San Antonio LIGHT:
Believing the LIGHT to be truly
republican and read by some of my
people, | wish through it to speak
few words for their special benefit. 1t
seems to me that the greatest ques-
ton of the day is that about the negro.
Every body seems TO be Interested
about the welfare of the negro, and
everybody claims to be his friend. 1t
is very strange to me that while every
body is interested about the negro
and everybody claiming to be his
friend that there is such small num-
Der trying to help him up the hill.
The slave holders of the south have
always done what they could to OPP
press the negro and keep him In the
rear, and are doing the same thing
now. The whole trouble between
them and us is nothing more nor less
than a question OF sociality. If we
were all females and the white people
all males there would be no such
trouble. AS we cannot change in that
direction the only thing tor us to do
is to learn to respect ourselves. Then
we will respect other people and other
people will respect us. The whites
don't seem to want us to associate
with them, nor never will until we
get sense enough to know that our
own people are good enough for us to
associate with, and they are right.
Yours very spectGully,
w. w. BOULDIN.

London's Marriage Market

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Canon LiddOn yesterday made some
observations from the pulpit of st.
Paurs on the marriage market of
modern Babylon. He had, no doubt,
ample room for a picturesque satire
in the familiar phenomenon of Lon
don society: Eager mothers, like
generals setting out on campaign,
prepared to undergo any amount of
fatigue if only they could marry
their daughters-nOt necessarily to a
high sOuled man, but in any case to a
fortune. They could see, too, a group
of young men, after, perhaps, a career
of dissipation thinking that the time
had arrived for settling respectfully
in lite, and looking out-nOt for a
girl whose graces and character
would make her husband and chill
dren happy, but for somebody with
sufficient dOwry to enable them
to keep up large establishment,
They could not wonder when the
most sacred of human relations was
thus placed OH the brutal level of an
affair of cash, that such transactions
were quickly followed by months or
years of miSery-miseTy which, after
seething in private, was at last par
AIDED before the eyes of wondering
world amid the unspeakable shame
and degradation of the divorce court
1.-THE brutal level of an affair of cash"
is the level at which French mar
riages are arranged without shame
and without preJense. But are mar
riages arranged by parents on the
whole more prone to end in the di-
vOrce courts than when young people
are left free to arrange their marriages
themselves?

Strauss New Waltz

Vienna Dispatch TO London Standa d..
Johann Strauss, the popular COM
poser of dance music and comic
operas, is about to bring out the re-
vised form of the peculiarly Niennese
dance, the waltZ-inVented by his
father, Johann Strauss, SHY the
transformation of the old-fashiOned
"Laudler,n a SLOW Vienna dance OF
some twenty sets, which when re-
duced to six sets in three four time
became faVOrite dance and rapidly
spread from the Austrian capital all
over the civilized world. The pres
eut composer reduced the sets to four
and introduced as further reform
the siX-step waltz, which has also
made the round of every ball room
in the world.
Herr Strauss has now retraced his
steps, since he has satisfied himself
that the present generation is either
not strong enough for or not inclined
to the rapid whirl of the true Vienna
dance, and that slower pace is re-
Quired to suit the taste of these degen-
crate times.
Look round the ball ROOM" says
Herr Strauss, land you will find, no
matter how delicious the waltz music
that the orchestra may be playing,
that the majority of the ladies remain
seated, while the gentlemen lounge
around the pillars and doors. All
real pleasure in dancing is lost, and
only the rhythmical conversation
dance still holds its ground.
II intend to combine the converse
ton dance with the waltz, calling
the new form the minute waltz. 1t
will be composed in three-fOur time,
and consists of three sets, which all
begin andant inO graciOsO, in the style
of the minuet or polonaise. 1t will
then develop into the real waltz, with
the present rapid whirl. Ladies will
be able to accept lazy partners for the
conversation part, while for the faster
movements they can take partners
who are still dancers
Herr Strauss has already composed
two minuet waltZes, which are to be
introduced during the approaching
carnival at a great charity ball given
by the members of the arstOcracy res
ident in this capital.

In holding Engineer MalOney whose
train ran into that Chicago funeral
procession, under 5000 bonds for
manslaughter, the guilt of the COM
pany in placing 10 tlagman at that
crossing should not be overlooked.
According to all testimony the cross
ing was not visible from the engine
cab until the train was almost upon
it, and to leave such a crossing where
professions were entering the ceme-
terry at all hours without a tiagman
was a criminal neglect on the part of
the company. for which the city coun-
ell should long since have called them
to account.
