I'm LIGHT is the largest and most
complete printing establishment in San
Antonio, and will soon begin the publi-
cation Of handsome weekly issue of
the paper.
CAPTAIN SAWYER, of the Mallory line at
Galveston, it is said, will have prepared
complete history Of the labor troubles
on the wharf and the causes which pro-
duced the boycott instituted against that
company by the Knights Of Labor. Any
facts and history not heretofore given TO
the public on this subject would enable
unprcjudiccd people to form correct con-
illusions as to the rights and wrongs un-
der discussion.
The number Of labor papers through
out the country is increasing observes
Bradstreet's. This is on the whole not
q bad sign. On one point, though this
new influence is for evil. If there is one
notion in finance more pernicious than
another it is that times are made good
by increasing the volume Of money, and
the reverse. 1t is of course true that to
place the circulating medium of Coun-
try below its normal wants would be to
inflict injury. But to conclude from this
that more money Of necessity gives more
prosperity is so much wickedness. As
well argue for any other adulterstiOn.
Yet the increasing labor papers are un-
fortunately too much given over to
preaching such lOoseness."

The organization of mohair growers
association in this city yesterday was an
event that may grow to great impOr-
lance. The mOhair industry in the
United States is in its meerest infancy,
the great bulk of this fibre used In this
country coming from Asia Minor and
South Africa. There are now some 20
factories In the United States using mo-
hair, and the demand is constantly on
the increase. Besides being employed
only in what are known as mOhair
goods, it is highly priced as a mixture
with wool in fine CassimSres, imparting
q high gloss and finish to the goods.
Western Texas is the largest grower of
mOhair in America, and the industry is
constantly on the increase, growing to
an extent that is now impossible to pre-
dict. Judging from those present yes
terday, the mOhair growers of Texas are
fully up to the average of any set of
men engaged in any industry in the
country in point of intelligence and
practiCability and just the kind of men
to take hold OF an infant industry and
make it success.
The Times hints that the I.rGHr finds
fault with city officials This the Light
denies. Mayor Calaghan was elected
on platform he has almost ignored.
and the LIGHT simply stated the fact in
reply to the Times, which was not fault
finding in the least. Police officers
worked at the polls in the interest of an
administration candidate, but the LIGHT
does not think there is any fault finding
in giving the facts about it, The Coun-
Gil attempted to ''shut OFF, Alderman
Mackay by adjOurning before new bust
ness was reached, just because he wanted
10 discuss the Water-works question.
but there was nothing like fault finding
in telling the public about it. A man
was appointed principal of one of the
public schools, whose examination bare
ley gave him a secOnd-class certificate,
and the LIGHT was the only paper in the
CITY that mentioned the matter, which
was done in justice to the scholarly men
and women whose examination entitled
them to first-class certificates. Now all
this concerns the public. The LIGHT is
the paper Of the people, and If it did not
tell it no one else would, because the
Times devotes its energies to toadying
TO all the officers and trying to defend
them from alleged fault-fnding criti-
cisms.
