TIE Teras Herald, now published at FL
lis, talks most sensibly. 1t asks no "pat-
ronage," but proposes to give quid pro
quo. If people want good newspaper,
that their wives and children may not be
disgracetully ignorant of events about their
own homes and abroad, they must needs pag
for the Herald. One fact is fixed, they will
not receive the paper till the owners have
the cash for it. 1t is surely time that
Texan newspapers had adopted the policy
of the. Herald. Nothing so degrades the
press as dependence. The people owe it
everything, and yet there are newspapers
praying for patronage" 1t is shameful.

A NAN named Solon is building the jail

Greece, and now, SINCE Solon himself has
undertaken to give Texas decent prisons,
the age and country in which we live will
no longer be dlsgraced by barbarities in a
system Of prison discipline Teyolting in all
its incidents and disgraceful in al its facts.

A WORTHY denizen of Fort Worth stands
upon the tomb Of the century and looks
back from the Fort to the ruins Of some

the dreary spectacle with unequivocal, un-

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Ners, writing
from the City Of Mexico, says Of President

slowly but surely advancing in the path Of
intellectual and material development.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT NUGA-
TORY.

Judge Emmons, of the Federal circuit
bench, who announced last week that the
civil rights act was unconstitutional is an
original, straight Republican, and, for all
that, an honest, upright judge, of greater
ability than majority of those filing
places upon the woolsack at Washington.
He believes that it is the exclusive province
of States to protect the civil and religious
rights of citizens; the punishment Of muir
der, arson, or the distractions to the right
of attending church, public schools, thea
tres, and forcing the way of being accom-
modated in inns and common carriages in
the State, were not only matters not granted
to the general government, but, in the Con-
stitution itself, expressly reserved to the
State. In response to an inquiry made by
the United States grand jury, Judge EN-
mons SAID: f
You ask whether it is crime for which
you have the right to find an indictment
that a negro has been denied the full and
equal enjoyment of accommodations, ad-
vantages, facilities and privileges of thea
not an offense over which Congress can give
this court jurisdiction. These are matters
which the State government alone controls.
Parties who think themselves aggrieved
can bring their civil action in this court at
once. Any decision we may then make can
be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

it may finally supplant the later
Ocean as the receptacle Of filth
that dozes out of the brains of nameless
wandering BOhemians. The Legislature of
Tennessee was weak enough to be entrap
ped, and advertised the Times as it wished,
and now the Times would have the State
government OF Texas bend to its purposes
and give it another effective advertisement.

these is the Times. They need only be

WE MUST RETURN TO IND USTR Y
IND ECONOMY,

The people of the. United States are
quite generally, at this time, well con-
WINGED Of the disagreeable position our
fair land occupies in the eyes ofthe world,
and that there is good reason lor this
opinion.
What change has taken place i'll the
character of our General Government
since James Buchanan surrendered the
White House to A braham Lincoln ON the
4th of March, 1861 From being care
fully and economically managed-"the
cheapest government on earth"-it has
become one OF the NEST expensive and
corrupt.
ms Is an admitted proposition gener-
ally. We need only to name Credit Mo-
Dlller, custom House Frauds, District
hllg operations, winch are a disgrace to
the country. Even now Congressional
committee are investigating the Pacific
Mail subsidy, and the developments al.
ready promise another chapter of corrup-
ton and Congressional trickery.
In keeping with these are the corrup.
tlon ana Oareiaced carpet bag Yillainies
enacted in South Carolina. Louisiana and
other Southern States. Andin the north.
ern portion OF the Union we may point
to New York and Philade phia as no ex-
ception to the rule. Indeed, we fear that
Canto'' might furnish "Boss," though
ON smaller scale, worthy of comparison
with BOSS" Tweed himself MANY other
places might furnish similar cases
This condition of things is so general
that we must look to general cause OF
causes. The recklessness flowing from,
terrible war may be considered as the
foundation and added to this the villain
les and corrupt legislation during and
since the war may be looked on as the
cowningcause ofthe fostering corruption
and prohigacy pervading the administers
ton of public affairs. A rotten currency
affects values and renders business lot.

A dispatch from Paris announces that
Ledru Rollin died on the 3lst. The de-
ceased was a distinguished French social
ist and Radical Republican and was born
in 1908. His family name was Ledru, to
which he added that Of Rolin. In l84l
he was elected to the Chamber of Depu-
ties by the voters Of Mans, and became
the chief orator of the extreme gauche or
ultra Democrats. During the Revolution
of February, lS4S he entered the Cham
Der when the Regency of the Duchess Of
Orleans was under discussion. Ae was
chosen by acclamation as member of
the provisional government, and became
Minister of the Interior. He was cen
sured for an attempt to prescribe the de-
feated party; but he is said to have saved
the Government from the violence of the
insurgents on the 10th of April. He lost
his popularity with the masses and retir-
ed fro.G power in June, 1913, when Cav
aignac became Dictator, In December
lS4S, he was defeated for the Presi-
dency. In June, IS49, he demanded the
impeachment Of the President, and, when
this was refused called on his partisans
rise in arms. The few who obeyed this
call were quickly dispersed, and Rollin
escaped to England where he remained
many years. Awaiting himself of the
general amnesty, he returned to France
in 1870.

SENSI BILE TALK.-The new Lieutenant
Governor Of the State of New York, Mr..
Dorsheimer, made speech in response
to serenade one evening last week in
which he said. There are those who eX-
press doubts as to the possibility of long
continued action by the Liberal Repub-
lican and Democratic party. 1t seems
to me, however, to be entirely possible
to act with the Democratic party in the
future as we now do, and have done in
the past; For the principles which the
Democratic party of New York have pro-
fessed are the principles which were de-
clared at Cincinnati, and they must be
the principles which shall be adoptedby
the opposition in 1876, and, standing
upon the platform Of Cincinnati, we stand
upon the same grouni IS lnAt occupied
BY the Democrats III tnClr platform adopt
ed at Syracuse; and it seems to me to be
the part OF wisdom and high PATRIOTISM
that we in the future unite with the De
mocracy, For myself have to say that

petuate and bind more closely the union
WHICH now exists, to the end that in the
great Presidential campaign of 1876, the
misrule which now exists, both at the
North and South as well, may be swept
away, and that the great Centennial OF
cur National independence may be eel
ebrated in the worthy manner that such
celebration deserves; not by the exhi-
bition of the industries of the country
only, but by perpetuating those great
ainciples upon which the Republic was
