suffers most in these days, which he
can guard against.
By combination and cooperation he
can prevent a handful Of manipulators
who control a few millions of dollars,
from fixing, months in advance; the
market price Of the products of his
fields; from saying what they will pay
and what he must take. If he fails to
combine and cooperate with his
brother farmers who are endeavoring
to protect themselves and him from
this species of robbery, he fails in his
duty to himself and to them, and must
suffer the consequences.
He must place himself in a position
to fix the price on what he has to sell
just as the manufacturer or the
merchant from whom he buys, fixes
the price on what he buys from them.
Then in a business way he will deal
On an equal footing with them, and
not before.
But there are evils Of a political
nature from which the farmer suffers
grievously, from which he could free
himself if he once firmly resolved to
do so. The trouble with him all along
has been (and is today that he has
voluntarily taken a back seat in the
political wigwam while others imbued
with a keener sense of self-interest
come, very willingly, to the front, and
took the running Of the political ma
chine out of his hands and shaped the
policy of State without deeming it
necessary to consult him. AS a re-
suit, the statute books of Nation and
State show legislation nine-tenths, or
more correctly ninety-nine hundredths,
of which is in the interest of other
callings, and directly or indirectly
oppressive to the farmer.
They have been looked upon in
political circles as an unsophisticated,
go-slow, don't-care, be-foolable class,
and this estimate Of them, judging
from the results, at least, has been
carried out to the very letter.
How many farmers do you see in
Congress, either branch? How many
in State Legislatures How many
in Governors mansions ? How many
among governmental appointees at
home or abroad :? Not enough to
make a respectable echo to the ques-
ton. Why is this :? Simply because
the farmers have retired to the rear
in matters of State and by their w
Indifference surrendered the right and
the power to direct the ship of State
which through their numbers and in
fuence they could have been doing,
and still do, if they had not by mac
ton relinqu1shed, apparently at least,
the right and abdicated the power.
When they come to their senses,
assert their manhood as they should,
claim that recognition, and exercise
that voice in naming the representa-
tive lawmakers, and in saying what
the public policy shall be, then the
present ~burdensome, disgraceful order
Of things may be somewhat reversed,
and a new, more just and honest order
established. But this will not be I'M
til the farmers Of the land are awak-
ened in spirit, and shaking off their
solid Indifference, declare that it shall
and must be. FAIR PLAY.

Or SAN ANTONIO TEXAS THURSDAY, JUNE FL. 1885,
CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Report of Committee on PIatform-A
StateSmanlike Document Ac-
Ceptable to the Country.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Convention was
called to order at 1905 a. M, and roll
called for the nomination of members
of the national committee.
At 1910 Chairman Mckinley, of
the committee on resolutions took the
platform, amid great enthusiasm. This
document as presented sends greet
ing to Brazil upon the emancipation
of her slaves, and to the Home Rule
party in Ireland, both of which de-
claratiOns were received with ap-
plause.
The declaration of the platform that
1--WE are uncOmpromisingly in favor of
the American system of protection"
was greeted with loud applause, many
of the delegates rising to their feet
and cheering loudly.
The platform also demands reduc-
ton of postage to one cent, condemns
the administration for the attempted
demonstration of silver, for the sur
render of the fishery privileges of
American citizens, and for its spirit of
hostility to pension legislation. 1t
welcomes the issue raised by the
presidents message; favOrs revision of
the international revenue tax; abol
ishing of all tax on tobacco excepting
cigars and cigarettes; criticizes the
civil service of the present administra-
ton and denounces the election frauds.
The platform was adopted with
rising vote without opposition.
At l1:06 the roll was ordered called
for nominations.
California asked to be passed with
out response.
Warren, of Connecticut, presented
Hawley's name, without speech.
Leonard SWEET, of Chicago, nomin-
ates Gresham, and Davis, of Minneso-
sa, seconds the nomination, as does
also Lynch, OF Mississippi. At the
mention of Harrison's name by Lynch,
the Indiana delegation rose to its feet
and cheered loudly. Mccall, of Mas
sachusetts, and Rector, of Texas, also
seconded Gresham's nomination.
Governor Porter, of Indiana, then
rose to nominate Harrison, Indiana
delegation rising and cheering. Por-
ter was interrupted with cries of
"Gresham!" "Gresham?n mingled
with Kisses. At the conclusion of Por-
ter's speech the convention adjourned

Schreiner's Resolution.
SAN ANTONIO, June q, 1SS

hO[AN IL, 1000
Daily LIGHT:
In the report of council proceedings
occurs the following:
"Schreiner introduced the following
resolution:
"That ordinances be so amended as
to make the city physician health Of
ficer in order that he may be empow-
cred to look after the sanitary affairs
of the city, cut down weeds and abate
all nuisances calculated to engender
disease.
"The rules were suspended and the
amendment adopted"
Yes! That would be like making
the devil sell prayer-books, so as to
make his partners below loose half
their annual harvest.
One physician is not likely to cut off
the income of his fellows in trade, if
he can get around it, by merely shut
ting his eyes in passing our fever
breeding localities.
The proper person for sanitary Off
Ger would be the head of the county
immigration board, as being most in
terested in the health of the city; if
only on account of making the reports
of the small amount of mortality
among our inhabitants withoutresort-
ing to fibs.
The best thing for our citizens to do
would be to start a subscription to
buy his honor a good pair ofspectacles
wherewith he could see the: filthy
condition of our streets and alleys as
our taxpayers see them, not as he
sees them, or the man in his office;
and send him on tour through the
principal cities of the Union, to see
and learn how cities ought to be gov
erned, and on his return send him
north as keeper of our national park,
where he could exercise his organic
ing talent on larger scale than in
our small COMMUNITY.

A Burglary.

A sneak thief entered the premises
of Mrs. Miller, boarding house on
Houston street, opposite DR.. Herff7s
residence, at o'clock this morning,
and in plain sight of Rev. Mr.. Powell,
of the Baptist church, Saltillo, Mex
leo, and his wife, who was too i'll to be
disturbed, robbed Mr.. Powell of 5
Mexican dollars and 1885 American
money, from his pantaloons pockets.
The thief escaped just because the
alarm could not be given in time.

A Big Programme.

The Washington theatre is giving
a big show to big audiences this

a parlor scene in which thirty per-
formers take part. Among the special
ty people are: Katie and May Allen,
Emma and Vic Atkinson, Dryden and
Mitchell, Ed. and Mollie Leon, Estella
Swan, Adolph Gonzalias, and Annie
Reid. The entertainment concludes
with a laughable farce entitled,
"Kissing for Cash" Uncle John
Rivers will smile his best, and all it
costs is ten cents.

The Judgment Affirmed.

The following is the opinion of JUS
tice Maltbie in the appellate suit from
BeXar county, Galveston, Harrisburg
and San Antonio railroad VS.. Maurice
Howrin:
"Suit for the value of personal SER
vices and that of four teams on appel
lant's road. BY the original petition
it was alleged that the services were
rendered at the instance of appellant
and that it promised to pay for the
same. BY the amended petition it
was alleged that after the services
were rendered, defendant by its agent
agreed to pay the same in full in
reasonable time. Held, that the court
did not err in everything exceptions to
the latter that the promise set out was
barred at the time of the filing of the
last petition. If a specific promise to
pay had not been alleged in the first
instance, the subject matter and par
ties being the same, an additional al
legation that the defendant undertook
and promised to pay the debt claimed
in the former petition would not be
the setting up of a new cause of &C
ton. Such promise is simply a rec
ignition of an existing obligation, and
the promise is evidence of the original
obligation.
There was no error in allowing APP
pellee to state that he failed to enforce
his line on the road within the year
allowed by statute on account of APP
pellant's repeated promise to pay his
debt. Appellee's testimony was in di-
rect conflict with the testimony of APP
pellant as to the agreement to pay the
debt. and the issue being one of credi-
bility, it was important to show an eX-
cuse for the delay.
Counsel for plaintiffused the follow
ing language to the jury: ut is no
toriously talked of thing that corpora
tions cannot get justice before Ameri-
can juries. 1t is my opinion as prac-
titioner of twelve years. standing and
from railroad cases 1 have read and
those have been engaged in, that
this is not a fact. think that the rea-
son that railroads lose before juries
is because they are wrong two hum
dred times where they are right once.
Corporations are usually unjust, dis
honest, swindlers and overbearing.
Counsel for plaintiff adds to the BILL
that the words "overbearing, !" "swin-
dlers," and dishonest were not
used. ~ did say Converse (defendl
ants AGENT refused to pay plaintiff
because he wanted TO swindle him.
Held, that the language admitted was
highly improper and perhaps design
ed to prejudice the jury, but it is
hardly probable that the jury were
swayed from their duty. Affirmed.

[iiles. Defense of a Queer Verdict

PILES, Defense Of Queer Verdict.
Editor LIGHT:
In reply to your article "a Queer
Verdict" and in defense of the jurors
l t would but be just to say that the
writer of that article evidently knew
nothing of the case, beyond that such
b verdict had been given.
II One of the main things in newspa-
pers, I believe, is to obtain all the
[ rue facts of the case and then make
comments, something which your re-
porter apparently did not do. That
Duval did have pistol and did dis
charge the same no one will deny.
However, I haveit from friend that
he judge gave them charge upon
which to base their verdict and that
;harge, so 1 understand, was, that If
ne, .Duval, was threatened, (which
act was clearly proven) he was not
yuilty and they gave their verdict &C
tordingly.
r. Respectfully, JAS. L. GILES.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass June 2l.-Post-
master General Dickinson is here at
tending the wedding of his nephew.
Speaking of the political situation in
Chicago, he said, "The Chicago con-
ventiOn, after airing it's favorite sons,
will rush like tidal wave to Blaine,
whom believe will be the nominee,
but first there must be an opportunity
granted for letting off the vast pent
up eloquence in support of the
various insignificant booms. Blaine
believe is sure to be the candidate
of his party, but he will never be Pre-
sident. Cleveland and Thurman will
unite all factions of Indiana into a
harmonious whole and Cleveland will
carry New York by $4,000 majority.
Depew has no chance. The red ban
danna will wave from north to south

victory.
