The action OF the New York DEM
aeratic convention last Monday vir-
tually named the nominee OF the
party this year for president.
From this time henceforward, s.
the LIGHT sees it, instructions
will be almost unanimous for Judge
Alton B. Parker.
There is little, If any hope, for
Mr.. Hearst or any other man men
toned in connertion with the demo-
cratic nomination. The momentum
given to the cadidacy of Judge Par
ker by his state convention will be
such as to compel the recognition
of him asI not only the strongest
man in the contest, but as the logic
al candidate of his party.
The platform adopted by the New
York state convention can be taken
as an authoritative expression of
the views of the man instructed for,
and the acquiesence of Tammany in
giving positive instructions and
placing the delegation under the
unit rule is evidence to the party at
large that theNew York democracy
is united and aggressive.
No such opportunity has been of
fered the democracy to win since the
third nomination of Grover Cleve-
land. 1t would be the veriest folly
to throw away this opportunity.
Objection has been urged to Judge
Parker on the ground that he is en-
dorsed by Grover Cleveland. This
argument is not sound. The demo-
cracy should be glad that Mr.. Cleve-
land has at last come to recognize
the majesty and supremacy of the
party that has so often honored
him, and that he is willing to join
efforts with it in redeeming the coun-
try from the blight of republicanism
as represented in President Roosa-
welt. 1t were just as well to swear
eternal celibacy because Mr.. Cleve-
land has described the marriage re-
lation as lone grand, sweet song"
as to declare against the candidacy
of man because endorsed by the
sage of Buzzard's Bay.
Let the democracy of Texas follow
the lead of New York and instruct
for Parker.

THAT Katy has just issued it's
cotton statement for the season be-
ginning September l, 1903 and end.
ing April ,, 1904. The statement
shows the movement of cotton from
each station on its line, and as usual
Waxahachie shows up as the lead
ing interior cotton market of the
state. The movementIover all lines
from this city is: Bales shipped
"a OBS; bales on hand, $500; bales
IN sigat, 40; making grand total of
26,87S. The grand total from Hills.
boro was I6,06l, from Gainesville
II, 342, Cleburne L $50, Greenville
1873, Mckinney 15,0S4, Waco 49,
439. Waxahachie still maintains
her lead as the cotton center of the
south, and Ellis county produces
just as much of other things as the
other counties named. You Just
can't get around the fact that this is
the garden spot of the world. We
have more of everything good, make
more of everything that can be pro-
duced in the south, and have more
good people THANH any equal area on
earth. No wonder we are called the
salt of the earth.

Sixth Congressional District.

The Democratic convention of the sixth

what AR. aarrett Stands For.

The Republican national platform favora
reduction of the representatives in Congress
and the electoral vote of the Southern States,
which have by constitutional provision elimi
mated large part of the negro vote. The Re-
publican press and orators are more bold than
the Republican platform in proclaiming their
purpose to make the reduction.
Mr. Garrett, the Republican candidate for
Congress in this district, was nominated on
platform endorsing the national platform, ana
accepted the nomination with full knowledge
of its declarations He is, therefore, com.
mitted to a reduction of the representation in
Congress from the South and of the electora
votes of the Southern States.
VIII any Democrat vote for a candidate for
Congress upon such a platform?
Mr. Garrett believes in a high protective
tariff-a tariff that fosters trusts, which have
grown strong enough to crush labor unions
and fix the price of labor to suit themselves
a tariff that enables the few to lay the many
under tribute.
Will any Democrat vote for candidate
holding to such doctrine?
Mr. Garrett is pledged to support the ship
subsidy scheme which provides for taking
money out of the United States treasury to
give to the ship trust.
Does any Democrat favor such a scheme
Mr. Garrett was nominated upon t. platform
that endorses the acts of the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations and promises a
continuation of the same. This means that
Mr.. Garrett fayors the holding of unwilling
peoples as subjects; torcble expansion OF ter,
ritorv; imperialism and a colonial policy; the
support given a clique in Panama, who set up
a separate government; intermeddling IN for
eign policies and politics; tie maintenance Of
large army in time Of peace, and continual
expansion of the navy until all powers are
outsirpped; in short he endorses all that has
been done by the Republican party for the
past seven years and favors continuation of
its policies and practices.
Win any Democrat vote for Mr.. GARRETT
viii any peace.loviug, conservative or bus
mess man vote for Roosevelt, to continue his
usupztiou OF power, his big stick policy, his
inclination to intermeddle in foreign coniro.

REGARDED DANGEROUS,
Europeans DO Not Like Roosevelt's
Aggressiveness.
From the Baltimore sun, Sept. "A.


Mr.. Henry E. Shepherd, the well known
educator, returned home Wednesday on the
North German Lloyd steamship Braudenburg,
after spending several months in travel and
study abroad, visiting Germany, France, Swift
zerland and Italy,
Through the courtesy of personal aeguaint-
ances and through letters of introduction from
distinguished men in this country to scholars
and men of letters abroad he enjoyed eXcep-
tional advantages for the observation of the
trend of thought and Of events of the Cont
nent. He was greatly impressed, he said yes
terday by the keen and intelligent interest
taken by the most cultured Europeans in
American affairs, and especially in the APP
preaching Presidential election
MR.. ROOSEVELT FEARED.
On every side, be said, the possibility OF the
election of President Roosevelt was viewed
with the gravest apprehension; first, because
of the action of the Government in the Pan
anna. Colombia affair last November. and, sec
ondly, because it is believed that Mr.. Roose
velt's continuance in power would be a men
ace TO the worlds peace, to the commercial
and political peace of the nations and would
eventually involve the United States IN war
with one or more of the foreign powers.
The action of the United States in the Col
ombia affair, Mr.. Shepherd said. in bringing
about the revolt in Colombia is looked upon
as a gross breach of faith and a specific viola
ton Of the Treaty of 1916. A prominent pro-
lessor in the University of Geneva. SwiIzer-
land. said to me: I'VE were disappointed.
We expected something better Of the United
States Government
Il do not think that anything thai has ever
occurred in our history, continued Mr.. Shep
herd, has so lowered the Government OF the
United States in the estimation of Europeans
of culture as the Panama affair Aud this
impression, found, was universally difused
among the sympalhisers Of Mr.. Roosevelt aud
his party, as well as those OF opposite opIu.
ions. II was looked upon sort OF moral
decadence.
II found that the impression prevailed on
the Continent did not 90 TO Great Britain,

his policy, owing to his aggressive character,
would be menace to the peace OF the world.
