Texas RepublIcanism.

To the San Antonio LIGHT.
It was with 8 feeling of much
pleasure that perused IN this morn
ing's Express the address of our
worthy postmaster, Sam M. johnson,
regarding the brilliant opportunities
that now presented themselves to the
republican party of Texas for success
In our present state campaign. He
certainly presents the case Of the di.
vided democracy ably, but fails when
he asks for united action on the part
of the two republican factions to give
due Justice to the white repu blicans'
(of which / am proud to be One) side.
For the information of your read
ers who may not be cOnversant with
the origin and cause of the establish
ment of the white faction l desire to
give some explanation.
The white element of the republic
can party who attended the state
conventio at Fort Worth In 1888, de-
string the success of Benjamin Harri-
SOD, then the national nominee OF our
party, and wishing to bring out the
full force of repu blican voters,
thought best to nominate state
ticket, but our colOred brethren who
were in the majority at said
convention under the leader.
ship of w. n. Quincy, OF
Galveston had other axes to
grind and refused to put forward
q state ticket. What was the result
Good arc true republicans, who were
SO not for spoils but through prin-
ciple, were denied the right to vote
| for a republican candidate for COVER
nor, and we're either compelled TO vote
| for a democrat or lose their right o.
suffrage. Mr.. DeGress, of Austin
and ROsenthal, OF LsGrange, in secre'
caucus, the same night, prepared al
address tc the republicans OF Texas
condemning this action and proposed
to bolt and put forward a state ticket
The same Lily Whites, against whom
great number OF republicans are
not over "greesble, protested agains
the issuing OF this manifesto claim
ing they were true, republicans anC
any split in the party at that time
would only give northern democrat
fighting capital which could only in
Ijure the cause of Benjamin Harrison
candidacy and their judgment pre-
vailed.
Now If the republican faction O
which Mr.. johnson Is one, desire b
see the success of their party from
basis of true repu blicanism and no
from greed of offices, now is thei
opportunity. The republicans hav
nominated ticket headed b.
A. J. Houston. To the republican
office holders who will contrO
the coming convention In Septembe
at Fort Worth: if you desire to see on
party successful at the polls in NJ
, vember next endorse the ticket non
mated at the Dallas convention.
Very respectfully,
NAT. SULZBACHER.

For six or eight successive admin

held high carnival in the commodious
attic. which. except in broad day
light has been a region frought with
terror to the credulous servant.
About a year ago Mrs M Kee resolved
to investigate and, if possible to
square accounts with his ghostship
by exposing the true nature Of the
fraud so long believed in by the serv-
ants The only means OF reaching
the place at that time was by the ele-
vator so when Mrs. M Kee and her
maid went up one stormy day to do

and looked about. That the ghost

THE ease with which citizen may
be locked up in an insane asylum has
frequently been made the occasion of
comment by those who are fam liar
with the procedure. A few questions
and the commitment is made out In
most cases no mistake is made. but
the system is not ole to make mis-.
takes impossible or even unlikely.
Insanity is disease OF such character
that those afflicted should be separ-
ated from those who are OF sound
mind and taken where they can re-
ceive skilled treatment but it should
not be possible to lock up a sane man
in lunatic asylum. 1t Is unhappily
a fact that relatives or others may
sometimes be DESTROYS of getting Il
sane man out OF the way or depr.ving
him OF the control OF his property by
having him declared u mailman, and
lax methods OF examining patients
make it possible to carry out this in
Justice.

More Electric Roads.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2O.-For years the
people of North st. Louis have had to
ride four or five miles before they could
get to the Eads bridge, near the center
of the city, I'd cross to the Illinois
towns, East st. Louis and Madison,
where many of them were engaged IN
business. Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of the cost oil
vehicle bridge in their part of town.
The engineers reported that one
couldn't be built for less than two or
three millions The Merchants bridge
which spans the river between North
st. Louis and the other side, is only Il
railway bridge. The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directors Of
the Merchants company, and asked
what terms they could have a highway
cheering feat by the way. rhey
were told the company would do it for
$500
"Wc'll accept" said the North st.
Louis men.
The building of this new bridge, for
it is one, practically, will result in an
enormous increase in the business on
both sides Of the river
Thousands of people who came to
st. Louis during the last few weeks,
when the city was crowded, gave 4
nickel or dime to the beggars They
saw on the street corners. There We're
all sorts of beggars, blind, MANNED and
Sipn1 nd all Of than nod hDl.-
vest, but what must the visitors have
thought of St. Louis?

where there were so many bcggars,

was in Rome. | should think that st.
Louis would keep them in asylums.'
To-day, one couldn't find one of those

one end of the city to the other They
don't belong in st. Louis. They don't
belong anywhere. Next week they
will be in Chicago or New York. They

them, and they make good incomes

but drive them away from their beats,
and they then appear at another cor

Another electric railway, which
looks on the map like an octopus, is
projected in the city, and the men who
are trying to get the franchise promise
to have it built by the time the thronn
fill the streets next fall, and clamoi
for fast transportation over every
block they have to go. Every car line
in the city except one short piece out
West will be run by electricity next
year, and it seems that they cover tho
ground pretty well, but these hardy

YANKroN, S. D., Oct. lo.-Judge
Smith yesterday issued writ of man
damus to compel the commissioners of
Charles Mix county to establish voting
places on the Yanltton Indian reserva-
ton. This is u case OF Il Peoples
party board of commissioners endeav-
oring to prevent the Indians from
voting because it is supposed they will
vote for Harrison and the Republican
State and county ticket. There are
200 Indians on the reservation
who have taken land in scvcralty and
who are qualified voters, and they
want a chance to vote. The commission
ers were petitioned to establish voting
places, but this they declined to do.
The Indians, however acting upon the
advice of counsel, decided to compel
the commissioners to take action.
