WHY HE WANTS TO BE MAYOR.

WHY HE WANTS TO BE MAYOR.
Judge Callaghan in his great eff
fort at Mission garden, tried to ex-
plain why he wanted to be mayor right
after being elected county Judge; why
ne wanted to leave an $1,000 or 5000
job for the mayoralty that did not pay
but $4,000, including contingent fund
He denied that the county judgeship
PAID so much. and said: But If II
were SIMPLY a question of figures,
gentlemen, the amount that / get out
or the county judges office would be
about equal to what would get out OF
the mayors office" That is $4,000
although he don't say so. 1t isn't the
salary the judge is after, he goes on
and explains why he wants to be ma
yor: But 1 want to be mayor because
l believe that there is way to
straighten out the condition of this
city today" Well, as the judge is the
very fellow that did it logically he
thinks he is the right man to undo it.
He goes on explaining: 81 believe il
you go on this extravagant way the
city of San Antonio has but a very
short career before it, What in the
tuncket does this mean? Is our city
to drop through the top of the earth
and disappear? Career might apply
to a politician such as the judge, but
career is not an Ineligible term to APP
ply to a city. Then he tells what he
believes: II believe that if you don't
retrench, that if you keep on with this
eXorbitant levy of taxes, all the tax
payers of San Antonio will be on the
delinquent list" Well now, he is talk
ing sense. Figure first what your
in &c. hot oh
to spend, and don't spend any more
than you have" More sense, but Cal
laghan did not tell the people how to
retrench-he did not dare say to cut
down a single item in the present bud
get. But he wants to be mayor, and
not only wants to be mayor this time
but for at least four years and lon
ger. He said: "If am elected mayor
will not in two years redeem all that
should be redeemed, but 1 know that
in four years-I believe rather. that
in four years it can be brought to
position where you will be able to meet
all of your taxes. pay all your eXpens-
es and not be in debt"
The people certainly cannot be so
insane as to vote for this man. He
fails to give any good reason for his
candidacy and has, the cheek to tell
the people that he wants the Office not
for two years but for four years to let
him experiment with the finances.
Two years is quite long enough for any
man to demonstrate a retrenchment
policy and bring the city to a cash bas-
is The fact is Callaghan don't know
what he is talking about. If he would
tell the truth he would say: Il want
to be mayor because | want to be
boss

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Dreadful Disease of China and India
Threatens to Girdle the Earth.
Two Cases Develop In London and Two
Have Occurred on Pacific Mall Steam
ers to San francisco - ChArac-
teristics of the Disease.

The fact that two cases of the bubonic
plague have developed in London is a
reminder that eastern epidemics too
frequently girdle the earth in running
their course, as did lagrippe, which was
first heard from in Russia. We are eX-
posed on two sides to invasion by the
bubonic plague, which is the "black
death" which in 1865 killed 100, 900 Eng
lishmen. Already two cases have
occurred on one of the Pacific mail
steamers en- route from China to San
Francisco. This disease is said to have
been more or less prevalent in parts of
China since the seventeenth century,
when it swept all Europe. 1t took
pestilential form in Canton about two
years ago.
In all violent outbreaks of bubonic
plague, rats seemed first to be seized,
and their death in great numbers al
ways preceded by n few days CORE
spending ravages among human be-
ings. The swarming rats, dying by
thousands, were the first warning the
Cinnamon had that the epidemic was
upon them. From China the disease
got to Formosa and the Malay PENN
sula. The japanese, with their modern
learning, kept the deadly invader COM
paratively at bay; but the disease crept
into India, and has spread with fright
full rapidity. In India, as in China, the
advent of the plague was heralded by
an epidemic among rats.
A feature of the disease is the sudden
ness of attack. The first symptom is
usually chill. Then follows acute
nervousness, with fever that sends the
temperature 10 from 100 to 107 degrees.
Headache. thirst and intense pain in the
upper part of the abdomen follow.
Sticky perspiration exudes from the
pores, and then follow the glandular
swelIings from which the disease takes
its name. These occur in the groin, or
neck, or under the aTmpits. The more
Of them there are, the less dangerous
the attack. Dark spots appear upon the
skin of the victim just before dissolu-
ton.
An eminent Japanese bacteriologist
who studied in Europe under Koch has
discovered the microbe of BLACK
DEATH" and his discovery was confirmed
by Prof. Gersin. formerly attached to
the Pasteur laboratory. in Paris. The
bacillus is short, thick, easy of culture,
and. when inoculated on guinea pigs,
kills them in - hours. 1t is hoped
vaccine may I've obtained that will prove
efficacious.

JUDGE CALLAGHAN ON THE DE-
FENSIVE.

Judge Callaghan made the greatest
effort of his life at Mission garden
on Thursday night. 1t was great
speech for Callaghan, but an impair
tial criticism will put Mr.. Callaghan
upon low plane, both as to oratorical
ability and logical quality-he is a
fiat failure as a public speaker, but
this would not be so bad If the man
really understood the subject upon
which he talks. Mr. Callaghan made
a poor defence of his administration
of city affairs; he tried to answer the
charge that he was the tool of the
private corporations, by criticising
the water company's contract with
the city; he failed to suggest any rem
edy for the evils he complained of.
He was very fierce after the car COM
pany, but very delicate about the
light and waterworks companies, The
Judge was particularly caustic about
the sewers, and charged that Elmen-
dOrf has been guilty of accepting
election funds through Mr.. Kalteyer
from the sewer contractors to the
amount of $4,000. He also charged
Elmendorf with direct interest in city
work-of course Mr.. Callaghan's adj
mirers were ready to yell for him
If he simply opened his mouth, but
his great effort was a great disap-
pointment to his intelligent hearers.
He has certainly demonstrated that
he has been a very much over esti-
mated man; that his ability is very or
binary; and his knowledge Of affairs
very limited. The people made no
mistake when they turned Callaghan
out of the mayors office: he Is not
competent to fill the place, and has
