There is to be a new popullst
paper started in this city on the
first OF April. The date is only a
coincidence. 1t is not to take any
part in local politics, only in ma
tiOnal questions.
There is nothing to be done in
the way of making that fair sue
cess but to hustle.
1t is not faith but works that
will avail in this fair business, and
it must be good work and with a
will or it will not avail.
There does not seem to be any
law against prize fighting in this
country so long as Corbett and
Fitzsimmons keep out of the ring,
and there is no danger Of their
breaking in at present.
That Kentucky muddle and it's
results has been disgraceful chap
ter in the history OF republicanism
in that state. Unsanctified ambi-
ton and dog-in-the-manger candi-
dates have done the business.
Between the flower battle and
the meeting Of the Epworth league
and Saengerfest, this old city will
have a chance to spread herself
during April.

There is no string attached to the
resolutions on Cuba that were orig
inally presented in the United
States senate by the committee on
foreign relations. The declarations
that have been made on floor of
the senate in support of the action
OF the committee afford very little
comfort to those who imagine that
the congress of the United States
is one whit less determined to see
that the Cubans have fair play now
than at first. Recognition Of the
belligerency OF the insurgents will

sure to accumulate in the sewers,
and the only method Of preventing
these gases from entering our
dwellings is these perforations in
the manhole cover.
Like the young mau at the pic
mic climbing tree to put up
swing for the girls, he had only
one suspender, and one end Of that
was fastened with hair pin. 1t
was remarked that there was
heap Of responsibility attached to
that hair pin.
There is also heap OF RESPONSE
bility attached to these ventilator
holes; they are Of vital Importance
to the safety OF the sewers. Just
the same as a safety valve is to a
steam boiler. Yet this great moral
Yankee "Pecksniff" who swear
he designed them does not know
how many holes there are nor the
size of them. Just try to imagine
a mechanical engineer not know
ing the size or number OF the safe
ty valves of steam plant he had
designed, and for the supervision
Of which he was then receiving
$3.50 per month.
Mr.. S. NJ. Gray does admit his
ignorance unblushingly, but the
chances are that Mr.. Gray did not
design this system at all he prob
ably employs some poor impecun.
ious devils to do the office work
and mental drudgery for him.

M. Gray is not the American pope,
he does not wear au halo around
his sanity brow, he is poor fall
ible mortal like ourselves, there

anime these manhole covers,
and the ventilator holes therein.
These ventilator holes are, Mr..
Gray says, the only method Of pro-
tecting your loved ones from the
deadly sewer gas, that would other
wise be sure to enter your dwell
lings.
See IL each one Of these ventila-
tor holes are not located in a minia-
ture catch basin Of its own so that
all the storm water that falls on
them, will surely 60 into the sewer,
and as they are designed and con-
str ucted this will certainly happen
OF the location of the
manholes, be they in the middle
or side OF the street, yet, Mr.. Gray
says, that the storm water must
not get into the sewers.
See il the great majority of these
ventilator holes are not plugged
up with mud, this mud securely
held in place by the ridiculous de-
sign of these man hole covers. The
ventilator holes being stupidity To-
Gated in depression instead Of an
Look for yourselves,
see If you can, how these foul dead

SATURDAY, MARCH 81, '96

While the criticisms are going
the rounds as to the bimetalist
declarations of the Ohio platform,
and William Mckinley is being
hauled over the Goals for his decla-
rations favoring all kinds of money
and declaring that their party
must be maintained 1T is refresh
ing to read the decision of the
Court of Appeals of Illinois, in a
suit between heavy corporations
and the Farmers Loan and Trust
company. The court af1irms the
decision Of the lower court as to
the debt but orders the lower court
to modify the decree as to pay
ment, which reads "In gold coin
Of the United States, at the present
standard of tineness," and make
it read "any coin recognized as
legal tender" This is what we are
all coming to, trust companies and
all the rest. Legal tender money
is to go, and one kind is to be &C
cepted as good as another. This is
just what Mckinley has always
advocated, and his speeches in con-
gress are on record. 1t is too late
in the day to try and make of the
great Ohio protectionist either a
gold bug or free silverite. He is
for money of all kinds, but not Of
all values, and wants the money of
the poor and of the rich to be of
one value as to all that it can pur.
chase or pay debts with in this
country. The people are with Nc
Kinley here.

ABOUT SEWERS.

Extracts from Consulting Engineer
Gray'S testimony In the Thirty
seventh District Court.
Questionable. Gray do you know
anything about the system of
sewers now in course OF con struc-
tion for the city of San Antonio?
Answer-Yes, sir.
Q-Have you any connection
with it?
Al designed the system, and
am consulting for it at the present
time.
Q-Mr. Gray, what are manholes?
A-They are openings in the
sewer, carried up with brick work,
built in a circular form, capped
with an iron frame which has
cast iron removable cover, in or
der that you may ventilate the
sewers through the perforations in
the cover, and examine the sewer
in case OF stoppages.
Q-What is the object in venti-
lating the sewers?
A--Foul gases, are sure to &C
cumulate in the sewers, and unless
they can get out through into the
open air, they are sure to force
themselves back into the houses,
and there is nothing more injuri-
Gus to health, and detrimental, to
all sewerage systems than sewer
gas entering dwellings and the
only way of preventing it, is by
perforating the manholes and let
ting it into the open air in the
street.
Q-Where will the gas come out
IL not prevented?
A-Into basins, water sinks, bath
tubs, etc.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
Q-What are the sizes of the per-
forations in the manhole's cover?
Al should say about half an
inch.
els that the lower diameter,
or the upper portion Of your man
hole cover?
Al can't say positively, but my
recollection is, that the holes were
cast lower and J inch upper por-
ton.
O. for the lower?
A for the smaller, judging
now from my recollection.
Q-Fhe smallest is at the top?
A-No sir, at the bottom.
Q-How many holes are there in
an ordinary msnhole cover that
are being used here?
Al should think about a dozen
my recollection is about a dozen. L
am not positive as to any certain
number.
Now let US examine the sworn
testimony OF this modern Moses.
Possibly his middle name ia NJ oses.
He signs himself Samuel NJ. Gray.
This modern Moses has been paid.
H. is said, the fabulous sum of $751;
S37 by the city of San Antonio for
his services to date.
He swears that he designed the
system of sewers for the city OF
San Antonio.
Yet he does not know how many
perforations there are in the man
hole cover he says he designed. He
says there are about one dozen.
There are actually SO.
He swears the small end Of the
hole is at the bottom, when really
and truly the small end OF the hole
is on top, where 1t ought to be, so
that IL anything got into the hole
1t would have a chance to fall
through.
He swears that foul gases are
