UNFAlH.


The promoters of our proposed new Con-
stitution, which it is notorious was COM
promise made to avert the dIscredit of a
total failure and which does not suit those
who made it, or anybody else except the
Radicals who are ehuekliug over it, are
proceeding to secure its acceptance by prac-
tices which are unfair. They know that in
order to make the people swallow it, it is
only necessary to have certain railroad men
to make show of opposition to it and the
Radicals to get up convention and pass
resolutions denouncing 1t. Thus much of
their programme is arranged. If they
can, ID order ITO make assurance doubly
sure" they will get Radical newspaper
started in Houston in order to make an ap-
parent war against it. Everybody knows
that the Radicals are anxious to have it &C
cepted, provided it is done without their
votes, because it is peculiarly distasteful to
the people, and they feel sure that it is
bound to cause reaction. The combina.
ton secretly and for different ends working
to force the adoption of the Constitution
will bear watching. '"'-'-

HOW TO SAVE HOI srON.

There is only one mode of securing the
payment ef bonds of States and counties
and cities ravaged by thieves thrust into
office 10y universal suffrage. If the holders
of these bonds, whether of States or coun-
ties or cities, will invest them in railways
for the behoof of the people taxed to pay
the bonds, the city or county or State will
be so enriched that payment becomes easy,
the debt relatively trifing, and the people
becoming, for labor and food, the owners
of the bonds, Can use the coupons to pay
their own taxes. There is no other mode
of escape for both the bondholder and
bOndpayer, and we do not see why the
holders of the paper of bankrupt city like
Houston do not meet and sell the bonds of
Houston for stock in Houses narrow gauge
road. The road. honestly built, will pay
Houston bonds without the road will never
pay. If even half the city's liabilities were
thus invested the other half would always
pay at least four or five per cent. May we
not say, parenthetically, that there is NO
field of thought unexplored by an editor.
He may not be an adept in any art, but uni
versatility, If not absolute accuracy of infor-
nation, is indispensable to success in edi
torlal life, and we have no apology to offel
for this modest financial suggestion to our
friends at Houston, whose penniless luck
excites sympathy or commiseration. Dallas

ways to compel low rates in the direction
of Dallas or this prosperous city will b.
gutted, as were Houston and other center
of trade, by roads that bear everything
through and from but convey nothing t.
these paraly zed cities. If Dallas await tht
coming of the evil hour when trade will b,
diverted or transferred to other points, i
will be too late. Property will begin t.
decline in value, property holders will grow
timid, each terrapin, though he have Goa
of fire on his back, will draw head and leg
and caud0I 0dGendum within his shell anC
go into a state of permanent Information
and the city dies of inanition. Meanwhile

stay with the power of voting away the
property of the industrious. he common
councils of cities are becoming every year
more and more appalled, by the sufferings of
the poor, and impressed with the necessity
of seeing them provided with sham labor,
by levies on the property of the taxpayer,
until, if things go on as now, we shall have
in nearly al of them the germ of national
workshops" In which pauper voters will be
maintained in half idleness, to the perma-
nent detriment of their bodies and souls, by
the honest and industrious wOrkingmen. In
fact the philosophy of the STATESMAN, as
this affects local elf-government, must be
adopted and suffrage in corporations re-
stricted to taxpayers, or towns will be con-
tiscated and one-third of the counties of
Texas turned over to barbarism

GovERNMENTs everywhere in Europe and
America, local, municipal, State, and fed
eral, cost so much that labor Is prohtless,
and there is no inducement held out to in
dustry-no reward profered honest toll.
The tariff robs us in the dark, and all that
we must consume cIsts two or three honest
prices. and this sum thus stolen is absoi bed
not bv producers but by hoarders of gold.
Within the current year the cry for bread
will become the signal for repudiation.
Tennessee almost proclaims it {; Georgia and
Alabama led the way, and Arkansas must
surely follow, and while public burdens
grow, the volume of currency is steadily
contracted, the holders of money are rap
idly enriched, and of property and farms
as rapidly Impoverished, and the culmina-
tion of progressive calamities in repudia
ton, if not in revolution. is seemingly in
evitable. Industry, we repeat it, is made
valueless, and thus it is paralyzed by bur
densome multiplied governments absorbing
all profits of toll, and if Radicalism, will
its barnacles, be not shaken off there vii

THE Comanche Chief is opposed to max
ing the adoption of the new Constitution a
party measure. And then the Chief would
retain Governor Coke, exclude Hubbard and
substitute Pickett. The game is said to
be the elevation of Governor Coke to the
Senate, and there are good people who op-
pose Dick Hubbard's accession to the guber-
material chair. They abhor the Interna-
tional Railroad policy of Governor Hub
bard, and there are two sides to that ques-
ton, and we have only to say that the issue
should not be made, and the straight old
ticket should be nominated at Galveston.
Mr.. Pickett is an excellent gentleman, and
we like him and admire him, but there is 4
criticism upon the conduct of many Demo
Gratis involved in the extrusion of Hubbard
and retention of Coke, which will not b.
agreeable, and Is dangerous.
