TRANSIT THE FAIR,

notice of council proceedings, among
other things the legalizing of the
transfer of the McCrillis rapid transit
franchise. This is a matter in which
San Antonio Is vitality interested,
as that franchise covered the ap-
proaches to the fair grounds and was
depended upon to furnish transporta-
ton during the fair. By it's terms
the line was to be completed and In
operation one week before the gates
of the fair ground open September 80.
This was some weeks since, and now
no work has been done, the right-of-
way not secured and a transfer of
franchise made. There is no use of
attempting to disguise the fact that
the failure of rapid transit line to
the fair grounds will be q very seri-
GUS Inconvenience, and ma
terial drawback to the success of
the fair. The experiment was tried
two years ago Of making connections
with the Arkansas Pass depot and there
transferring to the grounds, and the
result is too we'll remem bered for any
one to see with any complaicency a
repetition of the unfortunate expert
ment. The need of rapid transit to
the grounds is very gravely felt, even
now during the encampment, when
the present number of strangers in
the city is but as the advance guard
to the grand army of occupation
which will take possession of this city
the first ten days of October next. |
There is no doubt that the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass road can ham
die the strangers from their depot to
the grounds, and do it better two to
one than any other road, because
they will make business of doing it,
and trebling trains if neces-
,ary, but this is not the difficulty.
rhereal difficulty lies in getting from
.he city to the S. A. P. depot. Not |
only so, the extra fare and the
trouble of transfer are to be consider
ID, and this last is no small matter,
with such crowds to find places and
purchase tickets as will be here dur
ng the coming International fair and |
exposition. 1t is shame how San
Antonio has been treated in this man
1er. That franchise was granted two
months ago, and a guarantee should
have been demanded then that the |
work would be Immediately begun |
and pushed to completion. The
LIGHT is of opinion, from the infor-
nation it can gather, that right of way
has not been yet secured and that it |
will not be unless some more liberal |
spirit is shown by private parties
whose grounds the road
must run. The LIGHT calls public
to this matter as one deep
ly affecting the interests of San
in so far as it affects the
transit of strangers and citizens to
the fair grounds next September and
October.

Don't Try to Hurt Vermont.

The following from the Brattleboro
Retormer is right to the point and
worth needing
Some people seem TO have an uncon-
querable eagerness to hurt everything
that will benefit Vermont, and have
been telegraphing to the city papers re-
ports of almost the "complete failure
of the Swedish colonization scheme. 1t
is true only Of the settlement at Yer
shire, concerning which there were
grave doubts from the first, because of
the lack of employment for "spare
days" The Swedes who were locat-
ed there have all left and gone to Nor
tons Mills where work in abundance
offers for both winter and summer.
But the colonies of Wilmington and
Weston are both in prosperous con-
dition. Gov. Dillingham; and Commits
sioner Valentine have visited them
this week and report the colonists as
contented and happy and as having al
ready sent to Sweden for friends. The
Swedes are liked by their American
neighbors. As farmers they. are re-
ported as industrious and intelligent.
Some Of them are quite ingenious, too;
when unable to buy implements they
have in some instances made farm
ing tools for themselves. Mr.. Page,
the Republican nominee for governor,
will also this week make a trip to these
towns to inspect the colonies and per-
sonally acquaint himself with their
condition.

Vermont swedish coIonists.

The first few months of such an ex-
pertinent as that attending the locating
of Swedish settlers on some of the a.
bandoned farms of Vermont usually af-
ford a pretty severe test of the grit of
the colonists and OF the wisdom Of the
colonizing policy. If such an expert
ment is to fail, it is pretty sure to do so
before the colonists have had an oppor-
tunity to gather their first crop and to
get accustomed to their surroundings.
1t is gratifying to note, therefore, that
Gov. Dillingham; and Commissioner
Valentine, who have just paid per-
sonal visit to several of the Swedish
colonies, find the settlers prosperous
and contended with their lot, and with
satisfactory outlook for the future.
The coming OF these Scandinavian inn
migrants has benefited the State, not
only by bringing in this new and relia-
bic element in the population, but also
by attracting public notice to the fact
that good farms could be had in Ner-
mont. with churches aud schools and
plenty of neighbors all around them, at
prices not much above those asked for
unbroken land amid the solitude of the
Western prairies. As a conse-
quence. some of the deserted YER
mont farms are being rereopled by ma
tive settlers from other States-sug-
sesting that the real trouble with Yer
mont all this while has been that il did
not take sufficient pains 10 advertise
its manifold natural advaniages.-i5os-
