majority in the state 10000. Was
not this according to the Carlylian for
mula? But that was not all, Is not all.
This democratic party having fought
down the republican party In Texas, In
turn becomes divisive, self.destructive,
just as Carlyle says. The prohibition
lists In the party and the anti-prohi6i-
tionists In the party, now form two par
ties where before was one. These par
ties must become destructive Of democ-
raoy. The old republican party, fought
out by the democracy, has nothing TO
do with this new arrangement OF par
ties, only to eggon the fight and destroy
democracy, that itself may come again
to the front. This Is the position taken
by the LIGHT and it has the warrant ofso
strong a writer as Carlyle to approve Its
action, as consistent with the ordinary
course that marks the rise and fall OF
political parties. When democracy dies,
killed of by the forces Of internal divi-
sion, repub licanism assumes control. 1t
is not the part OF the republican party
to organize victory for the democracy,
by strengthening the hands OF either
wing of that self-divided democracy.
No taunts, nor sneer, nor challenges
will avail to draw the republican party,
II they be wise, from their position OF
armed neutrality. The first duty OF re-
publioans in convention assembled is to
arrange for democratic defeat. When
that is accomplished details are In or
der. When the republican party has
come into power in Texas once
more, it will be its duty, as
party, to deal with prohibition, but
not until then. The adverse $1,000 vote
Of last August is conclusive evidence
that as between prohibition and anti
prohibition Texas has nothing to fear.
This distress cry of the democratic
party ia not the distress cry of anti-pro-
hibitionists fearing prohibition DONNA
ton. That $500 } antl-prohibition vote
proves the decided contrary. 1t is the
distress cry of the bourbon democracy,
fearing fatal split in their own ranks,
and calling aloud upon republicans to
rush into the breach and save them.
The republican party may be foolish
enough to respond, but the LIGHT does
not think that they will, and II they do,
it will be contrary to the judgment of
the clearest minds in the party.

EYE AND HAND EDUCATION.

The Van Dyke Art club has closed its
exhibit and made its awards for this
year. The work done by the club has
commended it to the confidence and
good offices of the patrons and lovers of
art in this city, and given encourage
ment that some steps will be taken to
put the art school upon an enduring
foundation. No more necessary service
could be rendered the educational work
of this city today than the permanent
endowment OF some school of design in
which the talents and tendencies Of the
youth of this city could find expression
and intelligent direction. The work of
education is manifold. That of our COM
mon schools falls far below the stand
ard required to equip ayouDg person for
seriously struggling with the difficult
ties which surround the lives who are
thrust out into the world dependent
upon their own exertions. The
present system of school instruc-
ton does not meet this
want. There is nothing of special
character in the school training of the
present, and 1t is high time that
new departure was taken.
The Van Dyke art school work does
educate the eye, the perceptive faculties
and the hand. 1t is to that extent a
manual training school, and manual
training Is of all things the thing most
necessary in the educational work of to-
day. Pupils attend our common schools
the free public schools, or the private
schools, academies, colleges and univer-
stiles Of this country and emerge from
them all without any definite adequate
idea of what nature intended them for.
The cram goes on, and ology after ology
Is showed down the throats OF the martyr
to the insane educational systems Of this
country until the ewes Of the victims
fairly bulge out with the stuffing they
have received. Talk about education
Education is the art Of evoluting lead
ing out, and this is OF all things the art
OF putting III, CEahhtuS III uutii tuo
poor memory Is stuffed to repletion wi tn
rules and processes and facts of philoso-
ply, language, constructions and litera-
ture Of which the mind is incap-
pable of making any intelligent use.
The real work OF education begins
ouly after the pupil understands the
mechanism of his own mind sufficiently
to grasp the greatest tendencies of that
mind, its strongest leanings, and so ap-
plies himself to draw out OF himself all
that tends that way. From the first lisp
of childhood the effort should be to
watch the bias Of the young mind. the
bent of the Intelligence, and giving 1t
scope, permit such development as will
prove it wise or foolish to educate that
way. The Van Dyke ar. school will
do more to develop the latent
tendencies of boys and girls, and old
boys and girls as well, In six months,
than any public school In Texas will &C
cOmplish in six years. The establish

NOT RUNNING THIS SIDE.


Never before in the history Of the re-
publican party has 80 much advice been
rendered it's lesders and speakers and
writer's as is now rendered by the disin-
terestedness of the democratic party.
This is particularly true of the demo-
crazy of Texas In general, and OF Bexar
county in particular. There is reason
for this. The democracy OF this county,
to 90 no farther from home. have been
so accustomed to seeing the republicans
OF the county deferring to democratic
opinion In the matter of campaign poll
tics, that the democracy Internationally
come to consider the republican party
In San Antonio as mere side show.
The conduct of the party, under the
mismanagement of leaders who declare
it inexpedient to make party nomina-
lions, has not been such as to induce
belief In the democratic mind that there
was any Independent republicanism in
the county. The late republican con-
vention was surprise to such demo-
Gratis as could not discover the signs OF
the times (no allusion'to the Soledad
street oracle.) 1t was no less revela-
ton to those fusion republicans who had
not followed the revolt in their party
against the surrender OF the very exist
ence OF the party, for the paltry consid-
GRAFTON of few official loaves and fishes.
The action Of the republican con-
yention of this county, in re-
fusing to be led by the nose
into the democratic camp, and made
a party to the fight over prob ibition
now waging in the democratic ranks,
has caused great weeping. and wailing
and gnsshipg of democratic teeth. The
Times, OF this city, voices the party dis
tress, and attempts to drown reason in
its voluminous tears over the declars.
tion of the LIGHT, that 1t ia not expedi-
emit for the republican party to NEEDLE
In this prohibition-democratic fight, be-
cause the prohibitionists have taken
ground as political party. Pursuing its
own pitiful pretences to reason upon
this matter, the Times asks Rs q
olipcher, Have not the democrats taken
ground as a political party all these
years? Why then do the republicans, as
q party, antsgonize the democrats"
Let the Times listen aud be instructed.
Is 1t not Carlyle, who says, most truth
fully, that no nation ever goes much be-
yond the length of "two parties" two
at q time. Hear him. 1.-TWO parties are
the usual number at one time. Let these
two fight it out, all minor shades OF
party rallying under the shade likest
them. When the one has fought down
the other, then it in Its turn msy divide,
self destructive" Does the Times edi-
tor feel the force Of the Carlyle state
ment creeping through his capillary? If
not, the LIGHT will apply the principle.
There were two distinctive parties pc.
liticsl In Texas. The republican and the
democratic parties. These two at a
time. They fought it out and the demo-
cratic party whipped the republi-
can party. Whipped it SO bad
Iy that the democracy counted it's

was given to the press:
Our attention having been called to
statement in the New York World OF III .
morning. TO the effect that Mr.. Randall Is
suffering from cancer OF the stomach, we
would state that this assertion Is entirely
erroneous Mr.. Randall is not suffering

arisen. No such diagnosis h2s been

Dr. Lincoln, who was called In by DR..
Mallan as consulting physician. has not

DR.. Mallan said this evening that MIR.
Randall was continuing to improve, and

down be was gaining strength slowly. Hs
said it was the intention at present, 10 re
move Mr., Randall from the city on Mon
