NARROW ESCAPE
ofa Well Known Citizen of South Easton From
Horrible Death.

Ola Well Known Citizen of South Easton From
Horrible Death.
A journalist whose meanderings in search of
news led him into the thriving village of South
Easton, yesterday, found the recent escape of
Mr.. Caleb s. Lothrop, of that place, from
death In one of its most horrible and repulsive
forms to be topic of general comment. In
reply to all inquiries for details the reporter
was invariably told go and see his son
william, up here at tho shoe factory. He'll
post you up"
Mr.. William II. Lothrop. the gentleman
alluded to, was found by the reporter in the
factory Of Messrs. Copeland & HartweI,
where, with rolled up sleeves, he was working
manfully ut his familiar bench. He greeted
his visitor cordially, and expressed his willing
ness to furnish all the information In his
power respecting his fathers case.

SUCH as believe in the freedom of an
unmuzzled press and that no officer is
above criticism and comment should
subscribe to the LIGHT, no matter where
abouts they happen to live in Texas. A
newspaper, attempted to be stricken
down for exercising the freedom of the
press, merits the sympathy and support
OF all men who set store by the freedom
OF the press, and the LIGHT calls on low
ers Of the freedom of the press to send
forward their subscriptions and adver-
tisements. That is the only way to back
up a newspaper, which is sought to be
gagged, muzzled and terrorized by a
secret and irresponsible body, such as is
grand jury, whose proceedings are
under the veil of secrecy and mystery.
Send for the LIGHT and thus practically
aid in the fight for the freedom of the
press. Our brethren Of the press NAV
also soon have the cat-o'-nine-tails of n
secret grand jury laid upon their shout
ders should they dare to pay thin
skinned officer in the same coin rendered
by him-personalities and denunciation.
The man who first throws mud is the
aggressor, and 1t is no ground for an in
dictment for libel If newspaper, when
pelted with mud, returns the compli-
ments with handful or two. The pub
lie is not damaged thereby.

As THE LIGHT does not care to do
things by halves it purposes to extract
some of the superfluous self-conceit and
egotism out Of Mr.. Richard Nelson,
whose letter was published out of cour-
tesy few days ago, simply because it
protested to be reply to one of the ed-
torials of the LIGHT. AS Mr.. Nelson
himself runs newspaper, his proper
course would have been to have replied
through the columns of his own paper,
and not to have levied a tax upon the
space Of the LIGHT. Mr.. Nelson is the
editor Of newspaper, and sets himself
up as the leader of the negroes in Texas,
and complains of the injustice shown his
race in not putting negroes in office, and
for these reasons we shall treat him as
representative Of his race in point of in
telligence and qualifications for office,
and show that even he himself is unfit
to I'LL any considerable public office, as
it should be filed. Public offices are

Cavalry In the Future.

Mr.. NJ. Dancer, a well-known Hunga-
rian writer on military affairs, hiss Just
published in one of the Journals of Pesth
an interesting article on the part that
the Russian cavalry Is destined to play
in any future European war. 1t appears
that the Russian government possesses
3 million horses fit for military service,
and that 1t is making preparations which
will enable it to put 800 600 cavalry SOL
dlers in the field. The Russian officers
have no faith In the cavalry tactics now
taught in Europe IN armies. The Ger
mans, they say, tire out their horses and
i'll treat their men by teaching them
science that is useless in battle; for the
cavalry general of the present day who
would attempt to charge squares and
attack masses of infantry would be con-
sidered lunatic. Toe deadly effect of
modern firearms renders the old tactics
utterly useless. Therefore 1t is pure
waste of time and money to tram hoIs.s
and instruct men IN drills that are with
out value. The cavalry charge, the sa-
Der and the lance have had their day !;
the herse can now have no further util-
ity than that of transporting men with
greater rapiiity. The Russian cavalry
of the future will use only repeating fire
arms of the most modern pattern. They
will be simply mounted infantry, and
will fight on foot, the horses being en-
ployed for transportation only. In the
opinion of Russian military officers this
method will facilitate the rapid concen-
tratlou of fresh troops at given point
The Russian cavalry are now armed with
the b-rdan rifle, and their drill Is much
simplifed. The soldier is only taught
to be good horseman. Three hundred
Thousand men rapidly thrown upon the
western frontier OF II lssia could interfere
with the mobilization of the opposing
armies. hinder their concentration,
spread terror ID the villages and towns,
capture supplies and destroy railroads.
1t will doubtless be some considerable
time before Rlssia can finish her net
work of railroads which will be neces-
sary for the complete execution of this
project; but she already has 120, 900
cavalry soldiers, while Austria has oEIF

which holds populations in constant
dread of some horrible butchery. This
fear is the creation of Germany, this
