up the cost Of railroads. il a serious OBJ

Thurber's "No. 4I," mild and rich. One or
the other will suit the taste. They have the
three great points, good quality, honest guam

Resolutions Of Respect.


The following resolutions of respect were
passed by the Elm Creek land league, upon
the death Of James Calvin, and transmitted to
the LIGHT for publication:
WHEREAS, We learn Of the sudden death
of James Clavin, treasurer of the Bexar county
Land League, and this news shocks us to the
heart, and We regret our inability to have
helped him in his terrible suffering, and we
hereby offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, members of the Elm
Creek Land League, mourniully regret the
death of our friend, James Calvin, whose gen.
erous, courteous and friendly greeting we can
never in this world enjoy again, and that We,
each member and friend, do sympathze with
his children in their sorrowtul and irreparable
loss; and be it further
Resolved, That we believe that not only
has his children lost a good, kind and indui-
gent father-not only has the land league lost
a good and earnest member, but the country
has lost liberal-minded, kind-hearted man,
whose generosity knew no bounds, and whose
heart and soul swelled with enthusiasm to help
and assist those who are in need--those who
are down-trodden and oppressed. Ireland
has lost true friend, and the world has lost
an honest man in the death of James Clavin.

There is but one point to be settled
by the voter who is interested in the
two cent tax for colored schools: Are
we ready to destroy the common
school system Of the State The
fourteenth amendment 10 the Consti.
tuition Of the United States is inexor.
able, insuperable and paramount to
all State law. That amendment is
mandatory to the effect that provis.
ion shall be made by the State for the
education Of colored children equal 10
that made fors white. IL that is not
done, then the colored children can be
offered for admission in the white
schools, and If refused, the school au-
thorities are liable 10 the penalty Of
the law, which is both prompt and
severe. Now we have provided for
white children a per capita of about
one dollar and forty cents. The pro.
posed tax Of two cents on the one
hundred dollars will provide an equal
per capita for colored children, and
satisfy the demands of the law.
II this tax should fail 10 be ratified
in August by a majority vote at the
polls, then there will be but two al.
ternatives left, to.wit: TO receive the
colored children in the white schools,
or overturn the common school system
Of the State and do away with public
schools forever. These two alterna-
tives are before the people. Dema.
gogues 10 crafty personal prejudice or
attain a short.lived notoriety may be
willing to destroy the schools to spite
the negro, but wise and just men will
vote the tax as the cheapest and best
means of settling a question that will
inevitably give serious trouble within
the next six months, should the tax
fail TO carry by the people. Extrem.
lists of both parties will oppose the tax,
and restless colored men who aspire
to unlimited social equality with the
whites are now doing all in their pow
err 10 defeat il. Under such condi.
tons, can not the great conservative
body Of the two parties, who have
the good of the public schools and
the best interests of the colored race

Eoygf and Her Troubles

To get some good. square, reliable
knowledge of what Dictator Arab is
actually doing in the valley Of the
Nile, we need some other dispatches
than those sent from Alexandria,
which comes from a British source ex-
clusively. IL should be remembered
that of the 100000 population Of
Egypt proper, which means Upper
Egypt, Middle Egypt and Lower
Egypt, seven.eighths are Mohamme-
dams, and il is very probable that Die.
tator Arab has these churchmen very
well under control, since he can tell
them, with truth, that the English
have knocked to pieces Egypts great
maritime city, and are landing troops
10 make war on them. Besides the
Mohammedans Of Egypt proper, Ar
abb can exert his churchly influence
on the twelve millions Of natives in
Nubia. Darfour and the Soudan, and
ifthe English get on as slowly as they
have during the last two weeks, he
will have very good supply Of fight.
ing material, such as it is, moving
down the Nile valley and Eastward
toward the Suez canal. Arab has at
Cairo very excellent arsenal and
machine-shops to supply him with
war material, and as the Bedoween
furnish their own horses and ACQUIRE
ments he will only have to supply
them with fodder, and the children of
the desert are not very heavy eaters,
even if their horses are. Arab would
like 10 draw the British into the int.
rior, for in August the Nile reaches
its flood height, and by cutting EN-
bankments, if the rise reaches the max
imum of twenty FIVE feet, he can flood
the country in way TO embarrass an
invading force very seriously. The
months of August and September are
the unhealthy monthsin Lower Egypt,
and ophthalmia afflicts natives and
foreigners at all seasons, so the British
soldiers will have no dress parade.
The British are now landing troops at
Alexandria and Port Said, and a flee {
of troop.ships is bringing many more.
The Sultan again talks of sending
troops, but nobody believes him, for
Sultanic pledge is worth nothing

A Little British Scene.

Toronto special to the Chicago 7ri-
blme: Joseph Sayers, for an indecent
assault at Oshawa on child nine
years of age, received twenty-five
lashes with the cato nine tails at Cen
trail Prison today. The man who
welded the cat is an ex.soldier of the
British army. At the third stroke
the skin had become uniformly deep
crimson. as if blistered, and after the
sixth the flesh commenced to culver
and undulate with each stroke. Ev-
cry lash caused the color to deepen
until it turned to a sombre shade of
purple. At the eleventh stroke Say
ers sunk slightly, this being the only
evidence that he was feeling pain. He
braced himself up during the twelfth
stroke, but Nos. 10, IA and 10 again
caused him to sink. At the sixteenth
stroke the nine times knotted nine
whiplashes flew from the stroke and a
fresh cat was substituted. Blood now
began TO squirt out at intervals, and
by the time the twenty.fifth and last
lash was applied the prisoner bore ev-
idence of the instruments cruel effect,
his back being mass of almost
blackened flesh, dotted with glistening
drops of blood. The prisoner is a
short, thick set, powerful and muscu-
lar young man. Not a groan, nor a
cry, not a sound of any kind, escap-
ed his lips while he was undergoing
torture.
