Prisoners in Siberia.

An account from Tomsk describes the state
of the Siberian prisons as something fearful,
and gives the following figures, which speak
for themselves. Tomsk, the seat of the only
university in Siberia, is at the same time tne
central depot of exiles.
1t possesses a prison which can accommo-
date 765 men, reckoning for each one As Gu
bic feet of air. There is space for 400 healthy
persons and 275 sick ones; but the number of
exiles who arrived in Tomsk in $50 was 49,,
1874. of whom only IA, 500 were transported
further. In 1887 there arrived IA, 2T7, and in
1888, 1904, and in 1889, up to September,
over 12 ,000 Of whom Il, 522, "a, 239 and IL 900
respectively were taken to the interior. In
1886 the average daily number of prisoners
was at least 1,3l3; in 1887, l,l20, and in 1898,
1880 In some weeks these numbers in
creased in 1886 to 9, 1855, in 1887 to 2, 755, and
in 1888 even to 5000 men. Among these the
daily average on the sick list was, in 1886,
394; in 1887, 5l2 mot less than 45. I per cent
and in 1885, 1876, the majority suffering from
typhoid fever. The official report says in a
few words that for want of room hundreds
of beds with patients suffering from serious
maladeS were placed in the open air, while
the temperature was only six degrees Reau-

THE LIGHT has, on several occa-
sions, distinctly and emphatically
stated, that there was nothing what
soever, to stain the official conduct
Of Judge King, and it repeats this
statement in justice to much perse-
cuted gentleman, and to the public.
The hue and cry against Judge King
has been absolutely without the
shadow Of foundation, in truth or
fact, aud reflects no credit on those
who have started and kept it up with
ghoulish industry. The public ought
to understand the facts, AID not con-
denim man unjustly.

The lawless, turbulent and vindic-

Orleans, should in luce congress to
enact laws to shut out such unde-
sirable people from our shores. The
assassination of the chief of police in
New Orleans, by parcel of Italians
was an insult to the nation and its
people. These Italians bring with
them into this country their bloody
secret societies and their family ven-

THE gerrymandering bill passed by
the democratic legislature of Ohio
was one of the most infamous laws
that any party has enacted for years
past. The main purpose of this infa-
nous law was to so arrange the dis
tricts as to insure the defeat of Mai.
McKinley-one of the ablest and
purest men in the Union. But should
he be defeated through this infamous
law, his absence at Washington wi /
remind people of the absence of the
statue of Cato in the triumphisl entry
of Caesar into Rome and the saying of
the historian that Cato was more
honored by being absent. The defeat
of McKinly will be a "put up job, /"
and will only add to his reputation
and endear him to the people. In
justice never prospers in the long run,
and 1t cannot long inJure individuals
or parties.

THE LIGHT feels bound to remind
the business men of San Antonio.
that If they want to see our city In
crease in population and capital they
must "get move" on themselves.
Passiveness at this time will retard
the growth of San Antonio ut least
ten years, perhaps, divert population
and capital to Corpus Christi. The
real estate men seem to have a great
horror of printers ink, and think
notices stuck on black boards at their
doors, is advertising property. They
will find out their mistake when 1t is
too late to repair their error. Our bust
ness men and capitalists must "get a
move on Them" If they do not wish
to be left in the rear, as always Is the
case-with laggards and misers. Vim
enegy and enterprise never fail to
win the prize and they deserve.to win
it every time.
trade OF San Antonio? Has it gone
fast asleep, disbanded or taken a va
cation? It must show life and ener.
gy in order to accomplish any good,
and SO far, it has not manifested any
vitality. 1t should spare no effort to
increase increase its membership
and to promote the interests Of San
Antonio. Every man who can posi-
bly, do so, should join the board of
trade, so as to make it the representa-
tive body of San Antonio as we'll as
its authorized organ. Public spirit
should induce our business men and
capitalists to strain every nerve to
attract population and capital to San
Antonio, but some of them appear to
prefer playing the part of CLAIMS and
ciphsrs. Let US show the world that
moss backism is dead and buried in
San Antonio, and that We are for pro-
