IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
The Immigration convention called
to meet at Dallag one week from today
seems to have attracted very little at.
tention In southern Texas. Northern
and eastern Texas have taken consid-
erable stock In the matter. The Dalias.
Fort Worth and Waco Journals are tak-
ing an active b terest In calling atten-
tion to the objects of the convention
and In stirring up localities boards of
trade alliances and municipalities to
send delegates that all sections of the
state may be thoroughly represented.
Waco bas organized what is very ap-
propriately named “An Immigration
Association’’ and bas sent out a circu-
lar letter asking the attendance and co-
operation ot the several sections of the
state in the matter. There is no inten-
tion of leaving south Texas out In the
cold and only herself will be to blame If
she is not fully represented. Tne fol-
lowing among other documents bear-
ing upon tbls subject bas reached
this office. Thia one Is from the secre-
tary of the Waco Immigration associa-
tion :
"We have sent letters to the mayors of
cities and county judges In South Texas re-
questing them to participate in the Immigra-
tion move ent in North Texas It Is to our in.
terest to have South Texas as fully repre-
sented as possible at the Dallas Immigration
Convention and we want beadquarters of
the state organization located as far south as
poseib e We hope you will come to Dallas to
represent your county and organize your
people to get the benefits of It as much as
possible "
No more Important movement than
this bas been made In the state not-
withstanding some of the old fogies see
no need for an increase of Immigration
Into o .r borders. This Dallas convention
Is In the direct line of the ostensible and
avowed eßirts of our Local Improve-
ment Committee and commends itself
directly to their consideration and
prompt action. The discrimination In
favor of Kansas Colorado and Califor-
nia tour!<ts ~nd settlers made by the
railway companies have diverted the
stream of travel into those states to the
exclusion of Texas. Home sys-
tematic and united eSort must be
made by this state to coun-
teract tbls InSuenoe working so directly
against our interests and this conven-
tion Is oalled for that purpose. San An-
tonio owes It to herself and to south-
west Texas and to the vast Interests
which are at stake not to permit this
matter to go by default. Sbe should be
largely and worthily represented In that
convention and the Local Improvement
Committee of thirty Is tbe body of all
Others in tbls city to whom tbls matter
naturally falls. Texas must either Join
tbe procession ot sit upon tbe fence and
see tbe procession go by. Tbe Light
urgently calls attention to tbe coming
convention; cordially commends Its pur-
pose as praiseworthy and destined if
successfully carried out. to result bene-
ficially to tbe state; and specially
presses home upon the attention of tbe
Citizens’ commi tee of tbls city tbe need
of taking prompt action In order that
Bao Antonio may be worthily and well
represented at tbe Dallas meeting one
week from today.
THE DIVIDED HOUSE.
The report of Secretary Whitney of
the United States naval department
reached thia office today. Contrasted
with some sections of tbe president’s
free trade message it shows that there Is
a delightful disagreement between tbe
chief magistrate and some of his secreta-
ries. The views advanced in tbe mes-
sage were so pronou .oedly free trade in
sentiment so openly end directly and
specifically in favor of tbe supply from
abroad ot so much that is consumed In
this country because It would cost the
American consumer less than the pro-
tected article that one naturally wond-
ers to find tbe opposite view prevailing
among his secretaries. Thal Secretary
Whitney does not share the views of his
chief is quite evident from his report
just published and from which the fol-
lowing Is an extract:
“It was a falal mistake for this country to In-
dependent upon any other nation for its iu>-
elements or war. Aside irom all questions of
national dignity and pride such Implements
are contraband in time ot war. and could
not then be produced from abroad while the
lime required lo prepare a plant would u ake
It impossible to extemporize a manufactory
for tbe occasion and yet. without armor and
without hlgher-;M>wered guns iu the present
tate of the art no respectable contest could
be carried on and the country would be sub-
stantially defen-el ess."
I hla declaration of the secretary
places him rqusrely upon protection
ground for no one al all informed con-
oerning the condition of Ihe Iron and
steel trade at home and abroad during
tbe past twenty years but must know
bat this desirable condition could only
have been brought about under ihe
protection policy of ihe republican
party; the policy which the message so
ireely antagonizes. Another Incidental
argument in favor of tbe republican pro-
uctlve Idea Is given In the secretary's
statement that:
"The contracts for armor and gun steel are
made at prices within 25 per cent of the Eu-
ropean price for tbu similar article not
greater than tbe difference iu labor between
ihe two countries notwithstanding tbe heavy
outlay for plant lestl outed at *2.6U)000) neces-
sary to be made to undertake the contract."
Does anyone suppose that an Amer-
ican steel maker and gun manufacturer
unprotected against Ihe low wage labor
<>f Europe would ever have expended
>2.600000 in a steel gun plant? When
ine deparlment advertised for armor and
gun-steel for ships of war and stipulated
that the same thould be of domestic
manufacture those who put in their
olds under these conditions naturally
supposed that It was the Intention and
policy of the government to protect Ils
own steel makers from loss In the Im
menae outlay necessary to perfect
a plant for such work as
the government required. Can
tbe government now having in-
duced home manufacturers to engage in
this work honorably leave them to com-
pete with tbe free iron of Great Britain
and Germany and suffer loss thereby?
Whitney certainly does not seem to
think soand so expresses himself dlrect-
ly and unequivocally. He says:
"The department declined to make any pur-
chases of the Hotchkiss arms previously
adopted for our secondary batteries except
upon condition that a manufactory was es-
tablished In tbls country and by the accumu-
lation of orders the inducement became iu
lime sufficient to secure tbe desired result."
Take these statements of Secretary
Whitney; take them in connection with
his evident satisfaction at the result ol
this policy in securing an American
plant; take them also in connection
with his gratulation over the character
of tbe machinery employed and the
workmanship shown and they only can
show one thing—protection to Ameri-
can industry as the one policy by
which the results he so much
desires could be obtained. There; is
but one thing more to be said: Tbe pol-
icy under which this co dition did
arise and without which it could have
no existence is naturally and necessari-
ly the policy under which It will reach
Its best results. American competition
will give as low prices as Is consistent
with the good of labor and the improve-
ment of the condition of the American
laborer. Tbe whole report of Secretary
Whitney shows this and it also shows
that the presidential free trade theories
are practically vetoed by the protection
practice of the government; and that
this practical result Is approved of those
under whom it has been evoked as an
escape from what would otherwise have
been a fatal mistake. How long can a
government thus divided against itself
stand?

Thk “philosopher’s scales” which ac-
cording «o the poet were not made to
weigh sugar and tea but thoughts feel-
ings and emotions in the human heart
no longer exist merely in tlie poetic im-
agination. The Idea has been utilized
to the extent of weighing the blood ex-
changes sent from one section of the
body to another through emotional feel-
ing. Starting with the idea that the
hand varies sensib y in size with the
amount of blood present in it at any
moment. Prof. Mosso tbe Italian phy-
slolnglst has made some moat interest-
ing Investigations In his first experi-
ment. the hand was placed in a closed
vessel of water when tbe change in the
circulation produced by thealigbtest ac-
tion ot body or brain tbe smallest
I bought or movement was shown
by a rise or fall in tbe liquid
in the narrow neck of the ves-
sel. With a large balance on
which tbe horizontal human body may
be poised he has found that one’s
thoughts may be literally weighed and
that even dreams or the effects of a
slight round during slumber turn the
blood to the brain sufficiently to sink
the balance at the bead. When the
brain of the balanced person is relaxing
from thought the flow is toward tbe
fret with a corresponding oscillation.
The Investigator has continued his
studies of tbe circulation until ite>euis
that he may almost read one’s thoughts
and sensations. A tracing from a single
pulse beat shows him whether a person
Is tasting or not; two beats serve to de-
termine whether the subject Is a think-
ing or a heedless one. whether asleep or
awake cold or warm agitated orcalm.
I he changing pulse even told him when
a professional friend was readii g Italian
and when Greek the greater effort for
tlie latter duly affecting tbe blood flow.
