WHAT means the Bandera Bugle man
in the following, concerning democratic
congressional nominees in this District:
The Hon. Gus Houston Of San An
tonic, is being spoken Of for this con-
gressional district. he is good man,
but being the nominee of the Express,
that damns him"
The article has hardly the merit of
damning by faint praise, and will not
effect the ordainments of inevitable
destiny.

RIDING ROSS RANGERS.

That ingram, dIed-in-the-wool,f forty
inch-wide democratic sheet, the Dallas
Times. Herald, has heard Of tine Whar-
ton county ouIrages at last and faVors
his bourbon constituency with the fol-
lowing:
1.-The gentlemen down In south Texas
who protested against the governor
sending rangers into Wharton county
have not been heard from since he wrote
them. They either have no stamps or
have nothing more to say. 1t has been
remarked of Governor Ross that If any
trouble came up in Texas he would take
hand, and taking a hand he would do
his work thoroughly"
Thankful for even small favors. 1t
will not be lost sight Of however, that
In this as in other cases to which the
LIGHT has called attention, the denun-
citation Of the democratic journal ia not
against the damnsble crime, the murder
In cold blood Of seven innocent colored
men who were In the pesceable exercise
of their rights as established in court,
the denunciation is not against this
crime, but against remembrance sent
to Governor Ross. The authority OF the
democratic governor with a democratic
majority of 150, 900 at his back was ques-
toned and, presto, the walls OF demo-
cratic Indignation are uncorked, but the
murder Of seven innocent men provOkes
no comment. Shame on the sense of JUS
tioe that so perverts human conceptions
ofright! Shame on the men that strain
at match and swallow q saw mill 10
that fashion. The LIGHT joins the Dali
las Herald heartily in what it says con-
corning Gov. Ross In the above extract.
But the LIGHT would feel much more
satisfaction in approving that action,
had 1t been preceded on the part
OF the democratic press, by a
condemnation Of the foul murder
which caused 1t. Not that the LIGHT
holds Governor Ross responsible for the
tetsnus which seized the whole demo.
cratic fraternity of editors In Texas
when the murder was given in the news
columns Of their journals, not ar all.
Gov. Ross mas his own sins to ans wer
for, but the LIGHT takes hearty and SIN
oere pleasure In noting that he has not
followed the lead Of the democratic press
and kept silent concerning this out
ragous assault upon the lives Of inno-
cent men by armed desperadoes, even il
the slaughtered innOcents were little
darker In color than the regulation
democratic idea has accepted as just the
thing. What the LIGHT does censure is
the attempt OF democratic journals,
which were silent ss oysters concern
ing the murders and the bloody outrages
themselves, trying to ride into recogni-
ton, on the back Of Gov. Ross rangers,
as fsir-minded and honestly indignant
denouncers OF damnable and foul muir
der. 1t is too late in the day to assume
that role now, and the democratic press
OF this state have to face their record in
this thing; that record is this, the muir.

WEATHER SIGNALS.

WEATHER SIGNALS.
There is only one thing prevents the
proper display of weather signals at this
station. viz: Lack of funds where with
to make the removal of the office, and
that ia all that can be said about 1t.
Communication from the signal Office
at Washington contain the assurance
that so soon as the signal office at Wash
ington ia Informed that San Antonio has
the flags and the room, the signal Office
will order the display. The cost OF the
flags and the cost OF making the ex-
change Of quarters would fall upon the
citizens here. There will be no rent for
signal service officer to pay, as Mr.. Nav
eriok has very generously offered q
room for that purpose, rent free, In his
bank building, until the completion Of
the governments own building just
across the street. As the LIGHT has pre-
viously noted, the entire cost for flags
and the removal of the office to this CITY
would only cost about fifty dollars, and
IL uOCo bCO" 90 ShOuku sAos ououhs
should be forthcoming for the mere men
ton of it. The display Of those flags
would tell, on sight, the story of sp-
preaching northers, and give intimations
of weather changes which would be
most desirable to be known by men en-
gagged In business, or by parties bent on
pleasure. Those signals would also help
advertise this city. The daily bulletin
of representations as thus indicated
would keep the name Of the city con-
ct antly before the people Of this and
other states. Strangers within our gates
would note the display OF those
signals and read in them one more proof
Of San Ant0nio's emergence from her
old time condition OF sluggish inactlon
and back action which has so often been
commented upon to her discredit and
disadvantage. The amount OF money
required to insure the change required,
and place that signal Office in the sky
parlor of Mavericks bank building
fully equipped with all the necessary
flags, is so small that some public spirit
ed individual could easily confer ever
lasting distinction upon himsel! by
donating the amount. The matter how
ever falls legitimstely within the pre-
vince OF the Board Of Trade, which is
more than mere commercial corpora
tion as existing in this city, and the at
tention of that public spirited and wide
awake oorporation.is again respectfully
called to the fact that an outlay by this
city of $4,000 will secure the display of
weather signals from the top Of the
Maverick bank building, where they can
be distinctly seen and read from all
parts Of the city. There is nothing
wooden headed about San Antonio
Board of Trade, and by plsnking down
the $4,000 required, they would make a
good deal for the city. The apprOpria-
tions made for the maintenance Of the
signal service are hardly adequate to
the present demands of the department,
or there might be no necessity for
making even this small demand upon
the citizens, but as 1t now stands they
must provide funds for the removal of
the office or the office can not be

A SERIOUS FIRE.
A Blaze on Nicollet Avenue Does
$4,000 Damage.

At an early hour last evening the FIRE
department was called to pa Nicoltet
avenue by fire in the tailOrS' trim
mings establishment Of Frank w.
Greaves, on the second floor. The fire
lasted but short time and did not do
$50 worth of damage to the building. yet
the loss to Mr.. GreaveS will not rail-
far short of 5000. His place was tliled
with a $1,000 stock of suitings, silks and
the like. all of which were nearly totally
destroyed or badly damaged by the IN
tense heat and thick smoke. The hre
started near the center OF the room,
under a table, on which were piled
huge bolts of silks. The firemen. by
hard work. prevented the flames from
getting 4 hold on the woodwork OF the
building. Mr.. Greaves was summoned
by telephone to his place, which he
had left not an hour before. lie
said his stock was valued at
about $1,000. that his insurance was
something over $4,000, and that the
loss would amount to $4,000 or over.
The only explanation of the fire that ne
could give was that one of his clerks IN
packing up bundle of goods TO ship TO
Chaska had allowed sparks from a
burning paper to fall into the package.
His vieW.Of the matter was rather borne
by the fact that the fire had started at
the place where the bundle stood.

A MEMORY FOR MAYOR.

The Republicans OF Minneapolis have
nominated for mayor a memOry-noth-

ing whatever but the recollection Of
the struggle of twenty-five years past.
He was nominated simply as an appeal
TO that small and honOred, but rapidly
diminishing element. the old soldier.
Sentiment, not sense nor reason.
prompted his nomination. Capt. Babb
is a pleasant, genial gentleman. OF whom
the worst thing that can be said Is. he
has no enemies. BE has no faculty for
making enemies. One OF his own blocks
of ice gives as little cause for animOsity
as he does. When one says of him he
Is a nice. honest gentleman,O one has said
everything.
But for timber for the mayOralty Of
the great and growing city OF Mime
apOlis. those who have the interest of
that city at heart will demand a little
more. If a sentiment is to dictate the
next mayor OF Minneapolis. it must be a
sentiment that viii appeal to those
elements which inspire and promote our
greatness. 1t must be a sentiment or
work for the present and hope 1or the
future. not merely OF recollection OF the
past. 1t must be a sentiment that viii
appeal to the progressive youth, the
buOyant hope. the indOmitable enter
prise. the irresistible onward march
OF MinneapOiis-nOU merely OF the
dead past. such a sentiment will not,
can not ana should not win. And yet 1t
was in perfect sympathy and accord
with the Republican line OfthOught and
action. The party in Minneapolis has
been the neyer-faiIing exponent of retro
erosion. With the blue laws Of Con-
necticut ever before its eyes. the party
stands with its face in the corner and
prays IOr a return OF the good ola times.
Without hope for the future. it lives en-
tireIy in the past. Such is its policy
ana Capt. Babb's nomination is natu-

The pushing. hustling. aggressive
Blethen might have attracted enough
votes to insure election; the talented
young BOardman. whose nomination
would have shown young men that Min
ueapOliS delights 10 honor and encOur-
age youth. might have rallied about him
enough independent voters to carry
him through: the practical foresight.th
experience and the business sagaciJy
and ability of Cooley might have carried
an election: but Capt. Babb viii 20 TO
