THOMAS II. JOHNSON, Iluslness Manager. Entered at postoillco at San Antnlo, Tents, as second-class matter. TIIIIKSIIAY, OCTOllint, 4 1883. The Uhiit hi received an invitation to a tournament and ball at Drazoria, October II. Wanted. An early frost to relieve ui ol the mosquitoes and dudes, Is the prayer of the Gainesville Register. Jefferson Davis has done tolerable well, considering, having realized about $100,000 out of his history ol the rebellion. The "Alamo" is a steamship of the Mall ory line, and recently made the passage from New York to Galveston in seven days includ ing one day stop at Key West. The Light is pleased to see the City Coun cil Is Inclined to enforce the ordinance regard ing the building of sidewalks. It is right and proper, and the work should be pushed at all times. Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, is described as the "wild, weird journalistic ass of the plains," by the Eastern papers, but lor all that he made them all take a tumble by reason of his Western nerve and enterprise. The Cincinnati papers appear to be mixed as regards the results of the Ohio election. The Commercial-Gazette claims 40,000 ma jority for Koraker, Republican, while the News-Journal figures out an overwhelming voting for Iloadly. The Chicago Times asks: "Why has Mr. Blaine rented his new mansion in Wash ington ! Does he intend to quit that city for good, or does he expect before long to reside in the White house ! These are solemn ques tions for the various proprietors of Presiden tial booms." The Eagle Pass Maverick propounds the following obstruse problem i "The way to take two from one and have two remain is to take $1 from your pocket and pass it in for a year's subscription to the Maverick; thus your $2, though taken from you, will remain $2 with us, until we have 2 pay It out.'Sabe ?" It is in order for some brevet prophet to come forward with a brand of weather that will be acceptable during the Volklfest fes tivities something calm and serene like a May morning, where the zephers are lair and frail, and the sun but dimly hidden behind fleecy clouds. That Is what we desire, and any other kind will be a burden, and very un welcome. The general opinion of the State papers re gardiog the Butler boom, with Representative Iteagan as a tail-piece, is that the Texas man is in powerfully poor Democratic company, Butler Isn't to all -killing beautilul as some would-be Presidents, tut he is a stayer from wav back. Having been five times a candidate for Gov ernor of Massachusetts before he made it naturally gives him some points that will en able him to discount the other fellows in the The New York Herald, speaking of the rumored assassination a few days ago of Mr. Parnell, says: "The public will read with satisfaction the statement which we print to day from Mr. Parnell, touching his where abouts and the sound and unassasslnated con dition of his body. There has been bad pas sion enough stiired up in Ireland by the agi tators there, and far too many murders al ready. Another, and especially such a one as was reported, while It could not benefit the opponents of Mr. Parnell, would lead to ter rible reprisals, and there would follow a war of assassinations equal to anything on the gloomiest pages of history." There are limes In the lives of many ex emplary church members, when they are fa vorcd with a view of a large and well assorted stock of serpents, andlhe.number of reptiles Is governed alone according t) the grade of ardent spirits imbibed, but it has been left for the attendants of a camp meeting near Wins ton, Maine, to have a little experience in the snake line, in which It Is solemnly asserted that the congregation was scattered by an eruption of moccasin snakes, and notwith standing a number of the snakes were killed, It was found impossible to get the people to gether again. It is fortunate that prohibition Is the popular belief in Maine, otherwise this snake story would suiter at the hanlsofthe ungodly and unbelieving scoffer 1, The New Yoik Tribune says: "It Is an nounced that all that prevents Siding Bull from embracing the Christian religion is the romantic and weighty fact lhat he possesses to wives, to each of whom he Is devotedly attached. Given to understand by the good Bishop who is interested in his spiritual con dition that he must either abandon one of them or abandon his idea of becoming con verted, he first looks longingly nt Christianity and then longingly at his two wives, and then proceeds to hall between his conflicting emo tions. If the great Chief finally concludes to retain his two wives and turn a deaf ear to the Bishop, it will simply be another case of lov ing not wisely but too well." In a recent address before the Tariff dub at Columbus, Ohio, Gov. Foster said: "The pilicy of protection is malntslned by every civilized nation. Savage and barbarous na tions alone practice free trade. Every nation of Europe adopts protection. England Is no e'ceplion. Her whole history has been full of protective laws, and to these she owes ber commercial supremacy. England now levies duties on fifty-three articles, and her duties are higher on manufactured products than on raw materials. This is protection to manufac turers. But on other articles her professed free trade Is a delusion and a fraud. Her laws do discriminate in favor of manufactur ers. In England, no tax Is leved on capital or machinery employed in manufacturing. Here, il a manufacturer invests $100,000 in machinery and implements and material for manufacturirg, he will pay an average tax of 2 per cent , or $2,ooo annually. In England the manufacturer is exempt from this, and thus he secures protection fcr Ills manufac turers." Dennis Kearney has gone to New York, and In reply to an Interview with a World re porter, salJ: "I came here in the Interests of the workingmen the wage-worker I want big wages and short hours. I came here un der the auspices of Dennis Kearney. I In tend to appear before the Senate Committee on Education and Labor in a day or two and state my views, and I shall speak at meetings to be held throughout the East. I want the wage-worker to share the profits with the profit-monger and farmer. There are 483 profit-mongers, 4,000,000 farmers and plant ers and 12,500,000 wage-workers in this country. I deplore the reduction of the price of the Herald, Tribuce and Times. It means just so much money out of the pockets of the reporters and editors. The man who champ ions big pay and short hours will have 2,000,- 000 voters to put him In Ihe Presidential chair. 1 shall have 2,000,000 voters organized for this object in six months. I arn no anti-monopolist, that is a misnomer. I am no mo nopolist, but I am for big pay and short hours and that is the platform on which I stand." In an article under the head of " Texas and Mexico," the Houston Post says: " Com ing upon the hetls of the accidental failure of a meeting between Governor Madero and Governor Ireland at Laredo, the visit of the latter to Saltillo and his warm and cordial re ception by the people of Coahuila, form an agreeable fact and one ominous of good re sults. It is now known that Governor Ire land was prevented from meeting Governor Madero at Laredo by the delay of a tele gram, and the honors paid him by the late guests of Texas on their own ground show that so far from any offense having been given, the most kindly sentiments exist. It is fitting that such events should take place, in order that the unpleasant feeling and ap prehensions of hostility that the border troubles and the Monterey difficulty had ex cited, might be swept away. Had Governor Ireland gone to Mexico with no other Intent, his action should be esteemed politic and wise. Such interchange oi official courtesy and the benefits that flow from personal con ference do more to produce good feeling and confidence than a score of treaties or any amount of correspondence at long range."
