MAKE the springs and fountains
clean, otherwise there will be no puri-
ty in the streams that flow therefrom.
So long as men of impure lives and
low morals are entrusted with the
execution of the laws against immor-
atty, SO long will the moral condition
of the community be at low ebb.
Let the voters of San Antonio stick a
PIN in this remark and not pull it out
until next January. When munich
pal election comes as well as county
election this fall, remember that only
clean and decent men can administer
the affairs of county and city clearly
and decently.
THE Fort Worth Gazette says, for
what purpose save for the sake of say
ing something it would be difficult to
divine:
"The attempt of the republicans to
manufacture enthusiasm for their can
didate by reviving the "Tippecanoe, 1"
clog cabin" and "hard cidern cries of
the long ago shows to what straits
they are driven"
Correct the latter clause to read
"shows how straight they are driv-
ing" and the LIGHT accepts the state
ment. They are driving straight to
victory this fall as they did forty years
ago.
The democracy vainly imagine that
they can corral the colored vote OF
Indiana for Cleveland.

THE Goliad Guard can't see any
sense in a nation caring for it's
wounded defenders. 1t says:
president Cleveland is vetoing
pension bills with a steady hand.
This pension business has grown into
a gigantic fraud and needs the firm
hand of an honest administration to
keep it within proper bounds"
Were it in order to pension the
traitors to nations life, Lord how
the Guard would howl for more pen
sions.
THE Waco Day having laid aside
its democratic goggles sees things in
their true light and discourses
thusly:
"There is no discount on Gen. Har-
rison's ability as an impromptu
speaker. He receives the delegations
which visit him with speeches that
are absolutely models in their way,
and he seems to know precisely what
to say, and how to say it. He may
not possess magnetic voice or pres
ence, but when his words go into cold
type they have warmth of style that
is peculiarly attractive"
This does not gibe we'll with the
usual democratic screeds concerning
the icy aristocracy of the next presi-
dent. Hurrah for young Tippecanoe,
the man with a grandfather!

Mrs NJ Is. Mcrriman, white mission

and Is bitter ia her denunciation Of the
cruel manner In which the negro colonists
are treated. She said Il have been

been among the natives Of Africa for
years as q missionary, but never have |
witnessed such abject poverty, squalor
and wretchedness as prevails among the
negro ColOnists in Liberia, II Is true that
the colonization society furnishes them

what does it avail themi They are there
