ness and enthusiasm never before ex.
hibited. !ScribRer's Monthly for June
says:
This sort of civil service reform is
hardly approved at Washington, where
the significance of houcrs rendered
Taylor by the people and press are not
cOmprehended. The politicians know
that If the President bad 1t in his pow
er to make few mere such appoint
ments as this their occupation would
be gone. Now, il does not matter
much whether the President has lived
up to his professlous or not; it does
not matter whether be has been wise
or simple. Independence of the ma
chine politicians of the country is what
be stands for in the minds of the peo-
pie. They know that the politicians
do not like him; they know that he
does not ask counsel.of the machine.
and that Bayard Taylpr's appointment
was one that was made without con-
sultlng the machine. So, while ap-
proving of Mr.. Taylor as 3 man most
fit for the place, they have said as loud
ly as actions caH speak that they like
the way in which the appointment was
made, and that in this thing they were
heartily with the President and against
the machine politicians of both stripes.
In the long run this senament will tell
upon the policy of the untry. If the
President stand by bis eolors he will
win the good opinion and the good
will of the masses of the people Just in
the proportion that he loses the good
will of the machine politicians, and the
latter will be forced into unity with
him TO save their own necks.

MERCY! mRRoY.

The heart sickens at the death tale
that comes from Columbus. The hap
piness of family was taken away, and
in passion husband revenged himself
upon the despoiler. The law inter-
vened, and the jury and courts said
Houillon must hang. They did their
duty, it is thought, upon the evidence
elected in the trial, but hundreds of
citizens of Colorado county, feeling
that a man should not be hanged for
defending the honor of his household,
even unto the bloody knife, petitloned
for ''mercy." Five hundred people
cried for mercy" and for days the
plea went up at the capital that extern
usting circumstances existed, and
would be brought to light, authorizing
mercy. But mercy came not, though peo-
pie asked it In the name of honor
and of chastity. Who would not do
as Houillon did 2 Who would not seek
the blood of one who destroys the
sanctity of marriageG But the:dying
confession says Houillon did not even
seek the place and the time to kill his
man; that they met, and that life was Ia
ken in self-defense. When this doomed
man told his story the deadly potion
was in his hand that he knew would
send him in few moments into eter-
nifty. Did be speak falsely then, when
all hope was gone, and when he him
self had resolved to take away from
the scaffold its intended victim The
law does not recognize that men lie at
such moments. He had defended lis
honor and he again defended it in death.
Houillon might have lived; little re.
spite, Communication, might have Civ
en- time to develop facts, as claimed to
exist, in extenustion by those who plead
for him; but it was death that led him
unto death, and yet thousands of Tex
ans hang their heads in pity, for none
but craven man would do otherwise
than as Houilloa did. He died decIar-
ing his innocence Of wiIful murder.
He died as IN injured man would die,
and not as the felon dies. Mercy
could have opened the door to pardon
and to life; but it msy not be the sea-
son in which to act or did the organ
of the Governor, commenting upon the
fact that Mr.. Dietzel, Of the Galveston
Rosk urged mercy before the Governor,

THE NEW DEPARTURE In MAX
ING APPOINTMENTS.

Splendid tributes to Bayard Taylor,
rendered everywhere and by all classes
of people since his appointment to
Berlin, assert rather the approval of a
fact than of the man. Taylor himself
is not personally popular and the en-
thusiasm that greeted his elevation was
not designed as tribute to his worth
so much as an approval of the conduct
Of the administration in turning from
beaten paths and selecting representa-
tive of America who was never a poll
tician or placeseeker, and only a gen.
tleman and scholar and contributor 10
the best literature of the country. The
people, by honors showered upon Tay-
lor, and the press, by its laudations of
the President for his conduct in this
behalf, have plainly SAID that such sp-
poiptments cannot be too frequently
made. Literary man have never set
their souls to the music of dollars.
They never have time to think greedi-
ly of gold. Their aspirations ascend
among the clouds and stars, never bur-
rowing in caverns whence Flood and
O'Brien have drawn matchless riches.
Taylor's fame and worth are not
products of speculation in shod-
dy or In bonds in Wall street
or of prostratlon before affairs set up by
demsgogaes. He belongs neither to
Conklipg nor Blaine nor Stanley
Mathews nor David Davis. He never
cared to have more money than would
give him shelter and food and decent
comforts, and has devoted his life to
the perfection of popular taste ana in
telligence. He was never 9 candidate
for Office and rever fsttered the mob
or bent in the presence Of power. He
has deemed himself the peer of the
luckiest of placemen. His name will
live and myriads Of people win con
over pages be has filed when men
most fortunate winning popular ap-
plause will have lost the little inches
they may ell for 3 time in the temple
of history. Others must record the
deeds and Perpetuatc the fame Of psrty-
leaders, but Taylor has inscribed his
own upon tablets that win live through
many generations. Singularly enough,
therefore. do We ind the press and

Since the close of the mighty strug-
gle with the First Napoleon, England
has made gains both in wealth and
population, far exceeding those of the
Other kingdoms of Europe. Then she
had but nine per cent. of the popula-
ton of the five FIRST class powers in
Europe; now she has about thirteen
per cent. Psuperism has decreased
from eight per cent. to three
per cent. Her foreign commerce
has doubled since 1860. Her &C

THE SAFEST PLACE FOR THE
RICH.

Turmoil, strife, insecurity and un-
wise government dnve away money
and prevent its investment. Therefore
it Is that Communism creates itself by
creating poverty and want. Wretched
municipal systems are created by the
very men who suffer most because of
the existence of such governments.
If town be plundered by its masters
or these be incapable of wise action
and legislation, the poor are reduced
TO penury by compulsory idleness. No
such calamity could befall the poor of
Austin as communistlc disorder and
violence. Money would seek secure
hiding places, and industry en-
ployment in vain, and poverty become
pitiable beggary. Blood and flames,
the sword and faggot never yet
brought food or riches to rags and
penury. Communism, as defined in
books and newspapers, is the simple
repeal of law and substitution of vio-
Ience and disorder. II Communism
placed the idle and industrious of to-
day on the same level, and distributed
evealy the country's riches. the pro-
cess must needs be repeated
each year until industry discov-
cred the uselessness of effort and
then we would have country given
over to robbery and idleness aud vice.
The laws prevent the accumulation, in
time Of peace, Of vast estates. II in
dIviduals hold enormous wealth there
can be no entaiIed inheritance and no
law of primogeniture. The struggle
for . competency in this country, where
the government is no longer personal,
is q fair one. Each begins life, as near
ly as possible and 80 far as the law is
concerned, on equal terms, and those
who fail to win the golden prize should
not intsrposs brute force and violence
when earnest industry and steady toll
have failed to give abundance. The
truth is that hard work, sobEiety and
economy never fail in America 70 win

THE New York Herald insists that
the Blair memorial, the Kimnel bill,
the Florida investigstioa-leaving out
the nice Oregon business-and the Pot
ter resolutions, were all born of the
machiavellian brain of simple, sweet,
unsuspectlng Uncle Sammy Tilden.
The Herald pronounces him 'the astute
secretive plotter who mistakes cunning
for wisdom" Very certainly he does
this if he expects the country, because
he may have been cheated, to prefer
him to Voorhees, in 1880. He was
honored enough and more than he
deserved In receiving the votes of a
majority of the people, and can afford
TO stand ASIDE.

The whisky question is on the tapis,
some Of our best and most prominent

are regarded as prosecutions. This

of the country, and Martin may step

THE cONCEALED WEAPON LAW.

The Kentucky statute, providing
against carrying concealed weapons,
compels officers to search suspected per-
soDs, and the laws violation is punish
able with fine and imprisonment. The
court is suffered to have no discretion.
II the offender wore deadly weapons
he must spend thirty days in prison and
the fine is compelled to be paid.
Fines are readily paid and sure impris-
onment is the only cure for habit as
vicious as ruinous to good order and
dangerous to public peace and person
al security. A large class OF otherwise
good citizens habitually wear arms.
Repeaters are buckled each morning
about the bodies of men in Texan
towns claiming to be worthy
of all honor and respect, and
yet the States codes are violated,
and they whose duty it is to see that
the law is executed are wlllfully blind.
A pistol, dropped from the pocket of
much respected citizen at the post
Office, was picked up by a police
man. He bowed with becoming
politeness, delivered the wespcn
to the owner, who went away,
leaving the law insulted and its officer
Sinking and bowIng in the presence
of the culprit. An inoffensive citizen,
pursuing his business and molesting
nobody, is shot at upon the Avenue,
and the foe imposed for carry
ing deadly weapon In this
case is remit1ed by the Governor.
Strangers from abroad having neither
friends nor money and ignorant of the !
law have been often preyed upon, con.
tributlng fines and costs to the purses
of the officers, while the armed ha6itue
of the Avenue goes unwhipt of |
justice. 1t results that the law of |
Texas arms the lawless and mur-
derous while those who have been
taught to obey the mandates of the
State are detenseless. Bloody-handed
murderers and morally timid and yet |
courageous roueS are living |
explosive arsenals, as dangerous to So
ciety as pest houses and powder maya
zines. Laws of Texas, therefore, need |
reformation and not repeal, and they
who execute these laws should rather
spare strangers and compel citizens to
obey codes singularly defective them
selves, or unfortunate in courts that
construe and officers that enforce them.
