Italians in England.

A pamphlet has been issued by Prof.
Litta, Sicilian statistician, who states
that twenty thousand Italians residing
in England, "of whom the vast major
ity are not robust, independent bread
winners, but children scarcely emerged
from infancy, hiredfrom their parents,
or, more truly, sold by them, to
pirouette and gambol through the
European cities to the sound of tam
BOURNE or hurdy-gurdy, and by the
compassion they excite to draw from
the thoughtless alms-giver the dole
from which their hard tasl1masters earn
a profitable livelihood" Of these I'M
desirable residents America has it's
quota. With the rate of taxation in
Italy at twenty-one dollars a head,
small wonder that her careless, indolent
people are so ready to receive the
blood money of the rapacious for

How to Free the Country From
Ringlsm,
To the Daily LIGHT.

ISluSlSlu,
To the Daily LIGHT.
1t strikes me, that by putting a
county ticket in the field, the Pop.
ulists will be merely playing into
the hand Of the big four, and will
help to perpetuate them in office. /
am quite positive that the Popu-
lists will not poll as many votes in
Bexar as they polled in 1892, and
they were in most pitiful minor
ity that year. The working men
will hardly vote in a body with
the Populists, and even should
they do so, their vote would not be
large enough to crown the Popu-
lists with a victory in Be&ar.
Where is the good sense and the
sound judgment, then, in the Popu-
lists in nominating county
ticket in Bexar? They are in a
woful minority, and without a
ghost Of a shadow Of chance of
electIng their county ticket.
The rescue of the county from
the grip of the syndicate of the
office holders, known as the "big
four" appeals to the self-respect
and patriotism of every voter in the
county, whose soul is imbued
with spark Of manhood and love
of liberty, land should never be sub
ordinated to partizan feelings and
considerations. The Syndicate of
office holders abrogates to itself the
right to name all the county officers
without so much as going through
the empty form of consulting the |
people, and the voters have SUBJ
mitted to this autocracy too long
already for their own manhood. Is /!
not this statement literally true?
The yoke of the "big four" must |
be cast off with Indignation and |
contempt. We are not worthy of |
the name of free men, in case we
shall wear this CALLING yoke any |
longer. County voters and city |
voters must unite and act together
in this effort to emancipate the
people from the yoke of a ring,
which sits on the coun-
ty like huge nightmare.
We must strike for the
emancipation of the people from
thraldom to ring. 1t vitality con-
Germs every citizen to smash this
ring. 1t rises far above party and
party considerations, as we'll as
mere personal ambitions. 1t over
shadows all other issues ard
dwarfs into insignificance all 9th,
Are we free men,
in case we tamely suffer the
big four to select all our
county officers. and are content to
ratify their autocratic doings?
Most certainly not. The big four
claims the right to name our coun-
ty Judge, our district attorney and
our district judge, and If the men
alleged to have been picked out
for these offices, are really the
choice of the big four, it is high |
time the people were in open re-
volt. None of them are fit for the
offices.
Now, to smash the combined |
county and city syndicate of office |
holders demands a cordial union
of the real Democrats, the Repub-
licans and the Populists, on COM
mon ticket. The people must |
choose such a ticket. The Lopez |
plan will not work. 1t ignores the |
people. B. j. f.

would have had that terrible affection. We

benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs lO6 pounds her nervousness and symp-

attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
OF her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no

not an accident; 1t is a growth. IL is, as my
