For the Daily LIGHT:
In about SIX weeks from now, the
city election will occur, and the
people should be studying the con-
dition of things staring them in
the face. 1t is not mere ordinary
city election, where whoever may
be elected TO the city offices will
conduct the government to the in
terest Of the city and the people.
The county is in the hands and
and in the control Of a ring. This
fact is beyond controversy or de-
NAL. This county ring is schem-
ing and working to capture the city
government and run it for its own
benefit.
The people owe it to themselves
to consider what will be the cOnse-
quenCes OF letting the same ring
run both the county and the city.
They should think this matter over
before the election, and make up
their minds to keep the city gov
eminent out Of the clutches OF the
county ring.
This is a vitality important mat
ter, both to the people and the city,
and rises clear above all other is
sues.
1t has been stated that a mem.
Der of the County Ring had boast
ed that the ticket put out by the
Ring would obtain a majority OF
1000 on the west side OF the San
Antonio river, ant that this ma
jority could not be overcome.
Our business men and tax pay
ers, and all patriotic citizens who
abhor ring rule, must take and
maintain a bold and unflinchiDg
stand against the ring ticket. Nc
matter how much we may person
ally like the men who will be put
in the ring, it will be our bounder
duty to black ball them. The prime
object is TO keep the city govern
ment out Of the hands OF the rims
which runs the county.
IL the MeXicans vote solidly
why should not our Caucasior
citizens vote, as unit, in order tC
defeat the county ring and assure
a good city government? Common
sense, patriotism and selfpreserva
ton point out and demand such {
course.
Democrats, Republicans anc
Populists should heartily unit
and cooperate to save the cit!
from the clutches OF the county
ring. When the vessel is leakin.
every man must help to man th'
pumps and save the vessel.

Lectures For Young Naval Ofacers In fhe

Up TO a few days ago the United

sas an institution that had very little

Watertown Public Opinion, 8: A re-
porter hailed Judge Campbell, who stop.
ped over enroute to Clear Lake, and ask
ed him ABOUT the reported prayer meet
ing the people OF Aberdeen had the
other day for rain. The Judge admitted
that in response to a proclamation by
the mayor the business houses Of Aber-
deen we're closed Tuesday, last week,
and the people assembled at the grain
palace for the purpose Of praying for
rain. Peculiar as it may seem, the vicin-
ity was visited the following day by a
soaking rainfall. @
The Judge casually added that he
didn't know but that he should soon be
a firm believer in the efficacy OF prayer.
When the Corbet- Mitchell fight was the
talk of the country, his little boy had
just begun to take an interest in reading
and particularly in the illustrations in
the newspapers. AS was his. custom, he
knelt down by his bedside the night be-
fore the battle was to take place to Of
fer up his usual supplication. He had
incurred the idea somehow that Nit
cheIl was a british sort of a fellow, and
he closed his supplication with the hope
that Corbett would succeed in giving
Mitchell a sound thrashing. Whether,
the boys prayer had anything to do
with the outcome must be a matter of
speculation; at any rate the country
knows that the Englishman was most
gloriously licked.
Those Aberdeen fellows, including
their distinguished ~jurist, ought to be
getting more to believe in prayer han
in the rain making device!
