Horse Blankets whichare strong

initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer

Some dealers buy these poor

sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.

DISFRANCHISEMENI' FOR CRIME

The complete Acknowledgement of men
who have been guilty of the lesser offenses
would not be just or expedient. Such
men ought to have space for reforma-
tlon. The first term of their disfrauchise-
ment might we'll be brief CONVICTION
for drunkenness or disorderlv conduct
might exclude from the polls for one year.
More serious misdemeanors might entail
a longer distranchisement. And it would
be we'll to give large discretion to the au-
thorities who grant pardons, and who reg
ulate indeterminate sentences, that they
may restore the suffrage more speedily to-
those whose conduct in prison has been
exceptionally good. But we should make
sure that every conviction under the
criminal law work somes temporary for
fixture of political privilege. We should
make it plain to the dullest mind that
good conduct is the indispensable con
dition of the possession of the franchise;
that those who wish to take part in max
ing the laws must refrain from violating
the laws.
Some offenses should be followed, as
now. by perpetual disfranchisement.
That all ''felonles" should incur this pen
atty IS not at all clear; many of those
committed to our prisons for crimes of
passion may, under proper care. be re-
formed and rendered useful members of
the state. The door should by no means
be forever closed against them, nor
should the opening of it be left to execu
tive clemency. The felon's record in
prison, should determine whether he may
after a space, be restored to full political
privileges. But there is one class of
crimes for which the laws of many of
our states do not entail any political dis
abilities, which ought to be punished
everywhere by the final forfeiture of 20
litical power. These are the crimes
against the suffrage itself-hribery, both
in the briber and the bribed, fraudulent
voting. the classifying of returns and the
like. No man convicted of one of these
crimes ought ever to be permitted to vote
again. Some of the states with moral
obtuseness on this point which IS posi-
lively grotesque, provide that a man
caught in attempting crime of this na.
ture shall lose his vote Gin that election"
What sense Of the sacredpess of the
suffrage the men must have had who
could frame into statute such grin
ming jibe as that The man who strikes
with poisoned dagger at the very heart
of the Republlc-he shall not be allowed
to vote ''in that election" Could the
force of ant: climax-and of priori the
ory-go farther? Such an offender de-
serves to be banlshed and forbidden ever
again to set foot upon our soil under
penalty of death; certainly the lightest
punishment that can with justice be
melted out to him is perpetual exclusion
from the franchlse.-Dr GLADDEN. in Feb

EQUAL RIGHTS.

Under this caption the present adj
ministration of municipal affairs,
Callaghanically administered, issue
an address to the voters of this city
assailing the action of the Reform
club and putting ticket before the
people. The address, as published
in the Times, has but one note, trace
issue;" it has but one thought trace
issue;" it has but one object, to en-
gender prejudice against the nomi-
nees of the Reform club on the ground
of Grace issue" The LIGHT en-
dorsed the nominations of the Reform
club not because they were the best
hat might have been made, but be-
cause they were the best that were
likely to be made, and in this
opinion it is confirmed by the
announcement in last nights Times.
The cry trace issue" and equal
rights" will not avail after four years
of Aztec administration to turn away
the thought and mind of the people
from the utter disregard Of all their
rights which has so strongly and of
fensively characterized the admins
tration of this city during the present
regime. The know-nothing cry is too
thin when raised against a ticket
which has, as has the Reform club
ticket, the names of American citi
zens of English, Irish, German and
Mexican descent as well of those of
American progeniture. This only on
the general ticket without reference to
ward nominations, which will
probably include American citizens of
other nationalties.
The address would have been much
more satisfactory to the voters of San
Antonio had it explained and ex-
cused the inequality of the admins
trative acts which have been the
theme of public condemnation in this
city for the past four years. Had 1t
shown cause why the rights of the
public had been trampled on all these
years, it would have awaited it more
than the specious cry of equal rights
by which it is thought to hoodwink
the voters of this municipality into an
endorsement of the present imbecility
for another lease of official life. 1t
won't work.
