"SAN ANToNIo's moral wave," is the
way the outside barbarians speak of the
grand jury report.
TIM Mexia Ledger compliments the
LIGHT in the sentence, "The SAN ANTo-
MO HGHT is one OF the cleanest Repubi-
can sheets in the United States"
"lF nIE Democratic party" says the
Henderson Times, ''refuses to 20 before
the people on the tariff issue. it will be
guilty Of cowardice most culpable and
will not deserve success"
In Is refreshing to read that there is no
split among the Galveston Republicans,
and that when it comes to the main issue
they will act in concert, and If such is
the case the recent wrangle regarding
local primaries was altogether I'M
necessary.
"WnEN murder occurs in Texas"
says the Galveston Print, sit developes
very rapidly and by the time the news
reaches Wisconsin it has become
wholesale massacre and includes
whole settlement. Weread in Northern
exchange that the streets of San Antonio
recently resembled rivers of gore.'
The Daingeriield Herald tells Of hail
storm that visited Morris county on
Monday night last, which ruined all
the fruit trees, destroyed all vegetation,
knocked holes in the roofs of houses and
killed and manned birds, chickens, pigs
and young calves. The storm lasted
about 10 minutes and many of the stones
were as large as goose eggs.
The st. Louis Chronicle has the fol-
lowing good words for Ochiltree ''Con-
gresham Oohiltree is Republican, he
has red hair, he comes from Texas and
he has n reputation which puts Mum
chausen's to the blush, yet his speech on
the Lasker resolutions last week as it
appears in the Congressional Record is
as good speech as could have been
made by any man in Congress. Mr..
Ochiltree is evidently not so lurid by
shade or two as he has been painted"
The Philadelphia Record, a genuinely
Independent paper. says that the Repub-
lican convention at Chicago can not
avoid recognition of the great merits
and success of Arthur's administration.
Having done this" says the Record,
sit will be a hazardous venture in the
convention to make an experiment on
the temper of the country with some
candidate whose fitness for the dis
charge of the duties and responsibilities
ofthe Presidential trust is not known
The new born hostility to the two
thirds rule by portion of the Bourbon
party must have had its birth in the
conviction that Governor Ireland could
not obtain two-thirds vote, and could
only be nominated by a majority. The
LIGHT believes that Ireland can be de-
feated. No fence cutter sympathizer
will vote for him, under any circum-
stances, and the stockmen are consid
erably disgruntled. The Bourbon press
is too blind to realize the fact that
Ireland will be on the defensive from
the start.
IT IS told of man who once made an
immense fortune by attending to his
own business, and the same thing is an
plicable to those of the papers of the
State who are publishing bloodthirsty
and sanguinary editorials to have some
body rise up in majestic indignation and
wipe the Vaudeville theatre of San An
tonic from off the face of the earth. The
laws in San Antonio are enforced, on an
average, about as well as any other city
of its size, and offenders are brought to
Justice as quickly, and If the Winding of
