WE learn with considerable regret that
some thoughtless persons at Prairie Lea sus-
pended figure labeled Lynch at that place
a few nights ago. This is all wrong. mas
much as Mr., Lynch is good, upright citi-
zen and highly esteemed, as his vote in this
county showed. We opposed his candidacy,
but personally we have nothing against him,
and we are truly sorry that this attempt to
cast odium upon him should have occurred.
-Luling Signal.
The outrage above recorded is simply in
famous, and should consign it's perpetrators
to deep disgrace. The idea that man is to
be hung in efigy because he presumes to
exercise the rights of an American citizen to
think and act as his judgment and con-
science dictate, is at war with every princi-
pie of liberty and genuine democracy. Mr..
Lynchs majority in his own county is 1882
That demonstrates the estimation in which
he is held by those who know him best
And we venture to say that if this hanging
in effigy had occurred before the election,
and the fact had time to become we'll known.
he would have received a majority in every
county in the district. The time has past
in this country for political as well as reli-
gious popery.

sCOvILLE-S DEFENSE.

Yesterday the Guitsau trial had
reached the turn of Mr.. Scovllle to put
in defense. for his unsavory client.
The telegraphic account of this speech
is very meagre, but it bears the marks
of manliness and careful thought; he
disclaimed all attempts at oratory, and
commented upon the different coloring
given by counsel on either side to the
same set of facts, and proceeded to
show how unfair, partial and dishonest
Davidge's comments had been. Sco-
vile said: Il don't care to complain,
although l don't think, as counsel in
the conduct of this case, have been
treated with fairness, personally. /
care nothing for it; but when it Injuries
the case in which my efforts are en-.
listed, then l must complain" He
then commented severely upon Por-
ter's reading OF Judge DAVIS decision
and declared that he should not re-
main silent if Judge Porter perverted
the evidence as Davidge did, but should
stop him. Guiteau shouted: $50
shall l." Scoville, continuing: II shall
stop him and correct him if he is mis-.
taken in the evidence" Guiteau again:
"Never mind, I'll attend to him."
Judge Porter inteIected: There will
be two Guiteau's to attend to me-"
Mr.. Scoville proceeded to review,
at some length, Mr.. Davidge's argu-
ment. and stated that the iron rule, as
laid down by him, would hang four
fifths of the insane criminals in the
country. Scovilles effort was the best
that could be made under the circum-
stances.
The case is likely to last a day
longer.

Commerce of Eagle Pass.

EAGLE fASS, an. IL, 1902.
Editors EVENING LIGHT:
Through the kindness of E. Buchul,
ESQ.,, deputy collector at this port, and
Mr.. Schuhardt, our consul at Piedras
Negras, l am enabled to lay before
your readers the following items:
Value Of declared imports to Eagle
Pass from Mexico, for the six. months
ending December 81, 1881, $75,567,
including 3,113 head of cattle, 333
head of horses, 1891 head of sheep,
45,576 pounds of hides, 1o,S6S pounds
of goat skins, Il, ao3 bushels of corn,
1904 bushels of beans, 1,474 bushels
of corn meal, 1883 pounds Of wool,
1894 pounds of piloncillos.
Exports to Piedras Negras, for
the year ending September 80,
1851, are estimated at $256,697,
including 1,622 bales of cotton against
1864 for the preceding year, a falling
off due to increased railroad facilities
for transportation via Laredo.
An extraction or export duty of $I.25
per head is levied on female cattle and
mares; also 1880 per head on ewes.
Corn is selling at SITS to $a.oo
(Mexican money! per fanega of three
bushels in Piedras Negras.
A steam glist mill would be profit
able investment at this place. Coal of
suitable quality for fuel is found a few
miles above Eagle Pass.
A well-stocked lumber yard would al
so pay; there is no lumber, worth men,
tioning, in the place, several buildings
are being erected, the price of lots has
an upward tendency, we are getting
new stocks of merchandise, with new
merchants. new lawyers and new doc
tors, the railroad is graded to the town
and we expect the iron horse in a
month or two. In fact, though no
boom existed here, except in the wild
imagination of the Express cores
pondents, the people of Eagle Pass
were happy and hopeful, when sudden
ly our horizon was darkened by the
huge, unwieldy form of the great, in
evitable Greedy No. 2. A general exo-
dus of our best citizens took place. All
the hotels, except one, and several of
the principal restaurants closed up.
Greedy has been boring the detected
remnant of our population for points,
and his eliminating atrocity of an in
ternatlonal, inter-oceanic and oriental
watermelon rancho precipitated an in
dignation meeting. Greedy leaves early
tomorrow. His idea of floating un-'
told acres of watermelons down the
Rio Grande was rich. COURT.

INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.

That a strong independent move
ment is on foot in Texas and is gaining
strength daily, must be evident to every
one who pays any attention to the drift
of public opinion.
This amendment can be said to be
rather one-sided at present, as its origin
is within the ranks of the so-called
democratic party. Like the leash
balance" the zone hundred thousand
democratic majority" has worked its
own condemnation. There is not a
democratic editor in the state, who pos
sesses thimbleful of brains, that has
the hardihood to claim the Zone hum
dred thousand majority as a compli-
ment to the intelligence or patriotism
Of the people of Texas. On the con-
trary, all thinking men look
upon the democratic majority as
hideous monster that it would
be a blessing to destroy. A nomiua-
ton, no matter how unworthy the NOM
inee, is equivalent to an election, so
that the democratic convention, and
not the ballot box, is the abiter of the
peoples destiny.
The ruins of the San Jose mission
church, that had stood in its strength of
stone and masonry for more than
century, fell IN a mass of broken
stone and cement, suddenly, on calm
and starlight night. Its perfect arches
crumbled to atoms. A drop Of rain
had loosened grain of sand and un-
seen, and unnoticed the work of disin.
tregation went on, until the mighty
crash came. So it is with the demo-
cratic party of Texas, it will fall to
pieces-not in a storm, but by reason
of the silent work of disintregation that
has been going on, loosening the ele-
ments of which it is composed.
The democratic party is composed
of incongruous elements drawn to.
gether by cause that has disappeared
and under a pressure that has been
removed; there are thousands of men
who have affiliated with the democ-
racy who have no sympathy with its
tenets, and who now chafe under the
political slavery they are subjected to;
there are thousands of young men who
grew into the democratic party, but
who are anxious to renounce its con-
troll, there are thousands who are con-
vlnced that the democratic party has
outlived its usefulness. And Texas is
growing so rapidly that it is outgrow-
ing its old prejudices and leaving be-
hind the old set with the prejudices.
Texas is a big state, and its political
ambition has outgrown the democratic
party.
The republicans form splendid
voting strength in the state, and upon
their good sense and patriotism
much depends in this independent
movement.
Party names are insignifcant-it is
the accomplishment of great benefits
that justiffes party organization. and
the republicans, without breaking
ranks, or changing commanders, can
throw their forces solidly against
bourbonism, no matter by what name
the movement may be called. {.

Transient Troubles.

Most of us haze Lad troubles all our
lives, and each day has brought all the
evil that we wished to endure. But if
we were asked to recount the sorrows OF
our lives, how many could we remem-
Der? How many that are six months
old should we think worthy to be re-
membered or mentioned2 To-days
troubles look large, but Il week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out OF
sight.
If you would keep a book, and cv'
cry day put down the things that worry
you, and see what becomes Of them, il
would be II benefit to you. You allow
a thing to annoy you, just as you ALLOW
a fly to settle on you and plague you
and you lose your temper Cor rather gel
| it; for when men are surcharged witt
temper they are said to have lost it !.
and you justify yourselves for beinl
thrown Off your balance by causes whici
you do not trace out. But if you woul'
see what it was that threw you off you
balance before breakfast, and put i
down in little book, and follow it out
and ascertain what becomes Of it, yoI
would see what II fool you were in til
matter"
The art of forgetting is n blessed art
but the art of overlooking is quite as i'm
portant. And If we should take tim
to write down the origin, progress, am
outcome Of few Of our troubles,
would make US so ashamed of the fus
we make over them, that we should b
glad to drop such things and bury thel
at once in eternal fOrgetfulness.
Life il too short to be worn out
petty worries, frettings, hatreds, an
vexations Let us Danish all these, an
think on whatsoever things are pul
, ard lovely and gentle, and of good r
port.
