EVANS AND MOORE.
The Federal Officers, Will be Re-
tanned Until February Next.

From good authority the LIGHT
has been informed that the office
of United States district attorney,
now occupied by Judge A. j. Evans,
will not be filled with a Democrat
until February LIST, Judge Evans to
be retained until that time. The
report is so founded as to cause
many applications to be sent in to
Judge Evans by young Democratic
attorneys, asking for the appoint
ment of assistant United States at
tOrney.
1t is also stated, with good foun-
datiOn, that Col. r. NJ. Moore will
be retained for a long period, as
special agent of the treasury for
the Texas district.
a LIGHT reporter called on both
of these officials this morning, but
no detinate information could be
ascertained, and they even decline
to make public what they know of
their own knowledge.

EVANS OPINION
Relative to the Employment of For
eign Labor.

Relative to the Employment of For
eign Labor.
l.. b. Gibbs, United States immi-
grant inspector, at FL PasO, has
written letter to United States
District Attorney A. j. Evans,
stating that number of citizens
from Mexico are in the habit of
coming across the Rio Grande river
and working for various corpora
tiOns. He asked whether or not
the attorney desired evidence for
prosecution, if this be a violation
of the laws of this government.
Judge Evans stated to LIGHT
representative this morning that
he would write Mr.. Gibbs, in sub
stance, as follows:
That accOrdingto the statutes of
the United States, there was no
violation of the laws in this in
stance. A contract must be enter
ed into between the company and
the foreigner, prior to their arrival
in the United States, to constitute
an offence. But if the contract is
not entered into, previous to the
time of the laborer's arrival, there
Is no law by which punishment
could be imposed.

THE REPORT DENIED.
The District Clerk and His Assist
ants Very Busy.

The District Clerk and His Assist
ants Very Busy.
The report in the morning paper
that the employees in the district
clerks office have little or nothing
to do at present and pass away the
time playing practical and i'm
practical jokes, is being emphati-
cally denied by the employees of
that office.
Deputy Clerk George Hunt
ress told a reporter for the
LIGHT this morning that
the report is ridiculous. He
says they are more crowded
with work at present than at any
time when the courts are in SEES
sion. Thus far, since the district
courts have adjourned, on June II,
Just 1873 suits have been filed, which
is good and true evidence of the
large amount of work on hand in
the district clerks office.
District Clerk Henry Umscheid,
including his employees, ARE always
kept busy, and the LIGHT will
state that they are never seen idle,
and especially during business
hours.

DALLAS LETTER.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. %, 1893.
! Special Correspondence
A critic and a cynic brings your
correspondent to taw in regard to
some statements made in Dallas
correspondence of the LIGHT. We
informed this reader of the LIGHT
that it is our intention to adhere
as nearly to the truth as is possible
for newspaper men, but that some
times your correspondent got items
from other reporters, and other re-
porters got same from other people
who, themselves, did not stick to
facts. The complaint referred to
was nothing of a very serious ma
ture, however.
care you contemplating going to
the fair?" we asked one of the city
officials, during visit to the city
hall yesterday.
"NO, times are too hard, and the
lack of confidence is going to make
the future harder STILL" said he.
1t is just so, too. 1t is a lack of
confidence The man who has a
dollar is afraid to part with it, lest
you will have a dollar and he will
have none.
The Hon. Barnett Gibbs, who
has returned from an extensive
trip, says. "The only way the
farmer has of knowing times are
hard, he sees and reads it in his
papers, and begins to think that
he also must be a little chary of
his surplus cash." The cOntagion
of hard times is 50 rapid we dread
for the epidemic to break out in
any locality.
a newspaper man of Fort Worth
asked your correspondent if "Dal-
las felt the stringency of the
times"
My reply was: The rich talk a
great deal about it, l suppose they
feel it.
"Do you not~ he asked.
"No sir" not a particle, I
have as much of bank
account right now as 1 had two
and-a-half years ago. / work on
salary, get my money and spend it
and have no fears so long as [ am
in a position to earn moderate
wages" Hard times is no pre-
tentative to going to Chicago, or
subscribing to Trinity navigation.
The town stock was never so dull
and stupid as it is right now.
There was quite a sensation over
the marriage announcement of
Chiny Coon, converted Chinese,
and Mable Brown, white. Mable
Browns past record was not salts
factory to the friends of the man
fromthe celestial empire. Chiny was
radiantly happy till the "Melican"
friends investigated the moral
standing of the bride-elect, and
found her unworthy Chiny's affec-
ton, so the marriage is declared
off, notwithstanding the license
had been issued, as the groom ex-
pectant says his heart is changed.
1t is said that George Wade, son
of old Melvin Wade, cOlored,
who died some time since, was
poisoned by one of his own color.
Two negro men, discussing the
matter within hearing of your
correspondent, thinks chad he been
poisoned the doctors would have
known, and ordered an ante-mOr-

The mile handicap furnished the most
exciting contest of the day. and was a
heavy betting event The winner turned
up in Dan McCarty'S Bridal Veil. who,
well ridden by Peters. had waited in the
fifth and sixth position on Crawford and
Centella clear to within furloDg from
home, when she made her run closely fol-
lowed by Morton, DODohue and Stromboli,
and the quartet finished in that order so
close that a blanket would have covered
them, result that greatly iedounded to
the credit OF the Handicapped.
1t looked at the conclusion of the next
race as II II was going to be a McCarty
day. and many were the silent prayers
offered up by the friends Of the family for
such a happy result. Prize, who was
quoted at the close at the odds of 9 20 q
was well backed by her stable connections,
the amount Of money for Sympatbetlc's

the good price about her. She made her
own running almost from the start. and

just robbed of show money by ZampoSt in

teen starters. a big plunge on Forerunner
sent his odds down from threes to to 5,
but the weight of metal behind other can

twos. This was the best thing of the day
for the players of form and class, for the
Fastener was far superior to ANYTHING
else in the race. Ichi Ban cut out the
pace for three-quarterS of a mile. with
Clacquer close alongside. The latter en-
tered the stretch comfortably in the lead,
and he stuck to his work to the eighth
pole. where the favOrite came through and
won easily from AdOlph, who had made a
