the directors and stockholders of
the company to the danger
threatened, but they seem to be
unable to arrest the threatened
danger. Very respectfully,
GEO. w. RUSS,
president West End Town Co."
Upon receipt of this letter
Mayor Henry Elmendorf direct
ed the city engineer to make an
examination of the condition of
the dam and report, which he
did, as follows:
"San Antonio, Tex, Nov. d
Hon. Henry ElmendOrf, Mayor
Dear Sir: AS requested, l have
made an examination of the over
flow of the West End lake and
find same in a very bad and per-
haps dangerous condition. The
ground has been cut away until
there remains only between ten
and twenty feet embankment to
hold the water in the lake, and |
do not think said embankment
will last longer than one or two
more heavy freshets.
"The danger depends upon the
depth of the water in the lake at
this point; and not knowing the
depth, | am unable to say how
much the danger would be; but
would recommend that you noti-
fv the West End Town company
to repair said overflow, because
when it gives way it may wash
away all the bridges over said
creeks and may be dangerous to
life. Respectfully submitted,
"A. C. PANCOAST,
"City Engineer"
Upon the receipt of the above
report the mayor sent the follow
inc notice to the West End Town
company:
"San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 6, '96
West End Town Company,
Geo. w. Russ, President-Gen-
tlemen: The city engineer has
examined the dam of the West
End lake and reports it in a very
dangerous condition. You will
please take notice of this and
have it repaired at once, as
the city will hold you response
BILE for any damage caused by the
giving away of the dam and the
escape of the water. Yours truly,
''HENRY ELMENDORF,.
Attest: "MayOr.
"E. r. NORTON, City Clerk"
The mayor stated that no re-
ply has been received to the last
communication to the West End
company.
The matter was informally dis
cussed by the council, the general
opinion being that something
should be done at once to avert
the threatened danger, but all
were at Il loss how to remedy the
matter.
Alderman Hoetiing suggested
that the city drain the lake and
in this way remove the source of
danger, but the question was
raised that an attempt to drain
it would be very hazardous and
that once an outlet was cut to
draw off the water it would be
rapidly cut wider and cause the
entire dam to give way. 1t was
also suggested that should the
city drain the lake it would make
itself liable in damages to the
surrounding property owners.
Some of the aldermen wanted
the city to force the West End
Town company to make the need
ed repairs, but the mayor stated
that the city attorney had given
it as his opinion that the city
could not force the company to
do the work.
Alderman Kerble, who lives at
West End, said that something
should be done quickly, that the
dam was liable to give way at al
most any time and would be al
most sure to break after the next
heavy rain. He said the lake COW
cred about sixty acres of land and
was eighteen feet deep at the
shallowest point, and he was of
the opinion that if this volume

MCCLARY'S LECTURE.
The First of the High School Course

Rev. Thomas McClary, of Minneapo-
lis, appeared before large audience of
Yale citizens in NJ. +. church last
Monday evening and gave the first of a
series of lectures intended to be given
during the coming winter. Mr.. Nc
Clary is first-class lecturer and an
elocutionist of rare ability, nature hav
ing endowed him with face, which in
itself is fortune, and more especially
so when accompanied, as in his case,
with power of expressing in its vari-
Gus forms all the passions, both of joy
and sorrow, to which human nature is
subject, and in manner that carries
his hearers along with him.
His subject was "The Mission of
Mirth," and TO say that he handled it in
mastery manner would scarcely eX-
press the satisfaction of his entire
audience. a good deal of mirth was
elected by his witty illustrations and
sharp hits on the things that touch up
our risibilities. Yet in il all, there
was not word or an expression calcu-
lated TO do otherwise than elevate and
make his hearers resolve that at least
they would try to be profited by the
lessons so sharply and SO mirthfully
presented. One or two of his sharp
points are worthy of repeating and may
not be amisS in reproducing for the
benefit of those who missed hearing
him. 1T is a mistaken idea that re-
ligion and long faces are necessarily
associated, if religion was properly un-
derstOod, our lives would be only sun
shine and music, and all with whom
we came in contact would realize that
the very atmosphere around us would
be contagious of mirth and good cheer"
Another thought: -It requires no
more eXertion to cultivate the spirit of
all the graces than il does the spirits of
the evil side in mans nature. In the
one case our very features become as if
they were touched by an angels brush
and fashioned like unto the image of
the author of all heavenly love and
goodness. On the other hand when
the evil passions of our nature are cul-
| tivated the very lineaments of our face
reflect the fact that a demon from below
has been busy with his distorting hand,
marring the fair face of innocence
which came from the loving author of
our being"
The next of the series will be con-
cert by the Bliss Concert Co. who are
very highly spoken of by the press and
will no doubt be a treat of rare excel
lence.
TO Mr. Campbell. our Principal, we
are indebted for these choice entertain
ments. The object being two-fold.
First, to meet felt want in the COM
munity for class Of entertainments of
a high moral tone, that will tend to
elevate the public mind, and secondly
to raise fund to purchase organs for
the several departments of the school,.
1t is hopeful the public will appreciate
Mr.. Campbell's efforts and give the en-
tertainments good rousing attendance.

The silver craze that is now
sweeping over the west very closely re-
sembles the old greenback craze in
many of its manifestations. 1t appears
to have great strength as that did, and
| the professions that it will sweep the
wesg ara abundant and confident, just as
they were in regard to the greenback
heresy. But we are inclined to think
| that it cannot survive vigorous and per-
sistent attack any more than the green
back craze did. Up TO the present
time it has been allowed too
much to have its own way. Instead
of combating it directly and Wig
orously most of the politicians Of both
parties have been inclined to be indulg-
emit to it, partly because they were afraid
OF it and partly because they thought it
might blow over. 1t was the same way
with the green back craze For a long
time politicians of both parties dallied
with it, and all that time it fourished
and grew. But when at last they were
forced to fight it openly and squarely
they soon discovered that it was largely
bugpear, and might have been put
out of the way long before by vigorous
treatment. When Garfield :. took the
stump IN Ohio and began to show up the
fallaeies of the Greenback movement, 1T
began to decline and was soon a thing of
the past. The trouble had been that the
promoters of the movement had so long
been allowed to preach their fallacies
without contradiction or exposure that
the people Thought they were unanswera-
Bile. lt was only necessary to answer them
TO destroy the influence they had built
up. Most all the prominent silver men
are takers and have kept their tongues
running continually. They have propa-
gated their doctrine everywhere in seas
on and out of season, and but little com :
paratively has been done to counterfeit
the effect of their words, and that little
has not always been of the most effective
sort. Pamphlets are we'll enough as far
as they go, bat they fail to reach the
people who are most in need of enlight-
eminent. What is needed is an open,
clear and frank discussion of the question
on the stump, by men who understand
the subject and who can state the case
simply and forcibly as Garfield did in the
Grsenback era.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-06-20

Now that the silver men have appar-
emily won the fight at Chicago tine sound
money Democrats have walked up and
are really showing some little vigor.
William @. Whitney has concluded to
postpone his trip to Europe to be present
at Chicago and fight for sound money.
and German has indicated his intention
OF taking hand in the contest. There
seems TO be no reason to doubt that the
jority in the convention, but as two
thirds are necessary to nominate oandi-
date the sound money men may even
now be able 60 get some concessions from
tn en-. A declaration for the gold stand =
ard is out of the question, but q straddle
which the sound money Democrats would
prsfer to an out and out declaration for
free silver may possibly be obtained. The
fact that & free silver declaration will
split the party in two, while a straddle
which may promise really as much
though less openly, may be the means of
keeping it together may make some i'm
preston on the silver men. But these
Q-ORAO VAL AbfO ulio EOWGE W no W nauSO-
ever they will in the matter of platform
and the sound money Democrats will
have to rely chiefly upon the generosity
of the silver men to get any concession.
Practically all The sound money Demo-
crafts hope for is sufficient medication of
the free silver demand to keep the party
from going to pieces They may talk
about making q fight for gold and may
make one. but it will be made with con-
victions from the start that it will foil of
Its ostensible purpose. Possibly if the
sound money Democrats had gone to
work some time ago with something like
the energy that they are now manifest
ing at the eleventh hour they might have
been able to appear at the convention as
dictators. AS it ia whatever their
pretense they will really go there as sup
plants, begging the free silver yictors to
abate something of their demands in Or
dsa to save the party from destruction.
