ALMOST A FIASCO
A Brass Band Gathers tn a Crowd for
the So-Called Workman’s Mase
Meeting.
The mass meeting of working men
called for last night on Malo plnza.
pass'd through considerable tribulation.
The workingmen bad no Conti deuce In
it. for It was generally regarded ns an
election dodge in favor of mine candi-
date for mayor and rhe head and tail of
the movement kept themselves carefully
concealed. For thia rea on many or the
well known and trusted lenders would
take no part in the meeting and the
majority of bonatide workingmen kept
aw ay from it.
Two floats were prepared for the
speakers and lights were erected but at
the time appointed the speakers fell
quite lonely for there was no audience
What was worse there wm no prospect
of it coming. Then some of the gang
went to an itinerant doctor
who bad a brass band on the Military
plnza and he came and drew a crowd of
curious spectators and loafers that hung
round Ihe medicine vendors nightly.
This done. Mr H B. Salil way mount-
ed the rostrum and detailed the object
of the meeting declaring It to be inde-
pendent. They wanted progressive men
for mayor and aldermen who favor pub-
lic impro ements and would buy the
waterworks or build one of their own.
He wat ted to see sewers anti improved
streets. Then he went for the water-
works as if he had them on the brain
and concluded wi b a tirade against
monopolists
Mr. A H. Jackson alluded to capital
anti labor and condemned the primary
manipulation of Saturday last. He
spoke against monopolies in general al-
luded to the down-trodden condition of
the poor and argued against protec-
tion. He wanted good men elected
to office and thought labor and capital
should go hand and hand to secure this
end and he concluded by advising the
workingmen to help their friends and
boycott their enemies.
Mr. John Rutledge a former English
emigration agent believed that the ma-
jor part of the city council were good
men. advocated free libraries con-
demned the boodle men of New York
and urged workingmen not to sell their
votes for money or drinks. He wanted
the people to buy the waterworksstreet
cars railroads telephones etc. with
bonds and to act In the present spoke
of excessive railroad freight rates ar-
gued against the election of barracks
ar <1 urged ihe audience io d Board race
prejudice to give women a vote and to
elect good men.
Messrs. L. A. Heil and Otto Solms
spoke in the same strain and Mr. A. H.
Jackson made a little addendum to his
former speech when the meeting closed.
Mr. J. P. O'Leary "the political
plasterer” and friends watched the pro-
ceedings with considerable interest.

THE HUSBAND AND THE HARLOT.
An Outrageous Scene tn the Life of a
Local Advocate for Down-Trod-
den Humanity.
•‘Well.” said a well known San Anto-
nian to a Light reporter "I am In favor
of Ihe labor movement and will support
It for all I am worth hut I tell you can-
didly that I keep a sharp eye upon the
leaders or so-called leaders. There was
a time when 1 considered that every
leader was a patriot but I don’t now. I
heard a man recently speak In San An-
tonio on the cause of labor and he put
up a powerful plea for down-trodden
humanity. As he spoke. I looked back a
few years and remembered the time
when he worked I i Fort Worth. A few
years previously he had married
A PRETTY YOUNG GIRL
Who liv d near Cor-lcana and life
seemed to have a golden hue. but nt the
time that I knew him. that pretty girl
wife was transformed by bls
cruelly Imo an haag.rd. care-worn
woman and she and her children
were scantily dad and waded with bare
feet through the black mud while her
husband the now local politician the
blatant advocate for down trodden
humanity drank tils wages robbing
them of proper sustenance nod clothing
s ending it among harlots A d
what was worse Mill he Inquently re-
warded the poor woman’saflectlon with
cruel blows. One night he capped hie
vil'alnv bv takn g a harlnt anil a wtdsky
jug t<> his own home The wife nattir-
aliv obj-eted to the Indignity and both
of t hem boat her badly until -he was
compelled to fly for her life. N>lghbure
went to the buiiie. ami found there only
the meuitlltig drunken bii-bnnd and a
drunken harlot. The w ife was missing
but there wu
■‘BI.OOI> OX THE FLOOR.”
The matter was reported to the police.
They came to th" hou>e ami questioned
the b.Bbami an 1 thu harlot b it neither
could give any account of the wife's
whereabouts. The liu<bai.d and the
harlot Were taken In custody anti lodged
In jail. That day a huge mob assem-
bled at the Jail and in the name of Judge
Lynch demanded that the two ’jeturned
over to them for summary execution
In the absence of the corps the sheriff
objected but he said; “Boys give me
24 hours. If I don't find the woman
alive then on my honor I will
TURN THEM OVER TO YOU
ami you can do what you please.” The
crowd did not like the idea but seeing
the sheriff was determlnged and relying
upon his word they gave the ’equired
respite. Searching parties were Insti-
tuted. and some hours after the wife
was found horribly bruised and cut
lying asleep on (be ground some miles
distant from the house. They awoke
her. and it was found that her reason
had fled. She was Insane. This was
fortunate for the guilty ones for there
was i.o testimony against them al-
fhougb a l k lew that they were to
blame. After being in jail for a month
the husband and the harlot were re-
leased. These things I know fora fact
and you cannot wonder that when 1
hear him speak the vision of the poor
OUTRAGED WOMAN
rises before me and the speaker sinks
below contempt. 1 could tell you other
eioriea of wrongs bribery and corrup-
tion that has disgraced the labor move-
ment and retarded its progress. I say re-
tarded for Ite triumph will come when
the movement is purified ami the letd
era are honest.”
Tax-Payers Protects Yourselves I
The following communication is being
printed and circulated widely in this
city:
Dear Sir—l desire to call your atten-
tion to a law passed by the special ses-
sion of the Itgislature of the state of
Texas In January 1884 authorizing ihe
county commissioners'couris of ihe sev-
eral con mien ot thia state to issue bonds
for such amounts ns may be necessary
tor Hie purpose of buying or construct-
ing bridges for public uses in sucn coun-
ties. See general laws Texas 1884 pp
29 and 36.
Section three in effect allows counties
to lie bonded fur this purpose for ten per
cent ot llieir entire taxable value.
The attorney general hue given hla
opinion that the law In question was un-
constitutionally pass'd and Ie therefore
void. However lam informed that in-
terested par les will make a strong ef
fort before the coming Sea Mon of our
leg stature to have thia law re-enacted
in a legal manner and I therefore desire
to vail your attention to this matter. In
order tnat you may be prepa ed io use
what influence you can tu prevent the
re-enaelmenl of tills infamous law.
Tne sad experience which lax-payers
have bad. and are now having tn pay-
ing for shamelessly extravagant ex-
penditures for court-houses and jails ad
monishes them to see that no such op-
portunities fur rascality are given county
commissioners and contractors tn erect-
ing useless bridges.
As an evidence of what counties
would like to do 1 mav mention that a
few patriotic citizen* of O dhaui county
with a population that will not probably
exceed 200 souls tried very bard to sad-
dle that county with a debt of $20000
for a bridge and was only prevented by
Ihe Uficonstitutionality of the law.
With a law ot this kind unscrupulous
county commissioners have an oppor
tunity to issue bonds for the construc-
tion of bridges over all the branches and
gullies in the state and thereby build
up their private fortunes at the expense
of the tax payers.
The state of Texas is now suffering
from the eflect of the extravagant court-
houses constructed at the expense of the
tax payers for the benefit of unscrupu-
lous coni Factors and county officials.
Must we suffer from a like exfravagance
in useless bridge building for the bene-
fit of the same class of cormorants ?
