The TRANsCENDENT beauties of the
present democratic administration are
receiving feeble illustration In the San
Antonio postOfflce. The brilliant head
of the postal department at Washington
has ordered all fees for money orders
sent to the National capital, but makes
no provision of any kind for the main
tenanOe of the service hitherto support
ed by these fees. Theis is democratic
craftsmanship. This is care and con-
Germ for the public service with a ven-
geance. The clerks of the department
in this city work longer hours than are
required by law, because the postal APP
preparations are not increased. No.night
service at the general delivery for the
sible, because the clerks are already
overworked and the appropriations are
insufficient to afford more clerical help.
Now comes this order reducing the
available working fund of this office by
the amount of the postal order fees.
This necessitatcs a reduction of service
which is impossible, or a reduction of
salaries, which, as as demier resort
has been ordered. Salaries of big officials
are increased at Washington, the mea-
ger salary of postal clerks is cut down
and this is democratic reform of the
public service.

THE free trade democracy and the
democracy that favors tariff for rev.
enue are beginning to find out that as
manufacturing industries come to the
front in the old free trade states of the
south the hold on these free trade theo-
ries gradually weakens. The old slave
trader was naturally, necessarily and in
evitably free trader. In ante-bellum
days the south was solid free trade.
Since the war she has been unit for
free trade until within the last semi
decade. Now, a change is coming over
the spirit other dream. Tennessee, Ala
bama, Georgia are becoming manufac-
turing states, and in all manufacturing
states free trade is doomed. This fact
has come to the surface very distinc-
lively during the late tariff discussion In
congress. The democratic representa-
tives from the southern manufacturing
districts we're not found in line voting
solidly for Morrison's bill. Out Of this
comes hope. Hope that the theories up
on which solid south has maintained
its solidity as south will, be broken in
upon. This free traders bolt will do
away with more sectional feeling than
all the preaching Of all political parties
combined will effect in generation.
The south will be redeemed politically
as well as industrially by manufactures.

THE time is almost ripe for another
dab from Dabney Of the State univers-
ity. This habit of mixing labor doses
by the would-be doctors has become
quite popular in Texas since the labor
riots Of last May. To persons of politi-
cal aspirations, however, there is some
danger, as was recently discovered by
Gustav Cook, who found that he had
spoiled his own broth by the operation.
Dabney is safe behind the walls of the
university, and in his case the wisdom
of experience is not expected to have
immediate effect.

PRINCIPLES NOT PERSONS.

The editor of the Evening Paper fairly
agonizes In his effort to switch this call
of the state convention off on a personal
side track, and an inquiry into the anti
cedents OF the editor of the LIGHT. One
thing at time, Mr.. Evening Paper.
The personalities of the whole matter
are of no moment. The LIGHT waits,
and waits so far in vain, for
my answer to its charges that
J. p. Newcomb and J. c. De Gress
have by past acts approved themselves
as so unworthy the confidence of the
republican party in Texas as to render
nugatory their claims as party mana
gers, unsupported by authority. They
have succeeded, for purposes Of their
own, in compelling the republicans Of
the state to assemble in state conven-
ton for the ostenslble work Of putting
ticket in the field; the very thing which
these men have persistently opposed for
eight years, Mr.. Newcomb going so
far in his opposition to state ticket as
to defy the instructions Of the conven-
ton that sent him as its delegate. That
these men have more than once sold out
the party in Texas to the greerbackers
10 we'll known. That Mr.. Newcomb has
supported greenbsok candidates for Office
IN preference to republican candidates is
susceptible Of proof. For these reasons,
and similar ones, out of which pro-
found district has arisen in the republi-
can mind Of Texas concerning the safety
Of following the lead Of men with such
records-for these reasons, the LIGHT has
opposed this unrepublican and illegal
method Of calling a state convention.
The convention called-it only remains
for the republicans of the state to send
their representatives to the convention
and take it out of the hands of Mr.. J. C.
DE Gress. This Is all there is OF ii.
There is no head to the republican party
In Texas, competent to call a state con-
vention. De Gress assuming to act for
the executive committee, ascertaining
that he was not the choice of the COM
mittee for chairman, forestalls the meet
ing of the committee to elect the chair
man for whom they had expressed
preference, by calling this convention.
The sole object of this convention, in
the mind of its caller, judging
from all the known facts in the
premises, is to elect him 81. c. De Gress)
chairman Of the executive committee
and thus place him at the head of the
party In Texas. The first move on the
board has succeeded. As the executive
committee would not elect him chair
man, he defeats their coming together
and calls state convention, hoping to
secure through that means and by rep
resentation favorable to himself what he
could not legitimately secure by the
meeting Of the executive committee.
The only question is will the republican
party in Texas blindly place itself in
the power of such men and be made the
mere instruments Of their personal will
This question the convention must an
swer.

THE Atlanta Constitution falls into
line with the recent utterances of Con-
gresham Martin, of the sixth Alabama
district, on the question of tariff. No
one will question the democracy of the
Constitution, and yet there is no stronger
advocate Of protection to be found
among the New England journals than
the Constitution has become in the years
that have witnessed the building up Of
Atlanta as q great manufacturing CEN
ter. The backbone OF solid south will
be broken by this tariff disintegration.
A solid south demands a solid north.

JUsT so soon as a new man shies his
castor into the political ring Ofthe Texas
democracy, particularly the guberna-
torial section OF that ring, so soon do the
mud batteries of the other candidates
unlimber and the fun grows fast and fu-
rious. The Waco Examiner opened the
fight. Having staked out the gnberna-
tOrial ring and stationed Ross on the in
side it planted its mud battery In posi-
ton and awaited developments. From
Swain to Giddings there has been no let
up. The attacks Of the Examider show
signs Of having defeated their own OBJ
ject. The reGOil Of its over-heated gun
is being felt and farther firing is likely to
prove dangerous. Barlow has had all
the zeal necessary to have carried Sui
Ross into the state capitol without
touching the steps, but he has so little
discretion that not content to see him
fairly in the vestibule he has blown him
out of the rear door. The last discharge
at Giddings was so disproportion to the
gun that 1t has dismOuntsd the Waco
battery and placed it hors du combat.
The Belfast orangemen have shown
themselves utterly unfit to be en-
trusted with the government OF that
country. Their acts are destructive OF
all government; cruel, oppressive, ty-
rsnical and bloodthrsty. The election.
now sufficiently advanced to show con-
clusively the defeat of home rule gov
eminent in ireland, has given them
new lease of power. How that power
will be modified by the restrictions of
the British parliament is something yet
to be determined. There is no question
that If left to be determined by the mere
will of the Orangemen themselves that
the bloodiest day would dawn upon Ire
land that the unhappy island has ever
known. without respect for law and
without conception of religion, in the
name of law and religion they hold that
a catholic has no rights that Protest
ant is bound to respect. The outlook is
dreary for Ireland. The new parlia-
ment will have nearly as many cOnserv-
atives as unionists, Parnelites and Glad
stonItes combined. The result will be
anxiously watched for here as well as
over the water.
