San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-10-22

them. This article is meant to in
form the people Of San Antonio, OF
the cause, origin and purpose Of
the war waged on it by profession
al agltators and thinly disguised
anarchists, so that they may not
be misled by Misrepresentation
and falsehood into treating this
paper with rank injustice. All this
paper asks is justice, fair dealing
and the exercise of the right con-
fessed on it by the laws of the land
and by God, and it is confident the
public will not so far debase itself
as to be used as the catspaw and
tool of professional agitators,
chronic Intermediates and busy
bodies and disguised anarchists.
With what wrong and outrage is
the LIGHT charged? What has &C.
casioned the attempt to boycott it..
Five years ago, the LIGHT
discharged it's printers, because
they attempted to deprive its own
ers of their lawful right to control
and manage their business. 1t
employed other printers, and has
had no trouble with them. Its
present printers are citize MS
of San Antonio and Of Texas, they
are quiet and useful citizens, earn
ing their daily bread in the sweat
of their faces, and attending to
their own bust ness. They are
most of them tax payers, and
spend their earnings in San Anto-
MO. They are under the protectio n
of the laws of the State Of Texas,
and have an undeniable right, by
the law Of nature and of man, to
toll for subsistence. So long as
its present printers continne to
perform their work, in satisfac-
tory manner, this paper will re-
tain them In spite Of dictation and
bOycotting.
Sydney Smith said pathos in
sermon, prepared week before it's
delivery, was ludicrous. The per-
secutors and boycotters of this pa
per are enraged because the LIGHT
dischared printers who did not
suit it, five years past, and in the
exercise of its lawful right, en-
ployed others who hid suit it, and
who are now in it's employ. The
alleged offence of the LIGHT is
barred by the statute of limita-
tions. The persec utors and boy
cotters Of this poper in digging up
a grievance, that has slept in the
graveyard for five years re-
mind us of the fellow
who was converted and protested
religion at one Of Sam Jones' meet
ngs last year. The next day while
walking down the street, this new
ly-made Christian met a Jew and
without provocation, proceeded to
knock him down; the Jew picked
himself up and asked the reason of
his being assaulted. "Why," replies
the newly-made Christian, "be-
cause you are one Of those aCcursed
Jews who crucified Jesus Christ"
THAT took place eighteen hundred
and ninety-three years ago, and
you know from that fact it was i'm
possible for me to have borne a
part in the crucifiXion of Christ"
says the Jew. at makes no differ
ence when it happened, never
heard about it until last night"
says the recent convert.
The prosecutors and boycotters
of the LIGHT are mad about an
event that occurred five years ago.
The working men who joined in
the boycott, perhaps, have only
just heard that the LIGHT dis
charged its union printers five
years ago, and has had no trouble
with its present force.
Gen. Raum, who spoke at the
opera house, has the reputation of
being great political campaigner.
