A Texas ApolsD.

Ii it should be heralded that a man had
been killed in France, it would excite no
special interest nor particular remark.
France is great empire, and with all its
broad domain surely the killing of a man
would not throw civilization into conyul-
sions. When it is published that murder
has been done in New England -compris-
ing six states-the journals of the union
do not consider it incumbent on them to
place it under the head of r"Crime RAM
pant in New England"-for in six great
states the killing of one man need not cx-
cite especial remark. And yet Texas is
larger than France; its. territory far ex-
ceeds that of all New England. Texas
has hundreds of miles Of frOntier-a From
tier given up to Mexicans and Indians.
Texas is "a new state. 1t has counties
named, as yet unorganized, that exceed in
area that Of states as old as the union it.
SELF For years Texas was the refuge of
men who, fled from the consequences of
their crimes in other states. There are to-
day in Texas CRIME and criminals-crime
that is the product of its imported crimi-
mails. There is nothing in the climate of
Texas, nothing in its later growth that in
inculcates crime Most of its
criminal calendar has been made by men
born elsewhere, educated elsewhere, raised
elsewhere. This much should be placed
to the credit of Texas.-FOrt Worth DEM

Congress meets to find that the dispute
about employing troops and marshals in
elections for member of congress. which
caused SO much talk in the special session
last spring, has lost its interest. 1t might
be resurrected and tortured into an artificial
issue, but it seems pretty clear that, for the
present, the country cares very little about
it. The better policy for the majority will,
probably, be to allow it TO pass away. When
the appropriation bills are brought up, they
should be passed if possible, without re-
newal of the quarrel with the executive.
There are no important questions before
the country at present, and the session
ought to be quiet one, unless the ad-
ministration insists on ripping up the cur
rency legislation of the past In that case
the Democrats of the South and the
Democrats and Republicans of the West
ought to make common cause in opposit-
