MURDER RECORD OF TExAs-The

special committee ON murders and VIC.

convention, there have been $50 murder.
committed in that favored State, to say
nothing of assaults with intent TO kill
rapes, robberies, whippings of freedmen
SC. OF these homicides, S33 were com.
mitted by whites, IS by freedmen, and As
by persons whose race is unknown. The
whites, though only twice as numerous
have committed fourteen times as many
murders as the blacks, thus showing tina,
the instinct OF murder is seven times a.
strong in the Caucasian breast as that OF
the sons Of Ham. OF the number killed
by whites, AGA were whites and 1913 were
freedmen. As the proportion Of freed.
men killed is fifty per cent. larger than
the proportion Of freedmen to the total
population, it follows that the whites art
fifty per cent more murderous toward
blacks than toward whites. OF the mum
Der killed by freedmen, only ten were
whites and forty-eight were freedmen
In veiw Of the fact that there are twice a.
many whites Is freedmen, these figures
show that the freedman is nearly ten time
as prone to kin one Of his own race as h,
is to kill white man. On the whole
the white man is far Superior to the negr,
as a murderer.-Nese York Tribune.

SILVER CHANGE.-There is silver coin
enough in the country to serve the pur-
poses of change. 1t is not in circulation
because it is not current at its market
value. 1t cannot be exported, like gold.
1t is simply lying dormant because there
is no currency for it at its true value. A
little monetsry genius ON the part Of our
retail dealers wonld bring out all this
boarded silver change to take the place Of
the fractional notes. The currency rate
for gold has not varied far from LAO 70,
long time. This would be q safe stand
ard by which to fix the current value o.
the fractional silver coins; and If they
were current at this, they would com.
into circulation. Concert Of action amone
our retail dealers might give " this clear
change, and drive out the obnoxious frao
