Translation From Texas Stats Zeitung.
Knopps: "Who is Unity Leh.
mann? The one advertising in
the San Antonio Express"
Lehman: II suppose it is that
Auction firm composed of Fleming,
Grice & Co., who sometimes are
dealing in democracy, Lehman,
and who have now and then regu-
lar sell-outs in that particular ar
ticle."
KnOpps: "Well! we'll! But
who is Jackson, the one that makes
himself so CONSPICUOUS in the Ex-
press, Lehmann"
Lehman: ~ really don't know
KnOpps; unless it is the son of
Jackson, judging from his produc-
ton"
. KnOpps: ~ am inclined to be-
lieve you to be correct Lehman,
no doubt you are right"

San Antonio has the drop on the
entire state for pretty and smart,
and now she should get drop on
herself and drop rents a peg or
two. +
And still the LIGHT rises to re-
mark that there is no use of invest
ing in garbage crematories that do
not cremate.
Senate seems to have settled
down to regular CAB grind on
silver.
The cotton crop is shorter than
the shortest and the price is lower
than the lowest.
Galveston News is not fGlicitous
in it's remark that the constant
London fog is caused by the con-
tinuOus reign. Rain as a rule dis
pels fog.
There is talk of opening the
Texas building at Chicago with a
dance about the middle of the
month.
The man who is planting pigs
and reaping pork is satisfied with
his crop.

JAMES H. FRENCH IS DEAD.

The announcement of the sudden
and unexpected death Of Hon.
James II. French, of this city,
which occurred at an early hour
last night, has cast a gloom over
this city. His long time residence
here, his service as mayor through
an entire decade, his prominence
in political and business circles, as
well as his genial character, ster-
ling integrity and wholesouled
manliness endeared him to his
fellow citizens in no ordinary man
ner. He was so thoroughly iden-
titled with with all that concerned
the city in which his years since
early manhood were spent, he was
so much part Of herself, he had
taken such active direction of her
affairs, that with the older citizens
he stood as her representative as no
death comes as a personal loss, and
the gap this removal has made
will not be filled. In the death
OF Mr.. French the present city
council loses the most experienced
and practical of its members; the
business circles of the city, man
whom it was pleasure to meet in
the daily exchanges of trade; the
Presbyterian church, an active and
efficient member and officer, and
the entire city one of its best
friends. The personal sense of loss
that falls with such crushing effect
upon his family is shared by thou
sands in this city and state out
side of that bereavcd circle. Out
of the gloom and the shadow
shines the light of an unclouded
personality, and in this light is the
promise and assurance of that COM
fort which ever comes when the
All-Father touches with times
healing hand the open wound OF
human bereavement. What com.
fort can come to his disconsolate
family from the profound sym.
pathy of an entire city is theirs in
this sad hour.

The city council will no doubt
hold the Sanitary committee and
the board of Health responsible for
their report on garbage furnaces,
But the city will hold the council
responsible for their action. There
are grave differences of opinion as
ITO the efficiency of these furnaces,
and Until these furnaces can and
do demonstrate that they do the
work required of them in at least a
reasonably satisfactory manner
tthecOuncil will accept them at its
own peril. The time has come to
take action for the interests and
the health Of this city, and if that

The cOastwise canal as a means
of coast trade, saving small coast
wise craft from the perils of the
open ocean and gulf voyages, is
coming into notice. The LIGHT
has already shown how a very
small outlay would give a continu-
Gus passage for coastwise craft
from Corpus Christi bay to Gal
weston. Congress has been directed
by resolution to enquire into the
feasibility of opening such water
ways from Florida to Hampton
roads, and between the Chesapeake
and Delaware bays, and also along
the Massachusetts, coast. The en-
quiry is timely. There is equal
need of such enquiry as to the gulf
coast OF Texas which with proper
fostering would support an i'm
ense coast trade, taking the coast as
far down as the bay of Tampico in
Mexico.

The sanitary committee of the
city council and the board of health
are reminded that they are investI-
eating these garbage furnaces in
the interest of the citizens, and not
for the purpose of confirming or
condemning any pet theories of
their own on the feasibility of such
furnaces as an effective sanitary
aid. They will consult their own
interests in having an eye single
to San Antonio.

Matters of personal disagree
ment between members of the
official family of the city should
not be permitted to interfere with
the proper performance of their
duties. Nearly all these offices are
interdependent and it is of the first
Importance that the public be not
incommoded by any lack of cor
diality between officials. The chief
butler and the chief baker may
not speak in their own private
capacities, but when they appear
before Pharoah there must be no
cloud upon their faces, and their
service must be performed as
though there was no feeling be-
tween them.

The perusal of the local columns
of the press of this state reveals an
unusual activity in educational
circles, and in nothing is this more
manifest than in the number of
solid school buildings under con-
tract. This is as apparent in the
small towns as it is in the larger
cities, and it indicates that the
school master has come to Texas
to settle down and grow up with
the state.

There is not a shadow Of doubt
that there is more loss to the bank
ers in safety vaults and in old cans
than there is to those who put
their money in the national banks
of the country. There are very
few of the banks of the country,
compared to the whole, that will
not have resumed within three
months of their suspension. Bank
depOsitors as rule lose less in
their dealings with banks than
merchants who sell goods to
customers lose by bad debts. 1t
would be just as sensible to con-
denim merchandising as to rail at
banks because some of them fail.
There is no doubt that the security
of banks of deposit could be
by proper legislation
guarding the interests of deposit
tors, and it is the province of the
wise legislator to do this.

The Washington Sentinel sums
up the recent vote in the House
on silver in this wise:
"The vote on the restoration of
the Bland-Allison act in the House
was 136 yeas against 2l3 nays.
Fourteen Democratic States voted
yea and six nay. The affirmative
vote was made up of Democrats,
ll2; Republicans, 10; Populists, 8.
The negative vote was Democrats,
103; Republicans, 10. The major
ity of the Democratic members
was, therefore, for silver; the i'm
mense majority-all except ID
of the Republicans, was against it.
The Administration victory was
gained against it's own party and
through the aid of the Republicans.
If it, therefore, was anything, it
was a Republican triumph won,
through the aid of a minority of
Democrats, under the leadership
of the Administration, over the
majority of the Democrats of the
House. We do not believe that
there is a single instance in the
history of this country where an
administration, supported by the
bulk of the opposition, has defeated
a majority of it's own party in Con-
gress. Never has president car
ried a measure through Congress
to which the majority of his party
was bitterly opposed"
The Sentinel argues from this
that the extra session will cost the
Democrats dear, without benefit
ting them. That it will force the
Cleveland wing of them into the
section if the admins
tration is to be sustained, as Mr.
Cleveland's views are those Of the
Republican party.

water mark of the contract made
with the furnace company and
