offices, the abolition OF monopolies,
and the relief Of the people
from the oppressive burdens imposed

The legislation and all the political
powers Of our State government,
Whilst expressing this opinion we must
beg TO dissent from the unfriendly and
upebantable view indicated by the
Times newspaper az TO the intents and
spirit Of the great majority OF our
General Assembly and the sincerity OF
their professions for reform. 1t must
be obvious to all observers that deliber-
ate and well considered legislation, In
the midst Of the constant political
excitements and with the great obstacle
and restraint Of that wtetehed interven-
ton Of the status que, has been task
OF the most difficult, grave and vexa-
tious character. Let these embarass.
ments be removed. and from the
character OF the gentlemen composing
our Legislature we feel the strongest
assurance that II will proceed vigorously
and earnestly In the work OF reform.
And In that work 1t will have the Jealous
aid and cooperation OF the DEMOCRAT,
and should 1t fail In or try to evade
this responsibility and demand this

There are at least seven men who
like the status quo. who are yearnihg for
Its continuance yet little while longer,
say, three or four years and these seven
are men now residing in the Parish
Prison, under sentence OF death. and
whose hanging has been delayed until

The Texas counties are just now en-
gagged In an honorable rivalry and Gem
petition In marriage certificates. Every
paper publishes the number OF we'd
dings Its county has enjoyed the past
week, points boastingly to the
figures to show the prowess and gal
lantry Of Its young men, and swears
that even without immigration Texas
will double it's population in few years.
It has been suggested that to make
this rivalry more energetic and piqnant,
some prize be awarded the banner
county, the one that makes the best
showing In the way Of marriages during
the year, for the purpose Of letting mar
riageable but unmarried young ladies
know where to spend the. winter.
In this connection the marriage figures
that have been made public show some
curious and astonishing facts.
Marriages, all last winter, were very
brisk, but strange to say, when the
spring time had come, usually deemed
the mating season of the year, there
was a sudden, unaccountable, alarming
falling off.
The Houston Age, in melancholy
tones, laments over the fact that the
clerk of Harris county issued only one
marriage certificate last week, and that
to an aged and decrepid negro.
Here is fit subject for legislative In.

REEoRMATORY LEGISLATION.

Much complaint is made in various
quarters of the delays and non-action
OF the Legislature in the reformatory
legislation to which every member of
that body stands pledged. Whilst we
acknowledge the force Of the excuses
set up by our Representatives, founded
upon their peculiar and hampered posi-
ton and circumstances resulting from
the absurd but paralysing status quo
established by the President Of the
United States, we are not prepared to
Justify or defend the neglect, omission
or rejection of certain imperiously de-
maded reforms and changes of our
laws which will be needed to make the
Democratic administration OF our State
D satisfactory one. We think that
more ought to be done looking to the
reduction of the expenses Of the gov

MIR. BERGH, of New York, who has
done so much for the dumb animals, is
now turning his efforts in the direction
of also helping the condition of the ami
mails that talk. He thoroughly aroused
the authorities on the dog question, and
put on foot plan which, he asserts, if
carried out, will relieve humanity at
night from the discomfort suffered from
the hideous canine howls, and reduce
the dogs to the number that have
legitimate abiding places. Having
done his part of this work, he turned
his attention to the COWS, and fluids that
there are in New York numbers of sta
bles where sickly and poorly-fed cows
are kept, and from which poisonous
milk is obtained and sold to consumers.
He is now engaged in prosecuting the
owners of these COW stables, and pro-
poses that the COWS shall be transferred
to quarters where they will be free from
filth, and will have fresh air and proper
feed. In doing this he necessarily pre-
vents the sale of the poisonous milk and
confers benefit on the milk-consumers
OF the city.

This world is glorious placel
How fragrant the flowers perfume!

How soft on the fruit lies the bloom!
Who says that the world is grown oldH
Why, even to live is delight
A fountain Of power and love
Is life when IT'S looked at Alright.
The world is all smiling to-day,
The earth, and the sky, and sea;
And smiling the faces OF friends,
And oneWho's lar dearer to met
Who says that the world is grown oldf
'Tis almost as fresh and as bright,

What graces and virtues l see

The Chicago whisky thieves who gave
testimony against their fellow-swindlers
and were promised in consideration
thereof immunity from punishment, are
now disgusted that the Government in
sists on their giving up their stealings,
and call this demand bad faith on the
part of the prosecution. No thief except
one in Chicago would insist upon retain
ing his plunder after having made con-
fession, or think it punishment" to be
required to disgorge.
