A FEW Of our brethren OF the press Of Texas
evidently misunderstood our meaning when
we ridicule and denounee the nauowness,
bigotry and insensibility to facts which charac-
terize the Bourbon Democrats in the South,
aud Jump to the conclusion that our shalt is
shot at all who act with the Democratic party.
This never was our meaning. There are lib
eral and progressive Democrats who at heart
condemn Bourbonism as strongly as does the
LIGHT, but who are afraid to do so publicly,
lest they should lose caste and come to be
disrated. The privates in the Democratic
party are well inten,ioned and patriotic, but
unhappiy they are in absolute subsection to
the caucus ring, and for that reason are with
out any influence upon public opinion or pub
lie affairs. They can only be compared to
horses hitched to a wagon and bound to fol-
low. When the "machine" formulates its
programme every paper and politician is ex-
pected and required to fall into line like we'll
drilled troops, and implicitly to obey the or
ders Of the caucus ring. This is mental and
political slavery of the worst description,
since it destroys private judgment and indie
pendent thought among the people and ena-
bles the ring to perpetuate itself in Office by
corruption. The LIGHT is only fighting for
the right of private judgment-the distinguish
ing mark Of freeman and the best safeguard
Of our free institutions. The machine coerced
Culberson and Wellborn into voting for Car
Isle against the dictates Of their own judg-
ment. When the LIGHT denounces the ma
chine and BourbOnism it is fighting for the
rights and welfare Of the people. Jefferson
relied on the people, consulted the people,
confded in them and knew nothing of rings
| and machines

THE Brazoria Independent speaking Of the
item in the LIGHT regarding the survive rs Of
the Mier prisoners says; "The LIGHT is
mistaken as to the number Of survivors Of
that III fated but historic expedition. Captain
Samuel Lyons Of Velasco, Brazoria county, is
still living. Though nearly 50 years press
upon him, he is still as hale as when 60 years
ago he trod the highlands Of his native Scot
land. lie, with the Hon. James c. Wilson,
late Of Gonzales, Texas, after drawing Of the
beans, refused the prohered release from i'm
prisonment, extended to them by the Minister
Of England as British subjects, and chose to
remain with the friends and country Of their
adoption, until that country could secure their
release. The old Captain, true to his sailor
training, returned after the release Of the Mier
prisoners to Braloria county, and has ever
since up to this time been the pilot at the
mouth Of the Braros river. Long live the
Lyon Of Velasco. Beneath his plaid beats a
warm, true and gallan, hearil"
In 1873 street railways begun to be operated
in San Antonio and after the lapse of only
five years the advantages resulting from them
stand out in bold relief like a knot on a tree
and silence the doubts and the clamors Of
such as felt inclined to oppose them at the
start. San Pedro avenue has literally been
built up by the street railway line running
along il, since that line obviated the disadvan-
tages ofboth distance and mud and furnished
a regular, quick and cheap transportation to
and from the city. What would San Pedro
springs amount TO without the street railway
to transport visitors to and from themi tits
treat to poor men and women to have an
opportunity Of going TO the springs on Sun
day for fresh air, yet but for the street
railway and its fare Of 10 cents for the
round trip, they could not enjoy this treat and
restful recreation. Avenue c has been like
wise built up in consequence Of the street
railway operated along it. Houston street
has also felt the inspiring effects OF the street
railway. II is almost impossible to estimate
the benefit which the city has already derived
from street railways, and yet the operating Of
these lines has not impeded the use Of the
streets by wagons or other vehicles, as was
predicted in 1873, would be the case. The
people OF San Antonio demand additional
street railways and are determined 10 have
them as they will show by choosing progress
sive Aldermen.
