The Denison News says too many
young men are eudervoring to live by
their wits instead Of by honest labor.
This is the reason there is so much
gambling and crime. Too many young
men try to live by their wits when
they IRE sadly deficient in that quail

merchants aud professional men, when
they might make passable mechanics

In Texas where no wss so loved and

1t is estimated now that the South
will raise, this year, about five million
bales OF cotton, two hundred thous-
and h,tsheads of sugar, and nearly
six hundred million pounds of tobac.
co. Thi. will be- half million more
bales of cotton, twice as much sugar,
and twelve millions more pounds of
tobacco than she ever raised before.
If prices continue fair the South will
be comparatively richer, when she
markets the present crop, than any
other section of the country.

lsM' S'
The governor very sdroitly refers
to the oomptroller's report for the us
cal years ending thirty.frst OF August
1876 and 1879, to show deficiency 10
the revenues for these years, but fails
to show that any such deficiency exist.
ed on thirty first of August 1873 and
1879, and also fails to give thu true
reasons why these Deficiencies in the
revenues existed in 1876 and 1877, and
why they did not exist for the years
1878 and 1879. The amount stfhcient
to meet the expenditures for those
years was collected from the people.
The people paid their taxes and the
money failed to reach tho treasury
The revenues even for those years
would have equalod the expenditures.
But the treasury was robbed, not after
the money had reached its vaults, but
while it was in transit from the people
to the treasury. The sherifs and COL
lectors Of the taxes, who were deteul'
tiers for those and previous years to
the amount ofAbout one.half million
dollars, took advantage of the detects
in our tax laws then in existence. and
have to this good day failed to pay
the money into the treasury. But un-
der the tax laws of 1876, Of which
Speaker Cochran is the author. no
such robbery has taken place; but on
,he contrary, tho revenues have been
equal to the expenses. These laws are
just beginning to develop q happy
change in our state finances 1t will
be observed that the assessment tor
1877 was made under the laws of 1876
but the collection on the assessment
did not commence until after the thir'
ty.frst Of August 1877. 1t is estimated
that there is now due, and owing to
the state by defaulting sheritfs and
collectors. nearly $500, 900, upon much
Of which suit has beeh brought and
judgment obtained. But sherifs and
securities have been sharp enough so
far, to keep tho state from collecting
much of it. Would it not DO tho part
of wise craftsmanship to divine some
means by which at least part of this
money can be collected, and honest
and innocent securities relieved from
further liabilities and embarrassment.
1t is true that the constitution. of 1876
inhibi.s the Legislature from granting
direct relief to defaulting collectors of
public money. But there is nothing
in the constitution to prevent the
legislature from authorizing the attorn-
ey general, after he shall have exhaust
ed all legal means of collecting
the debt to advertise and sell the judg-
ment against these parties to the
highest bidder for cash, providing it
shall bring not less than 20 or
80 is per cent. Of the judgment and
cost. Ofcourse these claims if bought
ut all. and we have the best assurance
that they would be, will be bought by
the sureties or their friends. This,
we are confident, will bring at least
$50, 900 into the treasury.
We learn that there has been col
lected at the end Of judgments the
rise of $50 900 from these delinqueuts.

"HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER"
IF THEY DESERVE IT.

"Ilonor thy father and thy mother that
thy days may be long in the land the Lord
thy God hath given thee This command
ment is, Of the whole ten, the one we often
est hear cnjoinded upon the youth Of our
country; probably The reason for this may
be discovered in the arrogance and ever
powerful selfishness 50 prone to dwell in
the human heart Just why it should be-
so forcibly Impressed on young people,
only, is not quite easily understood when
we come to remember that we all have, OF
had, fathers and mothers of our own, how.
ever far away our childish years; and that
no age or term OF life is mentioned or in
any way impressed in the command as pc.
Rod of our existence when it is void or is
even to become 50. What, if, in obedience
to the laws of inheritance cannot honor
my father and my mother because, forsooth,
they, from being the unhappy progeny
Of q like unhappy parcntage, could not
honor thcirsl Shall my days be short,
when my parents and theirs before them
lived long in the andI Were it better for
me had my torcfathers accepted the alter
native and died young, than that |, too,
should have lived and honored not my father
and my mother! Shall it be accounted MS

is mine the Lord my God hath given it
me mine Internationally; the Injunction
here given altcrward and can
honor my father and my mother
and live long or transgrcss the COM
mand and die young. Even rs | write
this seem to remember that the promise,
above, is givGn-that no penalty is eXactcd
if the command is broken; and what Il
blessing for us poor UoytalS, that it is so.
There are 50 few of US who really do, in
its fullest meaning, honor our fathers and
our mothers, How many Of US are worthy
that our children should give us even their
love, much less their honorl How few Of
us, in truth, have any moral right to de.
mand rs much from our children. the inno-
cent children that we gave no honor to,
