SENATOR HOUSTON objects to the
bill requiring the advertising of ju-
dicial sales, bacause it7would pay
the newspapers. Why does he not
oppose all legislation that permits
the lawyer to make fee? The SEN
stor does not make his living in the
newspaper business, but he hasidone
so 1t Is said, remarkably well In the
practice of law. We, too, would OPP
pose the bill, were it alone in the in
terest of newspapers, but since 1t is
in the interest of securing competi-
ton in purchase, ,and, therefore, better
results both for the creditor and the
debtor, we would have the bill be
ccme alaw. Itisjust though beneficial
in some degree, to that agency which
public men use without stint, when
permitted to do so. ,a.. .'-,....,.-.

THE SCIENTIFIC SURVEY.

The recommendation of the gov
ernor that anappropriation be made
for geological and agricultural re-
connoissance of the state, suggests
an important feature in the early
development of its vast resources
BY means of such survey we may
know its minerals and where we
may expect to find them, our best
building rocks, the extent of the
true carboniferous or coal forma-
ton Of the north and northwest, the
boundaries and thickness of the
rocks of the various geological Pc
riods, the soils of the state, the ma
ture and amount of their agricul-
tural products, the various trees and
extent of the timbered regions, the
grasses, the useful plants and here
found; nor should the climate and
rainfall of the different portions of
the state be neglected. In doing
this useful work specimens will be
collected for a state museum, that
visitors to the capital may at once
see what Texas yields. The COVER
nor, in recommending that provision
be made for this work, has done n
good thing, denoting progress ia the
right direction. When this shall be
done, and the results are published
there will be larger immigration of
capitalists and of men. in moderate
circumstances, the one to invest
money proftably,the otherto have a
better climate and more pleasant
homes aud paying employment. =.

TIE other day Alex.Stephens was
In his wheel chair in the House.
making speech on the acceptance
of the Collamer statue. Members
gathered around him with bended
postures and solemn visage, as if
the thought of death was on every
mind. Entire silence prevailed, and
now and then, when Mr.. Stephens
would endeaver to lift up his voice,
it had shrieking sound as though
of dying agony. The great Geor-
gian's presence in Congress is an. oc-
ular demonstration that there is,
after all but little truth in mems saaa
in cOrpoTe SQno.

THE simplest way to settle this
temperance agitation Is to put the
temperance question for adoption
or rejection, before the people of
Texas. Such decision will be ac-
cepted by the liquor men as final
ity. Local option has been a failure
and they have no respect for the
measure so enforced.

This Black Fever.

the southeast part Of the county near Car

in that locality. Tho victim is farmers
daughter, nineteen years of age, who had
previous TO her illnoss been visiting friends in
Schuykill county, similar case in the
family sho was yisitiHg was mistaken by a
Quack for bilious fever. Tho case has
revived the discussion of the black
fever of 1868, which will be remem-

the coal country, carrying or as II did hun
dreds OF people, among whom were many
prominent men and women. Familo. Of

but II has never been attended with such
