CROOKED REPUBLIcANIsM.


Referring to the LIGHT's assertion,
that the republicans Of BeXar county
have always Jared better when putting
full republican ticket in the field than
when following the false gods Of fusion,
the Evening Paper cites the election OF
1880 AS a case in point bearing against
the statement OF the LIGHT. The Paper
says: 1.-The last regularly nominated
county republican ticket was In 1850,
when MIR. Fred GroOs ran for treasurer,
Robert Waiting for county clerk, Geo.
Pascal for county attorney, w. II. Hus-
ton tor county judge, Louis GrOthOuse
for district attorney, etc, etc. Has the
Paper the records to show when such a
ticket was ever nominated In Bexar
county as he puts forth as the republi-
can ticket of 1850? Republicans who
have been In this city about rs long as
the editor of the Evening Paper are
authority for the statement that no such
ticket ever was run, and that the names
there mentioned we're republicans who
had been candidates on that and other
tickets at other elections. The assump-
ton that these men were all laid out
cold as republican candidates in 1880
needs verificatiOn. Even suppOsing it
true, how much better have republicans
since Jared In 1882 fusion ticket was
run; nineteen candidates were before
that fusion convention; ten Of these
were democrats and nine republicans;
OF these ten democrats nine were elect
ed; of these nine republicans three were
eleCted-that is the fusiOnist republicans
helped the democrats elect nine candi-
dates out of ten to office, while the fu-
sionist democrats helped the regular
democrats defeat six republican candi-
dates out of the nine they had helped
nominate. This also at the expense of
n republican organization and party au-
tonOmy. During the bOasted fusion
movement of two years ago the repub-
Leans were elected to fill less than one
third of the offices for which nOmina-
tons were made.
In Yesterdays Evening Pap,r we find
this statement:
1--WE venture the assertion that, in
view Of all these facts, If the party
should decide to make a ticket ii would
be difficult to lind the candidates to con-
stitute that ticket. Not that We have no
material, but because the sacrifices re-
quired are inadequate to the benefits in
sight"
This certainly asserts that republicans
will not make the sacrifices necessary to
run on republican ticket. What then
is the meaning Oftbe following from the
same issue?
THE republicans of BeXar county
have won for themselves the respect OF
their opponents by their unseltish devo-
ton to the best interests OF the county
in sinking party issues in the selection
Of local offices"
Does this mean that republicans are
to make unselfish sacrifices for
a republican success, but are always
ready TO show an unselfish devotion
when sinking party in the interests of
democracy? This may suit the republic
cansm of the Evening Paper but it falls a
long way short of suiting the republicans
Of Bexar county.

The democratic club, which held its
preliminary meeting for organization on
last Friday, perfected organization last
evening and filings its banners to the
breeze. 1t is as its name indicates, a
democratic club and 1t will prove the
worst stuffed club that the ring democ-
raCy of this city ever had swung over
their heads Fit half aCcOmplishes what
it purposes in the way of suppressing il
legal voting, and the use of money in
influencing votes. 1t takes little stock
in fusion, announcing as its object,
among others, ITO aid the democratic
county of Bexar in nominating and
eleCung such democrats to office as are
most able, honorable and fitted for the
trust" This club is very likely to prove
thorn in the side Of the old ring, and as
a result there may be some reform in
county democratic politics; a result vain
ly looked for through the ministry of fu-
sion tickets.

PURE water for city uses seems to be a
great desideratum at both Dallas and Ell
Paso. These cities are agOnIZing over
some method Of fltering the chocolate
colOred mixture Of mud and moisture
that the pipes supply and rendering 1t
drinkable. A pure water supply Is nee
essary to health, and If these cities can
not find 1t, they will be fearfully handi-
capped in the race for municipal place.
San Antonio is blessed with as pure a
water supply as any city on this cOnti-
nent, and this is but one among the
many advantages which she possesses
over her sister cities. If our people had
been half as ready TO help themselves,
and supplement their natural advanta-
ges with personal efforts to secure man
ufacturing Industries as some of their
neighbors, San Antonio would have a
population of 600 to. day. Her rail
road connections would have been
doubled long since; her streets and pub
lie parks and gardens would have been
the admiration of continent; her sani-
tariums would be receiving thousands OF
guests every season and her people
would be as prosperous as they are heal
thy. Ii is crying shame to see enter
prises that would make the wealth and
future of our city secure go begging for
little encouragement and, failing to re-
ceive 1t, accept the friendly hand offered
by some more enterpIising community,
shake the dust from of their feet and de-
part from us forever. Slowly these facts
are percolating through the conscious
ness Of our business men and capitalists;
slowly, very slowly, there is percepti-
bic Increase In the oOrdiality with which
saCh schemes are discussed, and it may
be in time that even San Antonio will
learn that printers ink and generous aid
to manufacturing enterprises make a
city. One more opportunity comes our
way, possibly two. The matter OF smelt-
ing works is already before our people
grinding away with some prospect Of
squeezing through by the force of per-
sistent drumming at the expense of the
time and patience Of those who have
generously gwen their services for the
city. Northern gentlemen who have
been looking over north Mexico for a
location for sanitarium are in the city,
not finding just what they wanted over
the Rio Grande. 1t may be that some
overtures for the location of such a sani-
tarium as would bring thousands Of Wis
itors to our city every year will grow
out of their visit. Should this be so it is
most devoutly to be hoped that they
will be met in such a cordial, liberal
spirit by our citizens as to ensure their
location in our city.

The prompt call of the citizens Of
Charleston upon the general govern
ment for aid in the great calamity which
has befallen that beautiful city is sug-
gestive of two things. First, the pro-
priety Of extending national aid to in
dividual necessities. Second, the iDcon-
slstenoy the demand in the case of such
n city as Charleston, the hotbed of the
idea that the national government is
only fgure-head in all matters pertain
ing to the states. National aid to
Charleston would be usurpation of the
rights Of the state in the pre- misses. The
national government, that is inhibited
from giving educational aid to South
Carolina, could not be consistently ap-
piled to for aid in relieving the pecuni-
airy distresses Of South Carolinlans.
This would seem simple and plain
enough under ordinary circumstances,
but 1t may be that the earthquake has
given the old states right doctrine
shake. If SO, it has accomplished what
the war could not and did not effect.

The Evening Paper attempts no an
swer to the charge Of DISCRIMINATION
made against it in its advocacy of a fu-
sion ticket, but pOurs out instead half q
column of personal grievance, real or
ianOied, against some members of the
LIGHT company, which has no bearing
whatever upon the question at issue,
viz: shall the republicans of BeXar cOun-
ty refuse to nominate a straight repubh-
can ticket this fall and help elect demo-
Gratis to office? This is the only question
at issue. The Evening Paper acknowl-
edges with its lips that the republicans
of the county are capable Of deciding
this question for themselves, and it is for
this decision, in convention assembled,
that the LIGHT is waiting, hoping and
trusting that the fusioniSts will not sue
coed in preventing the calling of the con-
yention as has been done heretofore.

The Gatesville Advance-Sun brings
very heavy indictment against the state
democratic convention, and particularly
against the prohibitionists who were in
that convention and never opened their
mouths in favor Of the prohibition plank
expected, or even in favor of submitting
the amendment prOhibitiVe to the peo-
pie. 1t comes down with a rush as of an
cry waters upon the prohibition mem
bers of the committee on platform for
not bringing in a minority report, and
fairly submerges under the torrent OF its
accusation such men as DR.. Tho mas
Moore, Of Waco; Judge Davenport, of
Eastland; c. NJ. Boynton, of the Hamil-
ton Herald; Judge Pendegrast, of Mexia,
all life long prohibitionists, who were
silent as church mice on the prohibition
question while in the convention. Bro.
Cranfill takes it hard and announces his
prayers and purposes for the future as
follows: "May the Lord deliver us from
such democracy, and in the mysteries of
providence, may the children who are
being born now be born with backbones.
We give notice to the world at large,
Texas in particular and Coryell county
locally, that we have carefully unbuckled
our brass collar, and have laid it aside
forever. Hereafter we never expect to
have our vote made out by any set of
political tricksters, or by any monopo-
llstio sO-called democratic convention. "

The temperance question has come
into politics to stay, 1t is assuming the
only consistent position it can take; it
becomes the third party in politics, its
hand against republicans and democrats
alike. Based upon the one sole idea Of
the power Of the state to pass and en-
force sumptuary laws at Wilt demands
the acquiesence of the people in its cru
SADIE against personal liberty, and ap-
peals to the ballot box for its verdict.
The whole force Of the movement is the
reaction ofpublic sentiment in its blind
groupings for remedy against the
abuses OF individuals. To resort to
wholesale, omnibus measures to prevent
these abuses, instead Of constituting the
abuse crime for which both principals
and accessories should be held strictly
accountable, Is the very height of folly
and can only have temporary hold on
public opinion. Drunkenness is a crime
and the man who gets drunk is the
criminal. The man who sells the liquor
is not the criminal, unless he sells with
malice prepens. Shooting man is
crime, but the merchant who
sells pistol and cartridges is not a
murderer unless he sells to man whom
he knows is going to commit murder
with it. Regulation Of society and pun
ishment Of crime are demanded, not re-
straint Of personal liberty and abuse of
peoples government.

INDIA wheat can be grown in any con-
celvable quantity and laid down at New
York for so cents per bushel. When the
vast tracts OF fertile soil now unculti-
waited are opened up by railways and
transportation facilities increased, this
price may be lowered even another and
another notch. September wheat is now
selling in New York at So cents, and
were 1t not for the 20 cents duty upon
the imported grain India wheat would
undersell our product on the Atlantic
seaboard to-day and drive 1t out Of mar
ket there. The time has come for Amer
loan farmers to face the situation and
revise their free-trade theories; that is

ished England and caused her to revise
her tariff 80 as to make II practically
protective against foreign competition.

Eno,,sh Pictorial EIectioneering.

At the recent parliamentary election
in Great Britain many of the candidates
sent voting cards" to the electors in the
districts they desired to represent, with
directions how to mark them so as to
designate their preference. A few who
were specially good looking, or who
thought they were, had their portraits
printed on the cards they sent out. On
some of the cards view of the home of
the candidate was presented, and brief
account of his life and public services.
One paper expresses the opinion that
these illustrated cards exerted a power
full influence on the election in certain
districts and resulted in returning to
parliament quite a number of men more
distinguished for their fine looks than
for their ability, scholarship, political e1-
perience, or craftsmanship.

Health of the Cities Of China.

The popular notion that the inhabitants
of Chinese cities are given to unwhole-
some habits does not seem to be well
founded. DR.. Dodgeon, in recent work
on the diet, dress, and dwellings of the
Chinese, says that the people have admir-
ingly adapted themselves to their SUR
roundings, and enjoy maximum Of COM
fort. "They have good many lessons
yet to teach us in respect of living and
practical health" After an experience
of over twenty years with them, he says
that they are subject to fewer diseases,
their diseases are more amenable to treat
ment, and they possess a greater freedom
from acute and infammatory affections
of all kinds, if, indeed, these can be said
to exist at all" than obtains among west
ern nations.-New York Sun.
