gentleman. who is credited with moderate
views, took decided ground in favor of q
continuance of the struggle for state
rights. Slavery. he said, might be dead
but that other principle for which the
south fought is not lost. So sure" he

Texas is not so much interested in the
presidents veto as in one by Gov Roberts
1t was submitted before the legislature
adjourned last week. and vetoes the appro
prlatlon of the poll tax and fourth of the
general revenue to support the public
schools; 100000 for interest on the
bonded debt, and 100000 for the state
sinking fund. The trouble is that Texas
has been living beyond her means building
high expectations on the heavy immigra-
ton into the state, and spending with Il
lavish hand. Gov. Roberts is very anxious
to keep expenses within the 81 100000 of
net revenue, and holding that the prime
purpose of taxation is to support the gov
eminent, he selects the schools and holders
of the states Indebtedness as the proper
objects for minor consideration. Retrench-
ment is all right, but some people prefer
to pinch at home rather than to neglect
the schools and the public creditors.

The silver bill introduced in the House
by Mr.. Warner, the consideration of which
was commenced Saturday, proposes to
remove the restrictions on the coinage of
the standard silver dollar; stimulate the
use of silver as currency by means of
bullion certificates; abolish the trade dol
lar and make fractional silver coins inter-
changeable with silver, gold and notes
bonus of from 10 to 10 per cent to the
bullion holder. The second step (the GER
tticates being made receivable for the in
