THE lie concerning the meeting of
the Texas State Republican Executive
Committee meeting in Austin con-
tinues to make its everlasting rounds
in the democratic journals of the coun-
try. Even the South West at Fort
Worth, which claims to be the organ
of a fair-minded constituency and in
terested in the truth of things, gives
vent to the following as an editorial
note, and thus avowing it as fact
1.-THE State Republican Executive
Committee met at Austin last Satur-
day, to consider among other things
how a judicious distribution of federal
patronage in Texas might benefit the
party. J. G. DeGress and Wright
Quincy were selected to go to Wash
ington to assist in awarding the
prizes"
The LIGHT has so frequently
branded statements of this kind as
unqualifiedly false that the task
grows monotonous. The committee
met for no such purpose as is declared
above, and took no such action as is
there stated. The LIGHT has the pa
pers to prove this assertion.

takably that the government party
are on the wane. The Gladstonites
with the members elected in non
partisan districts will control the city
council and under the new law giving
additional power of self government
to the council the control of matters
will be largely taken out of the hands
of Salisbury's tory government. 1t
is decided victory for the liberals

THE Houston Post in its yesterdays
issue contains an editorial on the pro-
posed railway commissioners bill
which is as full of common sense and
sound financial statement as any,
thing that has yet appeared upon this
subject. 1t scores the attempt to turn
over the railway interests of the state
to three untried men and proves from
the incOntrOvertible logic Of figures
that the reduction of rates from fifty
cents to thirty cents would bankrupt
every road in Texas. Comparing this
proposed rate OF thirty cents, the
Brown bill schedule, with the rates
fixed by commission IN other states 1t
shows rate Of seventy-five cen is for
California, seventy-two cents for A la
bama, sixty cents for Mississippi,
fifty-four cents for Georgia, fifty-three
cents for Missouri, and fitty-two cen is
each for Kansas and Nebraska. This
is, on an average, about double the
rate proposed for Texas; and Texas
roads, as the LIGHT has previously
shown, have double the distance to
carry that the roads of any IF the
states cited have. This practically re-
duces the rates as proposed In the
Brown schedule to about thirty per
cent of the rate made in other states
where railway commissions have
been created. Texas will 90 the short
road to ruin under such regulations.

AMONG other objections urged
against the railway commission bill,
now pending in the Legislature of this
state, is that of its unconstitutionality,
and ex-Chief-Justice Roberts is
quoted as authority in support of this
view. Those who assume to know
are OF the opinion that if passed Gov.
Ross will veto it.

The Eel Paso Tribune tries it's
prentice hand at cabinet making, or
unmaking, and attempts to knock a
hole in the bottom of nothingness as
follows:
"There is no evidence of the decided
ability of John G. New, of Indianapo-
lis, for a cabinet position. The Tri-
bune cannot see why General Harri-
son should appoint a man of News
calibre to such an exalted position ex-
cept for the reason that he has been
useful to the general, and has been
engaged i'm the lowest and worst
works of politics"
The outgoing cabinet has not
demon strated the fact that decided
ability is necessary to a cabinet posi-
ton, has it, Mr.. Tribune? Ifnot, why
kick? New can give Bayard points
on brains at any rate. All the same,
New is not there, and may never be.
Let the Tribune man wait and see
what he has to kick at before strain
ing the fleXor and eXtensor muscles of
his right leg.

THE PRESTON TRUCK AccEprEp.

X Machine That May Prove a White
 Elephant.
 The official test of the new Preston truck was made before the mayor, the board of fire commissioners, Chief Snagg
 and large number of the members of
 the fire department last evening. The first exhibition was given in front of City hall and the ladder was extended and adjusted to tower window in sixty eight seconds. Fireman Bolger ascend ed to the topmost round of the ladder. which was whirled around and lowered with the fireman upon top.
 At the Soldiers monument the ladder was extended nearly fifty-tive feet, two lines of hose were run up and three men took positions upon the ladder to look after the hose.
 At o'clock the board held their ad- journed meeting with Mayor Boughton
 in the chair. The contract was produced and it was found that the truck was properly equipped The machine weighs : ,190 pounds. Mir Jenkins of the Preston company addressed the board and said that the company had no object in mak- ing the truck heavier than the contract called for except to make it more ser viceable. The company, he said, were obliged to guarantee their work and If
 the weight had been confined to 5000 pounds the OOaru WOulu uot nave dCSept- ed it. The turn table, he said, was lar ger and stronger than the contract called for.
 Commissioner Roberts objected to the truck on the ground that it weighed more than the contract called for. Commissioner Kelly said that he had always opposed truck as too heavy for this city. but as the city and board had voted him down he had been obliged to move for the purchase of this truck because he considered it the best. He did not think the violation of the con- tract a bad one because it was made in the interest of making the machine more durable and stronger. He moved that it be accepted.
 Commissioner Connolly seconded the
 motion. the vote resulting in tie. Commissioners Vail and Roberts svoted in the negative. The mayor decided the
 matter by voting in the affirmative.
 The board then appointed William Dodds to temporarily fill the position of tillerman of the new truck and appoint ed Commissioners Kelly and Roberts a
 committee to have the old truck repair
 ed and placed in Protector company's
 house in the Brooklyn district.

CARTWRIGHT STILL LEADS.
The second Evenings Workin the Six
 Days Race.

 The second Evenings workin the Six
 Days Race.
 A fair sized audience was present at the rink last night and the pedestrians rewarded them for their presence. Con- tinued spurts were the marked features of the evenings race and as each favor ite sped by his competitors correspond ing cheer came from his friends. It is anyone's race as yet although Cart wright is slowly edging away from his rivals. He is in fine form and always takes the lead in the spurts. He has in- creased his lead over Hegelman by three miles and one lap. Hegelman still holds the second place, although pushed hard by Connors, who has gained a few laps. Hegelman watches his men like hawk does its prey and it will be hard work to wrest second place from him. Connors still trots along with that pleasant smile on his face and is making brave fight for place. Golden, who at the start was all stitfened up, limbered out before he had gone many miles and then swinging his head from side to side and with sort of gallop motion kept up continual hustle during the evening. Old man Taylor was the cen Ire of attraction last night. He made them all hustle and it would be no sur prise if he ran some of the younger boys off their feet. At any rate they are all afraid of him as was evidenced by the many futile attempts to break the old man up last night. A sympathizer in the audience took up a collection and realized quite sum for the old veteran. Carlton has many friends for his indom- itable pluck in staying on the track. He has dropped to last place, however. but made many a spurt last night which gave him the general applause of the audience. The score at the close was as
