FOUR JOLLY BROTHERS
From the Old Country are Prepar-
ing for the Future.

ing for the Future.
A LIGHT representative had the
pleasure this morning of making
the acquaintance Of four brothers,
William, John, Patrick and George
Mitchell, who are all clever fellows,
and very Intelligent. They arrived
in San Antonio this morning and
stopped over, while on their way
from Scotland to Atacosa county
county. Three years ago Messrs.
Mitchell purchased large ranch
in the adjoining county to Bexar,
and located there. Last year they
left their land in charge of two en-
ployes and departed to spend the
year at their old home in Scotland.
They are now returning and will
winter in Texas.
All four of these young men, the
oldest of whom is % years, are
studying for a profession. They
have employed farm hands suffi-
cent to conduct their ranch, and
have secured the services of good
Mexican cook, and they will be
kept supplied with books, and will
prepair themselves for college,
while alone in little cottage on a
large piece of land, with only a
Mexican cook for a companion.
After they have posted themselves
sufficiently on the rudiments Of
the respective professions they in
tend mastering, they will return to
the old country and enter college.

AN IDYL.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

BY THOMAS KIRBY.
They sat beneath the orchard,
One sultry summer lay.
He held his hat within his hand,
And brushed the flies away.
He gazed into her eyes of blue
And tod her OF his love.
She glanced into his face and bIushed,
And picked the fringe from off her
glove.
He told her of his home and wealth.
For with his love his heart was fired.
She gently clasped his hands in hers,
And murmered, George, you make me
tired.

to Rochester, but he did not want
to get ahead of his schedule, and
lie brought her into the Rochester
depot on time.
The test of speed was to come
between Rochester and this city
Soon after leaving Rochester Hogan
slowed her down a little, tor he
intended to make up the time at
the western end OF the stretch.
Passing Batavia the train was
rushing along at an easy gait of
mile a minute. Then Hogan let
her out. The speed increased as
the engine flew along, and just be
fore reaching Ccittendom the rec
ord Of Tuesday of a mile in 35
seconds was equalled. But this
was exceeded just this eide of that
station, when the new worlds rlc-
ord Of mile in 80 seconds was
made, This is equivalent to 1123
miles an hour. A speed nearly as
great was kept up until Fork s
Station was reached, and then
Hogan slowed her and allowed her
to enter Buffalo at a customary
speed, arriving on time.
The passengers on board said
that the train flew along with the
same steadiness that would have
accompanied slower rate of speed.
There was no unusual swaying or
joltin.s, and only persons who we're
looking out for manifestations OF
extraordinary speed would have
noticed that the clickity click OF
the rails sounded like a roar ot
musketry aud TIE telegraph poles
along the track seemed like picketi
in fence.
No. 999 is 1900 horse power
and has four driving wheels Z fee'
2 inches in diameter. 1t is thought
it will attain still greater speed
a fter a little use.

Bungled Reciprocity.

Reciprocity is sound policy for
all nations. Il means that the
varied peoples of the world shall
deal with each other on terms of
mutual profit. Itmeans tree profit,
1t meaps partial free trade and
partial tariff taxes when that
is best, and it means that nations,
like individuals. shall trade on the
most advantageous terms for both.
The reciprocity feature of the
Mckinley tariff was fashioned by
its enemies. It was not in favor
with the urthors of the new tariff,
and it was rejected by Mckinley
and his associates in the House.
Secretary Blaine finally appealed
to the country by his open letters
to Senator Frye, in which he exs
posed the hollow mockery of pros
lection in the new tariff, and a
bungled reciprocity feature was
finally accepted in the Senate to
save the Mckinley bill from de-
feat and its urthors from disgrace.
We now have the practical res
suits of The bungled reciprocity
system of the present tariff. We
have reciprocal agreements or
treaties with a dozen governments,
embracing Germany, ,Austria-Hun'
gary, San Salvador, Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Honduras, Cuba, Porto
Rico. San Domingo, British West
Indies, Bsszu and British Guiana.
and with nineteen months OF ex-
perience, we can post the BOOKS
and take account of profit and
lose.
Here are the results: Our i'm
ports from five of the countries with
which we have reciprocity agrees
1nents, have increased $141 ,317,s
013, and from seven of them they
have decreased S3,51O,139. The
net increase in exports to four of
the same counties have increased
SIS. sol, 1856, and have decreased in
the other eight 1888. $50. OF the
increased of exports ali but about
$3,O0O,O0O is to Cuba alone,
Taking the aggregates OF exports
and imports with these reciprocity
countries, we have increased the
balance Of trade against our own
people to the immense amount OF
| $126,S82, ,757. This is no reciprocs
ity; it is simply speculating against
ourselves, and it has made recip
rocity appear to defeat itself by its
false application in a bungled tars
if law, We need sensible, BUSINESS
like reciprocity; but the bungline
reciprocity of the Mckinley tariff
prostitutes that vital policy to spec
ulation as the tariff features prosti'
tute protection to monopoly

In Case John Must G. }.

There is more involved in the
depol tation of the Chinese from
this country than temporary un>
settlement OF the present system Of

the matter would no doubt speedily
adjust itself on satisfactory basis.
But certain peculiar industries
that have arisen in connection

It will be remembered that very
soon after Johns arrival in the

awake and find the Chinamau

feet of disappointment might be

Another social phenomenon sups
posed to have come in with the
Mongolian and his native love OF
gambling was his care to see to it
that the policy authorities on the
beats where he congregated for
tan-tan purposes did not go out OF
their way to inter fere with him
The methods he used to accom-.

actly approved by the law, were
said to be very satisfactory to the
officers interested. AS a result

originally an accidental event, pers

be understood that exilipg the

Take these jacques and Marechalneils
Blown in sunny Southern fields,
Blown by soft and balmy breeze,
O'er the beach from sapphire seas,
Where the waves IN glory swell,
And their tales of passion tell
To dreamy leas.
Take these blooms of Dsnasl. SssrEe,
Twist them in thy silken hair,
And to grant last request
Wear the roses at thy breast;
Fer tonight bride thou art
This will soothe broken heart,
And give it rest.
Do not hesitate to take
This pure lily from the lake
For that white and queenly throat,
And while strains of music float
To that happy heart of thine,
Promise me that you'll remember
they are mine.
And II hen tonight the mirth Is Ger,
And sunrays kiss the waxen floor,
Promise me you'll press away
One bright bud from this bouquet;
Press it where thine eyes shall fall,
And some time it may recall
Another day.

sponse: "Mr, Moderator, and gems
tlemen and ladies-I assure you it
affords me the greatest personal
satisfaction to meet representatives
of that great religious denomina-
tioa which has done 60 much to
m ake our people better and hap~
pier, and which is associated with
so many tender and pleasing incis

re,ience. The thought is also in
my mind that in the light Of my
official responsibilities and duties
there is propriety in my welcom-
ing you to this home of the nations
Chief Executive. We profess to be
still Christian people. Applause.
This means that no public officer
of high or low degree shall be un~
mindful OF the restraints OF religs
ions sentiments. It means that
the religious teaching OF our PEGS
pie should lead them to exact from
those who make and execute their
laws recognition of those restraints.
1t means that a religious sense, apA
proved by the people, should nne
derlie the discharge of every Cities
ial duty. 1t means that those who
assume to be religious teachere are
related in responsibility to those
who hold public statione. You will,
therefore, | trust, permit me to say
that though you do well when you
insist upon the conscientious dis
charge of every official duty, and
though you never shrink from ex-
posing official shortcomings, the
contribution you owe to the accom~
p.ishment of good government will
not be fully made unless you teach
people, by precept and by example,
that they will find their welfare
and their safety in enforcing upon
their public servants the observ.
ance of the mandates of Christians
ity and morality. Applause
ought to be inspiration in the
thought that our country's destiny
is in our own hands, as it ought
immensely to dignity our Aineri-
canism, when we know and fee
that those who teach those who
govern, and those in every walk o
civilization, have a share in GU
preservation as Christian people
