San Marcos free press. [volume] (San Marcos, Tex.) 1877-1892, 1883-10-04

In reference to our remark, that the re-
suit Of the vote on local option at Kyle would
be apt to throw damper on school prospects
there, the Nutshell suggests that liquor is
also sold here, and is unable to see the diff
ference. The difference is that there the is
sue was newly made, just after the establish
ment of the Baptist High School, and
prohibition was strongly urged by Revs.
Abbott, Morrill, and others, on the ground
that many who otherwise would patronize
the school would not place their sons where
they would be exposed to the temptations of
open saloons. And comparisons favorable
to such places as Dripping Springs were
drawn. We soy the issue was thus freshly
made at Kyle for a specific purpose, and on
that issue the advocates of temperance were
beaten. No such issue has for years been
made here. We trust, however, the result
may not prove so disastrous at Kyle as some
seemed to anticipate.

We have received copy of this work for
1888, and find it the most complete thing of
the kind that has ever been issued. 1t con-
tains carefully prepared list of all news
papers and periodicals in the United States
and Canada arranged by States in geograph-
ical sections and by towns in alphabetical
order The name of the paper, the year it
was established, size, circulation, politics,
&c is given. 1t also gives the population
of the United States, and of each State,
Territory, county and county seat the chief
cities and towns, and of nearly every place
where d paper is published, from the census
of 1880 Also similar information for the
Dominion of Canada, from the census of
1881. 1t also gives the political majorities
and the Greenback vote of States and coun-
ties at the Presidential election of 1880.
We know of no other single publication
which contains infor nation of such varied
use and value for general business purposes.
It is a model work of the kind. Price So,

Millet's fine large opera was crowd
cd to nearly it's full capacity on Mon
day night by the best people of Aus
tin. TO listen TO Henry Ward Beech
er's lecture on The Reign of the
Common People" A full report fills
three and half columns, in solid
nonpareil, of the Galveston News, 80
that the FREE PREss is unequal to
the task OF even fair synopsis. We
advise our readers to buy the News
of Sunday last and read the lee
ture. 1t will repay careful perusal.
Although we had heard from the
the rostrum many of the leading men
OF the present day, somehow we had
missed Mr.. Beecher. In general up
pearance and makeup he resembles
a Quaker. He is not much above
the average in height but is quite
portly. The portraits in general cir
give very good idea of his
face and head His voice and man
ner are fine and attractive. Mrs.
Beecher accompanied him. She also
dressed quite plainly, but had the
appearance of woman of mind and
decided character.

San Marcos.

We went to San Marcos last Saturday ana
found very pleasantly located little oi,y'
inhabited by great many nice people,
Among the things that impressed US was
tho new courthouse, lately built, when ID
one of the finest in. the state. But the
browning glory of San Marcos Is the lake
like springs, at the head Of the San Marcos
river. The water reaches depth IN places
of 25 feet, and il SO clear that even at TINS
depth the smallest pebble may be plainly
seen ON the bottom. And the moses, ferns
and various water plants. which have their
home in the pelluoid depths of this fairy
lake, reflect every hue Of the of the ram
bow, forming picture of SURPRISING lowell
ness.
While our trip to San Marcos was strict
ly business one, it panned out larger pro-
portion of pleasure than business, and we
are largely indebted to the Messrs McCiel'
Ian father and SOM; to Hofheinz, the big,
jolly Boniface, Of the hostelry that bears
his name 10 Mr.. Julian, the FREE PRESS

COMMENT upon the killing of Fly by
Ward, says the San Antonio Light is almost
altogether unnecessary. Its the old story of
drink, and the possession of II revolver. If
the law and public opinion could operate in
crusade against these deadly agencies, So
ciety would be much better, and its need
less to say much safer A tank full of whis-
ky and loaded revolver combined in enc

As far as Indiana is concerned, the Nc
Donald movement has nanifestly progress

State is strongly against ''Uncle Joe" A

1876 carried the State, and also swelled the

ST. Louis. Sept. 20, 1888.
EpIroR FREE PREss:-A trip to Chicago
prevented me from contributing my usual
letter to the FREE PRESS last week.
Dispatches just received announce the
death of George Knapp, senior proprietor
of the Missouri Republican. This remark
able man began his career on the Republi-
can as poor errand boy 81 years ago MIR.
Knapp could not write the most Indifferent
editorial. He was destitute of ability to
write, but he had the American instinct for
business which amounted to genius, and it
was under his tact, superior judgment, and
devotion to the best interests of society, and
the growth of st. Louis, that the Republi-
can grew. up into such mighty proportions.
Mr.. Knapp died Mt sea on his way home
from Europe.
The preparations for Fair week are about
completed. The city will be brilliant and
magnificent beyond past experience.
The longest drought known for many
years is now prevailing in this part of the
State, and the dust upon the highways is
fearful
The deadlock between the Mayor and
City Cou neil still continues, and the citizens
are disguised with the quarrel Allappoint-
ments made by the Mayor are steadily re-
jected by the ''Solid Seven" who compose
the majority of the Council.
The Sunday law of st. Louis is failure.
The Sabbath breakers call for a jury, and in
every case thus tried, the verdict has been
not guilty. It is utterly useless to attempt
to enforce any law here on Sunday; on that
day the bar-rooms and smutty theatres reap
large profits, and every sort of debauch runs
riot. CARL SMYTHE.

SuppOrt Your County Paper.

Tho FREE Press il just closing IT.
Tenth Year under the present manage
msut We have labored faithfully during
that time. in the face of many difficulties, to
build up respectable newspaper in this
county, and incidentally to make it benefit
TO this country and community. We can say
of truth that during the greater part OF
said period we have, in our desire to pub
lish creditable paper, spent more money
on it than the patronage bestowed on it war
rantsd, and are still doing 80. Our hope
has been, and is, that our people would f.
nally wake up to the Importance of the SUBJ
,ect of well sustaining their home paper, 10
that we might secure at least fair return
for all our labors and expenditures.
In again referring to the matter now, we
do not propose more than to call attention
to the subject. The FREE PREss il well
known, and speaks for itself. Both as To-
cal and general newspaper it is better than
ever before. This we believe Is generally
understood and conceded, and people only
need be awakened to the duty of better sus-
tanning it, so that it may continue to grow
better. In order to this and as further in
ducement to subscribers, we offer the fol-
lowing valuable
