Manager San Antonio Light.
San Antonio Texas May 9 1895.
MONDAY. MARCH 22 1897.
The noose of the rapist hangs low
in Texas. This is according to the eter-
nal fitness.
That arbitration treaty lias been so
amended as not to disable the United
States.
The deficiency bill has had all items
for claims cut out and should be made
a law.
Reciprocity is the right bower of the
new tariff law and should be played
to win.
Beet sugar is not quite so fine an
article as the cane product but it Is
just as good.
There is no need of sending out of
this country $800000000 annually for
sweetning.
The Guadelupe river is drying up as
well as the San Antonio and the
springs that feed both.
Grass is green and so are the spring
crops but they all would be the bet-
ter for rain.
Texas Legislature has settled down
for a regular seige of $2 i>er diem
legislation.
Democrats in the House of National
Representatives do not want an early
vote on the tariff.
The early bird gets the worm and
the early tariff gets the revenue from
the importers.
Canada has a hot box over the new
tariff bill that has been submitted to
Congress.
Bailey is one of the Democrats who
has brains enough to read the hand-
writing on the wall.
Galveston has no right to complain
of what it cost Congress to run the
government. ’ That expensive city
costs the United States treasury mil-
lions every decade and it still costs.
There has been no flourish of trum-
pets over the relations existing be-
tween the new administration at
Washington and the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba but it is apparent that
Weyler is not committing American
citizens to prison that they may be
murdered as of old. It is gratifying to
read from day to day of American
prisoners released from Cuban dun-
geons. There is a difference between
having a real government that stands
for itself and respects Itself and de-
fends its own citizens everywhere
and a pitiable excuse for such a gov-
ernment.
What the end of this tremendous
outpouring of the accumulations of
last winter’s snows and the present
downpour of torrents of rain is going
to be in the lower Mississippi valley
can only be conjectured. It threatens
a repetition of some of the awful ca-
tastrophes that have occurred in the
valleys of India and China where the
levee system has done its unscientific
work. There is nothing that human
hands can do to stem such floods as
are now threatening the life and
property of the great Missouri and
Mississippi valleys from the Dakotas
and Minnesota to the gulf.
Fitzsimmons says that he will no
more enter the arena no more appear
before the public after his present re-
ceptions are over no more spar in
public . If he sticks to this it will not
be in vain that the state of Nevada
made a holy show of itself by becom-
ing the sponsor of a brutal battle be-
tween two grown men. But it will
not be forgotten that both Sullivan
and Corbett repudiated any farther
work in the ring at one time and now
where are they at?
The Democrats in Congress are be-
tween the devil and the deep sea on
the tariff question. Bailey and the
younger and more progressive of that
party will not fight protection as a
policy any longer and there threatens
to be a division in the Democratic
ranks when they Une up against the
new bill that will be the bone of con-
tention this month. The fact is that
the country demands full protection
and the young Democracy see it
Germany and Austria are not quite
certain that the law of international
interference justifies them in sending
troops into the interior of Crete and
the garrison that it is contemplated to
put on that island to knock out the
insurgents will have no German or
Austrian men in it. This is creditable
to these nations and Bismarck’s influ-
ence is seen in it.
Queen Olga of Greece is a patriotic
woman and when the representative
of Russia called-to pay his respects to
her majesty she was not at home to
him. St. Petersburg is not pleased at
the slight but it is no more than that
government has richly deserved at the
hand of Greece.
The determination of the adminis-
tration at Washington not to interfere
with the four year tenure of office by
postmasters is having a deterring
effect on the seekers for postoffices.
Ko applications will be even received
for places to fall vacant a year or
more hence.
Pingree is not as big a man in the
opinion of the Supreme court of Mihh-
igan as in his own.
The trouble has begun in the Upper
Mississippi and in the Missouri but
where will it end?
Symptoms at Washington
the Demacraey of the nation
ing from its attack of Bryan
Turkey declares vacant the office of
consul at Boston arrested for fraud
in tmst funds.
The blockade of the ports
is no longer a threat. The
is now in force.
Kentucky never did like too much
water in hers and she is thoroughly
disgusted now.
Switzerland railroads will soon be
controlled by the government Swit-
zerland is a small affair.
The tramp industry is to a great ex-
tent Involved in the question of re-
stricted immigration.
The Japs are fighting the sale and
use of opium in their country. It is a
sure killer.
The Yankees of the east cannot shut
out the Yankees of the west from con-
trolling Hawaii.
The debate on the tariff will be the
I one subject of political interest this
1 week.
Has any one heard the name of Chil-
ton lately. Texas once had a senator
by that name.
No one goes to the United States
Senate from Texas without James
Hogg endorses bis papers.
Russia wants Turkey to whip Greece
Into her kennel and would willingly
help the matter along.
Bailey is from Texas. He repre-
sents his constituents in that he re-
fuses a free wool vote.
It takes the court a long while to
do its duty in the case of such fellows
as Jackson and Walling.
The return tide of prosperity has at
last come. Slowly at first but it
comes.
Large corps in Texas will not want
their regular market. Rain is all
wanting.
The melon and vegetable growers on
the coast want and will get cheap rail
freights.
Stewart of Nevada is opposed to
the arbitration treaty. He is opposed
to everything but Stewart..
The death losses from floods in Ar-
kansas are only guessed at. They num-
ber scores of victims.
It is all nonsense to talk of a four
months’ debate over tariff in the Sen-
ate.
Sixty days is ample time for the con-
clusion of the tariff debate in the
Huose of Lords.
There is not the least danger of any
revolution in the Democratic party
because McMillin was not selected to
lead the hosts of the party to their
legitimate defeat in Congress.
The assignment bill is dead and the
funeral of those who killed it is in
order.
It costs double what it really ought
to to run the government of this coun-
try.
Bi-partisan legislation marks the
whole course of that Greater New
York charter.
Mrs. Lease is preserving a silence
that would be very noteworthy in
young Mr. Bryan.
Queen Victoria does not smile at the
manner in which Salisbury lets loos
the dogs of war on the grand old isles
of which Byron sung and of which
her own grand-daughter is crown prin-
cess.
DANGERS OF THE GRIP.
The greatest danger of la grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea-
sonable care is used however and
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is ta-
ken all danger is avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe we have yet
to learn of a single case having resul-
ted in pneumonia which shows con-
clusively that this remedy is a certain
preventative of that dread disease. It
will effect a permanent cure in less
time than any other treatment. The
25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by all
druggists.
FROM SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Capt. Hal Abercrombie secretary of
the Hawaii Mill and Plant company
at Kohala Sandwich Islands was in
the city yesterday en route to New
York.
FROM CRIPPLE CREEK.
After the big fire in Cripple Creek
I took a very severe cold and tried
many remedies without help the cold
only becoming more settled. After
using threee small bottles of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy both the cold
and cough left me and in this high al-
titude it takes a meritorious cough
remedy to do any good.—G. B. Hen-
derson editor Daily Advertiser. For

W>eDta tn utilizing wind power farrier
brta lighting trouble has arisen from
Che variability of the wind and the re-

preesuTve. To overcome this difficulty
the sawmill shaft is now connected
with a speed equaliser which stores
energy mechanically and so oounter-
baJances the temporary subsiding of the
wind. The wind power after having
been converted into electric energy is
Vonducted to a system of storage bat-
