THE Corpus Christi Critic is jubilant over
the remarks made by Dr. Herif before the
Medical Society Of Western Texas at its
recent session in San Antonio concerning a
new sort of maarial fever, which had appeared
in our city, and makes them its text for some
editorial comments, the purport Of which is
that San Antonio has ceased to be a safe re-
sort, in winter, for health seekers from the
North and that Corpus Christi is the place for
them. The Critic is mistaken in both OF its
deductions. The mortuary reports Of San
Antonio demonstrate its salubrity and health
fitness, and we can always cite this iHefraga-
BILE evidence when the hellthiulness Of our
city is rashly called in question. There have
been some cases OF fever, but the mortuary
reports show that it was not attended by much
fatality. The humidity and saluness of the
atmosphere on the coast renders the gulf
coast unsuited for pulmonary diseases, it is too
heavy for them; but in San Antonio, even
during cloudy and damp spell, the air is
lighter and purer and more easily breathed
than it is either in Florida or at Corpus
Christi, and this renders it a safer winter re-
sort for persons with weak lungs. We are
quite sure that the Critic never meant to do
San Antonio an injustice by its remarks, but
only to "boost" Corpus Christi, but still its
remarks, were they left unanswered, might
impose upon strangers. San Antonio is, by
nature, the climate best suited to consump-
uves, as thousands are prepared to attest by
the hen rGis uuhich thew have Arrival from n

The LIGHT is warmly and zealously in
favor Of all practicable improvements in the
city, among others an abundant supply of pure
hydrant water, adequate drainage for the
surface water, system Of sewerage, which
shall not be a sham, sidewalk improvements
and crossings, additional lamps and more
street railways. II desires to see men elected
to the Council who will reflect the views and
carry out the wishes Of the people in the san-
,ation and improvement Of the city, and be-
yond this result it has no object to subserve.
The LIGHT belongs TO no ring or pool, nor has
it any private "ax" to grind by means Of the
coming election Of Aldermen. Progressive
and energetic'men, who do not belong to any
ring is all the LIGHT desires. Our opposi-
ton to the non-progressive element in the
Council is not personal in any sense Of the
phraze, but arises from a conviction that such
element is autagonistc TO the growth and vel
fare Of San Antonio. We do not mpugn the
motives Of the mossback Aldermen, but we
arraign the soundness Of their judgments.
Were they now to come out plumply and
squarely for progress and improvement, our
opposition to them would be at an end. Men
and their ambitions are Of no consequence in
our estimation when the growth, welfare and
health Of the city is at stake. This is ourpla,-
form in a nutshell. We advise the people to
call out candidates and vote for none but pro-
gressiye men.

THE Southern Democrats may sneer at and
belittle the New York Sun with all their
might, but it has been Of essential service to
their party in the North and West, and they
can ill afford to lose its support and influence
Just on the eve of Presidential election.
Drag, bluster and bravado will not counteract
the disastrous effects which will flow from the
opposition ofthe Sun. The Sun regards the
election Of Carlisle as a "new departure"
and as ensuring the defeat Of the Democratic
party in 1884, and declares that "tarf for
revenue only" will give the votes of New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia
and Louisiana to the Republicans. The
solid South cannot elect President, but a
united North can elect one with all ease, and
is going TODD so.

THE Hubbard City News says; ""rhe
largest pasture in the world, that of Captain
Richard King, has been variously commented

have enormously located it in Coleman coun-

Rio Grande and Gulf coast and when com

the corner Of Captain Kennedy's pasture to
the Arroyo Colorado, two miles above Bar

50 small land owners, mostly Mexicans, some
Of whom are said to own as high as four
leagues Of laud. There are few right minded
