SENATOR STOREY, chairman Of the
Finance Committee, reported a bill in
the Senate which il msde the law
would put an eud 20 ugly charges that
have heretofore attached to the Treas
urer's office. 1t provides that warrants
shall be paid out of the appropriation on
which they are drawn only in the order
in which they are numbered and regis
tered, except that the Safe Treasurer
shall he authorized to pay any war
rant that shall be presented for pay
ment at any time when be shall have
on hand over and above the amount of
such warrant sufficient money to pay
all outstanding warrants of preceding
numbers registered that all warrants
shall be countersigned by the Treasp-
rer before they sTo delivered to the
party in whose favor they are drawn,
and the State Treasurer shall keep in
his Office register of all warrants, SO
couutersigned, giving the uumber,
name of person in whose favor it Is
drawn, its date and amount, and from
what appropriation it Is drawn, and
when paid. A simple act of justice
would be to permit the holder of the
warrants upon which payments are not
at once made TO draw reasonable rate
of interest upon the same.

THE first pension law of 1871 granted
pensions to the Surviving veterans
who separated Texas from Mexico" p"
granting $3.50 per annum each. The
Comptroller construed this to mean
only those who had served previously
to twenty-second OF April, on the
principle that the latter separated
Texas from Mexico and achieved our
independence, ald but 240 were then
admitted to the pension roll. In 1874,
when bill was introduced to pay this
class, they fixed up an omnibus bill
including all who served in the Texas
army previous to October, 1886, giving
each $1,000 ia bonds, thus swelling
the number in short time to nearly
1900 and creating the debt OF 81, 49,
600, on which the State fluds it SO
difficult to pay the interest. Whilst
Ireland, McLeary, Judge Cook and
others OF the Legislature were ANXIOUS
10 pay lnis amount 10 Tue genuine
veterans who fought the battles that
gained our independence, they OPP
posed the bill as a measure fraught
with injury to the finances of
the State. as we'll as because it
would have to be repealed, and sweep
the genuine veteran with the bogus
veteran off the pension list. Every
taxpayer of the State was willing to
pay the genuine veterans, and give
that substantial recognition due to
those who fought our battles. But the
two classes Of veterans should not be
confounded. The fighters who, by
conquest, gained for Texas the $1o,-
900, 900 from the United States, as well
the lands now set apart as public prop
erty, should be looked upon as the
States creditors during their lives to
the extent of liberal support. But
while rewarding these old veterans
for what they gained for US, we should
not suffer politicians and party-lesders
to frltter it away on spectators, squat
tiers end adventurers. It belongs to
all the children Of TEXAS through all
time.

The Richmond Virginia Enquirer
says the State Auditor of Virginia, in
report of the operations of the Mof-
fett bell-punch liquor law, shows the
total receipts from the time of its COM
mencement to be S472, sS4, being an
excess of $210 23s over the assessments
of the preceding year, which. after
deducting the rebates allowed under
the law, leaves a net balance of $11O,-
791 in excess Of the results Of the old
law. The auditor Gays that the re-
suits of the experiment shows clearly
that the law is capable OF being made
most powerful agency for raising
revenue, and suggests number
of notifications and changes to that
end

THERE is one redeeming virtue that
confessedly, in this portion OF Texas,
distinguishes society. Whisky does
sometimes shoot victim of whisky
and the world is hOrrifed and dsmns
our civilization aud morals. This is
surely to be deplored and must be re-
formed; but OF all lands this is the
choicest home Of free thinkers in poll
tics. No mans social position is af-
fected By his creed. A Mobammedan,
If an honest, truthful gentleman, is as
highly esteemed as follower of BraL-
min or Vishnu or of Bob Ingersoll, or
Henry Ward Beecher, or OF the de-
voutest priest of the church. No man
thinks less of another because be
is a Republican or Democrat or
an adorer of the memory of
Sam Houston or of Wlgfall,
or Yancy. All this sort OF prejudice
or intolersble stupidity is at an end,
and however much gentlemen differ in
opinion in matter of legislation or of
Federal or State politics, or in refer
ence to apostolic creeds, there are
few resulting social differences. We
have all learned that the convictions
of honest men must always be rs diff
ferent as the shapes of different nea!s
and volumes of different brains. Hap
PLY for Texas we discover illustra-
tions of these moral facts in the rela-
tIons to one another OF the
members of the two houses of
the Legislature, and the recognition of
no public fact has given greater pleas
ure to the country's intelligence.
With the growth of popular liberality
in modes of thinking, character as
just and nature as generous as the COM
monwealth itself is expansive gain
sway, aud our government becomes as |
wise and liberal as the soil of Texas is |
exuberant aud its climate faultleas.
Now and then we encounter an excep- |
ton to the rule, but he is one of those |
whose race Is about run. Such man can |
learn nothing and forget nothing. Lib
eral, generous thoughts are the grand
est achievements of terrible revolutions,
and they have survived that of the past
decade to little purpose who have not
learned to concede, in their inmost
souls, the most perfect freedom of
opinion, on all subjects about which
men reason or have prejudices, to every
human creature.

WHEN the public land, if unsold,
will finally give US perfect pubic
schools for all who need such schools.
then a system may be established which
will do some good. Meanwhile we
would ask the Telephone, which has
been misled by one-sided rant and fus-
tian on this subject. whether it would
have such schools as those of late con-
tinued9 The Legislature proposes to
make them worse by lessening the du-
ration of the term of teaching and in
creasing the number of pupils. The
fund given is not increased. Why
waste all this money! Must we make
such sacrifices to a pre- judice9

THEY We're admirable gentlemen, in
telligent, earnest, liberal and courteous,
who came here to effect a reform in
modes Of furnishing telegraphic news
for the press of the interior. Their
letters from the capital, now coming
back through their several publics-
tions, show how well they were pleased
with one another. In all their business
and social intercourse the kindIiest
personal relations were maintained.
Differences of political or religious
faith or places of nativity begat no
personal sntagonisms, and however ex-
cellent the morslizing of the press of
the State its practical illustrations OF
the philosophy preached are az sdmirs
bic as its sermons.

WHILE Congress is spreading itself''
in the pension business the Legislature
of Texas is forced to grapple with the
same subject of legislation. There are
not more than 130 survivors of the bat
ties Of Texan independence and we
would be pleased to know the number
of pensioners for services IN these bat
ties. The archangel Gabriel, as resur-
rectionist, is slow coach compared
with a pension bill. The evil done in
promoting practices of perjury and
knavery is SO great that the good is in
apprecisble and we are led to doubt
the wisdom of enacting pension laws.
Texas has frittered away enormous
sums IN this business which now and
then gives bread to the honest and de-
serving few and makes miser-
able mendicants and perjurers of
many and if measures now con-
sidered by our Legislature affect
ing this subject cannot be more wisely
matured than that enacted by Con-
gress, or those which multiply "old
soldiers" annually, the whole scheme
may be abandoned. Why not adopt
the policy of England and of Francei
Tne one empire has it's helpless old
soldiers home at Greenwich, the other
Its world-renowned Hotel des Inya-
lides, where helpless and superannuated
veterans still chatter, on both sides of
the straits of Dover, of wondrous
deeds done at Waterloo. It would
cost less, infinitely, to give a modest
home to the fifty needy genuine old
soldiers of 1886 than to continue fol.
lies prscticei for years past, which
hsYe often operated as rewards for
petty larcenies aud as premiums for
perjury.

The introduction of senator Ter
rell's capitol bin sets at rest most ol
the opposition to the fret bill intro
duced. Oae provides for the setting
apart of lands for building the STATE
capitol, the other for the work OF con-
stTuction, etc. The Constitution re-
quires ths; bill shall have but one
purpose, aud these two bsils have been
prepared, it seems, with al that csre
which, when passed, VIII secure their
complete efficiency. In the House the
matter Is settling down to 8 perfect
understanding and both these bills
win become law without much opposi-

MAY not the city government pass

At 7a cents, are now worth $l.10. Bos-
ton is Tefundipg at per cent, and
that is enough for the State of Texas
to pay. Texas can do this if the Leg

sinking fund that gives confidence to

one of our Texas exchanges saws:


That notorious old blstherskite.
Martin L. Townsend, having been sp
pointed United States Dis,fic, AttGr-
ney for Northern New York. il is TO be
hoped will accept, so that his contiu-
uance at Washington may DO longer
disgrace the legislative halls OF the ma
tioD. About the only redeeming trait
II this concentrated o'd ass is that nc
bears strong personal resemblance 10
the late Adolph Thiers, OF france.
The resemblance, however, does not
extend any farther.
The STATESMAN is ne admircr OF Mr.
Townsend. God knows we have no
preiudices or sympathios IN common
with such as be. But there is such
fatal blunder committed by him who
denominstes the shrewd old New
Yorker an ass that the effect OF preju-
dice upon mortal vision becomes
startling. Dir. Townsend may not be
great amcng statesmen, but among
men of shrewdness, tact, wit and ear
nest fixedness Of purpose he has few
peers. He is an ultra Republican, as
he would have been, if South Caro-
linisn, sn ultra Democrat. Lifelong
prejudIces, born and nurtured at the
ireside OF his childboOd's home, and
trained in Sunday schools and by the
''drippings of the sanctuary" and then
perfected by eloquent appeals of party
leaders, have shaped the course OF
of Mr.. Townsend's pcnetrat-
ing intellect. But he is not, for this
reason, "s concentrated old ass" New
York intelligence Is not accustomed,
as we OF the South often do, to send
concentrated old or other asses" TO
Washington, and when New York be-
g ns, in this behalf, to follow in the
footsteps of some other people, old
Martin Townsend will never regain a
seat in Congress.
