WSItten for the San Antonio LAeHT
THE CHIMES OF ST. JOSEPH.

dedicated to the members of st.
JoSeph's church.
The chimes of st. Joseph sWestly ring,
Their praises to our Saviour King,
Backward aud forward, with Silvery tone,
They peal their sad sweet monotone.
What do they tell, each Ginning bell,
That echoes now DER hill and dell,
Floating abroad on the summer air
Calling each pionS soul TO prayer.
They tell OF a home beyond the grave.
spf the precious power OF love to save,
Each fainting soul upon the way,
As it reaches forth TO an endless day.
Louder and nearer chime the bells,
Each plaintiff tone its mission tells.
Ave Maria! grant their prayer,
May save each soul from dark despair.
Hank! each sounding. jingIing bell
Tells of hope that now doth dwell
In every hume ole heart today,
That seeks for light upon the way.
Ave Santissima! hear our prayer,
Thy Angels keep us from despair,
May still our Benedictions be
Forever Lord, to dwell with Thee.
When my fainting soul doth soar away,
Out to the light of another day.
May the Chimes of st. Joseph softly
tell
That with my spirit all is well,
MAGNOLIA.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best 81 DRY, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doin it. The prize is only q
stinulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company g
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that VIII command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point OF
view, Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
larty, will get the Press Claims Company 8
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
DICED from the fact that it's stock is held by
bout three hundred of the leading news
apers of the United States.

vile people to the powerful ofthis
mSrld.
Today when the "Grand WOr-
shipped" has throws all his pledges
overheard we stand and behOld.a
tyrant, who, yet powerless to guide
TIE county in the right track, takes
revenge in a cOwardly manner on
the defenseless, who may dare to
criticise his acts and remind him
OF his promises. As a result some
five or six newspapers in the capt.
tai have been suppressed in a
brutal manner, their editors have
been cast into the foulest
dungeons of the Mexican bastile
for one and two years, and many
are awaiting in prison for a final
Judgment, as it is easy to postpone
an examination trial when nolegal
act exists which prescribes conVic-
ton.
Under these conditions it may
be we'll asked: What will the
future bring:
The revolution of 1S76'has spoken
its last word, and the result is a
military despotism or dictator
ship in it's EXTREMIST form.
Nothing can be expected
of congress, as it consists of obso-
lete politicians, shallow-brained
and narrow-minded "bums" and
good-for-nothing vagabonds, who
do not represent the real needs and
interests of the country, in any
manner whatsoever.
The political condition is despair
ing, in both general and domestic
relations, of which we will speak

Tho Little Things The Nest Valuable.

Comparatively few Fpeople regard them
selves as inventors, butt almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of theOlitte frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

down without breaking the passengers

the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back

And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievap es and begin: to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN.

Summer Gloves.

ChamOis gloves for hot weather
wear are very much in vogue again
this summer. For all outing pur-
poses they have the advantage
of being a protection to the hands
against sun, and best of all one
need not be over scrupulOus about
their fit. They may be rather
loose, even a little ungainly, only
button them snugly at the wrist.
Coming in white and buff only
they are very pretty with either
cloth outing gowns or cotton
frOcks, and when sOiled they can
be washed; but this must be done
carefully to make the result salts

list who has been responsible for
the comprehensive review of the
affairs of Great Britain which, I'M
der the heading of "The Colonies"
appears at frequent intervals in
the London Times, and who was
sent lately by that journal on a
trip of investigation in Australia,
goes thoroughly into the economics
of colonial industries, and marshals
statistics and facts with logical
precision. When she was at Queens
land, she had a steamer at her dis
posal. She was the only passenger
on board, and the captain called
and staid at the different points to
suit her convenience. The Times
recalled her from New Zealand to
dispatch her to Canada.

Present Fashions Unsatisfactory.

New York Evening Post)
Fashion does not appear to be
wholly satisfied with herself just
now. Aware that her recent VEN
lures are not altogether popular,
the great dictator is continually
trying to improve upon her origin
al and somewhat crude ideas. New
ertheless, what are really meant
for Improvements often serve to
accentuate the ugliness or eccen-
tricity of styles under the improv-
ing process. The skirts, bodices,
sleeves and trimmings are in no
sense prettier or more artistic than
they were a year ago, and it would
seem that the only real, commend
able, agreeable change is the re-
moving of the sweeping train from
the skirts of street dresses. Very
few women are found who are real
ly pleased with the arbiter of dress
in her present mood.

Why They Feel Friendly,

Here's a pleasant paragraph from one
of the Democratic papers:
Senator Stanford had pleasant call at the
White House q few days ago. He had not pre-
viously met Mr.. Cleveland and called to pay
his respects. The president recognized him at
once and said some complimentary thing to
him about the Stanford university and the
senator's Identification with the development
of the Pacific coast.
''Well." said the senator, as he acknowledged
the presidents compliments, II simply called
to pay my respects and not to ask any Office"
''That may be" replied the president, but !
want to say that know of no one whose advice
or suggestion l would more willingly follow
than your own"
Now, let it be remembered that Stan
ford is stalwart Republican, and we
can appreciate the good understanding
which Cleveland seeks to establish with
him. When the Democratic president
goes out of his way to seek Republican
advice, it is enough to put even Bill Arp
to thinking. Cleveland is now a million
aire and a president. A few years ago
he was common sheriff who was glad
to earn the $50 fee for hanging a felon.
Stanford is millionaire and senator.
A few years ago he had nothing.
How did he get his millions?
Stole them from the Pacific railroad.
How did Cleveland get his?
By being let into the deals Of Wall
street corporations and goldbugs who
now control his policy.
No wonder he and Stanford feel friend
ly. - Tom Watson in Peoples Party
Paper.

Declare Y0ursAlf.

Four of the most influential Repub-
icans Of Iowa have lately expressed
themselves in line with the Populists'
doctrine. They are, in fact, Populists.
The lines are forming; there is no mid
die ground. You are and of necessity
must be in favor of more money-free
coinage or against it; in favor of pub
lie ownership of all things Sin their ma
ture monopoly" or against it; in IA
vor of reorganization Of our land sys-
tenn or against it. Your conscience,
your interests, humanity, posterity, all
demand that you declare yourself either
for or against these measures. The Pop
ulist party has raised the issue, and
around this standard the hosts Of re-
form are gathering. - Iowa Farmers

Keep Your Bearings.

Democracy is coming out for an in
come tax-that is, to tax the incomes
of all who are not regular contributors
to the campaign fund of the party in
power. It will be sop thrown to the
unthinking that in operation will prove
a match for the interstate farce in re-
ducing the abuses of railroads against
the public.
What next? Repeal the tax on state
banks and initiate the circulating medium,
thus easing up the money situation.
Make state bank notes redeemable in ma
tional bank currency, national bank cur
rency payable in gold.
With an inflated currency, especially
in the south, home consumption will
greatly increase, reducing the exports
while enhancing the volume of imports.
Thus with the balance of trade largely
against us, payable only in gold, where
will be the money Of final settlement in
few years?
Cleveland as the agent of the same
gang that are now at work wrecking
the industries of Australia thinks to
paralyze this "Populist craze" by such a
flank movement. AS in 1878, large
number of the people, the class whose
brains rest below their belt, will be
fooled by the return of prosperity
thus temporarily brought on, but the
acts of the willy Israelite are becoming
familiar to the American people, and
there'l be ''hell on the Wabash" before
the demand for absolute government
issue of every form of currency is ap-
peased through any such subterfuge as
state banks based on interest bearing
bonded securities.
AS well take the hint at once and lay
in for siege. Cleveland and the entire
money power at his back are unit to
kill off the Peoples or any other party
that aims to take from private control
the circulating medium of this nation,
and the subterfuge outlined may be &C
cepted as the present intention of the
administration Nonconformist.

Editor Representative:

All the crops are growing very fairly,
and the knowing ones are already
counting their income from the ex-
pected number of bushels per acre.
Between the grain men and the rail-
roads the combine will make their
levy as the assessors and town boards
make the levy of tax valuation of pro-
perty-sO much on the dollar-so will
the wheat buyers and railroads make
their levy upon the number of bushels
OF wheat per acre. / don't know if
they count the grain or the heads of
wheat to levy their share of the
farmers produce, but the levy of their
share is sure to be made. Then comes
those preternaturally smart judges of
grain, the inspectors, and determine
the size of the grain and the quality,
refusing good golden grain in all that
bounty of air and sun can produce.
