JUDGE w. w. KING is formally an
nounced as candidate for reelection
to the Office which he now fills, and
to which he was elevated two years
ago. The regular term of this judicial
office is four years aud no good cause
has been shown why the present in
cumbent should not be now elected
for four years term, after having so
acceptably served a two years term.
To refuse him such election now
would be a reflection upon his official
course, such as the LIGHT cannot see
the east reason for. The judge has
been fair and impartial president of
his court of justice, his knowledge of
law is ample for the demands made
upon it, his term of service, now ex-
piring, will only have enlarged his
experience and better qualified him
for his duties. The LIGHT believes
that his reelection will best subserve
the interests of his district.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1890.

AFTER a thorough investigation
and diligent inquiry, as is needful
and proper in post mortem examina-
tons, we are compelled to announce
the melancholy tact that democracy
is dead in Bexar county. The imme-
date cause of its demise was an over
dose of the deadly poison of ringism,
which speedily relaxed and unnerved
the most stalwart and uncompromis-
Ing democrats and ended in the
queer dementis, that mosaic ticket
of democrats Of the court house ring
and republicans also wearing the
livery of the same ring, constituted
the quinresence of democracy pure
and undefiled."

THE democratic editors, big and
little. are just now tearing to pieces
the Mckinley tariff and representing
it a whole sale robbery of the agricdl-
tural class. This is absolute clap
trap. We venture the assertion, that
these slashing editorial critics of the
new tariff, have never read the
clauses of the tariff and are, therefore,
profoundly ignorant of The subject OF
which they speak so dogmatically.
Farmers seldom use foreign goods,
and so are unaffected by the customs
duties levied on them when import
ed nto the United States. Iron, salt,
dry goods, hardware, clothing, furni-
ture and farming implements are
cheaper now than they were under
the low tariff of 1916.

How to Grow Sweet Potatoes.

Procure the potatoes for seed; then
dig square hole about two feet deep;
curb this up with inch boards and fill in
fresh stable manure to the depth of fif-
teen inches. Cover the manure with
finely pulverized soil, five or six inches
deep; then cover the bed with boards
and let stand until the manure heats,
which can be told by running the finger
down in the soil. Next plant the pe-
tatoes so they will not touch each other
(split the large ones in halves). Cover
them half an inch deep, and keep the
bed we'll covered until they begin to
grow. Water them daily with slightly
warmed water, until large enough to
take care of themselves.
A sandy piece of land is best to grow
the crop. I make ridges and prefer
them to hills. The soil should be fine
ly pulverized and the plants set ten
inches apart In hoeing commence at
the top of the ridge and scrape down
the sides, and then draw the dirt back.
This pulverizes the soil and keeps the
weeds down. Keep we'll hoed until the
vines cover the ground.-Farm and Fire

How Far Can You See?

There has been a great discussion GO
ing on in Europe concerning the dis.
lance at which large objects on the
earth's surface are visible. Emil Metz
ger mentions that he once saw Keizers-
pickt, in Sumatra, when separated from
it by distance of ITO English miles; he
also says that on very favorable occa-
sions he has made out to see Guy Me-
rapi, in Java, when $50 miles inter.
vened e. Hill, the civil engineer, says
that he has seen Mount Blanc from Piz
Muraun, near Dissentis, distance of
almost 1870 miles. S. Starkie Gardner
states that Mount Blanc is visible from
Piz Landga I'd, though distant about
three degrees. Waymper, the explorer,
says that when he was in Greenland he
could plainly see mountain peak from
which he was separated by 100 miles.
The whole range of the Swiss Alps have
been looked upon by J. Hippisly while
200 miles away; Sir w. Jones affirms
that the Himalayas have appeared
to his view from the great distance Of
224 miles. St Louis Republic.

Watts me thy signing, balmy breath,
From fields beyond the realms Of DEATH

Discern thy shadow on the wall;

Alas in vain--I do but grasp
The cheating shadows In my clasp,
The two round arms that seem'd to hold
My neck, in their embracing fold,
Have vanish'd-and the golden hair

The snowy brow that beam'd SO bright
Hath melted from my wistful sight,

Yet In the moonlight beam that falls
Serenely Ter these somber walls
catch thy radiant form Of light,
Thy outstretch'd arms, like pinions bright
Waving athwart that Pickering beam,
