Nature is only taking her revenge
on overprOductiOn of low class hui

Not that all the victims are of that
class, but the trouble originated there
and the others are paying the penalty
of making merchandise out of that
class. Attempts are being made and
they will be responded to, to meet the
terrible suffering, but no attempts will
be made to change the organic condi-
lions out of which such plauges spring

MONDAY, JANUARY IS. 1897.

There is no end of disSa abstraction
expressed with the committee assign
ments made by Speaker Dashiell
Without entering into any discussion
as to the merits of these appointments,
it is not unreasonable to conclude
that they have been made judiciously
and the trouble has been that the old
stock horses of the legislature have
not been pushed to the front as they
had anticipated, Judging purely by
past legislation one inclines to the
opinion that any departure from the
old methods of constituting the COM
mittees would be an Improvement. If
it is only the snubbing of old worth
lessness and the taking in of new ma
terial that is to be complained of. then
the state will congratulate the speak
or on the kick that is made against
his appointments.

NOT SATISFIED.

That there is a deep dissatisfaction
in the minds of the people Of this city,
outside of certain political cliques,
with the outlook for the coming cleo
ton. is too apparent to be denied.
Join any group of business men dis
cussing the situation, no matter what
their religion their business or their
politics, and you will hear expressions
of discomfort, dissatisfaction, open de-
nunciation of the methods by which
it is made to appear that certain cut
and dried movements, looking to the
putting out of a municipal ticket, are
movements of the people. That a rad
zeal change in the business methods
of this city is needed is so apparent
that it is idle to discuss it. That the
ordinary business sense that controls
the members of the board of alder
men in the conduct of their personal
affairs, deserts them on the threshold

real business administration of the af-
fairs of the city, such as would make
city business the first business of the
city council, is a something not yet
known in San Antonio. This is what
is wanted. There is no hope of getting
it through any movements now open
ly made. There is but one way in
which it can be done, and that is by
business men of standing and brains
cutting loose and undertaking the
matter themselves. There are eight
wards in this city. Three or four
men out of each ward are sufficient
to set ball rolling that will bury the
present efforts to continue the old
gangs completely out of sight. Con-
cert of action among these business
men. with mutual pledge to take
what ever end of the lever is given
them and press it. regardless of how
it affects them or their business. the
interests of the taxpayers of the city
alone considered, would soon stir this
city to it's center and bring out to the
aid of these citizens host of able CO.
adjutors who would make success
assured. There is no contingency in
this matter. San Antonio is ripe for
this thing The man to start the ball
is alone wanting. He must be Il man

BUSINESS MEMS CLUB.

The Business Mems club of this city
should not be allowed to pass in its
checks. 1t has done good work for
the industries of the city, it is in the
best possible condition through or
ganization and previous experience,
to accomplish much for the commerce
and creative industries of this sec
ton of the state, and it should not be
allowed to dis5and because of a lack
of interest in its work. San Antonio
has as yet no esprit de corps. such as
animateS the cities of the newer
| growthS, and out of which is born
| that concert of action that sweeps
aside all opposition to that which I.
deemed of necessity for the growth
improvement and development every
way OF the city. Through this Bust
ness Mems club such spirit is beiny
iostered. Perhaps it were trucr to say
created and fOstered, for as vet il is
not really created, is only in process
OF creating. The figures of the club.
as shown in its annual report, attest
that the club has done splendid work
with the means at its command. that
1t can carry on it's work with real
economy and that it is not serving
any one seltishly, but is working with
out favoritiSm in any way for the in
crease of the city in every direction.
That such an institution is needed
here is so plain that argument is vast
Ell in discussing that. That it can be
sustained here, Il review of the past
year demonstrates. That it will do
good. its past record evinceS. The
length of its tether has come. 1t can
not so farther without means. The
membership must be recruited. The
present members have declined to be
responsible for a continuation of the
work unless memberships are increas-
ed and funds provided either that way
or voluntarily by those interested. Tn
less the financial way is opened the
work will be abandoned and the club
disbanded when the adjourned meet
ing is held on the Goth. San Antonio
can not afford to throw this thing
overheard. The Business Mems club
can do business as individuals with
out it. The city is not able TO do
without it unless at n loss. II is ey-
cry ones business and every one
should take enough interest to put up
for an individual membership fee. if
for no more That club is entitled to the
support of Il thousand memberships
in this city. The more members the
lighter the burden on each. Are you
Il member? Why not? And if not
why not now?
