nails of nation, state, municipal-
ity, are set to watch over and give the
alarm when public evils threaten the
body polite. The LIGHT has no OPP
ton but to call attention to the utter
disregard Of municipal law which
characterizes the actions of this pres
ent city administration and to lift its
warning voice against the illegality
of such acts. The time may come
when these will be seriously question
ed in courts of competent jurisdiction
and the city made to pay dearly for the
irresponsible character OF its NUM-
cipal government as administered by
the autocrat of the council chamber.
No good can come to this city, to its
business, to its people, to its progress,
or to it's interests from a government
so administered. The LIGHT says not
these things in anger, but in shame,
and proposes to do all that lies in its
power to turn backward the tide of
destruction, threatening all our de-
velopment, and which so unnaturally
flows from the head of the municipal
administration.

AUToCRACY GONE TO SEED.

Johnson grass and autocracy are
probably both good in their places,
: but when they 60 to seed in the wrong
place and take root and flourish to the
choking out of other more necessary
things, then they become nuisance
to be abated. The LIGHT respectfully
submits and has long submitted that
the city council chamber and the Of
fees of municipal ad ninistration are
not the places in which either John
son grass or autocracy should go to
seed. Leaving the Johnson grass to
wlther or flourish for the present at it's
own sweet Will, this city, in the per-
son of its responsible representative
business men, should set itself sedu-
ously to work to eradicate autocracy
from the administrative chair and
from the council chamber, and this
only can be done by serving a notice
to quit upon the autocrat.
The fact becomes more and more ap-
parent with every session of council
that the mayor of this city in his acts
considers himself above DEGREES of
council, and government by ordinance
degenerates into an irresponsible per-
sonal administration of affairs
in which the city has every
thing to lose and nothing to
gain. This fact was made apparent as
usual in Mondays session, when by
persistent questionings on the part of
Alderman Gallagher the facts were
ELECTED concerning that private and
unauthorized contract between the
mayor and Gregory Herman for con-
struction of sidewalk on West Hous-
ton street. Bad example is catching
and like master like man" will ever
be found true. The utter disregard of
the mayor for ordinances and DEGREES
Of council and regulating resolutions
and laws for official municipal conduct
is having its effect. Inferior officers are
found patterning after the example
set by their superiors, as was also ELI
cited on Monday, by Alderman Kali
teyer, in his close questionings con-
corning the engineership of the Cross
Town railway company, full particu-
lars of which were given in council
proceedings as reported in Yesterdays

OUR SISTER REPUBLIC.

In the report of the Monday night
banquet to the Colorado deep water
delegates, the toast to Mexico was
omitted. This arose from the fact that
the genial Mexican consul at this
place was too ill to remain at the BAN
quet, which he graced with his pre-
sence just long enough to show his
good will. The absence ofDr. Ornelas
was sincerely regretted. The toast to
which he was elected to respond was
"Our Sister Republic-may her people
never want for Diaz to ensure her
prosperity and the prosperity of her re-
publican government; and may her
interests always be protected by so
capable, earnest and patriotic repre-
sentative as her present consul in the
city of San Antonio" This toast was
read by POSTMASTER Andrews and in
the absence of DR.. Ornelas was not re-
sponded to. San Antonio does not
generally let her sister republic stay
out in the cold on any public occasion.
are too intimately blended with those
of Mexico to permit us to forget, even
were We so disposed, the vast terri
tory lying south of the Rio Grande,
the interests, ANS, prosperity
and growth of it's people so closely in
terwOven with our own. Particular
ly on such occasion as that of Monday
night would it be impossible to forget
this. Our new railway connections
are bringing US into closer intercourse
with Mexico every day. Soon the
very heart of that republic will be as
accessible as that of our own state;
our commerce and entsrpris Q is seeking
outlet and investment in all that
vast region, and Mexico's sons and
daughters are to the manor born on
Texas soil. The opening up of deep
water at Arkansas Pass means the
opening up of deep water port to
north Mexico as well as to southwest
Texas, and it was meet, right and
most proper that the sentiment ex-
| pressed in the toast, friend
Iy interest and regard for the
sister republic, should find ex-
preston at that banquet. San An
tonic has no sympathy with any at
tacks made upon Mexico. The ILL
timed reference to Mexico, made by
one of the dedication orators at the
state capital last May, was received
in this city with undisguised express
sions of disapproval, and was severe
ly animadverted upon in converse
ton. 1t would have been as crafty
! ing as it would have been instructive
to have heard our popular and thor
oughly posted consul respond to the
toast offered his country. Colorado
would have been delighted to hear an
accredited representative of Mexico
| speak concerning the relations of the
two countries SO closely joined in
commercial bonds, and to have heard
from his own lips some expression of
sentiment and opinion concerning the
new enterprise for the advancement
of which the Colorado delegation were
present in this city; an enterprise as
necessary to the we'll being and devel-
opment of northern Mexico as of Texas
and Colorado.
