When it comes to talking about butchers and butchering, Phil Ar morr, of Chicago, surely has good claim to the title of the boss butcher. He says that in the past year hls kill ings amount to ,361 ,000 hogs, 525. zoo cattle and 118,00O sheep, out of which the marketable products made amount ed to 425, ,28J.600 pounds. He is very often called the great plg sucker, bu5 the fact that hls house turns out about
 five million pounds of glue per year suggests that he is indirectly connected with much other sticking" besides that of plgs. To assist him in what many stockmen seem to consider his nefarious business, he employs five thousand men in summer and six thousand in winter, to whom he has this year paid three million of dollars in wages. Surely not the worst sort of a fellow to have in community Kansas City Live Stock Indicator.

The CoIdest spot Yet Found.

The Russian weather observing sys- tenn is the most extensive on the globe and embraces remarkable climatic con trasts. It has two principal observa- tories and 225 subordinate stations, and its latest reports give rainfall ob- servations for $50 localities. Many of the stations hate lafels been ad4edi and one of these, WerchojanslI, in Si- beria, is now recorded as the coldest point known on earth. The mean temperature for the year 1885 was 2.9 degrees below zero, Fahr.: for Janu- ary and Decent Der it was 62 g degrees below, and for July it rose to COG de- grees above zero.

The Barbers' Sign.
INew York sun.l

New York Sum-
 In the recent national convention of barbers at Buffalo the question of sub stituting some other sign for the red and-white striped barber pole was dis cussed, and It has been engaging the attention of gentlemen of the tonso- rial profession ever since. It is said that in early times barbers served the public in the capacity of surgeons also, and that the pole symbolized an arm wound with ribbon previous to the letting of blood. It was George II of England who decreed that hence forth the trade of the barber should be foreign to and independent of the practice of surgery" Despite the fact that the striped pole is a symbol of blood letting, it seems to be the opin- ion of conservative barbers generally that no other sign would be So efec- tive. 2

THE FIGHT ON WOOL.

The old saying was that "Texas IS
wild and woolly." The Lone Star
state may be wild but she is not so
woolly as she was and will become
less and less so under the provisions
OF the Mills bill. That bill seems to
have been actually framed with refer
ence to the complete and speedy des-
truction of the wool growing industry
of this country. 1t is a blow struck
at large lucrative industry of south
west Texas, and that without the eX-
cuse of consistency to principle to de-
fend it. The wool grower is selected
for slaughter, while the wool maniac
turer is singled out for the amplest
kind of protection. Was Mills so EN-
FILTERED against his own state that
her Industries and staple products
were singled out for destruction that
upon their ruins manufacturing east
might rear mills and establish facto-
ries and multiply wealth upon the
profits of low wage labor, employed in
manufacturing high priced protected
wooden cloths out of cheap free trade
wool. II would seem that not all Sec
tions of the south have been thus dis
eliminated against for rice and sugar
are amply protected, while wool is left
to the tender mercies of the Australian
fockmaster.
The Mills bill enacts that "all
woods, hair of the Alpaca, goat and
other like animals, woods on the skin,
wooden rags, shOddy, mungo, waste
and focks shall be admitted, when
imported, free of duty" Here his
hostility is shown not only to the
Texas sheep, but to the billy goat as
well, but he is still quite tender of the
manufacturer, for Connecticut and
New York and New Jersey were in
the catalogue of doubtful states. His
bill provides in general terms for a
forty per cent ad valOrem duty upon
all wooden goods imported into the
United States. The report accom-
panying the bill says that wool was
put upon the free list to "enable the
manufacturer to obtain foreign woods
cheaper and successfully compete
with the foreign manufacturer" The

THE meeting called for tonight at

THE meeting called for tonight at
Scholz's hall may somewhat serve to
straighten matters in the field of
county politics. 1t will be much safer
to speak of that movement after It's
work is made manifest than now. So
far the LIGHT has not taken any par
ticular dip into the muddied waters
of county politics and processes no
special knowledge of the situation.
The refusal of the republican county
convention to nominate any candi-
dates left the LIGHT free to take any
course, or no course at all, and it has
followed the line of inaction, consider
ing it the only safe line in the unde-
veloped condition of affairs.

THAT NEW UNIVERSITY.

The readers of the LIGHT have GER
tainly not forgotten the University of
San Antonio, its promises, prospects
and claims. In the midst of election
excitements and fair preparation let it
not be lost sight of that this univer-
sity is by no means secured to us as
yet. The proposition from the Meth
odist conference was for an endow-
ment of $4,000 and the location of the
University here when the citizens of
this vicinity had raised $50, 900. Rev.
Chas. Giddings the able and efficient
minister of the NJ. E. church here, is
the accredited financial agent of this
University scheme. He has been very
persistently and quietly at work dur
ing the past year endeavOring to raise
the amount necessary to secure the
location of the college at this point.
He has met with some success and
some promises, but not enough to fill
the measure of the donation required
by the conference as condition of
their endowing the university and
formally establishing it here. The
church authorities have asked for a
formal report from their financial
agent here not later than the
fifteenth of next month. 1t may be
that this will be the final report, and
if so, all that is to be done must be
done between now and then, that is
within the next thirty days.
The actual cash subscriptions to
date, as the LIGHT is informed by Mr..
Giddings, foot up thirty thousand dol
lars. There are on Mr.. Giddings' sub
scription book the names of thirty-two
responsible citizens who have pledged
assistance, but without naming the
amount. Now or never must these
persons fill out their lists, and they
must devise literally, as the universe
ty can alone be established and en-
dowed by liberal devisements. There
are besides this number of thirty-two,
scores OF citizens financially able to
add very materially to the amount
already pledged, and they should lose
no time in coming to the front and
making known their willingness with
out waiting to be urged, as the time is
short.
For the encouragement of San An
tonic capital and to increase the inter
est so generously taken by some OF
our citizens, the LIGHT is author

lied to state that one party,
not citizen of San Antonio,
stands ready to double the
entire endowment of 100000 if the
church is successful in planting the
university here. That is to say, as
soon as the citizens of San Antonio
raise their $4,000, and the conference
adds its $4,000 and establishes the
university, this generous friend to
education will double that 100000,
making his donation a clean 100000,
and raising the full endowment of
the university to the princely sum of
$500 900. Thus for the sum of fifty
thousand dollars, this city Is offered
university endowed with six times
the amount of the local subscription
and backed by one of the most pow
erful and progressive ecelesiastic
bodies on this continent.
This is an opportunity that can
come to San Antonio but once in
lifetime, and it is Of the first i'm
portance that the matter receive in
slant attention. The next thirty
DAYS should see this remaining S20,-
600 covered by sound subscriptions,
and the success of this effort to es-
tablish first-class institution of lib
eral culture, would be thus assured.
The LIGHT will have more to say on
this subject, and in the meantime
most heartily urges upon the good
citizens of San Antonio the necessity
of making up the deficiency above
noted.

duty of even 10 cents on the higher
grades of wool did not prevent the
cutting down of home production to
a ruinous extent, and the placing OF
wool on the free list will effectually
finish that which a low wool tariff
has so seriously begun. But the manu-
facturer at the east must have low
priced wool to meet the low priced
goods of Europe, upon which a duty
of forty per cent ad valorem
is placed to protect the manufac-
turer. In other words, the Texas
wool grower is cut out of a home mar
ket for his woods that the manufacture
er may avail himself of the cheaper
woods of Australia and South Amer
lea and continue business at an in
creased profit. If American wool
growers are forced out of the market
by the present low tariff, can they
continue business under no tariff at
all policy? This attempt to undersell
the cheap cloths of the foreign manu-
facturer means decreased wages to
workingmen, as well as foreign wool.
The false cry is raised that this re-
duction is necessary to secure cheap
clothing to our American people.
Never were our people better able to
buy clothing than during the high
tariff periods, for in considering this
question of purchase the means where
with to purchase must also be con-
sidered. High tariff, high enough to
protect the producer of raw material,
the manufacturer and the American
workingman, will insure good wages
and with these it is much easier to pay
the slight advance in the price of the
manufactured article than to pay a
less price OH the starvation wages OF
free trade. 1t is by no means to be
taken for granted that the democratic
party is the party of free trade and
that reputation of the free trade
doctrine is treason to democracy.
When such democrats as Jefferson,
Calhoun, Jackson, and Sam Randall
appear in the ranks of democratic ad-
vocates and defenders of high pro-
tective tariff, good democrats in the
tenth congressional district of Texas
need not feel very much worried if
they also take strong protection
ground and deny the authority of
Mills and Savers to read backward
the great lessons of democratic states
manship in the past, and preach their
destructive free trade theories instead
thereof. A few facts are patent. Free
wool means destruction to one of our
giant industries which needs fostering
instead of being ruthlessly stricken
down. This destruction to the wool
growing industry of the state, will in
time be followed by destruction to all
our industries, or at least to their de-
graduation to the level of the indus
trial conditions of every country that
stands as rival to us in the produc-
ton of any given article of manutac-
ture or any food staple. This blow at
the Texas wool grower is the first of
series threatening this district, whose
mineral wealth can alone be devel-
oped under the fostering care of pro-
tective policies. Now is the time to
resist the encroachments of the free
wool specialists. Two years hence it
may be too late.

THE election of Hon. J. d. Sayers
to stay at home, and of Colonel Aug.
Belknap, to represent this district,
would accomplish several desirable
results. 1t would show that the
voters of the tenth congressional dis
trict take business view of con-
gressional election, and are controlled
by sound business considerations in
casting their votes. 1t would show
that the capital and labor seeking
a field for profitable employment in
the southwest would be pre-eminent-
ly safe in this district among men
whose business brains guide their
political actions. 1t would forever
set at rest the question of republican
freedom to vote in Texas, and prove
that in the old tenth district not only
can republicans vote, but that their
votes will be counted. 1t would give
an impetus to the immigration move
ment, so wisely and well begun in
this section of the state, that nothing
else would, and as an advertisement,
would be worth 800, 900 to Texas dur
ing the next two years. These are
but few of the benefits that would
follow in the train of Colonel Belk-
maps election outside of its one great
benefit, the preservation of our wool
and stock interests, and the develop
ment of our mineral resources.
