The Influence of the Flower.

The influence of the plant life
upon human life is something which
tho psychologists nave never been
able satisfactorily to define, 1t is
subtle as electricity, which We know
rather as n result than cause of
action, and as mysterious as the mir,
whose vertical pressure of fifteen
pounds to the square inch is not
perceptible to the senses. That the
influence TO which werefer has an
existence, however, and. a very i'm
portant one for humanity, we pre-
sumo there are none so unobselving
as to deUy. Iii that which prompts
the transformations of sunny house
hold corners, during the long win
ter, into miniature green houses,
where, despite tho bitter weather
oatside, there is always semblance
of summer inside and an assurance
of the eternal revolutions of the
seasons.
1t is that which prompts us to
age aud yonth, Joy and
sorrow with floral offerings and
expcnd our means in the cultivation
Of that which we know to be Of
only transitory beauty. And it is a
fortunate thing for us that we are
susceptible TO the subtle influence

THE PRINTING QUESTION.

A special dispatch to the Houston
Telegraph, dated Thursday last, says
that the caro-. of Mr. Richardson, of the
Galveston News, caused considerable
excitement In Austin. Members OF
the Legislature say that they will not
allow eprinting question to be stifled,
but willhandle it without gloves before
the end of the session. The correspon-
dent adds: ~ fstt
have received the following infor-
NATION regarding the public printing
from very reliable source: When
the contract bill was proposed the gov
ernor opposed it. knowing rejected
bidders would resort to abuse. He pre-.
ferred q legislative committee. He
would have vetoed the bill but for the
persuasion of members who had made
the contract system point in his cam
~ vtss. When Montgomery's fraud was
discovered he was severely examined,
y. but no proof that any paper except the
News had his Information could be
discovered. Montgomery would have
been arrested, but as the letter had
never been in, the United States mails,
there Is no statute against his offense.
RICHARDSON In, his interview with
the governor, attorney general aud sec
retary 0fstate, misunderstood to ad nit
that the bid was opened by Mont
goflery, owing to arrangements with |
Ryan, Richardson defendedthe moral |
ity of the transaction, and as his bid |
had been opened by Ryan after he re-
ceived Information from Montgomery,

is citizen of Kentucky, but was a
comrade of Milan in the war of 1912,
and afterwards in the revolutionary
army of Mexico, in the struggle of that
country for liberty against Spain.
The career of Milan as briefly
sketched by his surviving comrade is
remarkable, and would furnish mate
rial for half dozen novels. We are
glad to see such interest felt in the
memory Of a man so dear to Texas.

THE communication Of our esteem

The communication of our esteemed
friend, OK" in to-day's paper, enun-
ciates the true doctrine. But as the
question in relation to the Interna-
tional railroad bonds was disturbing
one, and calculated to engender strife
at home and distrtist abroad, our friend
will probably conclude with us that it
is better to concede something to the
opposite. view and sanction the law
just passed, by which the people. will
pay three instead of six millions in
bonds to the road. We confess to a
slight relaxation in rigid principles;
coupled with q desire to see the an
cient and original seat of civilization in
ATexas, glorious old San Antonio, con-
nected with tile balance of the world
by rail.
As an original proposition we would
oppose any and all such schemes.
But, in view of actual facts and all the
surroundings, we think the Legislature
has probably done for the best. The
people want to know what the liabili-
ties of the state are, and with this
measure adopted, it will be easy to
determine the fact. AT any rate, we
are not disposed to reopen the issue.
We hope to hear often from our
esteemed friend "X,n knowing his
abilityand the purity of his principles.
Too few such men lend their talents to
newspapers. The more the better.

AGAIN we call upon the city council


AGAIN we call upon the city council
to clothe the city engineer with the
duties of street commissioners. In no
other way can n final and perfect map
ofthe city be made. Without bigotry,
we apprehend that no man in Dallas
has given so much attention to this
subject AS we have. Mere committees
win not do. They cannot act in such
concert as to produce system. Let one
man have the contol and make it both
his duty and interest to reduce the
whole plan of the town into harmony
and agreement. One man, making it
r u business, can do 1t. A committee of
men cannot.

THE people in the different parts OF
the town desiring work on the streets,
must be patient. The calls are numer-
ons, and though it requires time, II is
best for the city engineer to attend to
all cases, as thereby system will be in
troduced and money saved in the end.
The people may rest assured that the
peoples taxes viii be fairly distributed
in street improvementsin all parts OF
the city. mayor Cabell is constitutions

power to do equal justice to oil parts.
He has no pet spots or interests TO sway
his action. If the council will act on
the same principle, general satisfaction
Will be the result.
