TUESDAY APRIL 22 1890.
New Mexico’s wool crop is large
her wool crops and her tlodks increas-
ing and good prospects for good wool
prices. Tally one for protection for
wool tariff for the republican party.

The Texas Iron News challenges
the San Antonio Light to “name
one thing that Texas has lost by ner
brutal democratic majority.” How
would it be to answer—a decent regu-
lation law?
—
When the New York Sun says that
Cleveland is increasing weight at the
rate of twenty-live pounds a month
it evidently means that this is about
the additional weight felt each month
by the democracy who are carrying
him along for 1x92 timber.
San Antonio is leading the real
estate procession of Texas. She is
leading the convention procession
this year and site will lead the lair
procession next year.
The Panhandle laugiis and grows
fat. Tiie wheat prospects there are
immense. Two years from the pas-
sage of the bill authorizing private
capital to open Aransas Pass. Pan-
handle wheat will be taken at the
gulf coa-t as ocean freight.
Tex \s is in line with as good crop-
prospects as ever delighted the heart
ot a Ione Star granger. The rains of
tins past week have settled the hash
for 1890.
—- ♦ ♦
The man who keeps his eyes open
will not fail to note that all this talk
about President Harrison's lack of
availability and Cleveland's availa-
bility as presidential candidates is
strictly confined to the democratic
press.
The < I lobe-Democrat pays this hon-
est tribute to the sterling patriotism
of Hon. Sam Randall:
“Mr. Randall was buried with the
honors of the Grand Army of the Re-
public; and the members of that or-
ganization will always cherish a
grateful recollection of him as one of
the few democrats who never missed
a chance to promote the interests of
the Union soldier element.”
Mr. Randall was a patriot first a
democrat afterward. In this lay the
great gulf that separated him from
so many of his party
There are no indications that the
real estate boom lias lost its force in
this city. The week opens well as
will be seen by a reference to the col-
umns of the Light and there are
more things in sight than would suf-
fice to make some little places like
Jalveston go crazy with excitement.
?fian Antonio does not hurry her gait
Sa perceptible atom but goes right
lifting selling and buying while oth-
sell and get sold.
FAIR DECISIONS.
The Light has been requested by
some of the gentlemen interested in
securing subscriptions to the Fair
fund to reopen the matterand urge up-
on the citizens of San Antonio the nec-
essity of holding a fair and the great
disadvantage to them of keeping tiie
fair gates closed this fall. For the
two months closing with April Ist
tiie Light had been importunate in
urging that this subscription of $25-
iX)O be made good. Again and again
the value of the fair to this city as a
business community was brought
home in every way that this journal
could suggest. The need of commenc-
ing work early this spring so that
ample time for preparation would be
given was dwelt upon and the as-
surance given that the blunder of last;
year attempting to hold a fair on six
weeks preparation would not here--
peated. The losses incurred b>’ the
fair association in holding the fair
last year on a $15000 bonus was set
forth ami the declaration made by
authority that unless the $25000 was
subscribed the fair would not beheld.
All this and more the Light has set
forth. The first of April came. The
amount needed was half raised amt
when the directors met a few days
ago it was decided to hold no fair
simply because San Antonio had not
raised the needed bonus. The Light
can see no good to come from any far-
ther agitation. If our people want a
fair they can raise that amount. If
not they can take any other steps
open to them but the Lihgt does
not know ot any way to hold the fair
this fall save by making up that sub-
scription and this so far there seems
little prospect of doing. Were
that money subscribed now and
the order to be given today
for fair prenaiation there is veiy
little time remaining. The question
of premiums is to be considered an
catalogues issued; of posters and ad-
vertisemcos and advertising matter
to be prepared. There is no time now
to compete for premiums that may be
offered for crops yet to be raised and
this ought to be done if the fair would
be what it should. True this is not
an insuperable objection for this
might be deferred another year but
there are other things. The question
of transportation is to be considered
and provided for and this is no easy
matter. If a rapid transit road is to
be built to the fair ground is there
time to build one. and if not iiow is
the problem of transportation to be
met'? A mighty big corner of last
year’s bonus was knocked off' in pro-
viding temporary transportation and
it is a costly experiment. Those who
think that a successful fair can be
served up hot to order like a dinner
at a restaurant are a long way oil.
The Light has no intention or desire
of throwing cold water upon this fair
movement. The Light has done
more to bring the matter to public
notice this spring than all the other
papers in the city combined have
done and the Light realizes
that San Antonio is losing big
money by not holding a lair this fall.
The Light has told the people of
this long weeks ago: but the Light
also remembers with mortification
and chagrin that a so-called fair was
neid last fall and tiiat for lack ot
time in preparation that fair was a
disgrace to this city and tiie cause of
no little caustic criticism upon the
management. Tiie Light has no dis-
position to aid directly or indirectly
in repeating that experiment. If the
citizens want the fair they should
have said so on or before April Ist.
It may not be too late yet but they
must speak mighty loud and sudden
ii they speak at all. The Light con-
siders it a great misfortune that mat-
ters are in the condition that they
are but it consoles itself with the re-
flection that it has done its whole
duty to the city even at the risk of
being misunderstood. The towns
throughout Southwest Texas univer-
sally regret tiie situation and would
mutually rejoice with the Light to
see the condition changed and prep-
arations immediately tiegun for as
good a fair as money broad and judi-
cious advertising and five months of
preparation can turn out.
The debate on the tariff bill will be
watched with great interest through-
out Texas particularly tiie clause
taxing lead ores one and a half cents
a pound. If reciprocity comes with
Mexico that lead tax will go glimmer-
ing.
The state of Louisiana findsitself
unable to take care of the overflow
sufferers ami appeals to congress for
aid The amount asked is $lOOOOO.
Were it ten times that amount It
should not be withheld as the case is
pressing and the suffering great.
