WED’SDAY DECEMBER 18 ’95
Tom Raed is more dignified and
cautious and less aggressive in his
chair this session of congress than
in that other une in which he im-
mortalized himself and gathered
his laurels. The honors of a presi-
dential candidacy are upon him
and he feels it down to the toes of
his brogans.
The cold has come down upon
that Atlantic coast region like de-
struction upon the democratic
party in a night. The weather
clerk is also threatening this re-
gion but San Antonio never be-
lieves in the possibility of cold
weather until the frost is in the
air and the norther is howling
around the corner where the shorn
lamb has forgotton to hang him-
self out.
There will be more red hot
monkey work in the next republi-
can national convention than has
been noticed since the old guard
would not die nor surrender and so
tried to block the nomination.
Conkling’s old lieutenant will try
and take a leading part in the
shindy.
Quarantine orders issue against
the importation of any live stock
into the United States from South
America. Now let the ukase issue
against any live stock or meat pro-
ducts from the Australias and
there will be a broader and more
solid smile on the faces of the
Texas cattlemen.
Honolulu papers of the date of
December 6 are laid on the Light
table by the courtesy of Judge
Clifford. The items of island and
Australian news are very interest-
ing and the reporters catch ou
there just as they do in breezy
balmy blessed Sanantone.
The pious papers of New Yojk
are twisting the tail of Terrell’s
mule most unmercifully because
its master has not ridden all over
Turkey a la Don Qulxoto tilting
at every moslem windmill. Terrell
has not been unmindful of the con-1
ditions in Turkey and his efforts
in behalf of those misguided mis-
sionaries have been neither few
nor small. His mule deserves
praise instead of the pillory.
Eastern papers report the weather
colder in New York the last few
days than at any time for the past
twenty-five years. This is evi-
dently a whopper but then
there is no doubt that the cold was
pinching and the winds something
terrlftlc. Of these things we know
nothing in this balmy clime.

Retrenchment and reform are
the catchwords of all parties.
There does not appear to be any
realizing sense of the fact that re-
trenchment is the real reform.
There is nothing under the sun
will so exactly fit into the seams
of hard times as a good all round
rag of retrenchment.
The Cuban insurgents are mak-
ing no friends at home or abroad
bj’ their policy of Incendiarism. It
is not the destruction of the indus-
tries of Cuba that her people
should aim at but the destruction
of a system of government that
puts all of her life in pawn to Span-
ish exactions and taxes.
There is little or no sympathy in
Texas for the trusts. What is need-
ed however is a judicious discrim-
ination between a trust and a legit-
mate association for business re-
sults. War upon the former or
what is designed for such war is
too frequently made upon the
other.
Bayard is beginning to deny
some of the allegations that are
made against him at the court of
British idea and opinions. Bayard
is despised at home for his fool
utterances abroad and abroad he
is writted down as the long eared
hybrid of diplomacy. Not very
pleasant either way.
The holiday excursion gets the
travel. In time the regular fares
will come down a peg or two and
then the travel will increase. Two
cents a mile on the trunk roads
will be about the figure after this
century closes and at that rate the
railroads of Texas will make more
hauling people than at present
rates. The magnificent distances
of this state and the sparsley set-
tled sections through which the
roads run are a heavy weight on
railway profits and serve to keep
freights up.
The friends of Allison and Mor-
ton and Harrison are expecting to
stand back when the first contest
comes in the national convention
and then get in their work when
Reed and McKinley have tired
each other out. What the result
of a waiting race may be depends
so largely upon the good judgment
of the jockey that it is idle to
speculate on the finish until he
calls on his nag for keeps.
The weather prophets and the
end-of-the-world prophets can
shake dice for the belt the contest
being as to which of them can miss
it oftenest.
There is no doubt that the
United States sheepfolds and their
owners are going to receive all the
consideration at the hands of the
present congress that Cleveland
will permit.
Beeville will blossom all over at
her winter fair which opens there
on the day after Christmas.
The American missionaries in [
Turkey are under the protection of.
the troops but the Armenians who
have taken arms against their op-I
pressors are in danger of extermi-
nation.
The festive turkeys are roosting
high but within a week they will
be tumbling to the racket.
The weather clerk has forecast
Christmas at least a week. This
balmy weathershould have been re-
served to welcome Santa Claus with.
He does get terribly tired of those <
arctic blizzards.
There is not a reason that will'
hold water why you should not i
make your subscription for that'
San Antonio cotton mill as a Chris-
mas present to the future indus-
trial prosperity of this city.
Complaidt is made that the
Spanish minister in Washington
| is engineering a news bureau of his
own where he doctors all the dis-
patches from Cuba before he’gives
out any information to the public.
Congress seems to have taken a
fit to speak its mind judging from
the manner in which members
haul over the coals the heads of
departments and the foreign min-
isters.
Dan Stuart is in it again. If
when done it were done forever
then ’twere well it were done quick-
ly.
It is to be hoped that some of
these days the truth will be known
about Armenia and Cuba. Such
knowledge at present is wonder-
ful entirely too high for the ordi-
nary correspondent to attain unto.
£N ROUTE TO MEXICO.
Ex-Governor Brown of Kentucky
Passed Through Yesterday.
A party of distinguished Ken-
tuckians passed through San An-
tonio over the Southern Pacific
yesterday afternoon en route to
the City of Mexico.
The party occupied a Louisville
and Nashville private car and
consisted of Hen. John Young
Brown ox-governor of Kentucky
Charles B. Poyntz of Mays-
ville and Urey Woodson
of Owensboro both railroad
commissioners of Kentucky Mr.
I Woodson also being proprietor of
!»•<« Gw —*'n P o Daily Messenger;
Lloyd Watson >f Maysville W..E.
»»....eK Alsopof Owens-
boro and Wilber F. Browder dis-
trict attorney for the Louisville
and Nashville railroad headquar-
ters at Russellville Ky.
The party was at dinner when
the train arrived here and while so
engaged was called upon by a
Light representative who was re-
received most welcomely by the
governor and the other gentlemen.
The scribe was invited to take din-
ner with the party and given a
seat next to Kentucky’s former
chief magistrate but as the train
only stopped a few minutes the re-
porter had to cut his meal short
or miss an issue of the Light and
take chances on his bicycle which
was on the depot platform wait-
ing for him.
While the reporter gulped down
several mouthfuls of fine red snap-
per he fired questions in rapid suc-
cession at the Kentucky governor.
The latter answered them as bist
he could with the exception of
those bearing on politics. He said
his term of office has just expired
and his friends prepared this trip
for him for recreation. He said he
is going to the City of Mexico
where he will meet his
friend General Crittenden. He
said he has not retired from the
political field but for the present
he is out for pleasure and regard-
ing his future plane be said he has
not yet prepared them.
It is the governor’s first trip
down this way and be seems to
enjoy it immensely. He is looking
well as is also the balance of the
party. They will remain in Mex-
ico about three weeks and return
by way of El Paso New Mexico
and Colorado.

One of the Wards Dead.
Middletown Conn. Dec. 18.—
Henry A. D. Ward a lineal de-
scendant of Gen. Artemus Ward is
dead. He was a graduate of the
Yale class of ’42 and of the Har-
vard law school. He formerly
lived in Detroit where he was en-
gaged in lake navigation owning
many vessels. He returned to
Connecticut in 1864 and since then
has been engaged in literary work.
He was 74 years old and unmarried.
IT MAY DO AS MUCH FOB YOU.
Mr. Fred Miller of Irving 111.
writes that he had a Severe Kidney
trouble for many years with severe
pains in the back and also that his
bladder was affected. He tried
many so-called Kidney cures but
without any good result. About a
year ago he began use of Eloctric
Bitters and found relief at once.
Electric Bitters is especially adapt-
ed to cure of all Kidney and Liver
troubles and often gives almost in-
stant relief. One trial will prove
our statement. Price 50« and $l.OO.

The Sewer
The eighth sewer estimate is
ready for the auditor with the ex-
ception of the figuring up of the
amount due on the classification
of the contested excavation of dirt
|or rock in the trenches on River
avenue. This awaits Engineer
Gray’s decision on bis return from
the City of Mexico. If he decides
' it as rock it will make a difference
of very nearly $4000 in favor of the
contractors. The aggregate of the
entire estimate will be nearly $20-
1000 the largest yet made upon the
sewer work. The big siphon on
Navarro street takes up $4500 of
this.
Mr. Gray is expected to return on
Thursday.
