THE LITERARY SOCIETY.

On Wednesday evening the Literary
Society was held in the Methodist
Episcopal church, south of the school
house, was not large enough for that
purpose. We are sorry to say that our
friends and patrons could not be COM
fortably accommodated, and we sim
cerely wished that our building had
been two or three times larger, so as
to accommodate all and more too, If
necessary. The meeting was called to
order by the President, Mr.. s. S. Skid
more, of Los Nietos, the opening ad-
address was delivered by Col. Thorn,
of Los Angeles. His speech was lis
tened to very attentively, and was
very interesting, receiving the reward
Of hearty cheers. Other speeches were
made, and few compositions read
that was worthy of much praise.
THE LITERARY GEM.
Finally came the interesting paper
which Is called the Literary Gem"
1t was whitten by Miss Charlie Tarver,
and fine paper it was. The contri-
buttons which filled It's Interesting col
umns were composed chiefly by the
members of the Society. Many laugh
able articles were read by our worthy
editress, for which she deserves much
praise.
TUESDAY EVENING EXERCISES.
On Tuesday evening the exercises of
the school were held In the same
building. The house was we'll filled by
the time it was fairly dark, and spec
tators continued to come until there
was scarcely room enough out of doors.
Speeches and compositions too numer-
GUS to mention were spoke and read
by the pupils until our patience was
getting somewhat wearied, when it
was cheered up by some excellent mu-
sic by our young ladies. We call it ex-
cellent because it was first rate for new
beginners. 1t is true they could not
make as good music as some who have
made it lifetime practice, but their
proficiency was surprising.
THE INDEPENDENT.
Then came our school paper, called
the Independent, edited by Miss
Sallie Ardis. We are sorry to say
that the audience was in such confu-
sion that the editress got SO confused
that it was impossible for her to read
it any further, so she took her seat and
the paper was handed to the editress
of the Literary Gem, and she took the
paper and finished it. Miss s. A. was
not to blame for her failing, for she
had not read the paper over often
enough to get thoroughly acquainted
with 1t, and another thing, 1t was not
her penmanship, and the worst Of all
was, that she did not have self-conf-
dence Ia sufficient qualities. We wish
her better luck the next time, and q
long life to the Independent.

SENATOR 7RRLAND on ms TRAv.

Yankee enterprise and vim aud practical
wisdom are illustrated in the fact that Mas
sachusetts, where everybody reads and
writes, where every man and woman is self
supporting, where people grow rich and
build pretty cottages on stony hill-sides
even where we would starve, where there
is a church and school house and railway
in every valley-even here among the most
practical, money-loving people in the world,
the sum of THIRTEEN MILLIONS has been ex-
pended, by the State mark you, in cutting
q railway tunnel four and three-fourths of
a mile long in order to connect two cities,
Boston and Albany. What ignorant, stupid
fools those Boston people must bel Sena-
tor John Ireland, of Texas, says he would
incontinently leave Texas if the down
trodden State take of his blessed property
to invest the pitiful sum of three millions
in work even more benefcent than BOs-
ton ever dreamed of. The International
unites two empires; one of forty and an
other of nine millions of people making the
wealth of both tributary to that of Texas.
Couldn't Senator Ireland be spared the few
brief years of his well-spent (D life while
Texas perfects plain unquestioned processes
of aggrandizement And must Texas be-
come Niobe of undying grief if Ireland
depart when the International comes 2
What desert he will leave behind him
full Of towns and villages and smiling farms
and pretty homes. We do hope Ireland
won't go. God pity the hopeless country

surdly crooked line, will the people Of
Texas forget to curse even Democrats
Must ten millions of wealth be expelled
from the State that some town or city like
Austin or Sherman may have a thousand
inhabitants, more or less It signi-
hes nothing whether 4 road 60 to
any given point. The builders Of railways
are the country's benefactors and cities and
towns should be made to know how fear
fully they betray the true interests of Texas
anC how significant their littleness becomes
when they defeat great scheme of public
good because there may be few dollars
made oFlost by corner groceries in an interior
village. But there are no such lawgivers in
the Legislature of Texas. They who have
voted unwisely in this behalf have only
been misled by the cunning wlles and
''tricks that are vain" Of the one central
corporation Of Texas which would protract
indefinitely the woes and poverty and
wrongs Of Western Texas rather than sur
render the lone man power" with which
this central railway Is now invested.

THE Messenger has misconceived US. The
STATESMAN never dreamed of threatening
the great State Of Texas. Even Is potent
a combination OF capitalists as the Interna-
tiOnal Railway Company would never con-
ceive Of such folly. But that such eorpo-
ration, or its members, could do more to
serve Texas, where Texas may most need
the intervention Of friends, than any other
agency Of moral and money power, even the
Messenger can hardly doubt. That this
company did intervene 70 prevent COlze's
election and Davis's restOntiOa to power,
is a fixed fact. We mentioned it to
show that the denunciation and prejudice
sought to be aroused against the company
was wholly baseless and indefensible.

THE Dallas Herald is the best preacher
that ever went, a missionary, in the wilds of
Texas. 1t stands up every day in its pulpit
in Dallas, and, with an eloquence and force
never Outrivaled, breaches the gospel of
honest, hard work. The Dallas rabble that
enriches Dallas bar-rooms, dance houses
and dens of unutterable lnfamy, listen and
shrink before the austere presence of the
vigorous, fearless preacher. The voice of
the Herald is heard everywhere. Vice can
not escape it or crime elude it or close its
ears or stifle its conscience, and knavery in
Dallas covers before the potency of the
press. Seemingly silent, it is the paragon
of orators. 1t is noiseless, yet its deep foot
prints are visible everywhere. 1t is erial in
lightness and nothingness, and yet brushes
opposition even as it overwhelms vice by its
resistless weight. A weekly pulpit sermon,
addressed to a few hundred people, avails
much in maintaining order and fixing sure
foundations for a perfect civilization; but
daily sermons of a newspaper emanatlng
from a sound head borne about by the very
impersonation Of patriotism, are not I'M
worthy, in effectiveness and value, of at
least modest comparison with the eloquence
and benefceAce of the greatest preacher
who Portrays the crimes of man and sinless-
ness of the Son of Man.

THE ONE MAN POwER OF ONR
RAILWAY.


liz Is a terrihla- NsinbA- Of responsibility
that rests upon that wing of the Demo-
cratic party which destroys railway progress
in Texas. The question whether Repub-
lican or Democrat shall rule at Washington,
and whether Democracy or Radicalism hold
Federal offices, may be very important
to those that are hungry for them; but,
here in Texas, fifteen million acres Of the
States lands have been absorbed by rail-
roads, the largest share Of this vast terri
tory by corporation whose representative
stands in his place and tells another road
that 1t shall no. enter Texas unless it become
his serf and bondsman. In the presence Of
this railway magnate the little fellows skulk
to their hiding places, and one mighty cor
pOratOn demands supremacy over another,
and half Of Texas viii be sacrificed that

SEND THE sTORx ABROAD.


If people in the East inquire why Texas
prospers as never before, and why Louis
lana, Mississippi, and portions of other
Southern States are desolated, they should
be informed that negro mastery is every
where fatal to honesty in Office, and that
five per cent. is the average rate of taxation
upon property wherever taxes are imposed
by blacks, or by people elected by blacks.
Texas is not negro-governed. Negroes are
gregarious, and ART gathered very rapidly
about the purlieus of towns and cities.
These are ravaged by thieves elected by
negroes co-Operatingwith the floating white
rabble. If Texas would have towns and
cities ever fOurishing, and ever free from
burdens of taxation, added to the cost of
goods, and finally paid By farmers, the Con-
stitution Of Texas should be so amended,
and at once, that the Legislature may re-
strict suffrage, in all town, city and county
elections, to freeholders. Then thief in
Office must rob himself, and destroy the
value of his own property when he de-
stroys that of others. So importantis the
attainment of this end, as shown in the
relative conditions of rabble-ruled Louis
lana, and of Texas, as ruled by white:peo-
pie, that, if for no other reason, the present
Constitution of Texas should be reformed.
When Northern people ask why Texas
prOspers, and why the best population of
the whole South and of Middle and North
western States seek homes in Texas, we
find the answer in the simple fact that
Texas is a white mans State, redeemed
by courage and sacrifice first from red men,
and then from saffron-faced Mexicaus, and
never intended by God Almighty to be vic
timized and desOlsted at last by Africans.
