Bismarck's Threat 10 Get"

BERLIN, April 6.-The report of Prince
Bismarck's resignation came first from
the Cologne Gazette's Vienna CORES
pondents. 1t is supposed that the chan
cellor took his means to make his thres t
known. The article in the Cologne
Gazette appears in the evening edition.
That paper says strong affec-
ton has existed between the
young couple since Prince Alex
ander's visit to Berlin in 1885. The late
emperor opposed the match but it is
believed that Emperor Frederick, the
empress, and Queen Victoria look upon
1t with favor. Prince Bismarck had q
long conference with the empress, and
also laid before Emperor Frederick a
comprehensive statement in writing of
the possible consequences Of the mar
rage. The result according to the
latest report is that the marriage has
been postponed for the present, and that
Prince Bismarck retains his position.

An Alliance Offensive and De,
fenSiYe.

CHICAGO, April Can agreement has
been made in writing, and is in the
hands of Mr.. Powderly and the Brother
hood Engineers, to the effect, that when
ever the Brotherhood deem it necessary
for their success. Powderly agrees to
call out all the Knights of Labor on the
Burlington, no matter in what
capacity they may be working.
The same thing will be done on
any other road, on which engineers
and ficemen may get into trouble. In
return, the engineers and firemen will
back up the Knights of Labor, working
on the railroads, If In their turn, they
should get into trouble. In short, its an
offensive and defensive alliance, such as
was attempted some time ago on the
Missouri Pacific. but failed, on account
of the engineers refusing to enter into
deal. The alliance will not become
operative for some time to come. The
strike Of the Knights of Labor is the
third number on the programme Of
strikers. The first number is a new
attempt to influence the 90" through
other railroad people. Failing In that,
the brakemen will be asked to go out.

MILLS Providence speech did not
have the desired effect in Rhode Island.
In 1886 Davis, democrat. was elected
governor over Wetmore, republican by
a majority of 1884 vote. The legisls-
ture then elected had AZ republicans and
SO democrats on joint ballot. In the
election held this week, Taft, republi-
can, is elected governor by majority Of
1889: "Lsppan, republican, for lieuten-
ant governor, has q maj ority of 1855;
the suffrage amendment had Is over the
necessary three-tifths vote. The senate
stands: Republicans u, democrats 6,
no election 5. House: Republicans 81,
democrats 10, prohibitionist l, no cleo
ton T." This does not SAVIOR very
strongly of democratic gains this year
and taken in connection with the NUM-
oipal elections elsewhere may be accept
ed a. conclusive evidence that the free
trade policy Of the administration will
not have a very celebrating effect upon
the democratic vote this fall.

Indignation In Texas on account OF pro-

coming, but it is about four years In the

godsend to Texas. Reduce her demo-

blades Of grass would grow, over the
entire state, where one now stands;
railroads and manufactures would null
tiplv like stars in the evening sky, or
like Thomas orchestra on kitchen

from the north, northeast and north

A HAPPY DEMOCRATIC FAMILY.

The city election at Houston develops
some remarkably strange freaks in the
democratic family Of the Bayou City.
The Herald, upon the strength OF the re-
election Of Mayor Smith. exults and
claims to be the only democratic paper
in the city. Uncle Daniel, whom no
one ever dreamed OF reading out OF the
party on account of his "a ge," was a
bitter opponent of Mayor Smith and did
good work and true for the election OF
Captain Soherfius. Concerning the re-
elect Smith. the Age does not appear to
have those same. clear cut ideas OF his
unsullied democracy as does the Herald,
and charges him with boiling demo-
cratic nominations, opposing democratic
nominations, giving money to elect op-
posing candidates, hiring republican jani.
tors at city expense, raising the battle
cry of labor against capital, and doing
sundry and divers things not considered
consistent with pure and undefiled
democratic record. The Bayou City
democracy are In need Of little sooth-
ing syrup in their happy family.

THE GRACE OF SILENCE

The SAN ANTONIO LIGHT takes no more
stock In Sheriff Thumm than does the
San Angelo Standard. 1t does not be.
lieve in oondoning crime, and considers
all officials doubly bound to keep the
law they are sworn to enforce. All the
same, 1t does not consider it either good
taste or evidence Of manliness to hound
a man after the law has vindicated itself
as in the case of ex-Sheriff Thumm. The
following from the Standard Is not only
in execrable taste but savors Of great un-
feeling:
"Ex-Sheriff Thumm's postoffice ad-
dress for the next % years will be
Huntsville, Texas. Anyone wanting q
neat brutal murder committed should
address him as above"
When the gates of penitertiary close
behind a man 1t is in order to let him
alone. Sheriff Thunm has family who
have suffered sufficiently on account OF
the crimes he has committed, and it Is
not generous to infiict farther pain upon
them by such reflections as are made In
the Standard. Let ex-Sherif Thumm
remain where the courts OF his state
have placed him, and let the veil Of 81
lenoe fall over him and his misdeeds,
This, for the sake OF common humanity
and his family, if not for bis own sake
and if for none Of these, then for the sake
Of the honor and dignity Of the press let
the mantle of oblivion fall

PATRoNIzE YOUR HOME PAPER.

The LIGHT has from time to time de-
livered a needed hOmily upon the
futulity and worthlessness of Jim Crow
systems and schemes Of advertising and
set forth the undisputed and incontro-
vertible fact that the great advertisers
or the country, the men who nave made
advertising a success, have confined
themselves TO legitimate newspaper adj
vertising, with the sole exception of the
patent medicine and the patent right
man. This is the view taken by judiciOus
advertisers news journal that has
proved itself reliable, truthful and enter
prising, that has come to be accepted as
fair and just exponent Of public senti-
mem, that is free and fearless and clear
and decent and consistent, such a news
paper carries with ii weight which is
felt even In it's advertising columns, and
such advertisements are more read and
considered than are the Jim Crow"
ads. found on dodgers, illustrated cards,
Autograph sheets, fancy posters and the
hundred schemes with which business Ia
importuned and induced to invest. This
view Of the LIGHT seems to be fully en-
dOrsed by the Texas Commercial Repor-
ter Of Fort Worth. which in 8 recent
editorial upon advertising schemes says,
among other things, the following:
"The proper way to build up locality
In onh Wnrk for
prises that are established in it and to
speak well OF the city or town In which
you live. A we'll conducted, ably edited
and enterprlsing paper is very valu-
able and important enterprise, for In all
wide-awake communities there will be
found one or more papers. The paper is
regarded by the public as being the pro-
per channel through which to gain in
formation about the state and county of
your residence. as well as to find out the
condition and spirit of the people
toward public enterprises. Did you
ever hear OF patent medicine dOd-
ger or circular giving such informa-
tion as the abovee Did you ever expect
to be benefited by snap advertising
schemes that have so often been pushed
on You by some stranger. who cares
nothing for your city or business any
longer than to receive pay for the sd.
vertIsement you ordered? Then would
II not be better to extend to your home
advertising me dunn liberal and regu-
lar patronage, and thereby help to In
crease its growth and future greatnessG
Patronize your home paper and In the
end you will find 1t the cheapest and
best plan"
1t 10 certainly the privilege of every
business man to conduct his business &C.
oording to his own ideas, and to sdver.
tise In such ways az shall seem to him
best. But while conceding this, the
LIGHT also considers itself entitled tc
express it's opinions concerning this
matter, and to give Its reasons for thu
conclusions at which it arrives.
