EDITORI A L SMALL SHOT
In trying to force Hancock down the throats
of our people Major Dwyer has broken up the
happy family.
The sovereignty of the nation is lodged in
the voter. Vote like a king even if you live
like a pauper.
Let every wat m-hearted Irishman be cer-
tain he votes against John Hancock the Brit-
ish free-trader.
Guadalupe county statesmanship has at-
tempted to swamp Bexar county. Let us
teach John Ireland a lesson he won’t forget.
Let every exile from Erin remember that
his country was desolated by British free-trade
and give Hancock a punch with his voting
shillalah.
The Hancock democracy are on record in
favor of wanting a prohibitory tariff on Chi-
nese cheap labor but when it comes to ar.
old wool hat; they want it let in free of charge.
Oh Hancock where does your blush come
in!
Wool hats such as our people generally
wear are taxed in tariff 10 cents on the pound
and 35 per cent ad valorem and not one wa.
imported in 1880: hence the government gets
no revenue from wool hats but our people pay
the tax as a bounty to the manufacturers.
Who will attempt to justify such monsterous
injustice. —[Austin Statesman.
This hat business seems to harrow up the
very souls of Hancock and the editor of the
Statesman. As a matter of relief we suggest
that they wear straw hats or stick to their old
caps. Don’t wear any of these outrageous
oppressive monstrous wool hats! Buy a stove
pipe!
The Statesman declares with tears in its
eyes that the tariff has closed out the wool hat
importation. All right we don’t feel bad we
have to pay more for our hat but we get a
good home made article and the money stays
at home.
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.
When some of our good democratic friends
on the democratic ticket come up missing on
the morning after the election let them re-
member just what we say to them now. You
have been sacrificed because Maj. Dwyer and
his co-workers in the Hancock camp insisted
on endorsing John Hancock and making
pack animals out of you to carry Hancock
through instead of letting Hancock
right where the Bexar delegation let him dr< p
at Austin. There need not have been but one
ticket for county officers in the field. The
’ election would have been harmonious inex
pensive and free from bitter disappointments.
You put up your money fcr election expense?
several thousand dollars so it is reported
against the sentiment of this eommunity—
against the best interests of our city and sec-
tion if you fall in the struggle you have no
one to blame but the Hancock committee—-
with Major Dwyer at its head.
CALM DOWN.
Between now and Tuesday morning there
will be considerable excitement over the elec-
tion. It is not whether Wash Jones or Ire-
land is to be governor but who is to be jus-
tice of the peace or animal inspector that our
community is greatly exercised about. But
don’t let your local likes cause you to get ex-
cited.
Calm down take the situation coolly and
rationally* don’t be afraid of the party whip
its as harmless as a straw in the presence of
the determined voter.
Calm down one man is about as good as
another but be careful you take the best one
to honor with your confidence and compli-
ment with your vote.
Calm down our country is too big too
great too patriotic for any set of men to pull
it to pieces.
Calm down or you will feel ashamed of
your excitement after the election is over.
C dm down a cool head and an honest bal-
lot are the attribute* of a sound patriot
POLITICAL FLASHES.
The scratchers are at work.
Has a voter the itch when he scratches his
ticket?
Oh won’t we all be glad when the election
is over.
See that the name of Robt. Wulting is on
your ticket for county clerk.
Sheriff McCall is on the independent ticket;
is as independent as a hog on ice.
Mr. Robert Wulting will make a vigorous
canvass for county clerk and be elected.
Theodore Baldus next district clerk is one
of the most efficient clerks the city ever had.
Our fity is conservative let it be emphatic
against John Hancock and his free trade radi-
calism.
The Hancock business has destroyed the
chances of several good men on the demo-
cratic ticket.
The verdict on Tuesday will be decisive
against the mule candidate for congress —
John Hancock.
Good citizens will display the proper inter-
est in the result of the election by devoting a
good day’s work at the polls.
F. C. Haueisen will make a most efficient
county assessor. Every good citizen should
see to it that Haueisen’s name is on his ticket.
J. B. Lacoste our worthy county treasurer
experiences the liberality of his republican
and independent friends. He has no opposi-
tion.
Hancock announced at Austin that this is
his last venture in politics—but he is prowling
around after Senator Coke’s shoes a’l the
same.
A newspaper that republishes a dirty libel
and knows it to be such is no better than the
author. In fact in the estimation of all hon-
orable men not so good.
No great campaign would be complete with-
out Archie Chevalier telling the democrats
how they should vote. It will be a leng time
before Archie gets his reward.
Martin Locke candidate for county sur-
veyor does not require to be introduced. He
will beat his opponent easily. Martin is res-
pectable enough for our community.
The. Anderson candidate for county attor-
ney is a better prosecutor than hi» opponent
is better fitted for the office and its time we
had a change. Pull Fred Cocke away from
the crib.
The “Times” of our city is the only demo-
cratic newspaper in the state that could be
found low enough to re-publish a dirty libel
on the editor of the Light. It is a Hancock
paper and a disgrace to even Hancock.
Judge Felix Smith has won the reputation
of being an eminently just and honest man
in his official position as probate judge. Judge
Smith will do exact justice and cannot be in-
fluenced to do wrong by any one. This is
the verdict of every lawyer and person that
has had dealings in his court.
Sunday should be devoted to prayerful re-
flection over our temporal as well as spiritual
condition. The welfare of the whole com-
munity embraces the'good of the individual.
The ballot-box holds the fate of all. When
the citizen casts his ballot he should do so
like a king and not like a subject or retainer
of some political ring-master. The independ-
ent ticket affords an escape from political
peonage.
The Jacksonville Fla Times in a recent
issue says : The first number of the OkecSo-
beean has failed to reach the office of the
Times and after waiting nearly seven weeks
we have given it up as an abandoned enter-
prise. Capt. Reech a stock herder from the
lower Brevard ranges who was in Jackson-
ville yesterday brings news that the plucky
journalist is down there and in spite of many
misfortunes will yet succeed. On his way
down his lighter was overset in a squall on
Charhopekissa Creek and his printing office
household goods and all his stores were spilt
into the muddy water. It took him a long
lime to recover his property but he was for-
tunately near his journey’s end. He has fin-
ished his inside pages but the process was a
slow one. as he lost a great deal of type in the
creek. Every time he needs a 3 - em dash or
an exclamation point he has to go out and
dive for it. He left the printing house door
open the other day while he went to dive for
hyphens and the alligators came in and ate up
his baby. They wrought terrible havoc with
the furniture smashing and pi-ing the cases
oversetting and breaking his press and mak-
ing a general wreck of everything. The mis-
fortune disheartened him for a time. Used
up as he was by the trip with no one to help
him. he said it would take him a week to re-
place his losses.
A young man in Detroit who studied medi-
cine and was regarded as an uncommonly
promising student was graduated last spring
from the medical department of the Michigan
university. During his student life he visited
the sick assiduously as an observer and assist-
ant was engaged in many surgical case* and
everywhere demonstrated hi* remarkable
adaptability for the profes»ion. On coming
home from college he one day walked into
his old perceptor’s office and »aid: “I have
traveled with you several year* and seen more
woe than I ever dreamed existed in this world
Now the simple fact is I shall never do it
again. The thought of spending the remainder
of my life surrounded by the wretched miser-
ies of the sick-room and being forever haunted
by the piteous sights an active physician must
encounter is too horrible to be thought of
with anything like indifference or equanimity.
I’ll not do it and there’s an end of the whole
matter.” Remonstrance was useless. He
gave up the results of years of study and is
now hard at work in a manufacturing estab-
lishment learning a new business.
According to a modern Greek legend
quoted by Count de Gubernatis all the trees
except the holm oak decided not to lend their
wood to the crucifixion and when they were
tried broke to pieces. Of the holm oak the
cross was made and the tree is accursed.
The French Academy of Fine Arts has giv-
en its approval to the project of erecting a
statue to Claude Lorraine at Nancy. The
present year is the bi-centenary of his death.
