The Registration Books.
IlleIlt.

The total number of votes regis
tered in this, the Twelfth district OF
the county, is S92. OF this number
4S9 are white and 403 are colored.
This total shows conclusively that
there are many white voters in the
district who have not registered.
Some of the best business men of the
city have neglected this important
matter until it is too late. 1t would
be well for people to learn that the
matter of registration has to be at
tended to if good government is Sc

TIE MASK THROWS DEE.

The speech rehearsed at the Thur
man banquet by Grover Cleveland,
abounded with clap trap, humbug-
gerry and demagogism of the most
transparent description. What made
1t worse was the fact that his speech
was not extemporaneous and spon-
taneous, but had no doubt been pre-
pared, elaborated and polished weeks
before, as IL shows on Its face that it
was intended to be the formal an
nouncement of It's author as candi-
date for the nomination in 1892 and a
bid for the "most sweet voices of the
people,, AS Grover Cleveveland is a
monomaniac on on free trade, he be-
strobe his hobby and DASH
ed of in q political
stuple chase, forgetting that his hob
by had broken his political neck in
1888. 1t is lamentable evidence of
the degeneracy of our public men, to
see man like Cleveland, who poses
as the statesman and patriot par ex-
cellence, of his party, stoop to such
clap traps, humbugging and demag-
ogueism, as abound in his speech.
He avows himself to be in favor of
"cheap coats" just as though every
one else was for high priced coats,
and he had patented this idea of
"cheap coats" as bait for the favor
of the people. There is not q single
man in the Union who is opposed to
"cheap COATS"
Cleveland suppressed the fact tn at
coats and all articles of clothing are
cheaper now than they ever were in
the past and that protection has
brought this about by multiplying
m snufactories in the United States.

Over Issue of Bonds.

From the White Republican, Nov. 15.l
OF the S360,00O in city bonds at least
500 900 is an over issue; there is no
authority for the $4,000 funding
bonds, and the $4,000 improvement
bond are also subject to be attacked,
because of illegality. The city char
ter distinctly provides that to borrow
over $50 900 in any one year the ques-
tion must be submitted to tina tax
payers. Mr.. Callaghan issued bonds
for the $4,000 improvement business,
and afterwards submitted to vote the
$3.50, 900 bonds for school houses, etc.,
when, to legaalize the issue OF bonds
under the charter, the entire $500, 900
should have been submitted. There
Is no telling TO what extent this ille-
gal issue of city bonds will injure our
city.

Who Is the Most Guilty,

From the White Republican.
The poor pellado from the Rio
Grande caught in the act of illegal
voting is really an object of pity; he
acted entirely upon the order of his
employers; he answered the ques-
tions as he was told; he received a
mere pittance of his services; his ig.
norance of our laws and institutions
is as dense as Egyptian darkness;
he didn't know what it meant; he
never knew the name of a man on
the ticket handed him by his boss;
but the guilt of the man who thus
brought the poor creature to the very
door of the Jail is hundred times
deeper than the guilt of the pelIado,
and there should be a means of reach
ing him, and when reached, his
sentenced should be the extreme
penalty of the law.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1890
OUR OWN CITY.

San Antonio never has squirt of q
boom such as many mushroom towns
have, but enjoys steady and percep-
tible growth and q constant demand
for real estate, all the year round. Its
growth is real and solid, not at all
fictitious-the buildings erected are
substantial aud permanent. and it Is
this single fact, which renders the
investment of money in real estate in
this city, prudent and safe, and at
tracts sensible investors. 1t is no ex-
aggerstion to say, that investors have
discovered this important fact in the
history of San Antonio, and that from
their knowledge of this single fact,
arises their desire of putting their
money into real estate in our city, in
preference to any Texas city, even
though it may claim more noisy
and pretensious booms. San An
tonic is always on the same
boom, and while she has
not been advertised and pulled half
as much as Dallas, Fort Worth, Hous-
ton and Waco, still it has grown rap
idly and steadily and is still growing
in the same solid way. W hat is much
more to the point, and much better
than newspaper puffs. it is going to
grow solidly and steadily in the fu-
ture, as it has done in the past. Our
citizens do not want a speculative,
mushroom boom, as they know that
must inevitably be followed by q
tumble in prices and a collapse of the
boom, with its long train of attendant
evil consequences. San Antonio want
no wild and feverish speculation in
her real estate, but she does want a
solid and real growth-the erection OF
substantial buildings and the open
ing of substantial business houses.
The business houses of San Antonio
are solid and safe, and the business
failures here are less than they are In
any city in the south of the same
population. That fact alone speaks
volumes in favor of San Antonio as a
place of business, and it is with feel
ings of just pride that the LIGHT calls
attention to it. We boast of solid
and steady growth, winter and sum.
mer, and also of solid business houses
which do business upon business
principles and reap the full benefits
of this plan in safe and profitable
trade.
There is nothing bizarre or mere.
tricious about San Antonio or IL.
growth, OF it's future prospects. That
is fact worthy of consideration.
