Editor San Antooio LIGHT:
Cotton is coming in quite literally
now. Two cars were shipped this
week. The price paid for cotton here
is lac. Farmers will not make as
much cotton as they first anticipated.
If good rain would fall now a fall
crop might be made yet, but as it is
now, the cotton will be picked in
about four to six weeks.
A birthday party took place last
week at the residence of Mr.. Ed.
Tewes, New Berlin. Mrs. Ed. Tewes
celebrated her anniversary. After
partaking of dainty supper, dancing
was commenced. Music for the same
was furnished by the New Berlin
string band. There were quite q
number of guests present, OF which
Mrs. Looff and Misses Augusta and
Harie Haenel were from San An
tonic.
Mr.. w. H. Harris and Mr.. Gus A.
Timer left for Dallas, being delegates
to the democratic convention which
takes place there.
Two hundred and forty acres of
pasture land, belonging to Mrs. H.
Sholte, burned down last week.
Sparks of passing engine supposed
to be the cause of it. Mrs. Sholte put
l. claim against the railroad COM
pany for only $40. OF course, the
railroad company is always to blame;
makes thousands of dollars every day,
and of course, has any quantity of
money. and besides it is supposed to
be public bank where anyone can
draw on for any amount one chooses.

Getting There.

When the local breweries SHUT
down on free ice to the saloons, they
declared that it would not affect the
public in any way, but the public
have found out to their cost that the
breweries are wrong, for in many cases
they get less beer, and many have suf-
fered an ice famine. The latter evil
could have been avoided if the brew
cries had have given longer notice
so that the ice companies could have
made due arrangements for the in
flux of trade.
The San Antonio Ice company are
getting there and have now three
large tanks in operation, besides i'm
porting a large quantity of ice and
they intend TO do all they can to &C
commodate their customers. The
Crystal ice factory is arranging also
to extend its operations.

Great excitement has prevailed in

wr tten for the LIGHT.
The Times and Post of New York,
the organs of the mugwumps, have
waged bitter war Oh Gov. Hill and
made charges of corruption against
him, which will compel them to OPP
pose him, after he is nominated, or to
forfeit every atom of public respect.
Neither OF these mugwump papers
are over-burdened with back bone,
or political cleanliness, notwithstand-
ing, they are political pharisees of the
most pronounced sort. If they should
oppose Hill for governor, it will so
handicap Cleveland as to give the
state of New York to Harrison and
Morton.
When the campaign wakes hot, and
the prohioitionists see that protec-
tive tariff is the paramount question,
they will drop their ballots in for
Harrison and Morton, and by so do
ing, they will enable Harrison to car
ry New York, New Jersey and In
diana by handsome majorities.
Poor men, who are dependent on
the public schools for the education of
their children, should bear in mind,
that the Blair bill would have added
five millions of dollars to the avail
able educational fund of Texas. But
for the mutton headed mossback poll
ticians of the south, the Blair bill
would now be law. A republican
SO ate passed it, over a year ago, the
democratic house Smothered and
stiffied it. Poor men are fools to con-
tinue bllndly voting the democratic
ticket against the best interests Of
themselves and their children.
The people of Texas will never de-
velope their latent resources so long
as they remain the puppets of the
Democratic-Bourbon politicians, who
are antagonistic to immigration, pro-
gress and manufactures. Laboring
men in Texas owe it to themselves to
cut loose from the mossback demo-
cracy and to make their influence and
votes felt, for progress and improve
ment, since progress and improve
ment must essentially conduce to
their welfare.
Protection democrats for congress,
in Texas, could defeat almost every
one of the present free trade members
who consider Cleveland as the auto
crat of the democracy. The farmers
and merchants of Texas are not such

they see it is against their material
prosperity.
The article of Mr.. Patrick Ford hit
the free trade democrats between
wind and water. What do Irish
American citizens hope to accomplish
in the way of home rule in Ireland,
by voting for free trade, the only eff
feet of which would be to give Eng
land a monopoly of the American
market, and en- BILE her to crush Ire
land, more effectually.
Do the Bexar Democrats nominate
poor men for county officers? No.
they take those who have been at the

and have grown fat and pot-bellied on

get to the feed trough. P. NUT.
