THE erection Of that long delayed
Alamo monument seems to have
taken a fresh hold upon the citizens of
Texas. Suggestions are made that
subscriptions be solicited from all
quarters on San Jacinto Day. The
LIGHT suggests that the Fldelia So
ciety of this city give a repetition of
their late concert, at the opera house.
on San JacntO Day, charge full adj
mission and give the proceeds to the
monument fund. 1t will be a good
thing all around. 1t will advertise the
society, it will give San Antonians the
finest instrumental concert they have
ever enjoyed in this city, and it will
aid the monument enterprise nearly
$1,000 If properly managed.
THE LIGHT suggests to the honor
able body now convened at Austin
that if this state need, one thing more
than another to economic her Iegis-
lature and legal processes and provide
safeguards for her ballot, it is a con-
stitutional convention. 1t is a safe,
speedy, practical and economical rem
edy for many evils and crudities exist
ing in the present state constitution
OF course the outcome of that cOnVen-
ton would depend upon the character
of the members chosen to compose it,
but the odds are very great in favOfof
its improving the present instrument.
Capt. Mark Percy, of Cox's Head,
Me-, has fOxhound of great grit and
intelligence. He got after fox the
other day and chased him steadily for
two days, being frequently seen aud
heard during that time. Finally the
fox, completely exhausted, fell to the
ground but showed fight. The dog,
nearly as tired as the fox, seemed to
think that he had not enough strength
left TO fight with, and so he sat down
close by the fox and watched him.
Thus they were found by a farmer
who saw part Of the performance. The
fox was so tired that the man easily
killed it with a club.

There was q big meeting of the
sixth ward voters In jonas garden
last night, and the principal Reform
club members and candidates were
present. The fun opened with Mr.
Messmer's pungent arraignment OF
the city administration, its violation
of ordinances, financial course, and
the false issues, openly made in the
campaign. Ed. Dwyer followed and
showed that the club was not prohi-
bition club, and did not propose to dis
franchise the Mexican voters and
criticised the futile expenditures of

Alderman Gallagher following,
and with terse criticisms showed how
the mayor had trerted the working
men by vetoing the ordinance, order
ing that the city be its own contrac-
tor, under which working men would
be better paid instead of giving extra
profit to con tracing friends.
At this point Mr.. Banks said that
as Mr.. John Il. Hambleton was cam
didate for alderman for the
ward, it would be well to
learn what action Mr.. Hambleton
had taken in the ontract ordinance.
Mr. Gallagher replied that Mr.. Ham,
bleton, who was chairman of the pub
lie i'm provement committee at the
time, had recommended the adoption
of the ordinance, and he paid high
tribute to Mr.. Hambleton's independ-
ence, integrity and ability. Handle
ton and the Reform ticket was again
endorsed with cheers.
Capt. Story, p. J. Lewis, John H.
Bolton and B. F. Wallace (colored)
addressed the meeting and then it
came to a close.
The meeting was a most enthusiast
tic one, and though some loud
mouthed Callaghanites were there,
one or two were punished for out
rageous behavior. Everything passed
off pleasantly.

A Warning to the Boomers.

THEY MUST WATT OR THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND.
The President is anxious that the Oklahoma
boomers be kept off the promised land until
the time comes for the final opening to them,
and for this purpose caused the issue of the fol-
lowing order late yesterday afternoon from
Maj. Gen. Schoield to Gen. Crook. command
ing the division of the Missouri at Chicago:
The act of Congress approved March Q.
1889, provides in substance that no person shall
be permitted to enter upon and occupy the
land recently coded to the United States by the
Creek and Seminole Indians, until said lands
are opened for settlement by proclamation of
the President, and that no person violating this
provision shall ever be permitted to enter any
OF said lands or acquire any rights thereto.
The President directs that the officers under
your command cause the people to be fully in
formed of these provisions of the law, and that
they shall take and preserve the names of all
persons who may enter the territory in viola
ton OF this provision, so that the same may be
enforced by the land department when said
lands are lawfully opened for settlement"
