The unbeautiful snow fell over
San Antonio to a greater depth
than ever before, on Thursday, and
I the hurrah over it on the streets
was only second to the election
rumpus.
San Antonio can take more fun
out Of less snow than any other city
OF its size on the continent.
The call is sounded all along the
line to make the "Good Roads"
campaign lively. So long.
There is no necessity Of holding
back from that constitutional con-

says that it is unnecessary. The

The Texas state Legislature runs
mighty close second to the Nat

country when it works by the day
and not by the job.
Hogg comes down to his native
element and arranges to take office
as railway attorney. This is what
was to be expected of the great
anti-railrOad governor. He is a
great big egoist.
The newspaper circles of Texas
are not to find an addition in the
person of the late governor of the
state. The IcOnoclast and the rail-

The proceedings Of Congress have
lost all interest for the country
outside of the action that is posi-
BILE on the Hawaiian question, and
even here the country is convinced
that congress will not allow that
republic to be Overborne by the
weight of monarchical feeling in
the administration at Washington.
Altogether affairs at the national
capital are dead and waiting
sepulture.

Seward has no claim on thelUnited
States. He has resided lin Hawaii
a number OF years, has held office in

every way identified. with that
country. The mere fact that he
was born in this country. should
not weigh against all Of his active
participation in the affairs Of Ha'
wall during a series Of years, now

When Pfeffer asserted on the
floor OF the Senate that he knew
more than Attorney General
Olney, it did not surprise those
who knew the unbounded conceit

those who are acquainted with the

Attorney General. His gifts in the
direction OF ignorance and initiation
are greater than the Attorney
Generals office has ever seen.

The Republican party in enter
ing upon its inheritance OF hard
work and difficult legislation can
not afford to rush the mourners, in
the effort to put into effect the
abortive schemes OF the treasury
chief and his dead policies. The
country is no more sick of these
than it is Of the effort to put the
credit and cash of this country in
pawn for the benefit Of the holders
OF American bonds, who demand
and are paid their principal and
interest in gold coin without any
reason. The Republican party was
put into power to legislate for the
people and II they are wise and
would perpetuate the control Of the
govern ment that has been intrust-
ed to them, they will not disregard
the signs of the times by which
that will Is indicated.

of men in this city who need for
themselves and families the daily

would give them. This promise of

That Gulf coast in the neighbor-
hood Of Arkansas Pass and Corpus
is waiting upon deep water at the
Pass. There is an impression that
San Antonio is also dependent up
on that work for an outlet, but

three strings to her deep water
bow and any one Of them will do
to give her the outlet that she de-
sires.

The idea Of making man work
five or ten days on the public roads
simply because he is man Of a
certain age is one Of the most nom
sensical ideas in the world. The
man who pays the taxes that are
levied on his property has done
his duty in the maintenance Of
the public highway, and il he has
not then it is in order to raise his
taxes until he does, but to levy a
tax of ten days or less on him be-
cause Of his manhood is a fraud
and an injustice. The poor man
who never drives over the road is
taxed the same as his neighbor
and there is no discharge, no mat.
ter how many teams the neighbor
owns and how much he uses the
roads. There is no justice or equal
ity OF dealing in this method Of
trying to force work upon the high.
ways and it should be at once dis.
continued. To tax man without
property the amount OF ten days
work for his share OF road construc.
ton is abominable. Those ten
days represent dollars and cents
that his family need and OF which
the state has robbed him without
giving him any equivalent. The
state should not set the example
OF stealing. 49,.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1895

The weather is against that Good
Roads convention that is billed to
meet at Houston on the 18th, but
the occasion is one that should not
be lightly neglected. One of the
most important questions that will
be discussed will be that of the
employment of the cOnvictS of the
several counties upon the public
highways. There is no occasion
for the LIGHT.tO define its position
on this matter. For the past four
years this paper has insisted, in
season and out of season, that there
should be a perpetual stop put TO
the leasing of cOnvicts to private
parties, and that all of the two
years men and those serving less
sentence than two years should be
employed upon the county roads.
There has as yet been no good
reason advanced for not adopting
ahis policy, and there will be none,
for it is in line with the best in
terests of the cOnvicts and of the
counties employing their labor on
the public highways. 1t is to be
hoped that the meeting at Hous-
ton on Tuesday will be well at
tended, and that it will be con-
sentative in its action and radical
in its ideas. Nothing else fills the
bill at this time in this or in any
other progressive state.

To THE GRowKRs AND FzcKERs or
MARYLAND TOBACCO Gentlemen The
Leaf Tobacco Association Of Baltimore, In
the interest Of the trade in Maryland To-
bacco. feels the necessity Of laying before
You the following circular. requesting you
to give the same your full and earnest con-
sideration.
The business in Maryland Tobacco has
severely suffered during the pastssw years,
through the more or less unsatisfactory
handling of the crop on the part of Plant
ers, and particularly through poor condi-
tioning, careless assortment in stripping
and packing, as also through false pack
ing of hogsheads with scraps, stems or
sweepings.
The European consumers of Maryland
Tobacco-foremost among whom Is the
French Government. our largest and best
customer-have become very strict in the
classification of tobacco delivered to them,
aud the French Government, particularly,
classes its receipts according 10 the oscesf
grade Of tobacco contained in the hogs
heads, and absolutely rejects az hogslsads
mized NTH seconds.
The buyers in our market necessarily
protect themselves against losses caused by
such classification, and must ignore the
better grades contained in mixed stripped,
or mixed packed hogshead; crop tobacco
mixed with seconds they refuse to buy for
France, however anxious they may be 10
secure the good grades, partially contained
in the hogshead. Buying and Repacking
ofmixed hogsheads does not pay foreign
shippers.
Holland and German markets havessalso
become much more particular in their de-
mands, and the above recommendations
apply with equal force to the grades bought
by them-especially seconds. Not leaf
of crop Tobacco should be strippelin .
hogshead Of seconds, and iine seconds
should be rigidly assorted, as they always
command good price, If uniform.
Farmers must readily see that they are
the ultimate losers, through faulty pack
ing, and that II is to their best interest 10
Immediately adopt strictsr mode o. strip
ping and packing.
If this is not done, Maryland Tobacco
viii continue to decline in favor with con-
sumers, especially since handlers Of tobac-
co in all competing markets have found II
to their interes. to materially improve their
packing.
The Leaf Tobacco Association therefore,
convinced of the importance Of this meas
ure, begs Farmers to accept and follow this
advice, because careful assortment i the
only way by which full market prices can
be secured.
Very respectfully.
