WEDNESDAY. MARCH 31. 1886. OUR CITY DADS. THE CITY INCREASES THE PAY OF THE WORKINGMAN. The Sharp Discussions on the Budget— A Technical Objection—French's Idea of Financial Policy and the Labor Question. Yesterday afternoon a special session of tbe City Council was held for the pur pose of discussing and acting on tbe an nual budget. Mayor Callaghan, Aidermen French, Gallagher, McAllister, Connor, Schrei ner, Smye. Belknap. Lookwood, Dege ner, Hambleton and Bergstrom, who was sworn in by the Mayor before tbe as semblage of the Council, were present. Aiderman Mackey being absent through sickness. City Clerk Claudon then read in a mellifluous voice the call for the special session, after which Aiderman Belknap read the statements of the City Collec tor and Clerk and also the following reports: Sas Antonio. March 30. 1886. To His Honor, the Major, and Members of the City Council: The finance committee, at the last meeting otfthe City Oouncil, presented their report of annual appropriations, as In their Judgment they deemed best for the city’s welfare They desire to place before you now a revised ac count of the revenue and expenditures for 1885. as gathered from a careful examination of the reports ot the city clerk and collector, due reference being made to same as sub stantiating the basis of tills committee's ac tion As the city clerk Includes |u his list of disbursements that which has been expended for publie Improvement account, we also in clude it and credit revenue from the sale of bonds for this purpose. Your committee in 188 ft estimated a revenue of s2uu,ouu. and made appropriations of 183.5(18 but later, finding the revenue would tie much larger, increased same to $216,7.50 Results for 1885 are as follows: In twelve months ending February 26, 1886. city collector reports paid in $159,695 3 And has due and collectable In March 133,000 00 From sale ot public improvement bonds 50.000 00 Total revenue for 1886 $342,685 3ft In the past 13 months ending Feb- ruary 28, 1886. the City Cl ik shows expenditures for all ac counts 219.650 91 Balance 123,044 41 Deducting six notes of city for $6O-. 090. and paid off in March 60,000 CO Leaves a balance In city's favor Of $"3,044 44 And all notes of city issued in 1885 paid. Interest on same mmoum being $1,000,01*1 borrowed in the year; amounted to $3,452 Revenue for 1886, as follows: We estimate revenue from occupa tion tax, Recorder,s Court, mar kets, public scales, city pound, quarry, ditches, rents, ete., at $47,000 00 From taxes to lie le.led in 1886, making estimate on $I6,(NI1UIOO valuation at 11.I 1 200,1 do 00 247.000 <lO For all requirements excepting con tingencies. the list of appropria tions as made by the committee amounts to 222,415 00 Leaving a balance unappropri ated $25,000 OU The Council should be able to use $30,000 of this amount for its contingent fund The committee nave been careful to charge off all claims against the city before making its es timates for the new year. Due role a ice t the past will bear us out. that the revenue al ways exceeds the estimates, ami we believe it will do so this year. Your committee recommend that the city pursue the same tlnancial policy this year as in the last: Keep the special funds sacred, make no rebates, and borrow money at the lowest rates possible in order to pay promptly the running expenses of the government. A. Belknap, Chairman Finance. French —You estimate revenue from taxes, etc., at $247,000? Belknap—No, sir, because I have charged oft' $60,000 since the first of tbe month to pay up tbe notes of the city. French—All the income that came in after the let of March was aplied to the expenses of the last current year, you have paid $OO,OOO of debts which were incurred last year. Belknap—l don’t think go. French—These notes were given to run the government of last year. Belknap We had last year debts amounting to some $60,000 on tbe Ist of February. French—Y'ou received nearly $BO,OOO to pay that by July 1, and yet you said it was not practicable to pay the debts of the last adminiatration. If the rev enues that came into the city since the Ist of March this year, why could not that indebtedness of $60,000 have been discharged by tbe income of that year. The collector’s report shows $*2,000. There was an Indebtedness of the previ ous year of some $60,000, simply because the taxes had not been paid when the administration terminated. Why could not that $60,000 have been paid out of that? Mayor—We have applied every fund that comes in for the payment of that particular fund. We have not taken tbe general fund to make the special fund good. French—Whilst these credits have been given to the general and special funds these special funds have been used for general purposes. Mayor—No air. French—For what were they used? The indebtedness to the special fund was $31,000, and tbe bank was owed $19,000 making a total of $58,000. Now if that money was used It has certainly been used by tbe general fund. Mayer—Bv what authority. French—That Is not the question. Thia $BO,OOO could have paid it. you have got your cheques for $BO,OOO, you have got $60,000 In tbe mme bank, and we pay interest on $BO,OOO. Mayor How can I help myself. Tbe law is there and tells me what my duty is. French—l am speaking about, that while we pay interest on $BO,OOO we have $60,000 in the bank on which we draw no interest. Mayor—Why do we pay interest on that money. Our Legislature says that tbe money should be collected and no money reported until in the treasurer’s hands. French—There is no prohibition of using that special fund, borrowing it far the purpose of paying another fund Aiderman Bcbrelner was called to tbe chair and tbe Mayor then read extracts from the amended charter, showing that tbe city was allowed to borrow $50.0u0 per annum, and that 2 per cent was to be levied on tbe city as a sinking fund in support ef his assertion that money collected could only be applied to those funds for which it was Intended. A considerable amount of discussion ensued between the Mayor and Aider man French, the former maintaining his standpoint. In which be said he was sup ported. and the latter tbe reverse. Finally French moved that tbe council resolve Itself into a committee of the whole, which was adopted, Schreiner in the chair. Alderman Belknap read the budget, which was as follows SAt.AHIKH or CHAHTBRKD omiKHS.

Gallagher said he did not think 4t enough to Keep the clock wound up. par ticularly if a man be married. He algo noticed that tbe amount for the ser vices of tlie cans was $2 00. and be did not think that sufficient. and in that be lief he made a motion that laborers’ pay be Increased to $1 75 a day and that carts be paid $2.25, and that the appropriation be increased to cover it. Lockwood seconded tbe motion. French—l'hat is all very well if the labor is worth it, but I think 1 should certainly vote against creating a privi lege class of city employes. Whatever are the current wages I think should regulate tbe city. Surely we do not want to have a man working for the city getting $1.75 while a man working for private indivldualsgetsonly $1.25, estab lishing, as you may say, a privileged class; they are certainly entitled to tbe current rate of wages, and that should be the standard. Lockwood—There is one thing that is patent, or ought to be, and that is, la .or is not paid wbut it should be. It matters not even if people on the outside can hire them for oue dollar. I say that corporations and a Council representing a community ought to set ku example and pay the laborer what be is justly en titled to. No man can support a family for $1.25; give him enough to do so, so he can live aud even ride in a street-car or chew tobacco. lam in favor of this mo tion—that tbe,pay be increased—and thus set an example to tbe outside, and these private individuals let them raise tbeir pay. french—The number is too limited to be an example anyhow. Belknap—lf the laborer is worthy of that, all right, but 1 do nut think there is a gentleman belonging to this Council but thinks that the city pays liberally for tbe work it geta done. If tbe men are doing tbe work we think they are, it is possible that we should raise their wages. As a rule there are no foremen, no bosses, and tbe fellows go along and dojustastbey please. I am perfectly willing to acquiesce in with the major ity, but I think we bad better clean out the old force and get men that will be honest and give us the labor that we pay for. Gallagher—My friend from the Second Ward speaks about the possibility of the worklngtpen being considered a privileged class. Another objection is tbat It would look bad to pay one man more than another by the year; for in stance, the railroads.'who certainly un derstand business. will employ a great many of the employe* by tbe year and pay them that way. He also speaks about tbeir being no foremen; from tbe reoommendation I don’t suppose we need any foremen. Belknap—l think we do. Gallagher—And what would you pay these foremen—sl.2s a day? Belknap—No, sir; $1.50. Gallagher—You have made an appro priation of $1.25; it is certainly starva tion wages. Belknap—What more could we do; the rules call for It. Gallagher—l think when you pay a wan small wages you lessen himself in bis own estimation. If you pay him good wages you make something ef bins. I know when 1 was a workingman I was paid well and I felt very well; when my wages were reduced it looked like I did not amount to so much. Times are dif ferent now, and tbe toiler should cer tainly be paid the moat. Now at Gal veston, our sister city, they pay tbeir laborers $2. The council there did not wish to pay them that much, and they brought in aresolution against it. The mayor in his kindness of heart vetoed the action of tbe council, and his veto was sustained. Thia being tbe greatest city of Texas, wltb a good revenue of $147,000, and yeu recommend appropria tions of $208,000, tbat loaves $30,000 surplus, why not give tbe workingman, the teller, a little out of tbat? Conner—l am in favor of giving tbe workingman fair pay, $1.50 to $lOO a day, but I know there are more people in San Antonio to-day working for $l.OO than $1.25, and I don't think it policy to raise our rate for ten men. Lockwood—That argument will not hold good. If it is done for tbe benefit of people on tbe outside, we bad better cut down the pay t 075 centa. No, air, as a matter of justice and right. Tbe gen tleman from tbe Second ward aays our labor is rather poor; men frequently work according as they are paid. If you pay a man 75 cents a day he will give 75 cents worth. Tbe United States government pays them better and works them eight nours, and they are going to get that unpaid amount due them since tbe law of 1860 was adopted tbe governmeat Is just. What Is tbe cause of tbe strikes all over tbe country; tbe poor pay the work peo ple receive. The time Is upon us when ihe pay of tbe laborer is to be increased tbe workingmen here are Intelligent to what they are in other countries, and they do not intend to stand crushing. My sympathies are with them.; I think they are right. French—ln regard to tbe argument the gentleman from tbe Frat Ward just made about the standard of wages in Galveston, tbat Is exactly mv proposi tion. 1 propose that when the labor la Continued on Fourth Pace.

The state of affairs here is practically unchanged to-night and will be until after the Com mittee of tbe Knights of Labor and Gen eral Superintendent Hoxie have con cluded their work. Helena, Ark., March 30.—A tornado of unusual velocity swept through this section last evening, doing considerable damage In this city.

The direction of the tornado was from west to east. Houston, Tex., March 30,—Tbe city is ail in a commotion over the develop ments in the Baker shooting case.

They are arranging to make a statement to the oountry through the house of com mons of their reasons for leaving the cabinet, and will accompany this state ment with a proposal of a measure for the government of Ireland, whioh they will jointly prepare. They will endeavor to consolidate tbe opponents of Glad stone In support of their scheme.

Tbe National Liberal Federation will hold a meeting during the Easter recess, when a strong eflort will be made to avert a disruption of tbe Federal Union.

The present crop has taken there or. thereabouts to mature, and it's a big one, don’t you forget it. The river and harbor appropriations are estimated at $15,164,200. Port de fenses at more than seven times that amount. The relative Importance of the two are in inverse ratio to appro priations. The Inter Ocean keeps tickling itself, all over at stated intervals because It is the only Chicago paper whose columns are so hard to fill that it gives Sam Jones’ sermons in full. Some fellows are easily satisfied. And now. Just when people are look ing for the beginning of the end of the great strike and travelers are turning their faces westwatd, comes the unwel come news that fares from New York to Chicago have been advanced to the old 1884 rates. Kailroad pools have llltle regard for personal feelings, that's a fact. Galtbston and Sabine Pass are tilting at the deep water windmill, Don Quixote like. San Antanlo has pre-empted a claim on that deep water harbor busi ness and. when she contests title, will make berclalm good. Nature has placed a bar to Galveston's claims, and Sabine Pass is too far easttocount in the rivalry for Texas trade. Wkbstek, Dan'l, would not be consid ered a fly legislator now;‘he was too old a fogy. He actually taught that where the tendency of law was to favor a rapid accumulation of property In the bands of the few. and so render the masses of the people poor and dependent, there was no possibility of thefreeest government en during for any considerable time. Dan iel being dead, yet speaketh. Some gtnius with a bent for the abtruse In fact, and the democratically obtuse in understanding, is figuring out an administration victary In Oragon next June on the basis of Jim Blaine's 2256 majority in 1884. The premises and conclusions of political reasoning are very often like a friendless orphan, without any visible connections. lowa Senate has passed the Carson bill making drunkenness a crime. It Is not drinking but getting drunk that in jures and disturbs society, and this pun ishing the getting drunk is putting the penalty where it belongs. The outcome of this enactment, should it pass the House and become law, will be very closely watched by the interested, license men and prohibitionists alike. The cynics whe doubt the genuine feminity of the dimpled divinity who presides over the Del Rio Dot can take our certidcation of the fact, despite the deep prefundity of the doubt expressed by the Cisco Round-Up. The Del Rio divinity is all that she assumes to be, to a Dot. The shadow of her loveliness has even crossed our sanctum. Are you not convinced, Sir Round Up? Genkbal Secretary Turner, of the Knights of Labor,, is authority for the opinion that Chairman Irons is doing the order great injury. Irone’ talk about a general strike on the railroads east of the Mississippi is senseless talk. The time certainly has come for tho strike to strike out. Tbeexeciitlveooasmittee.of which Irons Is chairman, Is responsible for this strike, and his wild words con cerning Its continuance bad far better bo loft unsaid. Coxgre-s has actually broken ground on an emigration bill. By the provis ions of the one now introduced, tourists fnm abroad are exempted from any head tax, a penalty of $5OO is imposed for the permanent landing on these shores of alien paupers, idiots, insane and convicts. The Secretary of the Treasury is also empowered to appoint Commissioners of Emigration at Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia. Balti more, Key West, New Orleans, Galves ton ami San Francisco, to carry out the provisions of the bill should it become law. The bill is lacking In one impor tant feature, in not directly and ex plicitly prohibiting all Chinese emlgra tion by the same terms as idiots and paupers are excluded. With this one exception the bill will very generally commend Itself to public favor, flow it will fare at fbe bands of Congress is a conundrum which we give up. The Denison Sunday Gazette is an able-bodied encyclopedia of gospel guesses. The editor of the Freie Presse of this city in endeavoring to conceal the length of the ears which natuA placed on the ex-editor of the Light has merely succeeded in uncovering the vast pro portion of his own. Horse stealing and running off cattle seem to be the chief Industries of some sections of this State. This business grows monotonous, and the action of Utah Legislature is commended to the Texas Assembly at its next session, for which so many are in training. Utah pr bibits the shipping of stock at night, unless the shipper has a certificate properly signed by the inspector of the precinct, stating the number, kind and description of animals shipped. This certificate Is then placed on tile in the inspector's office, to remain one year. Texas certainly needs some preventive measures, as cattle and horse stealing are palpably on the Increase, not only along the Mexican borders but in the more northern and central portions of the State. The Utah law would be a material benefit along the line of the rail; along the border it would avail but lit tle. The most ample regulations for re covering and returning property stolen on either side of the lines and run across are needed, and Congress should ado rd prompt relief by making such arrange ments with Mexico as would facilitate as much as possible the reciprocal arrest and return of border thieves. The humanity of law is as necessary to be considered In our Legislatures as is the law of humanity in our homes and churches. Some press wit remarks, appropos of Butler's defense of oleomargerine—Ben always did love to stand on slippery places. Does he mean to say Ben has his foot in the butter. If so. the Butler should know better. The telegraph reports of this morning convey the intelligence that the general executive committee of the Knights of Labor is on its way to St. Louis to arbi- trate the railroad strike with Hoxie, who has been appointed the agent of the Mis souri Pacific for that purpose by Its board of directors. There is little doubt, there- fore, that before this week closes the whole matter will be adjusted, the wheels of commerce again in regular motion, and nothing left of the great strike but its bitterness and its lessons These lessons may, after all, fully com pensate for the price paid if they lead to such action on the part of the state and national governments, and on the part of corporations and organized labor as well, as will hereafter void all strikes by substituting a wise method of arbitra tion therefor. Anna Dickenson will try, try again. This time she will try a London mana ger and sample the London footlights. Fori Wor+h and Houston are running a neck and neck race for the “crank” medal. Who will eventually get it is as much a conundrum as on what dark horse the gubernatorial saddle is to be placed this fall. Every indication points to unusually high water in our great water courses The winter has been protracted, an im mense body of snow is locked up in the mountains and a warm rain would send It through our valleys with destructive force. Symptoms of the coming floods are found in the overflowing streams in Wisconsin. Illinois. Dakota and lowa, all of which cause apprehension along the banks of the Missouri and Mississip pi. As we look out upon the troublous face of elsewhere from the peaceful se curity of our own lovely city, we realize that the lines have fallen to us in pleas ant places. The Canadians just bank all their spare laudations on Gladstone. He Is the most popular man that can be mentioned in Dominion assemblies, and it would be hard to find one more worthy or better qualified. A vigorous, able-bodied lie is a healthy think to meet compared to a contemptible perversion of the truth, in whleh the author tries to bank with Peter and hedge with Lucifer in the same transaction. A Markieita, Pa., man has a very small breed of rats or a very big breed of kegs, but it is not stated which. He swears he filled a keg half full of water, covered the top with cotton seed, sprinkled meat over the seed, and in the morning lookout 190 drowned rats. The imagination toils in vain to compass the grand possibilities of that statement while painfully alive to the grander certainties of its impossibilities. There is no sense in a man straining credulity in that way when it was just as easy to say half a hogshead. Scoring for a gubernatorial race, un like scoring Ur a horse race, generally means scoring the other fellow and warming up the dark horses. Consistency is a jewel, but it was not worn by the Allegheny judge who sent a poor fellow to jail for tattooing some children, and re-committed the children to the care of the mother who hired him to do It. Whether the mother or the judge is most in need of a guardian it would be difficult tossy. PUBLIC OPINIONS. Many of great physical courage have no moral courage. The world’s dread laugh or the slow moving finger of scorn puts them to flight as the veriest cow ards. Ihe Children's Friend says: ••How often bath the coward been killed In a ditch. It 'requires courage to bear the shame which a Christian must meet, to avoid which many durst not confess Christ openly (John vil. 13). Men lose heaven because they are ashamed to go thither In a fool’s coat I” The following is a very unusual In stance of a miserly lawyer. It Is still observable could not oppress his clients There was too much of the lawyer’s love for bls clients left In him for severity of exaction when It came to the sticking point. But he certainly was a queer personage or eccentric charac ter. Read •‘Congressman Browne, of Indiana, lias told a Washington correspondent of a queer character in his district. He was an eminent lawyer and miser, with great possessions, la the coldest weather he would come to court clad in a wretched overcoat, which was pinned closely at the throat to conceal the ab sence of a shirt. He hoarded money, but never exacted fees. He bad many farms, and bound his tenants with an iron contract, but let them evade it and swindlo him without a murmur.- He died wealthy and childless, leaving hie property to a sister, who, at hie death, allowed the farms to be sold,distributed and improved.” Our high national officials are far from being as devout church attendants as they might be. We clips report of their omissions and neglects, and not even half-way observance or attendance on sir actuary privileges, so that the public may see for itself: The President goes to a Presbyterian church auout once a month, looks bored during the services, but stands them out determinedly. Secretary Bayard isseen at an Episcopalian church at long inter vals. Secretary Whitney is also an Epis copalian Mr. Manning was once a Cath olic, but just now tinaßces takes up hie attention to the exclusion of other mat ters Mr. Lamar isseen at a Methodist church, with a far-away look in bis eyes. Mr Endicott goes to an Episcopalian church, but not so often as to cause com mant. Mr. Vilas is said once to have en tered a Presbyterian church, apparently by mistake, when the services were half over. I he Boston Record talks like a Utop ian dreamer who doesn't know the first horn-book of human nature. It is over confidence in the moral strength of man- Kind, and of one’s super-refined moral nature that has proven the rock of most terrible disasters. The checks and guards of the constitution show pro found knowledge of the human heart. Hear the Record: ••if the methers and daughters of this country cannot be saved to virtue without Inspiring in them a fear of the results af vice, con veyed through instructions concerning its effects, as is proposed by a league of well-meaning western women, the in centives to purity have become fearfully weakened in this country. We refuse to believe the implied libel of such a conclusion.

The pony is branded 50 on left shoulder. The Chinese Do Not Eat Rats. A young lady interested In the Chi nese Sunday school connected with Em manuel church writes that “the Chinese feel very much aggrieved at the popular idea that they eat rats.” A few days ago an intelligent Chinaman, who has lived In this country for a number of years, spoke of the annoyance, and said ne would like every one to know “that tbe Chinese do not eat rats,Jbut squir rels.” Tbe popular delusion that rats constitute a great article of diet amonj; the Chinese is due no doubt to tbe fact that a school reader which was for merly In use, and may be now, con tained a picture of a Chinaman having upon his shoulder a bamboo roti from which are suspended, by their tails, a number of rats. In the reading beneath the picture it is stated that in China rats are eaten. Tbe Chinamen in this city are In the main a very cleanly folk In their attire and homes, and their food appears to be chiefly rice, which is a cheap though very wholesome article. [Baltimore Sun.] Lee Ting, the China man whose letter was published in tbe Chronicle a few darn ago, when ques tioned on this subject, said rats were not eaten la china, but that a squirrel which they caught on the mountains and which was not unlike our rabbit, was tbe animal which they ate, and which, perhaps, had been tortured into rats by their enemies and given rise to their uncanny report.—[Augusta Chron icle. everything needed in the lum ber line, call on F. J, Beitel, at Inter national and Great Northern depot, ly The Abbey of Brantome. The abbey buildings are approached through a low machlcolated gateway, beyond which rises an eleventh-century tower, considered by Violet le Duc to have been the model of a new school of architecture which has left abundant works in Limousin, Touraine and Or leanais, and which is characterized by a square base and an octagonal upper story, with gables on either side, at tbe point where the change of form takes place. Tbe whole is crowned by a pyramidal roof. The lower story of the tower, which is detached from the church, formed a hall, open on three sides, and of which the arches supported a curious elliptical vault. Internally the church has been spoilt by a recent restoration under M. Abadie, and has ao longer any interest except from its form, a vast vaulted nave, with two cupolas; the east window was tilled in to the form of a cross |in the sixteenth century. A beau tiful Gothic west door opens into the remains of a cloister, built here in the fifteenth century by- Cardinal de Bour delles. to connect the church with the abbey. On the outer walls of the church are some quaint thirteenth century i sculptures.—[Art Journal

The original Turner Hall orchestra which last season gave unusual satisfac tion to San Antonio music-lovers and traveling opera companies and theatre troupes which visited our their performance at Turner Hall, Is Dow engaged for tbe summer season to plav at San Pedro Springs. The or chestra is re organized and has secured a first-class violinist and cornetlst. and is now composed of thorough musicians under the leadership ot Professor IL Schilder, of Chicago. Professor 8. came here last fall tor his health, and is charmed with the results of bln visit, having gaiaed wonderfully, and has de cided to make this city bis home. He was for many years In Chicago n the best orchestras and sing ing societies as musical director. He is also a composer of some fame. He Is also a master of several instru ments, and enough can not be said about s on Cali- him as a first class musician. The vio linist, Mr. C. M. I irpa, is from T oledo, Ohio, has recently been leader of the Dellas Opera House Orchestra. That he Is a first-class violinist, the position he held, testifies. Mr. Hans Tburud.a flutist, being here i early three years, is already known. Became from Chicago, where he held positions as flutist in tbe first theatres. Ue has here proved his ability to entire satisfaction. The cornetist. Mr. Charles Groebl; from St. Louis, lately leader of the Fashion Theatre Brass Band, is a master of the cornet and trombone. T hese four gentlemen have settled per manently in San Antonio, and Colonel Kerble deserves credit for having se cured their services for a season of seven months, which will commence about April 10. and if weather permits.concert music w ill be played every afternoon from 3 to 7 o’clock, with one hour In termission from 8 to 10. The public of San Antonio will be Invited to attend. ARANSAS PASS EXTENSION The Support It Should Receive-Tlie Ben efits It Will Confer on San Antonio. By reference to our telegraph columns, it will be seen that the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad company have secured their charter for the extension of their line Into the extreme north western section of the State. This road, as projected, opens up virgin territory, so far as railroad enterprises are con cerned, and will be the most important feeder that this city could possibly open up. The charter also provides for branch lines east and south, the aggregate length of which will be over 3110 miles. As tbe main line will be about 550 miles long, the road and its branches will have a total mileage of nearly 000 miles. This enterprise commends itself to tbe capi tal, confidence and support of Sau Anto nio as the one above all others to give this city that commercial importance to which she is justly entitled by geograph ical position and natural advantages. No finer locationmou d he selected for an iiumense city than Nan Antonio possess es. Hercapital ami hercomtneree would both be multiplied by making her the center of a vast industrial movement, commensurate with the commercial im portance she is de-tined to attain. With this source of wealth developed within herself she would be doubly certain to secure all the advantages that extended railroad communications woultl give her from without. The tendency of all railway enter prises is to run their lines where a i arn ing business is tnoHt llkley to yield th best retunra. Ibe tendency of a create industry is to multiply its product ive where they will soonest and most cheaply reach market. There is an interdependence in these things that should not be forgotten. While interest ing themselves in railway extension San Antonio capitalists should reach out after manufacturing industries as tbe surest way of turning the golden stream ol commerce into their own lap, instead of seeing it flow past their doors. This railway scheme, long talked of, now chartered for opening rail communica tion with tbe vast heart of Kansas through tbe grass and grain fields of Western Texas, has more promises In it than the most sanguine prophet of San Antonio's future dreams of. It should receive every last dollar of encourage ment the citizens of this place can give it. It will prove the beat investment ever made by them, and when the iron grooves of commerce are stretching their interminable miles to the great north west to bring ttje riches of an empire witli their grasp they will begin to realize as they cannot now the wisdom of putting their dollars In this San An tonio and Aransas Pass extension.

March 30.—President Grevey has signed a decree raising the fund for relief of the poor to $17,500,000, making it larger than ever before. Advices from St. Louis state that the natives of Senegal, in rebellion against the French authority, have resorted to open warfare. In a recent attack the rebels killed nine French soldiers and wounded 32. Reinforcements for the colony are being rapidly fitted out at Toulon. Panama. March 30.—A great powder explosion occurred on the Culebra river section of the Inter-oceanic canal yester day. Fifteen thousand kilograms ex ploded, killing ten men and seriously wounding forty men. Tbe excitement occasioned by the vio lent suppression of the Star and Herald still continues. Forty-eight hours have elapsed since the American consul died his protest, but no aotice has been taken of it so far by tbe authorities. Public opinion supports tbe consul, while the lawyers declare the act unlawful.

The I. O. G. T. Tbe apen lodge meeting of the Inde pendent Order of Good Templars, held last night at Trinity Methodist Episco pal Church, was well attended and every body enjojed themselves.

Ice cream was served by the young lady members of tbe order and the entertainment closed at 10 o'clock. The membership of this lodge is now about fifty. OUR CITY DADS. Continued from FirM Piure. such they can get $3.00 a day, they ought to have It from tbe city,, because the class of labor there is almost exclusive ly in Ihe wbarve- bundling cotton. Y'ou have to pav $3.00, because floats anti drays can make $3.00 a day, or perhaps more. lam in favor of a small increase. In regard to the car s we know from actual experience there Is always a rush when there is a vacancy now, they are all aaxious; you can get 20 carts to-morrow at what we have been paying. I think we ought to pay them sti that a man can save some money but a man on the outside who only gets $1.50. and a man employed by the city gels $3 say, he will complain, saying. “My taxes ga to pay that man’s wages.” We can only give it to 10 in a community of 2000 workingmen or more, and we ought not to make that kind ot comparison. Gallagher The gentleman speaks about taking taxes from the others 1 think it is a very good thing. It has a tendency to excite a spirit of emulation that will enable tbecity toget good work, knowing that thej- are paid better. 1 sometiuies think that the pay of a man is actuated bv tbe largeness of the em ployer’s heart His heart is very apt to be something like bis purse. I could not feel it in my heart to let a man go home after toiling for me with his dollar. I would feel I bad not done that man jus tice; that he was just being boiled in sweat and tears almost. I would not lessen that man’s estimation of himself. I would not live in a country that was paying a dollar a day. Smye—l am in tavor of tbe working men getting the highest wages from the city that is paid by private Individuals. Connor—l am in’favor of the working man getting fair wages. The more he gets the more he has to spend for luxuries. Finally tbe motion to increase the wages was adopted French and Degener voting nay the motion be amended to the effect that the number of laborers be increased to 15 cents at $1.75 anil 20 cents at $2 25 when tbe mayor thought the exeglncles required Jt, the amount of the street commissioner’s depart ment by this Increase being $29,202.

McAllister seconded the motion, which was lost. Twenty thousand dollars was set apart as a contingent fund, this making the total estimated expenses of the year $212,417. The Committee of the Whole then arose and reported progress, the Mayor resuming the chair. Degener called attention to the fact that last vear tbe Council had borrowed $lOO,OOO and issued $50,000 bonds in con travention of section 45 of tbe City Charter. Belknap replied that the opinion of the City Attorney had been taken in the matter. French—This objection offered by the alderman is altogether technical and has just as much force In it as section 43 re garding the money raised for special funds. It was said here by one of the aidermen in the committee of the whole that he wants a record of this matter re garding the wages. I therefore now re new my motion that the pay of laborers be put at $1.50 instead of $1.75. 1 am willing to lie put on record. A vote was then taken resulting as follows Ayes—French, Connor, Degener, Bel knap. Noes—Gallagher, Hambleton. Lock wood, McAllister, Bergstrom, Schreiner, Smye. The budget was then adopted unani mously. The Mayor—The finance committee, in their report, recommend the city to pursue the same financial policy as in the last vear. Degenercalled on tbe City Attorney to give his opinion on the legality of the city borrowing more than $50,000, and that official sustained tbe finance com mittee in their action. The report was finally adopted, Dege ner. French and McAllister voting nay. Adjourned. Josiah’s Davis's Trouble. Josiah Davis, North Middleton, Ky., writes “I am now using a box of yonr Henry s Carbolic Salve upon an ulcer, which, for the past 10 days, has given me great pain. The salve Is the only remedy 1 have found that has given me any ease. My ulcer was caused by vari cose veins and was pronounced incura ble by my medical advisers. 1 find, however, that Henry’s Carbolic Salve is effecting a cure.” Beware of imitations. Married. Mr. Gus Peltzer was wedded last night at the bride’s residence to Miss Emma Poescbel. The wedding was quiet,only tbe most intimate friends and reletives of the bride being present.

Later in the evening the happy couple were visited by a large number of tbeir friends, who indulged in the playful amusement of a charivari. Travis Park Concert. Frank A.

Flower, whose fame as a physician has extended Into almost every household In the land, has ar ranged to make a second and final trip this season through the Southwest. The readers of this paper will remember reading of bls extended professional trip last January through Kentucky, Tennes see and Texas; so great were the crowds who gathered to see the doctor at his stopping places during his trip that at many of the places he was unable to see but a portion of those who sought his aid. consequently he promises to return again shortly that those unable to con sult him heretofore might now have the opportunity. The doctor will by at tbe following places on the dates here giver Louisville, Ky., Galt House, Monday and Tuesday, March 29 and 30. Nashville, Tenn., Maxwell Houso, Wednesday and Thursday, March 31 and April 1. Memphis, Tenn., Guyosa House, Fri day and Saturday, April 2 and 3. Dallas. Texas, Grand Windsor, Mon day and Tuesday, April 5 and 6. San Antonio, Texas, Menger Hotel, Wednesday and Thursday, April 7 and 8. Houston, Texas, Capitol Hotel, Satur day, April 9. This will bo a great opportunity for the sick and suffering to consult this distinguished physician close to their home, and it will in all probability be the last opportunity. Doctor Flower’s practice in the east Is so great that it is with difficulty be can leave bls home, bis patients number ing, It is claimed, upwards of 28,000. It is said that Dr. Flower possesses wonderful diagnostic powers, that he can tell everyone his trouble without asking a question and thus able to select the real and bidden of a trouble is able to treat it with almost an unerring ac curacy. It will be seen that Dr. Flower makes but six stops in tbe entire soutb. one in Kentucky, two in Tennessee and three in Texas. Joe Jefferson, tbe great actor (our Rip Van Winkle), who was treated and cured by Dr. Flower when broken down in healtb, says, “There is but one Dr. Flower, there will never be another, be is a most wonderful physician and man.” _ LOCAL NOTICES. —When you need any job printing eall around and get prices at the Light office. —Every first-class dealer sells Opera Pufls cigarettes.
