EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THE LIGHT is thoroughly independent
newspaper-it is entirely free in its a. ton, and
in dealing with city affairs will please its own
sweet self.
ORDER No. 80 is the order of the day in
Massachusetts. Let the chivalry throw up
their hats and shout for Ben Butler for Presi-
dent in 1884.
THE Galveston News attributes Ireland's
prospective defeat to the "sins of omission
and commission that cluster pretty thick
around the present state Administration"
NAT Q. HENDERSON got beaten for the
legislature and now he is down on all sorts of
trading and advocates straight party nomina-
tons. Nat takes his consolation in hurrahing
for Hancock.
"JuDGE Ireland's majority in the state will
not exceed $1,000, and may 90 considerably
under that figure. "-Galveston News OF 18th.
Yes, it may 60 under entirely, and you have
proved a false prophet, along with the other
bourbon sheets in the state.
JUDGE IRELAND is the recipient Of good
deal of fatherly advice Just now as to how he
shall run his Office, so as to retrieve the good
opinion of the people. If the Judge gets in,
question not yet decided, we advise him to
kick his ladder from under him.
THE Galveston News regards Hancock's
victory in this district as a tariff-for-revenue-
only triumph. All right, We are willing it
should be so. But We know the man so well
that we are willing to bet that he will betray
the democracy, if he can make by it.
&c. CLAIBoURNE, head porter in P. ].
Willis store in Galveston, and chairman of
democratic committee, is mad because the
merchants of that city did not dance to his
music. He had better stay at home next time
instead of coming to San Antonio and advising
our people who to vote for.
THK Austin Statesman lacks much of being
happy. 1t wants change in its city govern
ment. 1t says:
"Next November we will clean out this
sham of a city government, and succeed it
with one which will legisate for the benefit of
Austin-not live officially simply to draw
pay"
We believe it is a Hancock sort of admins
tration after all.

"The Two Republics" Of the City of Mexico.
10 the issue of the 9Th we find the following
local in regard to the races:
Crowds thronged the Peralyi,lo last Sunday

gorgeous and appropriate toilets.
The young wife of General Porfrio Di.z at.
