Citizens Vindicated.


To the LIGHT:
AS one Of the afternoon papers of our
city, contained, a few days past, an edi-
tOrial article abusing our citizens for
sending of orders for goods to other
cities instead of purchasing from home
merchants, | ask space in the LIGHT to
pronounce this attack unCalled for and
unjust. Men and women certainly enjoy
the legal right of buying the goods that
they need where they please, and if this
be the case, they are not blame worthy
for simply exercising this legal right.
Let us look into this matter a little.
Where do san Antonio merchants and
grOcers purchase their goods? Why, Of
course, where they can obtain them the
cheapest. They care nothing for build
ing up Houston or Galveston, if they are
able to purchase goods more cneaply in
New Orleans and st. Louis, they buy
there, and if goods are still cheaper in
Chicago or New York, they make their
purchases In those cities. Citizens have
just as good right to buy where the
best bargains can be obtained, as mer-
chants have to do so.
But, COnCeding that people do send of
orders for goods to Chicago, st. Louis
and New YORK, instead of buying EN-
IN Dan AnlODlO, NnaI CduheS lueu
10 do so? Most indisputably they
must be impelled by the wish Of getting
goods at a low price. The fault then,
lies with the business men OF San An
tonic. They drive away trade by de
msnding exOrbitant prices for goods,
which they sell at retail. Let me
illustrate. None send of for CalicOes,
dOmestics &c, simply because they can
not better themselves by such a step.
small profits and quick sales" is the
only rule by which people can be de-
tered from sending orders to the trade
centers for goods, and if our home mer-
chants will adopt il, they will speedily
experience its beneficial workings.
priced pecans by the pound yesterday
at u fruit stand. and was told that they
were sold at 10 cents by the single
pound, and % cents for two pounds, and.
upon my saying, they were TOO high; he
replied, they cost him7 ceuts per pound.
II he sold them at 10 cents per pound,
his profit would be over forty per cent
nj 10 cents he makes over 100 per cent.
prOrt. | am OF the opinion that many
merchants demand too large a profit on
great many articles that they sell.
Ii is unjustitiable in newspaper to
abuse the citizens at large in order to
curry favor with merchants.

ADELINA PATTI.
Do the People of San Antonio Want to
Hear the Great Diva.

Do the People of San Antonio Want to
Hear the Great Diva.
II is positively announced that this is
Patti-NicOllini's farewell visit to the
united states and the last opportunity
that Texans will have of hearing her in
this country. According to arrange
ment, Patti plays five nights in New Or
leans, then goes TO Galveston where she
plays one night, and proceeds thence to
the City of Mexico passing through San
Antonio. She has one night at her dis
pOsal that Is usually devoted to rest, but
ii is understood that II sufficient induce
ment is offered, she will play in San An
toniO.lt will, however, cost about 5000
to secure her to sing here. Galveston
has raised the money and have her
booked to appear there on Thursday.
December 23rd, and has set the follow
ing special prices: Parquette and par
quette circle, SO; dress circle, reserved,
Sc: dress circle, unreserved, So; gallery,
$3.50; general admission, So. And the
managers have arranged with the rail-
road company to run the audience from
all points at a single fare the round trip.
Dallas is working hard TO raise the re-
quired sum and secure the available
night, and some think that she ought
not TO be allowed to pass through the
city without stopping here. What Gal
weston has done, San Antonio can do If
she tries. The question only is can the
money be raised, and whether the musi-
cal luxury, which all would like to en-
joy, is worth the enormous outlay it re-
quires.
Ii may be added that Madame Salchi,
cOntraltO, Madame Novata, meZzo So
prano, M. Guile, tenor. Signor Galassi,
baritone, and Signor Novata support
Patti in her tour. II Patti Ia secured, she
should be required to play in acomplete
opera, not mere concert as Is often
played of rs an unworthy substitute.

Foolish and Stubborn Belief

Horsford's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted il to chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed of pure
and non-poisonous chemicals.
The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread, and the bOne-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron v.
