THEY ARE TRUE AMERICANS.
Reading in its fragmentary condi-
tion the story of that awful horror
in San Francisco one is particularly
struck with one unnoted feature of
the case and that is the heroism of
the news gatherers and the Associated
Press agents and the operators of
the telegraph lines. Burned out in
one place they set up temporary
stands in another driven by smoke
and flame out of buildings and com-
paratively safe quarters they sat
among the ruins. ruins of palatial
structures costing millions and the
debris of China town their knees
their desks and their inspiration the
indomitable and heroic spirit of their
craft. The full story of their heroism
will never be told nor the thousands
of acts oflcourage and self sacrifice
that the fearful destructions of that
earthquake and that conflagration
made occasion tor. It is all too early
to attempt to even tell the tale of that I
cataclysm that destroyed one of the
fairest cities of the American con'l-
nent at one fell swoop but there al- ।
ready shines through the lurid glare .
of that conflagration and sounds
fbove the roar of tumbling structures
the light and the cheerfulness of a
courage invincible. The world stands
aghast at the awful ruin wrought in
beautiful San Francisco. Her tem-
ples of trade and art and education
and her towering news offices her
churches and her universities and her
asylums and her hospitals are all in
one red ruin blent. Anything that
lights up this blackness with a ray
of light is doubly welcome and it is
shown forth in the splendid courage
of the people in their calamity and
particularly in the heroic and self
forgetting efforts of the men of the !
press in their attempts to give to the
world the best possible impression of
the awful destruction that had visited
their great city. There is not one i
> pessimistic note in all this record. ।
These men are Americans that city
was an American city and it has the
sublime courage and invincible spirit
of true United States.
Missouri is in earnest in going for
those lynchers at Springfield and she
owes it to herself to see that they
are reckoned with. That lynching was
a pure case of assassination.
Tabor Is not satisfied with the con-
clusions of his brother health officers
and Texas is not always satisfied
with Tabor either. There is a world
of uncertainty in a state quarantine.
The Light is anonymously request-
ed to look up the Missouri record of
T. B. Ixive. formerly of Missouri and
row of Dallas who is said to be slat-
ed for speaker of the next Texas leg-
islature and who is alleged to have
a Missouri record. The Light is not
hunting holes in Democratic records
for the benefit of anonymous critics.
The Light has no interest in the
• next speakership of the Texas house
of representatives The Light has no
acquaintance with Mr Love. The
Light is not interfering with the acts
of the Democratic legislature of Tex-
as. believing that body is foreordain-
ed to work evil to the state of Texas
and that continually and confident that
nothing The Light could say to warn
that legislature against anything
would be of any use.
1 Is this state ready for a railroad
fare of two and a half cents on her
treat stretch of roads through re-
gions sparsely settled? The commis-
sion should go slow on that proposi-
tion.
Austin is going to have a shoot
next week not the delightful shoot of
young ideas but a state shoot to im-
prove her marksmen.
Wire pulling for the place in which
to hold the Democratic slate conven-
tion this year is in order and Dallas
is out for the meeting.
RAILWAY TO KEY WEST.
One of the most Itneresting articles
lately published Is that In the
nlcal World giving the |<articulani of
the railroad that Henry M. Flagler
multi millionaire and railroad king cf
Florida is proj ctlug from the south-
ern terminus of his road in Florida to
Key West. It |e in hand to extend that
railroad over the keys that reach south
from the main land of the United
States to Key West and there con-
nect with an immense steam ferry that
will land the cars of the new construc-
tion in Havana without changing seats
by the occupants. The line has been
already surveyed. The depth of wa-
ler on the keys and between them
charted the nature of the formation
on which the arches for the deep wa-
। ter constructions are to rest ascer-
-1 tained. There will be five miles of
solid concrete arches with openings
In some of them for the passage of
vessels and there will be ten times
five miles of rock and earth embank-
ments over which the solid trains of
the Southern railroad will pass to
their termination nt Key West. This
will bring the railroad travel of the
United States within four houis of
Havana and place the United States
i military and naval forces in an ad-
.' vanced position over anything yet
reached to command the southern
; seas between the two American conti-
nents. No more stupendous undertak-
ing has been announced in a month
of leap years and that It Is practical is
assured by the fact that Flagler is go-
ing to put his millions in it. It is not
likely that the line will be used for
heavy freights but for express and
rapid freights and passenger traffic it
will have the call over anything that
could possibly compete with it unless
11 was an a|r ship. Concrete the new
material that is so rapidly taking the i
place of brick and stone nnd proving
superior to both is to enter largely in- ■
to the arch constructions. Already the
work has taken form and Mr. Flagler
expects within three years to be able
to land his Pullman car In
Havana without a change of cars.
The reports that come from the rain
sections visited Monday night are
most encouraging and farmers are
greatly elated at prospects.
Texas did not figure very heavily
in her outcome of the fight she made
against federal quarantine.
There is nothing that is so exqui-
site in every relation of life as that
true courtesy which considers every
wan entitled to be received on his face
as a gentleman until he demonstrates
the contrary. It pays in social life
it pays b|g in business life. It pans
out Al in politics and if there is a
department in life where it does not
pay it has not yet been reported.
San Antonio has nothing to pride
herself on in the recent murders
committed in this city. Notoriety of
this kind she is more than willing to '
confer on her sister cities but it is
cut of place in this beautiful place. ।
where all that delights the eye and
ministers to the pleasures of living
are in such profusion. The Light sug-
gests that in future those who medi-
tate murder hereabouts go-outside of
the city limits and thus lift the
curse from the old Alamo city. Have
some respect for the shades of Tra-
vis and Bowie and Milam and Crock-
ettt.
San Antonio is not greedy and only
asks what all reasoanhle minds would
grant her during carnival week and
that is pleasant weather. The old city
is ready to do her share provide the
amusements and the hotels and board-
ing houses for the crowds hut she
has no authority over the weather
clerk. It does seem that this one
week in the spring dedicated to the
amusements that are needed to lighten
the heart of care might also be de-
voted to sunshine and that halmy at-
mosphere this clfy so generally revels
in. But if we must weep we will
smile through our tears.
Russia is not seriously threatened
with a constitutional monarchy and
if she gets a constitution of any kind
it will be such a one as the czar feels
minded to give her. and it will not be
wrested from him as the great char-
ter of England was wrested from
John by the barons. The elections
show that the people want a consti-
tutional government but the oath
that the members elect will take will
confirm the autocracy of the czar. To
kick against that will be to spoil the
whole business and jiosstbly plunge
Russia at once into a great revolu-
tion.

There is a split in the state railroad ’
commission over the two and a half j
cents a mile fare. The origl'kd inten
tion was to make it only applicable
to one road and now It is ’Wished out
to cover all the railroads iulibe state.

est of the Greek Letter societies hav-
ing forty chapters in colleges and uni-
versities from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific; twenty-five alumni associations
and an active membership of about
10000 which is constantly increasing.
The fraternity was founded at what

burg. Pa. by W. H. Uatherman and
C. P. T. Moore on February 19 1851.
Judge Moore one of the founders. Is
still living near Elwell W. Va. He

Nearly seven hundred out of a total
membership of one thousand fought in

some for the Confederacy. The early
growth of the organization was large-
ly In the South where ten chapters
were wiped out by the war. Among

many men of prominence in various
lines of activity. About five hundred
are educators some of them men ot
national reputation. More than fifty
