big ones might enrich themselves pre-
paratory to putting their fraudulent
corporations into bankruptcy. The
preferred stock" system is only po-
lite piece of rascality and robbery,
whether practiced by private or public
corporations. House bill 80 says, in
effect, that the producer and laboring
man, who is drawn as a juror or called
upon as a witness, or asked TO serve.as
a judge or clerk of election, or to view
a road, shall take his pay in county
warrants which the county does not in-
tend to redeem till all other debts are
paid, and not then if payment can be
avoided. This is not all: If an I'M
fortunate citizen happens to get more
county scrip in his hands than his couu-
ty taxes amounts TO, he will not be able
TO sell it to his neiGhbor becauce it is
not receivable Gin payment of county
tax or dues except from the person in

Reputation.

Last week just before going to press
we wrote hastily paragraph severely
criticising House Bill so, which pro-
vides for the payment of County war
rants only in the order of their
issue. Upon further inquiry and re-
Election, we are of opinion that the bill
is even worse than we at first supposed
end that our criticism was mildly
drawn. This iniquitous proposition of
virtual local reputation, must have
originated in the fertile brain of some
hungry scripspecnlator who being
unable TO cash at one time ell the
paper he buys at rrinous discount,
now invokes the aid of the law or the
law makers, to the end that small hold
ers shall be compelled to stand back
till he gets has money. The provis-
ions of the bill are founded upon the
the same principle as the one that gave
rise some years ago to the passage in
the eastern states, of those infamous
'srailroad preferred stock" bills, which
s4rcse out and ruiEed little men that

Oliver p. Morton.

Morton is dead. Any biographical
sketch of this great man, however
brief, would be superhuous. His his
tory is the history of his country for
the past fifteen years. The silly but
earnest protest of the democratic press,
repeated by a certain class of prattling
parrots in the republican party, to the
effect that Senator Morton was not
statesman, Is all the merest bosh, and
only furnishes the best evidence that
he aras state>mln. If Morton was
not statesman, the fact is a sad and
humiliating commentary upon the sur
viviug members of the United States
Senate, among whom he lowered by
head and shoulders pre-eminent.
The upper house has had no men,
Der in it since the death of the
great Sumner, who has been worthy OF
comparison with Honorable Oliver P
Morton. The iteration and reiteration
of the wiseacres who so nervously and
SO loudly make haste to proclaim that
Morton was not statesman, is only
the old, Old, story. There is an ada2e
thai "the honest men are all dead"
The same may be said to be true of the
great men. They are never here; but
always in some other country. Never
in this age, but always in the ages
which have preceded us. Only true
statesman eau forsee the certain future
result of given combination of maneu
vers on the political chess board. Yet
several years ago Senator Morton,
alone OF all the public men, had the
sagacity to forsce and the confidence to
predict the very complications which
only last year arose W.jh reference TO
the count of the electoral vote. We
AL remember how earnestly but vainly
he labored to impress his colleagues in
congress with the importance ofprovid-
ing against such crisis. A very fool
ish idea seems to prevail with certain
class OF people, that man who falls
to ingraft his ideas of government up
ON the legislation of his country, is not
a statesman. The truth is, that a
statesman like any other great man, is
always in advance of the age in which
be lives. In statecrait, Oliver P. Nor
ton was 50 far in advance of this age
that he cannot De regarded as states
man till his country arrives at the
ground upon which he fought and fell.
Justice, though t..rdy, is sure. When
women are entrusted with the ballot,
and other important reforms for which
Senator Morton contended so faithfully
shall have been consumatcd he will at
laSt DE cOunCeu Il Statesman, DcC unlll
then he viii only be referred to as a
great politician. When justice is at
last done to his memory, all this news
paper twaddle of to-day which SO learn
eG'y assumes to assign him place in
history, will also be received at its real
value by intelligent people, who will
read and wonder whether the writers
were noted most for their ignorance or
their bigotry.

TUE joil.brea<ing era has returned
again, and from all parts of the state we
hear of Jail deliveries, and attempts,
This evil has grown to such proportions
as to warrant some special legislation
on the subject of the security of prison
ers, and we trust in his next message
the governor will give the legislature
some good strong talk on the subject.
Besides being far too small and lily ven.
tilated, our jails, as rule, are wofully
insecure. This fact is abundantly es.

A REPORTER of the Examiner recently
interviewed Governor Coke on the sub.
ject OF the senatorial race. The report
occupies three columns in that paper
We would gladly republish it, but iol
the fact that there is not the slightest
need for it, The people could never be
made to believe for moment that Gov
ernor c. did anything in regard to that
race but what was honorable and above
question Governor Coke tells the re.
porter nothing but what every well in.
formed man knew beforehand. In al
luding to the letters recently published
by Ireland, the governor said in reply
to the reporter
Reporter see, governor, that
Judge Ireland, in his interview with
the San Antonio Express, says that If
he had published your letters pending
the senatorial race, their publication
would have defeated you. How about
this
Governor C,-This is all stuff and non.
sense, and in perfect keeping with poor
lreland's recent performances before the
public. Why, as for their publication,
Ireland made his race solely upon these
letters. They were submitted to the
inspection of anybody that wished to
see them, and | very much doubt
whether there is a single democratic
member Of the Fifteenth legislature
that did not read them or hear them
read. A distinguished district Judge in.
formed me, only the other day, that his
representative brought home photo,
graphic copy of one of them, and showed
II to him. Ireland made better use of
them by his sinuous course than could
have been made had they been pub.
llshed in the newspapers, for then the
absurdity of his position would have
been fully exposed.
Reporter-Did your friends in the leg,
islature know about these letters2
Governor C.-Certainly. In the early
days of the session of the Legislature
all the papers relating to the matter
were submitted to caucus of INV
friends and supporters in the legisla.
ture, about fifty being present, and they
were informed that il single man
present saw any reason why | should
not be a candidate, would announce
my withdrawal in the papers of Austin
the next day. There was an unani,
nous expression from the body that
there could be no impropriety in my
candidacy. ] became a candidate with
what result is well known, receiving on
the first ballot two-thirds of the demo.
cratic members Of the legislature all
with full knowledge Of what had passed
between Ireland and myself and ire
and got the balance Of his party along
with most of the negroes and radicals
My recollection is no radical voted for
me--not one.
