FRIDAY, DEFENDER q, '95

There is no indication that the
Kentucky republicans are going to
have either a win or a walkover in
the senatorial contest that is so
soon to engage the attention of
the legislature of their state.
Neither is it certain that Black
burn has a cinch on the situation.
1t is a case open for a fight, and
the fight is going to take place,
with all the modern accessories.
Joe Blackburn is no SLOUGH at po-

tough-hided bourbon. When the
battle smoke clears away the de-
feated will be snatched bald

ground that no more revenue is

The killing of young Kearney
during the holidays with a pistol
bullet should be a lesson to future
Christmas celebrations. 1t was
also during such time a year ago
that young LANCE was shot by
negro at midnight with a pistol
bullet through the large intestine,
and laid him up over two months,
barely escaping death. This pistol
shooting could well be dispensed
with entirely, and the fire cracker
shooting allowed only in the yards.
Instead of this, in nearly all
streets, small and large children
could be seen lately shooting the
firecrackers off on the streets and
throwing them around, and there
by annoying and endangering the
inmates of the many vehicles
driven around our narrow streets.
If the celebration Of our holidays
be confined strictly to the dis
charge of sky rockets and fire
crackers, and perhaps cannons, in
the enclosed yards only, under
careful watch of the parents, there
certainly would be less or no dam
age done to life. MEDICUs.

Where Were the Police P
To the San Antonio LIGHT:

The hoodlums and other disor-
derby elements appeared to be in
full sway Christmas eve, particu-
larry at the corner Of East Com
merce and Alamo streets. AS mid
night mass began at st. Joseph's
church the boisterous, drunken
crowds in the vicinity and in front
of the church created such pande-
monium by their continuous saw
age yelling and firing of heavy
explosives right upon the side
walks, as to disturb the religious
services to an extent never before
experienced in the history of this
congregation. Members went out
in search of police to put stop to
the reprehensible proceedings, but
none could be found within ra-
dius of one block from Joske Bros.
These occurrences, coupled with
the promiscuous shooting and its
direful results on yesterday place
the management of our police de-
partment in anything but an en-
viable light, so far as efficiency
and devotion to duty is concerned.
1t is just pernicious use of
personal liberty" that is calcu-
lated to strengthen the ranks of
the enemies of personal liberty"
and the possible ultimate success
of the latter will largely be due to
the failure, on the part of those in
power, to put a check on such ex-
cesses as are herein complained of.
These lines are not penned in a
spirit of enmity toward our city
government, but are intended as a
plea for the correction of a growing
evil, without resorting to extreme
measures. III. p.
