RETURNS THEM A BRICKBAT.

RETURNS THEM A BRlCkBAT.
To the Non Partisan Executive Com
mittee:
Sirs:-Since your misstatements in
this mornings Express need correc-
ton let me say: There is no brick
mandatory in or near this city
known as the b. Il. NJ. brick yard,
but the company making the best
brick in Texas is known as the BEN
Brick company, and neither Henry
Elmendorf nor any of the three Mouse
bach brothers of this city are members
of the BEN Brick company.
l emphatically deny that this COM
pany has furnished a large part of the
brick in the outfall sewer but it has
I regret to add. furnished only 10000
out of 100000 used in the construc-
ton of said sewer. the other 2,9oO,-
900 having been imported from Mon
terey, Mex.
The BEN Brick company has fur
nished to date not over one-foulth
million brick to the gathering sewers
system and the balance of fully two
and three-fOurth million have been
furnished by other manufacturers
in Calaveras. Gonzales. Laredo and
Monterey. If all could have been fur
nished by the company | represent
the city of San Antonio would have
been the gamer. as the BEN brick are
in each and every respect better than
any other kind or make of brick used
in the sewers to this day.
Regarding my resignation from the
nn1,nniI sshnfnrn fI1r.ri Sh inor hp..l- n
the city" | emphatically declare that
neither | individually, nor the COM
pany. have ever furnished one single
brick to the city of Can Antonio ex-
cept the best samples of brick ever
submitted to the city engineer for eX-
animation.
| have always held and still believe
there would have been no imprOprie-
ty or wrong in my selling brick while
an alderman to any contractor. who
might enter into an agreement with
the city to furnish such materials and
perform such labor as his contract,
specifications, etc, require. His OBJ
legation to the city consists in faith
fully performing his contract in ev-
cry particular, and it is his business
to find the labor. skilled or unskilled,
to buy and supply proper materials
required under the contract and not
the city's. If, however, the city had
elected to directly purchase the mate
rails and furnish these to the cOntrac-
tor, then | as an alderman would
have been debarred from selling brick.
This l honestly believe, and do not
hesitate to say my standard of NOR
Atty is not inferior to that of any of
my fellow men here or elsewhere.

COUSIN WANTS BIGGER FEES
wv shin gtOn Post.(

Cousin William Mckinley Osborne is
canvassing the Senate and House of
Representatives to secure sufficient inf1u
ence to persuade the President to revoke
the order made by Secretary Olney on the
Goth of last October concerning consular
fees. He finds by an examination of the
returns of Consul General Collins for
the last quarter that, instead of being
worth $4,000 or $4,000 a year, the Lon
don consulate is now worth only $4,000
or $4,000, and his soul is great'y stirred
up thereby Some of the Senators to
whom he has talked take the ground
that Secretary Olney had no right t.
cut off the fees without substituting some
other form of compensation for the con
sular corps, because the salaries were
fixed by Congress upon n basis Of re-
Enumeration through fees, and it VIII be
impossible for many If the Consuls, par
ticuIarly in Europe, TO live deccntly upon
their salaries alone. Others think it
would make a scandal IL the President
should revoke the order of his predeces-
sor General Osborne is frank enough to
admit that the President does not think
it good policy to revoke Mr. Olney's or
der except upon the recommendation of
Congress.

1t is expected that the decision of the

within the next week or in ten days in
the dissolution of all the freight associa-
tons in the country and the general con-
census of opinion in Chicago is that ga
period of widespread and disastrous dis
turbances is at hand" Perhaps so, and
the railroad and freight associations will
be to blame il such is the effect of the
judgment of the Court. Long persist

trade have brought confusion to the
transportation agencies and rightly so.
The situation, however, is full of danger.

should be on its guard. The commercial

OFF DUTY.

1t is essential TO the well being of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be eternally active, that
they should never go ''off duty" If they
do the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the impur-
tiles that should be thrown off by the
bladder, and both organs suffer in organic
health from their inaction, and incur dan
gerous maladieS. Among these are
Bright's disease Of the kidneys diabetes,
retntion Of the prime, gravel. dropsy, etc.
These are no trifes. but obstinate diseas-
es, developing rapidly, and terminating
too often fatally. To prevent or check
them, the safest and most sffectual means
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
gives a healthful impetus to. but never
excites the renal organs, like the fiery,
unmedicated stimulants of commerce.
