THOMAS II. JOHNSON, Iluslness Manager. MONDAY, DIXIIMIlKlt 21 18H.1. The Lioiit will Isiue no paper lo-morrow. Clirlttmai Is a holiday In fact, and the Light's working force, In common with the world at Urge, will take It In for all It it worth, and the Light takes this occasion to wish one and all of its readers a merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. Tiik Christmas edition of Ihe Abilene Re porter is a double number of that excellent paper, printed on tinted-toned paper, profuse j illustrated with fine eriravinr,s, and more than filled with excellent reading matter. The edition displays much enterprise, and Abilene should be proud of the Reporter and five it the encouragement itdeserres. Tin Light Is under obligations to almost erery newspaper in Texas for courteous and kind notices, and this acknowledgement is made with all our heart. Courteous discipline reflects honor vpon the press and enhances its influence, while bullying, blackguardism and discourtesy render it demoralizing to the mor als and taste of the public, and destroy its in flutnee with the best people In the community. The Gatesvllle Advance sensibly says: "A paper that waits until the battle is over before it expresies an opinion may always be on the popular side, but it will never wield much Influence. It is demanded by the people that papers that lead public senti ment must have opinions and be bold to ex press them. These are the journals that live to attend the funerals of their mealy-mouthed contemporaries." The following most generous compliment is from that bright, pleasant evening contem porary, the Waco Day s "The handsomest and certainly the most Interesting holiday paper that has come to The Day Is the San Antonio Light, of the loth Instant. It is quadruple the usual size of the paper, brim ming over with appropriate illustrations and reading matter, anil as to mechanical execution and print Is simply superb. The Light has also issued an annual almanac for 1884 that is complete in its way. The paper is doing not only a good work for Itself, but for San Anto nio and Texas." The Laredo Times accuses the Light of attempting to feed some of the Democratic papers on "taffy," because of our statement that there were Dourbon journals and progres sive Democratic papers. The fact is as the Light stated it, and It is queer "taffy" to state a well-known fact. Ifthe Laredo Times reads the Light and understands what constitutes "taffy," it must have observed that the Light does not deal in tally. The Light said Cul berson and Wellborn were whipped in by the "machine," and the last sentence of the Times shows we were right. It says s " If they had voted for any oilier man for Speaker, they would doubtless have paid for it with their official positions." The Galveston News has fired off a string of fire crackers at Governor Ireland, charging him with the responsibility for fence cutting. But Governor Ireland will hardly hear the noise. He is no more responsible for fence cutticg than is the News. The Light pre dicted that the fence cutting would blow Ire land sky high and split his party In two j but, nevertheless, it is opposed to doing Governor Ireland wlllul Injustice, lie had no more ' power, by virtue of his constitutional powers, to arrest fence cutting than the News has ability to obtain deep water on Galveston bar with a stove shovel and editorial flatulence. The LIGHT considers Ireland a gubernatorial failure, but that Is no reason why It should do him wilful Injustice or suffer the News, the would-be Warwick or king maker, to do so without a protest. The Blanco Star-Vindicator truly says: "The old Alamo building at San Antonio should be preserved, Intact, as eld Indepen dence hall at Philadelphia Is; so the people of Texas may always be reminded of Ihe heroism of their forefathers a heroism without a parallel in ihe world's history, and which won forus the independence of the fairest country on God's green earth. It was the blood of Ihe Alamo martyrs that won Ihe field of San Jacinto and gave Texas her freedom, Fan nuil hall, Boston, Is called the cradle of American liberty, but the Alamo Is even more lhan this It Is not only Ihe cradle, of Texan liberty a bloody one it's true but is also the grave of despotism. It will Inspire In the bosom of Ihe sons of the Lone Star State a spirit that will forever resist to the death the yoke of a despot. While stands the Alamo Texas will be free " l'OSIMASTKR II, A. BURDANK, of Laredo, in a letter to the Houston Post in reply to complaints about the management of lhat office, gives the following reason why It lakes so long for letters to go to immediate points In Mexico: "The mall from the North ar rives at Laredo at 6:05a. m. (whenon time); Ihe Mexican National train for Monterey leaves Laredo at 7:30. As I am allowed only one clerk, It takes us unlit nearly 8 o'clock to distribute our local malt. Another thing, the mall for Mexico is not delivered to railroad postal clerks from this office, but to a Mexi can carrier, employed by the Mexican Gov ernment, who brings the mall from New La redo, Mexico, every day between the hours of 12 m. and t p. m., when the exchange mail is ready for him. What the Postmaster of New Laredo does with the mail, or how long he keeps It in his office, I do not know. I do know that every letter and paper arriving at (his office by 12 o'clock m., destined for Mexico, leaves hete the same day." The publishers of the Light, have endeav ored at all times to make it a representative paper. That they have succeeded, Jn a great measure, is evidenced by the many compli ments given the paper by Its contemporaries. The following from the Handera Enterprise is particularly appreciated, and the Light will always endeavor to ketp the good esteem it has already earned: The Enterprise says: "While we differ as widely as possible from Ihe political sentiments of the San Antonio Light, we nevertheless admire its bold and manly advocacy of its principles and its un qualified and outspoken condemnation of men and measures whenever, in its judgment, they deserve it. The fact that Ihe Light has grad ually made considerable ascent upon Ihe hll' of newspaper reipectability, diagging through the debris of a heavily discounted political party in Texas, is evidence of merit which should not and cannot be overlooked. The Light is, in very many respects, an excellent dally paper, and richly deserves the extensive patronage Its recent improvements indicate." Christmas is supposed to be the anniver sary of the birthday of Christ, and has for many centuries been kept as a holy day by nearly all Christian sects. Chaucer said ia his lime during Christmas it "snowed of meate and drinke," alluding to the general prevalence of hospitality and good cheer every house being open to all comers. In England Christmas lasted with each family so long as the yule log remained in the fireplace unconsumed, and to protract the duration ol this'.season of joy, good cheer, hospitality and hilarity the yule log was purposely selected from some noncombustible wood, and was then soaked in water, or wine, to increase its natural incombustibility with the view of pro tracting the holiday. The Puritans treated Christmas festivities as sinful and heathenish, and made open war against Christmas, wear ing faces of greater elongation and sourness on this holy day to denote the sinfulness of all good cheer and festivity, and their own near ness to heaven. In the United States all the Protestant sects indulge in puritanical views about Christmas. We are not, by any means, going to quarrel with these sects they may think as they choose provided they do not molest uj In our opinions still, wc do not fancy a religion that condemns cheerfulness as a crime, and good cheer as the chlel of sins. Drunkeness and excess are brutal and debasing at all times and seasons, but es pecially on the reputed birthday of the Savior of sinners, whose creed holds that no drunkard can Inherit the kingdom of heaven. Hospital ily, good cheer, fun mirth and enjoyment, within the bounds of reason and decorum, are not only innocent but commendable on many accounts, particularly for the recreation of mind and body afforded by them. Foreigners visiting the United States are painfully sfuck by the care-worn, haggard, prematurely old look of our people, by their constant rush and hurry and absorption In business cares. The average American is a steam engine in pantaloons and a frock coat; he has no time to chew his food, and so he swallows It In chunks. lie regards repose as the complet es! bore, recreations as a waste of time, so ciability as unadulterated nonsense, friendship as only fit for poets, beardless boys and bread and butter misses redolent of the boarding house. Getting drunk and gambling are his only relaxations from business, the first drowns his senses and the last produces the excite ment which he craves. Recreation recruits body and mind and prolongs life and should be encouraged. Cheerfulness and mirth, fun and laughter are better than doctors and medi cines. We hope every family in San Anto nio will have its yule log and go in for hospi tality, sociability, good cheer and enjoyment during Christmas. Let them Invite their friends to share their good cheer. It would not surprise us at all if there were not in San Antonio men who never have Invited a friend to share their meals, not even during Christ mas. Suppose all hands take a "new de parture" In sociability and recreation an3 leave rag, tag and bobtail to get drunk! Widows and orphans, the poor and the sick, ought not to be overlooked or forgotten dur ing Christmas, and we call upon all to re member them by sending them such presents and articles as they think would be most ac ceptable.
