A taiitml grand Jury Is a burlesque on
justice "Snuco for the gander ought to
be eauco for the goose" nlso. Why was
not the Express Indicted ?
GoVERxoit Ireland Is a "dead cock In
the pit" and an Inquest might as wcllbo
held. Not a slnglo fence cutter will voto
for Mm and that "cooks his goose."

Tim wool growers of Texas want tho
duties of 1SC7 on foreign wool restored
but the Democrats are bent on frco trade

Texas wool growers will vote acoordlng

Kvi:iiy fence cutter has engraved on
his memory tho declaration of Oovernor
Ireland In his speech to the convention
of stockmen at Austin that he would
pardon any person who might kill a fenco
cutter and ho Is not going to vote for
John Ireland.
Tile Galveston Xews seems likely to
out live the wrath and proscription of
Governor Ireland and tho efforts of tho
Houston Post to wipe it out. It Is ahard
matter to "kill off" a newspaper which
possesses vim and go-aheadltlvcncss.
Indictments for libel oven can't kill off
such a paper.

ment; they don't know about tho strengt li
of tho pesky fenco cutters. Nobody will
be hurt by a new pack a new shullle a
new cut a new deal and fresh hands. At
any rate that Is the eentlutent of farmers
and working men and they mean to
havo a "linger In the plo" this time.
Tub Austin county Times denounces
the pardon of Major AVasson by the
President but It has never had time to
observe that Governor Ireland wna run
ning the pardon mill day and night under

of all men who set store by the freedom
of the press and the Light calls on lov-
ers of tho freedom of tho press to send
forward their Bubscrlntlons and nrfvpr-
ttsements. That Is tho only way to back
up a newspaper which Is sought to bo
gaggeu muzzled and terrorized by
secret and Irresponsible bodv. audi ns l

unucr me veil or secrecy and mystery.

Ho Is not damaged thereby.
As tub Light does not care to do
things by halves It purposes to extract
some of the superfluous self-concolt and
egotism out or Mr. Illchard Nelson
whose letter was published out of cour
tesy a few days ago simply because it
professed to be a reply to one of the cdl
torlals of the Light. As Mr. Nelson
himself runs a newspaper his proper
course would have been to havo replied
through tho columns of his own paper
and not to have levied a tax upon tho
space of the Light. Mr. Nelson la thn
editor of a newspaper and sets himself
up as the leader of the negroes In Texas
anu complains 01 me injustice shown his
race In not putting negroes In ollloe and
for these reasons We shall treat him i
renresentatlvn of his men In nolnt nf In
tellleenco and nuallflcatlons for office
and show thai even he himself Is unfit
to flu any considerable publlo office
It should be filled. Tubllo offices
created not to provide places for parti
zans competent or Incompetent not to
servo as hospitals and asylumns for po
litical paupers and imbeciles where they
can be supported at tho publlo expense;
but they are created for tho publlo benq-
llt for the dispatch of business In which
tho pcoplo are interested consequently
putting notoriously Incompetent men In
ofllco Is n fraud and an Insult to tho pub-
lic. Mr. Nelson's own letter shows him
to be a sorehead and to be offended be-
cause ha Is not put In office a fact which
demonstrates that ho loves' ofllco much
more than Itcpubllcan principles. The
concluding portion of his Icllcr secniB to
have been Intended as an Intimation to
the Democrats that Mr Illchard Nelson
Is anxious to sell out to them for nn
office and wo hopo they will
throw htm a sop and lnko him into their
fold. Itepubllcans will be strengthened
by getting rid of iiieti white and black
who merely act with tho party for tho
hopo of obtaining olllco and pout and
sulk when they full torecelvo n lent.
Camp followers and mercenaries weaken
nny party. Tho Light hopes Mr. itlch-
nrd Nelson will succeed In cfl'ecttiig n
trade with tho Democrats and will for-
mally take leave of tho Itcpubllcan par
ty as ho has plainly shown that If ho
docs not get office ho Is not to bo counted
upon ns n Itcpubllcan and Jicpuullcans
of that mercenary kind lire less harmful
when they Join tho Democrats. The
letter of Mr. Illchard Nelson npart from
Its undisguised exhibition of luercenarl-
ncss and sorehcadlsin might hnvo been
composed by a 10 year old white boy
yet Its author sets himself up ns n leader
and representative of the negro race
and complains that his race docs not re-
ceive n largo enough slice of the publlo
offices. As wo havo said no Incompc-
ent person of nny raco should bo placed
In office for the reason that every office
Is for tho public bcnellt and It concerns
tho publlo to have Its duties properly
performed Just ns we chooso tho best
carpenter shoemaker blacksmith etc.
tn private matters. Men are not born
ready qualified for office nor nro they
wise by Intuition nor Inspiration ns
many negroes evidently supposo to be
tho case. Our public school system is
worse than useless If education is not
nn essential qualification for tho proper
performanco of tho duties of public
office and negroes are wrong to seek to
obtain nn education. The fact Is tho
negroes demanded offico beforo they no
quired a semblance of qualification and
their self-constituted lenders eon
tlnuu to bawl and bellow for
office and to splutter about
being tteatcd unjustly when tho
truth Is they arc without mtnlllloatlon
Let the negroes llrst become qualified to
llll offices and then seek tlicm because
they nro qualified and not merely be-
cause thoy aro negroes. We havo no
Idea that Illchard Nelson himself though
he sets up'for a leader possesses qtiallll-
catlons for an offico of any consequence
or could make rt proper bond In oaso he
was qualified. A majority of educated
white men aro unlit to 1111 public offices
on account of their lack of system
method assiduity and order and yet
they far surpass Itinlianl Nelson and
most of his raco In tho matter of educa
tion and training. Wo speak plainly
and pointedly from a conviction that
the better class ot negroes those who
are honestly and earnestly endeavoring
both to Improve their own condition and
to raise their race to n higher piano of
civilization and dignity will appreciate
our advice and give it duo considera
tion. It Is tlmo enough for a man to as
pire to nny publlo olllco when ho has bc
come qunlllled to discharge its duties
and to aspire to It beforo Is tho climax
of Impudence The negroes will bo
damaged not bencllteil by putting per
sons of their race In olllco who are de-
void of the necessary qualifications and
It behooves them to lay this fact to heart
Iielng In a minority In tho United
States as well ns in all the States ne
grocs should understand that any nt
tempt at drawing tho color line which
some of the self appointed leaders of
ineir own race are prono to attempt
solely to enlmnco their market value
wiien tliey want to sell out must arouse
prejudice against them anil postpone the
nine wnen pcneci liar nonv win re irn
between the two races and unity of In
terest will prevail. Negroes should
avoid magnifying molo hills Into moun-
tains In tho matter of grievances trust
to the Boftenlnir Influences of time and
strive to Improve in morality and In-
IClllUllCU.
NARROW ESCAPE
Of a Well Known Clllien ot South Easton From a
Horrible Death.
A Journalist whoso inonndfrlngs In search of
news led him Into tho thriving vllhigo of South

Sir. Caleb B. Lotbrop of that place from
