walks and mud knee deep, the
street car company should extend
to its unfortunate serfs the slight
courtesy of temporary suspension
Of the rule. 1t should be said, In
all candor, that this feature named
is the only one Of metropolitan SER
vice which the company has seen
| fit to adopt in consideration OF the
many profitable favors and fran
chises extended it by the peoples
alleged representatives.
In clear, clean.cut campaign on
party lines with proper men as
nominees, the republicans can
carry Bexar county. The question
then may be asked: Why not put
out q straight republican ticket,
without consultation with the
mugwumps, Independents or FORM
ulators of "mixed tickets ?" Better
an honorable defeat. even, than a
disreputable and corrupt secure
ment OF few public offices.
The gen tlemen who stand ready
to unselfishly sacrifice their pri-
vate interests upon the public
altar, by accepting the places now
held by those Familiarity known as
the big Six" appear to be much
more selections over the situation
then do the gentlemen whom tn y
are DESTROYS of succeeding. The
latter manifest a most aggravating
calmuess and indifference. Later
on, however. they may display a
little interest and enthusiasm
The Waterworks company threat
ems to force the issue with the peo-
Pile even before the sewers are COM
pleted. Its policy of expediting
rates aud resuscitsting out
lawed claims, will not fail to bring
1t on, and then.
About the time the outlet sewers
are completed the probabilities are
that it will be necessary to begin
the work Of rebuilding the trunk
line; that Is, IL the sewer system,
as suggested by Mr.. Gray, is not to
be failure. John Kuefner's pro-
posed test should be applied to
every foot of the mains before they
are accepted by the city. But as
both the city engineer and the con-
tractors oppose such test, simple
though it is, it is not probable
that it will be applied.
In the absence of any other
method or means to secure some
remuneration for the many valued
public franchises donated to in
dividuals and corporations, the
city might secure some slight in
Identification by compelling the
assessor to at least place fair
valuation on the property OF the
water, light and street car COM
panies. The measure OF their pro-
fits as well as the intrinsic cost OF
their plants, should form the basis
of their respective valuations. Cor
poration property should be as
sessed in the same relative ratio
as that upon which the modest
homestead Of a mechanic is based.
The exposure to all sorts and
conditions of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in
the camps often produces severe
colds, which, II not promptly
checked, result in congestion or
pneumonia. Mr.. j. o. Davenport,
ex.mansger OF the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution
at Fort Bragg CAL, says they sell
large quantities Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, at the company's
store and that he has himself used
this remedy for a severe cold and
obtained Immediate relief. This
medicine prevents any tendency Of
a cold toward pneumonia and in
sures a prompt recovery. For sale
