The Palestine Adcocdte wants the

upon the point as follows: THE leg
islature meets in February. There
are irregularities and defects in the
present bulletin-board system of
Texas that must and will be RENE
died by the next legislature if those
gentlemen desire to truly serve the
interests of their constituents. In
order to make things more binding,
we suggest that the Press Associa-
ton of Texas meet at Austin during
the sitting of the next legislature.
Who will second the motion? OF
course we're not going out there to
bull-doze our repI esentatives, or to
count any one out, but if we are on
the ground we can make better re-
port of the way they do their duty,
when we come home. All that will
fetch 'em. Let's meet them at Aus

from wine but from all fermented

truest sons of temperance held their
own for seven centuries against great
odds of heavy-armed Giaours, ex-

Honest Money Means National Prosperity.

There may be many causes for the
cessation OF constructive enterprises;
but, among them all, any doubt
about the stability or quality of the
money of a nation is one ofthe most
potent. 1t is not intended to argue
this question at this time; no man
of any intellectual standing or
knowledge denies it; no one but a
fool doubts it; no one but a knave
or fool attempts to prove that such
is not the fact. AT all times, in all
places, and among all conditions of
men, the issue and enforced use of
inconvertible legal tender govern
ment nOtes-Or, what was the same
thing in Great Britain, the enforced
use of the inconvertible notes of the
Bank of England-have worked the
same malignant results; first. I'M
wholesome and speculative activity,
and, next, an almost utter cessation
Of all constructive enterprise.
For six long years we lived from
hand to mouth, as if never a new
mile of rail would be needed, never
a new house be wanted, never the
product of new spindle be requir-
ed F.; we added to our stock of fixed
capital only that which we were al
most forced to add in spite of dis
trust, and most of ou additions were
more with view of saving or COM
pletlng what we already possessed
than of providing for any prospect
i've wants of coming generations.
During this long period the most in
telligent of those who had been en-
gagged in the mechanic arts took up
the new lands in the West,while 9th
ers earned precariOus living on
small job work, or else appeared as
tramps,-a much abused class, who
all suffered for the sins of the most
reckless of their number.
On January /, 1879, the people of
this country were convinced that the
specie standard was restored; in
other words, that the quality of the
money by which their investments
were to be measured was assured.
When this mental change occurred.
when confidence was thus restored,
new railroads were at once under
taken, new mills were projected, new
mines and works were opened; con-
structive enterprise started at once
into activity, and every capable and
willing labOrer was Immediately en-
ployed; the tide of immigration set
this way; and every condition of
prosperity seemed present within
but few months of the time when
all had been complaining of great
adversely, and few had actually ex-
perienced it.
All that had changed ON January
l, was that the government began to
redeem its broken promises, and the
lawful money of the country ceased
to be ie.-InterndtiOndL Reriew.

Regarding the Rothschild case the
Telephone says: "There are but few
states in the Union in which men
with long purses can commit the
worst crimes with impunity. New
York is one, and. we are sorry to say,
Texas is another. Here is muir
derer, who for over three years has
baffied justice, and who, it appears,
will leave Jefferson Jail free man,
unless new proceedings are institute
ed against him. He is practically
discharged already, and his victim
sleeps in a premature grave. There
was no provocation in the act {;
Rothschild dispatched the unhappy
Moore girl merely because he wanted
to get rid of her. No soul in Texas
doubts that Rothschild committed
the murder. Then why is legal tall
ent permitted to be prostituted IN
behalf of keeping a murderer out
of the reach of justice? The ques-
ton is one which law-abiding
and peace-loving people have
asked themselves time and again.
That Texas is no longer the lawless
state of twenty years ago is admitted
by all except Republican journals in
the North. Crime is being relent-
lessly pursued, and disposition to
aid in enforcing the law is cogniza-
BILE everywhere. And yet, in indi
vidual cases, justice is still permitted
to be perverted. No subterfnge, no
loop-hole, no discrepancy, should
ever be taken advantage of to keep
murderer, against whom the deed
Is proven, out Of his just punish
ment. The law gives criminals the
benefit of doubt: the law. however,
was never intended to be con-
strned against itself. The pinch
pie that murderer deserves the
gallows. can not or should
not be circunlyented. Cnhappily
| the failure of justice in cases like
Rothsehild's. Currie's and Grissom's
is paramount to an encouragement
of lawlessness. The latter, il stands
20 reason, can only be suppressed by
q RELENTLESS execution a the laws.
Mercy is ill-iimed when examples
are necessary. 1t is perhaps on that
account that popular feeling con-
demned the liberality Of Governor
Roberts. Texas cannot talnper with
her future; she cannot stand the i'll
repute of her laws not being obeyed.
IL she protect not justice within her
borders, her prestige win fall to rise
\ again after she has succeeded in re-
storing the confidence OF public opin-
ion. The latter is q most difficult
task. All things considered, il is 10
be hoped that Rothschild win at
last receive his just dues
