LEAVING MODERN EMooRACY.

II. W. Young, editor and proprietor
Of the Independence Star and KsnsRn,
says editorially in his last issue:
"For the first time the Star and Kanssn
this week places the Populist ticket, state
and county, at the head Of it's columns.
The reasons that have led me to step out of
the democratic psrty, with which I had
been connected ever since was old enough

the Star and Ksnssn during the past year
knows why have broken the political ties
Of q lifetime and cast my lot with
a party that is yet small, poor and de-
spised."
After reviewing the treRchery and hy-
pocrisy Of the democratic party, Mr..
Young concludes:
"On the other hand, the reforms the
Peoples party demands are for the most
part in that direction, It's platform speaks
in no uncertain tones in the interest Of the
masses and against the Glasses who are
rObbing them. And yet it does not 20 as

Another society is to be organized
in New York for the rescue of sane
persons illegally and improperly con-
fined in asylums for the insane. The
organizati ton already in existence is
conducted by a number of enthusi-
astic persons who re positive that at
least thirty per cent of the inmates of
asylums in the United States are sane
and kept in duress by persons inter
ested in depriving them of their lib
erty. Several mem bers Of the exist
ing society have been in asylums as
patients and they are the most vehe-
ment in their assertions. They have
succeeded in several instances in Sc
curing the release of persons from
private asylums, and in one or two
cases the ratients had to be returned
because they had not been cured
Just what the new society expects to
do remains to be seen.

Tribute to Beck's Concerts.

To the Daily LIGHT.
Music lovers of the Alamo City
will indeed be sorry to learn Of the
departure of Carl Beck for Ger
many to spend the summer at
Karlsbad, as they anticipated the
musical treat they received at
Beck's concerts to last all summer,
which was really an artistic one,
no city in the south had the oppor-
tunity for such a musical recrea-
tion as San Antonio and its success
must be credited to Carl Beck as
the master hand, he raised his
baton and thrilled the listeners
souls with harmony from those
great immortal masters as Wagner
Verdi and Meyer beer, never to be
forgotten.
Although his orchestra consisted
nearly all of amateurs, but his
training and direction then rem
dered their music skillfully and
artistically as professionals. 1t is
the wish of every lover of music
that he will journey back safe to
our midst and delight us with the
noblest gift with which our Creator
has inspired us. "A.
