Woods Colleges Set the Pace,

Woods Colleges in Scranton, Wilk-
es-Barre and Carbondale, set the pace
for all the commercial schools in this
country. The combined Scholarship,
including the Business, Shorthand and
Normal courses, at the price of one
scholarship, has touched the keynote
of success. 1t is a reciprocal plan
helpful to the institution and a great
bargain to the student. Prof. Wood
is deserving of the great success that
attends his efforts and is entitled to
the business in this part of the State,
as hardly another teacher in the ma
tion would have risked a fortune in
in the equipment and organization of
these three schools.

Among the recently ca otured
counterlelters in Jersey City was one
by the adopted name of William
Brockway, who, being past his three
score and ten years, and boasting a
criminal record covering a period of
forty years, was therefore honored
with the leadership OF the notorious
gang. The fault of his being at large
to day rests upon those controlling
the executive clemencv which is too
frequently shown expert and rich ras-
Gals. Twice before he was in the
hands of the law for expert counter
teltlng. He began upon the first is
sue of government bonds, was arrest
ed, but escaped punishment.
In 1880 he was sentenced for thirty
years for counterfeiting and forging
government bonds, but his sentence
was suspended on condition of his
surrendering his plates and giving the
government valuable information.
In 1883 he was sent to Sing Sing
for five years for forging Morris and
Essex railroad bonds, and after serv.
ing his short sentence he was dis
charged on Aug. 4, 1857. Since then
he has been free.

We are glad to say for the farmers
of this section that the crops are gen.
orally good this season. In fact we
never saw their gardens looking more
promising. Fruit alone can be said
to be below the average yield. But
this scarcity applies only to this sec
ton, as an enormous yield of fruit is
reported in other sections. Surely
the hard d.toillng farmer may well take
time after gathering the bounties of
nature to openly express his thankful.
ness for good crops, &c.

Among the calamities that might
we'll befall us is the threat of individ-
ual coal operators, in their utter de,
moralization, to put one million tons
of their Goa! on the market at So per
ton. The consumer could stand this
in a cold winter and so too no doubt
could the producers of coal. But
this we fear is after all only game
of spasmodic bluff. The output will
be apt to be regulated by the com
bines as usual. The quarrel is only
between themselves, and their capac-
ity for harmony where the profits are
at stake has never yet been fully
measured or understood by consumers
of coal.

Should Take Newspapers.

To the Daily LIGHT:
1t is to the interest of every man
in San Antonio to take a news
paper. The reading of it will pre-
vent his mind from stagnating-
it will sharpen his faculties and
keep him abreast of the march of
events. 1t is also his duty to take
newspaper. His wife and child
rem will be benefited by reading it,
as there 10 no better educator than
newspaper in a family. 1t
unites the functions of the school
master and the preacher. Child
rem, who are found OF reading, are
not apt to take up with evil COM
panions and to form evil habits.
Reading amuses and instructs
them; gives them employment
for their minds, refines their taste
and manners, and inspires them
with disgust for vulgarity and
evil companions and rowdyism.
Every citizen, regardless of his
nationality, should take a paper
that is published in the English
language. Why so? Because Eng
lish is the national language Of
the United States. 1t is also the
official language Of Texas and of
every state in the union. Our
laws and court proceedings are
in the English language, and
it therefore behooves all citizens
to speak and write the English
language. Adopted citizens, who
refuse to acquire the language of
their adopted country, demon
strate by such refusal, their
radical unfitness for American
citizenship. L am in favor of
law making the right to vote do
pendent on the ability to write
and speak the English language,
and the day is near at hand, when
such a law will be placed on the
statutel book. May God hasten
that day, is my prayer. l desire
the unification and home generous
ness of our population. / crave
to see all adopted citizens become
Americans in heart and spirit as
well as in name.
There is no family too poor to
take newspaper. 1t has but to
retrench the bier, the food, and
the fruit, to smaller extent, to
take a newspaper, that will pay
for years subscription in one
month by the useful knowledge
gathered from it. Wives and
children are Of right entitled to a
newspaper to read.

Whatever may or may not re-
suit from cotton planting this sea-
son, it is certain that the farmer
with corn to sell or feed is not
losing money, and that the grazers
are in better shape for paying bust
ness than for many seasons. Wheat
is going into the ground in good
shape in the panhandle, where
copious rains have fallen and the
prospects are for good yield next
season. The failure of cotton will
raise prices so that those who have
to sell will realize better prices
than for some seasons, but it is not
in the nature of things that 10.cert
cotton is going to rule for the
future, and the man with corn
crop inside OF his shoats will be
found strictly in it.

That old liberty bell has a tongue,
and in future years to those who
can interpret its tones it will tell a
tale of patriotic reception and feel
ing, not less noted in the closing
years of the nineteenth century
than in those stirring scenes of the
latter part Of the eighteenth in
which the times that tried mems
souls were making history. Par
ties rise and flourish and die, but
liberty and the love of it lives. 1t
is this love Of liberty that prevents
the consummation of those arbi-
trary measures of reform that are
at present having such run. They
will soon run to their death.

Negro Shot to Death. !.

+ NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 49,
Eugene Vanno, a Negro living
near Manchester, in Coffee county,
was called out from his cabin Mon
day night by crowd Of white men
and shut to death. He was chsrg-
ed with keeping a young white
girl named Daisy Copeland at his
house. The girl is an orphan and
half-witted. 1t is thought that the
intention of the crowd was to whip
Vanno, but that he was defiant
and threatening, and thereby
brought on his death.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1895

The Episcopal convention at
Minneapolis puts itself on record
as favoring the continued living of
two unfortunately married persons
without any recourse, making
their union a hell upon earth. 1t
refuses the marriage of the church
to any divorced person, no matter
for what cause, unless the other
party has been guilty of adultry.
1t is strange how these old ideas
that are at the bottom of so much
misery and infelicity in the world
hang around the skirts of intelli-
gent consideration. There seems
to be no account of the fact taken
that compulsory cohabitation I'M
der the name of marriage is no
more or less than adultry of the
grossest and most disgusting kind.
1t is time that the church and the
state understood the true relations
of sex little better than they do.
