OTHE prettiest lighthouse in Cali
fornia is the one on the southern
end of Mare Island. Nature has
II done her best in the way of beau
tful surroundings, and the build
lngs put up by the engineers are harmoni-
Gus In outline. The two women who have
been the keepers of 1t have so improved
the work of the builders that the place
looks like the suburban home of some
prosperous business man. The exact loca-
uon OF the lighthouse is at the meeting of
the waters of San Pablo Bay, Carquinez
Straits and Napa Creek. The lighthouse is
on hillside that faces the south, getting
all the sunshine possible and being well
sheltered from wind and fog.
There was an urgent demand for a
lighthouse on the southern portion of

OF Populists, so-called Democrats and

amount of silver certificates had
been issued, and lowered the rate
of interest on bonds to 3 per cent.
The President had already declared
his purpose to issue 4 per cent or D

was designed to benefit the gov

free coinage of silver, and the Sem

that it increased the Presidents

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

The editor is in receipt OF let
ter from Hon. Thos. G. McRae, in
answer to one written him, in re-
gard to our free mail delivery. Mr..
McRae says, that two years ago he
asked for a free delivery service for
Te1arkana, but owing to the fact
that the department was advised
that the streets were not properly
tagged or the houses numbered,
the request was not granted. he
further states that during last
year he made another effort to get
our city free delivery, but the
same argument of no sidewalks, no
houses numbered, the streets not
properly lighted, caused another
adverse report,
Mr.. McRae is doing his best for
us, in this matter. If our streets
are not labeled and houses properly
numbered, free delivery is impossi'
Bile. But we believe TeXarkana viii
not let so small a matter as this
little work prevent free mail deliv-
cry.
Mr.. McRae closes as follows; Il
have succeeded in opening the case
again, and the Postmaster-Genera.
has asked col. Kelley of your place
20 furnish HIM facts ds to the
streets being tagged and houses
numbered, and should this report
be favorable your city will be put
on the free delivery list, beyond a
doubt.

TEXAS sILVERITEs VICTORIOUS.
One Primary ls Enough for Texas,
Say the 16 to | Democrats.

The Democrats of Texas, that is,
the executive committee, have been
in session at Austin, Texas, and hn-
ished their labOrs yesterday. They
have ordered two conventions, but
one primary. The first convention
to elect delegates to the National
convention, is to be held in Dallas
June %, and the State nominating
convention is to be held III FL
Worth, August l8.
June 9th is set apart as the day
for holding primaries to select dele
gates to both these conventions,
and the committee further ordered
that at this primary election all
voters should be given an opportu-
nifty of voting for either bimetal-
ism at a ratio of l6 to l, or against
it, the ticket to be specifically word
ed, and whichever side wins, that is
to be taken as the dictation OF the
people to their convention repre-
sentation as to what kind of a dele
cation shall be sent to the National
convention and what the complex
ion of the financial plank in the
State platform shall be.
This one primary idea is distinct
ly a silver victory, and is so conced-
ed by every one. The silver men
are as happy as the day is long to-
day and are cheerfully giving the
sound money men the horse laugh.
An address will be issued by the
silver men to the Democracy, con-
graduating them on the victory
thus far won for l6 to l silver.

SLUGGERS DEFEATED!
Law Against Prize Fight
ing Passes Congress.

=
Fltzsimmons and Maher can not
now fight a prize fight in any terri
tory of the United States.
On Wednesday the Catron anti
prize fight bill passed the House,
and yesterday it passed the Sen
ate, and was at once sent to the
President for his signature--it is
no doubt a law by this time. This
law torbids any prize fight, bull
light etc, iu any territory of this
country. With this law on the
statute books, the whole govern
ment authorities, judicial, and il
necessary, military will be invoked
to see that the prize fight is stop
ped.
Dan Stuart has again butted up
against a stump, and if such snags
as Culberson and Clarke could pre-
vent him from pulling of his fghr
in Texas and Arkansas, what can he
expect when the National Congress
of the United States have put down
on his "fstic carnival, as also Old
Mexico has served noticed that they
must not fight in the land of the
montezumaS.
With all of this, we are told that
Daniel is still defiant and says his
carnival will come off Just the same,
and that somewhere near Ell Paso,
Texas. The following is the text of
the law just passed by Congress;
That any person who in any of
the territories or in the District of
Columbia shall voluntarily engage
in a puglliStic encounter between
man and man and fight between a

felony, and upon conviction shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than one
year nor more than five years.
BY the term "pugiistic en-,
counter as used in this bill is meant
any voluntary fight by blows, by
means of fists or otherwise, whether
with or without gloves, between
