THE INTERNATIONAL bond DECA



The Waco EXAMINER, an exchange
that we always read with care, both on
account of the ability manifested In
It's columns and because II IL supposed
to reflect the views of Governor Coke
on questions of state policy, closes
lengthy editorial on the recent decision
of the supreme court In the mandamus
case In the following language;
This decision teaches another lesson,
and that Is, that the time has passed
away forever, IN Texas, when railroad
or other corporations can or will be
permitted to dictate either To the peo-
pie, the Legislature, the governor orthe
supreme court. Their actions will be
squared by strict justice toward every
interest, material or otherwise, but can
only be invoked through considerations
of grace alone, and In the future all
the power of railroads, and eager
money, subsidized advantage hunters
Gun neither cujole nor dragoon the gov
eminent into giving into their hands
the hard-earned treasure of the state.
The pressure brought TO bear upon
the court, pending the argument, was
wonderful. The decision establishes
the fact that no pressure, however
strong or skilfully handled, could or
can, swerve 1t from its duty. The whip
of railroad power was cracked over the
heads of the court in vain.
Immediately after the passage of the
compromise bill In April, the Interna-
tional commenced fighting our credit
In Wall street, In order to force the de-
cision of the court in their favor. This
line was pursued until the decision was
rendered. Then, behold the change.
See how rapidly they changed front,
and how soon they set about to repair
the damage they had done, well UNI
Outstanding that they can get no re-
lief until that great injury is fully and
amply repaired, and atoned for.
We treat this subject thus fully, be-
cause we deem it only right that the
people should understand the injury
sought to be done their best and truest
interests, by this company, and their
mercenaries, their bought and paid for
advocates. Texas has ever been, and
will ever be, liberal to railroad enter
prises; but while that is to be the case,
she proposes, ut the same time, to be
just MS we'll as generous. The present
state administration does not propose
to see n principle established, by which
the people are to become. merely the
hewers Of wood, and drawers of water,
for railroad corporations, while at the
same time 1t Will guard and protect
the rights of such cOrpo rations with
the same Jealous care that it does
those of the people themselves.

SENATOR TENTON ON THE THIRD
TERM QUESTION,

ii. V. Redtield, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, interviewed Senator Fen
ton, of New York, few days ago to
find out what the senator knew about
Grants ambitiouspurposes in reference
to an extension of his official life
Senator Fenton says that there is no
doubt that Grant is candidate for a
third term, and that he is working for
1t with all the legitimate means at his
command. Furthermore, he says that
Grant Is q man of great shrewdness,
unfaltering perseverance and CONSUME
mate obstinacy; that when he makes
up his mind in certain direction one
had as well try to turn Niagara from
It's course at the rapids as to turn him.
He expresses tho opinion that, If the
election were to come off this year,
Grant would be elected in spite of fate,
because the opposition to him could
not be concentrated at present. When
asked by his interviewer what ele-
ments Grant was looking to for sup
port In his third term scheme, Senator
Fenton replied as follows:
think 1t likely he would prefer an
election from the people, irrespective
of any party. Just now he is arranr.
ing matters In the south. His hold Il

lump, and he is showing fair side to
the whites-the ex-rebel military ele-
ment, like Gordon, Mostly and KEN
per. The southern people would glad
ly accept third term or fourth term,
or any number of terms, If they could
have friend In the presidential chair,
one whom they had helped to elect,
and whom they could approach for
favors. They cannot hope to elect a
democrat as democrat-that is i'm
posi- ble--and the notion Is getting into
their heads that the next best thing
they can do Is to take Grant for third
term. They care less down there about
breaking over custom than we do.

The greatest enthusiasm seems to
prcvade the entire district in favor of
Governor Throckmorton for congress.
Every precinct and county convention
in the district have declared in favor
of him. The citizens of Forney pre-
cinct in this county, held II meeting
last Saturday, and instructed its dele
gates to the county convention to vote
for rhrockmorton. We are satisfied
that our delegates to the district con-
vention will be similarly instructed
Grayson, Collin, Dallas and Rockwell

A Coal Mine on Fire.

For some time past thousands of per-
sons have been attracted to Willkesbarre,
Pa, by the unusual spectacle of a burn
ing coal-mine. The mine in question is
about mile from the city, and the scene
about the air-shaft, at the bottom of
which was placed the engine that set fire
to the coal, is one of utter desolation, the
earth for eight or ten acres in area hav--
ing sunk from 10 to - feet and cracked
open in many places, from which col
umns of smoke, steam and suffocating gas
are constantly issuing. The trees and
grass are all withered and scorched, the
earth having been nearly red-hot during
its fiercest burning. The place looks like
the crater of an extinct volcano, from
whose ragged edge immense cracks radiate
for several hundred feet in every direc-
ton, while strata of the hardest rock are
snapped off as if they were only pie-crust.
As the fire below burns away the support,
the surface continues to fall, and visitors
who venture near the crater and crevices
carry their lives in their hands, though
no life has yet been lost. About 40 rods
from the burning shaft is one that the
fire has not reached, and from the bottom
of this visitors are treated to vivid re-
presentation of the lake of fire and brim-
stone, for here are whole acres of glowing
coal. The supposed roar of the fire sounds
like distant waterfall. No smoke or
flame arises from this mass, except a
lambent blue blaze, that leaps up at fitful
intervals and dies out as soon as formed.
A large force of laborers has been EN-
ployed for weeks dumping earth into
those fissures through which the fire is
supplied with air, many thousand wheel
barrow-loads having been used for this
purpose, and on the north side of the
mine cars are loaded at the place of ex'
cavation, run on trestling to an opening
where it is dumped down a shute, and
then taken on other cars to where high
embankment is building to stop the fire
in that direction. As soon as the access
of air is completely stopped, the fire viii
gradually go out, and work will be re
sumed at the neighboring shafts.

Death of the First.BOrn.

I stand in a darkened room before a
little casket that holds the silent form
of my frst-born. My arm is around the
wife and mother who weeps over the
lost treasure, and can not, till tears have
their way, be comforted. l had not
thought that my child would die-that
mn child could die. knew that other
children had died, but felt safe. We
laid the little fellow close to his grand
father; we strewed his grave with
flowers, and returned to our saddened
home with hearts united in sorrow as
they had never united in joy, and with
sympathies forever opened toward all
who are called to kindred grief. l
wonder where he is to-day, in what ma
ture of angelhood he stands, how he will
look when 1 meet him, how he will
make himself known to me, who has
been his teacher! He was like me !;
will his grandfather know him? l never
can cease thinking of him as cared for
and led by the same hand to which my
own youthful fingers clung, and as hear
ing from the fond lips of my own father
the story of my fathers eventful life. l
feel how wonderful has been the minis
try of my children, how much more
have learned from them than they have
learned from mellow by holding my
own strong life in sweet subordination
to their helplessness they have taught
me patience, selfsacrifice, selfcOntrol,
truthfulness, faith, simplicity and
purity.
All! this taking to ones arms little
group of souls, fresh from the hand OF
God, and living with them in loving
companionship through all eirstainles'
years, is, or ought to be, like living IN
heaven, for of such is the heavenly
kingdom. To one of these am / more in
debted than the boy who went away
from me before the world had touched
him With a stain. The key that shut
him in the tomb was the only key that
could unlock my heart, and let in
among its sympathies the world of sor
rowing men and women who mourn be
cause their little ones are not.
The little graves, alas, how many they
are! The mourners above them, how
vast the multitude! Brothers, sisters,
am one with you. / press your hands,
weep with you. trust with you. / be
long to you. Those waxen, folded hands
that still breast, so often pressed warn
to our own, those sleep-bound eyes which
have been so full of love and life, tina
sweet, unmoving, alabaster face-ah W,
have all looked on them, as they hav
made us one, and made us better. Their
is no fountain which the angel of heal
ing troubles with his restless and life
giving wings so constantly as the foun
tain Of tears, and only those too lame ant
bruised to bathe with the blessed in
fluence.-Dr. j. q. Holland.

Strong Men.

Strength of character consists of two
things; power of will and power of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for its existence; strong feelings and
a strong command over them. Now, we
all very often mistake strong feelings for
strong character. A man who bears all
before him, before whose wild burst of
fury the children Of the household quake,
because he has his own way in all things,
we call him n strong man, The truth Is,
he is weak man; IL is his passions that
are strong; he, mastered by them, is
weak.
You must measure the strength of q
man by the power of the feelings he sub
dues, not by the power of those that sub.
due him. And hence, composure is often
the highest resdlt of strength. Did We
ever see man receive fragrant injury,
and then reply calmly? That man i,
morally strong. Or did we ever see q
man in anguish stand as if carved out o.
solid rock, mastering himself? Or one
bearing a hopeless daily trial remain
silent, and never tell the world what
cankered his home peace? That II
strength. He who, with strong passions
remains chaste; he who, with indignation
within him, can be provoked and yet re
strain himself and forgive, those ar'
strong men, the moral heroes,
