In CONVERSATION with an Intelligent
civil engineer Of considerable expert
ence In coast constructions, the LIGHT
was assured that the building and main
tanning deep water pier at Padre
island would be perfectly futile as an at
tempt to secure deep water. That the
piers and basin attempted to be con-
structed would only serve to draw and
detain the sands that drift with the
tides. That bars would form obstruot-
ing navigation and that the deep har-
Dor would SO fill in few months as to
be absolutely too shallow to afford
floating water for vessels Of such burden
as now enter the bay. Concerning this
matter the LIGHT does not pretend any
positive knowledge. The question Of
coast currents is one of local solution de-
pending entirely upon shore formations
and their relation to ocean currents.
All that this article intends is to call at
tentlon to the objections urged that
they may be fully considered before
large expenditures Of money are made.

a Dream of Eair WOmen.

TennysOn in his exquisite poem. dreams of
a long procession of lovely women of ages
past. This is all very well, but the laureats
would have done the world greater service If
he had only told the women of the present
how they could improve their heath and en-
nance their charms. This he might easily bavc
done by recommending the use Of DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription. Health is the best
friend of beauty, and the innumerablc ills to
which women are peculiarly subject, its worst
enemies. Long experience has proven that
the health of wOmanknd and the "FavOTite
Prescription" walk hand in hand, and are in
separabe. 1t is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, under positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give sat
isfaCtiOn in every case, or money will be re-
funded. This guarantee has been printed on
the botte-wrapper, and faithfully carried out
for many years.

The reports Of cattle losses in the gulf
counties during the late storms and cold
appear to have been greatly exag-
gerated. Reliable stookmen from that
region deny any considerable loss, but
report cattle badly scattered, drifting
before the blizzard, and consequently
weak and difficult to gather together in
to herds. The late warm weather is
gradually restoring the stock to its for
mer condition, but fresh blizzard would
be disastrous. So far Texas is in good
condition for spring.

GOING TO DOT AGAIN.

The button-hol confa5s on the street
corners indicate to the initiated the
coming event which casts its shadow
before. The states are already being
prepared for the coming election and
the publIo-spirited citizen who always
serves his country for consideration, Is
already In the field arranging how it is
best to perpetuate his grip on the pub
lilo treasury and maintain his biennial
hold on office. Great are the privileges
Of American citizenship, and greater
still the possibilities Of political profit
when the slate is properly manipulated.
There Is more real political science in
this slate manipulation than "Slade,"
the slate writer, ever dreamed Of In his
spiritualistic Manifestations. The
science is reduced to fine art in Bexar
county. These fellows can screw
emocratio and q republican slate to-
gether, rattle a pencil inside, make
passes under (saloon) table and presto !!
open the states and the names
OF certain candidates will appear
Is certainly as though the finger of fate
had written them on tables Of stone.
The whole movement foroibly reminds
one who is observant of the preliminary
manoeuvres by which fusion hybrid
was nominated In this county two years
ago and the republican party bamboo
zled out Of county organization by
those who stole the livery Of the repub-
lican party to serve self and county
democracy In. There is not the slightest
indication that any change of heart has
taken place among these would-be lead
ers Of county politics, and honest repub-
licans are warned that these same COM
binations, this old.time barter and sale
Ia being arranged for just as certainly
as that the parties who did this thing
two years ago, are alive and kicking.
What the result will be no man know
eth. The republican party was respon-
sible for the refusal of the party to con-
stitute itself political entity
at the last gubernstorisl cleo
tion, and upon no one else
but itself will the refusal to rehsbilitate
itself as party rest:if the same suicidal
policy is pursued this year. The leaders
who counselled treason against the par
ty in 1886 are not to be trusted in 1888.
A word to the wise ought to be sufficient

New Trial Denied.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June 30.-Judge Shiras
of the United States Circuit Court has denied
q new trial in the famous case of Sallie E.
Helman against the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, the New York Life and the Con-
necticut Mutual Insurance Companies
Three cases were consolidated. They are
we'll known in legal and insurance circles
and we're brought nine years ago in Kansas
to recover the policies held by plaintiffs
husband. The issue is merely one of identi.
ty of a certain body found soon after He'll
man had insured his life for S25 900. He
and friend had gone hunting, and few
days later body, alleged to be his, was
found on the route the two had taken. The
Insurance companies charged and claimed
that the body was that of young man wno
had disappeared from his home in Iowa.
Two juries have disagreed on the case. The
third trial was before Judge Shiras at Tope
ka, Kan, last spring. 1t occupied 10 days
and II witnesses were summoned. A yer
dict was rendered for palintiff in the sum OF
$37, 900. A new trial was asked for, and
was denied by Judge Shira1. The case now
goes to the Supreme Court.

Loudoun bad representative at Chicago,
but he didn't get what he went for, and he
will have to haul down mis- coors and hoist
others. We hope he is happy, but some of
his former friends are preparing hot shot for
him. Let 'em fight.
There is no apparent interest manif, sted
in our coming congressional campaign.
That General Lee will be nominated with
out opposition seems foregone conclusion.
We understand the republicans are looking
around for an available independent capdi-
date, who can combine the opposition suffi-
GENTLY to make fight, but material Of that
kind is scarce in the district. Those who
would run can't make it, and those who
might make things lively wont run. All
the probabilities are that Virginia will go
largely democratic. and that the Sth district
will roll up her usual, if not an increased
majority. JABEE.

Ar THE republican ratification meeting IN
Washington last night the two principal
speakers, Representative johnson and Sena-
tor Hawley, paid more attention to the
Supremacy of the rebel brigadiers, !" and the
suppression of the negro vote in the South, "
than to the tariff question, their intention
evidently being to subordinate the latter to
the former among the issues of the coming
campaign They ought to know the temper
of their party better than those who are
not members of it but it does seem strange
that among civilized people, whose interests
are subserved by peace and tranquility, SO
many should be in favor of perpetuating
animosity and strife.
