SENATOR McLEARY's bill, designed not
only TO purge the bar of unworthy mem
bers, but to reproduce its original lofty
character should be perfected and enacted.
The bill should provide that the use of
clients money, without his consent, should
operate, upon motion, as the divestiture of
the attorney of his toga and acolytes should
be admitted to the bar, not as has become
the custom 10 many States, as a matter of
personal favor by the courts or examining
commission, but the aspirant should APP
pear in open cour; and have the case put
upon record "The State V. W. Blackstone
Blusterer." The States attorney should
defend the State, that the calamity in
volyed in the multiplication of loatng law
yers may not befall it, while the novtiate's
prOehisn ami urges the ''young sprigs' con-
version into ''limbr of the law. His ex-
animation coram judice will dissipate that
charming modesty which induced one of
them to write limbtcy for leg ICY for female
chent, buxom widow weighing ''240"
whether speed or avoirdupois were to be
measured While Mr.. McLeary is always
dong sensible things, we must confess our
uDmixed admiration for his conduct in
this behalf, and while he would elevate
the profession, once distinguished alike for
learning and honest worth, he should not
forget that there are other reforms indis-
pensabe to the well-being of society and
government much more needful even than
the transformation of the character and
conduct Of tie ever blessed lawyers.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-05-11

GALVESTON wants new charter, and a
full description of the new suit of corporate
clothes graces the pages of the CoHtD.0aer.
Our city fathers should read it. But this
reform of charters and laws Is no reform.
II is only sham, II hollow pretense de-
signed to satisfy restless, plundered tax
payers. The needful revolution goes be-
hind corporate grants and charters. 1t at
fects men who hold office. There is pur-
chasable vote in all our towns and counties.
II it cost in whisky or money one thousand
or ten thousand dollars, he who expends
il must get even and the people foot the
finally tells of the loss. When a plaeeman
must steal one thousand dollars, to refund
the cost of an election, he continues to
steal for the sheer love of filthy lucre, and
thus the corrupt suffrage, unrestricted even
in corporate and county elections, brings
measureless calamities upon the people.
We can't vote tax to build the narrow
gauge to Lanpasas because they who ex-
pend and administer the fund are not rep
resentatives of those who must vote and
pay the tax. If the Legislature would en-
rich towns aud cities and counties of Texas
it will assure the world of their future eco
nomical government by restricting suffrage
in local elections, through constitutional
amendment, to taxpayers.

The Marshall Herald should know

THE Marshall Herald should know that
HancOck's speech, made here, was hardly
designed to promote confessed impossi-
bility. He never had the ghost of a
chance to be United States Senator. His
strength IN this direction consisted in the
necessity for his being lifted cue of the
path that other ambitious men would pur-
sue Hancock must have known that it
was impossible to bully people into his
support. But has not Hancock out-gener-
aled those who served him Does not his
speech show that it was made for consump-
ton in New England and that he would
either be the tail of soft Democratic
Presidential ticket, or, failing in this, the
favorite of the Radicals in this Congress

If GIANT Numbered in not going to meet
Dom Pedro at New, York, and in sending
Fish instead, the prospects of Galveston
are bhghted. The beached city may be-
come total wreck, and simply because the
whole West may fail to make Galveston its
point of departure for Brazil. Brszirs
monarch may adopt no scheme involving
the establishment of a line of steamers
from Rio to Galveston. II would he very
bad and very sad. Therefore the anxiety
OF Galveston to induce Dom Pedro to visit
Texas, and then the mayor of Galveston
knows how to receive and honor kings, and
there will be no more Graut-like blunders
Fulton will go himself, and not send his
head clerk to meet the Emperor, and Full

THE hquire'-Iader, referring tolthe bill
affecting sales under trust deeds and by
sherlffs and the like, says that ''the prac-
tice of posting notices has become obsolete
in every State except this. No one attends
these sales for the simple reason the public
knows nothing of them and property is
bought in by interested parties at nomi-
nal price. 1t is to the interest of the debt
or and creditor that publication be made in
such 4 manner as to give the greatest pub
licity, and that can be done only by the
newspaper nearest the property. In this
way the public, not only in the immediate vi
cinity of the property but distance,
would know that a sale was to take place :"
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-05-11


TEXAN farmers will be pleased to know
that the foreign demand for cereals, which
should be freely supplied through Calves
ton or Houston, steadily increases. The
shipments for the past fifteen weeks of this
year are: Flour, 1854 barrels; wheat,
l,046, us bushels; corn, 206, Gle bushels.
In the shipments of corn meal, rye, oats
and peas, there is also a considerable excess
over last year. 1t is also worthy Of notice
that our exportatioss Of dry goods continue
to augment steadily, the total shipments
this year being eS, s57 packages, as against
5000 during the corresponding period last
year, 5O4S in 1874 and 1895 in 1878. These
facts show that the tariff system has
achieved Henry Clay's original purposes
aud that VIC now make cotton goods cheaper
than they can be produced abroad. The
business has been Stimulated by taking
money from farmers pockets sud giving it
10 mill owners. There is no longer need
for protection when Eugland's mills can
not monopoIze England's markets,

THE International Railroad has gone into
the newspaper business, and prints a
monthly like the Loi4e,card star. 1t would
cost less. and serve the company better
purpose, and give is plans much greater
publicity aud land greater salab.e vaIre, if
sums expended on :. waste paper were
paid 10 newspapers for advertising. Gra-
tuitous distribution doesn'r pay. People
40 not value enough 10 read that which
costs them nothing, aod railroad company
that has been served so generously by the
press along ITS Ioufe should hardly hesitate
to employ the press legi;imately which has
been wronged enough by accusations of
bribery when il only served the company
with fidelity because the company proposed
to serve the 8 ate. The company nov has
an opportunity to reward the press, and,
instead, it absolutely establishes a misera-
bic competing advertising agency, and.
worse than all this, ~ absolutely steals, ana
gives no credit for an article from the
STATESMAN, entitled The prairies, which
was embodied in pamphlet published by
this office. But the railroad is neither bet
ter nor worse than the average party leader.
He is made great by the newspaper, and,
when lifted up by public opinion, which
the press creates, lie forgets the hand that
served and brow that ached and printers
fingers that never slept that be might re-
pose on downy pillows SHAKESPEARE said
that some are born great and some have
greatness thrust upon them, but we have
learned that in most instances it is pumped
into them. And railway corporations have
much the same luck with men, and are
surely not the less ungrateful.

mRxIcO.-- PHOGR Ess or RRvOLU-
TGON.

Fuero, private letter from Saltille of
the twenty ultimo tells us, has elk
thousand men and Escobedo and Reyueltas
have joined him. They will capture Mata-
morls. Reyueltas, like Escobedo, the
conqueror Of Macmillan, is an excellent
soldier. What forces theSe two command
we are mot advised. Having passed Mon
terey on the twenty of March, we
should have news OF final conflict even
now. Disz's troops were passing through
Mier some days ago, moving towards Mon
terey to meet Escobedo. The forces of Diaz
consisted mainly Of Cortina's cattle thieves
and Toledo's deserters. Such soldiers and
such officers can have no confidence IN one
another. OF the result Of the encounter we
can have little doubt. However great the
ability OF Diaz, who used Brownsville as
the point whence he distributed orders and
organized forces, he can hardly afford to
give battle and IL he fight the triumph of
Escobedo aud OF the government is
almost absolutely certain. Then the
supremacy Of Lerdo for four years is
assured with the reign of law and
order aud progress. Meanwhile the Inter
national road will enter the country and
crown with prosperity a revolution be-
gun by Juarez and perfected by Lerdo
whose relations to Juarex were those Of
Seward to Lincoln. Lerdo is the boider Of
the two reformers. He dared to shake of
even the fettersupon freedom imposed by the
church and substitute conservative repub-
licanism for anarchy on the one hand and for
centralized despotism on the other. He is
sustained BY all classes Of religious people
who concur in the opinion that the church
is one thing and civil government quite an
other; and II he triumph, as We do not
doabL in this conflict between Diaz and
Escobedo, the peace of the country viii be
speedily restored and the sona libvs ek
empted from incursions OF cortinas and
other thieves. ssas

men, is said to be in the vicinity of Mon
terey. He is marching towards the Rio
Grande with the purpose of destroying or
capturing Diaz. Diaz is half Spanish and
half Aztec, a great lawyer and soldier.
Escobedo. the defender of Lerdo. is Span
lard of magnificent proportions and espe-
cially distinguished by his large head, to
which are appended pair of enormous
ears, very like those of mule rabbit.
Cortina is half Indian and Spanish, and is
stout hne-looking, fearless, highway
man, fifty five or sixty years old.
