He looked sad and weak as he went

of which his heart was made.

They heard a wild shouting up the
street, where the open door of saloon
emptied its light into the street.
A crowd of men alternately surged
In and out of the door, as If they moved

AS they drew near, the howl Of the

laid his hand on his brothers shoulder.
There was no sign of relenting in
Bills eyes. He looked astonlshed, then
his eyes contracted to red slits, his
mouth squared at the corners and his
teeth showed in n horrible grin. His
hand spread on the counter like paw.
'"To - wild yer' he answered.
Get out o my way" said Jim, with
out looking around. The crowd fell
back, leaving n clear space.
"Come, Billy" he said again. but in a
different tone. He saw a madman be-

Eighty-year-old Bridget Null

ago. For seven years before his

Jim's death Bridget dislocated a

The reports that were 50 freely
circulated a little while ago as to
the outrages on citizens Of the
United States and other countries
by the Hawaiian authorities, are
being disapproved from day to day
as the arrival OF authentic news
from the islands is received. Walk.
er, who was reported as driven from
the islands, has arrived at San
Francisco, and denies the report in
toto. He says that he left on a
business trip, on his way to Eng.

from Vancouver to Hawaii. In

and the acts Of the government In
suppression will be known, and

There is no need OF the City
Council putting its future efficien-
cy in pawn by the appointment Of
superannuated drOnes to places
where earnestness, energy, ability,
capability and modern ideas of
business are needed to fill the bill.
Before single recommendation to
office is made by the Mayor let him
consider if the appointment is one
that he would recommend if it was
his own private business that was
to be attended to and not the bust
ness of the city. The Mayor is
neither more nor is he less than
the business manager of the City
of San Antonio and all his methods
should be business methods, just
on the same plan as he would de-
wise and execute for his private af
fairs. Let this be done and there
will be no doubt that the business
of the city will be done in an effec
tual manner, one that will satisfy
the business Of the city.

There is no certainty that the abo
lition OF the libre iona is going to
dissatisfy the majority Of the
jewellers along the borders. Even
the newspapers are not a unit in
denouncing the measure. Certain
it is that the measure that has just
passed Congress will tend greatly
to reduce the operations OF the
smugglers along the border, and
therefore by so much tend to quiet
matters and render the business Of
the sheriffs and the courts much
less laborious.

Never before since Texas was or

there been so general a cry from

pudiatiOn of any measure proposed
in the state legislature as there
now is for the slaughterrof that

damns is condemned indeed. Every

There is enough sound sense in
Texas to save it, but it has got to
get down to business or that saliva
ton may be unfortunately delayed
too long. The business and indus
tries OF the state in the future must
take a stronger grip on the situa.
ton and make themselves felt in
the selection Of proper state legis.
lators, or there will be no salvation
for them after a while. The great
est menace to the Industries and
the liberties and the rights of the
citizens Of the state comes today
from the greed, incompetence, par
tisanship and political shystering
of the legislative bodies. The
LIGHT believes that the present
legislature has in it as able men
and as good men and as pure men
as the state affords, but these men
are not in the majority, by a very
long shot. Perhaps the legislature
as whole is superior to some of it's
immediate predecessors, but that
is not saying much and it does not
obviate the need Of much greater
care in selecting Legislative timber.
That every member of the legisla-
ture will be competent is not ex.
pected, but brains should be in the
ascendant.

The outlines OF a new scheme for
currency is drawn up, and its key
note is silver, and only silver, and

and silver continually is all right,
but not silver only. The currency
to which this country will even
tually come will be one based on
coequal relations of both gold and
silver. There is no more doubt OF
this than Of any other accepted
fact, but when the adjustment is

educating the east in this matter,
