"It is with pleasure 1 tell you
that by one days use of Chamber

of very severe cold. My head
was completely stopped up and l
could not sleep at night. l can
recommend this remedy" A cold
nearly always starts in the head
and afterward extends to the
throat and lungs. By using this
remedy freely as soon as the cold
has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from
extending to the lungs. If

SEWER TALK.
The People Should Stand By the City as
Against the Rapacity of the
Contractors,

Against Lu6 hdpdClIy VI tAo
Contractors.
Written for the LIGHT
Whatever may be the final re-
| suit OF the grand jury pending in
vestigation into the sewer matter
4 the subject has certainly assumed
Ia gravity and menace which calls
for prompt and drastic action upon
the part Of taxpayers. However
much the present unfortunate
state Of affairs may be due to the
rspacity Of the contractors, as
suredly the administration can
not be held blameless. In
spite of repeated warnings, re-
CARELESS Of the, most current pro-
tests and specified charges against
the work and material, those in
authority have permitted matters
to drift from bad to worse, until
now the city is threatened with
the most dire consequences, both
as regards the success Of its sewer
undertaking and proper return
OF some fair equivalent for the
large sum Of money voted by the
people.
In this emergency, self-protec-
tion suggests that the taxpayers
should present a solid and unified
front, and discarding all feelings
of partisanship and prejudice,
stand by the administration in
whatever efforts it may make to
redeem past errors and protect
the rights as we'll as interests OF
the city against the present ex.
traordinary and unheard of de-
mands of the contractors.
The records of courts furnish
evidence of the institution Of
many sensational suits based up
on extravagant and utterly nuter-
able promises, but it is doubtful
if ever before such extraordinary
claims and absurd demands were
seriously presented to a court as
are contained in the petition
presented to the United States
court at Austin, a few days ago,
by the sewer contractors against
the city. A significant feature Of
the proceeding is the course Of
the plaintiffs in contemptuousiy
ignoring the state courts and pre-
ferriug their appeal to the federal
tribunsl-correct admission upon
their part OF lack OF confidence in
the integrity or wisdom OF our
state courts, and a palpable and
direct insult to our local judiciary.
AS non-residents, Of course they
can avail themselves OF the previ-
lege OF removing the settle
ment of their differences with the
city from adjudication by the
courts of the states but such ad-
vantage, IL advantage it be, will
hardly avail to strengthen their
claims or remove a prevalent be-
lief that they are preferred more
with a hope to coerce the city than
a serious belief that they will be
sustained as just and proper.
Stripped of It's legal verbiage
and monotonous tsutology, the
petition of the sewer contractors
demands that the federal court
shall sustain and expose their
ridiculous claim for the sum OF
17,O95,69 as extra compensation
for work thus far done on the
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-03-23

loyal support. Not without reason,
many will protest; but protesta-
tions can come at another time
and under different circumstances.
Patriotism, self-interest, commu-
nifty pride, just Indignation at the
insult placed upon our city and
state by this action Of the con-
tractors, to say nothing of the gra-
tuitous effort to blacken and be-
smirch the good name and finan-
cial integrity Of San Antonio,
should prompt every citizen to
stand by the administration in its
struggle with the octopus which
seeks to strangle the city.
True. the administration has
been over partial to the contrac-
tors from the inception Of the
sewer work; but in the face Of the
common danger, its laches and
lapses can be temporarily over
looked II not condoned. Mayor
| Elmendorf and members Of the
city council have much to explain,
and later may be called upon to
render an account OF their steward
ship; but the present is not the
proper time to indulge in crimina-
ton or work soiled linen. In time,
it may become necessary; but I'M
til that time, let all our energies
be directed and devoted to protect
the revenue Of the city against the
constituencies raids of what ap-
pears to be a premeditated pro-
gram to confiscate them.
|
The efforts Of the sewer contrac-
tors to bulldoze and coerce the city
into a recognition of claims which
possess no validity in either law or
morals cannot and will not succeed,
IL the administration will but
stand firm and Indignantly reject
all offers Of compromise, which
will assuredly come in some form
or other. Two wrongs never made
a right, and therefore the admins.
tration can entertain no protfers
of compromise from the enemy
, without CONFRONTING itself. The
time for darying and compromis'
3 ing las passed. Let the contractors
complete their work according to
5 the specifications The hour FOR
! temporizing has passed. II they
3 are unable, either through incllna.
| ton or lack Of means, to proceed,
let the fact be quickly understood
: in order that other measures may
be adopted for the immediate COM.
pietion nt an undertaking already
, too long and unnecessarily delayed.

Under these circumstances, the
duty Of every citizen and taxpayer
is plain-stand by the administra-
ton and strengthen its hands by
moral support and material means.
Local jealousies and petty preju-
dices must be subordinated, in
this supreme moment, to the pub
lie good. The taxpayers are con-
fronted with a common enemy,
and the interest of one is the con-
Germ Of all. The present is no time
for local chickering's and partisan
recriminations. The issue has
been joined, but no fear need be
apprehended, if the people of San
Antonio will stand solidly togeth-
er and lend the administration a

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April S.--Spc-
cial,-The action OF the Senate yesterday
In adopting Senator Pasco's amendment
to the post-oiace appropriation BILL pro-
hibiting the extension OF the city post
Office districts beyond the corporate linz
its or boundaries Of the cities themselves.
furnished an illustration Of how easily
members OF that august body can cease
to be statcgmen and become mere petty
Jogging politicians The sole purpose OF
the Post-Ohlce Department In consOli-
dating small fourth-class post-oAlces with
the large city Office, was 10 improve the
service. Small suburban villages near
the large cities and connected With them
By steam and electric railroads. Were TO
be given the benefit OF a metropolitan
mail system, while the cities were to be
benefited by the rapid and frequent trans
mission OF mails from these neighbor-
ms villages TO the city offices.
FREQUENT DELIVERIES.
In addition to this, the city postmas-
ter were TO have supervision over the
small offices, take charge OF their sup
plies, and audit their accounts. The
small post-0fiiccs thus consolidated with
the large were TO become sub-stations OF
the city offices, and the postmasters were
TO be made clerks and placed within the
CLASSIFIED civil service. This was. in brief,
the plan which Senator GoIman and oth-
crs denounced upon tlt floor OF the Sem
ate as an outm ,e upon the people of ne
country. Under the pretelse that they
were working for the interests Of the peo-
PIE a4d against what they termed The
absorption of the peoples Offices by the
cities. a majority Of the Senate grayely
voted 10 put a stop 10 all further Inn
proNements of the mail service TO subur-
ban points, and. provided. that every
thing the Post-Ofiice Department has done
IN this direction shall be speedily undone.
The real cause of this action, however.
is not conceded by this fimsy pretext.
What the politicians Of the Senate
wished 10 prohibit was the inclusion OF
a number Of fOurth-class postmasters IN
the civil service and their consequent re.
moval from the reach of political workers.
70 the shame of the Democrats OF the
Senate, the action was taken by them.
only a few Republicans voting for the
Pasco amendment.
Senators Martin and Daniel both voted
for the amendment while Senators Faulk-
ner, Grey. Villas, and Mitchell were the
only Democrats who voted IN opposition.
As g. usual I'm such cases. the opposition
