The Southern States for Febru-
airy contains a very readable arti-
Gle on Southern Texas, particularly
that portion of it traversed by the
lines of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass lines. Considerable
space is devoted to the fishing and
hunting advantages of the bay
region, but the consideration of
the soils and natural adaptive
ness Of the country to fruits and
vegetables and vines is by no
means lost sight Of. The article is
semi-statistical and is a good adj
vertisement for the road and for
the section through which it runs,
as well. 1t will be found good
article to mail abroad.

Dudley will have no inconsider-
able following from the mere fact
that he is the real head OF the
democratic party in Texas. No
end OF those who repudiate his &C.
tions and are not in sympathy
with him in calling his primaries,
will acquiesce in that call and act
accordingly because he is the I'M
disputed head of the state execu-
tive committee. There is that in
the authority that he exercises
which will make the conservative
democrat pause before he openly
revolts against 1t. While this is
true, 1t is equally evident that
others more. Independent In action
will refuse to come under a yoke
so evidently forged without consent
OF its expected wesrers. Out Of
this will come that division that is
the supreme opportunity of the
republican opposition, but which
they cannot possibly take advan-
tage, Of being themselves as hope
lessly at discord as the state
democracy itself.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY "a, ,!

Cuba's fight is likely to be trans
ferred to the halls of United States
legislation. There is a very strong
feeling, continually growing strong
er,that the expression Of sympathy
with the belligerents is not all
that this country should give
those who are struggling so heroic
ally for their independence. The
debates in the senate are by no
means equivocal, and direct argu-
ments in favor Of recognition are
made by those who are ready for
war with Spain If need be as the
result. In case of this kind,
where sympathy and humanity
are on one side and all the tradi-
tions Of the people and the usages
of nations and the consistency
of national action, are on the
other, it is not an easy thing
to determine, but as nations and
governments seldom err on the
side of their sympathies, being
more prone to decide according to
their interests, perhaps there is
less danger in the first than the
last. In any event, any interposi-
tion that this government can
make to mitigate the horrors OF
that strife should not be withheld
on mere diplomatic grounds. There
is a duty that this government
owes to republican principles and
humanity that outweighs her
sense Of International courtesy.

POLITICAL BOSSES.


convention is the candidate OF the
LIGHT. Republican from princi-
pie and not for either honor or pie,
content in the future as in the
past to labor for the interest of the
party, in so far as is possible in
the midst of the treachery every
where apparent, the LIGHT has no
favorite son to advocate. 1t is
committed to such criticism up
on men and measures as in its
Judgment is fair and necessary.
1t views with alarm the efforts of
two or three politicians to bend
matters toward their candidate
looking to the future for that
reward in the way of place
for which they are laboring so as
siduously. Political ambition is
all right, if rightly directed and
legitimately employed, but it is
all wrong when it is used to sub
vert the wishes of the republican
voters Of any precinct or county
or district, and compel action that
is contrary to their instructions.
This is unfortunately the case in
several districts of this state, not
to go outside of Texas lines. The
expressed will Of the counties, as
conveyed in their instructions to
their delegates to the con-
ventions, have been set aside
and the real wishes of the ma
jority of the sections subverted
to serve the ends of those who
have undertaken to carry the con-
ventions for Isome special candi-
date. 1t is not one following alone
that is guilty of this dishonesty
In action, bat all. The result will
be divisions, heartburnings, OLSEN
sion, discord and ruptures without
end il the thing is carried to the
extreme that lis now threatened.
1t may be true that a man must
descend into the mud Of political
scrambling in order to secure q
nomination to the presidency Of
this republic, but it is not at
all creditable to the good sense or
the purity Of the people, poll
tically considered, that this
is so. The idea that the end justi.
fies the means, in securing any
thing Of political character, has
been run into the ground in this
country, and it will be necessary
for some reform to take place or the
whole machinery Of political action
will fall into deserved disrepute.
Year by year it is growing more
and more difficult for respectable,
high-minded, honorable men to
take part in politics and preserve
their respect. Let this continue a
decade or two longer and the
country will be handed over
to the corruptions of those
who, with money at hand
and no scruples Of conscience
as to the methods of its employ
ment, openly buy their majorities
and stock the conventions with
their creatures. When that day
comes, and it is coming fast, then
the republic may look we'll to its
foundation. In a government Of
the people in name it Is not wise to
shut out the people from the exer-
else OF their political functions by
making political associations to cor
rupt for tolerance. 1t has always
been held by republicans that these
corruptions were largely confined
to the democratic party, but un
fortunately that assertion no longer
holds good, north or south, east or

THEY MUST NOT GEORGE
OPINION BY UNITED STATES JUDGE
CALDWELL OF CIRCUIT COURT.
Interference with the Fundamental
Right of Citizenship Would BE
High Crime.

Omaha, Oct. 2O.-A local paper recently
queried Judge Caldwell. of the United
states circuit court, regarding the alleged
coercion Of employees of corporations I'M
der federal court receiverships, as fol-
lows:
Would you order an investigation
made Of a complaint that discharge has
been made for political reasons?"
Judge Caldwelrs answer was received
today, and is as follows:
1T will not be necessary for employees
of corporations under federal receiver
ships over which I have any control to
vote for Mckinley or for any other candi-
date in order to hold their places.
would order an investigation Of COM
plant that an employee of the court had
been discharged for political reasons, and
if the complaint, upon investigation ap-
peared to be well founded, would order
the dismissal of any receiver. general
manager or other officer or employee of
the court having anything to do with dis
charging or threatening to discharge en-
ployes for political reasons, and it would
be sufficient ground for removing any Ie-
ceiver or general manager if had reason
to believe that such unlawful coercion
was being practiced or threatened by any
of their subordinate officers or employees.
and they took no step to investigate sad
suppress IL. tig
THE foundation stone of the republic
is the free suffrage of it's citizens. 1t IS
the constitutional right of every legal
voter to vote as he chooses. Any inter-
ference with his fundamental right of cit
izenship by a court would be a high crime
deserving impeachment, and any employee
of the court who attempts to coerce other
employees of the court to vote otherwise
than according to their own judgment
and free choice by threats of dischargiag
them from the service of the court, or by
the use of any other Illegal means, would
merit and would receive dismissal from
the service of the court. and without re-
gard to his rank or position.

GOLD MEN UNITE WITH PoPUusTs.
Idaho McKfnIeyites working to De-
feat Dubois.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 2O.-Word was re-
ceived from Frank Riblett of Cassia
county today that instructions have been
received from the McKinleyite headQuar-
ters for their followers to vote the demo-
populist legislative ticket. This was hard
ly d surprise, for it is understood the
same move is being quietly made in each
county in the state. 1t was started when
Frank Fem, chief clerk of the land
board, who is off on leave of absence
under state authority. succeeded in bring
ing about fusion with McKinleyites and
populists in Washington county. The
McKinleyites openly state that they
would rather see a populist. elected to the
senate than have Dubois returned. Sim
liar information to that from Cassia
comes from five or six other counties.
w e. Borah received word that his
mother was better, and did not go east
Bartlett SsncIair's statement.
Boise, Idaho, Oct. 20.-A message from
Bartlett Sinclair states that suit has
been brought in Kootenay county to re-
strain the auditor from printing the sill
yer republican and electoral democratic
tickets on the official ballots.
A similar move has been made in Ban
mock county. The motive for these suits
is we'll understood here The question of
their legality was settled when Secretary
of State Garrett took the full five days
authorized by law before certifying them
down to the county auditors, and gave
all ample opportunity to bring suit There
was great excitement then, but no suit
was brought. The purpose in bringing
these suits in the several counties is to
cast doubt upon the tickets and make
people believe their votes for Bryan on
the silver republican and electors of the
democratic tickets will not be counted.
The attorney general and other prominent
lawyers now agree absolutely that there
is no question about the legality of these
tickets.

Mr.. BOOTH TUCKER is A PLEADER.
Anxious TO Have the Armenian I'M
migrants Landed.

New York, Oct 2O-Commander Booth
Tucker appeared before the board OF in
Quiry at Ellis island today to plead Cor
the admission of the 157 Armenians de-
tanned there pending a decision as to
their desirability as immigrants.
DR.. Senner defined the position of the
government in the matter as follows:
Some days ago General Booth-TuclSer
and Rev. Mr.. Greene of the Armenian
relief fund and a representative of the
Christian Herald appeared before me in
the interest of the Armenians that were
expected to arrive. 1 told them our po-
sition 1t is this; We can not allow
these people to come here and compete
with our American workmen l explained
that we don't know any Armenians or
any other class. All people come here
as immigrants. and as they arrive we de-
eide as to their merits as individuals.
and not as a class.
IF they are eligible, then they will be
admitted the same as any other desirable
person. Before we can admit these peo-
pie that the Salvationists and other PM
lanthropic organizations want landed We
must have some substantial guarantee
in the shape of bonds that Che immi-
grants so admitted will not become q
charge of the country, and not general
promises that they will not become pub
lie charges.
1.-THE workmen of Massachusetts have
complained much about the immigrants
from Armenia during the past few years.
1t is claimed that they have lowered
the standard of wages in some industries,
and especially in the shoe trade. Some
manufacturers, they say, have even gone
so far as to employ none but Armeni-
ans. The question of Armenian immi-
grants mus. not be considered exclusive
" as the stated point of sentimental
sympathy. Due consideration of Ameri-
can interests must be taken into ac-
count"

unequivocally for the single gold STAN
