The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-10-30

THE politicians Of the Democratic par
ty have never been able to escape from
the treadmill, where tn ere is much mo-
tion, but not aparticle ofprogress. The
Southern wing Of the Democracy has
shown an inveternte repugnance to
progress, and has earned the name of
Bourbons purely by its inability to learn,
or forget anything. The advent Of the
Democracy to national power, at this
time, would be but little short Of n grave
national calamity. II would be the sig
nal for reaction, and for retrograde
measures will calculated TO hamper the
progress of the union.

The Times is either very stupid and
thlck-headed, or possesses much more
craftiness than righteousness. 1t de-
votes cataract Of words to an article
Of the LIGHT, forecasting the campaign
Of 1886, but utterly fails to SO much as

is wisdom in the Times, as its forte does
not consist In argument and reasoning.
1t acts wisely In trying different chute.
The remarks Of the LIGHT, as is appa-
rent on the face Of them, were levelled
at persons holding political offices, and
none others, and the Times was so hard
pushed that 1t was forced to resort to a

HEALTH AND CLIMATE.
All health seekers. whether from Northern
or Southern States, should try the climate of
the Iableland. The recent United States
Census shows it to be almost the only district
east OF the Rocky Mountains, entirely ii Zee from
malarial, pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has double climate, one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and invig" ating.
The water is freestone; cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is u deg.
Fair, and in winter 81 deg Fair. The
nights are always cool and refreshing.
The soil is sandy loan upon a mulatto
clay subsoil. 1t is light, friable, holds manure.
is easily cultivated and responds readily and
generously to the least fertilizer. T., So.
CROPS AND GRASSES. /,
Corn, wheat rye, oats, and barley all grow
we'll, though this is not claimed as a grain
growing soil. Tobacco is profitable crop,
here, as also is sorghum. Herd grass, orchard
grass. German and pearl milet, timothy and
red clover have all been tried, and take hold
and root well. Kentucky blue grass also
thrlves wherever introduced. The natural
pasturage is abundant. g
w VEGETABLES l"i f'H
Grow abundantly. Cabbage; onions, beans.
sweet and Irish potatoes all make a fine return.
The irish potatoes are unexcelled by any
grown, in America. Sweet potatoes and onions
yield 500 bushels per acre.
FRUIT AND GRAPE CULTURE. ''''
This region is especially adapted to fruit.
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
known to fail. The trees are healthy, ard the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy and firm. rarely
ever speaking or rotting. THE grape is also a
sure crop where. proper varieties are planted.
The vines are robust, and the grapes make
excellent wines, which are in good demand.
These two fruits are destined to, BECOME the
great and staple products of the rablelahd.
Strawberries, blackberries raspberries, cur
ra is, cherries, plums, and nearly all the small
'ruits thrive and bear POLITICALLY. III TT ''

King Rene aud Don oossacE.

King Rene took the premium last week,
at st. Louis, over Don Cossack. Both horses
were exhibited with five of their get. A cor
respondent of the Spirit gives the following
particulars: the Cation stock farm, Joliet
H.. showed Don Cossack, son of August
Belmont and Latham Lass, with five of his
get-Jeannette, two years old, out of Lottie,
by Bashaw Drury; Cossack Maid, two years
old, out of Louisville Maid; the yearling,
Sarah Cossack, out of Kate Carmen, and two
weanlings, Cossack Lass, full sister to Cos
sack Maid, and Royal Cossack, out of May
Queen-as fine lot of young trotters as
have ever seen exhibited at the st. Louis
fair, aud have seen all that have been eX-
hibited in the ring of that institution during
the last twenty years. On Friday last, In
the ring for the best two-year-old horse,
mare or gelding, for light buggy purposes,
out of twenty odd really good ones shown,
there is not one that Jeanette could not go
away with rs easily as a locomotive could
leave u hand-car. She not only out-speeded
them, but out styled them. She has record
of 2:40, which | think, is the fastest record OF
any northern bred two-year-oId. The wean
every one in the amphtheare and arena: she
is iaultless in form, and prettier than a
picture.
Col. II. C. Mcdowell, of Lexington, KY,
had on exhibition the successful trOtting sire
King Rene (son OF B timont and B.andina.)
and five Of his get, prominent among them
being tue four-year-old mare Fugue, and the
two-year-old Susie Bedford. Both of these
FLIES are not only fine lockers, bnt remark
ably fast trottcrs. King Rene took the
breeders premium over Don Cossack, as he
could scarcely iail doing under the circum-
stances, having four-year olds, who had
proved themselves to be irst-class trotters,
by his side, while Cossack could only show
two-year ODDS, yearlings and weanlings.
They are both grand horses, and the produce
in the future only can prove which will be
the best trotting sire.

BOLD SLUGGING AFFAIR.
Assistant Secretary of State Nordin
and Mr.. Luhrsen Knocked Down
Oh Rice Street.

A serious attempt at smuggling and high
way robbery took place on Rice street about
IL O'Clock Saturday night, the victims to
which were Mr.. A. F. Nordin, assistant sec
rotary of state, and Mr.. Robert Luhrsen.
About the hour named they We're proceeding
along Rice street on their way home from
the Republican mass meeting held at the
corner of Western and University avenues,
when two men stepped from a concealed
nook and confronted them.
The highwaymen and sluggers cody mouop-
olized the sidewalk. and as Mr. Nordin and
his friend approached one of the rascals ex-
claimed: been TO political meeting have
YOU'D" to which Mr.. Nordin responded
Yes
The sluggers then asked him if he had a
good time, to which he answered in the af-
hrmative, whereupon the strangers hauled
of and struck him couple OF terrific
blows in the face, either of which was painful
enough to knock him down. He fell to the
sidewalk in a dazed condition and was re-
stored to his senses BY the operations Of the
fellow who was examining the contents OF
his clothing. Mr.. Nordin cried police at the
top of his voice when the slugger gave him
parting blow and he and his companion
skipped.
While this was going on Mr.. Lubrseu was
receiving similar treatment, being also
knocked down by the other william. The men
secured no booty, but Mr.. Nordin carries a
black eye ana a badly cut lip as reminders
of the treatment. The affair was reported to
the officer on the beat, but as the men fled in
the darkness no arrests were made.

The George rtkcs gstock.

Mr.. George w. Sherwood, of St. Paul.
who has a splendid two-year-old George
Wilkes stallion colt, will be greatly pleased
to learn that the produce of this distinguished
sire is still pressing to the front. Young or
old, it is all the same, and everything bred
through him seems to have been given speed
in an unusual degree. The THrf FieId and
Farm, in speaking of the Lexington meet
ing has the following to say:
The fair grounds track at Lexington is fast
this fall. On Monday, at the meeting of the
Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders associa-
ton, Johnston paced paratively easy
mile in 2:0S, and the two-year-old colt OF
Eagle Bird, by Jay Bird, dam by George
Wilkes, made a record Of 2:3014, thus eelips-
ing the 81 Of $3.50. Jay Bird is roam
stallion, standing sixteen hands, got by
George Wilkes, out of q mare by Mambrino
Star (son of Mamhrino Chief, and four
years ago he won the Kentucky stakes, for
two-year-olds, at Lexington. He promises
to be very fast, but developed weak ten
don, and was then placed in the stud. Ea-
gle Bird speaks we'll for hun. The two-year-
old record still belongs to California. The
2:2l of Wildfower was phenomenal aud il
may stand for long time. Ia the 2:25
class, Mr.. McFerran's young stallion, Pan
coast, defeated field of ave and reduced
his record to 2:21S{, which is within a
quarter of second of that of his sire, Wood
ford Mambrino, 2:21JS. The dam of Pan
cost WAS Bicara, by Herod, AMI the second
dam was Belle (dam Of Belmont and Baby
Miue), by Mambrino Chief.
