AS TIKI fence cutters are Democrats in good
standing we are somewhat curious to know
what is to be done with them by the Legisla-
ture. Severity may drive them out of the
party and that would play the very devil with
the party in Texas. The Democratic papers
should not forget that the fence cutters be-
long to their party and are lawless and COM
munistic in the highest degree.

THERE is no earthly chance for any one to
say anything new on the threadbare theme OF
intemperance, yet the evil is SO gigantic and
so largely on the increase that something must
be said and done to arrest its progress. The
press has always stood up manfully against
intemperance and is still waging a vigorous
war upon this mother Of crime and vice.
Public opinion must be taught to regard and
treat drunkenness as ungentlemanly and de-
grading and the door OF good society must be
closed and bolted against so,s, no matter what
their abilities or wealth may be. This, per
haps, might assist thousands in their down
ward progress, but whether il had that result
or not society owes II to itself to draw the line
between sobrie,y and intemperance. The tax
for license to retail might be increased as
was done in Missouri, so as to get rid Of low
proe shops, in which the vilest Of imaginable
compounds are sold. Such grog shops are
out and out nuisances, and the compounds
which they sell are simply poisons. The LIGHT
does not believe in prohibition, nor does it
favor such measure, but il believes regula-
ton may lessen intemperauce and snatch
young men from ruin. 1t is worth trial.

THE City Council is the Legislature Of the
ely, and in order that 1t may faithfully per-
( rm its functions, it is essential that il shuold
be independent and free from subserviency.
The Aldermen are not elected TO carry out
their individual views, bu, to represent the
ideas and fulfill the wishes OF the people re-
spectng municipal affairs, and they are to all
intents and purposes the servants Of the peo-
pie. This responsibility to the people is OF
the essence Of our government. The Mayor
Is an independent and coordinate branch Of
the city government--its executive head, and
by means OF his veto, check on the Council.
Il is always advisable that the Council should
be free from subserviency to the Mayor, and
also that the Mayor should be free from sub
serviency to the Council, aud voters should
have an eye TO this matter in choosing Alder
meu. The people cannot possibly be too
watchiul in guarding against municipal rings
and pools, by which corrupt Jobs are consum-
mated to the great detriment Of the public
and one part Of the community is oppressed
in such a way as to render redress impossible.
One Of the surest indications OF the existence
Of a ring is the spectacle Of particular men
doing with IMMUNITY the very acts for which
others are punished. The people must look
out for their own interest by elec,ing proper
men.

On THE subject of the proposed new
brewery to be built in this city the Houston
Age says "The fact that a Chicago COM
pany proposes to start brewery in San An
tonic reminds US that before the war, and for
some time after the war, brewsres were
operated in Texas, and were profitable. Mr..
William Mepger made most of the money
with brewery that he built the Menger hotel
with. The Giesecke brothers conducted a
brewery successfully at Brennan, and here in
Houston Mr.. Goebel, Mr.. Schultz and Mr.
Flock, each had a brewery, and all three
made plenty of money. When railroad COM
munication was opened, and ST. Louis beer
began to come down by rail, our Texas
hreweries, one after another, closed up. Just
why they closed we do not certainly know.
But we suppose they could not, or did not,
make beer and sell it profitably in competition
with the ST. Louis beer. We have, however,
heard Mr.. Peter Goebel say that the business
may be conducted successfully and pro6tably
in Texas, and here in Houston; but only when
conducted on large scale and backed by
large capital. He thinks brewery in this
city, operated upon money basis OF ST. 50, 900,
would be Of more worth to Houston than an
other railroad, and would prove paying en-
terprise to those who would invest in it,"

AT Last half the newspapers in Texas are
as large as the daily New York World, Sun OF
the Herald, yet they would like to enlarge their
size. This mistake bankrupts many a news
paper. BY using smaller type they would
have ample space without enlarging their size,
and would stand a chance to make money.
Then nearly every editor is ambitious of pub
fishing daily paper, and pretty soon is head
over heels in debt. The expenses OF daily
paper are very heavy indeed. New Orleans
has zoe, 900 inhabitants and only some three OF
four daily papers, while Galveston, Dallas,

three dailies. Some months ago a correspond

The Waco Examiner is mistaken in its in
ference that the LIGHT is disgruntled at
Carlisle's election. 1t pleases us, since it in
sures the defeat Of Bourbonism in 1854. II
the Democratic party be honestly in favor Of
"a tariff for revenue only" and has made up
its mind to discard expediency, and go for
principle in good faith, it was manly and frank
in II to elect Carlisle, but we believe it will
dodge any alteration Of the present tariff a,

The folly and evil of choosing an intern
perate man to public Office is exemplhed in
the case Of Thomas Henry, who was elected
Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals, in Kentucky,
last year. After he was nominated he was
seen drunk in a public place, in a hotel in
Louisville, but he insisted it was only an ac-
cident and pledged himself not to drink
again, and the Democrats elected him by as
large majority as they would have given a
strictly sober man. MIR. Henry is now a mis-
cradle sot, and disgrace to his party and his
State. The fault OF having sois in Office rests
on the voters themselves, and they alone must
be educated to the point Of realizing that a
scottish officer is worse than nuisance. The
law should make habitual drunkards ineligible
for any public Office in the State, and thus
disable the people from electing them from a
misplaced sympathy for them.
