A PROTEST
OF a Correspondent Regarding
the Times.

Editor San Antonio Light;
The Times has published several
specials from Austin in which the pro-
ceedings Of United States Commissioner
Spann against Governor Ireland are
called an outrage and an insult to the
State OF Texas. 1t is even limited that
the Commissioner might experience an
application Of violence should he show
himself In Austin.
The Times, allowing such sentiments
to be published in its columns, must be
regarded as indorsing the same. If the
Commissioner proceeds against the Gov
ernor as he would against any other per-
son charged with similar oflense, he is
not doing more nor less than what he
ought to do according to his oath of
office I; that Is, to administer justice with
out fear or favor. The principle of
equality before the law is one of the cor
ner stones of our free institutions. and
whoever pleads for allowing exceptions
Of 1t in consideration of wealth, power
or distinction is, knowingly or not, aid
ing to create privileged class or aris-
tooracy. A straw frequently shows
which way the wind blows. o. NJ.

pie. The wonderful skill of many ply

touched, but in millions of cases they
don't know how to cure, use poisoning,

dition. Every sick person should make

THE GERMAN VOTE.
An Attempt to Prejudice Them
Against Mr.. Blaine.

Editor san Antonio Light.
The Times OF the 10th instant, over
the signature OF democrat" contains
an appeal "to the German voters who
are Republicans" not TO vote for Blaine
because Of his being Prohibitionist.
To prove this assertion the writer has
not an action, speech, utterance or even
one word OF Mr.. Blaine to refer to, but
bases II on the fact that the accused held
no Office Except that OF Secretary Of
STATED but what he was elected to by the
people Of Maine, being the first State
where prohibitive laws were enacted.
In his desire to injure Mr.. Blaine the
writer succeeded only in making laugh
ing-stock Of himself by asking the
Germans "a people known for cool reflec-
tion and sense Of justice) to condemn a
man on such weak argument and with
out any evidence against him. The
Germans know very well that II was In
consideration OF other and by great
deal graver questions than the prohibi-
tion OF alcoholic drinks that the
people OF Maine selected this man
to represent their views and take
care of their interests and those OF
the nation, and they were not disap-
pointed by him. From day to day he
gained and deserved more the confidence
not only of his constituents, but of all
those who loved and wished to perpet
uate the union, and 1t is on the strength
Of this yet prevailing sentiment that he
will be elected our next President.
As yet the Texas Democracy has no
cause to be so loud in condemning Re-
publican prohibition proclivities, be-
cause In enacting local option and Sun
ality. A GERMAN VOTER.
