BUYING UP AMERICA

English capital seems to have taken
its cue from the southern planter who
visited the new England states in the
decades before the war when every
southern mans visit to Boston was a
curiosity to the natives. Annoyed
and pestered by the questions of the
curious as to what was his GRAND at
the north, he replied: II have heard
much of Boston as a queer old place.
1 am a gentleman of leisure and of
ample means and 1 am now on my
way to visit it, and if like it as we'll
as am led to think | shall from
what / have heard about, L intend to
buy t." John Bull despairing of con-
quering this country, or of seducIng it
into free trade policies, or of anneXing
it to Canada by so-called reciprocity
treaties, seems to have come to the
conclusion that the best way is to buy
1t. English capital made a mint of
money out of American war bonds
and now that these are being rapidly
called in investments in American
railways and trusts are being pushed
to the limit. England has invested
over 500, 600, 900 i'll this country this
decade, and it is a question tor
the American statesman to con-
slider very seriously how far it
is wise or proper to permit aliens to
gain control of our leading industries
These English capitalists are shrewd
observers of the times and they see a
manifest disposition on the part of
this government and of the several
states to put an end to alien landlord
ism and are trimming their sails ac-
cordingly. The large trusts in oil
and iron and steel and sugar and salt
and lumber and coal and wheat have
opened a door for English capitalists
to enter in and their representative s
here are very busy offering options
for every large industry in this coun-
try. The control remains in Amer
lean hands, as bait, for a few years
and then the end comes so far as the
American holders are concerned and
the foreigner controls our mines our
wheat trade our salt and sugar and
oil production and this country is
another example of the sons of Jacob
sold into Egypt. The tendency to
English occupation of the gates of
American production and trade is
obvious. 1t is an evil. 1t threatens
our future. 1t is the business of true
craftsmanship to so frame the laws as
to awfully discourage this tendency.
THE mountain has conceived and
its mouse is now IN the lap of the
democratic party Tanners reissue
and re-rating Of pensions has been eX-
amined and neither in the re-ratings
themselves nor in the amount of
money involved has there been any
discovery Of any special irregularity.
Tanners hide has not been stretched
on the democratic fence to appease
the names of the angry gods.

THE ARKANSAS PASS PASSES.


The Arkansas Pass road has its enc.
mics. All people and particularly all
corporations have enemies. The San
Antonio and Aransas pass is no ex-
eeption. 1t very forcibly, in certain
clses only, illustrates the saying
that prophet is without horo: in
its own country. San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass road has been of meal
culable benefit to this city in giving
merchants another outlet to Calves
ton, and to the town itself by eXpend-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually within the corporation, and
to property holders by largely adj
vancing the price of real estate.
There is no question but that it has
added millions to the values of this
city''and all this is accepted as fact by
those who most bitterly denounce the
management and policy of the road.
1t is easy to find fault. 1t is not so
easy to originate and carry forward
successfully an enterprise like this
and create a large property during
years of great business depression,
and do it without temporary embar-
rassment. TO do it at all is the ques-
ton. The LIGHT is not the advocate
nor the exponent of the Aran-
sas Pass road and the LIGHT
blieveS it was grave mis-
take on the part of the road to per-
nit its wheels to stand still for any
cause, and that the prompt payment
of its pay rolls is a necessity to the |
good will and confidence of the public. |
All this the LIGHT believes, but it |
also believes that the road deserves |
the sympathy and hearty support of |
this city and southwest Texas, that it
has accomplished more than any
other road with its capital and credit |
ever has succeeded in accomplishing |
and that its system when in full oper- |
ton and connections made will be one |
Of the most successful and best pay |
ing railroad properties in the state. |
The wheels are again turning. The |
assure the public that |
hereafter provisions will be made for |
the prompt payment of the men, and |
that there will be no trouble on this
score in time to come. This road
started out as home road, and no
small part of it's embarrassment arises
rom the attempt of the home parties
% retain control and not permit that
control to pass into other hands. Its
irst difficulties grew out of its compile
lnce with San AntOnio's wish for a
Dad to the northwest, that branch
being source of no revenue to the
Dad. Prompt payment of its men in
he future will work a revolution in
he sentiment of those who are today
oudest in condemnation of the grit
lest road that ever drove a spike in
Texas.

THE Austin Evening Dispatch is
very wise above what is written, or
surmised, or sung, or known, or con-
ceived, or imagined, or dreamed or in
vented. In its Monday issue it says:
There is big bug under the chip
down at the mouth of the BraZos, and
the Columbia Old Capitol seems to be
watching the game. 1t is said that
close corporation known as the chan
mel improvement company is an ex-
clusively republican organization;
that it is grooming one of it's mem
bers, Charley Ogden, of San Antonio,
tor congress- and that politics are at
the bottom of the whole scheme.
Any movement that Charley Farwell
is connected with, and that he fails to
inject politics into, will surprise those
who know the wire-pulling million
aire.n
A man must be natural idiot who
suppOses that men will spend 81, 800
600 at the mouth of the Brazos river
to elect republican to congress in
the tenth congressional district,
which does not come within POO miles
of the mouth of the BrazOs. Ten per-
cent of that money would land any
man in congress, if put where it
would do the most good. What has
deep water at the mouth of the Braz-
Os got to do with Mr.. Ogden's candi-
dacy for congress. The nomination
was offered him last fall again and
again and he refused to accept it. IT
was offered him two yeas ago las
fail and he declined. The nOmina-
ton he need not 90 begging for, and
as for the election how in the name of
the great horn spoon would spending
a million or two of money at the
mouth of the Brazos help elect Chas.
Ogden OF SanAntonio to congress.

THE bull-dozing process of conduct
ing city government has one advan-
tage, or at least advantages of one
class. The courts will have plenty OF
injunction suits to try and the law
yers will fry the fat out of the city.

THE Prince of Wales is very anx'
ious for his royal mama to abdicate
in his favor, believing that if he was
to come to the throne now, while
Salisbury is in power, he would be
granted a much more liberal civil
list than he is likely to get when the
conservatives control the government.
In this view Queen Victoria comedies
but does not consider it wise or right
for her to lay down the reins of gov
eminent while she is in the full pos
session of all her mental faculties and
her health not at all impaired.
Albert Edward is much more pro-
gressive than his royal mother, has
far more sympathy with Ireland and
broader views, but he will not be
king of England and E. L. for some
years to come. Queen Vic. under
stands the difference between being
reigning sovereign and kings mother.
JUDGE PARKER, of the Z. s. district
court in the Territory, decides that
while marriage to a squaw does give
Indian rights, a half-breed is not an
Indian within the meaning of the law,
if the child of a white father. This
will change some of the ideas which
are held regarding Indian citizenship.

CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
Manufacturers Want Cheap Wool.

WASHINGTON, Jan. iT.--ThiS morn.
ing the senate subcommittee on H.
nance in charge OF the tariff bin heard
delegations q carpet and woolen
goods manufacturers and wool grow
ers. The former desired certain mod
iticafions in the wool schedule tending
20 the reduction of some duties, while
the wooi-growers wanted additional
