ONE CHARLEY HEARD FROM.

CITY HALL, SAN ANTONIO,
January 30, 1896.
To the Daily LIGHT:
In your last Sundays issue you
ask the question: (which Charley
furnished Rev. Craig his figures"
1t is asserted that 1t implies that
some Charley at, or from, the city
hall furnished the very liberal re-
former his statistical statements.
Well, now, there are at the city
hall five or six Charles on the
third floor, two on the second floor,
and do not know how many on
the first floor, but being one of the
Charles myself and knowing that
San Antonio is too liberal a city to
covet the hypocrisy practiced un.
der the "blue laws" of Yankeedom,
1 will state that my skirts are
clear from furnishing artillery to
the most remote enemies of per-
sonal liberty. Still, the public
offices are open and Rev. Craig is,
by his friends, reported to be one OF
the most liberal of pulpit orators.
I will therefore say that some time
ago l was asked to, and did obtain
list, but for another purpose
through the courtesy of Deputy U.
s. Revenue Collector Coley-of all
parties paying Uncle Sam a license
on tobacco or liquor sales, and had
Rev. Craig asked me for my list /
would have allowed him an inspec.
ton of the same. This was not
done, perhaps, because l do not

would at once have recognized it
only as a courtesy extended to a
minister of the gospel without my
having become an advocate of
futile rawlings against "the sins
that flesh is heir to-" sins that can
not be stamped out by intercourse
with the vices, nor entirely sup
pressed by fear of the law, that can
only try to control them. Is it not
possible that IL might have been a
Tom, Dick or q Harry that aided
Rev. Craig in his well conceived,
but badly published, crusade
against the moral standing Of our
city? II the offender-if such he

IN OLD TIMES

People overlooked the Importance
of permanently beneficial effects
and were satisfied with transient
action; but now that it is general
ly known that Syrup Of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual
constipation, well-informed people
will not buy other laxatives, which
act for time, but finally injure
the system.

WIRE NAIL POOL


VIII Dlscontinuc Pay Ing Subsidies To-
dny-Whnt Ono Manufacturer Says.
CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. 23.-It Is an
nounced that beginning tomorrow the
wire nail pool will discontinue paying
subsidies to the wire manufacturers to
keep them out of the market. 1t Is be-
lieved that this indicates the intention
on the part of the pool to crowd the small
wire nail manufacturers out of the field.
a manufacturer who sells steel rods to
wire nail concerns said to-day: when
the wire nall pool was organized 81 70 n
keg was made the basis and for each
keS sold the manufacturer who entered
into this 'gentlemens agreement" was
to receive that sum, the money coming
through the combination and the sales
being made by the officers Of the pool,
who have their headquarters in Boston.
The output for each mill was fixed by
these officers In order that the supply Of
nails should not. exceed the demand and
thus bear the market. The sales being
made through the office of the pool, each
manufacturer In 1t was credited with
81 70 for every keg sold. and the differ
ence between the pool price and the mar
ket price was turned into the treasury
and invested in good interest-bcaring
securities. This surplus fund has reach
ed good size and Is owned by the pool
as n whole. What will be done with It
only those on the inside know. but 1t Is
believed that 1t will be used In bolsterlng
up the pool manufacturers while the
small fry are being strangled out Of ex-
iStcnce by the pool"

The Wheeling chamber Of commerce
held q well attended and interesting
meeting in It's rooms In the Hub build
Ing last night. More spirit and determi-
nation were shown at this meeting
than at any other held recently. All OF
the subjects brought UP were debated
earnestly and In detail. One Of the
most important matters considered was
the communication from the Wheeling
Natural Gas Company. the concern
that was turned down last week by the
council committee on ordinances, when
1t applied for a slight extension Of Its
franchise. 80 that 1t could deliver to
Wheeling manufacturers and business
men who are, by q technicalIty, dis
covered by the city solicitor and used
by the board of public works. unable
to get tina cheap fuel gas from the
great Cameron field. which the Wheel
Ing company was fortunate enough to
develop and Is trying to give the bene-
fit OF TO Wheeling. The discussion that
followed showed that there was a un-
RHAklSdo ICoiIC " oCS stF@ " hISiAh .
company given q chance in the form
OF an amended franchise that will
allow 1t to furnish gas to all business
houses and manufacturers for uses
aside from domestic consumption, to
which field the Natural Gas Company
OF West Virginia Is now given exclusive
occupancy by franchise that Is said
to possess an inability TO hold water
legally. The discussion advanced be-
yond even this point, Senator Whitaker
voicing the desire Of many when he ad-
vocated giving the Wheeling company
the same rights held by the West Vir-
ginia, In order that competition, both
for domestic and manufacturing con-
sumption Of gas, might be brought
about.
The members of the chamber also
discussed the city charter, and COM
mIttee of eight was appointed to take
steps toward securing the adoption Of
the instrument, at the approaching
special election, slated for December %.
The faulty construction, indeed 1t
hardly deserves the title of construc-
ton, of the present charter was spo-
ken Of. and 1t was agreed that a new
charter Is needed. but some OF the
features of the new charter were also
thought to be undesirable. But the
chamber goes on the principle that an
Improvement, however slight, Is better
than the present situation. l..

Republican United States senator from
ONO. MIR. Hanna's course must be de-
clded by Senator John Sherman. Both
the chairman and Mr.. Mckinley UNDER
stand that, and they ure waiting 10 learn
what position Mr.. Sherman will take.
Mr.. Mckinley wants Mr.. Hanna to &C.
cept the treasury portfolio, but Mr..
Hanna has other aspirations. He be-
lleves 1t would be greater honor to be
senator from Ohio, but Senator Sher-
man standsdn the way OF that.
Mr.. Mckinley will offer Senator Sher-
man the position of secretary OF state,
and II he declines to go into the cabinet,
then MT. Hanna will accept the position
or secretary Of the treasury. Should
Mr.. Sherman decide, however, to be-
come one of Mr. McKinley's advisers,
thus vacating his seat In the senate, Mr..
Hanna will become his successor. Mr..
Mckinley will not decide on his course
until he learns exactly what position
Senator Sherman will take"
This same friend Of Mr.. Hanna said
that 1t had practically been decided that
Congressman Boutelle, of Maine, would
be the secretary OF the navy. Despite
the fact that both General Miles and
Colonel Fred Grant held n conference
with Mr.. Mckinley. neither Of them,
says this gentleman, will get the port

Express to-day. commenting on the
wheat outlook, says:
Eve expect that the decrease OF the
French wheat acreage. in 1897. owing to
the latencss of the seeding season, will
be much larger than any increase in this
country. The sowings Of Azima wheat
In Russia are now admitted to be smaller
than usual. The rise In prices has slim
ulated Russian markets and the line OF
spring Ghirka sowinss is likely to Offset
the Azlma deficiency. We must await
further news from india before conclud-
ing that the drought Is over. Injury has
been In any event already done and there
cannot be any wheat available for ex-
port prior to April, 1898. Australia Is
importing California wheat and has no
surplus available for shipments to Eu-
rope" 5su
Commenting upon the past weeks
quiet markets the Mark Lane Express
remarks:
THE farmers are spelling the market
by over supply. We suggest that CEN

growers, pledged to sell only In such
quantities as the situation demands"

says: "The advance OF IS Cd in the price
