That "Free Whisky Plank.

Congressman Taylor, of Ohio, referring,
in debate, or Thursday, to the frantic as
sertion of the Democrats that the Repuh-
lican party, by its declaration made in
the National convention at Chicago, has
become "the party of free whisky" de-
clared that "any man who could coldly
and with his judgment in hand, assert
that the Republican party was in favor
of free whisky, might be developed accord
ing to the Darwinian theory, for count
less cycles of time without mounting in
tellectually to the position of brevet
ass"
Congressman Reed, of Maine, alluding
to the same charge, declared: "Wha;
the Chicago convention said was, after
having removed all unsuitable taxes, after
having tried every other method of reduc-
ing taxes consistent with the maintenance
of the system of protection, if the Repub-
licans then had to choose between inter
nal taxes and the protective system, they
would stand By the system of protection
for American industries"
Now, read the "plank" and see for your
selves if Congressman Reed and Taylor
are not right in their assertions:
The Republican party would affect all
needed reduction of the national revenue
by repealing the taxes upon tobacco,
which are an annoyance and burden
to agriculture, and the tax upon the spir-
its used in the arts and for mechanical
purposes, and by such revision of the
tariff laws as will tend to check imports
of such articles % are produced by our
people, the production of which gives en-
ployment to our labor, and release from
import duties those articles of foreign pro-

.'Webster tells us that ''pluck" is
the ..inelegant'' for courage; but it is
derived from word in the terse and
vigorous old Saxon tongue. signifying
energetic effort, and is curt and ex-
pressive, if not euphonious. However,
opinions may differ as to its admis-

phraseology, we will have an admira-

For the consolation of those who have
it not by nature, let us say that it may

result of sound reasoning. One of

cording to the testimony of his init

that his bold and br@sque style OF
treating his patients was adopted from

that he sometimes went into the other

faltering.

Will the Workingmen Vote for
Reduction of Their Own Wages.
Workingmen in the United States fire.
quently engage in strikes to Increase their
wages, on the ground that they are not
getting fair shar, of earnings. This
fall the question will come up in more
direct form. Will they vote for a reduc-
tion of their wages? For that will be
the inevitable result of breaking down
the protective system and establishing
tariff on the basis laid down IN President
Cleveand's message.
Mr.. Blaine, in his pithy speech on his
arrival in New York harbor, crystalized
the facts and the issue so clearly tina
every workingman should cut out this
paragraph and paste it in bis hat !:
II say that the wages of the American
laborer cannot be reduced except with
the consent and the votes Of the American
laborer himself. The appeal lies to him.
1t comes to his door and asks him whether,
with the great power of the franchise and
the great majority he possess sin his own
hands, he is willing for himself and his
associates, his children and his children's
children, to take that fatal step, at the
bidding of an American Congress and an
American president who gre governed by

MUSICAL SAN ANTONIO.

The cultivation of the fine arts al
ways exercises refining influence
upon those engaged or interested in
them, and on this account, if on no
other, is to be encouraged as an edu-
cational factor. San Antonio, though
making no boast as the educational
center of Texas, can show very lauda-
BILE improvements in the fine arts dur
ing the past two or three years, and
there is evidently deeper interest in
matters of painting and sculpture,
than ever before. Side by side with
these, San Antonio has developed her
taste for music, her reputation as a
musical center, having long been es-
tablished. This taste is exhibited on
every occasion when musical enter
tainments are presented to our people,
be they amateur or professional per-
formances. Nothing draws like mu-
sic in the Old Alamo City. Only let
concert be announced, and the
Grand opera house, or Turner hall, or
the Casino, as the case may be, is
filled to overlooking, and the
enthusiastic applause which greets
every meritorous perfo. nance
alSests the strong hold, the
abiding place which musical en-
tertainments have in the affections of
our people. All that is necessary 10
| be known is that an opera or a con-
| cert is to be given and that the execu-
ton promises to be creditable, aud the
announcement will fill any hall iu
this city. By no means the least
meritorious of such performances have
been those of our home musicians,
and the concert of the Fidelia club,
advertised for the Casino hall tomor-
row evening, promises to be one OF
the very best of these amateur con-
certs. The members of this club have
taken very deep interest in musical
study, have practiced assiduously and
from the ground of such practice the
very best results may be expected
when the club appears upon the stage
of the Casino. The best vocal aud in
strumental talent of this city will be
gathered together for that perform
ance, and the LIGHT is assured by
those who have both the opportunity
and the musical connoiseurship neces-
sary to sound judgment that an Ell.
tertainment scarcely second to that OF
the State Saengerfest may be expec-
ted. The lovers of musical mum bers,
of classic music, should not permit
this opportunity to pass without en-
bracing it. A two-fold object will be
obtained. A stimulus and an encour-
agement will be given the members
of the club, particularly the younger
members, and very pleasant and
inspiring musical entertainment will
be enjoyed by those who attend.
