IT seems that Governor Robinson of
New York, who was his chosen friend
even as was Ex-Governor d lrsheimer,
has betrayed Tilden. The New York
governor Is out with declaration that
"the great duty of the time on the part
of every friend of reform, irrespective
of partisan affiliations, is to make a
stand against corrupt Legislation, I'M
profitable expenditures and robbery of
the public treasury" To that end he
recommends that natioasl politics be
kept out of the elections next fall, and
that economical government, honest
administration and lower taxes should
be the exclusive issue. Governor Rob-
erts, it seems, Is conducting the gov
eminent of Texas as Governor Robin
son would have him. In fact, Gov
ernor Roberts is the first to insugurste
practical rather then those theoretical
reforms, of which party platforms have
said so much and parties done so little.
Governor Robinson has been watching
the course of events in Texas.

The Elgle and Ph9lix Mills Of Co.

and managed by single company In
the South. There are three cotton and
one wooden mill of ~, 0O6 spindles and

fifty cotton bales used daily. In fact,
the Eagle and Phoenix consume more
cotton than any mill in America that
makes colorea goods. The goods are
unsurpassed in value and durability,

q I If there were no free schools there
would be private schools. As the facts
have existed in Texas, for years past,
we have had worse than no schools.
Those that were free were effective
only in destroying good schools. Peo-
Pile would not buy good article be-
cause the nearest and poorest was
given to them. Thus the people are
corrupted by the Stata, and to remedy
the evil, Governor Roberts begins at
the, bottom, and would provide teach
ers first, and then educate thoroughly,
IN primary branches, the orphaned
and poverty stricken. For these alone
should we have free schools.

sists that IL the law did not prevent
the wearing of arms passengers would
not be robbed on railways and stage
coaches. The anti-pOeket on the hap
law is thus advantageous to despers-
does and knsves, resulting in loss OF
money and life to decent, honest PEG
pie. On the contrary it is found that
armed passenger on coaches prefer TO
pay rather than risk an encounter with
highwsymeD. When y msn is surprised
and cool and self possessed and resents
no insult he prefers to give money
rather than life, and therefore pays
rather than sho. It Is not the alb
sence Of weapons among travellers that
crowns highwaymen with triumphs but
the simple preference of men, when
cool and self-poised, n security Of per
son rather than of purse. Moreover

as such by those who obey the law,
and those cowardiy pocket 46n. lhelhip

incidents are of daily occurrence, and
the law will finally disarm the whole

weapons for forty years. There are
instances in which the law OPERATES
hsrshly, but this is true of every law,
however beneticent.. snd if the courts,
mayors and justices and juries of the
country will only enforce the law de-
signed to close the bloody pocket on
