CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

We are glad to see very general
and earnest feeling throughout the
state to select experienced and pru-
dent men to the constitutional conven-
ton. Men who are no longer in the
line of political aspiration, but who
prefer retirement in the future, are
likely to be chosen in very cOnsidera-
ble numbers. The people realize the
advantage of selecting men for this
important work who, besides being 9TH
erwise worthy and capable, are also fa-
miliar with our past constitutional and
statutory laws. Texas has lost, within
few years, some men of pre-emin-
ent qualifications for the duties of the
convention, prominent among whom
were the late NJ. NJ. Potter, B. G.
franklin and +. II. Merriman, of Gal
weston; Peter w. Gray, of Houston;
Wilson G. Mcfarland, of Bell; Thomas
II. Stribling, OF Bexar; J. J. Holt, of
ia ,kson and others. But abundant
material remains in men of ripe age,
who would not now seek to shine in
legislative bodies from choice, but
would doubtless do so in the conven-
ton for so short time. Among
such men we find Charles L. Cleveland,
of Galveston; J. ID. Giddings, of WASH
ington; Henry C. King, of Kendall;
G. NJ. Winkler, of Navarro; +. NJ.
White, of Jackson; VIM. Stedman, of
Harrison; Chas. DE Morse, of Red River,
and many others. Were it not for an
inhibitory clause in the present consti-
tuition (section thirty, Of article three,
numerous others now in public posi-
tions might well be named as conspic-
uously worthy Of such a trust, as
Throckmorton, Reagan, Roberts,
Reeves, Pendergrast, Broadus, Devine,
Ector, and others. OF course there
will be a fair representation Of worthy
and able men not so long identified
with the state and its affairs. This Is
also desirable, in order that in the
body we shall have the advantage of
diversified talent, a fair comparison Of
different state politics, and a greater
guarantee of working out a constitu-
ton which shall have a long and bene-
ficent existence in the state.

National Tree Culture,

A bit of gossip is going the rounds
oc the press telling how n certain
good citizen recently cut down an
immense oak tree on his premises,
because its gigantic size and won
derful beauty drew SO many visitors.
The tree had passed its second CEN
tury of life, and deserved a better
fate. Its fall brought forcibly to
mind the saying of an ancient lover
Of the forest. that the man who
would wantonly kill shade tree
would slay one of his fellow
creatures. 1t would be sad to be-
lieve this, however, for the waste of
forest trees in our land has been in
discriminate and universal. So far
has it gone that in some parts of
New England and the middle states
largo manufactures arc kopt in on
forced idleness during part Of the
winter months by reason of the
drouth, and the character of the soil
in other sections has undergone a
change for the worse. 1t would not
be bad idea if the north should
follow the example of the west in
avaiing itself Of the provision made
by national legislation for the ell
couragement of tree planting. In
Minnesota, since the act in question
was passed, fifteen million trees
have been planted in about seven
thousand acres. In addition to the
number planted on private places,
and not embraced in the assessors s
returns and on the railroad lines,
will bring the total for the state up
to 2O,OOO,OOO. This is just so much
solid wealth added to the Golfers of
the state, and tho trouble has been
comparatively trifing. In the great
decrease of forest trees, the item of
a national system of tree culture is
big with the promise of future
riches.-[N. Y. Commercial Adver-
tiser.

EIGHTEEN years ago, yesterday
April II, 1857, snow to the depth ol
two or three inches lay on the ground
in Dallas. The wheat which was joint

the same fate. Notwithstanding this,
wheat came out from suckers, and pro-

THE REAL ISSUE.

The Hon. William NJ Kvarts' remark that
he did not think there were tone hundred
men in this country who realize how near we
are to . complete change in the form of our
government" seems to meet the approval OF
fhe St Louis Republican, for it says: s'The
approaching Presidential campaign will not
merely decide whether this or that man shall
occupy the Executive chair, whether this OF
that partv shall hold the reins Of power, but
whether the government, q our fathers made
it. shall stand or fall. This Is the issue, the
only issue, and unless the American people
recognise It and act accordingly, they deserve
10 share the fate which has overtaken I'll other
republics and now threatens our owl"
IF that issue presents itself, . It may.
We want no talk about old party diner
ences. The whole people must unite to
meet the terrible attack on free institu
lions.
If that issue comes there will be found
men and journals in our own ranks, in
the pay Of the enemy, hired to distract
and divide US.
And If that issue is not coming Why
does Grant refuse to say he is not can
didate while State after State is lost to
his party! Is he not reducing that
party to the chance Of success with him
or the certainty Of defeat without him

has population Of $4,000 J; and her
wealth aggregates sao4, 100000. She is
more populous and more than twice as

$4,000.
Or take the great, progressive State OF
Illinois. Illinois contains 2559,ool IN

she has more than five times our popula-
ton and more than five times our wealth.
Illinois has o7aa Normal school TO wtach
she gipes $l2,500 per gear. And, by the
way, that one school graduates nearly

California has one Normal school, to
which she gives $4,000 per annum.
Connecticut has enc Normal school, to
which she gives $4,000 per annum.
Iowa has one Normal school, supported

No wonder this man Phelps understand
that blackguard abuse is the only weapon
wherewith to defend such outrageous ant

There must be a change; two Of thes
schools must be stopped; and all the sign
indicate that Phelps is so rapidly popu
larising the Winona school that that il
stitution will be the first to 60 under.
The State needs another Insane Asy

lature feels that the State can afford t
spend, in training teachers, let it 60 t

TIE DEmOCRACY.

In accordance with our usual plan OF
giving all sides of question afair hearing,
we print elsewhere letter from H. H.
Young, Esq, of Rochester. Mr.. Young
has been identified with the Anti-Mono2-
oily party since its birth, and has worked
hard and zealously for its principles.
While we are pleased to have his views
we cannot quite agree with him. The
Democratic party is not, by any means,
a dead or decaying organization. All
over the Union it is developing immense
strength, and has within the last year
gained decided and decisive victories.
Such party, in the full tide Of triumph
cannot, in the nature of things, be expect
ed to disband at the call Of an Uniformed
and unorganized sentiment; sectional
perhaps, or local. Men who have with
stood the successive shocks Of fifteen
years Of continuous defeats, with fideli.
ty which challenges the admira.
ton of the world, can not
be expected to break ranks in the face Of
flying enemy.
For one we make no such request. We
have labored to convince Democrats that
the public mind represents every shade
Of political sentiment, from the ultr'
Democrat to the ultra Republican = from
Judge!Flandrau to O. Brown and tina
the party which wins the support Of tina
large, floating, central vote, midway be
tween both extremes, and partaking Q
the prejudices Of neither, will win success
This floating vote may be fairly terme
Anti Monopolists; they are greupe
around certain central principles, We
understood. q

Of our institutions rests on the intelli
