UP AND AT 1T.

I whiting with his jsok-knife Will
!. the clouds roll by. San Antonio ha
, work on hand and should not let tn
grass grow under her feet. She ha
= that iron mill project to see through
!. | the woods; the Commercial Exchange
to wood up and water for good adj
vertising voyage; and the Llano ex'
tension to put through, for no amount
, of delay and bucking will avail to
} prevent the inevitable, for that road
is going through in the subsequently,
) though how near cannot be said; and
! last, but by no means least, there is
the fair exposition. Not one of these
things can San Antonio afford to
give the cold shoulder to. 1t
is not very agreeable or
thankful task to continually
urge upon q people the memory of
their shortcomings; but just as the
pulpit, in morals, stlrs up the pure
minds of the church by way of
remembrance to perform those things
that it neglects, so must the press,
the real pulpit of the modern ages,
stir up the minds of its greater con-
stituency to performance of those
public duties and the carrying for
ward of those public enterprises
which the times demand. The press
of San Antonio certainly has not been
remiss in directing public attention
to the need of a greater public spirit
and a more general and liberal en-
dorsement of those public enterprises
the successful carrying on of which
will add considerably to the city's in
crease. But like the pulpit, the les
sons must be repeated again and
again until results are reached, for at
best it is line upon line, precept upon
precept, here little and there not
much. There is not one of the four
enterprises mentioned above which
would not result in lasting benefit to
San Antonio; increasing population;
increasing the trade of the city with
in itself and with outside commune
ties; increasing the taxable values of
the city; increasing the resources
from which to draw for future i'm
provements, and always open the
way for larger, more profitable and
multiplied enterprises to follow.
That roller mill plant is peculiarly
appropos just now. It's establish
ment would quicken the movement
for an advance into the iron regions
of Llano; it would also give force and
impetus to the movement now on
foot to establish mandatory of
cheap fuel from the Ignite which
abounds so plentifully in this whole
region. These things would be direct
ly encouraged and promoted by the
establishment of this rolling mill,
and every other industry of the city
would be indirectly benefited; its
trade, and all its supply of food. The
fair association have a special claim
on San Antonio. 1t has taken hold of a
hitherto unsuccessful and
has Undertaken to redeem the city
from the reputation of being unable to
hold successful fair. The honor of
San Antonio is pledged in this move
ment, and doubly so now that fair
circuit has been formed, into which
San Antonio has voluntarily come,
and in the organization of which she
has borne part. These fair bonds
must be taken and taken at once to
put the directory on its feet. This
done the success of the meeting on
the Oath is assured, and that done
there is little doubt about the out
come of the fair. The LIGHT stirs up
the pure minds of its readers to the
necessity of subscribing, and at once,
to these fair bonds and to the stock
Of the roller mill.
A TAX of thirty cents on the aver
age Kansas farm would yield the
legislature 100000 for Worlds fair
exhibit, says the Topeka Capital, and
the granger legislature of that state
propose to make it $4,000. Sockless
Simpsons policy for his own feet.
WHEN the Denison Herald remarks
concerning Cleveland's attitude on
the silver question-"Now he is dead
sure."; the remark is little ambig-
uous. OF what is he dead sure?
