The most peculiar thing about the
Cleveland scandal is that Mr.. Cleveland
himself has never denied 1t and that no
Buffalo paper has as yet denied 1t, and
all denunciation Of Rev. Ball viii not

Telegraph denies the story, 1t will be
perfectly satisfactory to the country, be-
cause lint paper stands ready to prove

SECRETARY EDWARD MCPHERSON, Of
Washington, speaking Of the political
situation, says: "Mr. Buffers candi-
dacy will not injure Republican pros
poets either as to the Presidency or the
next House; that in some Of the West
ern States it may help the Republican
candidates for Congress by preventing
complete fusion of the Democrats and
Greenbackers; that in several States a
great many Democrats, who are bitterly
hostile to Cleveland but who could hard
ly go so far as to vote for Blaine, will be
glad Of an opportunity to vote for But
Ter on account of his tariff views, and
that, on the whole, Buffers candidacy
will greatly simplify the situation in sew
eral important respects. For example, ,
said Mr.. Mcpherson, General Buffers
announcement that he will await the
publication Of Cleveland's letter before
writing his own will make 1t necessary
for Cleveland to be plain and specific in
dealing with the tariff question. He
cannot afford to straddle 1t after the
notice he has received of General But
ler's purpose"

THE FL Paso Lone Star says: "A new
campaign paper at San Antonio is TO
crush out the LIGHT and carry Texas
for Blaine" The thought of such a
scheme is only equalled by its folly.
Whenever the LIGHT Is crushed out by a
campaign paper, it will be an exceed
ingly cold, damp day for newspapers
generally. This paper has not been
four times enlarged over its original
size for nothing Its proprietors are
practical printers, and are fully compe-
tent to keep it up to its present stand
ard, and will do il at all times, and the
matter is alluded to here simply in order
to show how ridiculous such PROPOSE
tion is. Campaign papers as a class are
sensitive buds, and the next day after
the election frosts are most generally
too dead to speak about. OF course
there is an abundance Of room in San
Antonio for an enterprise Of the kind,
but II will not be at the expense Of the
LIGHT. which is Republican from prln-
clple and not for money, and Is too
deeply interested in the local affairs and
prosperity of the city.

SAN ANTONIO, is swarming with indie
pendent Democrats who mean TO kick
the bottom out of the "machine" and
cast of the yoke of the ward bosses.
The kickers are the veterans Of the De-
mocracy. 1t is an excellent thing to
knock the "maohine" TO pieces and re-
store TO men their right Of private judg-
ment and manhood. Homer was clearly
in the right when he declared that a
man lost half his worth and manhood
on the day that he became slave; the
slave of political ring or clique proves
the truth of Homer's saying, as mental
slavery is more degrading than bodily
servitude.

situated on the northwest corner Of King and Ala

Once inside, the perpetrators (who we're well sup

clothing silk handkerchiefs, iewelry and other
articles amounting in value in the aggregate to
81 900. They then retired With the goods, using
the means of entrance as that of exit, halting
temporarily in an out building, probably TO tie the
goods in suitable bundles, and decamped. Capt.

been made TO force open the money drawer tie
marks of chisel being plainly discernable there
