COL. BOB BOBS UP.

Yesterdays dispatches contain a
statement from Col. Abner Taylor,
concerning the cause which led to
the importation of contract stone
cutters from Scotland. These he said
were; first, the changing.the original
plans from limestone to granite, and
the refusal of the Texas stone cutters
to work upon stone that had been
quarrled by convicts. Col. Taylor
must correct this statement to make
it 90 down in Texas. 1t is true, that
Gus. Wilkie, the contractor, was
allowed the use of convict labor to
quarry his granite as an offset to the
limestone and the granite, as stated
by Col. BIB. Taylor, but the refusal of
the Texas stone cutters to work upon
that stone was not because it was
,quarried by convicts, but because con-
victs were put to work dressing that
stone under instructions of master
stone cutters, and such cOnvicts
were beeing educated as stone
cutters to take the place of
honest mechanics. 1t was the at
tempt of Wilke to compel honest me-
chanics to work side by side with
penitentiary felOns that caused all
union stone masOns not only in Texas
but in the United States to cut that
job. And to beat the American stone
cutters because they would not lower
themselves to the level of convict la
borers, the contractor of the state capt.
toll imported contract scab labor from
Scotland, and the great state of Texas
refused to prosecute for the gross and
open violation of national law of
which Wilkie was guilty in thus do
ing. The thing cannot be explained
away. The democratic attorney gen.
eral of this state and the whole demo-
cratic administration which permitted
this gross violation of law and put this
damnable insult upon the stone cutters
of Texas, should be held to strict ac-
count at the poles for the deed, and
not one of these men should ever
hereafter receive vote for any Office
at the hands of the workingmen OF
this state. The democratic administers
ton was an accessory after the fact,
and, perhaps, before it, and for their
participation in an act which was an
insult to every honest free mechanic
in the nation, they should be spotted
for all time to come. Col. BIB. Taylor's
explanation does not explain. No cir
-cumstances justify the violation of a
great national law by state authOri-
ties, for this was virtually state mat,
ter, and the stigma of this convict
labor and contract scab labor from
abroad will ever rest upon the great
state of Texas and leave a blot upon
the stately walls of its capitol.

Some men are born advertisers,
others achieve success in drawing
the attention of the public to their en-
terprise only by long practice and
costly experiment. The average man
obliged to advertise because all his
competitors are securing business in
that way, aspires to little more than
intelligent imitation of the best eX-
amples. To him, therefore, record
of what is being done in the adver-
Using world is of the utmost impor-
lance. The Office, published at No.
81 College Place, New York, main
tains department devoted to the dis
cussion of advertising as an art, and
it's articles on this subject are attract
ing marked attention. In the July
number there is commenced a series
of articles on Magazine Advertise
ing" in which is presented an array
of facts that every advertiser will be
profitted by reading. These articles,
we learn, are to be followed in course
by others, treating of various other
branches of advertising-all written
in the interest of the men who spend
the money, and not in the interest of
the advertising agencies, nor of the
publishers.

Democracy At a Discount There.
Warren Chronicle.
1t has taken years of toll and pains
taking and money outlay, on the part
of the wool growers of Trumbull coun-
ty. to bring their product to the excep-
tionally high state of superiority
which it has reached. That all this
labor and care and expense should be
made practically worthless by vicious
free trade legislation, is most serious
matter and a blow to the prosperity OF
a great agricultural interest, the in

lesser degree the welfare of every

We do not know that the senate is
called upon to offer any substitute for
the Mills tariff bill. If referred to the
usual committee and hung up until
next winter the campaign issue will
be upon its endorsement or rejection,
and the people will have a chance to
vote upon.it. That vote will be an in

next winter. The republicans are
ready to meet this naked issue, and
the democracy ought not to be afraid

THE money for the erection of the
new city hall in this city was provid-
ed as a special fund. A certain amount
was specified for that purpose and
that amount only was provided for.
The contract as awarded covers that
entire amount, and several thousand
dollars more, and yet the salaries of
superintendent and other expenses
aggregating some thousands are still
unmet. The LIGHT is not a lawyer
nor the son of lawyer, but it gravely
questions the legality of the contract
as awarded, on the ground that it
calls for more money than was au-
thorized in the levy under which the
funds for such building were raised.
Will some legal gentleman answer
whether this is or is not so, and give
the LIGHT the document for publica-
ton.

Xalapa when l visited the place last
year, though my stay was short
one. Yet it was not with alacrity
that came back this time, for the
trip was an inconvenience, and in
terfered with other matters of impor-

in Mexico said, with some degree OF
impatience: Every well; remain

it is not so very low either; 1885 feet,
l believe, is the accurate figure; but
the vegetation may fairly be called
tropical. Coffee plantations abound
here, and produce richly; my hostess
has some plants in her garden from
which she gathers about arrobas, or
l25 pounds annually. Bananas
pineapples, magnolias, liquid-amber-
trees and the like flourish, and the
tree-fern grows by hundreds. The
whole region is a fern-bank; from
every hedge-wall - for the fences
there are of stones-on the tile roofs.

ries are positively tasteless,

scarlet, an exact copy of the toy ber-
ries som etimes seen in Swiss wood
work. Their blossoms are not white,
but yellow. The flora is very rich
here. Calladium is a weed in the
bitches. There is an exquisite wild
flower, called by the natives pink
jasmine, which grows on a shrub at
the waterside and fills the air with
fragrance; and asclepius, and cole
nina, and score of other plants which
we carefully nurse in the gardens in
California. Orchids almost too abund-
ant; many of the trees are killed, chok-
ed out by them. They bear spikes or ra-
GENES OF flowers, scarlet yellow, purple;

In hue and shape strongly resembling

There is another flower, trailer, in
describably beautiful, which bears
punches or sprays yard long of
blossoms in form and color almost
the counterpart Of purple hyacinths.
There are many valuable medicinal

EDITOR BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN -
You will remember that when I last
met you was quite i'll, and will add
that have been confined to my room
most of the time since. You will
also remember that we had some con-
siderable conversation relative to the
Fish Commission muddle. AS l am
feeling somewhat better to-day,
I have concluded to write you
some facts. You are aware that l
have done much work in the past year,
and accomplished considerable good
to that interest, of course, having been
backed by my colleagues, Routier and
Harvey. Six good fishways have been
built on the Truckee river. at the sew
eral dams, leaving that stream
in such condition that fish can
now pass from Pyramid Lake
in Nevada to Lake Tahoe, which has
not been the case before in many
years. Fishways have been built at
dams Of several other streams, five or
six at least, and much good has thus
been done in this direction. had
made arrangements with the lumber
men at Truckee by which they were
to contribute lumber for me to build a

I had secured the donation OF land
and water privilege in very beauti-
full location, with plenty OF spring
water to run hatchery and nurser-
les. had the plan all done and esti-
mates OF lumber ready for building
20x4O feet and which would turn out
million young fry each season and
being handy to Tahoe, Inde-
pendence, Webber and Donner Lakes
could furnish fine variety Of fish.

April 1st at this, having got the sup

Although the newspapers have said
SO much about her within the past

to be nothing left for me to say; feel
as though could not permit her tc
leave Los Angeles without letting
everybody know how charming
think she is. am rustic enough to

out Of morning before anybody but
milkmen and mechanics are to be seen
upon The streets 1 never realize the alb
normal hours am keeping until sur
prise some one at breakfast, or arouse
slumbering household by pulling
the doorbell. I make this statement,
not as bit Of personal history, but
to explain how it was that Miss Field
secured my card before her shutters
were opened. Well, she joined me in
the parlor Of the Hotel Westminster
short time later, and, as though it
was the most natural thing in the
world, asked me to accompany her to
the dining-room. While she leisurely
partook of her breakfast she enter.
tanned me in the most delightful man
ner. There is an orig nality and a
vivacity about everything she says,
while she is sufficiently Cosmopolitan
to interlard her most casual re-
marks with witty "reminiscences
or graphic descriptions of the
multitudinous places with which she
has been identified. She can make
people .augh as easily as most women
can make them yawn, but she can at
will, too, awaken interest and SYM
pathy. She gave me the simplest but
most amusing account of struggle
over an open window which she rec.
emily Witnessed in a railway car. The
contestants were lady with rush-of-
blood to the head, and a correspond
ing demand for air, and a consump-
tive gentleman, with violent terror
of drafts, and who was enveloped in
blankets and furs. Then she de
scribed the Lotharian exploits and
the tragic end of blooded dog who
came West, turned Bohemian, and fin
ally died ingloriously from injuries re-
ceiyed in duel with a plebeian canine.
AT it's close she asked me to repeat
the story and to point out the moral
to an Irish setter to whom am de-
voted, and who, although he was born
in the Quaker City, is plunging head
long into the vortex OF dissipation.
But what entertained me most was
her laughable description of inter-
views with some Of the feminine crus-
aders Of the Pacific Slope. "They
seem to think" said Miss Fields.
"that because am interested in Nor.
monism,I i must be interested in every
other cause, too; and SO they all
claim me as sister, and expect me
to espouse the insane hobbies they
represent"
