THE Brenham Banner blows a blast
against the odious state libel laws
and calls for their repeal. 1t says:
1.-The odious state libel laws must
be amended. The legislator who OPP
poses any change is either too ignor-
ant or too unfair and dishonest to rep
resent his constituency.
Possession seems to be nine points
OF the law in this case. The libel law
of Texas is defended by no one, it
suits no one, it answers no good pur-
pose and no purpose of any kind save
to prevent criticism of Ubiquitous acts,
public and private, and yet it is re-
tanned upon the statnte book simply
because it happens to be there. It's
repeal is loudly demanded

OUR HOLIDAY EDITION.

The Annual Holiday Edition of the LIGHT
will make its appearance on the 18th of De-
cember, and, as usual, will be filled with in
teresting reading matter pertaining to local
and state, as well as foreign matters. There
will be a carefully selected chronological
table of important events for the year
brought down to date of publication. The
covers will be artistically printed in colors,
and its general makeup will be as it always
has been-the peer of anything published in
the state. This year the endeavor will be to
make it still little superior, if possible, to
all its predecessors. AS not less than 10000
copies will be issued, the LIGHTS HOLIDAY
EDITION for 1888 will present unusual adj
vantages for advertisers, and those who have
found it so satisfactory an advertising medi-
um in past years, are respectfully requested
to hold orders for display ads and write
ups" until the LIGHT representative calls,
which will be in very short time.

SONG OF FAITH.

The day is qucncsed and the sun is fled.
God has forgotten the world
The moon is gone and the stars are dead
God has forgotten the world!
Day will return with tocsher boon
God will remember the world
Night will come with 4 newer meen
God will remember the world
Evil is only the slave of good;
Sorrow, the servant OF Joy;
And the soul is mad that refuses food
Ofthc mcanest in Gods employ
The fountain or joy is fed by tears.
And love is lit by the breath OF signs
The deepest grieis and the widest fears
Have hottest ministries.
Strong grows the oak in the sweeping storm
Safely the flowers sleep under the snow;
And the farmers hearth is never warm
Till the cold wind starts to blow
Day will return with lrcshr boon
God will remember the world
Night will come with newer moon:
God will remember the world,

The more they see of Quay the bet
ter satisfied are the Congressman
that the campaign management is
in good hands. He does not en-
courage over confidence, but it is
found that any statements he makes
are based upon knowledge and not
upon loose reports from enthusiastic
partisans. 1t is we'll understood
that the Chairman feels the Repub-
licans today have New York, and
he does not intend they shall lose
their grip. Indiana is also well in

will be entered upon which promises

The Military Disguised with
Them
The Government has recently
adopted the old Springfield rifle SIS
the arm OF the United States mi
litia and now the regular rife
teams when they shoot are obliged
to use these guns.
At the contest at the Fair on
Wednesday there was great deal
OF military profanity 'indulged in
because OF the slow action of the
locks.
DIR, Lee says that the only way
to shoot and not get tired is to pull
the trigger. lay the gun down on
the ground and then go and get
some lunch and beer at the tent.
Then come back, take aim and
hold the gun until it goes off.
1t would seem that while the
Government was hunting antiquated
weapons they might have gone back
to the flint lock gun or the Queen
Bess biunderbuss. There are still
several old fashioned models IN the
British Museum that might serve as
patterns for U. S. Government
arm. The action of the piece re-
minds one of the Gold Hill whis-
key sold in early days. A man
who took a drink did not get drunk
of the liquor in Gold Hill before he
reached Placsrville and didn't SO.
Der up until he got back.
