OUT WITH NOTHING.

Oh We Gods and little fishes! Lare-
do Gate City of a recent date says:
"Now comes the San Antonio
LIGHT and declares that the recent
stoppage of the importation of low
grade Mexican ores, is due entirely to
the arbitrary action Of the democratic
custom officials on the Rio Grande
border. How about that republican
customs collector Clark, at Ell Paso,
Mr.. LIGHT? Come now, out with it,"
To which the Times of this city re-
spends "Out with nothing - The
LIGHT isn't built that way"
Correct you are. The charge
against the treasury department,
arising from the action of the demo-
cratic custom officials on the border,
was made months before Mr.. Clark
was appointed customs collector at
Ell Paso, that appointment having
been made only last month. The
complaint has not been made against
him. The complaint was against a
ruling of the democratic border
officers, which in the article of Mr.
Wilson, published months since,
and of Mr.. Johnson, more late
Iy given to the press, were
shown to be contrary to law and not
required under the circular letter first
sent out by Secretary Window. Find
ing that first circular misapplied and
it's suggestions misconstrued to the
disadvantage of ore importers and to
the discredit Of the United States
treasury department, the second circu
lar was issued. The whole occur
renee, save the issue of the later circu-
lar, bearing out the position taken by
the LIGHT on this subject as early as
last June clearly antedates the ap-
pointment of Collector Clark at Ell
Paso, as the Gate City and the Times
very we'll know. The LIGHT "outs
with nothing; itisn't built that way"
The articles in question, the COM
plants, the virtual stoppage of ore
and Mr.. Clark's appoint
ment are all matters of record. The
dates are not secret. Clark could have
no more responsibility for the things
that happened before he was officially
born as collector at Ell Paso than the
Gate City man could be responsible
for Tubal Cain.

THE publication OF the ballot, the

ton of votes at election, is::a reform
which the country looks to the repub-
lican party to carry out during this
turn of office. This, and the crushing
value OF the natural food supplies of
the country are two abuses which
must be corrected.

BRICE informs the hard bestead
democrats of Virginia that he has no
Doodle for the campaign. The Vir-
ginia democracy must oil their own
machine. The national democratic
committee came out 100000 behind
in their campaign of education, under
Mills and Cleveland, and Brice does
not know where the money is to come
from. Under these circumstances he
cannot help Virginia. Cleveland and
Whitney have also been appealed to
in vain, as New York has hard
fight of her own on hand, and there
appears to be no help from any quar-
ter. The F. f. VS.. must come down
with the dust, or 60 down into the
dust.

THERE is no Disgusting the fact
that the bloom has gone from the Cal
ifornia boom. AS a health resort it
has proved a failure. AS fruit and
grape country it has about exhausted
its virgin possibilities, and the years
to come will find it's horticulturists
struggling with all the enemies and
pests which have proved so destruc-
tive in the older fruit regions. Texas
for the next quarter of a century offers
in her virgin soil the best possibilities
for the fruit grower of any other quar-
ter of the country, and wisdom would
dictate that the opportunity be inn
proved. Our climate also, concerning
which 80 much has been said and said
so justly, is being looked to by ill.,
valids and the seekers after pleasant
winter quarters most anXiously, and
as California disappointed their eX-
pectatiOn little business sagaclty
could draw capital and experience to
this city to provide winter quarters
for thousands who would gladly share
the blessings of our winter climate
This year will see Texas filled with
strangers. San Antonio should en-
terrain thousands every winter and
! could If she prepared for it.

DEEP WATER anywhere on the
gulf coast; deep water some where on
the gulf coast; deep water on the gulf
coast as soon as possible. The three
deep water conven tons held have
done this much; they have clearly
defined and emphasized this demand.
The question is not where but what.
Just as the Bastrop Advertiser says {:
at used to be that Galveston was
the favorite point, but that was before
public sentiment was deeply stirred
up on the subject. The exact point is
now matter of indifference. The
people recognize the necessity for deep
water and local jealousies will not
prevent them from getting it,"
This is the size of it. The people of
the state have lost sight of the wharf
company and are hankering after
deep water, at that point where the
competent board of engineers shall
eport deep water can be soonest and
cheapest obtained. Galveston is a
secondary consideration.

RESISTED Az OrFICER-A short time
ago, John Barnett and some negroes had
fight and the whole crowd was arrest
ed. The negroes agreed to fine Of
$3.50 before Judge shelton, but Barnett's
iather refused 10 let him take the same
fine and demanded trial by jury. The
jury fined him $50 and costs and the
judgment was placed in the hands of
Marshal q. ;. Carpenter for execution.
Accordingly he went 10 Willis Barnett :
where the boy lived, TO have it paid, re.
plevied or Jail the offender. Mr.. Bar
nett saw him coming into his yard and
said in an angry tone: II know your
business as well as you do and if you
come in will kill YOU at the same

who began 10 back out OF the premises,
remarking as he did SO that Barnett
would have to suffer the consequences
Of his act. Carpenter thought discre-

/ have carried his foolish threat into exc
cution, because he is a man of too much
sense and too well acquainted with the
penalty that would attach to so uncalled
for crime. Instead OF getting a posse
and indicating the majesty of the law
at once as most officers would have done
the marshal waited till next morning
and with his deputy, Tim Mershon
and j. +. Portman, armed with shot
guns, went TO Rowland armed also with a
warrant for Barnett for resisting an Of
ficer. They found him in Judge Shell.

examination and Judge Varnon went
through the farce of holding him TO the
circuit court in 500 bond The charge
is very serious one and it strikes us
the bail should have been made com.
mensurate with it. We learn that Mr.
Barnett will plead that Marshal Carpen
