SHORT SNAPS.

To fuse in politics is one thing and
to deliver the goods in another.
The city administration is admins
tering daily bread-so says Auditor
Meyer.
When local politics open up in Bex-
ar county national affairs will take a
back seat.
Will it be city hall VS.. courthouse,
or will it be combine of the two VS..
the people.
Candidate Slayden has gone to
work in earnest, by the liberal use of
printers ink.
Every office-holder who lives upon
the taxes paid by the people should
himself be a taxpayer.
The bull dog should not be permit
ed to run at large in the city limits,
muzled or unmuzzled.
The people are suspicious of fusion;
it is grandmother to local combines,
and political corruption.
The Erie Presse, Stats Zeitung and
Daily Light would make strong
combine on the east side.
We are glad that Col. Slayden has
started 16 to 1 organ; it will keep
Oscar off the quail range for several
weeks.
If you want to get rid of personal
politics join the Republicans and help
them get out straight Republican
county ticket.
If the city administration would
give the boys their "daily bread" a
little oftener than once in six months
they would not get so hungry.
The ''Texas Democrat" of course,
this brand of Democrat don't count,
is troubled about the prominent col
ored citizens who read the Express.
Three local chairman, chaperOned
by that simon-pure unregenerated
Democrat, Charles Scheidemantel,
came in on the West End route this
morning. -
The office-holder who does not own
any property and does not pay one
dollar in the city taxes, has no right
to harp about other people not paying
their taxes.
Why, we are going to have war!
Oscar shouts: "Laboring man stand
to your guns" "Slayden for con-
gress.' Now come oscar dear"

Especial Chicago Letter.l


The fool is still abroad in the land.
That was conclusively demonstrated
after the result of the presidential cleo
tion had been published and the chumps
who had made peculiar election wagers
began to make public exhibitions of
themselves. 1t is simply impossible to
give a complete list of the asinine wag-
ers made in this year of grace 1896, but
to satisfy myself of the genuineness of
a few of the most absurd L instituted
inquiries which satisfy me that those
about to bedetailed were not only made,
but have been, or will be, carried out to
the letter.
Charles Cook, an otherwise sensible
Chicagoan, stood for eight hours on a
frequented street corner, grinding a
hand organ and holding a tin cup to col
sect enough money to pay his oppon-
ent's expenses of trip to Mexico. The
receipts of the exhibition did not yield
sufficient cash and Cook had to make up
the deficit from his own purse. No
monkey was needed in this instance
to make the masquerade realistic, the
grinder being monkey enough to satisfy
every spectator and contributor.

Harrison Logan, a beau of Nnperville,

terms of which compelled him to go to
the young lady's home where. in the
presence of a company of mutual

wash all the unclean dishes in the house
and sweep the floors. Had Miss Earn

the Logan home and saw wood for 80
minutes.
Philip Hildreth. a Philadelphia, had
to push a peanut twice around the city
hall with a baseball bat. The operation
took 80 minutes, and ten peanuts were
smashed before the task was completed.
William McCauley, another Philadel-
phian, rode in a hearse from the center
of the city to Mount Moriah cemetery,
with the winner of the bet sitting on
the box with the driver and blowing a
tin horn. Inasmuch as travelling in a
hearse is considered rapid transit in
Philadelphia, this wager is not as stupid
as might be supposed by some.

AS choice a collection of pumpkin

gave an exhibition in the little town OF
Lisle, a suburb of Chicago. Thirteen
-members of Bryan club agreed that
an case of McKinley's election they
would parade the streets of the town
wearing large pumpkins over their
heads. A few days after the election
the defeated silver men appeared on
the village streets, clad in campaign
regalia, their heads but flimsily dis

number of Mckinley men followed and
kept up a hair-splitting racket while
the procession was in motion. They

would minimize their city. The oldest
inhabitants actually shed tears when
the post office was merged into the
Washington office. It was a palpable
manifestation of the fact that George
town was either in decadence or at q
standstill, while the business world was
marching along in progressive process

And now the office of collector OF
customs is to be abolished. The orig
inal commission given to Collector Lin
gan recites the fact that whereas. dur
ing the revolutionary war. he had
served without salary, he should receive
an annual salary of 5000 from the date
of his commission. The Coleman mu-
scum of Georgetown college shows his
gorgeous snuff-colored suit and satin
waistcoat with real gold buttons, and
evidently he was a man of high rank
in those days. He was flour inspector
as well as collector of customs. In 1892
Collector Lingan and all of the offics
holders appointed by President Wash
lngton. were required TO repeat and
sign the following religious test oath:
1T. -. do declare that I believe that
there Is no transubstantiation in the Sac
rament of the Lords Supper or in the ele-
ments of bread and wine. at or after the

So it appears that there were ex-
tremists on religion in those days as
