TIE terribly fierce, economical plan Of
doing the public printing doesn't seem to
pan out very we'll. Nobody knows to-day,
except the blessed lawgivers and his Ex-
cellency, under what code Texas exists.
The acts of the Legislature have been In
force for some time, and none know what
interests are affected or aims and acts made
lawless by the statutes. 1t hardly pays, In
any event, to have public printing done
outside Of the capital, where there arc six
or eight competing establishments to re-
duce prices to minimum. Proofs must be
sent back and forth by railway or stage
coach, the process is tedious, and imperfect
work and imperfect corrections and worse
proof-reading are absolutely certain. But
public economy must always make news
paper its special victim. Demagogues can
make themselves immensely conspicuous by
attacking or robbing newspaper of dime
whsr thcy sspsndsr hundreds of thousands
in perquisites aud clerks, and nobody ever
hears oft. His Exeellency's was supposed
70 be an adroit dodge when he undertook to
rise upon the ruins Of the newspaper press
that made him what he is.

THE difficulties that environ his Excel
lency excite not little interest among tbs
lawyers. Many of them are curious to
know how his Excellency can get rid of too
much office now thrust upon him by ad-
miring millions. II he cannot resign one
Office he cannot hold the other, and there
stands Morton at one end of the line to
crack him over tho skull, and here stands
Ireland and Hancock and Shepard and the
rest to gobble the senatorship if his Excel
lency lose it. 1t is a sad dilemma. When
Hubbard convenes the Legislature he will
not make it part OF the business of that
body to act on Governor Coke's resignation,
and if he fail In this the Legislature cannot
act, and it is infinitely easier, some @ the
lawyers say, for Governor Coke to shuttle
off this mortal coil than the office that now
invests him. The best course for his Ex-
cellency to pursue will consist in having
his pet organ over at Waco publish his
obituary. We can have funeral down here,
and Morton and the Senate, thinking the
Governor dead, will admit the Senator, and
everything will be lovely. Let us have a
first class funeral.

SOME Of the most terrible desperadoes in
Texas are in the Austin Jail. The story is
current on the streets that the friends Of
each of these men are in and about the CAPT.
tai in strong force and that the number of
these will be greater. An assault upon the
Jail is therefore possible and two trust
worthy men should always be on guard
within its walls. Then any attack from
without must fail. Governor Coke now
has the worst of his enemies and of society

GRANT Is DEAD--LoSG LIVE rae
KING.

All newspapers printed yesterday or on
any former day are of no more practical use
than if published fifty years ago. Gen.
Shelley finds In this an explanation of the
fact to which he adverted in his speech
Monday evening at the Opera House. News
paper readers no longer listen to stump
speeches with the earnest svidity that char
aeterized the multitude in the ante -Noa-
chian (ante- belium) period. The electric
freshness Of telegraphic dispatches is want
ing in decorations which an orator may en-
Irvine as green leaves about his figures Of
speech. Aud then the listener must listen,
whether bored or delighted, when he sits
before the rostIun; but II q stupid ha-
rangue unfortunately find its way into type
the modest citizen may read or not, as in
clinstion prompts.
The professional stump speaker must 90
west. His morals may not, but attalnments
must, finally corral him with those wild
fellows who can only live and breathe and
think in the open air, where the winds are
unconfned and stars shine more brilliantly
than in lands in whcih light from heaven,
descending like the blessed showers Iof
springtime, comes upon US through the
press and pulpit alone. The newspapers OF
the past four years are also dead ard were
solemnlY entombed with sad memories OF
Grants reign, when yesterdays sun went
down. There is a new world before US,
and the voyaging press will daily explore
and describe it. Grant, too, is dead. We

The Galveston Netos deems the fact of
sufficient Importance to people everywh ere
in the United States to announce it on it's
editorial page that c. r. Johns g. Co., be
cause Of absurdIties injected into the new
Constitution, will send special agent, for
whose acts these bankers are responsible,
into every county in Texas each year to
pay taxes, quiet titles and sell or buy lands.
The jugglers who made this necessary
wronged non-residents and the old SOL
diers and their heirs, and proposed to rob
these people and their children and every
body else owning land beyond the counties
in which they live. Taxes must now be
paid in the counties IN which the land lies.
1t was not enough to have it assessed there
and the money paid into the State Treasury.
The honest plan cheated local land pirates
and sbysters, and these are the fellows
that were made happy by the Rutabagas,
and these are now thwarted Of their pur-
poses by G. r. Johns & Co.

LEON GAMBETTA.

A passage in the New Testament says:
" And if thine eye offend thee pluck it
ont and cast it from thee" Leon Gam
beta, the inv incible republican agitator,
il said to have deliberately destroyed his
left eye when he was boy at school, if
not exactly in obedience to the divine
command, yet because he disliked to
study the language in which this man
date was originally written. Gambetta
hated Greek, and did his utmost to get
excused from studying it. But when he
found that his entreatiea were of no
avail with his father, he threatened to
destroy his vision. Gambetta pere. a
stern and resOlute man, who deemed it a
wise fathers duty to thwart whims of an
obstinate boy, was immoVabIe, and told
Leon he could pluck out his eyes if he
chose, not of course for one moment sup
posing the possibility of such thing.
Enraged at this wholly unexpected an
swer, young Gambetta tore his left eye
from its socket, and informed his father
that the right should go to keep com.
pany with the left if there were no other
way of escape from study of the hated
language. Happily for France, his
father, recognizing the indomitable will
Of his son, at once yielded the point.
