There is no certainty what will
be the outcome Of the present agi-
tation in Congress over the curren-
cy bill or over the appropriation
for carrying into effect the provis-
ions of the late income tax law.
Both Hill and Quay are dead set
upon the defeat Of that appropria-
ton and it may not carry. To this
uncertainty is added that of the
entire ignorance of every one as to
the course that Cleveland will adopt
in case his favorite measures are
defeated. That a special session
Of Congress will be called is not
credited by those members most
conversant with the situation. 1t
would be strange conglomera-
tion to have Democratic govern
ment call together a Republican
Congress to secure the legislation
that could not be secured from a
free Congress Of its own party.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1895

That semi-centennial celebration
that should be held in San Antonio
a little over year hence is one OF
those celebrations that should en-
list in its arrangement all of the
active forces Of the city, past and
present. 1t commends itself equal
ly to the oldest inhabitant and the
man who has just wiped the soil
of a strange state from his shoes.
1t has nothing sectional in it and
is such a movement as should
bring into active cooperation all
the different elements of business,
social life, municipal existence and
whatever Of patriotic and educa-
tional force the city can muster. 1t
should be undertaken as a city
matter by the City Council, and
thus undertaken in an official way
it would gather to it's support all
that could in any way possibly
minister to it's success.

Every day the emphasis strength
ems on the declaration Of the
LIGHT, that this country Is suffi &.
cient unto herself and that II she
were absolutely shut out and off OF
Europe she would be better off.
The sewer contract has been let
and the labor that Is to be en-
ployed Is at the mercy of the penu-
robustness Of the contractor and the
city has sealed its own mouth in
the matter.
There are some of the members
Of the City Council who are deter
mined to let daylight in upon
every transaction of the city, and
they will be remembered when the
election is to be held.
There will be more railway con-
struction in these United States
this year than for many years past,
and this great state of Texas stands
good show OF leading the build
ing procession.
1t is Of more real Importance to
the citizens OF San Antonio to have
first class council than a first
class mayor, that is If only one of
the two can be elected. Still we
hope for both.
The argument for the decollete
dress is a little strained when it is
lugged In to show that in a matri-
monial race the woman who carries
light weight in this way usually
comes out neck ahead.
The head line "Hell broke loose
In Georgia" is a little misleading.
1t intimates that at some recent
period hell has been in hook. The
time cannot be quoted by the old
est inhabitant.
The LeXow committee Is not the
first body that struck twelve the
first time, and not being able to
repeat the stroke have been a con.
slant disappointment ever since.
One always comes after twelve.

Of this city, and that cry refers to
a knowledge of the transactions OF
the city fathers, as we'll as to the
newspaper that turns on the cal.
cium every evening.

The New Years gifts that are
destined to drop into the lap Of
this city are promising. Not the
least Of them will come through
the building of the sewers of this
city and the railroads branching out
from this center southwark and
eastward. That road to the north
west may be delayed a little, but it
will only be for little and in the
end it will be corralled. There Is
a new day dawning for this grow
ing city, and in its increasing
splendor the Old Alamo will draw
to herself more Of the capital and
labor Of this southwest than any
other city in Texas.
