Election Tuesday Nov. 6 ’94.
THE BOYCOTT.
The boycott is not a native
growth of the United States nor is
it in harmony with our customs
habits institutions and laws. It
is a foreign importation and never
can become naturalized in a free
country and among a people who
by nature and education abhor in-
tolerence proscription persecu-
tion and tyranny. The boycott is
conceived in hate proscrip-
tiveness and intermeddling
and brought forth in the
spirit of injustice and tyranny.
Every person of ordinary intelli-
gence and discernment will admit
the entire truthfulness of the above
statement and every person who
has a spark of manliness and the
faintest sense of justice in his com-
position will scorn to be used
as a tool and catspaw by boycot-
ters to Injure the business of any
citizen in the community and to
gratify the spleen and malignity
of men who proceed in open viola-
tion of human and divine law.
The law gives each and every
citizen the right to manage and
control his private business ac-
cording to his own judgment and
interest so long as he does not in-
fringe on the legal rights of his
fellow citizens. In conferring qn
citizens the right to manage and
control their private business
the law authorizes them to employ
whom they please without asking
the permission of any body of men
whatsoever. The declaration of in-
dependence asserts in unequivocal
and emphatic terms the right of
every citizen the “right to life lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness”
which certainly includes the right
to manage and control his business
and to employ whom he pleases.
We deem it necessary to the
peace and welfare of this country
to impress these fundamental
principles on the minds of the peo-
ple and to urge them to maintain
them in season and out of season
undismayed by threats. It is the
plain duty as well as interest of
all citizens to light against those
who resort to the boycott in order
to accomplish their illegal pur-
poses.
There is no law on the statute
books which requires you to hire
or forbids you to employ any man
because of some particular organ-
ization he may belong to. Nor is
there any law on the statute books
that empowers any set of men to
Interfere with or control and try to
regulate a man’s private business.
It is a conspiracy for men to use
threats and coercion in order to in-
duce citizens either to withhold or
to withdraw patronage from a
business man or firm.
The boycott is one form of lynch
law and is as despotic as it is un-
lawful and those guilty of such
conspiracy and boycotting should
be liable to indictment and punish-
ment.
In so far as the Light is con-
cerned we can say:
The Light has no trouble with
its employes. It pays them their
wages every Saturday and they
have no complaint or grievance to
urge against this paper. They are
free to work or not to work for
this paper and the Light has a
legal right to hire whom it pleases
and outsiders have no shadow of
right to interfere in the matter.
The Light will continue to exer-
cise its legal right of managing its
business and employing whom it
pleases.
It is wholly the idea of having
to pay the ten dollars for advertis-
ing that is holding back the peo-
ple’s servants not the little red
Hags being shaken at them.
A candidate who is afraid to ex-
ercise his own free will] for the
right and justice will not make a
good officer.
The history of the French revo-
lution will show the candidates
how grateful “the people” were to
their friends Robespierre and
others. They cut their heads ofT
after they were done with them.
San Antonio is accursed with a
parcel of unadulterated anarchists
and the Light takes pride in the
fact that this pestilent gang are
bitterly hostile to it and are al-
ways snarling at it. Their bark is
worse than their bite.
A third man has been induced to
make the race for constable on the
so-called independent standpoint.
Now let Joe Coy look out. Its an
old trick good as new.
Let candidates beware of the
vote of honest thinking people
when they listen to the flutter of
the little red flags.
The‘Express broadly intimates
that the Populists are pelted with
abuse instead of argument but it
loses sight of the fact that the
Populists are tho’victims of a deep
seated infatuation and are impen-
etrable to argument. They are in
favor of unadultered paternalism
and their doctrines would end in
centralization and imperialism or
in a state of anarchy and bank-
ruptcy.
THE TEXAS PAPERS SAY.
Louisville Ky. Times: “That
unctuous band of brothers who
publish a pious newspaper for re-
venue only and are instigated by
the same Christian motive to at-
tack Mr. McDermott upon the line
of his religious beliefs might
truthfully plead in self-defense
that they are “Presbyterians
through ignorance and prejudice.”
The Pharisees and hypocrites who
called out the only words of bitter-
ness Christ ever spoke are not all
dead yet more’s the pity.”
“This influx of imported pauper-
labor hurricanes cyclones and
tornadoes can be logically charged
to the Democratic administration.
Didn’t McKinley big with pro-
phetic lore predict two years ago
that this would be the result of
taking a row of bricks off his
Chinese Wall of Protection? Toby
shore and in course he did!”
Paris Advocate: “The San An-
tonio Express has an article headed
‘Mexican Miscellany.’ Without
reading it we are naturally led to
the supposition that it is a treatise
on chili con carne.”
“The St. Louis Republic puts in
a great deal of time and space cor-
recting the mistakes of the Illinois
papers. The Republic always did
take a good deal of interest in the
affairs of people out of its own bail-
iwick.”
Tyler Democrat and Reporter:
“Judge Nugent is reported to have
said a few days ago at Palestine
that “he is assured of one fact and
that is that if the Democrats win
in the present state election it will
be by such a slim majority they
will never forget it.” We do not
believe that Judge Nugent believes
any such thing but he is only talk-
ing to keep up the courage of his
followers—whistling as it were
through a political graveyard in
which he and his will all soon be
interred.”
Norton’s Union Intelligencer:
“Texas politicians would do well
to take the speech of Mr. Schmitz
as a model both in stylo and sub-
stance. It would be so refreshing
to their auditors to hear some good
patriotic American doctrine ex-
pressed in a straight-forward com-
mon-sense way.”
“There were no tattered rem-
nants of fossilism no ravelling of
Populistic nonsense no demagogue
drivel in the speech of Hon.J.B.
Schmitz. The Lily Whites are
justly proud of their candidate for
governor. He spells his name a
little Germanically but he talks
like an American and that’s what
he Is and a good one too.”
“Between theyallerman and the
Democratic politician there are of-
ten stronger ties than some people
are aware of.”
Abilene Reporter: “The Popu-
lists as is but natural are holding
the Democratic party responsible
for all the ills of the present hard
times referring to which the Fort
Worth Mail-Telegram very logic-
ally observes: ‘Would It not be
just as well to hold also the .Dem-
ocrats responsible for the present
high prices of oats and corn?’ If
not why not? Let Populists an-
swer.”
Texas Miner: “Nugent is after
the Democratic platform in good
shape. He discussed the ninth and
tenth planks of the Dallas plat-
form and ridiculed the Democratic
speakers for their division on the
silver question saying they were
engaged in political juggling sim-
ply to get votes Culberson taking
one position on this subject and
George Clark and Mills just the op-
posite.”
Paris Advocate: “The Austin
Statesman thinks there is a chance
for the Populist to win in the year
2000 if they last that long. Such
remarks are discouraging to the
patriots who are in it for office.
They are liable to make them give
up the chase and vote for honest
government.”
Castroville Anvil: “We commend
the following pertinent and sen-
sible remark by the Augusta Ga.
Chronicle to the Hon. A. W. Hous-
ton : ‘The curse of politics and the
confusion of parties comes from an
effort to dodge issues instead of
frankly meeting them.’ ”
Tyler Democrat-Reporter: “A
few men in Texas clai ming to be
Democrats but who evidently had
rather disrupt the party than to
see it succeed are insisting upon
the discussion of the silver ques-
tion to the exclusion of everything
else and at the expense of every-
thing else.
Hon. C. H. Yoakum our nomi-
nee for Congress is making an
able canvass of the district. His
opponent J. M. Perdue of the
third or ginger pop party meets
him occasionally in debate and of
course comes out second best every
time. Yoakum will go through
with an easy and handsome ma-
jority.”
THE IRISH FEDERATION
Induce Mayor Gilroy Not to Be
Present.
New York Oct. 17.—The mem-
bers of the Irish National Federa-
tion who are preparing the recep-
tion to be tendered in the Luxow
Lyceum tonight to Edward Blake
M. P. for South Longford Ireland
have received a disagreeable sur-
prise by the refusal of Mayor Gil-
roy to preside after ho had’ agreed
to do so a week ago. When Mayor
Gilroy was approached by Patrick
Gleason and the other members of
the arrangement committee and
asked to help along he consented.
A day or so later the Irish inde-
pendent which represents the ele-
ments of Irishmen in this country
who favor the aggressive or Par-
nellite mode in Irish affairs in-
stead of the doctrine of agitation
prepared a circular which was yes-
terday issued broadcast through
the city and vicinity. It made a
direct onslaught upon all loyal
Irishmen to repudiate him and the
party he represents.
“When I heard of Mayor Gilroy’s
intention to preside” said Judge
Lynn last night “I lost no time in
conversing with him and made
him acquainted with the facts of
the case and the actual standing
held by this party and of Blake in
opposition to all Irishmen of honor
honesty and patriotism. But I
found that others had been ahead
of me. Several of the wealthiest
and most influential Irishmen in
this city had talked with the may-
or and had convinced him that his
presence at the reception would be
a grave mistake. Then he prompt-
ly withdrew his consent to be
present.”
