and unlimited coinage of newspaper
paragraphs.
Daily Express: The unanimity with
which the big Chieftains" of the
Bexar Democracy absent themselves
from the Democratic state conven-
tons is generally remarked.
The fact that the Democracy of this
senatorial district is sticking to free
trade is all that the people want to
know to insure the election of a good
Republican'to succeed Senator Lewis.
While presiding over the delibera-
| tons of the Mexican Democracy at
Austin, Judge Walling Chief Nat
chez must have been reminded of the
good old days on the reservation at
,, Pleasanton. Ll
Gus Houston declines to go TO Chi
cago as delegate of the sound money
Democracy. Gus hasn't had much
use for politics since he crawled out
from under that NoOnan snow bank
two years ago.
Perry Lewis says he's a gold man,
yet he declines TO affiliate with that
| branch of the Democratic party which
reflects his views. The trouble is that
it doesn't represent enough Demo,
cratic votes and Perry is not in poll
tics strictly for his health.
If Kelso should finally refuse, that
| Democratic nomination for congress,
there is not much likelihood of Yer
nor, or Onion or Perry Lewis being
put UP IN his stead. Even the Demo
Ncrats know better than TO pit spar
row against the Republican eagle.
Frank Bushick and Carlos Bee seem
to have stirred up all that ruction in
the Twelfth congressional district
Democratic caucus at Austin. Isn't it
about time the bosses of the DemOc-
racy held pow.wow with these
youngsters and disciplined them?
Another proof that the Democrats
are still sticking to the free trade
heresy is the fact that they turned
down Slayden, and the Democratic
fake, called incidental protectionist,
| to make room for Tom Paschal, the
free trade ex-congressman, as dele
gate to Chicago.
1t is now said that Perry Lewis or
some of the other gold bugs put up a
| job on KelsO and induced him to re-
fuse that nomination by only showing
him the worst part of that objec-
tional platform. If Kelso can be fool
ed that easy, what would they do to
him in Washington?
In sending Free Trader Paschal as
a delegate to the national convention,
in the face of the fact that he voted
for free wool in congress, the Democ-
racy of the 18th congressional district
seems to be doing all it can this year
to make Judge Noonan's reelection to
congress an easier matter than it was
the first time.

ANGLING NOTES.

Messrs. Veith and Epstein made a
nice catch of black bass on the
grounds of the San Antonio Gun Club
last Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. Charles Hummel reports that he
caught 41a-pound channel cat in the
river with spoon. This is remark
able, since the writer has never heard
of a catfish striking a spoon. If any
of expert anglers know of a case
similar to that of Mr.. HummePs the
Light would be glad to publish same
for the benefit of its angling friends.
Lake Elmendorf, an artificial body
of water, now teeming with black
bass, stands as evidence of what can
be done by protecting our inland
streams and lakes. To the honorable
mayor who stocked the lake, and to
the San Antonio Gun Club who have
kept same policed and patroled, is due
the credit of having an anglers para
disc within but two miles of the cen
ter Of the city. Let the good work go
on.
A party of Dallasites left for the
coast last Friday to try their hand at
tarpon fishing.
'Tis said that, previous to last Sun
day, August Biesenback, one of our
expert anglers, was not guilty of being
superstitious. Things have changed
since then, and the Lights angler is
responsible for Augustus conversion.
1t seems, long before sunrise last Sun
day morning, August, with fine new
$40 steel rod, rugged up with the best
of tackle and his hook adorned with a
bright shining minnow for bait, was
trying to allure some of the finny tribe
|, to bite, but with no success. The
Light man, on the contrary, who was
FLOWING him up, and casting into the
same places which August had given
up as blank, would occasionally land
a fine bass. These proceedings be-
came aggravating and somewhat mo-
notonous to Mr.. B., and he asked the
Light man, with a feeling of great
concern, why it was that the Light
man could catch fish, while he, with
the identical same tackle, was unable
to get strike. Thereupon the Light
man rose in his might, and with feel
ing of great Importance told August
to advance to his station. and with a
few strokes of his hand and the words
''hokos pokus," dismissed Mr.. b. and
told him to cast his line in a certain
place near by. Hardly had his min
now struck the water when a bass
weighing no less than three pounds
took his bait and hooked, himself"

A Man Of the People.

The scenes OF enthusiasm at
Canton simply reflect the general
feeling Of the American people,
East and West, North and South,
over the nomination of Major Nc
kinney.
Modest and unassuming under
all circumstances, never inflated by
pride or pulled up by the worldwide
appreciation of his eminent quail
ties as citizen, as q statesman
and as an American, Major Nc.
Kinley cannot but be deeply
moved and deeply gratiffed by
these spontaneous and unparalleled
tributes Of nations esteem, and
especially Of the love and devotion
OF his neighbors who have known
him from childhood up 10 the
present crown Of a patriotic and
admirable career.
The opinion of neighbors is a
pretty fair guide, as rule, to the
worth Of any man, and there could
be no stronger testimony to tn e
worth Of William Mckinley than
that Canton loves him and Ohio
loves him.
The kilograms and other mes.
sages which have poured In upon
Major Mckinley speak for the head
and the heart of the nation, and
there can be no doubt that he
will be elected by a majority in
November that will prove that the
republican convention at st. Louis
rightly interpreted the wishes and
the choice Of the American people,
Major McKinley's replies to his

still under all circumstances the

and true to the interests of our

drops Of rain fell, which cracked
family on touching the ground.
From each Of them sparks darted
toward the walls, trees and soil
they fell upon. The phenomenon
lasted several seconds, and ap-
pearenly ceased when the air be-
