LONG SHOTS.

Written for the Sunday Light
One pull at the public teat seems to
invest the beneficiary with the belief
that he has acquired hereditary right
and title to be pensioned upon the pub
lie and forever draw the nouriSling
tactical at the expense of the taxpayers.
1t would really be interesting to OBJ
serve how some of the oldfasts would
set about to earn a living if once they
lost their grip on public office and were
turned out on the range to Craze. Let
us at least hope so.
Mayor Callaghan is making an envi-
able record as a watchful, progressive
and industrious chief executive, inso-
far as the minor details of administra-
ton are concerned. If he shall only
succeed in doing as well in the more
weighty and important questions under
consideration and to rise, ne will fully
meet the high expectations of his most
enthusiastic eulogists.
The sewers having virtually been
completed, the perplexing problem
presents, What's to be done with the
loyal inspectors who will be out of a
job? A brief six months employment
is but poor compensation for twelve
month service in arduous campaign
work. Doubtless remunerative holes
however, will be found or created in
which to place all superiuous pegs.
Thanks to the lynx-eyed and keen
scented sleuth hounds of our local force
some of whom could readily detect in
crowd Of ten thousand the clown in
circus, provided he were in the ring
and arrayed in barber pole tights and
harlequin garb, the city has been clear
ed it is alleged, of all crooks, Migrants
and suspicious characters generally.
But it might be we'll enough for the
prudent citizen, during the coming two
weeks at least, to double-loCk all doors
leading to his valuables and keep a So
cial siX-shooter or double-barrelled
shotgun within easy reach of the head
of his bed.
For the amount of money they pay
the citizens of the suburbs of San An
tonic, and especially those residing
in the Prospect hill and Lakeview
nieghborhoods, receive as few munich
pal fovars or benefits as any people
under the sun who are taxed for the
same. They are absolutely without
fire protection, have neither passable
streets nor sidewalks, while the meagre
and totally inadequate school facilities
are farce and an aggravation. Why
| cannot some spirit of equity be shown
and return to these people, in perma-
nent public improvements, a portion
| at least Of the money collected from
them, instead of expanding II all in
identifying and enhancing the more
favored property of the main and CEN
trail portions of the city? That's what
they would like to know.
! The statement that City Treasurer
Herff receives a salary of 1900 per an
mum from the city is in the main cor
rect, but like many other statements
which bear the impress of fact upon
! them, it is eminently misleading. The
truth is, the incumbent of the office
of city treasurer derives a larger in
come from his salary and commissions
than is received by any officer in the
city or county, and double that paid
the governor or states supreme judg-
es. OF course, there is neither wis
dom, sense nor justice to the overbur-
dened taxpayers that this should be
