societies of San Antonio have received
no invitation to attend the Boerne
Saengerfest which takes place there

for it. When San Antonio had the
Saengerfest the Boerne societies and
all otter little singing societies in this
part of the state received a cordial in

Der Spider und Der Fly"

The "truck" system has been con-
demned all the world over, and yet it
EXISTS in this city, and has semi-of-
fetal sanction. The city hall contrac-
tors office is in the upper story of the
old Russi building, and in the lower
storyis saloon, which, it is said, is
really owned by the contractor,
though nominally run by the con-.
tractors son and partner. Here the
workmen congregate, take their
drinks and the man who gets the
largest score is the best and most
popular workman. On payday the
score is sent up to the Office and taken
from the mans wages. The evils of
credit drinking are TOO we'll known to-
need much comment, and while every
thing in this way may be conducted
on the square, the LIGHT takes excep-
ton to this plan Of encouraging drink
ing for the profit of the contractor or
any member of the con tractors family.

Mr.. Holt RejoinS,
To the Editor of the LIGHT:

To the Editor of the LIGHT:
desire to repeat the statement that
was made August 10th, relative II
the scandal in the End Baptist church
(the rumor of the pastor whipping his
wife,. 1t was not only rumOred once,
but the second time, and evidence to
the fact can be produced by many of
the neighbors both white and colored
of that community. 1t has been de-
MED by three of the dark-sides of the
sunlight, that it was a falsehood
made by one J. H. Holt, and stated
that he had been dismissed from
membership in the church, This is
false statement made by them.
Now let the sunlight shine in it's
purity. l have ever stood up for the
morality and dignity of the church,
and these facts cannot be denied.
Mr.. pastor don'5 let your head stick
up too higl in this fire. The voices
of Fort Worth, Calvert and Robert
son county are not silent. One Boul-
ter, being sent to prison tor five
years. All this means someth ng -
the Second Baptist church. Three
men do not constitute a church
where 27S names figure OH the rolls,
and among the names of the brethren
and deacons which are not named in
their card are those of old brother Ben
Jones. who is a well known and hon.
est old gentleman; Washington Clark
Prince Adams, H. Alexander and
Washington Styles, the same. These
are the deacons and regular attend
ants at all meetings. If their names
had appeared in the statement made
Tuesday, by the three dark sun-lights,
then the public would have believed
it. The whole story will be told when
I write again. Respectfully,
J. H. Holt.

A Stock Canard,
Re'lefontaine Republican.

Be lefontaine Republican.
One of these stupid lies has been
told about Gen. Harrison. 1t is the
story that he had said at some time
that a dollar day was enough for a
workiugman. No sensible man be-
lieves that story. No honora BILE man
repeats it. The same story was circd-
lated in this district abou5 Gen. r. P.
Kennedy, Two years ago. And
yet there is no man livinr,
who would be farther from max
ing that remark than Gen. Kennedy.
No man pays workingmen better
wages than he, and no one respects
them more. And yet the silly, stupid
lie was worked for all there was in it,
against him, in 1884. That it is now
t)ld upon Gen. Harrison shows that
it is a democratic campaign lie, kept
in stock to be repeated in any cam
paign, wherever men who have no
regard for truth may be found willing
to circulate it against anybody. But
that does not make it any the less
stupid lie.

WHAT THE OTHER SIDE SAYS.

WHAT THE OTHER SIDE SAYS.
"Our opponents, on the other hand, say
it is better to let the surplus accumulate; it
is better to take the money from the pockets
of the people; it is better to pile it up in
the vaults of the Treasury Department, al
though it does no good Whatsoever, and it
is great harm; it is better to do that thau
to touch the tariff laws of the United States.
We say, on the contrary, tn relieve an over
taxed people is to reduce the taxes, we say
that the way to treat a people honestly,
fairly and wisely is to take no more taxes
out of their pockets than the government
actually needs for it's expenditures. Zap
