they penetrate the intended fraud, they
despse the trick sought to be played OF
on them, and they win vote against
party which stoops to, such wilful
deception and fraud. Every man 10 his
senses sees that the object was TO put
mp job on the people. and fix up
platform that might admit OF half
dozen constructions. In spite OF the
meal the cat is plainly to be seen. The
disguise Is too thin to deceive any save
such as desire to be deceived, because II
suits their interests to be deceived.
Protection Democrats, North and South,
are not at all deceived. They recognize
the cat through the meal daubed over
her, and they dcspise the attempt TO
trick them out Of their votes. Here In
Texas protection Democrats will quietly
vote for Blaine and the Republican can
didates for Congress In order 10 secure
protection, but they will make no noise
about 1t, as they do not care TO subject
themselves to n sluioe Of mud and dirty
water for nothing. They are clearly
right. Votes alone count.

The cat, finding the mice thought
shy" Of her, tried the device of rolling
over in the meal tub, so MS to change
her outward appearance, and so deceive
the mice as to her identity as that they
would come within the reach Of her
springs, but she remained, to all intents
and purposes, the same sly, cunning,
perfldious old cat she ever had been.
The mice penetrated the fraud, and
kept away. The Democrats at Chicago
initiated the cat, and wallowed around
in the meal tub In order to leave their
identity In doubt. The Democratic
party has always been hostile to pro-
tective tariff except during the pen
dency of Presidential election, when
1t wallowed over In the meal tub. The
Chicago tariff plank is opposed to pro-
lection, but, as votes are wanted, II
sprinkles meal over 1t and leaves the
meaning In doubt with the hasty reader.
The Express and Epson fell into the
trap, and are willing to make affidavit
that 1t Is for protection. That idea is
all bosh. The Democratic party is no
more able to change its position respect
Ing tho tariff than an Ethiopian can
change his color, or leopard HIS spots.

ordinance exempting all factories from
taxation for 10 years. Texas is awaking

ment of her vast resources, notwith-
standing her superior agricultural and
stock raising facilities. The City Coun-
Gil OF la Grange, in that State, recently
passed an ordinance exempting from
taxation all capital invested in manu-
featuring enterprises. Why don't some

As A double campaign, National and
State, will open soon in Texas, and will
necessarily generate a good deal Of heat
and excitement, the LIGHT takes this
occasion to give bit OF advice to the
colored people Of the State, which may
prove beneficial both to themselves and
the Republican party, If 1t be acted
upon. Colored men should hold no
secret political meetings as the doing SO
gives rise to the idea that they are en-
gagged in some scheme against the peace
of the community, and this suspicion
soon comes to be accepted as fact.
Colored men have legal right to hold
public meetings and they should hold
none other than public meetings, as 1t
shows they have no unlawful purposes
in view. The next thing is for colored
men to let mean whisky alone on the
days on which they have their political
meetings. All drunken men are fools
at their best and apt to provoke difficult
ties unnecessarily. There is no cause
for antagonism between the races, and
both races ought to strive to keep down
anything OF that kind, on the ground Of
Its being detrimental to the public well
fare, but the colored people should be
sure to act right themselves, and by this
we mean they should act in peaceable
and lawful manner. They viii lose
nothing by pursuing this course, ON the
contrary, they will gain largely, as II
will demonstrate that they possess pru-
dence and self control, and are not the
mere slaves Of impulse and passion. Let
us have quiet and peaceful campaign.
