fe0ce.
In our congressional column will be
seen resolutions from Texas, which affirm
a large amount of lawleHsness in the
State, aud saying that, in the absence OF
some preventive military organization,
the citizens will be driven to organiza-
lion for self defense. This is the most
heavily taxed people under heaven. and
yet, in the South, least Of all protected
IN the peaceful pursuits Of life. The
Radical goyere. ment, for whose support
millions enough are paid, fails of giving
that protection due from the govern
nent to the citizen. 1t Yields all the
power of the country, is able, unob-
structed, to give all the protection the
pursuits Of industry and peace demand,
has all the ability to do it now it can ever
have if Grant is elected, and yet does
nothing, aud asks the perpetuation of its
power in the interests of peace Even
its friends in Texas cry for military force.
If the Radical rule now, which is abso-
lutte and complete in Texas, and all over
the country, cannot give peace, how is it
10 be expected that it will do SO any
more if its power for mischief is perpet-

Why NOT ENFORCE THE LAW

NEW YORK, Oct. = 1895.
To the EDITOR or THE HERALD -.
on reading the article In this mornings HERALD
under the above heading It struck that the ques-
ton was very well put and might well be applied to
an alarming grievance and annoyance which great
number OF our citizens daily subjected TO. re-
Ter to the running Of trains ON the Harlem and New
railroads In the vicinity OF Fifty fourth street
aud below IL at a rate not less than twelve miles an
hour and often nearer to fifteen miles, endangering
the lives and deprecatng the value OF the property
OF residents IN the nelghborhood OF Fourth avenue
Only recently two lives were lost ut the Fifty-ninth
crossing In consequence OF this recklessness
on the part Of one OF the above companies, and we
may expect TO hear OF many more unless the law IL
enforced. As q watchful guardian OF the rights OF
the citizens OF New York appeal TO you, In the hope
that the power OF the HERALD may be brought 70
bear upon the wrong above alluded to-

Means they carry the county. AS matters stand
now the disaffection among the democracy is &c
great that the election OF Mr.. Hasey Is looked upoI
a foregone conclusion. Four Irish republican
