Advertising San Antonio by pub-
liahlug a pamphlet will do as much
good as If the money was pitched into
the river or put into the fire.
'Gov. Barney Gibbs says 500 ille-
gal votes were polled in the city of
Dallas and that many voters repeat-
ed their votes yet the democrats
with 130000 majority will not enact a
registration law. Why their patial-
ity for"frauds on the ballot-box?
To consumptives in the northern
states: Why do you not make haste
and come to San Antonio where you
will be cured without medicine? Flor-
ida is too humid a climate for your
disease; but the climate of San Anto-
nio will relieve you and restore you to
health.
•The Light ventures the prediction
that the road amendment to the con
stiiution of Texas will prove to be a
woeful failure. If the counties should
levy and collect a tax for road purpo
ses the county commissioners who
were rash enough to take the step
would be defeated by the people at
the first election and their successors
would be pledged to rescind the order
imposing such tax. We are not one
step nearer good dirt roads than we
were prior to - the adoption of the
amendment. Tne people will kick
in case more taxes are laid on them
New York Suu is for Hill and
against Cleveland and it is a “tower
of strength” to any man ’or party
whose cause it espouses. It charges
that if Cleveland had voted on No-
vember 4 he would have voted on
anti-damMratic ticket as he wis op
posed to Tammany. It says that ex-
Secretary Fairchild made speeches
against the Tammany candidatesand
that ail of ( Ivelands friends in the
city of New York fought Tammany
with tooth and nail. Tne mugwump
newspapers the Times Post &c. who
are staunch supporters of Cleveland
all battled against the New Yord dt-
moeracy. These statements are in-
contro-’ertibly true and they show
that. Hill will certainly get the dele-
gation from the state of New York
in 1892.

for years we have been selling Dr. King’s

faction. We do not hesitate to guarantee

The Galveston News arraigns the
New York police for preventing the
anarchists from holding their meet-
ing and argues that any and every-
body has a clear constitutional right
to hold a public meeting and to prop-
agate their doctrines. This is not the
case. The anarchists are the enemies
of all existing forms of government—-
of society as now organized—of all
rights of property and of peace law
and order and as such they are out-
side of the pale of the constitution
and the law which they are seeking
to destroy by force and violence.
The triumph of the anarchists means
the downfall of our government and
our system of laws and it is’perfectly
legitimate to prevent the spread of
their nefarious doctrines. The News
was certainly oft of its base.
The New York World hits the
Ohio democracy a blow that would
fell an ox when it charges it with
having sold two federal senatorshlps
—one to Payne and the other to Cal-
vin 8. Brice. The truth of the charge
is past controversy. The democrats
in the legislature accepted money tor
their votes. The World says one of
these senatorshlps was knocked down
to an outsider—a man who did not
live in Ohio ‘ a speculator in Wall
street a monopolist a representative
of corporate power of aggregated
wealth”—Calvin S. Brice.
This fellow Brice ls 4 the chairman
of the democratic national executive
committee and is grooming Cleve-
land. He carried Cleveland to the
Thurman in his splendid
palace car.
The future growth of San Antonio
largely depends on the enterprise and
vim displayed by our citizens. Live
men make a live city. If there are
live men in San Antonio it is time
they are coming to the front and giv-
ing some proof of their vim and en-
ternrise in building up our city and
widening its prosperity. We have
plenty of local capital for all enter-
prises provided it could be enlisted
in the right channels and kept in
them. Factories tanneries and shoe
factories would materially contribute
to the growth wealth and prosperity
of our city and these must be put in-
to operation by our local capitalists.
It is a suicidal policy to sit with folded
hands waiting for outside enterprise
and capital to do what our own peo-
ple should do. “The gods help those
who help themselves.”
In order to give the reader an idea
of the growth and development of
Texas the Light presents the follow-
ing list of the vote cast for governor
and assures the reader that the list is
correct as it comes from official

Fine Sport of the Census Taker
From the White Republican.
The story of Mr. Petroff the census
supervisor of Alaska makes very in-
teresting reading; he traveled 12000
miles by boat and had to go without
his dinner a few times; had to im-
provise schedules etc.; but the man
who took the census in the sth dis-
trict* of Texas had to climb <2000
miles of b »rb wire fences and travel a
thousand miles more on the hurricane
deck of a Texas mustang and is still
waiting to hear from Mr Porter about
his pay; or is required to hunt up the
man he reported as having a gotch
ear and find out the whichness there-
of before he can expect his U. 8. war-
rant Great country this; fine sport
taking census.

The Legal Phase of the Question
A certain female woman no longer basking
in single blbasedness because upon a certain
occasion she had been married to a manonce
upon a time called upon a certain unsophis-
ticated and uninitiated pawnbroker and rep-
resented that her finances were at an exceed
ing low ebb: in fact it afterwards trans-
pired they did net ebb at all and represented
to her uncle that of the whole family it was
p ain to be seen that notwithstanding the
many drawbacks and other incidents con-
nected with her financial condition
prior to the period at which she had
first entered the domain occupied
and then held as her rightful and lawful in-
heritance under the wise and useful home-
stead law of Texas she had on many and
numerous occas ons endeavored to have a
change made in the pornujus ponderosity of
the mayor and tailingTn this she c’earlv
showed the court that the man who bad
sworn out the affidavit (her husband) had ac-
customed himself to practice pestiverous pro-
fanity and bombast and bad on other occa-
sions shown a real lack of spiritualized ideal-
ity to the extent of going to bew without re
moving his boots and spurs against which
the petitioner has sued out a warrant for de-
famation of character and was now
consulting Uncle Emerson with a
view to raise money wherewith to
forestall the District Attorney and
such other officers of the court as might be in
league with the unfair and hard-hearted de-
fendant. She then bought a fine pair of soli-
taire diamond ear-rings a gold watch a
Waterbury clock from Uncle Jess and after-
ward a second-hand sewing machine and left
for home fully determined that in future
whenever she got into a tight place she would
go straight to Uncle Jesse ror advice and
financial tonic!
The Only Impediment.
A young man desired to get married. He
had a snug house and a thousand dollars in
the bank. He asked the young lad'ys father
and mother and gained their consent. Every-
thing went smoothly and if it bad not been
for a slight obstacle they would have been
happily and securely joined together. What
was the reason? you ask. Simply this: the
young lady refused: so he poor chap was In
a quandary what to do. so finally be thought
of a plan. He went to Uncle Emerson on Sole-
dad street and bought adiamond ring for half
price and that made her better
oatured and then he bought an
elegant little solid gold watch for-
merly owned by a wealthy widow on Ave.
C and th<s capped the climax and now they
are one flesh. Go to Uncle Emerson when
you’re In trouble or if you want money or
to get married or to buy a bargain. Next to

Deepwater atCorpus Cara
The Steam Dredge ‘ Josephine” More Than Half Way
to the Gulf!
:o:
nno C Q DA Q 0 From Corpus Christi Bay directly into the
nUI LU I iiUy deep water of the Gulf of Mexico is be-
ing dredged night and day the work being prosecuted 20 hours a
day. It will be cut to a depth of THIRTY FEET and admit the
HEAVIEST SHIPS.
It will be supplemented by stone jetties if necessary. It has
the best tidal basin on the entire Gulf Coast west of Mobile. Cor-
pus Christi Bay is the deepest Bay West of .Mobile. Its deep waters
lie CLOSE TO ROPES PASS. it will receive and discharge more
water with each tide than any "Bay on the Coast.
Mors Wdf Will "Snr” Thro® Roms Pass
with each tide than through any pass west of the Mississippi.
THIS IS WHAT PRODUCES AND MAINTAINS DEEP WATER
ACROSS ANY SANDBAR. The more water passing through a
Pass the more “scour” and the DEEPER WATER across the bar
if properly directed.
NO BAR EXISTS in front of Ropes Pass. Should one ever
form we shall build jetties across it just as is now being done at
ALL OTHER PASSES. A jetty at ROPES PASS will give deeper
water than one at any other Pass simply because MORE WATER
will be received and discharged through it WITH EVERY TIDE
than is received or discharged through any other Pass. Indeed
WHATEVER results can be obtained with jetties or any other en
gineering appliances at any other Pass will be SURPASSED AT
ROPES PASS by similar appliances because they will have a
GREATER VOLUME OF WATER ACTING WITH THEM. A
jetty which will maintain 30 feet at ANY OTHER PASS must there-
fore maintain MORE THAN 30 feet here.
Corpus Christi is bound to have the
DEEPEST WTEB ON TBEBOLF COAST.
In addition to deep water we have at Corpus Christi the richest
farm and garden lands extending miles inte the interior. Our plant-
ers raise one bale of cotton to the acre and not uncommonly more.
TT I On we have the most beautiful situation overlooking Corpus
M I AON Christi Bays. “The Cliffs” rise 40 feet out of the Bay and
‘ 1 U command a charming view. They nave an “Ocean Drive’’ 12 )
feet wide; a grand double boulevard 200 feet wide; a steam rapid transit
railway; a seaside camp meeting ground covering 101 acres with tabernacle
seating 5000 people now building; a sea-side park three miles long with a
$lOOO 0 hotel now building in it; other hotels projected; sailing saltwater
baihhig fishing crabbing tarpon fishing refreshing aea breezesthe coolest
summer the mildest winter weather and the
Best HeaJLtli Record
Of any city in the Southwest. Green sea-turtle are abundant in season.
Corpus Christi oysters have a reputation throughout the entire Southwest.
In winter the bays and ponds abound with ducks and geese while in the
spring and autumn the prairies are covered with quail and plover and sea-
shore with snipe.
A'HINT: You can buy a lovely sen side home on “The Cliffs” much
cheaper now t an you can a few montns later! The same is true of choice
farm and garden tracts.
