holds as true. The sermon is a
plea for keeping hands an d

more loving, tender, true, charita-

all who incline to accept them.
That those who cannot accept
these aids to betterness be allowed
to grow TO their BITTERNESS in their

be accepted, that in being wise for
yourself, it is not necessary to try

POLITICS FROM BEEVILLE.
To the Daily LIGHT:

To the Daily LIGHT:
BEEvILLE, Tex, March 13.-The
word which is being passed along
the republican line in this congress
sional district just now, is cheer up
boys, cheer up! Victory is in sight.
Not for many long years has the
congressional plum hung Just over
on the republican side OF the fence,
| but it is there now, and the limb
hangs low, inviting like. Follow
| ing upon the heels of demoraliZa-
ton of the democratic party comes
blunder after blunder, and it Is
now plain to be seen that in the
selection of a candidate for this
office which they propose to do in
Corpus Christi in a few days, the
arch blunder OF all will occur. The
free trade serpent's back will be
minus one joint at least, and the
gates thrown wide open for the
republican party to march straight
through to victory in this district.
The republican convention which
has been called to meet at Rock
port on the 18th, will doubtless
have full attendance of delegates,
and in the wisdom OF the able lead.
ers, there certainly will be selec-
ton made that will meet the hearty
approval OF the party, and one that
will still further cast a muddy
vapor over the democratic campin
this, the eleventh congressional.
Col. Grass, of Corpus Christi, is
prominently mentioned as mighty
good timber, He is a man ofsterl-
ing qualities and having a host OF
strong friends among all classes,
especially republicans; and then
his views on the financial question
doubtless come nearer meeting
the requirements OF the masses
than do any of those candidates
most prominently put forth by the
democratic party and he is sound
on the tariff. This latter problem.
in the shape democrats put it, Just
now, is somewhat perplexing to
some OF the wiser heads. From re.
cent open expression with refer
ence to protective tariff, as applied
to the importation OF Mexican cat,
tie into Texas, at least majority
OF erstwhile democrats may be
counted on to fight under the re-
publican flag this campaign. To
be pointed, it may be said that
the outlook for democratic success
comes up dark from the southwest.
DIR. d. M. Thurston, the chair,
man Of this county, will appoint.
perhaps, two delegates for the
Rockport convention.

The Sewer Money.

To the Daily LIGHT,
The taxpayers of San Antonio,
with singular unanimity voted an
issue of 100000 in bonds to build a
sewer system. The Hindry con-
tract was let for 1891, 2O945; the
contract for the outlet sewer was
awarded to Katz, Crandall &
Katz for the sum of $9S, 5S5. 10,
making a total outlay for con-
struction Of $429,794.5S. Add to
this sum, say $4,000 for cost OF
sewer farm, right-of-way, legiti-
mate extras and necessary in
cidentals, and we have a total Of
$l54,794.5S. Subtract this $751;
794.5S from the original 100000,
and there should remain in the
sewer fund, after setting aside a
sufficient amount to pay all pend
ing contracts, the sum of $40, 2O6.42.
Now, what has become OF this $45,-
206.42? Alderman Beckmsnn is
credited with the statement that
after meeting all liabilities for con-
struction, there will remain a sur
plus of from $l4, 900 to $4,000. AS.
Stunning Alderman Beckmann's es-
innate to be correct and giving the
administration the benefit Of the
highest sum named, would it be
impertinent or Irrelevant to ask
what has become Of the remaining
500, 2O6.42, the difference between
$40, 206.42 and $4,000? Yet it is by
no means assured that Alderman
Bcekmann is correct in his esti-
mates, for it has openly been stated
in the council that it may be-
come necessary to reduce the
mileage Of mains, lop off some of
the inside work and adopt a gen.
eral change in the plans for the
building OF some seventy-five miles
OF sewerage, on the alleged ground
that "the money will not hold
out" Now, il such a condition
threatens, what has become of that
$40, 2O6.42? This is a pertinent
and should be answered.
Surely, Mr.. Pancoast's bicycle can
not have digested that amount of
provender within the short space |
Of twelve or fifteen months. Let |
US have a detailed and specific
statement Of every penny of the
drawn on the sewer
fund. INQUIRER.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Any one leaving San Antonio for
West End will see more new build
ings in all stages of progress than
in any other direction. A new
building on Virginia avenue is
about finished, and the Methodist
parsonage will be begun in about
a week.
The ECHOES" are written today,
March -, with a non-quivering
pen, although it may be useless to
tell the world through the LIGHT
that the Literary society will have
a debate tonight and that at Pro-
fessor Peacock's another entertain
ment will be given to aid the
Methodist parsonage, for if Per-
rine's 9O0,OO0,O00 miles of comet
are going to knock us into smith
Greens tomorrow there will be no
more "Echoes from West End"
and the erring astronomical
cranks, juggling christian scien-
fists, soothsayers, palmists and
common diversified liars will
be on top for once, but
will no longer be able to
foretell coming events to any
body hereafter, But in spite of
danger ahead" Echoes will men,
ton that next month Bishop For
est will authorize the beginning
of Catholic church and orphan
age at West End, and a church
more or less, in our suburb, shall
not interfere with Perrine's comet.
The most of our people, and it is
to be hoped that all of them, will
extend true Christian welcome
to all newcomers who live among
us, and certain it is that any sol
dier who had any friend during
the late war, either on the northern
or southern side, in any hospital,
and saw the black rObed Sister of
Charity in her work of mercy, will
always welcome her on any spot OF
the earth, be he Jew or Gentle,
Turk or pagan, Christian or infidel,
II he has not altogether changed
into an intOlerant fanatic. Not,
everybody was born in the faith OF
the great reformer, Martin Luther,
Of whose creed, echo" lovingly

lie who loves not wine, wife or song.

And this religion, while too good
for a prohibitionist is none
too good for all fair minded men,
who can extend heartily welcome
to all believers whose "brother-
hood of man" covers all churches,
all sects, all religions and allows
them to hearty welcome all work
ers in the Lords vineyard, without
paying too much attention to what
particular vines they give their
preference.

What wisdom is there in trying
to unsettle the mind or heart in
anything that comforts it? What
is belief any way, but a conception
Of the mind? What are it's uses but
to aid the possesser OF it to be and
do the best OF which he is capable.
Belief is only means to an end at
best, not an end. What do you
know Of the needs of others, that
you take away their staff upon
which they lean? What do you
know Of the truth more than they,
that you rob them Of what to them
is truth that they may take in it's
stead what you accept as truth?
This is the hight OF foolishness,
and it is as hurtful as it is foolish.
Better strengthen the knees that
tremble, to stand fast in whatever
makes their life purer, cleaner,
sweeter, truer, more helpful. The
true mission is to bind up broken
hearts, whether by belief or non
belief.
