M'KINLEY AND BRYAN.
A Tip to the Managers of the Great
Interstate Drill.

Interstate Drill.
/ The movement to hold grand mill
tary drill in San Antonio during the
coming month has grown from a local
| undertaking to that of an Interstate
affair. Every indication encourages
the belief that the drill will bring to-
gether a larger body of citizen soldiery
than ever before assembled, at least
in the south, under similar circum-
stances, and presages on eclat and bril-
| liancy which will set the pace for all
subsequent gatherings of like nature.
The beauty and the chivalry from
many states will gather here, and why
not the wisdom and eloquence and in
tellect of the Nation?
To this end, would it not be gra-
cious and graceful act upon the part OF
the drill managers TO extend to Pres,
ident Mckinley and Hon. VIM. Bryan
a special personal invitation to be
present at least at the inaugural cere-
monies? Such an act of courtesy and
consideration to these two distinguish
ed and foremost citizens of the repub-
lie would evidence spirit of hospitality
and Americanism upon the part of the
drill managers which would net be
without the most beneficial effect, and
serve to attract thousands OF addi-
tional visitors to the city in the event
either or both of the gentlemen ac-
knowledged the invitation with their
presence.
There is no partisanship, no section
alism, no politics in this drill enter
prise. and the Light earnestly trusts
that it's suggestion will be taken up
by those in authority and promptly
and affirmatively acted upon

SUNDAY SHORT SNAPS.

Although we may hit some OF our
friends, all street car companies must
be treated alike.
The big artesian we'll at the court
house has not diminished the demand
for Santone beer.
There are not few of these 81 love
and affection real estate transfers done
to escape the too anxious creditor.
Our citizens would keep much of
their money at home by withdrawing
their patronage to the "Out of town"
excursions.
One of the serious problems facing
our city dads is shall the city regulate
the corporations or shall the corpora
tons run the city.
A hundred artesian wells in Bexar
county would be of more value to the
taxpayers than the building of bridges
across dry creeks.
Alderman Surkey will please get up
and shout little for the Third ward;
nothing like raising little hallelujah
even if you do get sat upon.
1t is about time our people boycotted
these out-town excursions and ask the
railroads to be little more liberal in
running excursions into town.
The tax payers can expect no relief
until the city owns it's own water and
electric light plants and charge for all
franchises monopolizing the streets.
"a town that pays the preacher and
supports the editor is so close to heav-
en- that it is almost in competition with
it-From Biliville in Atlanta Constitu-
ton"
Mayor Callaghan built us our fine
city hall and we hope he will build US
a fine market house, even if the weeds
must be allowed to grow in the sub
urbs.
If excursion trains can be run profit
ably between Houston and Galveston
for fifty cents for the round trip, one
dollar from Austin to San Antonio
would be about right.
You have no right to expect your
home newspaper to grow and give you
a better paper so long as you spend
your money on every fake advertising
scheme that comes along.
Our railroads should give San Anto-
Mo little fairer shake in the excur-
sion business. Give the country peo-
pie a chance to come to town on Sat
urday and spend Sunday with us.
The dog catchers are not supposed to
use their best efforts in picking up the
worthless ours; there is more money in
corralling the most valuable dogs of
citizens who will pay them out.
When a short-sighted merchant dis
covers he has been successfully work
ed" by a fake" he at once begins to
get revenge 60 by cutting down his
only legitimate advertising, in the dali
ly newspaper.
The streets in Alderman Tom Con-
nor's old ward, (the Second), are still
the best in the city. Alderman Tom
was not the smartest man in the
council, but when it came to practical
results, he got there with both feet.
AS the suburban tax payer gets but
very little recognition in the way of
police protection, they should be exempt
from the raids of the dog catcher, es-
pecially when there are thousands of
worthless ours down in the heart Of the
city that should be impounded.
The taxpayers will give thanks to
District Attorney Levy for his efforts
to clean up the criminal docket, in call
ling up the old cases and either trying

Trouble over Payment to Freedmen.

Trouble over Payment TO Freedmen.
Washington, May ll.-Assist-
ant Secretary Ryan began in
quiry today into the trouble
over the payment of the Chero-
kee freedmen, or negroes, in
the Indian Territory, which was
recently suddenly suspended
after many YeXatious delays
had been encountered.
Special Disbursing Agent
Dickinson, who was summoned
back, and doubtless will be sue
ceeded by an army officer, In
dian Inspector Mclaughlin and
Chief White of the Indian di-
vision, were present.
The inquiry embraced an in
spection of the fIeedmcn's rolls
and methods of identification
adopted by Agent Dickinson in
making the payment. review
of the mandamus proceedings
which were the direct cause of
the stoppage of the payment.
1t was shown that of the fund
the government is charged with
paying to the freedmen amount
ing to $Sj0,95l, there remains
unpaid $262 $50.
OF the fund which the Chero-
KEGS are to pay the freedmen
direct, aggregating 100000,
there being already paid out
$126, 900 for expenses on the or
ders of the trustee of the freed
men. This leaves $274,0O0 of
that fund unpaid. This latter
payment, it is understood, will
closely follow the payment of
the balance of the government
fund, which probably will be
resumed in a fortnight or a
month.
Agent Dickinson presented
his version of the trouble and
pointed out the complicated
condition of the rolls and AT
tributed the delays to the pecu-
liar state of affairs among the
freedmen.

WHAT ABOUT STREET LIGHTs2

Do we or do we not want
them! is the question to be
decided by our merchants and
property holders along Main
street. That we do need them
is patent 10 any person unfortu-
nate enough 10 have business

II cannot be expected that
the electric light company Will

own accord, for they have no
earthly use for them.
The ARDMOREITE sees a plan
which we believe will, ut a
small cost to any one party,
give us good and beneficial
light on our main thoroughfare.
1t is this: BY having an are
light at each street crossing on
Main from the opera house to
the court house. 1t is bound
to benefit every business man
some. Let each contribute an
amount in proportion to the adj
vantage derived from the light.
Those in the center of the
block would of course be the
smallest contributors.
We believe that Il canvass OF
our business men would be
worth while on that line; anC
