The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-12-08

Ar THE peoples Democratic meeting
on Saturday night, an allusion was
made to the management of the city
affairs by the present administration,
and while not u direct attack upon
Mayor French, yet it had that appear
ance mildly, but was corrected in time,
and that inference disclaimed. What
ever have been The combinations and
the results Of the late election, it can be
said to the credit Of Mayor French that
as the chief magistrate Of the city he
has done all and singular that could be
expected Of him in every way. lie has
been wise and conservative, and no
where Is there true reflection against
him in the character of Mayor. The
LIGHT has said time and again that
many things should be done, but after
all the bold fact remains that the Mayor
and Council have done all that they
could consoientiously do under the pro-
visions of the present city charter. This
is II tribute due to Mayor French. Under
his administration there have been no
jobs, nor has there been any favoritism,
and when the history of the past few
years comes to be written up, it will be
seen that his administrations were pos
sessed of an average far above the
general.

all CAN be safely laid down as rule"
observes the Observer, "that In these
days of universal advertising. the man
who don't advertise either has nothing
for sale which will bear talking about
or he is SO old and fogyish in his meth
dds of business that he has got so far
behind the times that he will never
catch up. There is no surer evidence Of
snap and energy in business man or
firm than liberal advertising. In the
store or ware rooms of n large adver-
tiser the purchaser finds the latest styles,
the best material, the most approved
patterns, the most advanced business
methods. Advertising pays, not only
in the matter Of attracting customers,
which Is the legitimate aim of all adver-
tisers, but 1t enables the reader to see
who are the really live and energetic
men in any business, and by keeping
them constantly in mind the readers Of

LCGAN'S LETTER.
The Text of Gen. LOgan's Letter Accepting
the Second Place on the Ticket.

The Text of Gen. LOgan's Letter Accepting
the Second Place on the Ticket.
john A. Logan has issued his letter of
acceptance of the Republican nomina-
ton to the Vice Presidency. Regarding
protection to native industry he says:
The resolutions of the platform declaring
for levy Of such duties 'as to afford pro-
lection to the rights and wages of the
laborer to the end that active and intel
ligent labor, as we'll as capital, may have
its just award, and the laboring man his
full share in the National prosperity,
meets my hearty approval. If there be
Nation on the face of the earth which
might, if it were desirable thing, build
wall, upon its every boundary line,
deny communion to all the world and
proceed to- live upon it's own resources
and productions, that Nation is the Unit
ed States. There is hardly legitimate
necessity to civilized communities that
cannot be produced from the extraordi-
nary resources of our several States and
Territories, with their manufactures,
miues, farms, timber lands and water
ways. The circumstance, taken in con-
nection with the fact that our form OF
government is entirely unique among
the Nations of the world, makes it utter
ly absurd to institute comparisons be
tween our own economic system and
those of other Governments, and espec-
tally to attempt to borrow systems from
them. We stand alone in our circum-
stances, our forces, our possibilities, our
aspirations" Regarding foreign rela-
tions Logan takes much the same ground
as Blaine. He is in favor OF the present
banking system. He enters extensively
into the relations of the colored to the
white people of the South, and the al
legged violation Of the electoral rights Of
the colored race. He is in favor of the
highest standard of excellence in the ad.
ministration of the civil service, and will
lend his best efforts to the accomplish
ment of the greatest attainable perfection
in this branch of our service. He says
''The Republican party came into exist
ence in crusade against the Democratic
institutions of slavery and polygamy
The first of these has been buried be
meath the embers of civil war. The party
should continue its efforts until the re
naming iniquity shall disappear from
our civilization under the force of faith
fully executed laws"

ARNOLD's HIDING PLACE.
Interesting Discovery in an Ancient New
Haven Residence.

Interesting Discovery in an Ancient New
Haven Residence.
An interesting discovery was made by
Thomas Alling a few days ago at the old
Benedict Arnold house in Water street,
New Haven, CT. In taking out portion
of the garret floor, he found a vault,
which is supposed to have been used by
Arnold during the war of the revolution
as hiding place for suspects or fugitives
whom he wished to befriend. The lift
ing of some of the garrett floor planking
revealed the pocket or vault underneath.
It is about Al feet deep and six feet
square and is plastered on the sides. Two
or more persons could remain in conceal
ment there without being crowded. The
vault is located by the side of the
large old-fashioned chimney. On the
floor adjacent to the vault formerly stood
large bookcase, and it is supposed that
through this entrance was OBTAINED to
the hiding place. Inside the vault are
plain evidence of a former staircase ex-
tending to a small enclosed space on
another side of the chimney. This place,
which is now plastered up, is supposed
to have been a sort of closet. Whether
Arnold used the vault for secreting Tories
or the patriots, or built it to afford re-
treat for himself, no one knows. That it
should have remained undiscovered IN
til Mr.. Alling accidentally found it shows
that twas well designed for the purposes
which led to its construction.

The Mind-Cure Craze.

Mind-cure is the fashionable Boston
fantasy, and it is being discussed in the
modern Athens with a solemnity which
must positively enchant the fool-killer.
Mind-cure is a method of conquering
disease by resolving that it is not pres
ent. For instance, a man has the tooth
ache; thereupon he undertakes TO per
suade himself that it is in his mind
inst bd Of IN his body and the the theory Tb
basis of the new doctrine is that matter
is a manifestation of mind or spirit.
Following this theory ont, it is argued
that nobody can be sick if they refuse to
believe that they are so. On the same
principle it is held by the advocates OF
the new faith that poisons are only mis-
chievous because they are feared.
