THE Galveston News, when quoting from
the LIGHT should discriminate between edi-
itorial articles and communications appearing
its columns, and not saddle the LIGHT with
the articles OF its correspondents. We pub
lish many communications which we do not
approve Of. and do so from a desire to give all
parties hearing. The article concerning the
resignation Of Judge Morrill, appeared in the
LIGHT as a communication; but our opinion
is, that after reaching the age Of 70 judges
should be ineligible and their Office should be
treated as vacant. Few men at 10 possess the
physical powers requisite for the mental oper-
atoms and labors devolved upon judges and
it is hardly likely Judge Morrill, is one Of the
rare exceptions to the general rule. Having
passed his 'three score and ten," II would be
wise and graceful in Judge Morrill, to retire
from an Office the duties of which are beyond
his physical yigor and endurance. The
Romans held that all public men should, as
age approached, quit public employments and
consecrate the evening Of life to repose, medita-
ton and preparation for the supreme hour.
Americans remain in public life after drivel
and dotage have caused people to dorbt the
reality Of their early reputation for brains.

bribed TO vote against street railway along
Flores street, and we wish them to understand
that newspaper men are Just as high toned
and honorable, in all respects, as they are.
The people themselves will settle the whole
business at the ballot box, and II they fail to
comprehend the issue at stake it shall not be
laid to the remissness Of the LIGHT in discuss
ing the matter. More street railways are
needed in San Antonio and the people mean
to elect Councilman who will grant the right
Of way to them as well as assist in the i'm

IN SfhAhlNO OF tue democrats carrying
Mississippi by heavy majority, the LIGHT
remarked that such result was not surprising
in view Of the improved methods OF holding
elections introduced by the Democrats, and
the subjoined extract from the Chickasaw
Messenger, Democratic paper in Mississippi,
unfolds the corruptons, frauds and rascalities
praeticed by its party to carry the election. 1t
is sickening, damning and true. What is
described as going on 10 Mississippi is
literally true Of every Southern State. Fraud
on the ballot box is the chief factor in cleo
tons, and is used by rings to defeat the
wishes Of the people, and by the people we
mean in this connection the Democratic
bosses and rings rule in every Southern State
and rule solely by fraud on the ballot box,
defying the opposition Of the patriotic and
decent part Of the Democratic party and
Plunging deeper into the pool o. corruption
with each succeeding election. The people
cannot and will not put up with such corrup-
ton and fraud, but will organize an indepen-
dent party and brush away the political
maggots. Such a movement is inevitable, il
cannot be STAYED of, for the people know that
the purity Of the ballot box is the life, soul,
foundation and substance of our form Of
government and institutions. and that when
fraud takes its place, loss OF liberty is not far
of. Even in Texas an Independent party is
necessity and is sure to come. 1t is the only
remedy for ring rule and election frauds. To
poor men the rights of suffrage is simply
priceless as a protection against class legisla-
ton and WRONG.

"THElo vile, cowardly, doggish uneentle-
manly thrust Of the Austin Statesman at Gov
ernor Ireland only tend to make our Chief
Magistrate more popular. Marshall Mes
senger. The Statesman might exclaim, in the
the Ian guage Of George d. Prentice,

The harmony and brotherly feeling
among the Democrats Of Texas is very beau
tiful and refreshing, and suggests the near
approach Of the millennium.
1T WAS iavorite saying of Michelet, the
French writer, that "God made man, but man
made woman" and it reposes on basis Of
truth and fact. The husband can mould his
wife to his ideas and into correspondence with
his habits merely through the leverage Of
lovely working on her love. The poet has
shown how this is to be done
BE to her faults little blind,
BE TO her virtues very kind,
Leave her actions unconfined,
And clap paddock on her mind"
1t is probable this plan would greatly lessen
the number Of divorces and separations and
add to the peace, harmony and happiness OF
life.
AMERICA has been sorely tried by grevious
Affections. Oscar Wilde, a combination OF
cockney, dude and humbug, came among US
to gather up shekels Of silver and gold from
open moutked barbarians whom he despised.

only aim is TO coin money out OF American
credulity through his reputation in England.
But 1t is the last straw that breaks the camePs
back. Martin Farquhar Tupper author Of
"Proverbial Philosophy" is going 10 visit the
United States to CLEAN the leavings Of Oscar
Wilde and Mathew Arnold, and fearful in
crease OF suicide may be looked for. Our
burden is heavier than we can bear.
Wa UNDERSTAND that the moss back Coun-

any moss back, we desire to say, that so far
as the LIGHT is concerned, l. is gross SLAM
