LUBBOCK is called 'the old war boss" Of

him to bob-tailed bull in fly time.

1t is really funny to witness the contortions
of our democratic contemporaries over reminis-
censes of the past. Times have changed since
1877, so far as John Ireland is concerned, no
doubt, and it is absolutely wicked to quote
Senator Coke on the peresent occasion, but as
to Davis and Jones, the food is not too distant
aperiod to refer to.
WOULD the Houston Post be kind enough
to explain whether it thinks Coke is running
for governor, or Ireland for the senate, or
what question at issue between two demo-
cratic politicians six or eight years ago has to
do with the question of who shall be COVER

the position Of the present candidates at that
time is to be considered now, what was Jones

If you want to keep a town from

Turn a cold shoulder to every mechanic

The session Of the Louisiana Leeis-
lsture, which closed on the 9th inst,
is recognized as ono of the most eff
eient and useful which has been held
in the state for many years. The
amount of business transacted was far
greater Than the average work of a leg
isiature of almost any state in the
Union. And all this work was done
within the time allowed for the dura-
tion of the session. Whatever may
have been. the canse of their industry,
the members of the Louisiana Begisla-
ture are to be congratulated upon what
they have done. If there were moth
ing else to mark the deficiency and good
sense of the Legislature, lis action in
regard 10 the state debt and that of
the city of New Orleans wonld alone
stand boldly out as proof Of the sagaei-
ty and business sense of its members.
They have saved the integrity and
honor of an almost bankrupt state and
thus laid the foundation of future
financial credit which viii insure pros
perity. All over thecountry the action
of the Louisiana Legislature has been
applauded.

Cliina's Real Condition

The London Times contains q letter from
Shanghai, in which the condition of China is
discussed with more than usual thoroughness
The letter concludes that China does not have
above 900, ooo, 900 inhabitants, and that the
empire has suffered vastly in men and money
during the last 50 years. The province of
Chekiang, for instance. still figures in some re-
ference books with 26:3 million inhabitants,
which was right in 1872, while a recent CEN
sus gives it H.57o,ooo people. The theory
that China proper, which includes Yunnan,
but excludes. Manchooria, Tibet and Corea,
has about 100000 600 inhabitants is appar-
emily borne out by all trustworthy information.
Thus the land tax gave the Peking govern
ment about 500, ooo, 900 in 1873, against $2s.-
600, 900 now. In order to meet current expen-
SEES the Peking officials have resorted to i'm
port duties and to the dangerous likin, or a
tax on goods transported from one provnce to
another. But the Peking government is poor,
and the people under it are poorer still. The
Tapping rebellion, poor crops and the lack OF
industrial enterprise has condemned the lar
ger part Of China to hopeless and ruinous pow
erty.

Californian ISLANDERS.
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. nth, 1882.

Editor LIGHT:
In your issue of Saturday you reprint a
letter published in the San Francisco Argonaut
upon "English girls of the day." As an
Englishman | ask your permission to correct
the misstatements and false impressions Of
that article written apparently by one who has
little or no knowledge of English affairs.
The statement that the Princess Louise and
the Princess Beatrice smoke cigarettes is a
falsehood, and if needs be will prove it to
be so.
The impression the article conveys Of Eng
ish girls is erroneous. They are as a rule
most modest and reserved, and the higher
you rise in society the more this
is apparent. There may be some
few who ape the manners OF
and use slang, mostly imbbed from brothers
who are collegians, but these are by far the
exception, but such instances are generally to
be found among the demi-monde, with whom
the Argonaut writer may have been more
familiar.
American ladies, even those of San Anto-
MO, are far more free in manners and CONVEX
ton than an average English lady, and there
is not. anything that strikes an Engishman
more forcibly than the free outspoken Ian
guage Of an American lady. hardly know
whether this can be praised or blamed 1t is
certainly novel experience for an English
man, but it is generally liked, because OF the
reserve with which our English lady is usually
enveloped, although decidedly proper" is
not always pleasant.
doubt much if the instance he cites has
any existence. During residence of twenty
five years in England never heard or read of
it, and such remarkable instance could not
be kept out of the "society papers"
