The Legal Phase of the Question

The Legal Phase of the Question
A certain female woman, no longer baskng
in single bessedness because upon a certain
occasion she had been married to man, once
upon time called upon certain unsophis-
ticated and uninitiated pawnbroker and rep
resented that her finances were at an exceed
ing low ebb; in fact, it afterwards trans
pired they did not ebb at all, and represented
TO her uncle that of the whole family 1t was
plain to be seen that Notwithstanding the
many drawbacks and other incidents con-
prior to the period at which she had
first entered the domain occupied
and then held as her rightful and lawful in
heritance under the wise and useful home
stead law of Texas, she had on many and
numerous OCCASIONS endeavored to have a
change made in the pompous ponderosity of
the mayor, and falling in this she clearly
showed the court that the man who had
sworn out the affidavit (her husband) had &C.
customed himself to practice pestiverous pro-
family and bombast, and had on other occa-
sions shown a real lack of spiritualized ideal
ity to the extent of going to bed withoutr re
moving his boots and spurs, against which
the petitioner has sued out warrant for de-
famation of character and was now
consulting Uncle Emerson with
view to raise money wherewith to
forestsll the District Attorney and
such other officers of the court as might be in
league with the unfair and hard-hearted de-
PENDANT. She then bought fine pair of soli-
Waterbury clock from Uncle Jess, and after
ward q secondhand sewing machine and left
for home. fully determined that in future
whenever she got into a tight place she would
go straight to Uncle Jesse for advice and
financial tonic.

THE law prohibiting the carrying
of pistols, in Texas, is practically
"dead letter." as 1000 men are fined,
while over 100000 wear pistols every
day in the year. Let a licence of SIS
per year be charged for wearing pis-
tolls, openly, on the person, and fine
of $3.50 and three months imprison-
ment, be the penalty for wearing pis-
tolls concealed from view. Then, let
half the fine go to the informer, or to
the officer making the arreot,to excite
to watcbfulnuss. The sheriffs should
be entitled to ten deputies apiece, en-
titled to wear pistols, openly, when
on official business, and none to wear
them concealed about their persons.

Tilden was not elected in 1875, but

Louisiana, Florida and South Caro-

more elected in 1884 than was Malone,

HAVING elected Hogg Governor,
and procured the adoption of both
constitutional amendments, the
Farmers Alliance is supremely happy
and stands upon tip toe, watching for
the millennium with bated breath. !"
The Alliance is destined to make the
grand discovery, that "there is many
a slip between the cup and the lip"
that with politicians, it is a case of
'bloated promise, but lank perfor-
NANCE" and that the boaste pam
acea of the Alliance, is downright
quackery. The two amendments
will result IN no benefit to the farm
ers, and the railroad commission bids
fair injure the state seriously, and the
farmers most seriously of all classes
of our citizens. What the farmers
need is to keep out of debt, ito make
tnel farms support.them, and to dis
play more industry and enegy on
their farms.

AS the democrats in the fury of
their exultation over their unexpect-
ed victory imagine they are about to
attend the funeral of the republican
party, the LIGHT presents some fig
ures to show they won their victory
by the skin of their teeth, in the
North. Maj. Mckinley reduced DEM
ocratic majority of 5000, 1850 votes
and was defeated by 800 votes-had
he received $50 more votes he would
have been elected by 40 votes. Can
non was defeated by 500 votes, and
275 more votes would have elected
him also. In Delaware, Cansey, DEM
ecIat, hasa majority of 626 in the
entire state and had his republican
opponent received $50 more votes,
he would have been chosen
In one of the districts In New York,
Rockwell, democrat, was elected by
SO majority, so that had his opponent
received but so more votes he would
have defeated Rockwell. The repub-
licans lost four congressman, in these
four districts, by the pitifully small
combined majorities of 164S votes.
AS the official returns come in, the
LIGHT will continue this subject, and
show that the democrats won their
victory by the skin of their teeth in
the north, and by intimidation and
fraud in the south, and that the re-
sultis not at all an Indication OF re-
publican strength.
