Editor San Antonio Light:
Seeing the communication signed
Gallons" in your paper of the sth inst.
leads me to express my concurrence
with what you say Introductory thereto,
viz: that there is too much considera-
tion extendedto cranks. All extremists
are cranks. Herr Most and O'Donovan
Rosa MS well as their polticalantipodes
The propositions made by your cores
pondent are not in harmony with the
principles on which this great govern
ment was founded. Free thought and
free speech were granted constitutionally
to the people of this country in consid-
GRAFTON of the wisdom contained in the
short sentence: ''Put to test and keep
the best" Even such strong-headed
self-ruler, however philosopher. as
Frederick II. of Prussia, expressed more
liberality when he, being informed of
some talk of his subjects, answered, "No
matter what they say, If the laws they
obey" Those who are so much afraid
of Communism are like superstitious
boy. who, in the darkness, is scared by
white towel on the wall, thinking it to
be ghost. BY cool investigation he
would find the abhorred object not only
harmless, but even most necessary in an
orderly household, although it could be
misused for strangling n person. Com
munism is the counterpart of separations;
without its influence the human race
would yet be in state of barbarism, as
all State organizations are founded on
more or less Communistio principles.
Our public school is n Communistic in
stitution, and the late steps taken to i'm
prove them show that the Democratic
party, although opposed to Communis-
tic principles, is, by the spirit of the
times, forced to endorse more and
more thereof. The French word Com
mune means nothing more nor less than
u body % people organized for local po-
litical administrative purposes. Srop.

The Bond Of Sympathy Between Them.

Perhaps Evarts and Logan sympathize
with each other in the similar weakness

Logan admitting the facility with which
the Eastern man can wind out in accor-
dance with grammar.

To Foreign SYndioates.

You are hereby invited to come to
Texas nj d take up your permanent

shaped for your special advantage,
without reference to what may be the
effect upon other and more material
interests. You can lease, II you choose,
principally of land from the state.
Including the choicest and most desira-
lease In body In barbed-wire fence,
choke OF settlement and civilization,
aud keep your lands vast pasture for
the grazing of your stock, untroublsd
by encroaching settlers. The state
deals with you rs n tender mother, and
invites you to come and partake of her
partlality. She guarantees you privi.

MED. You may lease watered
lands but settlers cannot
Dug watered lands. You may
lease any amount 1t suits your purse
and will to lease the settler has his
purchase limited. You have no taxes
to pay ON your land; the settler often

acre amounts to. You are rich; the
settler is poor. ITO him that hath

not shall be taken away even that
which he hath" Is the motto of this
state. True, indeed, your lease is linz
tied to ten years, but this means moth

you have the same chance to take up
the same lands again and hold them
in perpetuity, for there will be no set
tiers botheriug around yeur fences,

Why Texas Is Democratic.


North and West Texas demand free
grass, South and East Texas are com.
bining to take away free grass and
turn our lands over to land syndicates
and rich pastur.nen to be fenced nm
for six and ten years. They are pre.
pairing to do this through the action of
the Democratic party. Now. let ia
see what South and East Texas can do
to keep the state Democratic, since
those sections propose to dictate the
policy of the party.
AT the last election liz counties in
South and East Texas gave Wash
Jones sS,6s7 votes, and John ireland
s2,4s. On the same day North and
West Texas gave John Ireland %. sas
votes and Wash Jones 25,44l. Jones
was the Independent and anti-Demo.
cratic candidate for governor. Ireland
was the candidate OF the Democratic
party of the state, Southern and East
'rn Texas gave Wash Jones 100 ma

A Mistake.

The action Of the Houston conven-
ton In seating the bolting delegation
Of pasturemen from Clay county is
to be regretted. According to the
Spokesman OF the party, Mr.. Swan, the
chief reason why they desired sest
IN the convention was that they
favored the lease law, and since Their
desire was granted 1t must he assumed
that it was granted fos the reason
offered by Mr.. Swan. To encourage
boiling In any form is dangerous Ut
this critical time, aud TO say to party
of men that they are entitled to seats
In the convention because they repre-
sent particular view on puoiic
issue, opens the doors to all who repre-
sent opposite views TO bolt the ticket
as forced upon them. 1t Is well TO
gather sufficient following be-
fore entering the contest, but
recruits should not be obtained
at the sacrifice OF principle
No one Will deny that, were tie p"si
tions of the contesting delegates re-
versed and that a boiling delegation
Of free.grass men came knocking
at the door for admission, they
would have been peremptorily dis
missed without moments considers-
ton. The delegates being in sympa-
thy with the machine were listened To
and, in open violation of all Justice, adj
mitted to seats. This high-handed
manner of conducting u convention
and CONTEMPORARY ignoring and
sitting the voices of delegates In the
minority may bear bitter fruit. Per-
haps the party managers can afford to
lose these votes, but 1t Is not wise to
throw any votes away until we can see
further ahead 1t was an unfortunate
occurrence

The political situation in Massachu-
sets, as far us the Republican outlook
is concerned, is not encouraging, The
Independent movement In that state
is second in proportions only to the
bolt IN New York, and there is much
concern among the Republican mana.
gers as to its effect upon the result. a
most significant indication of Repub-
lican decentralization is expressed in
the complaints of inability to raise
campaign funds. The men who have
been In the habit Of giving liberally to
the campaign fund are now openly
against Blaine or indifferent to his sue
cess, and refuse to open Their purses.
For instance, John NJ. Forbes, long a
member of the national committee.an
who was always good for $4,000 in u
state or national campaign, has de-
clared his opposition to the Blaine
ticket. All the old leaders are out
of the fight, aud new set OF
men have come to the surface,
who have little experience and less
cash, and the solution of the great
problem of raising money naturally is
causing them much anxiety. With
all the old leaders of the Republican
party OF the state in active opposition
or passive indifference, the contest in
Massachusetts becomes one of doubt,
which is not made palmer by the ap-
pearance ofButler in the fight. To
sum up the situation in figures as
given by the Republican state commit.
tee the vote in round numbers will
stand about as follows: Republican,
100000; Democratic, 10000; Republi.
can majority, 10000. 1t is estimated
that Butler will draw 10, 900 votes from
the Republicans and 5000 from tn,
Democrats, leaving the Republicans
some $50, 600 aud l25, 600 for the Demo
Gratis, Cleveland will draw from
the Republicans $1,000 votes
which, added TO the Democrat,
vote increases it to 140,00 ant
diminishes the Republican vote t,
5000, or a minority of 5000 votes il
the state. The consideration of thes,
figures is not giving the Massachusetts
Republicans much comfort.
