Another Mystery to Study.

Among all the attractive goods which
meets the feminine eye mono come In for
= greater amount Of admiration than
those fine clOaks, dress goods and opera
wraps, Jerseys and knit goods now on
inspection at Wolfson's. They are 10
the very latest niche Of fashion and can
be seen In all the varied shades, shapes
and prices. 1t 10 really somewhat Of .
surprise how Wolfson secures such start
ling bargains, but he does all the same.
One reason at least may be given and
everybody. Having . shrewd buyer and
looking strictly after his own business .
small profit suffices and he constantly
extends his trade thereby. He has no
two ways Of doing business or two prices.
You will see great rush In this depart
ment from now on.

The Press.
Editor LIGHT:

1t is refreshing to see city papers out
on boom with interesting mammoth
sheets, thus evinciDg spirit Of enter
prise and marks Of prosperity, highly
stimulating to business hope, and
energy.
In the rush and whirl of individual
interests. the great utility of the press
In every line and In every phraze Of the
subject, is much overlooked. To be-
grudge the publisher his just, and even
q liberal reward, is to save at The spite
while losing at the buDg; or in other
words, 1t is penny-wise while pound
foolish.
San Antonio is not the only city, built
up ny the press; the whole land today is
blossoming as the rose and cities are
growing under the magic power OF the
newspaper, that enemy at the same
time to despotism, and Its ignorance,
bigotry, seotionalism and green-eyed
prejudice. 1t is said, "Roll on, thou
dark blue ocean roll" and the ocean
will very likely do It's rolling and tum-
bling ad libitum, without let or him
drance. And SO we may say to the news.
paper, that great palladium OF liberty
and popular enlightener; Roll on thou
mighty power good, roll" But don't
forget Davy Crockett's maxim: "Be sure
you are right before you go ahead"
There 10 great work before the city
journal, now In this crisis. There used
to be stables called "angean." There
are perhaps some such politically and
officially not hundred miles away that
awfully need cleaning. Clean them out.
Mr.. Editor, "Salus pOpuli, est suprema
lex" This Is Latin, but all the same as
the English: 1.-The safety or welfare OF
the people Is the supreme law" The
idea Of the public good is hot to be
laughed at In the interests OF individuals
especially OF the merest pigmies OF yes
terday. Roll on, the LIGHT, Messrs
Editors, Toll 1t on with vim and energy

"Ofice-Holders are the A gents of the Poo
pie, Not Their Masters"
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The President
mas issued the following proclamation:

EXECUTIVE MANSION, I
WASHINGTON, July IA, 1885.
TO the Heads of Departments in the Service Of
the Government:
deem this proper time to especially warn
all subordnates in the several departments
and all office holders under the General Gov
eminent against the use of their official posi-
lions in attempts to control political move
nents in their localities.
Ofice-holders are the agents of the people
and labor due to the Government but they
should scrupulously avoid in their political
action, as well as in the discharge of their Of
fcial duty, offending, by display of obtru-
relations with them as public officials. They
should also constantly remember their party
friends, from whom they have received pre-
IL rment have not invested them with the
power of arbitrarily managing their political
holders, to dictate the political action Of their
party associates or throttle freedom of action
within party lines by methods and practices
which peryert every useful and 1ustitla6le
purpOse of party organization The influ-
ehce of Federal officeholders should not be
felt in tho manipulation of political primary
meetings and nominating conventions. The
use by these officials of their positions to
compass their election as delegates to politi-
cal conventions is indecent and unfair, and
proper regard COR the proprieties and re-
Quirements of official place will also prevent
their assuming the active conduct of political
campaigns.
Individual interest and activity. in political
affairs are by no means condemned. Office.
holders are neither DISTINGUISHED nor forbid
den the exercise of political privileges, but
their privileges are not enlarged, nor is their
duty to party increased to pernicious activity
by Office-holding.
A just discrimination in this regard be-
twetn the things citizen may properly do
and the purposes for which public Office
should not be used, is easy in the light of a
the people and those entrusted with official
place, and a consideration of the necessity
under our form of government of political
action free from official coercion.
You are requested to communicate the
substance of these views to those for whose
guidance they are intended.
