Frederick William ", of
Prussia, once upon a time stop
ped at little railroad station
where deputation; headed by
the Mayor of the adjacent vii
lage, awaited him with an adj
dress. Just as the Mayor
braced himself up to deliver his
grafton, "a neighboring ass did
sing both loud and clear" A
frightful silence ensued, but the
King did not long delay in
breaking it with the paternal
and graceful remark: "One at
a time, gentleman; one at a
time" Paris Paper.

Criminals nnd Paupers.

The support of the criminals
and paupcrs seems to be the
heaviest burden the people OF
Illinois have to labor under,
The leg stature has made APP
preparations for two years as
follows: For the expenses of
the state government. s622,-
900; for the several penal insti-
vns, s-t65,ooo;e for the va
fous cleemosyary institu-
"a, sI,53I,ooo. The two
pits last mentioned making
her sI,o55,ooo. 1t is thus
that-ehe people Of Illinois
pay more than three times as
mich money for the support of
their penal and charitable insti-
buttons as they do to pay the
ordinary expenses of the state
government. The inmates of
the peniteutiaries, asylums, hos
pitfalls and reform schools are in
general terms criminals and
paupers, supported mainly at
public expense. The appro-
priations of SI,53I,ooo for char
table purposes or rather taking
care of paupers is an enormous
amount and the figures are
somewhat startling. In most
charitable institutions the in
mates are almost universally
much better housed and fare
much more sumptuously than
they did before getting
there. The question arises, is
it intelligent charity to provide
a better support for dependents
than thousands of self-sustain-
ing citizens are able to provide
for. themselves? 1t will also be
noticed that in Illinois the cost
of maintaining the penal insti-
ions as nearly two-thirds of the
expenses Of the government,
while the penitentiaries and re-
formatories should be self sus-
tanning. In Texas the cost of
criminals and criminal prosecu-
tons far exceeds that of the
state government.

DEMOCRACY.

On. Whenever the
Fin power; it should ex-
peS1om its ranks every in-
harmonious element. While
th&re may be disagreement in
the party as to matters of poll
cy there certainly can be none
SO tx as principles are concern
ed, and, simply because some
may not approve certain acts of
the majority is no reason for
dissatisfaction. An attempt
may, and possible will be made,
to cause dissatisfaction in the
democratic ranks in Texas over
the free school question and the
attitude of the governor. 1t is
claimed by the governor sfriends
that he is not opposed to the
schools, but we are free to.eon-
fess we can hardly view his ac-
ton in that light; we hope sub
sequent developments will prove
that we have been error. Even
should the governor be individ-
ually opposed to the public
schools, it is onlya private mat
ter with him, and does not and
should not have any effect upon
the party or its organization.
While we adhere strictly to the
great principles ofthe democra-
cy we do not consider that It is
any part of our duty to bliudly
endorse the acts Of any official
elected by the party unless we
are thoroughly satisfied that
they are deserving of commen-
dation. All officers from the
highest to the lowest are the
servants ofthe people and their
official acts are as much a legit-
innate subject of criticism as are
the acts of the employees of in
dividuals: hence, adverse criti-
cism of an official act casts no
reflection on the party as an
