A Dig In the Ribs,

If on the right side and lower part of the
aphragm, though playfully meant and de-
livered, IS calculated to evoke profanity from
that region is sore and congested, pokes seem
fiendish. Look at man's countenance ere
you prod him under the ribs. If his skin and
eyeballs have a sallow tinge, you may infer
also that his tongue is furred, his breath apt
to be sour, that he has pains not only beneath
his ribs, but also under the right shoulder
his digestion impaired. Instead of making a
tocose demonstration on his ribs, recommend
him to take. and steadily persist in taking,

Are We to Have Warp

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may, the battle waged
by medical science against disease, will
never cease until we arrive at that utOpan
epoch when the human family shall cease

the most potent weapons which the armOry

Stomach Bitters, which is of special utility
as family remedy, as it is adapted to the
immediate relief and ultimate cure of those
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which are of cOmmOneSt occurrence Indi-
gestiOn, billiOuSneSS and constipation are
inseparable companions, and these ailments
are completely eradicated by the Bitters,

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.

THE Sherman Register is Of opinion
that those who live by the newspaper
and are benefited thereby, should
give the newspaper the wherewith to
exist. The Register says:
"The Register proposes to make a
fight for Sherman just in the degree
that Sherman patronizes it. We don't
expect o OverdO the town. There are
men in this town who find dollars to
throw away on every clap-trap, itin-
Grant advertising adventurer, who be-
grudge every cent they pay to local
newspapers, and yet these enterpris-
ing" dealers expect everything to be
smiles from the local papers,"
There is point at which even news
papers must draw the line and the
Sherman Register seems to have very
nearly reached that point. If some
public enterprises received no more
from newspapers than they gave,
there would be a change come over
the dream of many municipalities.
The Register is not far from the king
dom of truth.

HAVING secured the location of the
machiue shops of the Mexican Ma
tional railroad, the Laredo people are
looking around for some other enter
prises or industries into which to in
duce capital to venture. The Times
thinks a wooden mill would fill the
bill and says:
GA wooden mill is the next thing in
order; one costing 100000, as the cap
ital stock, would employ $50 opera
tives, greatly increase the trade of
Laredo, and prove a bonanza to the
owners. Let any man who reads this,
and has money to invest in a sure
paying enterprise, enquire into the
advantages offered by Laredo for the
erection of a wooden mill. If he
would prosecute the enquiry fully and
examine thoroughly into the matter
the conclusion would undoubtedly be
reached that no other point offers as
many advantager for the location of
such as enterprise"
San Antonio has been moving for a
wooden mill lately. With what re-
suit, will those engaged in fathering
the enterprise let the readers of the
LIGHT know?

The Galveston Evening Tribune,
referring to the LIGHTS comment on
the work of the Reform club of this
city, says:
"Please let us know if your club
makes bowling success of the I'M
dertaking, as we may want to borrow
that or some other club for a short en-
gagement few months hence"
The Tribune will be duly informed
of the result after the same has been
demonstrated. AS for the bowling
there will be weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth, if the same old
man of the sea is fastened on the
municipal back of this burg for the
next two years. San Antonio may be
the wickedest city on the continent
but she has long ago expiated her
transgressions and her most bitter
enemy can but commisserate her
mistortunes, lying PROSTATE as she
does under the hand of a municipal
mismanagement that fairly strikes
her dumb with inaction and inertia.
WACO must be on the plain high
way to prosperity if the following
from the Day is faithful portracture
of the facts in the case:
"There are very few men in Waco
now who are Indifferent to the i'm
portance of acquiring manufacturing
ndustries-mOre wage-earners and
something for the wage-earners to
do.n
When any city in Texas is alive to
the Importance of acquiring manufac'
turing industries, so fully alive that
only few men remain unmoved by
the spirit of manufacturing enterprise,
her future is assured. If all but few
men in San Antonio were alive to this
work of fostering manufacturing en-
terprse the old city would double her
in four years.
THE Eagle Pass Guide having adj
vertised for "a bat cave, containing
an abundant deposit of guano," the
Floresville Chronicle rises to remark:
"The Guide should open negotia-
tons with Bryan Callaghan, mayor of
San Antonio. The city has "bat
cave" that would probably fill the
bill and could be bought reason
ably"
The city has other "reminiscences
besides a bat cave that it would glad
Iy part with if it could get rid of
them.

RANDOM SHOTS.
Comments Upon Opinions That Are
Heard on the Street.

The question asked in this election
is "Can the Mexican votes of 200
control the 1900 votes of the real or
naturalzed American ciIizens?" That
the Mexican community should be
fairly represented is, of course, only a
matter of justice but is it right that
an alien minority should control
natural majority?
~
If Callaghan is elected is there any
reason why we cannot have board
of aldermen, not mere "lumber
stock" that will have the ability and
the grit to oppose him when they
know that he is not acting rightly, or
for the benefit of the city? This,
though vexatiOus to the mayor,
would benefit him in reality and
would certainly be Of advantage to
the city.
~
The colored independent club are
taking an interest in the city election,
Callaghan nominees. There are also
Mexican workers across the San Pc
dro who will take the same course.
what is the strength of this oppOsi-
ton and what influence will it bear
upon the election To these questions
no satisfactory answer has yet been
given.
~
| Opposition seems to pay. 1t Is no.
ticed that one politician-a "horny-
handed" one (?)-whO some time ago
opposed the ring, but who latterly
has been working for ring candidates,
is now in possession of a good job on
the city's pay rolls. OF course, Bryan
takes care of his friends and OLeary
has been rewarded, but where, oh
where, does Kunzman come in?
AN exchange says that the action of
the members of the 21st legislature in
bringing their sons and relatives to
Austin to have them appointed as
pages, clerks, ETC., is exciting a great
deal of unfriendly criticism. Has not
that exchange read that, he who re-
fuses to provide for those of his own
household has denied the faith and is
worse than an infidel. 1t may be that
said members have no other way of
providing for those of their house
holds and why deny them this oppor-
tunity? Is not public Office pub
lie trust and can not the good demo-
Gratis of Texas trust the sons of their
legislators to hold simple office such
as clerk or page? Perish such dis
trust of the sons of Texas sires.
