enable rents will help San Antonio, while
exorbitant rents will deter laboring men from

road and the improvement Of the same as far
at least as the Salado, and promise him the
thanks Of our county and the public generally"
THE system recommended by Professor
lIalbedl would have too many complications,
and, therefore, too much friction in It's
machinery. II the people are competent to
select the members Of the Commissioners
court out from the mass Of the people, they are
equally competent to choose County Super
intepdent Of Public Schools. Delegated power
is not imbued with wisdom simply by the fact
that |, is delegated by the people. The gov
eminent is founded on the capacity Of the
people for selfgovernment, and the LIGHT is
not ready to confess it to be an illusion and
failure. The County Commissioners being
few in number, would be more likely to be in
fuenced by personal influences and 10 run into
favoritism and nepotism in electing County
Superintendent than the majority Of the people
would be- The drift OF all power now is TO
run into rings and combinations by which
those in power are enriched and thepeople are
robbed, and we must use every effort to haul
OF from this lee shore with lis resounding
breakers. In many counties the County
Commissioners are piichforked into Office by
the party caucus and are indfferently educated
and ill-iniormed, and where they resign the
County Judge fills the vacancies and the one
man power is not often wisely exercised or ex-
ercised in the interest ofthe people. State
Superintendent with County Superintendent,
where counties have over 1000 population, is
simple and easy.
THE sentiment Of the large majority Of the
voters Of the city is that "mossbackism must
Co." and mat rings and cliques must retire to
the back ground. This Is a healthful and
patriotic sentiment, every way creditable to
the.people, and itisthe crop gathered from seed
soSn and watered by the LIGHT. which took
the non-progressive bull by the horns when
others were frightened by his bellowings and
pawings. The present "boom" of San Antonio
must be pushed forward with such improve
ments as will draw capital and population,
and this result can only be accomplished by
clecting live, liberal and go ahead men 10 the
Council. The streets are in a condition which
is absolutely disgracefu to the city, since
slight rain renders them impossible, they
being so constructed as to retain instead Of
carrying off the surface water. Thousands Of
dollars Of the money of the tax payers has
been thrown away aud wasted in work on the
streets. This is fact attesled by the con-
dtion Of the streets. No truthful person is
able to controvert il. The surface water is
damned up on every street by the bungling
work which has been executed, and no effort
is made to apply remedy. The Street Com
missioner, no doubt, ianoies the streets are in
supurb condition. The LIGHT is for a change
in the conduct OF municipal affairs, and
opposed to the wasting of the peoples
money by incompetent and non-progressive
men, and it proposes to discuss these matters
in an independent way. Elect progressive
men.

VIC oRoUs correspondent Of the LIGHT in
discussing the inaction and Indifference shown
by some Of the moneyed men Of the city to-
wards proposed and contemplated enterprises,
spoke of certain citizen, as oeine chief of
the mossbacks, and described him as having
the moss floating in graceful pendants.from
his back, as it does from tall tree in South
ern Louisiana, and he wrapped it. around him
with pride worthy of Cato" The CORE
spondents letter was notused, but his discrip-
ton OF the non-progressve element, while
little bit overdrawn, represents some OF their
characteristics. 1t is true, however, that all
men are not mossbaeks, because they do not
plunge into new enterprises, but the word has
Its greatest meaning when applied to he man,
who, while refusing to 60 into or encourage
any and all enterprises that would benefit
himself as well as others, at the same time
stands in the way Of those who would. This
sort of man is mossback, and when his
place Is filed with one who is enterprisinp
and progressive, the difference between them
will be very Pereepuble in the progress and
