The man who hurrahs for a third
mayoralty candidate hurrahs for Cal-
laghan. That’s the size of it.
Let the voters look after the board
of aidermen and they will look after
the mayor provided a board of the
right stripe is elected.
The republicans have nothing to
lose and nothing to gain as republi-
cans by the election of any man for
mayor of this city. It is a question of
municipal policy and creditable ad-
ministration pure and simple.
The erection of that long delayed
Alamo monument seems to have
taken a fresh hold upon the citizens of
Texas. Suggestions are made that
subscriptions be solicited from all
quarters on San Jacinto Day. The
Light suggests that the Fidelia so-
ciety of this city give a repetition of
their late concert at the opera house
on San Jacinto Day charge a full ad-
mission and give the proceeds to the
monument fund. It will be a good
thing all around. It will advertise the
• society it will give San Antonians the
finest instrumental concert they have
ever enjoyed in this city and it will
aid the monument enterprise nearly
$2000 if properly managed.
The Light suggests to the honor-
able body now convened at Austin
that if this state need one thing more
than another to economize her legis-
lature and legal processes and provide
safeguards for her ballot it is a con-
stitutional convention. It is a safe
speedy practical and economical rem-
edy for many evils and crudities exist-
ing in the present state constitution.
Of course the outcome of that conven-
tion would depend upon the character
of the members chosen to compose it
but the odds are very great in
its improving the present instrument.
(Japt. Mark Percy of Cox’s Head
Me. has a foxhound of great grit and
intelligence. He got after a fox the
other day and chased him steadily for
two days being frequently seen and
heard during that time. Finally the
fox completely exhausted fell to the
ground but showed fight. The dog
nearly as tired as the fox seemed to
think that he had not enough strength
left to fight with ami so he sat down
close by the fox and watched him.
Thus they were found by a farmer
who saw part of tlie performance. The
fox was so tired that the man easily
killed it with a club.
The innate fairness of the Texas
democratic mind journalistically de-
veloped is demonstrated in this edi-
torial note from the Galveston News:
“A ballot bill like the new law of
Massachusetts has been introduced
in the Maine legislature. The repub-
lican papers generally oppose it
claiming that the present law is am-
ple and satisfactory. Such opposi-
tion is presumptive evidence that
there is some good in the new plan.”
The News being authority this bal-
lot law was passed by the Massachu-
setts legislature. Does or does not
the News man know that the Massa-
chusetts legislature wh’ich passed
that ballot law was composed of one
hundred and ninety-three republi-
cans eighty-five democrats and one
independent. If so why does the
News seek to carry the impression
that a republican state would oppose
the passage of a ballot law if it had
any good features in it? The ballot
laws of Maine and Massachusetts are
not identical though both are repub-
lican states but both are infinitely
preferable to the ballot laws of this
state which is overwhelmingly demo-
cratic. The Massachusetts people
deemed the new law an improvement
the Maine journals do not deem it
necessary in their case. The News
fails to give a reason for this uncalled
for screed against the republican at-
titude towards a pure ballot.
There are bills enough already in-
troduced before the Texas legislature
to cover nearly every possibility of
legislative action. Why not spend the
balance of the session discussing and
amending measures already proposed
instead of burdening the record with
a thousand abortions which will nev-
er secure the smallest consideration at
the hands of this present body ? The
constituencies will not grumble if
some members should fail of intro-
ducing his score of useless measures;
unless largely because the ground
has already been covered by bills al-
ready introduced.
Made Himself at Home.
From the Boston Traveller.
It is said the Galena ran aground at
Port-au-Prince just as naturally as if
if she had been at home in New York
harbor. There is nothing like being
one’s self when away from home.
Full Dress In Samoa.
From the Chicago Herald.
The king wears nothing but chin
whiskers and a string of beads. This
is en regie at Samoa.
Henry M. Stanley’s real name is
John Howlands. He was born in
Wales near the little town of Den-
bigh and his parents were so poor
that he was sent at the age of three to
the poor-house of St. Asaph. He
shipped from Liverpool as a cabin boy
when he was fourteen and reached
New Orleans. He was.there adopted
by a merchant named Stanley who
gave him his name. Young Stanley
fought in the confederate army. He is
now if alive forty-eight years of age.
Citizens of San Antonio.
1 have been frequently asked the past few
days if I would present my name to you for
the honorable position and office of mayor at
the ensuing election. I consider it but right
now to say that if you desire to elect me
your mayor for the next two years 1 will en-
deavor to prove to you all that I will honor
you equally by you honoring me. Every one
in the city is too well acquainted with me to
require an extended statement as to
whether if elected I would serve you faith-
fully. I assure you gentlemen that if elect-
ed I will serve the whole people in accord-
ance with my oath of office. I therefore so-
licit your votes. Very Respectfully
John 11. Bolton.

A Dig In the Ribs
if on the right side and lower part of the
aphragtn though playfully meant and de-
livered is calculated to evoke profanity from
a chappy whose liver is out of order. When
that region is sore and congested pokes seem
fiendish. Look at a man’s countenance ere
you prod him under the ribs. If his skin and
eyeballs have a sallow tinge you may infer
also that hts tongue is furred his breath apt
to be sour that he has pains not only beneath
his ribs but also under the right shoulder-
blade Also that his bowels are Irregular and
his digestion impaired. Instead of making a
iocose demonstration on his ribs recommend
im to take and steadily persist in taking
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters the finest anti-
bilious and alterative medicine extant. In-
comparable is it also for dyspepsia rheu-

in time.” This wonderful Remedy is

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Dreiss Thompson
& Co.’s drug store as their giving away to
their customers of so many free bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs Colds
Asthma Bronchitis Croup and all throat
diseases quickly cund. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting a trial bottle free

Are We to Have War?
Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may the battle waged
by medical science against disease will
never cease until we'arrive at that utopian
epoch when the human family shall cease
to be afflicted witli bodily ailments. One of
the most potent weapons which the armory
of medicine furnishes is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters which is of special utility
as a family remedy as it is adapted to the
immediate relief and ultimate cure of those
disorders of the stomach liver and bowels
which are of commonest occurrence Indi-
gestion billiousness and constipation are
inseparable companions and these ailments
are completely eradicated by the Bitters.
But the remedial scope of this superlative-
ly wholesome ajpl genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailments rheumatism and kid-
neytroubles; its action in these as in the
other complaint* being characterized by un-
equalled thoroughness. 11-29-8 t
Terrible.
Two-thirds of all deaths in New
York City are from oeusumption or
pneumonia. The same proportion
holds for most other cities. Delays
are dangerous. Dr. Acker’s English
Remedy for Consumption will always
relieve and may save your life.

Better Than Bloody Battles.
General Wheatcroft Nelson says-
‘My experience in the English army
is well as in America convinces me
that nothing so thoroughly purifies
the blood or adds to health vigor and
life as Acker’s English Blood Elixir.
This great Remedy is sold by

Terrible Forewarnings.
