A Clever Artist.

Mrs. c. Mathews, living on San
Pedro avenue near Marshall street, is
quite an artist in oil and has shown
her genius by executing several very
correct landscapes of the Alamo, and
the several missions, which are now OH
exhibition in the jewelry emporium
of Mr.. Jess NJ. Bell. a picture just
from her easel will soon be added to-
this. 1t represents beautiful young
girl standing in the midst of green's
and flowers, with her dainty fingers
resting listlessly on a harp. The
portrait work on this picture is very
good, both in expression, outline and
proportion.

Vegetables to Colorado.

The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway company have given special
rates for fall vegetables TO be shipped
to Colorado. These rates will also ap-
ply to fish and oyster shipments from
the Texas coast, and rates will be
given next spring for the shipment
of vegetables, melons, and ali farm
and garden products to Colorado.
Those mining towns, says Mr.. l.. NJ.
Gregory, have plenty of money and
are great market for vegetables of
all kinds, and by this special rate
southwest Texas is made the nearest
point to them, and a lucrative trade
will now spring up for our markets.

Catching the ScalperS.

The railroad companies in Texas
have adopted system on the coupon
tickets that deals death blow to
ticket scalping. A place is furnished
on the ticket for the selling agent to
punch out description of the person
buying the ticket, and the result is
that it cannot be used unless by a
similar man and it furnishes practic-
al passport for the owner of the
ticket. This system was introduced
by the southern Pacific and is now
being adopted upon all lines running
in the state

The Fever In Memphis,

MEMPHIS, September 27.-The fol-
lowing has been received by the AS
ISOLATED Press: Decatur, Ala, Sept.
27.-Our relief committee is prepared
to give assistance to all who need it;
we especially deprecate the making
of appeals for help by other parties.
When the committee needs more help
they will give due notice to the pub
lie. Miss Mamie Jones died today.
No new cases since noon. There are
suspicious cases at Hanceville, Hart
selle and Madison, all Decatur
refugees. 1 think the fever is not
likely to spread in these villages at
this season.

The Maj VINO s<r..e-. r;uEt James.
MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, September
Pit is rumored in Minneapolis
sporting circles, that the man who
has struck the deadly blow in the
fight at Grand Forks last week, was
an eastern pugilist travelling under
the alias of Burnett. 1t was also
stated he was in Minneapolis yester-
day, and took the evening train for
the east. He was a ringer for Dakota
sports, secured from the east for the
express purpose of doing up Full
James. 1t was remarked by local
pugilist, II am not sure that this is
the man, but am informed from re-
liable parties he is the one who struck
the blow that killed Full James. OF
course, it was only an accident, and
the authorities should not trouble
him.

MEXICAN NATURALIZATION.
An Important Decision by Judge
Barclay Indicates He Cam
ha a citiznn


Barclay Indicates He Cam
not be a Citizen,
The LIGHT, acting upon good legal
opinion, has questioned the legality
of the county courts power to convert
o Mexican into an American citizen
by the naturalization process, and it
has the hope that this mooted ques-
ton will be settled before the vote up
on the county election is taken. The
main objection taken TO the county
courts certificate of naturalization
was that it was not a court of record,
having criminal jurisdiction, as pro-
vided for in the United States statutes,
but recent legal decision in the cir
cult court of Missouri makes 1t ques-
tiOnable whether, under the present
law, Mexican can become natural
lied citizen. Judge Barclay recently
declined to grant naturalization pa
pers to ArgO KOnnehame, young
Chinaman, brought here when quite
a child by Consul Richard Johnson.
Judge Barclay holds that according
to the act of congress all applicants
for citizenship must be tree white per-
sons, except those of African nativity
or descent. He holds that the right
of citizenship cannot be conferred on
any person that does not belong to-
either the Caucasian or negro race,
not even on our own Indians or half
breeds or the Esquimaux of Alaska,
much less upon red or yellow or
brown-skinned people of other coun-
tries. The decision, if sustained, rules
out most MeNicans and citizens OF
other Spanish-American countries.

TERRENCE POWDERLY, grand mas
ter of the knights of Labor, has said
many good things that it were well to
remember. Among them, speaking OF
the immigration influx and its disas-
ferrous consequences, he said:
"Nine million seven hundred thou
sand immigrants have landed since
lS60-more than the combined popula-
ton of New York and Pennsylvania,
and as much as the total population of
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO, Connecticut, Dakota, Delaware,
Florida. Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode
Island, Utah, Washington Territory,
West Virginia and Wyoming. The
population which came previous to
1860 was civilized; that which comes
today is, in a great proportion, semi
barbarous. So long as this tide of I'M
restricted immigration is permitted to
sweep in they will take no steps to re-
form conditions at home. We must
check it at once, or. instead of Ameri-
canizing those who come, they will
Europeanize u.s."
These words should be framed and
hung up in every hall of state and ma
t;onal legislation, and in every school
room and college of this land, until
the thought of old and young is per-
meated with the idea and the mind
forced to realize the danger to our
civilization as well as to our indus
trial life by this overwhelming flood
of foreign and un-American labor.
America becoming Europeanized, this
is the danger which threatens us and
from which we can only escape by the
gateway of restricted immigration.

The Daily Eight.
Office No. 4 East Commerce Street.

THE advance sheets of Unser FritZ's
diary create intense interest and great
agitation throughout Germany. They
show the dead emperor to have been
the real author of consolidated Ger
many and strip the honors from Bis
marks brow which the iron handed
chancellor has so long worn.
THE Galveston News is not posted
on the proceedings of the Locomotive
Brotherhood, and discourses painful
ly concerning the attitude of the order
towards Harrison on account of his
course in 1887. Will the News inform
the country what Harrison had to do
with the railway boys in 1857?
THE prohibitionists who favor third
party movements meet with some very
strenuous opposition from pronounced
anti saloon men. Notably, among
the bishops and clergy of the churches.
Bishop Newman having recently
been invited to discuss the third party
question with a prohibition orator
at Springfield, Ills, the bishop, who
is attending conference, replies:
IF could spare the time from my
conference duties | should gladly ac-
cept the invitation, and / should show
that whatever has been accomplished
in the way of temperance legislation
in this country has been the work of
the republican party, and that IN that
party today rests the real hope OF the
temperance people and the legis alton
vet TO come. So far as | can observe
in travelling through the country, the
people are more and more inclined TO
stand for Harrison and Morton. [ be-
lieve we are on the verge of crisis,
and this is the way to avert 1t and adj
vance the cause of temperance at the
same time"
This is rather cold comfort for hot
headed third party prOhibitionist TO
receive at the hands of a Methodist
bishop, but it shows how level-headed
the bishops of the church are, who
come so practically and generally in
to contact with the people and who
are usually chosen for their business
qualities as much as for their saint
illness.
