The proposition to start new Chess Club in this

RouE. March s.-The Pope has directed the
preparation Of studies in order that the Pontid-
cal Curia-no longer, since 1S70, IN conformity
with the requirements of the Holy See-nlay be
regulated in such wise as to be adapted to the
present time, removing all that may be SUPER
fluous, and placing the rest in harmony with the
conditions in which the Holy See is situated.

promoting the cause Of Columbus, whom they

THE MANOR AND THE SHEER
EFF

The mayor of the city and sheriff of
the county incur responsibilities which
they have hardly measured. Every
thing affecting public morals and the
supremacy of law and order is involved
in the selection of proper agents and
representatives, of these personages.
The many have no respect for a govern
ment which does not respect itself and
the virtues, tastes and demands of
those vested with high authority are
measured by these qualities illustrated
in the conduct and character of their
subordinates and appointces. A mayer
and high sheriff are as false 20 them
selves as to the people Of the
capital and of Travis county if
they select unworthy agents to execute
local law and enforce local order. The
many, seeing n stupid or corrupt or
drunken policeman or deputy sheriff.
must think the mayor and the sheriff
the positions they occupy, and there
is no proper reverence for the law
when its chief executive officers do
not command popular respect. There
fore it is that in all civilized countries
lord mayors and high sher.ffs are
invested with every adventurous
aid to dignity and power that
pomp and ceremony and in
tell,gcncc and virtue can give. We
make these suggestions because people
say that the sheriff and the mayor have
given insignia Of ,tlice to unworthy
and even disrCpT;able sUbordinates
and infinite misc Aicf has resulted, and
the great wrong should be remeiied.
The pay and pcrQljsitcs of the sheriff
of the county are said to be enormous,
aid then the county court, 70 give the
officer greater dignity, has reared for
| INN a splendid abode. He dwells be-
tween splendid court house Of
| unrivaled architectural charms and
a prison OF imposing outlines. The
/ people have done their whole duty
in making the officer respectable and
worthy of obedience, and he surely
does degrade himself by selec ing
a tipstaif or other deputy whose moral
and personal worth and habits dis
grace the badge lie wears and the peo-
pie whose laws he is incapable of exc
cutting. We DO not charge anything
for this modest advice TO local office
holders, bu, our readers in the city and
country will not question lis proPTiety
or the necessity for its adoption b
those to whom it is addressed. There
are many faults OF omission and COM
mission alleged TO operate in the city
and county government which may b'
condoaed; but one fact is fixed, thai
no decent, upright, honest tax-paYel
will vote q second time for a sheriff OF
mayor who dishonors himself aud tn,
! community and wrongs both by select

THE towns commonly vote against
local option and the country for it.
Tie reason is that the towns think
the country people wouldn't come to
town if the whisky shops were shut.
Moreover, a country nan, half-seas-
over, spends his money more literally
in town, and the town doesn't care to
dam up trade when dammiug up the
tioodtidc of whisky. But there are
more devotce5 1T Dacchus's shrine in
the town than in the country, and
whisky has stronger social and
moncyed influence in the town.
