A Wrong Imputation.

In the several articles published in yes
tcrday'S paper, calling attention to the
meeting of Republicans, wherein the
name of Dr.. Clifford or Others are men
toned, Ia reference to the barter and
trading of political ombinaCions, concern
ing the Congressional and County tickets
tn BeXar County there was no desire or
intention of the paper. or writer of the
articles to cast any reflection on the hon
eSty and character OF the gentlemen
personally. Have known them for years,
having had dealings with them perSo-
nally, and in business transactions found
them fair and upright The articles were
written with intention only In view of
stirring up the Republicans, and getting
them to attend the meeting, and not in
the least TO cast reflection or the gentle
men personally, as individuals. The
LIGHT is satisfied that the information
given it about the political trade, Con-
occasionally, is erroneous. and from as
Surances received from the gentleman,
himself, we are convinced that no man in
San Antonio will more heartily endorse,
and do more than DR.. Clifford towards
the election of Judge NOOnan for Con-
greSS, from the l2th district.

Killing Rats by ELECTRICITY.

Ftom rhe Philadelphia Recor.
A horde of sewer rats, which
pestered downtown restaurant
keeper, have been decimated by
an Ingenious electrician. The
rodents came up day after day
through a hole alongside the
grated covering of sewsr inlet in
the back yard Of the restaurant.
The electrician offered to construct
an effective trap, and the restau-
rateur told him to go ahead. He
laid coils Of copper wire about the
hole and made an attachment to
the electric light wires within the
building, supplying key to turn
on the current. a watch was kept
on the hole, and when a dozen rats
were playing about the yard the
key was turned. AS the rats
returned one by one to their hole,
they keeled over dead. In this
novel way nearly 100 rats have
been killed off in a little over a
week.

1t is more important just now
that the Republicans of this dis
trict should do their level best to
cut down the present Democratic
majority in the House than that
they should do anything else.
The uncertainties of the guber.
material situation are as pro-
nounced now as when the cam
paign opened. II any one has a
cinch on the chair of Texas it is not
known at this writing.
New Orleans dealt with a wise
promptitude in arresting Debs'
emisaries. 1t saved a tie up in
that city and prevented no end Of
rioting. There is nothing like be-
ing little previous.
The most important service that
is required Of the Republicans of
the country now and the most
patriotic as well is to see that the
Democrats do not control the next
session of congress.
The horrible condition of some
of the streets in the heart OF this
city makes the angels Of city pride
and purity weep blOtches of briny
tears, but the city fathers are too
busy to heed them.
Polygamous Utah will come into
the Union with her double barreled
marriages discounted, but the
doubling will go on just the same.
Bet that she is polygamous to the
end of the chapter.
This Democratic administration
is going to try its awkwardness on
treaty with China. Better let
the heather alone. Gresham is not
sharp enough to arrange a treaty
with those fellows.
When Waco is fairly out of the
wood with her cotton palace she
will agitate the building of a new
courthouse. The country is rich
enough to afford one and needs it
very badly.
Cleanliness is the greatest pre-
VentiVe on earth of all disease and
pestilence. 1t may do to go short
on cleanliness after shutting off
this mortal, but not on this side of
the divide.
The Republicans of Texas will
only make themselves ridiculous
by putting two state tickets in the
field. They might elect half Of a
good ticket, but not two halves of
two splits.
What Queen Lii did not teach
Grover and Gresham they are like
ly to find out if she tackle the
heather Chinee for a treaty,
