Texas Pacific.

OF the house of representatives. In its
new form the bill guarantees interest Al
5 per cent. on subsidy Of about thirty.
two million dollars, the government re.
suming the land grant Of about eighteen
million acres. The lands are to be sold

the government will retain all sums

edge and observance of the laws of
health. Is it necessary for one to be
thrust through with q sword in order
to understand the nature and effect OF
such q wound? Who is deemed the
wiser, 10 that learns by the experience
Of others, or by his own! Fools we
are told, will learn in no other school,
but the latter. Are all children fools !?
Is it absolutely necessary that they
should burn themselves in order to I'M
derstand the effects Of fire upon the
human system? Because the example
of some parents is so glaringly incon-
sistent with the precepts they might
incuicate-is that any reason why COM
paratively good parents should desist
from teaching? l know it is useless
and wicked for parents to pretend that
they are better than the facts show that
they are, for children soon see through
hypocrisy. But has not parent the
moral, as we'll as the legal right, Qor
the legal is based upon the moraD to
restrain his child from the commission
Of crime, and thereby afford more
extended opportunity to use the power
of moral suasion? Would it not be
culpable in parents to permit child to
commit q wrong, while having the right
and the power to prevent it? hold
that it is right for parents in the light
that they possess, or may possess, to
govern and require unquestionable
obedience on the part of their children.
History and statistics will bear US out,
in saying that proper regard for law
and all rightful authority commences
in the family, and that mobs, and pris-
ons and the gallows is supplied chiefly
by these families, where the authority
of the parents is merely nominal. If
love is the acknowledged ruler, is 1t not
the province Of love to guard and shield
and forbid your child from danger?
Would you not snatch it from physical
injury, would it not be far greater
manifestation of love to keep your
child pure, so far as it is human to do
so, in view of the depravIty OF our ma
lures, than allow it to become de-
bauched, marred and SCARED all over with
crime. We repeat the idea, it is much
easier and more creditable to prevent
an insect from wounding a young tree
than to restore 1t again to vigor. The
parent does comprehend something OF
the consequences and bearings of
wrong, the child should be restrained,
enlightened and presented to society
at maturity, unpreverted and not Vita.

Mr.. Gladstone, in q magazine article
on the Eastern question, declares that
tho opening of the Dardanelles is not an
English question or Russian question,
but one which belongs to Europe and
that it should be decided by Europe. AS
to tho English Empire in Asia, he says
it should be remembered that in addition
tol thirty -four millions of Englishmen
and seventy or eighty millions of Rus
slams, there are two hundred and fifty
millions of inhabitants of India, who
