of San Antonio through an
unexpected and much to- be-re-
GREETED turn of affairs"
What was the much to- be-re-
GREETED turn Of atfairs"-the death
OF Mayor Paschal? 1t does not
seem that the Express thinks this
a "much-to. be-regretted turn Of af-
fairs, because in the next breath
the editor says: "He (ElmendorO
came into an inheritance consist
ing OF the wreck OF a "reform"
administration. The bark was but
battered hulk drifting with every
breeze, without purpose and bound
for a port no man knew" In other
words Paschal's administration
was a wreck, and the captain a
miserable imbecile, whose death
and burial beneath the waves, a
fitting climax to disastrous voy-
age, leaving the mate in command
of the water-logged craft. The re-
greet of the Express Is evidently
meant to be that the captain, Pas
chal, should have lived to have
drifted onward with Tapping sails,
and broken helm, until he too had
been cast upon the shores OF politi-
cal distress.
J According to the poetical conclu-
sions Of the editor Of the Express,
the mate, Elmendorf, came in com
mand of wreck, and that it was
the incapacity and imbecility OF
the captain, Paschal, that brought
about the disastrous condition OF
the good ship "San AntOnio;" If
that be so, the marine writer on
the Express should have only re-
GREETED the death of the poor old
captain and not the "uneXpected
turn Of affairs" The truth is
the Express has a big job
on it's hands, and is compelled
to pipe all hands on deck to reef
their sails as the political barome'
ter indicates hurricane of public
opinion adverse to the success OF
their voyage into power.
Since we have got into the ma
rine business, it would not be out
OF good taste to liken the Express
bark to a piratical craft, command
ed by that old political buccaneer
Capt. (Kidd) Callaghan-a heavily
ladened merchantmen is sailing
; directly in the path-Captain Cal
laghan dresses a part OF hi:
crew as emigrants-the Express
editor plays the part Of an old lady
with a rag baby in her arms, the
United States flag flies at the
mast head instead OF the "raw
head and bloody BONES" but
crouched out of sight is the same
old crew Of pirates who have
wrecked and destroyed property
and commerce for years. How dc
the people like the picture?
Let the honest, brave captain o.
the merchantmen, be on hi:
guard; run his vessel close in I'm
der the guns of his enemy and give
the pirate a dose Of cutlass at close
quarters.

The Drift of Public Sentiment.


The city campaign has but
just opened, but it has opened
with vim and snap that betokens
a warm time from now to the close
OF the polls.
The drift Of public sentiment is
entirely with the Elmendorf ticket {;
it's composition, especially the al
dermanic twelve, meets the ap-
prevail of the business community
and gives assurance that the legis-
lation OF the city will be clean and
able.
The drift Of public sentiment is
not to be found entirely in the
columns OF our newspapers, and in
this instance the people are taking
matters into their own hands. as
evidenced in the public gatherings
and clubs that have been organ
lied. The Elmendorf clubs have
brought out the best elements
OF our citizenship, and an earnest
ness of action that practically set
ties the contest in advance. II the
polls were opened tomorrow Mayor
Elmendorf and his ticket would
win, and each succeeding day I'M
til the day of casting the ballots
will only add to the strength Of
the ticket.
If there has been any doubt of
the success of the Elmendorf tick
ct this doubt has been dispelled
by recent occurrences, the indica-
tions now are that the polls will
be swept by greater majority
than the Paschal cyclone two
wears ago.

states that it is not the business of rail-

churches, missions and charitable insti-
tutions generally. All of which has the
hearty assent of every decent thinking
person who is anxious that the relations
between the railways and the public

ness principles on both sides. The Rail-
way Age is. however, strangely blind to
the recent successful ''hold-up" practiced

greater sinner-the man who demands

complacent corporation which grants it
