period in the worlds history the peo-
pie of this continent held intercourse
with those of Europe and Africa on
the one hand and with Asia on the
other. Gen. Mexia owns manuscripts
and books Of the existence of which
Prescott and other historians knew
nothing, or at most never read. Among
these is testimony adduced on the trial
OF men, who accompanied Cortez, for
crimes committed by his orders. The
whole history and purpose of his in
vasion Of the country and the means
he employed to effect the conquest are
given in these Aztec records with per-
feet truthfulness. When Gen. MexiA's
book is published historians and
scholars will find it necessary to revise
and correct many preconceived cpin-
ions not only with reference to the
Conquest of Mexico" but affecting
the primevsl inhabitants of the CONT
nent and their peculiar civilization.

HE newspapers everywhere are pre-
tending to be horribly disguised be-
cause lion and bull fight one an
other in San Antonio for the amuse.
ment Of the roughs of that ancient
town, when we read every day In these
same newspapers of fights more brutal
even between white men. These use
knives and pistols while the better
brutes only bite and scratch. Until
Dallas is no longer brutalized by men,
the Herald of that sanctified town
should not adver. to depravity of taste
among the good people of San Anto-
MO. In truth, we are no. sure that a
decent bull and tiger fight in Dallas
would net do a great deal of good. 1t
would surely show the animals called
men that true courage is only illustrat-
ed by Gods creatures. These never
use other weapons of Offense or defense
than those that God gave them, and
since decency is confessedly shocked
by the fact that animals tear and rend
each others flesh how infinitely more
disgu ting this like conduct of men
who make ''nonor" pretext for free

day to strangers and citizens wander

Dallas. When the press has cured the

Bill Longley, row under final SEN
tence to be hung, writes to Capt. Mast,
who captured HIM, as follows: About
eleven years ago l launched my boat
upon that mighty river that leads to
obstruction. and without the least idea
where il would land me. OF course,
you are aware that when one gets
under good headway going down this
mighty channel il is very hard to check
up. have fouRd that this great river
has but one landing plsce, from Its
head to It's mouth, and the name of
that place ls Reformation town, and
after one passes Reformation town,
there Is no stopping place between him
and eternity. No, none. But o, how
few there are who get off at this land
ingi The reason of it is, the country
looks beautiful on either side, and still
more promising ahead, and on We go.
until finally we begin to strike our
boats against the terrible bouiders and
snsgs. Then it is we begin to see our
companions wrecked and lost On either
side of US; then it is that we see
whittier We are going. But, alasl too
lata, for we are then beyond the hope
of human hands. Then we cast a look
or a thought back to our once happy
home, and mother.
TIE taxpayers of MARSHALL in con-
vention have been considering the pres
ent tax laws as applying to the delin-
qucnt taxes of 1915. The chief point
discussed was as to the constitutional
ity of the present law providing for
the sale of lands for delinquent taxes
as applied to the unpaid taxes of the
years mentioned, some contending that
the law was ee post .fdctO in its opera
ton, and others that it was only q
change of the manner OF collection.
MI SOlCuIuus wiz SnlcElaiuCu tue lhl-
ter opinion, argued that this being The
construction of the law the relief soug t
by the taxpayers of the county could
not be obtained through the courts of
the country, and that the only source
of rellet was the Legislature. He there
fore introduced a resolution, which
vas adopted, that committee of five
be appointed to draft communication
to the Comptroller of the State setting
forth the facts and reasons in the case,
and asking of that officer, if consist
ent with his authority, to order the COL
lectOr of taxes of that county to pest
pone the collection of delinquent taxes
for those years until the next session Of
the Legislature, when relief would be
asked of that body.

MOVEMENT Against TEXAS
CATTLE.

Several hundred of the leading citi-
zens of Vernon county, Missouri, says
the st. Louis Journal Of agriculture,
met March 16 and adopted measures to
prevent the introduction of Texas, Ar
kansas, Mexican and Indian cattle.
Judge Riqua, former member of the
Legislature, presided over the delibera-
tions of the meeting, which adopted
resolutions virtually making a neces
sity of their own wants, and taking the
matter in their own hands to
protect their cattle from the
dreadful scourge that has so often
beeu fatal to the stock-growing inter
ests along the line of travel. The vari-
Gus township s were asked to organize
nd take immediate steps to carry GU;
The spirit of the meeting. 1t was also
agreed to petition Congress and the
Dexf Legislature of the State to pass
laws prohibiting the introduction of
Texas and other Southwestern cattle.
This action was taken in consequence
of the Supreme Court of the United
States having recently decided that
the Missouri law on this subject was
unconstitutional.

the country and the government, its

help Diaz restore perfect peace along
