Protest Against Imitation.

personal business of importance, he
was compelled to go to France, and
handed the city council his resigna-
ton, to be accepted at any time the
public interest demanded, no one
would have objected; but to slip off
and leave it circulated he was going
to Hot Springs, savors too strongly of
deception.
Our people are very tolerant, trust
full, and exceedingly liberal; had the
mayor Of any other city in the United
States slipped off under a1eave of alb
sence without notice to the council
where he was going and sailed for
Europe, there would have been q very
vigorous protest and investigation If
not q declaration that the mayor had
abdicated his Office.
The people are taking alarm over
the situation-the mayor has certain
ly lett the country without asking
permission to do SO. But for the ex-
PLANTATION given in "Short Stops )" his
clandestine manner of quitting the
United States; his absence In France,
might be tortured into flight. The
LIGHT is the only paper that has
given the whereabouts of the mayor,
and at the same time account for his
absence upon q legitimate errand.
The LIGHT believes Mr.. Callaghan
intends to return to San Antonio.
But as his absence becomes prolonged
the people become weary.
If the destruction of our local demo-
cratic party can be considered ben
eft, then we have our absent mayor
10 thank for it. We have no demo-
cratic party in Bexar county, outside
of Mayor Callaghan. Let the repub-
licans, who have at least two rival
chairmen, come together and settle
their dispute, and take possession of
the vacant political arena.
The election upon the constitutional
amendments is less than two months
of. A thorough, united effort should
be made by all good citizens, regard
less of party utilization, to secure the
adoption Of the amendment providing
for registration and the Australian
ballot. All intelligent American

The question of eligibility of Mexican
Indians to naturalization will be
thoroughly tested. Our native born
Mexicans have nothing to fear, and
now that there is really no democrat
ic party to adhere to, 1t is quite posi-
BILE that majority of our old Mexican
citizens will come to the republican
side.
The question as to the responsible
ty for the falling of the walls of the
new building, bring to the public
mind the fact that our city authori-
ties must or should bear the bulk of
the responsibility. When q new
building is being erected 1t should be
examined to see If it is being properly
constructed and not likely to endan-
ger the lives of passing people as well
as workmen on the building.

The Ohio Farmers Union.

The Ohio State Farmers Union held q Con-
yention at Columbus last week. When the
delegates first met there was an unmistakabe
majority in favor Of cutting loose from the old
parties but this gradually melted away before
the arguments Of the leaders. About 200 dele
gates were present, representing n large con-
sttuency, comprising every farmers organiza-
tion in the State. After debate a declaration
of principles was adopted. IL declares in favor,
first, ofequal and fair distribution Of tho neces-
sary burdens of taxation on all forms of wealth,
10 be listed at actual value less actual indebt-
edpess; second, a system of schOol-bOoks at
actual cost; third, suppression of all traffic in
Intoxicating liquor as a beverage; fourth sup
preston Of free railroad passes or other gifts TO
Legislators, judges, and other public officials (;
fifth the issue of not less than $50 per capita
OF full legal-tender money, TO consist of gold
and silver on a parity with each other and
paper; sixth the nomination and support Of no
man who will not stand squarely upon this
platform; seventh, an invitation TO all laboring
and legitimate business men 10 cooperate.
The proposition 10 insert a clause indorsing
the Sub .Treasury scheme and demanding that
the Government loan money at per cent. met
with a decided negative vote, and thus the
most radical declaration of the Cincinnati plat
form was rejected A resolution 10 call a con-
vention 10 nominate n third-party ticket was
offered, but met with determined opposition.

chase, but despite this proceedings in condem-
nation will have 10 be begun against many Of
the owners. The people about Chattanooga

IN regard 10 the roads IN every respect, and
when ID was deemed necessary 10 change q road

which existed at the time OF the battle, the
owners have agreed without hesitation 10 give

souary Ridge aud Lookout Mountain. The
States Of Georgia and Tennessee have ccdcd to
the General Government the full jurisdiction
OF all roads and the park proper, and all that
now remains 20 be done is for the Government
10 pay the money aud secure the title.

whose second trial took place last week for tho
murder Of Lieut.. Il. ". Casey, OF the 22d Inf,
during tho Indian outbreak last Fall, was de-
clared innocent Of murder by jury AT Sioux
Falls, S. d., on Thursday, May %. After the
evidence had all been submitted and the attor-
neys had declared themselves ready 10 argue
the case, Judge Shiras turned TO the jury and
instructed them 10 bring in a verdict of not
guilty. OF course this put an end 10 the trial,
and the lawyers did not get a chance to talk.
The evidence showed that Lieut.. Casey was
killed during a war between United States
troops aud the Indians, aud the court held that
this was not murder.
