BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.
The Victoria Advocate gives tongue

at the foot of the wrong persimmon
when it charges the LIGHT with having
dragged QUO the Wharton murder into
the light of day for political effect, as it
does in the following editorial:
us the San Antonio LIGHT certain
that the "recent murder of seven ne
grOes in Wharton county was COM
mitted by democrats and that ii was the
outcome of politics? If the LIGHT Can
prove sucn thing, or if it can prove
that politics had anything whatever to
90 with the killing, it need not go any
furibrr Co get Its campaign material for
next fall. We give these pointers to the
LIGHT free of charge for it will need
them, and many more, to help republi.
can to the front when the cold, cherries
days of next November come. The truth
of the matter is the LIGHT, like the
party it represents, is in the predica-
ment Of drowning man and Ia grasp
ing at single straw. Politics or the
democracy had just about as much to
do with the killing as the LIGHT editor
did. 1t occurred In county that has, at
present, republican judge, and some of
those who have been arrested for the
crime are ''good republicans" This 1t
is and nothing more"
The presence OF that republican judge
accounts for the demand for a company
of rangers, and the remOnstrsnce
against the governors sending those
rangers, demonstrates that republican
Judge had a mighty hard row to hoe in
bringing negro murderers to justice.
What the LIGHT did charge, does
charge and must continue to charge so
long as 1t is arrsigned for it's condemna-
tion of these inhuman murders by q
democratic press, Ia this: the demo-
cratic press Of Texas did not condemn
these foul murders. The journals which
condemn the LIGHT for charging that q
colored mans life is not as sacred in
Texas as q white mans, have not raised
their voices to denounce this damnable
deed, but had seven white men been
smoked and fired out Of their cabin in
the dead Of night by negroes and shot in
cold blood by the light of their own
burning dwelling, the voice OF the same

vault OF heaven with the roar of its con.
demnation. 1t was not for political
effect but 10 the cause Of common
humanity that the LIGHT uttered Its pro-
test against the dsmnable inhumanity
which refused to brand the murder as II
deserved because Of the color Of the Skin
OF the poor victims. The LIGHT never
mentioned, insinuated or charged thai
politics had anything to do with thai
murder and the Advocate knows it. Iii
reference thereto is the most miserable
subterfuge. The LIGHT does say, how
ever, that had such murder been com
mitted Ia a republican state, every jour
nal would have branded the murder as
diabollcsl outrage, Irrespective Of thu
color of the skins of the murdered vic
Tins.

JUST A COMMON MAN

Apropos of "reminiscences concerning
General Grant is this, which comes from
his old home in Galena:
General Smith, one of the old resi-
dents of the place, was at dinner Que
day before the war was fairly inaugur
ated. when a servant announced:
Some one to see you, sir
"A gentleman, JamesY
We'll, no, sir; he's just common
man. gave him chair in the hall
The common man was the tanner
Grant, the future commander in chief
of the armies of America.
A few years later two gentlemen called
on young man who was located in a
Chicago boarding house. Two pieces of
pasteboard were sent to his room. On
one was written in pencil the name of
U. S. Grant; the other bore the cogno-
men of General Grants friend and
chum, j. Russel Jones.
The young man on whom General
Grant was calling was Eugene Smith,
the son of General Smith of Galena The
common mans name was then fore
most in the world.
At one time the ladies of a certain
church in Galena gave series of tea
parties for some charitable organization.
Mrs. Q. S, Grant belonged to the church
circle, but would not give the tea party.

WHY MEN DRINK.

The wonderful humorist, Tom Hood,
once remarked There are five reasons
why men drink! Good wine; friend
because they are dry; or at least they
may be bye and bye; or any other rea-
son whv.' The last is nprhaI'S tho nnost
common reason, James Parton once
headed an article will the coming man
drink but as he failed to answer the
query we will express a decided opinion:
that, until the coming man learns to
prize home, social family ties above all
others, will he learn not to abuse his
own organism, In March last a writer
IN the Medical Age made some practical
remarks upon this subject, and offered
a timely hint which prohibition advO-
Gates would do well to note.
He says; AS long as the imperfections
of humanity remain untitled to its sur
roundings and conditions, so long evil
and misery will continue, and men seek
refuge in strong drink. Increase the
sum of human happiness by whate YER
means possible, lessen the burdens and
ameliorate the woes of mankind, remove
hunger, disease and pain by better
physical and moral education, and you
will have plucked out the fangs of that
dire monster T'-intempranCe.
Among the worst morbid conditions
resulting from the use of alcoholic
liquors, as well as from improper food
and customs of eating, are inflammation
of the stomach, bowels, liver, kidneys
and brain.
1t matters not in what part of the body
inflammation exists, or how severe it
may be, whether it takes the form of
gastric Inflammation, in dyspepsia, or
as in bronchitis. catarrh, hay fever,
pneumonia, rheumatism, or as in com
mon cuts and bruises, JOhnson's
AnOdyne Liniment will conquer it, re.
lieve the pain and prove to you that it is
indeed an anodyne of mighty power,
and unlike all others, as it is for internal
as well as external use.
A good Baptist deacon told us not long
since that he had known Johnson's
Liniment for sixty years, and had used
it in his family for over forty years l.
S. johnson & Co., Boston, Mass, will
send any person an instructive pam
phlet free, telling all about this valuable
household remedy, and how to use it
economically. One teaspooniul properly
used is worth whole bottle used as
some people use it.

Prof. Irvink, who monkeys with cards
and the other brio -a-brac that goes to
make up the outfit of the professional
slight of hand performer, gave an ex-
hibition at the hall in Frankford, Pa.
the other night. Ike professor is all
there with his tricks, but somewhat shy
on his oratory if he gets out of the beaten
paths of his hanky .panky. This time he
accidentally strayed and got badly
mixed up in byway.
Smiling like a crack in a mountain
range, the professor ambled down from
the stage, and borrowed a silk hat from
a fat man in the front row. 1t was
brand new IS hat, and the professor
looked at it affectionately as he made
his way back to the stage, which was
reached by a short step-ladder placed
there for the occasion. The professor
hadn't been drinking, but he was ner-
vous, The ladder slipped from under
him, and he tObogganed on the hat
several feet up the stage.
As he picked himself up ana looked
al the crushed stovepipe in blank des-
pair the audience roared. No one laugh
ed 50 heartily as the fat man who owned
the wreck. lrvink looked at the hat,
the spectators, and the wings.
Ladies and gentlemen he finally
stammered, this was an accident. If
the gentleman who owns the hat will
wait until tomorrow | will try to buy
him a new one out of the box receipts.
Really, did not mean to fall, /
His voice was drowned in laughter
and applause.
Isn't he an excellent actor exclaim-
ed the fat man between commissions, to
his neighbor. Never saw anything to
beat it.
The professor turned his scared face
about the stage. Escape was impossible.
The more he tried to tell his auditors
that the crushed tile was not a trick
but yard wide and all-wool reality,
the more his auditors didn't believe him.
He went down into the orchestra and
whispered to the owner that he did not
mean to fall on the hat, and that he
would make restitution as soon as posi-.
BILE, but the owner wiped the tears off
the end of his nose, and found breath
enough to remark that he knew all about
il; this wasn't the first time he had been
to sleight of-hand show.
At last Irvink carried the cause of
his misery back to the stage and ended
his act by flight. While young man
was singing something about girl who
didn't want him, the professor hunted
up notary and came back before the
curtain fell, with an affidavit that he
did crush the hat aforesaid, without
malice aforethought and without afore-
thought of making it as new again. The
audience, including the fat man, be
lieved him then.

TILE LORD GOT TIE POOREST.

A colored brother was explaining his
system of giving to the Lord.
Yes, sir, he said to the visitor, easing
back on his spade; Il glbs the truck off
o. one acre ebery year TO the Lawd.'
Which acre is itg' inquired his friend.
Wal, dat is a dib6erant question
Truf is, de acre changes most ebbery

'How's thatF
why. in wet seasons l gibs de Lawd
de low land, and in de dry seasons gibs
him de top acre ob de whole plantation.
In that case the Lords acre is the
worst in the whole farm, for in wet sea
sons it would be flooded and in dry
times parched.'
'Jes' 20, rejoined the systematic giveri
you don't allow Use goin' to rob my
family ob de best acre Use got, did yer
And he went on with his digging with
a sturdy smile Of conscious peace with
God.
We are often struck with the wonder
full similarity between the colored man
and the white man. We think we have
known several white men who were just
as shrewd in their financial m manage
ment as this colored man was.
