CENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
MONDAY. MARCH. l8, 1899.

THE Bastrop Advertiser was a
little previous in recent editorial
declaring:
We democrats have many things to
be thankful for yet; for instance
Riddleberger is out of the senate and
ingalls, no longer presides over that
body.
Bro. Ingalls, continues to hold his
old place as the presiding officer of
the senate and it may be that the
Advertiser is equally incorrect in this
also:
The political errors of Mr.. Cleveland
elected Mr.. Harrison. We confident
ly expect Mr.. H., to return the COM
pliment.
Accepting the statement of the
'Tisir as true, what does this country
not owe to the mistakes of
Cleveland?
THE PearsaI News throws out the
following suggestions of relief from
burdensone railway tariffs to the
people along the Nueces and west
ward of San Antonio on the Southern
Pacific:
The people along the line of the
Southern Pacific west Of San Antonio
are talking of hauling freight III
wagons to that city in opposition to
the railroad. If they want to build
up permanent opposition and adj
vance with the progress of this age in
stead Of retrograding to the OK cart
days, they should try to induce
capitalists to build competing line
of rail road. They might revive the
old Nueces Valley project and have
direct communication with the sea-
board. With the Nueces Valley
system on one side and the Arkansas
Pass extending on the other the
Sunset would be forced to grant more
favorable rates for transportation.
That road will come in time but it
is yet some years in the future and
West Texas will grow nightly before
it becomes a fixed fact.
THE Clarkeville Enterprise speaking
of the action of the house and the
senate of Texas aneut the commission
bill says:
"The commission bill ran against a
rock in the senate and is no more.
AS the house is nearer the people than
the august body OF senators, the pre-
sumption is that the people want 3
commission"
But the senate has taken the matter
up in another form and passed a sub
stitute bill concerning which the rail
road people say that, the house bill
was thing of uncertainty it might
have operated favOrably and it might
net, but the senate bill writes the
death knell Of the roads upon its face.
1t does not seem from the above that
the senate has been more favorable
to the railroads than the house.

THE unanimity with which the
democratic correspondents at Wash
ington are arranging dissension
among the republicans in and out OF
Washington is marvellous to behold.
They have given Wannamaker Cam
eron's place in the senate, put Clark
son in Wannamaker's shoes, made
Harrison the most unpopular man in
Indiana, split the republicans of New
York into smithereens, tore Michigan
in to flinders and all this before the
cabinet has been two weeks con-
structed. What wont they do in
two years? These prophets of evil
will cover themselves with halo of
fine cut obscurity before the first
year of republican rule rolls by.
THE press of the central and north
ern sections of Texas have been cred
iting the Waco people with having
pnt in 100000 cotton mill with no
end of spindles and now comes the
Day saying:
"The artesian water is grand
thing, but it will not do all the work.
The town must have that cotton mill
and the Grand Trunk railroad"
Waco is working for that cotton
mill and should secure it. A plant
of that kind properly managed in the
heart of the cotton country could pay
good profits on investment and it
would be a pointer for other cities to
move by. Texas wants manufacture
ing plants and wants them badly.
The Wharton Independent of last
Saturday says:
Dick Allen, the colored statesman
of the Bayou City, is back from the
Harrison inaugural. He says that his
run no higher than the
cOllectorship at the mouth of the Bra
EOS. 1t is his opinion that Quincy will
be duly installed as collector at Gal
weston.
Dicks news may be of a better
quality than his craftsmanship, if
not, it is not much entitled to credit.
The announcement concerning the APP
pointment is premature, although Mr..
Quincy presents strong claims and en-
dorsements. The filling of Texas ap-
poin tments Of local character is not
likely to occupy the attention of the
administration at Washington for a
little season. H. A. Ellis, just return
ed from Washington, informs the
LIGHT that in a recent interview be-
tween Mr.. Quincy and Mr.. Blaine, the
latter said that the states which had
given republican majOrities would re-
ceive first atten ton in the matter of
appointment. This will give Texas ap-
plicants time to cool Off.
For information that does not in
form, the following from the ingalls,
Inquirer is a good specimen:
"For the information of those who
do not understand the measurement
of rainfalls reported by the govern
ment service, it may be stated that a
gallon of water spread over a surface
of nearly two square feet, or a fall of
about 100 tons on an acre of ground
