The interests OF humanity seem to demand
the publication Of the following facts; Two

case of a poor woman who was said TO be
iilctod W tn cancer. | found her with an ul-
Ger on her shoulder vt least inches In circum-
ference, angry, painful, and giving the patient
no rest day or night for six months OBJ
tanned a supply ofSwifts SpeclHc, which per-
su 'ded her to try. She has tahen i've bottles,
the result of which Is that The ulcer Is entirely
healed up, nothing rem aiming but Il small scab,
not larger than ones tiuger nail, and her gen
erul health Is better than for Ave years past.
She seems TO be perfectly cured.
An old man of % years has been subject to
sCrOfulOus sores five years, lie he'd one ON his
check MS large as silver dollar, swollen, raw
and constantly eNuding very offensive matter.
Another on his loot Of the same character,
and several on his hands, all of about two aud
half years standing. Hts general health was
poor ana he could scarcely get about at all.
He has taken two bottles OF Swilts Specific.
The sores are all well, leaving scarcely YES

THE San Antonio correspondent Of the
Houston Post of December s, PROCESSES to
give an interview with one of the leading
fence cutters, but, as the name Of neither
party is given, the alleged interview may be
pure fiction. If the sentiments, which are
pat into the mouth of this nameless fence cut
t;r,are participated in by any considerable por-
ton Of the people, Texas has stirring, il not
bloody, scenes ahead of her; for the platform
is, ''we don't mean to allow any man to fence
up the Hange, we want fee range and moth
ing else will satisfy us" That is unadulter.

hsolent defiance of the majesty Of the law,
and the power OF the State. We are unwil-
ling TO believe any considerable number of
Texans entertain these sentiments, as they
are contrary TO justice, civilization and law,
and would arrest the progress Of Texas as
we'll as inaict wounds upon her prosperity
which would not heal under 2s years. But
the State must throttle and crush any such
agrarian and lawless spirit, cost what it may.

That is the only course to be pursued. Make

fence IN 10 days, provide for public and pri-
va'e roads, forbid the enclosure of over a
certain number of acres in one pasture, and
then protect fence owners by the entire power
and force Of The State, from lawless men.

THE Brennan Banner says; THE Demo-
Gratis have always been famous for fighting
among themselves, they invariably have side
issues that do not involve any cardinal prinsi-
pie, but yet serve to make discord in the
party. There are too many wouli be leaders
who act on the rule or ruin policy" The
Houston Age, the Democratic 6le leader,
copies the above with appreciation, but had
the LIGHT said the same thing all the small

out that 1t was Radical prejudice.

which demands all the time and energies OF
Colonel Epson. He is industriously and
busily elecIioneering among the people for

PARIS, Oct. AIT a dinner at the Elysee,
the Minister Of Public Works informed the
Spanish Minister that the French Govern
ment, wishing to furnish proof Of its de-
sire to strengthen the relations of France
and Spain, had resolved to summon an
international Commission to examine into
the scheme Of building q tunnel at Can

NAPLES, Oct. 2.-Near here to-day a train
was thrown from the track. Five persons
were killed and 40 injured.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The German Govern
ment will take no diplomatic notice Of the
manifestation against Alfonso in Paris.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Times gives a
report from the Upernavik correspondent
of a Copenhagen journal that Lieut.. Gree
ley, Of the American Arctic expedition,
was murdered by q mutinous crew. The
report comes from Hans Hendrix, an
Esquimaux with DR.. Natherst. Hendrix
states that he got the news from an Esqui-
maux at Cape York. The Times considers
the report improbable, as DIR. Natherst has
never mentioned it.
NoTE-Mr. Natherst was geologist Of the
Nordkensjold expedition. Prof. Nordkens-
jold telegraphed to the Associated Press
from Secretbester under date OF the 22d
that an Esquimaux named Hans Christia,
who was interpreter with DR.. Natherst,
reported having met q party of Esquimaux
at God Haven who had come from Wal
stenholm. This party stated that they had
been informed by other natives that the
commander Of the expedition and other
members Of the party were dead. The re-
port printed in the London Times may
have been based on the same story.
ROME, Oct. 2.-The papal decree, regu-
lating the procedure before civil tribunals
Of the Vatican, is published. The decree
ignores the Italian law, and ordains that
contracts between any portion Of the
Pope's household and parties outside shall
be regulated solely by Pontifical law.
