Ir the Sunday law was inforied In
thia city there would be no necessity of
a petition to < lose up the stores on that
day.
A keckivei; will be asked for the At
chison. Topeka anti Sante Ee railroad in
the Superior Court at Topeka on the
26th of this month. It alleged that
the company is speeding 100 much
money in extensions in New Mexico.
Arizona, California and Old Mexico.
'The Luling Signal reports the arrival
of a large number of immigrants in its
section of country, and that they were
well provided for. We congratulate
Caldwell County on its good fortune.
Immigration means just that much pros
perity and money, and its value is not
generally appreciated in Texas.
Why cannot Spanish be taught in tho
public schools of this city on an equality
with the German ? Is it not as practical,
all around as the German in this
section of the country ? It is now only
taught in the High School,white German
is taught in nil the ward schools, and
there is n German principal, teacher.
When the Houston Herald lias ex
hausted the directory for names to pro
pose a suitable candidate for Mayor, it
can send to San Antonio, there are sever
al sacrilicing patriots. There who would
be willing to act as Mayor, even for
such a city as Houston. The Post wants
everything for Houston, while tiie Her
ald seems to be only in need of a Mayor.
The Jind Board are really the boss
free grassers of the State. By their ac
tion in refusing to lease for four cents
per acre they cannot rent, and therefore
the grass is used for nothing. A llrm in
this city is oflering to rent ’o sections
of better land than the great majority of
unoccupied State lands at three cents
per acre, but cannot find a renter nt that
price.
Judge Ltmu is gradually being super
ceded by legal Justice, in the fact Hint
two public executions took place in
Texas yesterday—one at Cotulla, where
Jose Maria Mendiola, a "exican. was
hangad for the murder of G. M. Hodges
at that place in Marcli last The other,
a negro. Bill Madison, was hanged at
Beaumont for the murder of nnother
negro in December. 1881 More p ompt
trials and convictions of criminals in
Texas will result in fewer high crimes
and add to the good reputation of the
State.
Tur. ( leveland adminhlriu ion seem to
have presumed upon the tolerance of lh»
Senate a little too far. and heads of de
pnrtiuents have so far failed to furnish
chairmen of committees the re sons for
making removals from ofllce. If this is
continued in. the Senate will lake some
formal action to secure the information,
or get an avowal from ihe President
that lie will not give his reasons for sm h
removals. This, with the Democratic
revolt, will give Mr. Cleveland about
all the business he can attend to.
■ • - ♦ ♦ - ——
The vagueness of Mr. Brackenridge’s
answer to the Sewer Committee in re
gard as to the probable cost of water is
characteristic, should it require 100.000
gallons a day the charge would be one
1 cent per 100 gallons or $lO a day. and
$3,650 a year, etc., etc., but should his
pumps not be of sufficient capacity then
other arrangements would have to be
made. Should the demand exceed the
capacity would not the revenue to be
derived from the excess be sufficient in
ducement for an additional investment
In extending the works? But according
to his oiler, once the sewers were down,
the town growing and the consumption
largely increased by the putting in of
closets, etc., the company could declare
that the capacity had been exhausted
and that the rates must be raised to
cover additional outlay. The people of
San Antonio will never vote for sewers
with any such vague contract with the
Water-works. They have had enough
of loose coatracts with said company.

The Lighi has received the Dal ns
Daily Herald, the new afternoon paper
established in Dallas !■ Mr. M. 11.
< lay tor, of thr limes of Illis city. Ilie
I.ioiii wishes for Mr. < laytor and his
new paper unbounded prompt rily.
The North American Review for Jan
uary lias an able article on Lundh rdism
in America, well calculated by fuels and
figures, to open the eyes of American
yoemanry. 3he startling danger of the
present crisis in our history'is monopoly,
all-grasping monopoly. The people ap
pear to have been greatly asleao while
the stealthy font of the mono; olist has
been silently but steadily on the move
and on Ihe advance; that foot is well
nigh set on the neck of the masses who
are tilling the soil, Ilie divine work to
which man was appointed in the begin
ning. We have thought our national
domain well-nigh illimitable. I lie pub
lic lands have been lavished with a pro
lusion almost passing belief. So-called
statesmen have been aspiring to office;
and tiie rights of Ilie people have been
absorbed in the gains of monopolists and
millionaire kings. Very many have
thought that most of our farmers were
owners of lands they ciiltirated. Ihe
people are about awakening from a ter
rible delusion in this matter Ilie
article in Hie North American lb view
referred to, is by Thomas I’. Gi l.
After presenting its sad array of fig
ures am! facts more eloquent Ilian mere
words, it proceeds: " Thus, the I lilted
Slates, at Hie present, possess n quarter
million more t.aa it-famu r. paying rent
to landlords than the three kingdoms
and I'rircipalin of Wales together. Il
contains more ilian Hires limes as many
as England ami W ales, ami more tl.au
i w ice as mam as landiol'il i iihlc; Ir,
land. In the state ot Liuiois alone,
which is neither an 01. l Lsleri. i or a
Southern Stall, there are, w ith less pop
illation, marly twenty thousand more
tenant-tarrnera Ilian there are in the an
cient, Undid Kingdom of .Scotland,”
* » ' "It I* a Miggotive fact, to
go no deeper limn the am face of these
figures that FramfL. with her expens
he and restricted .-oil, lias been Io place
more than five million thrifty agricul
turists in nb-olute proprietorship of
their small holdings, while America, on
her boundless virgin area, unhampered
by title-deeds or tradition of pa.-t pro
prietorial rights, with her ever-growing
population hungry for land, lias been
unable to establish quite three millions
of proprietor.-, counting both great
and sim.ll. And it is to be noted
that the ratio of working proprietors of
land in France is steadily increasing,
ami that of tiie* tenants and landlords is
•teadily diminishing, while the rever.se
is true in the l ulled States.” Oh! for
the men of yore, or for kindred spirits to
take their places; a Webster, knowing no
section; a < lay, who had rather be right,
ilia." to be President; a Calhoun, with
clear analysis am! dauntless love of
truth; a Douglass, with ponderous blows
against tiie foes of justice am! fair play;
an Abe Lincoln, justly mimed "Honest
old Abe," who with eyes fixed on tiie
polar star of his country would he un
derstood to-day. The crisis is too peril
ous, too big witli tremendous issues for
personal partiality in the selection of
L niteii States Senator from Texas. A
man is nee led who is equal to the emer
gency. We need able men in high
places, men who love their country as
did the great immortal names of by
gone times. Ilie Patrick Henry will
arise with banner flung beyond the ou’er
wall; with the lightning's Hash in Ills
eyes, ami with thrilling, burning words
on his tongue to the words. "Give me
liberty or give me death.” millions of
freemen will make the welkin ring with
the thunder of their response.
MEXICAN ITEMS,
It is said that General Trevino has
been appointed M inister to Spain from
Mexico.
Manuel Gonzales ( osio has just tn cn
his sent as the new May or of tiie City of
Mexico.
The City of Mexico during 1885 had

penditure of $1,3110,111.76, leaving $2,-
75!'.1b in the treasury.
In Ometepec, Guerrero, corn is quoted

per carga and beans at $3 per carga.
An epidemic of small-pox broke out
two weeks ago in Centro. Guerrero,
slxte n hundred children were vacci
nated in a lew days.
A "norther” commenced to blow in
Vera Cruz on Sunday morning, and is
said to lie the most powerful, ns well as
ihe coldest, of the present season.
On the Ist instant, tiie School of Arts
and Professions in Puebla was sol
emnly inaugurated in the presence of
tin Governor of tlie State and otherdig
nitarieg.
The Durango legislature has decreed
a poll tax of from 25 cents to $3 per an
num to be paid quarterly by all male in
habitants of Mineral del Oro. The money
is to be applied to the purposes of pub
lic instruction.
on Thursday the sculptor Senor No
rena cast the bronze statue of Guatamoc
which is to lie unveiled on the Paseo.
Guutemoc was the bravest Aztec who
faced Cortez, and the history of his
prowess is most brilliant.
The young men in Vera Cruz, or al
least several of them, made calls on
New Yaar's Day in a novel manner.
I hey hired a brass band and went
through the streets calling en masse at
Hie bouses of their lady friends. The
band played only at the houses.
Dr. D. F. Liceaga, of Silao, who is a
lover of art. conceived Hie idea of hav
ing a theatre erected there. Money
not being at hand lie proposed to the
prefect. Angel Moncada, to utilize the
funds derived from lines, etc., in the po
lice court. T his was consented to. and
this city of 15,000 people, is now in a fair
way to have a theatre.
A plant has been found in the State
of Michoacan which is apt to create a
furor in pharmacy. Dr. Crecencio Gar
cia, of Morelia, has named it Pazonychia
Patinosa. after the great Mexican phy
sician. He thinks it will be a rival to
quinine. It contains tannin, mucilage,
some saccharine matter, a bitter ingre
dient, nitrate of potash and lime.
On Thursday night Messrs. Jesus M.
liabago. Alfonso L. Velasco, writers on
tiie sensational paper, Las Novcdades.
were arrested. Manuel Martinez, who
runs a newsstand in the Auguslinos
Portal, was also arrested for complicity,
charged with selling the papers. The
gentlemen are also accused of editing
the libellous Oran Galeoto.
A bold robbery was effected on tbe
■lth instant in Vera Cruz. The wine
warehouse of Calleja Bros. & Co., on
Calle de Cinco de Mayo, was entered by
burglars who carried off more than 20
boxes of oil and liquors, put them in a
art and drove off. Tiie burglary was
< ommiited in plain daylight, but there
is nothing know n of the robbers save
Hint a boy saw them loid up and drive
a way.
Soni? of the Causes
Giving rise Io dyspepsia are over
worked badly cooked food, burry in
eating, too much grease, disagreeable
companions, too little sleep, too much
worry. Dyspepsia Is a curse; but Brown’s
Iron Bitters is a blessing; because it
casts out dyspepsia, anil makes suffering
people well. Mrs E. Patton. 2620
Franklin street. St. T.onie. says: "I used
Brown's iron Bitters for dyspepsia, and
it did me good,”

Home Testimony
From
George H. Kaltoycr
CHEMIST,
SAN ANTONIO. - - TEXAS
San Antonio, Tex., July 1,1885.
I purchased in this city a package of Pmf.
Horsford's Self-Raising Broil Preparation
and submitted it to a chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed of pure
and non-poisonous chemicals.
The idea of Prof. Hotgford was indeed a
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tart ar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread, and the bone producing elements of
nature.
It is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.
1 can only Join in the endorsement given by
the late celebmt*-*! chemist. Prof. Baron V.
Liebig, to this preparation in saying: “I con
sider this invention as one of the most useful
gifts which science has made to mankind."
