1t is said that the Prohibitionists through
out the country are combining to attack
the consttutionality Of license laws, grow
ing out Of the decision of the United States
supreme court in the Kansas case wherein
it was asserted that the people cannot bar
ter away the morals and health of the pub
lie
Thirtysix of the state judges of Iowa
have replied TO circular which Gov. Lar
rabee sent out last summer asking about
the workings of the prohibitory law. On
ly four oppose the law, and two of these
advocate high license. Many Of the Judges
would like to have the present law amend
ed so as to reach the case of illegal sales by
pharmacists The testimony is quite gen
eral that the law has lessened crime and
consequently the work of the courts.
The Albany Journal voices the prevailing
opinion when it says The interview with
Mr.. Blaine in Florence confirms the judg-
ment of the fnality of his letter of declin-
alton. Mr. Blaine meant what he wrote in
the broadest and completest sense Of the
words. Otherwise he would not have writ
ten at ALL The Republican party cannot
nominate him in justice either to Mr., Blaine
or to itself, and the sooner all Republicans
recognize the fact and abandon the theory
that he is yet TO be somehow forced into
the service, the better for all concerned"
Henry c, Spalding, the inventor Of
Spalding's glue, has died in Philadelphia
almshouse, aged 63- The prosperity which
his inventions gave him led him into intern

Whyt

Why live, when life is sad,
Death only sweetY
Why fight, when closest fight
Brings but defeatY
Why pray, when In best prayer
Dark thoughts assail!
Why strive, and strive again,
Only 10 fail;
Live! there are many round
Who need thy care.
Pray there is One at hand
Helping thy prayer
Fight for the love of God,
Not for renown.
Strive only in His strength,
Not in thine own.
Why hope, when life has proved
Our best hopes vain:
Why love, when love is fraught
With so much painy
Why not cool brain and heart
In the deep Wavey
Why not lie down and rest
In the still grayey
Hope there is heavens joy
Laid up for thee
Love! for true love Outliyes
Its agony.
Fight, pray, and wrestle on,
Loving God best
Then, when thy work is done,
Lie down and rest. Tile Quiuer.

THE Paris News lives and moves and
has its being in Paris. That is, it is de-
voted heart and hand and head to the in
terests of that section of the state which
centers in Paris. The News never loses
an opportunity Of footing its own horn
for Paris, rightly judging that what helps
Paris helps the News as well. rhe News
is quite rsbid democratic sheet, but is
not so blind as to miss the good points
in a republican contemporary, and says of
this journal:
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT has always
been regarded as one of the neatest and
brightest papers In the state. 1t has en-
larged from a seven column folio to q

MUNICIPAL MELANGE.

The d ally journals OF this city IN thelr
Yesterday issues spread before the peo-
pie of San Antonio the proceedings OF
the CITY council in its Monday evenings
session, To those who have not become
80 thoroughly disguised with the mu-
nicipal machine as to avoid all perusal
of what, by stretch OF courtesy, are
called proceedings, the reading OF yes
terday's account was notifying and
painful duty. Not that the city ia in
bad condition financially. Yesterday
was the day for making the report OF
the city receipts and expenditures for
the year just closing, and SO far as dol
lars and cents in the treasury, and
the indebtedness Of the city itself
ia concerned, there ia no cause
for special humiliation. The cause
lies deeper. 1t lies in the fact that
the incompetency of the city govern
ment gives the citizens no adequate re-
turns for the amount of money expended.
There is not one branch of the admins
Luht, III lls OObNuob ohN
ment OF affairs, meets the requirements
Of such city as this. The appropria-
tions voted are so unwisely applied, the
work performed is Entrusted TO such in
competent hands. the service rendered
is SO inadequate, the condition of the
streets, sidewalks and alleys so nnsatis-
factory, that it is getting to be grave
question among sober, rejecting tax
payers whether II would not be better to
surrender our charter as a city and trust
to luck and the natural decency and
good behavior Of our people, rather than
to the present system of conducting pub
lie business.
The LIGHT charges nothing upon
the individuals who compose the COM
mon council of this city. There is not
one of them against whose private char
acter or public capacity for business, as
an individual, word Of disparagement
could be uttered. The blsmeless life,
the vast erudltiOn, the matchless valOr,
the allwise presoience of the head Of the
city government is everywhere COM
mented upon; his praise is on all lips,
and his virtues spoken in all homes.
But it is a strange and marvellous thing
that when these individuals put their
united wisdom into the scale for the
benefit Of this municipality, the result
is so foreign from all We would natuar-
ally expect from gentlemen of their
known ability In the business circles o.
this city. 1t is remarkable CO,
incidence that so many of these
municipal councillors are interested
in contracts, or supplies for contractors
or in business depending upon the oity't
patronage to greater or less degree
So remarkable is the fact that the won
der is sometimes expressed whether thi
mere coincidence has anything to d.
with the paternal nature Of that authori
ty which the head of the city govern
meDt seems ever to exercise over tn,
members of his municipal household
Then again the question is suggested
whether any change would be wrough

ALDERMAN GALLAGHER continues TO be
a thorn in the side of the present ad-
ministration municipal. His WORK is in
eftectual in 80 far as controlling munich
pal action is concerned. His honor has
the council too solidly organized to per-
NIT them to break ranks. All the same,
Gallagher's questions rankle and his OBJ
jections are read and noted by the PEG
pie. His vote and that of Alderman
Kalteyer on the market ordinance
amendment will be approved by our citi
zens. That ordinance should not pass
for various and divers reasons which
the LIGHT will set forth before the next
session of council. Perhaps the very fact
that it should not pass is proof presump-
