"VERMoNT has State election on the
first Monday in September, and will
therefore, in a certain sense" says the
New York Tribune, 'open the campaign.
Maine will have IN election six days
later, and will doubtless show large
Republican majority. Concerning Ohio,
which is an October State, there is little
room for doubt. 1t has gone Republi-
can in seven consecutive Presidential
elections, and the best judges predict an
increased majority this fall. West Vir-
ginia is the only other October State,
and there are not wanting indications
that Mr.. Blaine's great personal popu-
larity will easily carry it for the Repub-
licans. West Virginia has been regarded
as n Democratic State since 1870, al
though an Independent Democrat was
elected Governor in 1872 by the aid of
the Republicans. General Grant also
carried the State the same year on ac-
count Of disaiiection among the Demo-
Gratis. The Democratic majority in the
State Is now very small, and there is q
strong protectionist sentiment among
the Democrats, which will doubtless
cause many of them to vote the Repub-
lioan ticket. With the prestige arising
from victory In these two September
and two October States, Mr.. Blaine's
success in November would be merely a
question of majority"

Mr.. GEORGE PFEUFFER, Chairman of the
Tenth Congressional district, has issued
a call for Democratic convention to
meet at New Braunfels on Thursday,
August IA, to nominate candidate for
Congress. There seems to be number
of patriots who have lightning rods up
for this particular political plum, but
they do not appear to be over confident
that they will get hit at that convention.

much put out by Miss Painters poem
read at the Texas editorial convention
entitled "The Butchery of La Purisi-
ma" which was published in the LIGHT.
The following translation is from the
pen Of very prominent writer of that
city on the subject
With great pleasure have we read
well written article that was published
in the Gaoeta de los Estudiantes CHE
Students Gazette) edited by our dis
tinguished young friend Don Julio Co
Undo, in reference to an Infamous COM
position of a visionary Yankee, Miss
Alwana Painter, entitled ia MantanZa
de Ia Purisima" for The Butchery of la
Purisima) the scene of action having
been in this city, and which appeared in
the American newspaper, the SAN An
TONIC LIGHT, of the 18th of May last.
Indeed our dreaming literary cousin
does not lack vim to pen her contracted
writings and spit upon us her bad pro-
duotions containing such absurdities
and falsehoods. Shame, let shame or
Ignorance fall upon the calumniators,
shame or Ignorance for their Infamous
liars who try to stain us with the mud
that covers them. But little can we add
to what Senior Galindo has said. On
one of the pillars Of the bridge alluded
to the following inscription can be read,
in which 1t is said that 1t was con-
structed In the year 1907. Now, then,
the first group Of Americans that came
to this city were those that surrendered
to General Arredendo at Solola
Marina in the year 1912 or 1913
1t is true, Miss Painter, that the dates
coincide. AT the bridge OF La Purisima
some Americans were Killed, that is true
but this took place In the year 1916
when, having attempted to enter the
city by that point, they were repulsed al
the point of the bayonet and put to flight
by the forces, headed by the gallant
General Francisco Mejia. To close, We
will advise Miss Alwana to implore hel
Jupiter to send her another poetica
deity, because truly, the one that in
spired her, besides being stupid, is ais,
something Of a liar.

He Is next to fool who will not take
care of his own interests and that what
concerns his prosperity, and because the
sheep men of Texas declared for protec-
ton, they are severely denounced by
Democratic papers. The following,
from the Coisicana Courier, shows to
what extent the free trade wing of that
party push their intolerance, and how
quickly they resent any spirit of politi-
cal independence: awhile we can not
consistently blame sheep men or any
other class of men, for seeking to adj
vance their own interests by every legiti-
mate means, we think they are tran
scending their rights in attempting to
make their calling superior to all others
and, with the air Of an autoorat, COM
handing all interests to bow to their
exactions. The sheep men of Texas
form but II small portion Of the voting
population, and their product but n
small share Of the total products Of the
State, and they pay as little tribute to
the other classes of business men as any
other one class in the world, and it
strikes us as 'cheek'-to say nothing
of 'gall'-for them TO assume this die
tatoral position"

pointed sentence: "While in obedience

from the sloughs and slums of the city
for stealing small sums, Jet us not neglect
the guilty in high places who steal large
sums and are amenable to the same law.
One thief Of this class does more harm

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph wants
Northern readers to note carefully two
"cases" which were before the Superior
court in that city on Monday, and here,
for the benefit Of all such. they are in
its own language: 1.-TWO negroes were
up for breaking the law. One for steal
ing hog and the other for burglary. In
one case the owner OF the hog begged
for clemency, and in the other case the
party whose place was robbed sub
scribed literally toward paying lawyer
to defend the prisoner"
''SAN ANTONIO maintains three most
excellent dailies," says the Corpus
Christi Critic, "the Express, the LIGHT
and the Times, a fact that conclusively
proves the prosperous condition of that
city and Its early development as the
metropolis Of Western Texas. In the
liberal support given these papers, the

A PET SNAKE IN THE FAMILY.-A letter
in the Bamberg Chronicle, written from FL
more, in this State, says: A famil y resid-
ing near here has, perhaps, the most ssingu-
lar pet in the United States. 1t is harm
less garter snake, and perhaps measures two
feet in length. 1t was found among some
flower pots on the window sill one morning,
and as the family have never had that aver
sion to snakes which is so general, 1t was
allowed to remain in the house, and soon
became domesticated. They named it Cleo
patra, and when it is called it comes gliding
over the floor to whoever calls it. tits very
affectionate and constantly sleeps with some
of the younger members of the family; but
perhaps its most singular attribute is It's
love for music. When any one plays 1T
Immediately draws near the piano. Re-
Gently the family were surprised to hear
some odd musical notes proceeding from
the parlor. They formed a tune something
like "Sweet Violets," which has long been
a favorite air played by one of the mem
bers of the family, a daughter aged sixteen,
to whom it is said Cleopatra is very much
attached. On proceeding to the parlor on
another day, the pet snake was found upon
the keyboard attempting to strike out the
notes on the keys with its tail. With lit
tie aid and much practice it has continued
it's musical studies until it can now play
"Sweet Violets," "Yankee Doodle" "Hail
Columbia" and several other pieces very
nicely. 1t is fed entirely on milk and crack
ers soaked in sweet tea. Next!
