CITY TOPICS.
REFORM CITY GOVERNMENT.

Can we expect genuine reform under
our present form of city government?
Our city charter prescribes the manner
in which our elections shall be held;
how all officers or agents not elective
shall be appointed, and in this particu-
lar follows the form of our state gov
eminent. In short our city govern
ment is a popular government, sub
ject to the will of the people every
two years. The charter sets forth how
every function of the city government
shall be administered; the power to
tax; to enforce its ordinances; to make
debt, etc. The charter government Is
the one we can have, and the only re-
form possible would be the best admin
stration possible under this instru-
ment. In what should reform consist?
Through efficient service on the part of
city officials; the actual needs of the
city; economy in every department; a
careful supervision of the business of
the city; the lowest tax rate possible
consistent with effective city govern
ment All this is possible under our
charter and the present administration
is making an effort to fulfill the prom
Use made to the people.

THE GULF SHORE.
A Trip over That Excellent Little
Road Yesterday.

I
Road Yesterday.
Through the courtesy of General
Manager Geo. Dullnig and Auditor
Richardson, of the Gulf Shore railroad,
a Light reporter had the pleasure of
a ride over that line in charge of Su-
| perintendent l. l.. Thomas yesterday.
| The train left the depot promptly at
o'clock and made the run down in
| Guiding stops, in remarkably short
time, returning to the city at 2:22 p. m.
| The roadbed is one of the most level
and best ballasted in the state and a
ride over it is pleasure, not to speak
of the excellent view to be gained of
the many beautiful and thriving farms
on each side of the track.
The crops looked we'll but display
ed evidences of needing rain, but not
in such a large quantity. All farms
| looked nice and clean, being perfectly
free from weeds. Just below Lavernia
the crops look worse than any place
| along the line.
At every station where the train
stopped evidences of repairing the gins
| for the, coming cotton season were
shown. The large we'll equipped gin
of Mr.. Tewis at Lavernia is just COM
pleted and is one of the finest in this
| section of the country. A side track
is being placed into the yard by the
| railroad to receive the cotton and seed.
| Side tracks to other gins along the
line will be put in shortly.
At the lower end of the track the
| reporter was shown around by Mr..
Thomas, giving the newly erected de-
pot and stockpens a thorough inspec-
| ton. The pens are strongly built and
| can accommodate a very large number
of cattle. The depot is a very pretty
little building, betrg the incest on the
| company's line. Tt is painted and
ceiled throughout and has a separate
| passenger and freight room with a
| cosy little office equipped with tele-
graph instruments between the two.
The construction force is now engag-
ed in building the bridge across Elm
| creek, three miles below Sutherland
Springs, the timber having arrived. AS
soon as this is completed the work of
| tracklaying will be hurriedly pushed on
| to Stockdale. Engine No. 2, of the
| company is being used to work the
| construction train and is kept down
there. A well is being sunk near the
depot to supply water for the place,
the only water obtainable now being
at the springs a mile away.
Mr. ]. L. Burd, the popular 1. & G.
N. passenger conductor also went down
as Superintendent Thomas guest and
expressed himself as exceedingly well
pleased with the trip. He pronounced
the roadbed first class.

as the reverend gentleman, once pre-
sented him with very pretty kitten,
being very emphatic in her avowal "that
it was a good Catholic cat" A few
days later, when out for a walk, she
was hailed by Father Stommel after
this fashion: Mrs. B, thought
you told me the feline you gave me was
a good Catholic cat. Ibeg to assure you
that you were mistaken. 1t is blue

coSTLlEST OF FISH HOOKS.

TurpOn Hook md the Various Elab-
crate Attachments Tho- Go with 1t.
The most costly of fish hooks are
those for tarpon. They are sold at re-
tail at various prices from one
dollar a dozen for bare hooks up
to seven dollars a dozen for hooks
fitted up. The standard tarpon
hook is four inches in length.
Some tarpon fishermen prefer to mount
their own hooks. They have ideas of
their own as to the best way and the
best materials, says the New York Sun.
y swivel is always used. Some of the
hooks that are sold fitted up have smells
of German silver chain. Sometimes
laces of rawhide or porpoise skin are
used for smells. Some hooks are fitted
with smells of piano wire two feet long,
made in three lengths of eight inches
each, linked, to prevent lNinking. Fit
ted up tarpon' hooks that are sold at
seven dollars dozen are provided with
36-inch braided or plated linen smells,
wound for two-thirds of their length,
from the upper end downward, with
copper wire. The tarpon swallows the
hook and its teeth are brought up on
the smell where it is protected by the
copper wire. Sometimes a shark takes
the bait. It is desired to lose the shark
without the trouble of hauling it in and
casting it off, and the shark is likely to
free itself by biting through the I'M
protected lower third of the smell.
While the tarpon hook is the costliest
of the hooks there are fys that sell for
more; there are some salmon fys that
retail as high as nine dollars adozen-

CAN ENGLAND BE INVADED
The Possibility Of Foreign Forces
Landing on the Little Isle.

Is there any danger Of England being
invaded by foreign foe? This ques-
ton was recently put to Gen. Wolseley,
says London letter. His reply was as
follows:
Not so long ago we were within
measurable distance of a war with
France. Such war, believe me, would
not be only naval. A country which has
such a colossal army as France would
certainly wish to use it. Invasion, at
tempted or accomplished, would have
to be one of the military contingencies
to be considered by us. OF course we
rely upon our feet for preventing a de-
scent.
"The navy is our first line,' but there
I am one of them-that our navy is not
$50 UNNECESSARILY superior to the
French that we can always count upon
meeting it strength for strength at the
critical moment in the home seas.
Command of the channel might be
obtained by stratagem or after conflict
and a very short time-a couple of days
would suffice to effect a very secure
lodgment on our shores. No, no; in
vasion is not impossible. Won Moltke
thought that, although he said it would
be easier to get into England than out of
it again. 1 dare say we should give
good account of ourselves to invaders,
but the shock, the temporary paralysis
and collapse would be very terrible,
even if we triumphed in the end. But
let us hope that invasion is very far off
indeed"

DECREASE IN EEcuNDIrx.
The CoIored Race Trims Out ms Il
Comes North.

Frederick j. Brown, of Baltimore,
supports with statistics the claim that,
contrary to the views held by census
officials, the trend of colored migration
Is from the southern to the northern
states, says an exchange. This
migration, he thinks, is on the in
crease. He finds from a study of the
natural increase of the colored popula-
ton that the rate decreases as one goes
from the south to the north. Thus,
while it is 25 per cent. in ten years in
Florida. in South Carolina and Georgia
it is 1914, in North Carolina 13.1,
in the border states GA, and in
the northern states 81 or pos
sibly less. But the actual rate
of the increase of the colored popula-
ton of the north in ten years was nearly
81 per cent. and the difference between
this and the rate of natural increase is
ascribed by Mr.. Brown to migration
from the south. Mr.. Brown also shows
that there are great inequalities in the
distribution of the colored people in
the south. In some sections the negroes
enormously outnumber the whites, as
in South Carolina and along the Missis-
sippi from Memphis nearly to New Or
leans, and in these sections the dispar-
ity is increasing. In other sections the
negro is almost nonresident, averaging
only one per cent. of the total popula-
ton. This is notably true of nearly
one-half of the state of Texas. 1t is
further pointed out that in these sec
tons the white population is inrreas-
ing faster than the average.
