PRESIDENT HARRISON'S POLICY.
A well known republican of this
state, of national reputation, has
written to the LIGHT very volume
nous communication Oh the above
topic. That communication is most
clear and forcible and deals almost
exclusively with the southern ques-
tion $50 called" 1t enquiries what
President Harrison will do in the cases
of eight southern states including
Texas; concerning which this gentle
man says:
1T is a notorious fact, and one that
has passed into public political his
tory, that since the November cleo
ton 1876, there has been no fair con-
gressiOnal election, in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, labama, MISSISSIPPI
pi, louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas.
To deny this Is absurd and demo-
Gratis, who have repu tations to loose,
will not so do; but rather choose to
admit the facts and justify the same,
on the grounds of necessity
Concerning President Harrison's
policy in this particular case the
writer speaks very plainly, but the
LIGHT prefers to wait the announce
ment of that policy in the Presidents
inaugural messages and in the pro-
CARNATIONS that may ensue.
The remarks of the writer on the
question of appointments are brief
and are given in full as follows:
"The second and unimpOrtant
point on which many persons are
anxious to fathOm General Har-
rison's policy, is removals from office
On this point, we have good reasons
to believe that Gen. Harrison has
formulated a general and just policy
That policy is, that in cases where
Cleveland removed or suspended re-
publicans from office solely to make
places for democrats, such democrats
will be bounced at once and the offices
given to republicans. Otherwise
than this he cannot do; for if he re-
tains for one hour in office, democrat
who got the place of republican, by
a removal or suspension of a republic
can, he makes himself a party to
such removal or suspension of re-
publican.
In cases where the office, in
legal way, which become vacant
under Cleveland 10y death, resigna-
tiou, or expiration IF office, or corrup-
ton in office and has been filled by a
democrat; and that democrat has dis
charged his duties in reasonably
satisfactory manner, and will prevent
no obstacle to republican principles
and methods, he will not be suspend
ed or removed, but will be allowed to
serve his time (if not too long out.
AS to democratic designations, none
are expected. Democrats never give
up willingly, power or place"

man of his southern constituency
were well received and his fervid de-
nunciations of all sectionaIism were
accepted in New England as marking
new era in southern sentiment. His
tongue is silent, his voice is hushed

The Galveston News thinks that
the San Antonio LIGHT is moved by
mean jealousy in its references to the
report of the government engineers.
The LIGHT begs most respectfully to
dissent from this judgment. 1t is
only moved by desire for deep water
in the shortest space of time. The
disbursement of Sc, 100000 in Calves
ton is all right. Against that little
experiment the LIGHT has not one
word to say. Its personal share of
that $4,000, 900 is not very much any
way, and were it more Galveston
would be perfectly welcome to it.
Not that Mr.. News, not that but this,
the whole country will be kept wait
ing for the building of that ten miles
of jetty. This is all that the LIGHT
objects to. 1t did discredit the report
and therein showed a greater faith in
the practical wisdom of the board
than after knowledge justifies. In
the opinion that Galveston is the
largest city on the coast the LIGHT
most cordially concurs.

THE LIGHT acknowledges receipt of
a descriptive pamphlet covering 200
pages, setting forth the growth and
advantages of Tacoma, Washington,
but does not know whom to thank for
it unless it be V. Sternberger. The
information conveyed is full and ex-
pIicit. Valuation of property has in
creased from half million in 1880 to
$40, 600, 900 in 1889; population from 100
in 1880 to $4,000 in 1889. These are
the measures of the prosperity and
growth of this new and thriving city
of the far away northwest.
