for Private Use.
To the Daily LIGHT.
Another quite com mon practice
in derogation of the right Of the
public to the use of the sidewalks
and therefore public nuisance, is
that of merchants, fruit dealers,
etc., appropriating a portion OF
the sidewalk in front of them to
their private use. They use the
sidewalk the distance of 20 or
more inches next to their place of
business, just as though the
portion of the sidewalk thus &C.
cupied was private property. Fruit,
vegetables, shoes, etc, are placed
on boxes, tables, or stands on the
sidewalk and occupy a third
Of the sidewalk, greatly to the in
convenience Of the public. Those
who are guilty OF this practic pay
no rent for thus using and &C.
cupying the public sidewalks and
for seriously incommoding the
public, Such persons should be
indictatble at common law and by
statutory law in nearly all the
states, for obstructing the public
streets. And no such practice
should be allowed in any city that
has a spark OF regard for the rights
of the public. Who composes
the public? Is the public a veri-
ty, or a myth? Every man,
woman and child, whether rich
or poor, young, or old, is COM
ponent part Of the great public.
Every visitor in San Antonio
on his arrival, becomes also a com.
ponent part Of the public and
is as much entitled to the use of
the streets and sidewalks for drlv-
ing, or walking, as the "oldest in
habitant."
The public owns the streets and
sidewalks in their length and
breadth, and no such an anomaly
as an individual owning any
portion Of a public street or side
walk, as private property, was
ever heard of in civilized nations.
1t behooves every inhabitant OF
a country to be jealous Of all en-.
croachments by private persons
or public officials, on the rights Of
the public, inasmuch as every in
habitant is embraced in the term
"the public" and has a direct and
vital interest in the maintenance
of the right Of the public to the
use Of the public highway, alleys
sidewalks and streets.
On his being asked, which was
the best governed country Scion
the Athenian lawgiver, replied
"that country, where each citizen
regards wrong done another citi
zen as a wrong done himself" and
the public should regard infring'
ments on the public streets and
sidewalks as personal injury
done each and every individual
embraced in the term, the public
But "what is everybody's business
is nobody's business" is literally
true OF the public when its rights
are infringed on. Methinks

an acquiescent turn, exclaim

ODDS AGAINST BRYAN.
Betting Men Say the Chances Are All
in Favor of Mckinley.
E'rom the New York Herald

FrOm the New York Herald.)
There are many men just now who are
anxious to back their political opinion
by money, and many wagers are being
made on the result Of the election The
betting in this city is all in favor Of
Mckinley, and the Bryan men insist on
getting big odds against their candi-
date. In all the betting centers there
is plenty of money to stake on the Re
publican side, and all offers made by
Popocrats are quickly covered. The
greatest difficulty encountered by the
betting contingent up to date is that all
the money is on the same side, and that
it is not easy to place large sums on
the general result.
The odds in McKinley's favor vary
materially, but are rarely lower than )
to ,, and are sometimes quoted ) to /.
Most Of the money ventured during the
last week has been on results in diff
ferent States or cities. In former cleo
tions bets have been made on the size

This year the question is, Which party
will get a plurality. Ullman & Ran
kin, bookmakers, who have studied the
situation all over the country. have

An address was made by the Princi-
pal, w. A. Latta, in which he pointed
cut the unusual effort made by the City
Board of Education for the improve
ment and extension Of the school sys-
tenn, and the advancement of the large
class of young men and women whose
daily avocations kept from them any
ether opportunities for self-improve-
ment
Mr.. Latta called upon every pupil to
use his influence to increase the number
of those who should reap the benefit OF
this opportunity, and dwelt upon the
Importance of all working together in
harmony and good fellowship toward
the desired end. The gentleman's re-
marks were we'll received and went far
toward awakening the interest mani
tested by his hearers.

of Education, was then introduced. He
spoke of the growth of the evening
school and referred in the most COM
plimentary terms to the teachers who

new building for the High School and
hoped to see the city provide suitable
accommodations for both schools in one

all young men to take advantage of the
opportunity thus presented for getting
a practical education without cost and
without price

successful term the school has ever
known, and spoke of the Importance of
bringing it's advantages to the attention
Of young people generally.

and yelling, and drowning the

For the first time in the history
of This country has the candidate

fused the right of free speech in
q free country. The New Haven
outrage was not the work of
toughs and ruffians whose haunts
are the slums of great cities and
whose avocation is crime, on the
contrary. it was perpetrated by
young men, the sons of million
aires, who call themselves gent
lemen, but who in reality have
all the brutal instincts and de-
pravity of the lowest hoodium in
the land. We are quite sure that
the conduct of the Yale students
will be denounced in unmeasured
terms by the people in all sec
tons of the country. They have
not only disgraced themselves,
but the university itself, and no
effort should be spared to ferret
out the ring leaders and punish
them as they deserve, not only
In the courts, but by public ex-
pulsion from the university.
Thomas Jefferson established the
University of Virginia as much
for the purpose of making gent
lemen as scholars of the young
men of his State and unless the
faculty of Yale act vigorously
and promptly, parents will re-
gard that institution of learning
as one in which hoodlumism is
taught above all other branches
of study and consequently will
send their sons elsewhere to re-
ceive an education. So far as
the political effect of the insult
offered Mr.. Bryan is concerned,
it is quite safe to say that it will
make the poor people of the
country. who are unable to have
their sons enjoy the same OPP
portunities as those of million
aires, more determined than ev-
er to support the candidacy oil
