San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1886-11-29

The discovery Of gold in the Okla
hOma country is destined to flood that
country with prOspectOrs in spite Of
Uncle Sam, congress and Old Nick
Where the gold is there will the pros
peOtOrs be.
The list OF fatal railway accidents
grows alarming full. Carelessness and
inattentiOH to orders is the cause nine
times out OF ten. Meager salaries cut
the heart and life out Of men and then
they are constituted constructive muir
derers because they have not their eyes
always on the strain. Wages should
match responsibilities.
The Christmas holidays at the State
university will be discontinued after
this year and only one day allowed,
Christmas. The term will commence
one week later and thus matters will be
equalIzed. This will save the distrac-
ton OF 3 festive season In mid-term and
is a wise movement on the part OF the
regents.
The bogus butter cranks are getting
In some mean work. The dealers who
cannot for the life OF them tell the DIFF
ference and buy the oleo In good
faith are jerked up for selling and pay
the piper to please the dairy monopo-
lists.
The Globe-Democrst Is quite childish
in its glee over the decadence Of
Chicago's wheat trade. st. Louis is
big city. The Globe Democrat Is big
paper, but Chicago is not dependent for
the means OF existence upon either OF
them.
The national administration will find
that even the democratic party may
change. Such change is upon 1t now,
and 1t appears to clearly demonstrated
that it is unsafe to permit her Mexican
ministers free use Ofthe time sanctifled
democratic beverage. When the democ-
racy goes back on burbon it is getting
on its last legs.
JOHN BULL will find that with Frances
demand for the evacuation Of Egypt,
Austro- Hungary's call on him for troops
to maintain his share of the Bulgarian
compact, the Ameer's call for aid In sup
pressing the Afghan rebellion, and the
pressing need OF reinforcing his army
in Burmah-he has his hands full with
out attempting the suppression Of the
Irish national league.
The Colen-Campbell divorce case re-
veals dirtier depth of aristocratic vice
In England than even the Pall-Mall Ga
zette revelations limited at. There has
been no parallel to these foul revela-
lions of the bestiality to which II lord
may descend In any case on record. AS
an uncovering of moral, intellectual,
physical and social rottenness, the case
stands alone. n monument of total and
unredeemed pollution.
SUNSET Cox may be legally entitled to
draw two salaries from government, but
he would find II draw that would not
I'LL when 1t came to reckoning with his
constituents. The people have old
fashioned views on these subjects. Cox.
however, is one Of the very last men
who wOnld take advantage Ofany such
circumstances. His record as an anti
back salary grabber was well defined.
AUSTIN is putting good money into
printers ink, booming the Capital. How
much money has San Antonio given to
place her position squsrely before the
country and show her advantages, her
resources and her possibilities Austin
Is usually considered slow, but she has
stolen march on the Alamo City this
time. Advertising n town pays, and Is
just as necessary as advertising bust
ness.
The comm endstions heaped upon the
head of Judge L. c. Manning. by way of
palliating his Mexican disgrace, avail
nothing. IfJudge Manning's weakness
was so well known, why was he selected
for position around which the mal-o-
dor OF similar offence still fingered. Il
is another blunder Of this democratic ad-
ministratiOn. Simply that and nothing
more; inevitable destiny.
The News at Galveston misses the nub
Of the LIGHr's comparison on the Judas
IscarIot deal. Judas acted on his own
responsibility. The Chicago district
master workman, protesting TO act on
authority, acted contrary thereto and
abusing position betrayed official trust,
and through it the $1,000 who depended
on him as a representative Of the DELHI
erative wisdom and judgment Of the
order whose supposed mandate they
obeyed.
