There is not the least assurance
that the elections in Cuba can be
held as determined upon by Cap
tain General Weyler. The move
ments of the insurgents have baf-
fed all of his calculations and
driven his friends in Spain to the
conclusion that he is not more of
a success in corralling the Cuban
patriots than was Campos, while
his proclamations have aroused a
bitterness that Campos never
evoked.

In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr..
Il. A. Mcfarland, a prominent
merchant of Live Oak, Suffer Co.,

was threatened with pneumonia.
His father gave him several large
doses of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough
and cured him. Mr.. Mcfarland

HE CAN BE ELECTED.

When the LIGHT presented kthe
name OF Hon. Gaorge II. Noonsn,
and asserted its belief that he
could be elected to congress over
any democrat in the district, its
uttersnces were accepted by some
with doubt and bysothers as allbit
Of personal pleasantly, designed to
flatter the judge. Subsequent
events justified the prediction Of
the LIGHT and accumulated the
wisdom Of its judgment. 1t again
asserts its belief that If the republi-
cans Of Texas will nominate
George w. Breckenridge as their
candidate for governor, and earn
estly and intelligently rally to his
support, he can and will be elected.
The democrats are irrconcilably
divided; united republicans can
march to certain victory under the
leadership of man like George
w. Breckenridge. In his candi-
dacy there would be nothing to
apologize for, nothing to explain,
nothing to defend. He can be
elected If only the delegates to the
state convention have the wisdom
to nominate him.

Age cannot whittier or custom
state the infinite variety of the
American heirs to fortunes in the
old world. Miss Seibets, Just re-
turns to America after an unsuc-
cessful attempt to cOrrall two or
three fortunes abroad, so impover-
ished that she had to return in the
Storage of a Bremen liner. She
left this country at 81 years of age
to secure a fortune of several mil
lions in Germany and a still larger
one in Great Britain. She had to
serve thirty days in the London
workhouse for persisting in her
declaration that she was a direct
heir to the Temple millions, and
met with but little better treat
ment in Germany. She comes back
to this country for funds to return
and resume her attack upon the
legal powers that hold in custody
the immense fortunes in which
she claims a share. To a grit like
that at that age all things should
be possible.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

The death OF John Ireland takes
from this section Of the state q
man who was held in the highest
esteem for the integrity Of his pri,
vate and official character, and who
broadened so perceptibly in the
closing years Of his long and use
full life that he was at times the
establishment Of the men of his
earlier associations, who had not
with him developed with the de-
velopment of the state. No man
in the state ranked higher in man.
hood quality, none who had more
generous pride in the state that he
SO often and ably served, none who,
particularly in later life, more
tntelligently forecast her newt
BILE greatness. In the forty.three
years Of his life in the state
during which time he was himself
no mean factor in shaping her
destinies, he saw such progress as
to lead him to place the utmost
faith in her illimitable possibili-
ties. These years also endeared
him to a very large circle OF
friends to whom his genial quail.
ties were no less an attraction than
his proverbial honesty OF life and
mind. An uncompromising dem.
Ocrat all his life and the farthest
removed possible from the LIGHT
in his political creed and his politi.
cal affiliations, it is none the less a
pleasure to this journal to record its
appreciation OF his sterling worth
none the less sorrow to
record the taking of such a
man in the full measure OF his
strength and usefulness. Though
past his three score years
he was as vigorous Of mind and a:
warm of heart, and as active O
body and as much the charm Of
the social circle as twenty year,
ago. His death was an affection tt
large circle outside OF his immed
late family, with whom the LIGH,
sincerely sympathizes. His inter
ment will be in the state cemetery
and over his grave the noddinl
trees will bend in benediction Will
their rustling trees will whispe
their eternal requiescst in pace.

The secretary of agri culture has
had hook put in his nose by con-
gress, and his whole corporosity
turned around, to face the music
in congress which is set to the
tune of "your masters, sir" Per-
haps the secretary will not refuse
to obey this mandatory act Of con-
gress, for he finds that body in no
mood to stand any Of his non

MAJOR B, L. CROUCH.


The republican convention of the
Eleventh congressional district
will meet in Rockport tomorrow,
and the LIGHT may be able to tell
its readers tomorrow evening upon
whom the nomination falls. The
two most prominent names men,
toned for the honor OF making the
race on a good republican platform
are G. c. Pierce OF Webb county
and Major Crouch Of Frio county.
The deprecated and we'll nigh
destroyed stock industries OF that
district have brought Major
Crouch into the field. He has been
for years one of the leading stock
men Of Frio county and the iron has
gone down deep into his soul. He
has been a personal victim Of the
ruinous policy Of the democratic
government in its dealings with
cattle and sheep and wool importa-
lions, leaving these great Texas in
dustries to the mercy Of Australian
and South American competitions,
with their free ranges and peon
labor. For the past two or three
years the Major has given per-
sonal study to the subject that SO
closely concerns his own business
interests, and for the past three
months has been In Washington
looking after the interests Of Texas
cattle and sheep growers, endeav-
oring to secure such legislation. at
the hands Of congress as will pre-
vent these great Industries of the
state from being utterly wiped out
and the lands that are now used
for grazing purposes rendered alb
solutely worthless. His life there
was not barren OF results to
himself, and since his return,
as well as while in Washing
ton his friends who know his
abilities, his untiring industry and
his fitness in every way to repre-
sent them in congress, have been
urging him to allow his name to
come before the republican conven-
tion for nomination to the seat
made vacant by the death Of the
late Congressman Grain. The
LIGHT is not unmindful OF the
staunch republicanism Of the legal
gentleman from Webb county,who
aspires to the nomination, and if
nominated, the LIGHT will give
him its hearty support. But in
view of all the facts and of the
great industries involved, and the
relation OF Major Crouch thereto,
and his special fitness to represent
these industries, 1t does seem that
his nomination at this time would
be peculiarly wise and fitting.
