Tuesday, January 12, 1886,
Thb Luling Diily W»*p ha* lost its
•ting. It’s gone dead
Tmi was skating on Braze* River at
Waco. That sound* hinny for the Sunny
South.
Thk Senate i* now fairly in the ailver
discussion, each member giving notice
that he will bav* something to say on
the question. This Is the grand oppor
tunity for buncombe.
Thk Fort Worth Gazette still has free
grass on the brain. It Is too goou and
live a paper to talk such nonsense. A
herd law. In connection with the lease
law, Is what Texas will have, and with
it peaee and prosperity.
Thk Laredo Times should send to Its
readers a lexicon of the peculiarly cor
rupted English dialect in use on the Rio
Grande frontier. It advises the silver
advocates to "stand pat" against Presi
dent Cleveland. The President will
have to call in bis Interpreter* to ex
plain the term.
It i* generally eon*eded that th* lead
ing question before th* people is the sil
ver question. Th* grsat majority down
this way are sliver men, and if Cleve
land does not believe It, Juat let him
turn some *f that surplus silver In the
vault* loose, and see bow qutek It would
b* appropriated.
Thb merchants of El Paso have peti
tioned Congress to tak* some action
about the *etabliahment of tbe free zone
nt Paso del Norte, the Mexican aid* of
th* river. What can Congress do about
It? The remedies suggested by the peti
tioners are to either make a reci pwal
treaty, or establish a similar zone *n
this std* of tbe river. Tbe flrat is by all
means the best, if not the only remedy.
Skvkjul of th* most enterprising of
tbe State papers sre favor ng the ob
servance of an arbor day. Tbe Light
has spoken of tbls m-tter several times
before, and reiterates that tbe celebra
tion of an arbor day In -'an Antonio
would be productive of much good.
There are many parks her- that are
now but baren Wastes, that with trees
could be made places of beanty that
would r fleet much credit on the elty,
outside of affording grateful shade to
tbe weary.
A cording to the Journal, the Eagle
Pae* Refrigerator Company, last week,
nlangbtered 40 beeves and 2S muttons
and shipped them to New Orleans. It
only remains with the railroad whether
aald enterprise will prove a grand *'«c
oess or not. With tbe San Antonio and
Aransas Pass road completed, this city
would have tbe advantag* over any
other in th* State a* th* location for a
similar enterprise, and yet not a single
move ha« been taken In that direction.
Ie the golden opportunity t* slip from
Ban Antonio and go to Uss favored
townsT
Poor old John Roach was among the
first victim* of th* Cleveland adminis
tration, became be bad been and was
then the ship builder of th* United
State*. Th* Secretary of the Navy
claimed that th* veaaals then In doev
would not float, and that In fact Mr.
Roach was a fraud of the first water,
and cons-quently must be aurpreesvd.
This was don* by refusing to pay the
money he had already eam*d, or ac
oeptlng tbe contract* be had made. The
cruiser Dolphin was made the subject
»t mueb trouble on tbe part of Mr.
Roocb, and much criticism on the part
of th* navy official*. They said (be
oould not itand in any gale, and then
tbe Democratic papert (houted about
Republican corruption. But tbe Dol
phin went to sea, stood tbe test of a iM
hours gale, and tbe Secretary of tbe
Navy ba* at last concluded that ah* is a
good boat, and will do. Thus It is that
poor old John Ro»<h has been vindi
cated, although made a bankrupt by tbe
admlniatrat on.
—Tbe only cigarette* which do not
Stick to tbe IIp« «e Opera Putt?.
At thk "tirat blush," to use tbe In
spired words of City Attorney Newton,
one would be led to believe that the
Times bad sorter put it* foot Into It. In
tbls city printing controversy, and tbe
further 1t I* discussed, the more con
firmed would that opinion be. The fol
lowing from the Express Is given entire,
because it coverstbe ground completely.
Tbe Express says: “The Times wants
the Express to make a direct charge in
connection with the city printing,
though why it should be called upon t*
do so is beyond its comprehension.
However, to accommodate the Times,
the Express will charge that the print
ing of the opinion of City Attorney
Newton on the validity of the water
works contract was not authorized by
the Council, and tbe city cannot pay for
It without violating Its contract with
th* Light, and laying Itself open to dam
ages. The Express will further amuse
the Times by saying that while it has
no interest in who gets the city printing
or job work. It has an Intere t in seeing
that the Mayor of the city protects i'S
Interests, and does not vlolste the good
faith of tbe city. If the Mayor is Inde
p< ndent of the city’s laws and contracts,
the people ought to know it. Tbe case
under consideration would make a good
test. It makes not the slightest differ
ence whether the work was done at the
Times newspaper office or Job office, or
any other office; its printing was unau
thorized, and. if It had.been authorized,
it should have gone - o tbe city printer
The law I* plain, the duty of the Mayor
is plain. The duty of the Inance Com
mittee also is plain, and they will dis
play wisdom by attending to it strictly."
A Wk»thkrkokp syndicate has been
form d for the purpose of buying about
3.000.000 acres of "rich gold and silver
lands” in Mexico. That is right about
tbe gold and silver lands, but they don't
get any of tbe minerals unless they dis
cover or buy the mines, and continue
to work them. Mexico has on* of tbe
best mining laws in the world, and don't
sell mineral lands by the million acres.
Any person discovering minerals can
register tbe same and enter into posses
sion of a limited tract by working it, no
matter on whose land It may be, or who
may be the owner.
The Victoria Advocate has thrownit*
weight in favor of Galveston as the one
point on which th* harbor appropria
tion thould be centered This one man
and one town talk is too narrow for a
State like Texas What is the matter
with Pass Cavallo? Knowing that it
is not practical as a deep water pass,
tbe Advocate narrowly would give all
to Galveston rather than bav* Aransas
Pass get Its share. This Is nawortby
ofsueb a broad guage paper as th* Ad
vocate has always been. West Texas
wants and will secure a deep water har
bor, and Aransas Fas* will b* the place.
GMveston should also have it, and every
other place where d*ep water can be
secured and a «af* harbor mad*. Texas
will n**d them all la a very f*w years.
"Th* present is not a very good time
to go tn Wan Antonio, as the city Is in
fested with small-pox,” say* the Paris
News. This is only on* of the hundreds
ot similar Items to be found tn the State
paper*. Who is responsible for this?
In the Hillsboro Mirror I* th* *ntlre
dispatch sent from this city to the Fort
Worth Gazette, dated January 0, and
headed: "San Antonio’s Small-Pox.”
These dispatches are sent abroad with
out the explanation that there I* not the
slightest danger of the disease spread
l.ig. a* It ha* never been epidemic here
ever when there wa* no Board of
Htaltb, a* there aow Is, and an efficient
one at that People of tbl* city would
not know that there bad been a case of
small pox within tbe past three years
had they not seen It In the daily paper*.
There I* Ju,t as good a chance of being
struck by lightning as to catch the
small-pox in tbi* city. Even if you
wanted to you could not find a case.
Thb Bandera Bugle print* tbe follow
ing startling news, and the Light would
notify the scrambling thousand* that
will rush to the new El Dorado, that in
its advertising column* will be found
the names of the most reliable business
tirms from which to buy supplies and
outfits, and if the hotels become inade
quate to accommodate tbe tide of gold
seeker*, that tbe city will furnish camp
ing room tree: "Mr. F. W. Stidham,
from leaker, wbo was visiting Bandera
last week, brought tbe startling and in
teresting news *z a great gold discovery
on a creek about nine miles north of
Leakey, somewhere in the neighbor
hood of Frio Water Hole. According to
Mr. Stidham, the ore has been essayed
and it panned out SCA to the ton.
Twenty wagon loads of th* ore were
reedy to start to Hondo City, from which
place a car load was to be sent to Silver
City to be thoroughly asseyed. Should
ell this come out to be es described will
not Edwerd* county haves boom!”
The manner of electing officers in our
sister "republic” of Mexico is rather
unique. An eleetion for governor took
piece In Coehulle on th* 3d of thi*
month, end Gelen we* “elected." Sev
ere! election* bed previously tek**
plan*, but a* one Faleon had apparently
gotten a goodly number of votes, end,
a* hl* friend* claimed,* majority, and
there being some objection t* him by
the Federal Government, the State waa
pat under military rule, and a federal
general appointed provisional governor.
Several more election* were subse
quently held, with like result, and
followed by a decree of the military
governor, that owing to disturbance*
the elections were illegal. In the last
elections, tbe one on tbe 3d, the Falcon
ists were notified by tbe constituted
authorities that it would b* u-eless for
them to vote, as tbelr maa could not bo
"elected” in any event, and therefore
Galen waa "elected” by an overwhelm
ing majority. From now on. peace and
civil government will reign in Coabila.
Such Is republicanism In Mexico, but
the redeeming feature is that few of the
natives outside of those directly inter
ested in holding office, nor tbe fo-elgn
er* care which party rules, as publio
order Is generally well maintained un
der all circumstance*, and tbe govern-
ment might change daily without the
outside world being a wire of it. except
through th* bout *-d official*.
Thk following is taken from the Hous
ton Post, and a majority of the reader*
ot rhe Lwht will be found In sympathy
with tbe sentiments therein expressed:
“General Roland McKenzie, of the
United State* army Is teported to be at
death’s door. For some two year* he
has been confined to a lunatic asylum,
and if bis case is Incurable it will be a
mercy for him to die. He was an officer
who endeared bimaelf to tbe people of
Texas by bis vigorous and efficient pro
tection of the frontier from Indian and
Mexican raiders. He. with Lieutenant
Bullis to carry out his orders, had no
hesitation wiiat. ver in invading Mexico
and shooting tbe r iscals on Mexican
soil. It is men w itb his backbone wbo
are needed on the frontier. Many a
T»xan will sbed a tear of sorrow when
the grand old soldier passes away.”

hpeut thousands of dollars to arrest the march

that I obtained. I was unfit lor any manual

<-lain Ing that he himself ha<l bt-en greatly
benefited by its use in some lung troubles. I
resolved to try it The n aults are rvniurk
able. My cough has left me, iny strength has
returned, and I weigh B* l pounds more than 1
ever did in my life. It has been three years
since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I
have had no return of the disease, and there
are no pains or weakness felt in my lunga I
do the hardest kind of mechanic:!! work, and
f<«el as well as 1 ever felt since I wa* a boy.
Thew, ! know, art* wonderful statements to
