streets and sewers, and it begins to look as il
the days of mossbackism had passed for good,
Judging from the expressions OF the candidates

is only necessary to use good business judg-
ment and get men who willrepresent the city S

POPULAR opinion is beginning to see the
mistake that has been made IN the fence
cutting troubles. Crime is crime, however
much It may be palliated and condoned, and
the indifference displayed by the officials in
the early days Of the troubles has had the
effect to encourage the evil until now it has
become so wide spread as to be alarming.
Communism in any form is to be feared, and
while there are always two sides to every
question and to every conflict, yet there is Blu,
one code Of laws, and they should be sustained
and upheld at the cost of all sentimental SIN
and every local prejudice, aud that is where
Governor Ireland has been found wanting and
what will in the future mark his administration
as being very weak and extremely vacillating-
He may be good Governor but he is poor
officer.

THE size of the LIGHT makes it quite incon-
venient to print long communications and let
tiers, and while it desires to open its columns
to all whose views on local questions are of
interest, yet many Of the letters received daily

our correspondents a pointer, to use Null
doonism, and that is. "boil it down." say
what you desire to in as few words as possible,

"REMINISCENCES of 50 years in Tex
as" by John J. Linn, Of Victoria, has been
received by the LIGHT. 1t is book Of nearly
400 pages, and while there is much that is
new of the unpublished history of the early
days Of the State, yet the author has simply
given ii with the events Of his life and his
times in a most entertaining and interesting
manner. All books on Texas are good books
and those which relate to the privaiion and
struggles of so years ago should be particu-
larry welcomed and carefully read. The men
who made the early history of the State are
passing away, and while it may not be new at
the present time, yet II cannot be rehearsed
too often. Mr.. Linn has appropriately dedi-
Gated his book to his "Old comrades living
and dead whose fortitude rose SUPERIOR 10
the trials Of privation and want, and
whose fidelity TO the eternal principles Of truth
and justice was only surpassed by their here
ism on the field"

SPEAKING of General Mackenzie, the Two
Laredos says: "The unfortunate condition
Of General Mackenzie is a cause OF deep re-
greet to all Texans. This gallant and enter
prising officer won his rank and reputation by
operations either on Texas soil or in behalf of
Texan interests, aud none lament more sin
cerely the fact that he is under the power of a
fearful malady than the people whom he had
benefited and among whom he had spent so
large portion Of his life."

The verdict Of not guilty by the jury in the
Emma Bond outrage case, Of Hillsboro, ILL
nois, on Tuesday, is eccentric because it is
devoid Of all sentimentalism. The prosecu-
ton at the trial relied upon circumstantial
evidence, and the henrsay testimony Of Jail
birds for its hopes Of conviction, and after a
long and tedious trial, where all the arts and
articles Of cunning legal lights were used, the
jury failed to convict, and 1t probably will be
the end Of the famous case, at least until the
guilty conscience Of the perpetrators force
then to make confession. A movement to

AN UP COUNTRY paper says the LIGHT
''don't know its own politics from barn
door," That may all be, but when the LIGHT
stirs up the outside papers they all will with
one accord class it as the most radical Of
Republicans. But the fact is the LIGHT
cares less for politics than anything else. Its
aim is business. Its purpose is to be a good
local paper for San Antonio, and the State
afterwards, and to that end bends its energies.
The LIGHT never goes out, and itsreaders are
always posted and well informed.

A KISS NOT A LEGAL CONSIDERATION

What is kiss? The question can
only be answered by experience: SOL
citur OSculdndO. But it is easy after
decision in the Lambeth County
Court recently TO say what a kiss is
not. 1t is not a legal "considera-
tion." \ surgeon in Lambeth kissed
u workingman's wife; the husband
valued the kiss at f5, and the sur
geon gave him an | o L for that
amount. \ month after date an
action was brought on this document,
but the Judge promptly ruled there
was no consideration and gave n
verdict for the defendant. Perhaps
the lady was in Court, and the Judge
may have been influenced by that.
For even the poets admit that there
are ''kisscs and kisses;' the inter-
esting question is whether the judg-
ment was meant TO lay down gen.
eral principle, or whether every case
must be decided on its merits. -

BEECAER'S LUXURIOUS HABITS.

Mr.. Beecher has directed his man

lecturing tour for next year. Mr..

mum. He averages to receive d
double this sum from his lectures,
and large additional sum from his
pen. lie is not rich, however, lie
keeps open house with his son, with
whom he resides), and gives loans,
indorses and does other unbusiness-
like things constantly, at heavy
cost to his treasury. 1t is said that
beyond his farm at Peekskill, the
house and stock thereon, and his
library and bric-a-brac there and at
Brooklyn, the word-painter has moth
ing to show for his large income for
each of very many years. His library
is so large that it is now being cata-
logued with view to soon making
n sale thcrefrom. lie has expended,
it is estimated, sl30,000 in books,
and as many more have been given
him by publishers. His house at
Peelkskill, built not long since, Mr..
Beechcr says, has cost him $40, 600.
Others who watch business matters
closer and are familiat winh its
growth, say that $4,000 would be
nearer the correct sum. His cows

blicvcd,to be worth $l5, 900 to $751;
600. His farm and its hummer Of
running and open hospitality is
enough in itself to absorb large in
come. 1t is yet somewhat incum-
bered. His collection of bric-a-brac
