THE fact that Governor Lewelling
once tramped the streets in search of
work is forming serious topic for dis
custom in republican newspapers. Ac-
cording to those sheets and the policy
OF their party, no man who has not ac-
CURED fortune is fit to hold an Office.
The criticism those papers and their
corrupted party have heaped upon the
governors tramp circular" is suflici-
ent evidence that they only consider a
man worthy who can put on fine
clothes, no matter how much brains
he may possess. The policy of the re-
publican party is toady to wealth and
fortune, and treat the poor with con-
tempt and arrogance. The republican
party has DO use for brains, consequent
ly it avoids them.

The issue before the American pep
pie is not the relative merits of mono
metallism and bimetallism, but the
light is between those who advocate
the claims of the commodity system
OF finance and the advocates of the ssnu-
merary'' monetary system. Gold and
silver men are alike s'eommodity''
money men, in that they maintain that
there must be standard of value, .
consisting of a certain set quantity of
some certain metal, or metals. The
'nunerary' theory maintains that the
exchange value of each unit of a volume
of money, depends upon and is regulat-
ed by the number of units in circu-
lation- The gold men understand this
and know it to be true, hence their
fight upon silver. If the silver men
gain their point, they will unite with
the gold men In fighting the issue OF
sAgal tender paper money.

ADMINISTERING LAW IN TEXAS

A Cow Thief Too Busy to Serve His Sem
tence.
In the county seat of little Texas
frontier town, an illiterate old cattle
man was brought up before the grand
jury for cow-stealing. The old man
had been stealing cows all his life, and
looked upon this arrest as a joke.
thinking that his money and his in
fiuence would be able to pull him
through. Consequently he sat through
the trial with look of sublime I'M
concern on his face, cutting off chew
after chew of tobacco and whiting a
bit of pine with his old Barlow knife.
The evidence, however, seems to have
been conclusive, for the jury retired
and speedily returned, bringing in a
verdict of guilty, and the judge as
sessed term of five years in the peni-
tertiary.
"Whut's that?" exclaimed the old
rascal, jumping up and splitting his
guild out, ''whut's that, gentlemen?
Five years in the penitentiary? Me?
Five year in yer burned ole jail that

The judge was an ''old-timer," too.
He had dealt in mavericks before he
took to the law.

said, Internally awkward! Let's see

Hops on Shardoin.

The Weekly Tonguelet claims
discrimination in dealing out JUS
tice to negro offenders, by Recorder
Phil Shardein, and scores him as
follows:
"a good part of the Negro popu-
latiOn is justly indignant at Re-
corder Shardein for the discrimina-
ton and injustice practiced upon
Negroes who appear before him
with complaints of abusive treat
ment from the opposite race, or
when that race complains against
the Negro race. Two cases in ques-
ton occurred last Tuesday morning.
George Ramsay made complaint
against white fellow who cursed
ed him numerically and attempt
ed to stab him with a dangerous
knife. Ramsey to save himself,
struck the fellow. Ramsey made
complaint before Recorder Shar-
dein, giving convincing testimony,
still the partial arbiter dismissed
the case because he was a Negro
and had no right to complain
against any treatment received
from white person. Again an
old Negro woman and man were
arraigned, charged with disorderly
conduct. The Recorder heard
patiently the testimony of
the white person, but en-
phatically told the Negroes to
hush up, refusing them any
chance to state their side, saying
81 fine you, the old woman, $500
and you, the old man, $1,000" 1t is
simply an outrage on the Negro
population to be thus treated at a
tribunal, where impartiality and
justice are proclaimed to be the at
tributes of the dispenser. An old
Negro, man or woman, or any
other, has as much right to be
heard in their own defense as any
9th er party. We call upon Recor-
der Shardein to remember that
the reckoning time will come some
day and by his acts he shall be
judged"
The LIGHT is of the opinion that
Editor Harbert is not fully con-
versant with all the facts, because
Shardein has no greater fault than
a big tender heart, and is apt to
be too lenient, with offenders
against the law. For the short
time that Phil Shardein has been
acting as Recorder, both friends
and foe say he, is the fairest, aud
best Recorder San Antonio has
ever had.

taken out by an officer to identify

fered him money to burn the

Thomas Wilson. When Mr.. Will
son was seen the negro said {:
''There he is, that's him." When
Wilson was stopped, the negro
said "guess rs got de wrong man,"
and he was taken back to the coun-
ty prison. Judging from this fact,
it is thought that the negro at
tempted to burn the building
without being urged or even re-
quested by any one.

Wants to Make Money Fast.

From the Weekly Tonguelet.l
"To all who have closely OBJ
served the Negro,it has been clear
ly manifested, that when he in
vests dollar in an enterprise, he
expects Immediately a dividend Of
100 per cent. If this dividend does
not come to him, or he is asked to
advance little more to tide the
thing on to success, he begins to
howl and refuses to come to the
rescue. Negroes must learn to do
like white men, put enough money
into an enterprise to insure success
with good management"
