An Item that is True.

The New Orleans daily item of the
22nd inst reprOduces the article pub
lished in the LIGHT concerning Capt.
Schram's visit to that city and state
in the interest of the Alamo Monu-
ment association and comments
thus:
The Item desires to impress upon
the people of Louisiana, bu- most
especially on those merchants and
manufacturers seeking Texas trade
the Importance of giving sub
stantial assistance to this patri-
otto movement. In the great state
fair, next fall, at San Antonio,
will be an Alamo section. Loulsian-
ians are asked to make a display
therein of goods or wares, and at the
end donate such articles to be auction
ed, ratified or otherwise disposed of for
the benefit of the Alamo monument
fund.
What will the return be? Why,
their business will he most elaborate
ly and conspicuously advertised, un-
der auspices calculated to make the
most lasting impression-an impress
sion that will be entwined with Tex
an State pride and warmest impulses
of patriotism. 1t will pay as strict
ly business venture.

If the Samoan conference has de-
veloped nothing farther it has at
least made manifest the disposition of
Cousin John B. to side with America
rather than with Germany in the dis
putes which arise. The provision for
home rule in Samoa is the thing to be
insisted upon, and Uncle Sam should
not adopt policy that will compel
him to take any active part in the
government of the islands. A protec-
torate is not needed, nor a ministry
formed of foreign representatives. Let
Samoa govern herself and let the
three powers make such arrange
ments as will insure non-interforence
on the part of any of them in the af-
fairs of the islands.

THREE SCORE AND TEN.

Alexandria Victoria, Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland, empress OF
India, and Queen defender of the
faith, is just seventy years old. Her
birthday, which is always a national
holiday wherever the British flag,
was yesterday but by official proclama-
ton the celebration of the day
is ordered for today Saturday May 25
Her oldest son, Albert Edward, born
November 9th, 1S4l, has to all human
appearance many years to wait for
the hour in which his royal mamma
will lay aside her royal robes for the
sable robe of mortality's coffin. He
will be an old man before he assumes
the purple, and it may be that his
son, Albert Victor, usually designat-
ed collars and cuffs" will succeed
his royal grandma instead of the pa
tent, somewhat stolid, but quite pro-
gressive Prince of Wales. Queen
Vic is very healthy, painfully so, and
may OuUllNo HeT SUI, WIN 10 uOG aS
strong physically as his royal
mamma.
A decided change in British senti-
ment has taken place during the past
decade concerning the accession 70
the throne of Albert Edward. Year
by year he has gained in the good
graces of the people, and his good
hard horse sense and evident sympa-
thy with the more progressive minds
of the empire have led to a willing
ness to see him assume the reins of
government which did not manifest
itself a few years since. Matters are
fixed now and will not change in
Victora's time. After her death the
quiet revolution in English ideas Of
government which has been I'M
dermining the old order for many
years will manifest itself. Queen
Victoria has acted her part very
crediUably, and the world will con-
graduate her on her SEVENTEEN birth
day.

POLICEMAN GEIBEL, of Galveston,
gets twelve years for the murder of
Crawford. The verdict is cOmprom-
Use one. Twelve years of hard labor
is no light sentence. but where the
death penalty is enforced for murder
it is by no means severe sentence in
the light of the facts pre- sen ted before
tn court. If it will only have the
effect of making police officers more
careful in handling revolvers, and
lead police boards to greater care in
selecting members for the police force
and supervising their personal habits,
it will not be altogether in vain that
Robert Crawford, of Galveston, met
his death. Sobriety, cool temper,
great patience and Judgment are re-
quired in police officer.

THE organ of Russia's prime minis
ter, on Soledad street, wants to know
why the LIGHT presumes to under
bid the aforesaid Soledad street Jour
nal on the city printing, while it
maintains its rates for commercial
printing and will not take business
ads for less than it costs to set them
up, merely to fill its columns? The
LIGHT does this because it wants TO:
because it wants to see, if under any
circumstances, the city administra-
ton would award the printing to the
lowest bidder, irrespective of that
bidders attitude to the policy of the
council. The LIGHT can afford to pay
the difference between the Times bid
and its own for such information. As
to the merits of the case, let the
Times and the Express fight it out

THE developments made upon the
trial of the Chicago insane asylum
attendants for the murder of Burns,
a patient, cause an awful horror to
creep over the flesh and into the very
soul of all who read. 1t is the most
damnable page of inhuman, brutal
treatment without the eXcuse,:of por-
sonal enmity that the history of any
American institution affords. That
an insane asylum, where the need of
sympathy is so apparent, should en-
ploy such haters of their kind tor
attendants is strange, but not nearly so
strange as that such murderous deeds
should be performed from day to, day
and no redress be afforded; not so
strange as that the superintendent,
presumablya gentleman and a human
itarian, Should pass such cruelties
by or give tacit consent to them.
Every one of those who actively or
passively participated in these deeds
of darkness should be made to suffer
the full penalty of the law, he it
hanging or imprisonment with hard
labor. Such cruelties in all state
institutions are horrible to contem-
plate.

SATURDAY. MAY. 25. 1895.

The whole state of Texas can show
better prospects for abundant crops of
fruit, grains and cotton than any state
in the Union. All over her vast terri
tory the most encouraging reports are
sent out, and the prospect Of an I'M
precedented harvest has stimulated
all branches of business. 1t will have
a marvellous effect upon the attend
ance at our international fair. but
how will the thousands reach the fair
grounds.

ARE not the Pantherites who have
invited President Harrison to the
Texas Spring Palace a little previous
in informing him that he will meet
Governor Diaz, Of Mexico, there. The
governor has said he would enjoy
going very much and would ask his
legislature what they thought of it,,
but has he formally accepted the in
vitation and prom sed to be there? 1t
is hardly possible that President
Harrison will make a t. 900 miles Jour-
ney by rail in midsummer heat to
attend the opening, much as Texas
would delight to see him and do him
honor. Fort Worth. however, shows
her grit in sending him an invitation
and offering to provide for his comfort
en- route to the full extent of present
railway luxury. The Palace will
open next week without the presi-
dent.

The revenue steamer Rush has re-
ceived her sailing orders from Secre-
tlry Window and leaves for Behring's
straits to look after Uncle Samueps
fishing and seal interests in that
quarter. The orders are to proceed
to Ounalaska and then cruise in
Behring'S sea:
"To warn all persons against enter
ing such waters for the purpose of
violating section 1856 of the revised
statutes, and arresting all persons
and seizlng all vessels found to be- or
to have been, engaged in any viola
ton of the laws of the United States
therein"

interests in home and foreign waters

example set for years to come.

The sleuth hounds of justice are
narrowing the circle which hens in
the Cronin murderers. The cottage
in which the murder was perpetrated
has been discovered, and in it the
bloody marks of the cruel deed, as
well as the key of the trunk in which
the dead body was carried away.
This connects the trunk and the dead
body of CrOnin most Enthusiastically,
and leaves the woman out of the case
unless the finger and the other towel
found in the sewer should determine
that woman was in the case, and
that a double murder had been COM
mitted. The intense excitement con-
tinues to deepen if that were possible
over each successive revelation, and
as the parts Of the tragedy are fitted
into the framework of the whole, it
seems quite evident that deep laid
plot involving several actors has had
its elimination in the murder of DR..
Cronin and perhaps others. Not the
least strange event of the whole is the
positive assertion of Charley Long,
that he saw Cronin in Toronto, had
known him well for three years, and
is certain that the man he saw in
Canada was Cronin, and that he must
have returned to Chicago, where he
was afterward murdered. 1t is a
mystery of iniquity.
