Mr.. CARL SCHuRz and Mr.. Geo. VIII
liam Curtis are obliged to meet many
old friends on their way out of the Re-
publican party In the shape of vigorous
sentiments uttered against the Demo
Gratis. One of Mr.. Shurz's most con-
spicuous is an extract from speech
made at indianapolis In 1880, in which
he said "The Democracy has had the
misfortune Of exercising a remarkable
power of attraction for the adventurous
and even the dangerous elements of our
population; and its attempts to regain
power by all sorts of devices and the adj
vocacy of all sorts of principles and pol
icies have gathered under its banner so
many divergent tendencies and inoon-
gruous elements, held together by the
only desire to regain the spells Of gov
ernment, that when the party comes
into power nobody can tell which ele-
ment will be uppermost in strength and
determine the current of its policy"

Or Governor lreland's administration
the Dallas Herald says "rhis admins
tration has done more for Texas than
any other administration we have had.
II has built al asylum In North Texas
which when completed will relieve the
jails OF the lunatics and the counties Of
this expense. II has improved the pub
lie school system and increased the
scholastic age. II has nnnulled the pen
itentiary lease and made that insiitu-
ton source of revenue. 1t has checked
land monopoly and returned to the true
policy of the sale OF land to actual set
tiers only. Ii has caused to be adopted
wholesome constitutional amendments
by which we can invest the school
money TO better advantage. 1t has
made wholesome and equitable changes
In the laws. 1t has done these and other
merltorious things and has not been run
by an Nistin ring"

The Houston Jouanal undertakes to
proselyte the LIGHT in the following
sentence; "THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT is
a daisy and no mistake as to its typo
graphical make up" and so we had
grand laugh when it came to us to-day
with half headline. The LIGHT ought
to be Democratic by every law of pro-
priety."n. The LIGHT could not be Dem
ocraticand serve its purpose in proving
othe country at large the peculiarities
of this grand State, and the perfect free
dom Of free thought and free speech on
all occasions, and in the face of l00,-
900 Democratic majority. The LIGHT is
proud Of the friendship Of the State
press, and while II Is and viii be Repub-
lican, yet II will always be Texas, and
to that end will add to the progress and
development Of the State.

IN letter TO his brother, the Editor
Of the Lebanon Free Press, Ex-Governor
Cheney, of New Hampshire, reports n
conversation which he recently had
with a manufacturer in Scotland. The
Scotchman at first assumed as a sufficient
reason for the lower wages in Great
Britain that a dollar would 90 further
there in the purchase of the necessaries
Of life than in this country. Forced
from this position by comparison of
actual prices, the Scotch manufacturer
finally exclaimed "The fact Is, our
workmen do not require so much and
are not accustomed to living so well as
yours do" ''Now," replied Governor
Cheney, "your answer is complete and
satisfactory. This is just the case. Our
workmen are part Of our great Repub-
lie, so closely interviewer with its in
terests that it is hard to draw the divid-
ing line between them and the manu-
faoturer. They fill places of RESPONSE
bility in our churches, our schools, our
benevolent institutions, our hospitals,
all Of our secret societies, as well as all
Of our political organizations. They are
always represented In our municipal
government and in our State Legisla-
lures, and the employed are as much
respected as the employer-tested by
actual merit" rrHI.n .wQ ITf.

The Boerne Advance, in an article
about Mr.. Brackenridge's donation to
the Gulf road, and also the same towards
the Fredericksburg road, says: "Colonel
Breckenridge and the merchants are
well aware that every mile Of road in
this direction will be new artery to
their city daily pouring in loads of
freight and passengers. All along the
line the crops Of corn, oats and cotton,
together with the yearly yield of wool,
would find their way to market by the
help Of the iron horse. All this would
revive the commercial life Of San Anto-
Mo, and 1t is a matter Of vital impor-
lance to her business men to carry out

niynEx the Mulligan charges were
sprung on James G. Blaine" says the
st. Louis Chronicle, "his unparalleled
nerve enabled him TO stand up before
Congress and read the letters which ac-
cused him. The Maria Halpin story
against Cleveland Is not less serious. III
he ignores II or does anything but meet
It manfully and disprove II, II viii go
far towards defeating him. The editor
of the Buffalo Telegraph who published
the story says that he is prepared to
prove in open court that 1t is true In

lenges MIR. Cleveland to give him the
opportunity. IL the story Is true the
editor Of the Telegraph has done his
country good service. II IL is not true,

punishable with imprisonment In the
penitentiary If Mr.. Cleveland hesi-
tates the people will decide"

CoddIing Kelly.

The joy of the Cleveland press over the
passage of a resolution by Tammany Hall to
support the New York Governor contrast
strongley with the abuse heaped upon that
organization and its head about the time
that the latter was warning the Democrats
that the laboring men of New York would
not support Cleveland. Gen. Bragg, of
Wisconsin, told the Democratic Convention
that Democrats admired Cleveland for the
enemies be had made, and the enemies
whom he referred to chiefly were the braves
OF Tammany Hall who were dancing about
the convention hall in their war paint
swearing that they would have Cleveland's
scalp. But when the enthusiasm for CIeve-
land had cooled little it begun to dawn up
on the Democratic managers that without
the support of Tammany Hall Cleveland had
about as good a chance of carrying New
York as he had of carrying Iowa. Then their
railing at Tammany suddenly ceased and
Cleveland was no longer admired for the
"enemies he had made.''
By hook or by crook they have managed
to keep John Kelly from heading an open re-
volt, and their anxiety is somewhat modi-
fed. But it is by no means fully relieved.
Tammany has way of supporting a ticket
openly and knitting it secretly, and it is
feared that this is the kind of support Cleye-
land is to get from that organization. Hence
just now there is much coddling of Kelly
and the organization which Cleveland's
friends few weeks ago affected to despise.
A mayor of New York is elected this year
and it already begins to be limited to Kelly
by the Democratic managers that if he will
do the square thing by Cleveland, Cleveland
will do the square thing by HMM other
words that if Kelly will put some heart into
his support of the Democratic ticket he will
be allowed to control the patronage of the
metropolis. The reform campaign which
Cleveland was to inaugurate is fast degen-
Grating into campaign of trade and dick
er, in which the people of New York are to
be delivered over 10 the tender mercies of
Tammany Hall and all the corruption and
pilfering which the control of municipal af-
fairs by that organization implies. Cleve-
lands civil service reform professions are
fast fading away in his efforts to conciliate
John Kelly and secure the votes of the very
men the mourning of whose enemity only a
few weeks ago was regarded as the chief mer-
it of the Democratic candidate. 1t would be
humiliating indeed to Cleveland if after all his
self abasement and the self abasement of his
friends Kelly should prove obdurate and re-
fuse to give anything more than perfume
tory support to the ticket. And certainly
there are no signs yet that Kelly's heart has
been much softened. He still permits his
paper to describe Cleveland as lump of
putty.

General Francis A. Walker, who is a free
trader, but statistician who is thoroughly
reliable, gives the free trade apologists a
decided set back. They had taken the cen
sus reports and comparing the aggregate
value Of products with the cost of material
and amount of wages paid, adiudged the
the. difference to be the profit of the
manufacturers, and were thus giving
color to their pretense that pro-
lection fostered monopolies and bene-
flied the capitalist at the expense of the
artizan. In reply to an inquiry by The
Philadelphia Press, General Walker says:
"The tables of manufactures in the cen
sus do not show the profits of the manu-
facturers. The law has never required
all items of information necessary
TO determine this fact. We have
the aggregate value of the product on the
one side, and ON the other cost of material
and amount of W ges paid; but we have
not taxes, insurance, superintendent,
freights, wear and tear of capital and COM
mercial losses, no. to speak OF other ele-
ments which would have TO be taken into
account In estimating the net profit of the
employer"

The order passed by the City Council
Tuesday night appropriating $4,000 for
abating the Back Bay nuisance will, we
have no doubt, receive the hearty approval
Of very large majority of the citizens Of
Portland. The expenditure is an absolute
necessity unless we are to allow Portland to
rival Cologne, as Goleridge described it, and
the people of Portland never kick at neces-
sary expenditures.

The acrimonious controversy going on
between the New York World and the
Louisville Courier-Journal as to whether
Cleveland is Freetrader or Protectionist,
is entirely uncalled for. Cleveland has al
ready given his views on the tariff question.
In his letter of acceptance he said he was
In accord with the Democratic platform on
this and every other subject. That settles
his position. He is both Freetrader and
Proteetionist. This may seem incongruous,
but there are many incongruous things
about Cleveland. He is the candidate of a
party which declares that the issues of the
campaign are moral rather than political,
and continues to be, Notwithstanding the
fact that he has been convicted of gross i'm
morality. There appears to be an incon-
gruity here also.

Gov. Cleveland docs not think it in keep

date to take the stump. Therein he differs
from the late Stephen A. Douglas, who
morally and intellectually lowered as far
above Cleveland as the mountain overtops
the molehill.

dorsement of DR.. Ball is equivalent to con-
domination of Gov. Cleveland,

The Democratic New York Journal of
Commerce is not sanguine as to the result
Of the Presidential election, and is candid
enough to put the case precisely as it ap-
pears to It, 1t acknowledges the secession
from the Democratic party, but asks whether
Independents of and from the Republican
party will vote the Democratic ticket to
overbalance the Democratic loss. 1t does
not answer the lnterrogatory it propounds.
But it says, "This is the question which will
decide the result of the November election. !"
Taking that view of it, there can be but
little doubt as to the election of the Republi-
can nominees. In Maine the question is
already answered In New York, judging
alone from facts which appear upon the
surface, aud are beyond dispute, the same
may very confidently be said. The Journal
of Commerce says the Democrats who will
not vote for Cleveland have heretofore been
a disgrace to the party, but it does not deny
the disaffection.
