FRIDAY JAUNARY 19 1894
San Antonio schools are flourish-
ing and some of the supervising
methods introduced into the work
of the grades cannot but result ad-
vantageously. The schools should
be freed from all connection with
the municipal government of the
city by being put under the con-
trol of a board of education fleeted
directly by the people for that pur-
pose. The schools will be more
efficient and the management of
them more independent of political
complications than they can pos-
sibly be as at present.
When the Galveston News ad-
vises young men to go through the
world instead of going round it it
unfortunately neglects to lay out
the route. There is many a one
who has taken the advice of the
News and found out to his sorrow
that instead of going through the
world the world as well as the
flesh and the devil has gone
through him. Such advice is al-
ways loaded and should be handled
with care.
If there is no law in Florida that
will prevent a prize fight then
Mitchell as th i administrator of
law should submit to the situa-
tion and remedy the defect by call-
ing the attention of the Legislature
of the state to it and recommend-
ing legislation to cover the point.
As chief executive of the state he
sets a poor example by trying to
create a law for the accomplish-
ment of a purpose no matter how
praiseworthy that purpose may be.
The Light has been and now is
an advocate of an efficient system
of sewerage for this city but a
very casual observation only is
needed to show that the most
pressing want is a system of sur-
face drainage. There is no need of
waiting for a system of sewers to
be built before providing for sueh
surface drainage as will prevent
the water standing on the princi-
pal corners after every shower.
Paschal will get the thanks of
southwest Texas for his free graz-
ing bill; and he will get the curses
of the same section for his free wool
advocacy. Honors are not easy
for curses are always louder and
longer lived than blessings. Pas-
chal’s head will be in the basket
after next deal.
The true southern Republican
policy is to so act as to give the
strongest support to the party In
the national contest in those doubt-
ful states where the ballance of
jiower Is held by the colored Re-
publicans. Anything else than
this will be political suicide.
This government is not of the
stand and deliver kind its deliver-
ances demonstrate that and it is
not going to deliver at the demand
of Senator Vest. For its eagerness
to deliver the industries of this
country bound hand and foot to
the English factors the voters of
the Nation will deliver themselves
out of its destructive hand at the
next election.
The man who plants fruit trees
in this section now if he plants
wisely is planting pleasure for
the fruit eater of the fu-
ture and profit as well for those
who inherit the results of his
work.
The Light congratulates the
city street department on those
“back-woods” cross walks that it
has pegged down on Alamo street.
They will be out of sight in mud
whenever the sprinkler passes.
Hill and Murphy are still on
deck in the National Senate and
Hornblower will not be in it the
last time any more than he was
the first. Cleveland had better re-
concile himself to the is to be.
The Democrats of Texas know
what they want to do with the
Populists and the Republicans but
they would pay a premium to the
fellow who would tell them what
to do with each other.
Those tariff amendments are a
delusion and a snare. The pro-
gram is arranged to shut off all
possible chance of Republican
members of the committee pre-
senting amendments.
The moralists of the Democratic
party may ridicule the spoils’ ap-
petite that is developed by the
Missouri delegates in Congress
but that appetite is the one bond
of Democratic union.
The Republican National com-
mittee decide wisely in refusing to
even talk about presidential possi-
bilities at this stage of the game.
Now is the time to bring the
state forces into line.
There is nothing in Texas for the
Republicans to split their forces
over and they should devote their
energies to making capital out of
the split that is in the ranks of the
other fellows.
The issue of bonds by Secretary
Carlisle after all that the De-
mocracy has said on that subject
emphasizes the fact that Demo-
cratic promises are only made to
catch votes.
There is no certainty that either
the tariff bill or the measure for
the repeal of the state bank tax
will pass Congress and become a
law. The Senate is in the way of
both.
Queen Victoria is the longest and
the broadest sovereign in the civil-
ized world. Longest in the duration
of her reign and broadest in the
throne room that she requires.
Carlisle has the sympathies of
the country in his endeavor to
make bricks while Congress has
denied him the requisite clay. It
furnishes him water only.
There is no “lasting and perma-
nent” agreement between the Re-
publicans in this state and any
branch of the state Democracy.
This is official and it goes.
Queen Lil is not loafing around
the door stone of regret but will
proceed to feather her nest in any
way that may please the provision-
al government.
What Reagen wants is the con-
tinuation of his salary and the
job that insures that with the
least labor will be the most accep-
table.
Those Central American repub-
lics are the political hornet’s nest
of this hemisphere. Mexico should
plug up the nests and fire them.
There is nothing of the old soak
about southwest Texas but her
fertile soil would rejoice in a gener-
al and generous soaking.
It will be a race between the
Mitchells for the flighting ground
with the odds in favor of the gov-
ernor.
This Congress is imitating the
fool farmer in the fable who killed
the goose which laid him golden
eggs.
One more week and the case of
Mitchell versus Mitchell will be
settled to the comfort of the coun-
try.
A greater man than Cleveland
has taken that Hawaiian matter
out of his hands. Dole has settled
It.
The grass grows green and the
lieaches bloom and sly Jack Frost
winks his eye and bides his time.
What Peixoto and Mello do not
know about that Brazilian war
would make a large volume.
This “let us do evil that good
may come” doctrine of Florida
Mitchell is not a healthy one.
