AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
THURSDAY. MARCH, "a. 1899.
GULF PORT RIVALRIES,

The Waco Day discoursing of deep
water at Brazos and its effects upon
the proposed deep water projects at
Arkansas Pass says:
"Hon. Barnett Gibbs is not dis
couraged over the prospects of deep
water at the mouth of the BrazOs,
which, he says, if obtained, will be
too far east to interfere with his own
plans and purposes at Arkansas Pass.
He is right. Texas wants half Il dozen
deep water ports on its coast on the
terms offered by the BraZOs syndicate.
But one Of the conditions of our faith
in the outcome Ofany of these schemes
is that there shall be no sale Of lots
till the ships ride at anchor in front of
them"
Concerning all of which it may be
said that deep water at the mouth of
the BraZos may be considered an as
sured fact. Deep water there or at
Sabine Pass, or at Galveston, would
not interfere with the demand for a
deep water harbOr at the extreme
west end Of the Gulf coast of Texas.
1t is and always has been a mistake
of the advocates of deep water al other
points on the coast that the Arkansas
Pass interests are inimical and hOstile
to deep water enterprises elsewhere.
This is very far from being true. The
first thing required is deep water
deep water in the shortest time and
with the least expenditure of money.
For this Arkansas Pass and her
San Antonio advocates have al.
ways conbended and their ad-
vocacy along this line is upon re-
cord at Fort Worth, Denver and
wherever she has spoken on this
matter. The establishment of deep
water harbor at any point along the
gulf coast is of much more impor-
tance as primary factor in the ques-
ton of ocean freights than the matter
OF location. The friends of Arkansas
Pass do not feel in any sense that the
opening of a deep water harbor at
Brazos will retard the establishment
of deep water port at the western
opening, and if it did the fact of deep
water SeCuTeu is more NlGdl imam the
mere interests of section. AS a
mere question of results, however,
the successful prosecution of deep
water harbOr work at BraZos will
facilitate the securing of deep water
at Arkansas Pass. The successful
completion of that work will Demon
strate just what government has been
so slow to believe, that deep water
can be secured in a very short time
by changing the methods of
work and repudiating the drib-
let system. With deep water
Brazos, the government can not rea a.
sOnabIy refuse private capital the
permission to 90 to work at Arkansas
Pass. That concession must be grant
ed unless the government would fos-

ter a monopoly and deny to the
Arkansas Pass Improvement company
what has been granted to the Brazos
construction company. 1t may be,
however, that the government will be
stimulated by the work done, and
the results achieved in the Brazos
bottom and undertake the work at
Arkansas Pass to demonstrate her own
in terest and concern for the opening
of her gulf ports. 1t matters very lit
tie to the vast region lying so many
hundred miles nearer the gulf ports
than the Atlantic seabOard which
agency shall effect the work so long
as it is done. San Antonio has little
interest in the question of who, and
every interest in the question of
when, and to what depth. AS to
rivalry, that is out of the question.
There will be an immense commerce
created at every deep seaport on the
gulf. and there are not possible sea-
ports enough to make the rivalry
destructive to anyone. At least
Arkansas Pass is not worrying over the
rivalry, for she holds the most eligible
position on the gulf for the great
northwestern and southwestern
trade.

| AMONG the comments of democratic
journals upon matters connected with
the governorshIp of West Virginia,
the Express of this city remarks:
"Governor Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, still occupies the gubernatorial
chair, but his holding-over is no
credit to the democrats. Democracy
is a good thing, but common honesty
is better"
The diagossis of this case by the
Express is eminently correct, but the
democratic faculty will file exceptions.
THE leading democratic journals Of
the south have persistently denied
that the killing of Clayton was in any
sense political, and scout at the idea
of there being any conspiracy in the
case. AL such doubters are referred
to the following language from Cir
cult Judge Cunningham, of Conway
county, Ark, in his charge to the
grand jury:
II don't know who they are. l
wish to heaven that / did. L would
tell you. But nina you, political as
sassinations do not originate in the
minds of men in the humblest walks
of life. Men who earn their living by
the sweat of their brows, whose lives
are poems of honor and industry do
not find it in their minds and hearts to
conceive assassination; but it is con-
ceived and planned by more inlluen-
tial, fine-haired gentlemen, who pre-
tend to be respectable. While the
cowardly william who fired the gun
that killed Clayton should be caught
and hung the main object of our
search should be the dastardly con-
spira tors who instigated it,"
This charge of the judge of Conway
county will stand as a perpetual justi-
fcation of those who, like the LIGHT.
charge that this assassination was
upon political grounds.

THE Columbus Citizen reports Ben
Terrell, state lecturer for the Texas
Farmers Alliance as having said in a
speech at Des MOines, Iowa, before
the National Alliance that:
"The whole press of the country, ex-
cept only the labor organs, which
they support, are bought and sold in
the market, owned without exception
by monOpolists, and only publish
what they desire"
The man who says in Des Moines or
any where else that the LIGHT is
bought and sold in the market, is
owned by the monOpOlists and only
publishes what they desire, is liar
and the truth is not in him. There is
no equivOcation, evasion or mental
reservation whatever in this state
ment. 1t is the cool, deliberate utter
ance of those who know whereof they
affirm. The unblushing etfrOntery
which asserts that only Alliance or
gans, or labor organs, are not bought
anu SOIu ny hohOIpiIStS III open HAL :
ket like cattle, would be an insult, did
not the utter senselessneSs of the re-
mark remove it from all possibility of
effect. The Alliance is a very worthy
constituency but it is not ali the coun-
try by very large majority and it
would be more entitled to public con-
fdence did it relegate some of its
irrational mouthpieces to the rear.

THE Birmingham Ala. Herald
makes plea for the rights of labor
ing men which should be regarded in
high places. The Herald says:
Under the present prevailing
system the poor man with nothing
but his head on which to pay taxes
must pay ten days of his labor to
work the public roads, while his
neighOor, who owns a plantation and
any number of mules and wagons and
buggies, pays no more, and nothing
at all if he is As years of age. linus
tice and inequality is the very foun-
dation of the system, and it is necces-
sarily failure.
Matters are only half as bad in
Texas, five days being the mum Der,
but it is greivous burden on the poor
man and should be removed. No
more unequal or unjust law than that
requiring man to pay five days of
his labor, his only capital, for roads
over which he never drives, is upon
the statute book.

THE Irish cause is rapidly gaining
ground in England. Churchill IS
openly opposing the government and
declares Balfourism to be fatal to the
continued union of the two coun tries.
At a recent meeting of the Eighty
club, Lord Spencer reached across the
table to shake ParnelPs hand and
congratulate him upon his vindica-
ton. AS the fact becomes apparent
that the executive officers of the
crown have been acting as detectives
for the Times, the feeling against Bal
fourism deepens and the reaction is
in Parnell's favor. ParnelPs speech
at the club repeated his claim for
Irish self-gOvernment under imperiaI
rule and declared the dissolution of
the union impossible. The News saws
his speech made a great impression.
and as protest, is of incalcuiabIe i'm
portance. The day of Ireland's deliy-
erance comes perceptibly nearer.

The Dog Craze.

The dog "craze" is increasing, and with startling rapidity, in New York city, and it continues to be shared alike by both sexes. A pair of canine treas ures is now considered small posses sion, and the fashionable and avowed admirer of dogs now boasts collection of five or six varied specimens, and thinks nothing of going out for stroll on a sunshiny day through one of the city's parks attended by the whole col lection. It does present a somewhat curious scene for stylishly- dressed woman to be holding, as it were, sort of impromptu circus in one of the squares. Her several dogs gambolling about while she checks them with a slender whip clasped in her daintily gloved hand, and summons them to her side by shrill whistle, all under the observance of a motley crowd of spec tators that stand off at respectable dis tance, as if enjoying free show. The fashionable dog for the feminine pet is increasing in size, and instead of the soft, curled poodles and toy pugs we now see English and Irish settlers, sym metrical Italian and English greyhounds, Scotch collies and Benheim span iels. - Tnble Ialk.

The Ignorance of Russian Police.

Iue lSuOIuHCe Ol NuSSldu IV1ICcs
 From an article by George Kennan in the Century we quote the following: >"We heard many funny stories from the political exiles in Siberia with regard to the ignorance shown and the mistakes made by the rural police in dealing with supposed revolutionists. Four or five years ago, just after the assassination of the gendarme officer Sudeikin (Soo- day. i-kin) by the terrorist Degaief Oeegy- yefD, photographs of Degaief were sent to every police office in the Empire. On the back was printed an offer of 10, 900 rubles' reward for the capture of the as- sassin, and on the face were printed six photographs of Degaief, showing how he looked in cap and without cap; with a full beard and without full beard i; and with mustache and without mus tache. A hard-drinking and ignorant police officer in a village of Western Si- beria into whose hands copy of this card fell, arrested four unlucky way farers who happened to look more or less like the photographs of Degaicf, and committed them to jail; then he went about the village, and to the dram-shop, in a half-tipsy condition, boasting that he had captured four of those accursed Degaiefs, and was going to hold them until he could find the other two, so that he could turn the six together over to the higher authorities. He had no doubt that he would get not only the 10, 900 rubles' reward, but cross of honor.
 "Another police officer, equally ig- norant, arrested scientific man, mcm- Der of the Imperial Geographical Society, who had gone into the country to pursue his favorite study of ornithology. The unfortunate naturalist was accustomed to note down every day the names of the birds of which he had secured specimens, and the sagacious police officer, in look ing over his prisoners diary, found on almost every page such entries as Juno 13-Killed fine crown snipe this after noon; or June 17--Shot a silvia hor- tensis today Regarding these entries as unmistakable records in cipher of nihilistic murders, the officer sent the captured ornithologist under strong guard to the chief of police of the dis trict, with the book as documentary proof that the prisoner was one of the most desperate and bloodthirsty of the terrorist assassins; the entry with regard to crown snipe' he said was plainly a reference to the most august family of the Gossudar

Origin of . Famous Porcelain.

In the perioi (954- 959 of the Heou- Tcheou dynasty of China, Emperor Chi tsong gave his nickname of Tch'ai (Tch ai- yao) and the qualification of inn perial (Yu-yao) to porcelain that came from the country of Pien, now Khai- fong- fou, in the province of Ho-nau, and an artist having asked him for model, he replied: "Let the porcelain destined to the palace be blue as tho sky appears to us after the rain in the space between two clouds" The order was executed literally, and the charm lngly -colored porcelain was called Yu- keuo-thien- tsing, (bluc of the sky after the rain.) To quote from Chinese chronicler: ''It is blue as the sky, bril- liant as a mirror, thin as paper, sonor- ous as the Khing, polished and lustrous, and remarkable for the delicacy of it's veining as we'll as for the incomparable beauty of its color" After the death of the artist, fragments of his work were eagerly sought for and used to decorate caps of ceremony or to be worn like beads around the neck in a thread of silk. .--Ne,o York 7imes.

A Large Pendulum.

The longest pendulum on this conti- nent swings in the technological school at Allan ta, Ga. It is a heavy pear shaped piece of iron attached to brass wire 42 feet long. The upper end of the wire is pivoted in a steel point which rests on the center of a steel plate so as to cause the least possible friction. The swinging of the pendu- lum gradually describes circle on the floor in direction following the sun, showing in this that the earth do move. Directly under the pendulum is a large circle divided into twentyfour parts, of fifteen degrees each, to correspond with the hours of the day. The north pole is placed directly under the pendulum, and the meridians of longitude meet there. The parallels of latitude make smaller circles inside the first. Dr. J. S. Hopkins, president of the school, who made and put up the pendulum, performs the experiment as follows: The iron is brought to the edge of the circle in the meridian of Atlanta and let swing across. Apparently it goes straight across, but gradually it traverses the circle in the direction taken by the sun and opposite to the revolution of the earth. The pendulum not being di- 1ectly over the axis of the earth, does not move in exactly the same time as the sun, but falls behind some hours day. It is said that if it were at the north pole, where it would be immed lately over the axis, it would traverse the cir cle in exactly twentyfour hours, and at the equator it would not traverse it at all, for gravity would operate to pre- won't
