IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS.
It is good to give thanks. It is wise
to eat your Thanksgiving turkey and
cranberries with a glad heart and a
merry spirit. It assists digestion and
knocks the bines into the middle of next
week. There is nothing so pleasantly
affects ourselves as giving thanks.
There is nothing that so cheers the
spirits of those around us as a thank-
ful disposition. There is no greater
antidote on earth to all the ills that
flesh is heir to than a thankful mind.
Blessed is that man twice blessed
is that woman who is of a thankful spir-
it. It is cheering as the sound of the
chirping bird on the sill of your window
in the early morning hours. The mu-
sic of the little feathered thanksgiver
sounds in your heart all the day. The
music of the gladness in the heart of
the thankful man or woman is a foun-
tan of pleasure. Blessed is the house
that homes them blessed the home that
they make sunny with their presence.
To feel thankful is not so hard as
some people think. There is no lot
in the world that might not be improved i
upon and if we look only to the possible!
better instead of the more easily pos-
sible worse we will not grow thankful.
But turn the mirror and see the worse
that might have been. The bitterness
that we might have supped full on in-
stead of barely tasting. The disaster
that might have overwhelmed instead
of lightly brushing us as it passed by.
There is nothing so smoothes the
rough unevennesses of life as thank-
fulness. Nothing that so cushions
the hard seats of earth as "thankfulness.
Nothing that so clears the sky of its
clouds and brings in the unchanging
blue as thankfulness. Nothing that
so discounts disaster and discourages (
hard fate as thankfulness. The thank- ;
fnl spirit can give points to hard luck
and euchre him in the game of life for
it holds the best trumps in the pack.
There are some people who have
more reason to be thankful than others
that is more in the concrete but the
occasions of thankfulness are only rel-
ative. All life is relative. One can-
not measure its possessions its joys
or its sorrows its pains or its pleas-
ures its gain or its loss Its good or its
ill its rise or its fall its poverty or its
plenty in the measures of another. So
the thankfulness of one life is no mea-
sure of the thankfulness of another
life.
Some children are richer with a few
simple toys some bits of string and
rags than others are with all the lat-
est creations of the toy shops. Some
men are richer with an income of hun-
dreds than others are with an income
of as many thousands. Some women
can make a home of peace and plenty
and a palace of pleasure out of what
others would construct a castle for
Giant Despair. Some people can pile
up thanksgiving on the same platter
that others load with complainings.
It is the letter that killeth. It is the
spirit that maketh alive. It is not the
raw materials of life that count but
the skill with which they are manufac-
tured into the fabric of our daily living.
Some women are thankful for sweet
children and enough to feed and clothe
them moderately with. Others are
thankful for far less and some are
not thankful with much more.
It is not the amount of the
what for but the spirit of contentment
that is within us.
There is no investment that home
can make for the children in it that will
pay such returns as the cultivation in
them of a thankful spirit. The ver-
juice and bile of a discontented nature
one that turns all the milk of human
nature to curd poisons the very well-
springs of enjoymept and makes all
that is really good in life appear evil
and that continually is more to be
avoided than the pestilence that leaves
its trail of death behind.
Blessed is the thankful spirit. Blessed
is the home where thankfulness is the
prevailing atmosphere. Blessed is
that nation where thankfulness is ex-
alted. It is well for those to fast and
pray who feel the burden of their sins
on them so heavy that they cannot be
glad. But it is better to feel so glad
inside that it is impossible to show
the gloom of earth in your smiling coun-
tenance. Better one continual grin
than to go with a sour face along the
paths that all things conspire to make
full of the sunlight of summer.
Beloved! You have come to the cele-
bration of another Thanksgiving of the
nation. You have made glad the
hearts of those around you in the ob-
servance of the day. You have gone
out of yourselves in order to touch
gome other selves and the going out
has done you good. There is a sweeter
taste in your mouth after these Thanks-
giving offerings for they are not offer-
ed to self. All that leads to this for-
getfulness of our self and a remem-
brance of other self is good.
The American nation is alone in this
that it offers its annual Thanksgiving.
The Jews were the pioneers along the
way of this national Thanksgiving. It
has become a custom of these United
Staets sanctioned by the authority of
all the ages of her national life. It is
a good custom. There has been no
year in all these hundred and twenty
four in which there has not been enough
to give thanks for. Few years In them
all Jn which so much to give thanks for
as this.
It has been a year of great plenty.
Of great prosperity. Of great national
progress. Of just occasion of great
national pride. Our flag floats over
more territory than it ever did before
It is the symbol of protection to more

people than ever before. It is the em-
blem of larfMf liberties to new peoples
It is the assurance of development to
semi-savages never before under its
folds. It has a new meaning to all the
nations and is more reverently held at
home.
It speaks in plain Uncle Sam to all
the east proclaiming the dawn of self
government the death of oppression
the disappearance of all forms of ex-
tortion. It proclaims liberty of life
and freedom of thought and enjoyment
of all fruits of toll physical and men-
tal to all who are grouped under its
starry folds tawny savage or civilized.
It rears its silken signal over the is- >
lands so long in darkness and the light ■
of new day breaks over their sea of sus-
pense.
To the old established nations of Eu-
rope it preaches the march of new
world ideas. The latent strength of
a national power not dreamed of shakes
itself out of the folds of the national
flag to the wonder and astonishment of 1
the earth. Under its revelations and
undulations the navies of the seas and
the armies of the earth read a new in-
terpretation of our national strength
and a new respect for the "Greatest
Republic of the Ages” is born into be-
ing.
We give thanks most devoutly and
reverently for all this thanking our own I
strong right arm for all that it has'
taught the outside nations of our quiet-1
ly developed inside virility. This is
well. But while we gave thanks thus [
we did not forget the cost. The sacri- '
flee of strong young manhood on this
altar of the nation’s growth. The |
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
church and the blood of our patriots is I
the seed of the enlarged and enlarging
nation.
The baptism of the flag in blood is
something not to mourn for. Better
give thanks that so many noble young
were ready to follow the flag to the de-
liverance of the islands of the sea than
sense the degeneracy of an a£e that
would hold life before progress and
self dearer than nation. Even for our
noble dead we give thanks while we
sympathise with the mourners who lay
this sacrifice upon the holy altar of a
nation's service. Such memories are
sweet in the day of our Thanksgiving.
Beloved! It is good to give thanks.
It is good to feel that there is occasion
for thankfulness in the lines of our
national life. Good to know that in
our homes and. in our hearts a thank-
ful recognition of real good to us and
ours is noted. Good to feel that we are
not human hedgehogs rolled up the
wrong way tormenting ourselves with
our pickles whenever one approaches.
It is good to have given thanks this
year. We will do it again next
year.
In the meantime let us keep tab of
our thankful occasions and of our oc-
casions of dissatisfaction. Let us note
the days of good and gladness the oc-
casions of pleasant things and their
opposites and keeping score the one
again the other see how far the
scale of our sadness is outweighed by
the scale of gladness. So will we find
increasing occasions in the days that
are coming before our next national day
of giving thanks for being always of a
thankful spirit. We will thus learn
that it is a good thing to give thanks.

Some Idea of the profits that would
accrue to the city by reason of muni-
cipal ownership and operation of the
water and light plants may be glean-
ed when it is understood as is a fact
that the city pays to each corporation
operating the respective plants a sum
■sufficient to cover its entire operating
expenses leaving the gross sums re-
ceived from private patrons as net
profits less amount necessary to pay-
interest on their bonded debts.
I fear that the purposed landed- gift
by the Waterworks company to the ci-
ty if accepted will prove a dearly
bought piece of property in the end.
It no sinister motive lodges beneath
the surface if no selfish scheme lurks
behind why iwas the tendered gift
hedged in with such unusual and ua-
unheard of conditions? Gentlemen.

Mr. Bryan s chances for the presi-
dency do not improve as Mr. "George
Washington" Aguinaldo's for a dic-
tatorship fade. As they are both in
the same boat they will both go down
together.
The Light is entitled to renewed con-
gratulations as the walls the hand-

gin to loom up and dieplay their sym-
metrical beauty of design for to the
Light's persistent a«id never tiring ag-
itation more than to any other factor
is due the success culminating inzthe
erection of the needed structure.
If the money spent thus far in im-
provements at San Pedro Springs
park be accepted as a criterion of the
sum necessary to improve and beau-
tify the tract of land tendered the city
by the Waterworks company then it
is no exaggeration to say that >lOOOOO
will fall short at a sufficiency.
John Bull has at last notified the na-
tions of the world that he has a iwar
on his hands in South Africa. Your
Uncle Paul told Johnny he couldn’t
play in his back yard but John Bull
thought he was big enough to bully
the Transvaal. Mr. Bull has now
learned a thing or two and if he es-
capes annihilation and defeat he can
consider himself lucky. It is so long
since England tackled a race of in-
telligent white people that she has for-
gotten the lesson taught her by George
Washington and Andrew Jackson. But
her memory is now being vividly re-
freshed by the Boers and the Afrik-
anders.
...
The Texans and the gallant Thirty-
third are making a good record in the
Philippines but at a terrible cost ac-
cording to the casualty reports. Men
with shoulder straps seem to be the
targets <for sharpshooters.
If the Waterworks company will re-
scind its tender of that 130-acre tract
of land to the city and invest the value
of it and as much more as may be nec-
essary in a first-class stand-pipe for
the storage of water supplied to con-
sumers it would be to the manifest
benefit of the citizens of San .Antonio
though probably not to the Waterworks
company.

The present city administration is
making considerable history for it-
self these days which will be treas-
ured away for future use say in 1901

Congress meets in regular session to-
morrow though thank God! no day
has yet been set for the convening of
the Texas legislature in extra ses-
sion.
The building of a few mills and fact-
। ories in San Antonio would bring one
I or more trunk lines of railway into the
city with a rush and that too with-
out any request for $lOOOOO bonuses.
...
The Democrats promise to reaffirm
their plautorm of 1896. Let them do
so by all means. Silver was killed
very dead in November 1896 and next
year the people will simply act as cor-
oners in pronouncing it as dead as
greenbackism.
...
Bryan and his allies are like men rid-
ing in a railway train with their backs
to the engine. They see nothing until
it has passed them. Bourbonism is a
back number in the United States but
the mossbacks are rather slow finding
it out. >

Mr. Bushick asserts that he is not a
candidate for the congressional nomi-
nation at the hands of the Democracy
of the Twelfth district But we have
distinguished authority for the state-
ment that "Caesar thrice refused the
crown.”
...
With all due deference to the strain-
ed relations (social and financial) which
exist between the Colonel acid the Maj-
or I rise to renew my motion that the
people of the Twelfth Texas congres-
sional district nominate and elect Col.
George W. Brackenridge to represent
them in Congress. He would wield
a greater influence in Washington and
accomplish more real practical good
for the district than any forty Demo-
crats who could be selected and sent
there.

That sanitary association after a
brief but very noisy and ostentatious
birth appears to have prematurely
faded into the dim erstwhile. If so be
it however that it still retains a ves-
tige of vitality I suggest that it take
up and investigate the quality of San
Antonio's water supply for domestic
use. It will find it a fruitful field to in-
vestigate.

duties and responsibilities of the chief
executive of a modern progress.ve mu-
nicipality. In a recent address to the
council of his city touching upon
"kitchen kabinets" and the "pulls" of
certain partisans to control appoint-
ments and dictate legislation the ma-
yor among other things said:
"The administration of the city's
government during my official term
shall be a business one and kept out
of politics. By kept out of politic*
1 mean this: I shall require my ap-
pointees of heads of departments and
eubdepartments to run their depart-
ments in the interests of the city and
not politics. They shall be men fitted
to discharge the duties of their respect-
ive offices. The use of a municipal
position to advance the interests of any
politician or party will be at once prop-
er reason for the removal of such sub-
ordinate and if the head of the depart-
ment or subdepartmnet does not remove
such subordinate I will remove the
head of the department or the subde-
partment who so falls. The munici-
pal government of Baltimore shall not
become a political machine nor shall
its affairs be run by politicians. lam
to be mayor of this city and there can
be no power behind the throne to whom
my municipal officials shall owe any
allegiance except the people.”
I have heard like utterances from
other mayors but candor compels
the admission that my experience
teaches me that they were "more hon-
ored in the breach than in the obser-
vance.” However Baltimore's mayor
may break the record.

' Little Bille Gobel and his band of
conspirators have not yet succeeded
in stealing the state of Kentucky and

Score one for decency honesty and

Perhaps if the Plumbers' .Trust
would reduce their charges to a rate
that would not virtually confiscate a
man’s homestead there would be a
larger number of connections made
with the sewers. Talking about trusts
if a more arrogant merciless mercen-
ary and unreasonable combination was
ever organized than the Plumbers’
trust I have yet to hear of it. The
rates adopted by it are extortionate
and it brooks no opposition.
If anything had been needed to ac-
centuate the narrow partisan provin-
cialism of San Antonio’s morning pap-
er Tuesday’s issue supplied it. In its
report at the council proceedings. It
published the full text of Aiderman
Barker’s remarks deifying and idolizing
Colonel George Brackenridge and ad-
vocating the acceptance by the city of
the tract of land tendered by him. The
practical sensible remarks of Aider-
man Davis opposing the acceptance
and giving rational and unanswerable
reasons why it should not be accepted
were dismissed with the briefest re-
ference in a few lines. And
that’s what the Navarro street hand-
bill denominates metropolitan journa-
lism! The Light with commendable en-
terprise and impartial honesty and
fairness printed both speeches in full.
Has the mayor yet learned whether
the city carpenters h'ave or have not
been recently engaged in making ex-
tensive improvements upon the private
property of one of the city’s heads of

It was hoped that Gen. Otis would
be able to present the American people
with the scalp of Mr. "George Wash-
ington” Auginaldo as a Thanksgiving
offering but having failed in this It will
be just as acceptable as a Christmas
gift.
The remarks of Col "Bill” Davis are
not conspicuously distlngu shed for sym-
metrically rounded periods or brilliant
rhetorcial flourishes but they are mark
ed by a sturdy Anglo-Saxon honesty
and directness that render them
"pow’fully fetchin'.”
The supreme court has affirmed the
constitutionality of the fee bill. What’s
the difference? The "boys” will go
right along on the same old lines just
as it no fee bill was ever enacted. There
are other methods to strangle a cat
than choking her with hot butter.

course be the usual lively campaign
Bryan's star though temporarily in

The City brewery is still mulcted
by the city to the tune of $5OO a year
for the privilege of traversing a few
blocks of the public streets with its
motors and cans but the Consolidated
Trust occupies and utilizes miles upon
miles of the public thoroughfares with
its motors and cars for which it pays
the city not a penny. And that's
what is called an »-qual and impartial
distribution of public burdens!
All talk about the retirement of the
Red Prince from the field of politics
is the rankest of nonsense. It may
be that private Interests will deter him
from entering as a candidate for any
office but an election in San Antonio
or Bexar county without the virile
“Nat” as a conspicuous figure would
be akin to the presentation of “Ham-
let” with the character of the melan-
choly Dane omitted.

If the Waterworks company desires
to unload its nvell worn plant upon the
city as appears to be Its evident with
and Intent why don’t it submit a plain
business-like proposition to that effect
instead of beating around the bush
and selecting its present tortuous and
sinuous methods?
City and county real estate are on a
boom and rapidly enhancing in value
—only however for purposes of as-
sessment and taxation.
The quality of our water supply
needs inquiring into. Dr. Campbell
city bacteriologist should be asked to
make an official report or if he has al-
ready submitted one to the mayor It
should be made public not pigeon-
holed.
A great many people especially the
middle and laboring classes visit our
parks with their families for the pur-
pose of rationally enjoying a glass of
beer in pleasant social Intercourse
with their friends and neighbors. Under
the conditions exacted by the Water
company in its tender of the river
tract of ground to the city they would
be debarred of this privilege or plea-
sure should the city accept the proffer-
ed gift and so they would derive no
benefit but be compelled to visit the
old favorites —San Pedro Springs and
Riverside—while the goo-goos would
have an exclusive monopoly of the new
grounds.
When a man becomes so intolerant
that he believes a fellow-citizen "should
be run out of town” simply because
that fellow-citizen sees preper to dis-
agree with him on some public ques-
tion of economics or politics he should
at once appoint himself a committee
of one to carry out the job instead of
mouthing around about what others
should do. The force of this obser-
vation Jies in the application of it.
Prohibiticn Park could never become
popular with the masses of the people
though in time it might be made a
lovely rendezvous for the dudes and
dudlnes and their aristocratic elders
thus serving to build up a class dis-
tinction and social prejudice in our
midst which which would bode no good
to the general community.
The phllospher c< the Austin Tribune
sagely remarks: "Do not condemn a
man because he is not as good as you
believe you are. You may be fooled
in yourself after all.”
A local hebdomadal prints the follow-
ing political on dlt: “It te reported that
Mr. McMinn may again be a candidate
for Congress the coming year co the
Populist and Labor ticket. He could
not be elected and such a race might
jeopardize the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate.” The more reason
then why Mr. McMinn should patriot-
ically waive all personal considerat-
ions and make the race. He could not
better serve his country and hie peo-
ple than by aiding in the defeat of
Democratic candidates next year and
every year.
As against the absurd claim put
forth that the proffered gift of land
to the city by the Water company is
valued at $750000 the fact may be stat-
ed that 283 acres of the choicest por-
tion of the tract including all the im-
provements on the entire property
were sold to the Sisters a year or so
ago for the sum of $lOOOOO and that
was considered an excessive and un-
reasonable sum. This would be at
the rate of a fraction over $350 an acre.
Nciw. according to the sworn state-
ments of the officials of the Water com-
pany as rendered to the county asses-
sor there is a fraction less than 130
acres in the tract tendered the dty
after deducting the amount reserved.
This at $350 an acre would amount to
$45500 and that's its full value as
against its claimed value of $750000!
And there you are!
That aiderman will Immortalize him-
self with his constituency who will in-
troduce and succeed in passing through
the council a resolution directing and
compelling the city marshal through
the members of his department to
cause the arrest of the proper parties

ery violation committed by them or
their employes of the ordinances of the
city regardless of any private arrange-
ments or understanding that may have
been entered into. Let the police pro-
duce the offenders before “Oom Paul”

his duty In the premises.
