Taking in the Town.

his son Pinder, informing her that work
would detain him at the store until late

out Mrs. Fitzgoober, ''he seems to have
work on hand every time want to 90 any

She was turning to her work again, when
Pinder asked:
"Ma, do they have prayer meetin' every
Wednesday night ?"

town every prayer mee,in' night ,"

suspicion fitted behind her bangs. and she
asked; why do you ask such ques-

er, '''cause pa told man to-day that. as this
was Wednesday night, he sposed he'd have
to take in the town, an imagined that if
he had to take it anywhere. he'd take it into
the store. an if he took it in there it must
be his duty to take care of it.
Mr.. and Mrs Fitz occupied the same
pew that night, and somehow or other Fitz
wasn't as happy as usual.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
THE CIVIL. SERVICE.

The subject of civil service administration
is problem that has occupied the earnest
thought of statesmen for number of years
past, and the record will show that toward
its solution many results of valuable and
comprehensive character have been attained
by the Republican party since its accession
to power. In the partizan warfare made
upon the latter with the view of weakening
it in the public confidence great deal has
been alleged in connection with the abuse of
the civil service, the party making the indis-
criminate charges seeming to have entirely
forgotten that it was under the full sway
Of the Democratic organization that the
motto TO the victors belong the spoils"
became cardinal article in the Democratic
creed.
With the determination to elevate our
governmental administration to a standard
of justice, excellence, and public morality,
the Republican party has sedulously en-
deavored to lay the foundation Of system
which shall reach the highest perfection un-
der the plastic hand of time and accumul.
ating experience. The problem is one of
far greater intricacy than appears upon its
superficial consideration, and embraces the
sub-questions of how to avoid the abuses
possible to the Judgement of an immense
number Of appointments in the hands Of the
Executive Of how to give encouragement

ten-cent tipple to all this

and what is our Caucasian
civilization worth, after all?)
Prince Bill, before he
reached the throne by popu-
lar acclaim, was so great a
favorite with the natives that
they gave him the title,
full from their hearts, of the
best beloved. He was fine,
tall, distinguished, aristocratic
islander, swart, slim and
shapely, sporting the mus
tache and eye-glass, and
having a humorous twinkle
in his handsome black eye,
which told of plenty of wit
and wholesale merriment
within. In the popular Amer
lean parlance of the day,
William was a daisy. 1 am
gratefully indebted for a fund
of characteristic stories about
this jolly prince to the genial
h-Hawaiian, Colonel
George w. Macfarlane, that
elegant, talented young aide
de-camp of King Kalakaua
and honorable member of the
privy council of Hawaii. 1t
may here be added of Prince
Bill that he was always a
Jealous friend of the United
States.
Lunalilo was a representa-
tive native, and consequently
an inordinate favorite with all
other natives and true patriots.
The populace idolized him
and swore by him devoutly.
On all occasions of public in
terest, from a circus to a
revolution, Prince Bill was
called for by the commonalty,
and always came. By right
of birth he occupied a seat in
the House of Mobiles, and
from it he would address the
chair so that the benches
could well hear whatever he
had to say. And generally
he spoke straight to the
point.

circus stopped at Honolulu

to give a few performances

vulgar haste or too great an
interest III progression. The
lower orders preserve some
thing of the same mighty and
serene'manner, less cultivated
and more moderate of tone,
after their own becoming,
homely fashion. The fisher
man in his cent m0Io has a
possessed, East-Indian sort
of air as he nimbly sculls his
dug-out or dives in the rush
ing surf F.; the peasant in white
shirt, blue breeks and red
scarf, with white lais hung
over his breast and bright
leaves in his hat, has the i'm
posing port of a newly-ap-
pointed municipal policeman ;
while the women of the
humber class, wearing the
pa-u or petticoat, strut and
sweep along the smooth roads
or stroll on the crested shore,
their wild hair blown back by
the light winds of the noun
tain (mauka) side of the
sunny island. The Hawaiian
is a free man and he knows
it, and he bears a high front,
an air of lordly Indifferent
extremely impressive and not
at all displeasmg. BY birth
he is a grand-seignor of
creation, and he does not
mean by any mere accident
to be mistaken for it's lackey
and he is right. Such an
independent stock produces
independent individuals of
very independent character,
indeed, and Prince Lunalilo
was certainly one of these
by nature gentle, generous,
courteous, modest, yet manly,
gentlemanly and chivalrous !;
a fine, pure specimen Of the
genuine Sandwich Islander.
Aristocratic of character, yet
was he most democratic in
conduct-a scion of chief
tainly nobility, yet was he
from his youth onward a
staunch friend of his people
"a titled commoner of the
ancient school. His line was
not that of the old warlike
Kamehamehas, those brave
Hanniba1s of the Pacific who
SC long had dominated the
islands; their throne the sea-
shell strand; their crown a
Grecian crest of golden plum
age; their sceptre a Canute-
wand with which to wave
back the surrounding waste
of waters from further en-
croachment Oh the green
meads of their lovely island
home; their kingdom the broad
group of Hawaii-nei.
Lunalilo, like Kalakaua,
was of the ancient race of
island chieftains, an ALI or uni
of that long-cherished blue
blood SO dear to the hearts of
the nation. Those high-chiefs
of Hawaii were a strange,
stupendous species specially
bred and kept for rulers and
to be as demi-gods to the in
habitants. They dweltin grass
palaces; dressed in the royal
yellow cloaks (more precious
than imperial purple in their
subjects eyes) made of the
plumage of a small black bird
found on one of the islands,
under each wing of which grew
a single golden feather which
was eagerly plucked and
devoted to that regal purpose
slept on thick white mats of
softest sea-birds' down; dined
sumptuously off the mellow
est fruits and mealiest roots

American tradition and ideas comes
from the United States Of Columbia.
There is a little journal there known as
the The Shipping List, published by an
outspoken Republican, who has within
him the strong fibre Of American man
hood. 1t welcomes the nomination OF
Mr.. Blaine with exultation and grati-
tude. II pronounoes him candidate
who will make the most American
President since the lamented Lincoln
and declares that since the news Of his
nomination has been received In South
America the status Of American citi-
zenship has advanced 90 per cent Its
grounds for rejoicing are briefly stated:
"Those OF us who have passed a.consld-
cradle portion Of our lives In foreign
lands know how weak Is the status Of an
American citizen. Our nationality Is at
80 low an ebb that 1t Is jest-word
throughout Spanish-America. During
IS years. residence here, we have been
ashamed of our nationality 100 times.

their birthright and claimed that OF
Great Britain. How long shall this dis
graceful state Of affairs oontinueS Not
longer than till James G.. Blaine shapes
the foreign policy Of the United States.
With his election we feel that our shame
at our nationality would cease that In
assemblies OF mixed nationalities we
could with pride say: we are Ameri-
cans = and spell it with big A. With
James @. Blaine President, our country
men abroad would no longer be abused,
insulted, murdered, with impunity.
Their blood, as that Of the crew Of the
virginius, would be paid for at the price
Of their murderers. Our wretohed
countrymen would no longer need to
shelter themselves under the British
flag. American nationality would then
be above par the denying Of their own
to claim that of Great Britain would
cease forever"

IT Is quite evident that If an election
were TO be held in England to-day to de-
termine who would be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. Cleveland
would be elected by majority that
would defy the counters. Fortunately
for the American people, the British
may have good deal to say, but they
can have very little to do with electing
Presidents. There is no doubt that Mr..
Blaine is running very poorly in Eng
land while Mr.. Cleveland is finding his
path frightened with smiles and sweet
ened with roses and all that sort of
thing. However, before the campaign
is over, he may pray to be delivered from
his friends. at least his transatlantic
friends. For there is a good wholesome
sentiment prevailing in this country
that Americans know little better
what they want in governmental affairs
than do English journals, and the history
of this country has shown that when
England has advised one course, 1t has
always been best for the United States
ito take the opposite.

Tnr Austin Statesman is making a
most vigorous fight for what looks like a
forlorn hope In Its opposition to Ireland,
and as the days grow few until the
meeting OF the convention, Its arraign-
ment of him Is kept up very holly. IL is
n proverb that you should remember
well what is said of you In anger, and
this saying is quite applicable as regards
Mr.. Ireland and his administration, as
the papers who are fighting him are
Democratic, and they are telling some
very positive and pointed stories about
him just now, which will, no doubt, live
longer than n day. The opposition to
the Governor took form too late to de-
feat him, and lacked effectiveness be-
cause no other man was suggested In
opposition who would accept the posi-
ton. This is why the Houston conven-
ton will renominate him, coupled, OF
course, with the instructions In his favor
from a majority of the counties in the
State.

THE Democratic Legislature provided
for and Governor Ireland appointed
man as Superintendent of an Asylum,
that in the words Of the Statesman
"could not have housed patient In two

some of the cash balance went glimmer-
ing, and ID little bit ahead Of any Re-
publican extravaganza reported. "The

say, will get left If they don't look into
the way their money is being squan-
dered by the Democratic State Govern
ment

The Times asks: "Why doesn't our
neighbor of the LIGHT "leg'' for Dick
Nelson for Congress in the Seventh Dis
trictp Richard is a good Republican
and needs help" The LIGHT might fit
tingly answer the Times by putting
question to 1t, as to why Ii has so studi-
ously given the cold shoulder to Mr.. c.
Epson? Mr.. Epson is not only DEM
ocrat OF many years standing, but he re-
sides In San Antonio, yet the Times
seems TO have been for anybody to beat
him. Epson, in point of capacity and
qualifications, outranks Sayers and
breckenridge, yet the Times prefers any
body to him Why should the Times
war on n brother Democrat and an actu-
al neighbor? The LIGHT does not re-
gard Richard Nelson as possessed of the
qualifications essential in member Of
Congress; and, moreover, does not con-
slider his devotion to the Republican
party as reliable and steady as it might
be. Nelson wants an office, and he wants
1t very badly. He comes out for Con-
gress voluntarily. Last winter he
spared no pains and effort to induce the
negroes TO organize themselves into a
separate party and to draw the color
line, step which would be ruinous to
them, and the motive prompting him
was mere disappointment because he
failed to get an office. The LIGHT does
not believe in putting incompetent per-
sons In office while competent ones can
be found at every turn, and Richard
Nelson has no manner OF qualifications
for Congress that the world is aware of.

How notifying will 1t be to San An
tonic capitalists to have the people Of
moderate means build the railroad to
Arkansas without any aid from them and
In defiance Of their protests and opposi-
ton! 1t begins to look as though this
very thing was going TO happen. Every
citizen is under an imperative obligation
to manifest an interest in the welfare of
his town or city. Patriotism begins in
the love Of the place OF our abode, and
unless it has root in love Of the home
oircle-the neighborhood, the town,
county and State-it is spurious. In
other towns capitalists lead Off in public
enterprises designed to increase trade
and business, and all should dislike to
see San Antonio prove an exception to
this rule, and to see her moneyed men
frown upon an enterprise Of the utmost
moment to the future growth of the city.
1t is not yet too late for San Antonio
capitalists to show they feel an interest
in the growth of the city and are ready
to aid in its development to the extent
of their means.
