SOME fellow in writing in justification of the
fence cutters, put up the plea that he should
have free grass and wide range, because he
and his father had fought and driven off the
Indians, and was wound up by the question
Of what right had he to drive the Indians away
from their inherited hunting grounds' The
theory will not work. The fence cutter is a
violator Of the law, and as such should be
amenable to the law, because it is supreme.

In DISCUSSING the question OF murder, and
its general freedom from punishment in Texas,
the Waco Examiner says: "a few years
since il was thought the State had passed
through the worst Of her troubles in this
respect 1t was even predicted that soon the
crime Of murder would become as rare as the
others we have named. But alas the result
has not borne out this comfortable theory. On
the contrary, it grows worse. When we come
to seek for the explanation, behold we have it
in letters Of light that all may read and fully
understand. The horse thief and the cattle
thief are hung without mercy and without
law. The robber, the burglar, the foot-pad
and the petty thief gets prompt punishment.
The man, however, who reddens his hand in
the blood Of his fellow for any purpose gets
off by some hook or crook-if levity is per-
MISSILE in the treatment Of as grave a subject
caught, or If caught he is rarely convicted,
and ifconvicted he is never hung unless he is
ignorant, poor and Handkerchief at rare in
tervals he is hung for the crime. These are
uncomplimentary facts we are writing but
they are facts nevertheless, and they are facts
attached to circumstances which are positively
dangerous to the peace, good order, name
aud safety Of society in this fair Texas land OF
ours. In thus permitting outrages so glazing
Texas is settling herself on the downward
track which will land her at the devil If her
good men, her courts and grand juries do moi
very soon speedily reconstruct their policy
and stand for the punishment Of the murderer
as well as the horse and cattle thief"

THE LIGHT repeats its advice to citizens
to support meme but progressive men for Alder
men, and not to split up on different candi-
dates. Be sure before hand that they are
really and truly progressive, and heartily in
favor of municipal improvement. The pro-
gresSiye element is in the majority in the city,
and it is fortunate for the future of San An
tonic that such is the case. We earnestly APP.
peal to the young men to take bold stand
for progress and Improvement, as they will
grow with the growth Of the city.

The holiday edition of the Ii CHIT in many
respects was a valuable issue, and gave the
reader very fair idea Of the progress made
in the last year by the city. Itcost time, work
and money to get it up, but it is fact that
every day some one will come to the office
and ask for one to FIVE copies, and when
asked to pay for them decline to take them.
The LIGHT is of the opinion that If any one
thinks enough OF that special issue to call for
it, he will have to pay for it.

ssThere is no provision in the Divine econ

He was right The only boss authorized by
the Book is mentioned in these words: she
who ruleth his own spirit is greater than he

Commonly, the better side Of men is sub

LAURA L. THOMAS.

FROM an address recently delivered
before the Chicago Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union by Bishop Ireland, of
Minnesota, we take the following ex-
tract:
Discussing the economic aspects of
the sucject, heheld that there should
be no wide spread poverty in a country
like the United States. If such power
ty exists there is a reason for it,
which is found in the ever-yawning
gulf that receives the earnings of the
workingmen. People who talk of i'm
proving the people without pointing
to the saloon as the first cause of poy-
erty and misery talk to the empty air.
Make the people sober, and in America
there is no fear of social connection,
communism, or nihiliSm. Make them
sober, and their own intelligence will
teach them how to war against mon
opoly. But if these fearful events ev-
er happen, the saloons must be held
responsible for them. The danger of
the republic to-day, Bishop Ireland
contended, danger which Rome or
Athens never experienced, is from al
COilOl. w OC DCOiuO bHC NOuHUiJ III
which the party caucus is held around
the beer table, in which the slate was
made up i'll the rnm-shop. The liquor
party is bold and ambitious as we'll as
domineering, and its advances demand
the attention of all good citizens.
The sin of drunkenness was also con-
sidered in the light of Catholic doc
trine, after which Bishop Ireland dis
cussed practical remedies. He did
not believe in prohibition as a remedy
except as last resort--a condition
which society would be forced to adopt
as means of self-protection because
of the refusal of the saloon-keepers to
accept rational measures. The two
remedies he proposed were high IL
cense, and the enforcement of exist
ing laws. In support of high license
he urged that the liquor traffic is re-
sponsible for three-fourths of the
crime in the country and should be
made to pay the same proportion of
its expense. He also advocated high
license ON the moral ground that it
would reduce the number of saloons
and the consumption of liquors. In
regard to present laws Bishop Ireland
thought it was time to settle whether
the liquor business was above all laws.
He then made plea for total absti-
nence. and eulogized the work of the
Catholic total abstinence societies. In
conclusion, Bishop Ireland addressed
himself especially to his countrymen.
and urged upon them the necessity of
temperance in order to make their
race respected and influential, as they
should be, in America. He quoted A.
NJ. Sullivan's recent statement that if |
the Irish people would let liquor alone |
for five years, the land of Ireland |
would be freed from the curse OF
He stated that % per
cent. of the crimes committed by
Irishmen are due to whiskey, and |
trusted the time would come when it |
would be disgrace for an Irishmen |
to be saloon keeper. Make the Irish |
people sober. he said, and they would |
soon acquire their homes, and their |
names would be read with respect by

Obituary.

Died, at his home in River Falls,
Tuesday, February 9th, of erysipelas,
William Mussey, in the eightieth year
of his age. Mr.. Mussey had been a
man of remarkably uniform health,
never having employed Il physician
for himself during his long life until
his last sickness which was only of
one week 8 duration. He was born
in Standish, Maine, where he resided
until 1864 when he came to Wiscon-
sin, residing in this village ever since,
excepting the first season. He was
for many years sexton of the village
cemetery, where his faithful service
has left its mark. We shall not soon
forget the reverently barred head of
the sexton as one mournful process
sion after another turned toward
the last resting place of the dead.
MIR. Mussey anticipated death with
cheerful eomposure, and his friends
are comforted by the hope of reun-
ion ON the deathleSs shore.

In Memory Of Little Charlie Ellsworth.

Our baby is dead How sad are the words?
And they bring thoughts more sorrowful still,
In our household this morning, where so lately was
And our eyes with hot moisture fill. (joy,
The sweet little treasure, to all hearts so dear,
All, how can we ever forget [core,
The pangs that have gone to our hearts deepest
In losing our baby--our pet.
We have laid him away, meath mantle Of snow;
A cold. cruel bed does 1t seem
For the one we have cherished so tenderly here,
Through the life that was scarcely begun.
But we know that our darling will feel not the
Tho he lieth benea tn the cold snow; [chill
The life that has fied--the sweet opening bud,
In Paradise sweetly will blow
So while we must mourn, let il be for ourselves,
That are not ready to go
With him to the land where is no cold or pain,
And where sorrow none ever may know.
When the winter is over, and daisies are come,
Together we'll visit his grave: lgrow
Aud the grass and the flowers above him that
Shall teach US to hope and be brave.
Look up! they will say to our sorrowing souls
And never be east town or sad,
But go on tiny way, be loving aud true,
And thy spirit shall grow strong and glad.
For know the Good shepherd hath taken thy Lamb,
And holdeth it safe in his arms;
To lure the to follow, to pastures more fair,
BY the light of its iniantle charms.
