The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-02-05

RECENTLY lot OF stock was captured by
the custom authorities on the Rio Grande
near Laredo, which band Of smugelers were
attempting to cross over into Texas. Eleven
in all of the gang have been arrested. and
some Of the property was released by Colonel
Nelson Plato, Collector, upon proper repre-
sentation Of the owners of proof OF ownership.
This action has been the cause OF creating a
tone of excellent good international feeling,
because the Mexican owners had almost be-
lieved il was useless to make a claim for their
stolen horses and mules, when seized as
Struggled. and through this action of the
United States Government officials, general
good feeling along the border has been de-
veloped. The LIGHT understands that this
policy will be continued, and further that the
officials intend in every instance OF theft and
smuggling to visit swift punishment upon the
smugglers of stock, and will release promptly
the property to owners for expectation home,
upon proof by reputable and responsible
claimants. This is the right policy, and II is
hoped that a reciprocity Of interest in this re-
gard will manifest itself in Mexico. The OPP
portunity exists for an outcome of much good
with respect to this matter, and since it was
started so well on the American side, let
Mexico, through her officials, evidence her
disposition in the same direction towards our
people. Then the officers can jointly protect
the revenue and commerce on the Rio Grande.
Such an international policy will hasten q
solution Of all the border difficulties in the
custom service, and rebound to the comfy
Of nations.

Enlightenm for Bro. McMul
lin.


We are pained-deeply wounded, in
fact and pride--to read the following
in last weeks Jefferson Democrat:
An exchange asks, "hovS long will Mr..
Morse be q candidate for Congressw We
can not answer, but we can say that he has
a right to be as long as he chooses, as this Is
free country; and we can ask another
question, just as pertinent: SHOW long are
the people of this district expected to keep
Mr.. Clardy in Congressw It is not good
idea to make change when Congressman
has developed superior ability, but we do
not think Mr.. CPS most ardent admirer will
question the statements that there are at least
one hundred men in the district, who would
and could represent the State as creditably
and ably as he. He has been honored with
three terms, and there are others as worthy,
who may possibly have aspirations; yet, If
he is again the choice Of the Democracy, we
Gre for him.
The above was called forth by an
item in the REGISTER to or three weeks
since. We reproduce 1t entire:
Hon. Jno. II. Morse is out again for Con-
gress, we see. Willthe gentleman be SO kind
as to inform an anxious public how long he
proposes to run, in the event Of his defeat
before the nominating convention? He has
been so "mighty onsartain" heretofore that
some suspicious persons believe the above
question to be relevent, competent and full
of meat.
Now of course this refers solely to this
years race: what Mr.. Morse may con-
clude to do In 1885, or 1883, or In any
future campaign, no one cares to both
er himself in 1884. But inasmuch
as Mr.. NJ. in 1882, after the Democratic
Convention had set down on him, was
strongly inclined to contest Mr.. Clar-
dy's election at the polls in November,
we believed it pertinent to inquire
what he intended to do this year II the
convention again refused to give him
the nomination. We think our mean
ing was clearly expressed, but for Bro.
MACS exclusive benefit we give this
elaboration. The assertion that There
are at least one hui lred men IN the
DISTRICT the equalsf Mr.. Clardy, may
or may not be true; but We want mons
of them who will not stand by the de
cision,,o of the party. -

Mr.. GIBBS INTERVIEW

SENATOR GIBBS, in his interview in
the Post, says that the lease system
was devised in the interest of the actual
settler, and in order that the land might
be preserved for settlement. He saws
That the principal opposition in the SEN
ate to the actual settler policy came
from the West, and that some of the
Representatives from that section
claim that the land should be sold
cheaply and in quantities to suit pur-
chasers, and without restrictions, SO ms
to increase the taxable values of that
section. They were supported in this
position by some OF the Representatives
from the East and South because of the
resulting increase in school fund. The
friends OF the actual settler policy
had to adopt the lease system
or submit to a continuation of
the then prevailing policy of sell
ing the land in unlimited quantities.
The Senator says that there was large
majority of representatives i'm the Leg
islaluro who demanded revenue from
this school land; and that if the lease
system fails it will he found that ma
Jority will force a return Of the Roberts
policy by largo sales, and this will effect

chasers will never part with the land
until 1t becomes too valuable for grazing
purposes. IL will then he out of reach

TIE QUESTION OE MATER

After over three weeks of dry weather
Dallas finds her supply Of water getting
short. The source of supply is Browdcr
Springs, upon which the city depends
for fire eXtinguishing,d drinking and gen
eral house-keepingpur poses.T The popular
belief is that the city is in danger of a
water famine if the dry weather
continues. Dallas has been in the same
uncomfortable situation before, so that
the question is not one of lack of expert
ence. The HERALD is no captious fault
finder in matter Of such great impor-
lance TO this city. 1t feels a deep inter
est in seeing the problem Of water
supply successfully solved. To this
end it would not keep silent in the
present emergency, but would impress
upon the public the value OF prompt
action of some sort. The proper steps
taken by the people, either in the way
Of public consultation, or by moral
support of their city officers, would set
on foot ample means for settling
the troublesome, eyer-recurring ques-
ton Of short wator-supply. The city
has now over nine million dollars of
taxable values within her limits. Her
fixed position as commercial cen
ter is attracting investors and
wholesale dealers. Her healthy rec
ord induces new settlers. But with
an every-summcr visitation of a water
famine, or even Il threatened situation
Of this kind, there will be a correspond
ing indisposition to put faith in our 9th
erwise uneXccptionable advantages. So
far the Sutterings of the people Of the
city are not such as to create panic
Among the poor, those really not able
to bear misfortune that involves ex.
pcnsa in obtaining water, the suffering
IS of no small moment. If no other
solution Of the dilemma presents
itself why not encourage persons
who are able to erect water-works, or to
enlarge those now in use, to come for
ward with their propositions. And il
the people want extra water facilities
let them, before propositions are called
for, signify their readiness, in some
proper manner, to sustain their officials
in the premises. 1t would seem that
the main question to decide is whether
the present water supply is or is not
inadequate for the city, and if it is in.
adequate to apply a remedy.

from Elmo yesterday evening, notifying
them to look out for one Z. b. Adams,
who was on the train going east, and
arrest him if found, as he was charged
with killing Tom Adams, at Elmo, on
the day before. On the arrived of the
train he was found and was arrested.
He made no effort TO conceal his iden-
tity; said that he and the Young man
that he was accused of killing were
cousins; that they had a difficulty a day
or two previous to the killing
but that he was innocent, and made no
objection to going back. The remains
of Tom Adams, the murdered man, were
found in the prairie near Elmo soon
after the quarrel with the accused. This
circumstance has led to the suspicion
and arrest Of this man. He was taken
back to Elmo this morning in charge Of
OfficerNewman, and will be delivered tc
the authorities at that place.
