Mr. Besant's gifted relation,
Mrs. Annie Besant, is, we be-
lieve, at.present in this country
conducting a vigorous war upon
a rival Theosophist. She is a
pronounced radical and a des-
piser of titles and all such rub
bish. 1t is to be hoped that the
elevation Of her beloved kins~
man will not lead to any estrange
ment between two such clever
people. We shall look for great
things to come from Sir Walter
Besant, when he buckles on his
trenchant sword and takes up
his yet mightier pen to champ
ion the cause of "Anglo-Saxon''
reunion. Don Quixote in all his
glory was never so puissant as
our modern Knight assailing the
windmills of progress and essay
ing to set back the hands Of time
on the dial of Fate.

years experience, however, lemon
strated that those of us who believed in
1878 hat a larger use of silver by the
United States would enhance its price
or value, were mistaken. Instead of
increasing the price of silver, it con-
tinued with greater rapldity tia be-
fore, Notwithstanding all the efforts
made by our government to uphold 1t,
| until now the bullion contained in a
silver dollar is worth only about half
as much as the bullion contained in d
gold dollar. The conditions have en-
tirely changed since 1878. x y The
speech made by me on the occasion
referred to has been garbled and
| twisted ana perverted in an act of Con-
sress during the past three years with
a malicious ingenuity which has
| scarcely aver been equalled in the dis
cussion OF a public question, and yet no
| one has even ventured to make a direct
assertion thai it contained a single
word in favor of the free coinage of
silver. 1t was in fact, made in Opposi-
ton to free coinage and in support of
the Senate substitute for a free coinage
bill. as can be seen by anyone who Will
take the trouble to read it. Certain
sentences in which | denounced in
strong language the attempt to ode
stroV'' silver as Il money metal, have
been separately from their context and
quoted again and again in Congress, on
the stump, and in newspapers, by men
who never read the speech and who APP
pear wholly incapable Misunderstanding
the difference between the total disuse
of that metal as money 9nd its free and
Unlimited coinage at the public expense
for the benefit of private individuals
and corporations. 1have a copy of the
speech here, but will not detain you by
reading extracts from it to show what
nv position was, because any gentle
man who desires to DO so a find it in
full in the appendix to the Congressional
Record for the second session of the
Forty-tifth Congress. Some of the
opinions there expressed have been
changed altogether by subsequent
events and by Il more thorough investi.
cation of the subjects to which they
related, but on the question of fre>
coinage my convictions have never
been shaken for a moment
It seems that this ought to be
a sufficient answer to stop the
mouths Of his critics. Consis.
tency ceases to be a jewel wher
it becomes d mere blind adher
ence to the false, even though
the false was formerly believed
to be the truth.

FIVE NEW

A cablegram Of May "a says:
Among those knighted upon the
occasion of the Queens birthday,
are Henry Irving. the actor; Wal
ter Besant, the author; DR.. w
H. Kingston, of Montreal; Lewis
Morris, the poet, and DR.. w. H.
Russell, the war correspondent"
OF the five gentlemen thus dec
grated with a tinsel title, the
first is truly great in his pro-
fession; the rest / mere leather
and prunella. Henry Irving is
thd most distinguished actor on
the English speaking stage, a
scholarly man who may be ex-
cused for accepting the cheap
honor of knighthood, since his
fame, by it's very nature, evanes-
cent and the once derided guild
of ''play-actors' may justly
make the Q OF any nOnOr
awarded to it's membership.
The knighting of Mr.. Besant
may invite suggestive compari-
son with the other Sir Walter,
the Wizard of the North, but it
will not be to the disadvantageof
Scott. The new Sir Walter has
nothing of the Jacobite in his
composition. He is truly, even
abjectly, loyal to the throne, and
firmly believes that some day
these revolted American colonies
will return to their allegiance.
The restoration Of British su-
premacy on this continent, he
says, lis too vast. it is too i'm
portant, to be achieved in a day
or in a generation; but it will

DR. Kingston, of Montreal. has
been heretofore unknown tt
fame, but no doubt he is a re.
spectacle citizen and can stand
being called Sir, whatever his
first name is, with equanimity.
Mr.. Morris is a poet of the pc
Rod; not of the same rank, as
Swinburne, or Kippling, or any
real poet who is liable at any mo
ment to put unpleasant truths
into undying erse and so tend to
upset the divinity that doth

patients in the city hospital itself,
a charge Of so cents per patient
was made. This would make the
cost of caring for forty patients
5000 per month.
HOSPITAL AND GROUNDS.
When the city hospital was re-
occupied, after being repaired, broad
gravel walks were put in, shade
trees and fine grass lawn was
planted. But for an abundance of
trash and papers under the win
dows, the yard is we'll kept. Now
and then a we'll fed patient makes
himself useful and cleans up the
place.
The hospital first and second
floors are divided each into an east
and west wing. The lower west
wing is devoted to surgical and
other cases of male patients. The
lower east wing is the consumptive
ward. The upper west wing is
called the deserted ward and is far
from being kept tidy or clean.
Here are two morphine and one
insane patient. The upper east
wing is the female patients ward
and is a model Of neatness. The
upper rooms, connecting the two
wings, are occupied by the female
attendants and are very homelike.
The lower rooms are used for offices
and the sleeping apartment Of DR..
Clavin, who spends nearly all Of
his time at the hospital, ready to
administer to the wants of the pa
tients, of whom there are at pres
ent twenty in the institution.
DANGEROUS NUISANCE.
1t is a notorious fact that the
San Pedro creek furnishes a sewer
for the hospital. A morgue, where
bodies are dressed and post NOR
tenn examinations are held, has its
washings to run into this open
sewer. Thus the poisons Of typhoid
fever cases and other Contagious
diseases are carried into the creek,
and there seems to be no remedy
for it, until the new sewer connec-
lions are made.
This state of affairs is regretted
by DR.. r. Menger, who, in his capa-
city as city physician, is also kind
Of consulting official to the hospital
management. He is anxious to
aid in any reforms that the hos
pital committee may institute, and
has some valuable suggestions to
offer.

While San Antonio is hesitating
over the establishment OF an san
nual fair and exposition" it may
bo we'll to consider the following
from The lips of the "business
manager" OF the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton, given in the course OF con-
versation with the writer:
"The st. Louis exposition is
worth to the city of st. Louis every
year not less that $4,000. 1t is
the excuse for the railroads to ad-
vertise and to make reduced rates
during the period OF the forty days
OF each years exposition. 1t gives
fine music and affords cheap and
wholesome recreation for the home
people, as we'll as those living near
about st. Louis, at the small figure
OF 20 cents for four concerts of fine
music by Sousa's band, and ex-
hibits displayed with taste, beauty
and attractiveness. 1t brings the
people to the city and they buy
what they need. 1t is the place to
show the stranger, and is the best
advertising medium to the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and the
farmer; and the exhibitor is re-
warded by sales Of goods and the
Introduction of his wares and
manufactures, and the farmer by
the exhibit OF what his portion OF
the country produces, and is an in
vitation in every direction for
those who want to buy land, goods
or manufactured articles. No city
claiming to be the centre Of an ag.
ricultural and manufacturing re.
gion can afford to be without an
exposition, for its value is in equal
ratio with the growth Of the city
and state. st. Louis merchants
could better afford to subscribe $685.
600 year, rather than not have it.
1t paid $4,000 the first year and
every year OF its existence and is
now out OF debt, and its future is as
sured, having made nearly $4,000
this year even against the Column
bian Fair. Exhibits are offered
from everywhere and home people
are enthusiastic. The st. Louis
Exposition is success and fix
ture. st. Louis people are loyal to
it and will support it for years and
years.
These words are carefully COM
mended to the thoughtful consld-
Grafton of San Antonio business
men by ED. LIGHT.

CYCLE BREtrrlES.

/
The Misses Tyner and Miss
Lyle are among the latest lady
converts to the cycle fad.
An elegant new tandem has been
put in stock by one of the local
bicycle dealers and is being starred
as capital engagement present.
Elmo Eason is one of the most
prominent young riders on the
track. He has a movement that
promises fine results in a few years
with good training.
Frank Corothers has heretofore
made no pretensions to anything
beyond fast road riding, but he
has picked up considerably an
rides unusually well.
San Antonio has a greater num-
Der of bicycle repair shops than
any city in the state, and vet Dali
las, Fort Worth, Houston and Gal
weston each have more complete
shops. The brazing is done here
on small blacksmith FORCES and
enameling ovens are unknown
quantities here.
The injury to Alderman Beck
mann last Sunday was caused by
his looking back while making a
squirt on the back stretch. A very
large proportion of accidents at BIZ
cycle races have been caused by
the leader of a bunch of riders
looking back to see the positions
of the other men. Many a racing
man has been warned off the track
for his persistent looking back and
thus endangering the riders be-
hind him.
Ed. Kingsbury, the famous Tex
as trick rider, Ed. Parker and Geo.
l.. Solomon, the two fastest men
in North Texas, passed through
the city Tuesday on their way to
Waco. The men had been to Ia
redo and Monterey where they
smashed Texas and Mexican rec
ords. r. Hugo Hofheinz, of this
city, the fastest man on the track
in the state today, has also re-
turned. H. ID. Spore has also re-
turned with the boys.
Fred. l.. Wihmans, a local rider,
went out dove shooting with a
target rifle and a days lunch at
the Salado Tuesday morning. He
punctured his tire in three places
while trying to lift the machine
over a barb wire fence. Having
forgotten his patching outfit he
partially unlaced his tire and
stuffed in a hand full of feathers
and leaves. 1T was rough riding, he
says, but it beat walking back to
town.
At Monterey r. HI. Hofheinz
rode 3 miles in competition in
1913. G. l.. Solomon mile in
43 seconds, unpaced, and w. III.

DALLAS LETTER.
DALLAS, Sept. u. 1895.

DALLAS, Sept. q, 1895.
To the Daily LIGHT:
The dead bodies Of Sam Wilson
and Katie Carter are at the under
takers awaiting advices from
friends. IL no money is sent they
will be buried by the county as
paupers. 1t is quite certain the
woman's father, who lives in st.
Louis, will not contribute toward
the burial expenses, as his way
ward daughter has seemingly been
dead to him for years.
The schools were never so full.
There is not a room but what is
crowded. There is talk of putting
on more teachers.
The State Fair association has
closed contracts for the Royal
Hawaiian band, a glee club of fifty
musicians, and Payne's "Last Days
Of Pompeii," to be produced with
all attention to detail, with
which it was so successfully shown
in London, New York and Chicago
The prize fight is casting a shadow
over the fair to such an extent that
one seldom hears about the fair.
1t is always the glove contest that
is uppermost in the minds of the
people.
Lots are for sale on every hand,
but prices are a little too stiff to
cause many sales to be effected.
The "big rich" who own real es-
tate are holding fast to every foot
of ground they own; in some in
stances they would sell If pur-
chaser willing to pay two or three
prices could be found. One firm
owns a 200 X 200 vacant lot on
Ross avenue, which they hold at
500 per front foot.
"What must we do about our
back taxes" asked a lady Of a
real estate agent and money lem
der. "Don't know"
"We have not paid our taxes for
1898 yet" she said.
"Neither have / nor for a long
time before. lam not going to pay
city taxes on my property when
such men as Gibbs, Burke and
others get out Of it," said he.
"What will you do then when
your place is sold for taxes?" asked
the lady.
Eight them-Compromise later,
they cannot sell my home for tax
es," said he.
The poorer class are mostly pay
ing very promptly.
Mayor Holland now thinks the
city can be tided over on the taxes
without borrowing $4,000, for
which negotiations were made last
summer. off the people are even
measursbly prompt in liquidating

In the late International Athlet-
ic contest the American team
clearly demonstrated to the thou
sands CT people who attended the
field sports that they were far sup
erior to the British; the records
made showing a cutting off from
those held by the English at home.
The best of spirit prevailed
among the contestants and unlike
the yacht race, congrs tulations
were exchanged between the rival
teams, and cheers by the multi
tude were given to our visitors for
their sportsmanlike demeanor in
accepting defeat at the hands of
the Americans with so much grace.
Tents, bedding, camping utensils,
etc, are being gotten in readiness
for the quail season which opens
on Tuesday next.
Our sportsmen are planning
where to make their first outing.
Many a former "good place" has a
sign on the fence, "Posted, keep
out" (this means YOU.
Some true sportsmen are not
satisfied with the "Posted" sign
and approaching the proprietor
kindly request permission to hunt
on his place. A law abiding citizen
is hardly ever refused the pleasure.
It's the poacher and market hunter
who causes the farmer and pasture
owner to post his place. Their in
discriminate shooting, often. wound
ing or killing stock, has become SC
obnoxious to them, that they are
bound to refuse all, to the detri-
ment of those few who are careful
and responsible. A day of good
sport is worth the asking, "and my
word for it," you will seldom be re-
fused the privilege.
The green wing teal are making
their appearance on the coast, and
