The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1885-09-11

Democrats OiSan Antonio being DIVIDED
up In so many factions on this question,
the difficulty Of making choice can be
seen ut once. In the meantime Mr..
Newcomb remains, and If he were
Democrat his administration would be
greatly commended by reason Of the fact
that he Is doing more work with less
help than any office Of the class In
Texas.
The Philadelphia Times has been
looking into the reported revival In the
iron and steel business IN that State and
finds that the report is founded on solid
facts. "Thereis gratifying increase in
the trade. The differences between the
manufacturers and labOrers will be soon
adjusted. Mills that have been idle for
year have STATED up. In all branches
of the trade there Is activity, many of
the manufacturers having orders on
hand sufficient to keep their works go
ing for six months If no new orders
should be received. We have heretofore
noted the improvement in other branch
es Of business, and from everywhere
come lhe most encouraging reports.
There is evidently good time.coming."
As SHOWING that President Cleveland
has scattered his big appointments
pretty well over the country. the Wash
ington Critic saws: looking Mt the
Presidents Diplomatic appointments
from sectional standpoint. the North
has certainly got the pick of the lot. drs-
pite the frequent assertion of unfriendly
newspapers and partisan stump speakers
that the Administration in this matter
has surrendered to the rebel brgadiers.

TnE San Antonio public schools have
been inadequate for the last wear to ac-
oomnodate the rapidly-increasing at
tendance. and the consequence was TINT
last session large number of children
were put on half time, that is, attended
only in the forenoon or the afternoon.
New buildings are to be erected but as
1t will be several months before they are
ready for occupancy, there has already

this early in the session. This state of
affairs is reported from Chicago, where
the excess Of children is ahead of the
school accommodations, and the News of
that city finds consolation in the half
time proposition in the following
without entering into any discussion
of the moot question as to whether our
public school system is the wisest that
could be devised. there is some compen-
sation for the parents of these halctime
children in the view very generally en-
tertained by medical men, to.wit that
children under - years Of age should
not be allowed to devote more than
one-half the usual time TO study
and school attendance. From statistics
specially obtained in relation TO this
subject it appears that fully one.third Of
