THE land league is suppressed, its
meetings closed, its orators silenced
or in Jail; and yet the condition ol
Ireland daily grows worse. Those
who demanded the coercion laws as
sufficient remedy, discovered the
mistake and demanded the suppress
sion of the league. They now ind
that utterly insufficient to stay the
course of agrarian outrage. More
shootings and murders are re-
corded every week now, than dur.
ing any week when the league
was in operation. The measure
which provoked such unseemly ap-
pIause at Guildhall, and was hailed
as the first step to the restoration OF
order in Ireland, has effected moth
ing of the kind. Meanwhile, the
appetite for strong measures and
restraints grows by that on which il
feeds. Perhaps the next demand
will be for the penal laws and pro,
testant ascendancy. The truth is
that to coerce O whole people, and
especially an embittered and quick
witted nation like the Irish, is al
achievement too great for English
craftsmanship.

1T is known that the Methodist
Episcopal north has been agitated
by great heresy case, that of Rev.
DR.. Thomas, of Chicago, resulting in
his suspension from the church.
The judicial conference, which final
ly acted upon the case, reached con-
clusions, based, it appears, more
upon personal feelings than upon
faith. A grave question arises upon
the point, which bears, probably,
in q collateral sense upon
more churches than the M. T., north.
What is to be done with ministers
who sympathize with DR. Thomas,
and who hold views for the holding
of which he has been turned out OF
the church? Some of these men
may be not only exceedingly re-
spectacle, but also quite important
This church can not afford to LET
the matter rest where it is. Either
there must be a few more heresy
trials, or the gentlemen who hold
the Objectionable views must be ac-
corded the largest liberty to hold
such views as seem good to them
In the latter case, it would seem but
common justice to welcome the
heretical Thomas back to the told
from which he has been cast out, for
churches certainly can not assume
to eject a man from christian or.
ganization because they differ per-
sonally on minor church matters.
Tyranny should be left to the prac-
tice alone of temporal power.

OUR diplomatic representatives
in Chilli and Peru were as far as
possible from proper accord. Gen
eral Fitzpatrick told his hosts, the
Chilians, to go ahead with Peru as
they pleased. Hurlbut resented the
proposal to annex his diplomatic
sphere to that of fitzpatrick, and
gave a very active support to Senior
Calderon's provisional government.
Neither minister really represented
our country's interests. We do not
want Chill to annex Peru. Inter-
national cannibalism between re-
publics is bad example, and we
did not want to have the Peruvians
suppose that we were prepared for
any active intervention in their be-
half. Then, too, we would, in case of
Intervention, be compelled to back
it with our glorious fleet, directed
by the brave Sir Joseph Hunt, and
we could not spare him from the
tender supervision ofladies at Wash
ington. But the sudden death OF
Gen. Fitzpatrick puts an end, prob
ably, to the Chili-Peruvian complica-
tions.

ACCORDING TO an Austin special
10 the Galveston NeaoS, land certifi-
Gates will be issued to railroads,
and as there is no land now subject
to location, the land certificates will
be comparatively worthless. The
issue of such certificates should
cease, as it is not at all creditable
for the state to be party to such a
swindle, because it is nothing but a
swindle to issue land certificates
when there is no land upon which
to locate them.-Brenham Banner.
The law -directs that the officers
shall issue these certificates, but it
also exempts the state from any re-
sponsibility on them outside OF unap-
propriated land. Persons applying
for certificates, therefore, take them
at their own risk. The officers have
no power to refuse their issuance,
and to do so would, in some instan-
ces, still sndanger the rights of those
who apply for such paper.

THE New York Graphic, evil
IDENTIFY representing the plans of the
protectionists, to find a channel
through which all the surplus funds
of the country may be turned loose,
as water, through fioodgate, thinks
there need be no concern about the
excess of cash-which has only been
sixty-two millions in the last five
months-for it can all be used in one
way or another. We may " create a
new navy" for instance we may
improve our coast defences we may
also cast lot of cannon, as great in
destructive capacity as those which
the European nations have been able
to make we may improve our great
water ways; we may construct
the international park at Niagara
Falls; "and in dozen other
useful, necessary and welcome
ways" distribute the cash Such
suggestions are signs of many worse
things. The consenting to all the
wholesome ways" suggested
seventeen in number-would be but
small part of what we should be
doing were we to yield consent to
the myriad schemes of plumber now
proposed at Washington, that the
most favored class in this country, a
class given special protective legis-
lation, until it may dictate any
course for legislation advantageous
to it, may be still subserved, while
the balance that threatens to weigh
down popular government becomes
irresistible.

"BURKE's Texas ALMANAC for
1882 is before us, filled beyond ex-
pectation with most admirable mat
ter concerning Texas. 1t is, as il
claims 10 be, an emigrant's hand
book, replete with every sort Of
instruction valuable to either the
new conner or to the old settler
The book, however, is specially
adapted to satisfying inquiry in
other states about Texas, and 10
every thousand of them sent

say the information derived
therefrom would lead thousands OF
settlers to Texas. People, who seek
information as to Texas from such
sources as the Texas Almanac reach
the conclusion, upon the accurate
information therein contained, to

We would be pleased to see a hun

books sent to inquirers. Such q
distribution would add millions to
the wealth of Texas.

THE Mormon question must be
settled, and congress should begin
it by ejecting Cannon from the seat
in Congress which he has disgraced
and which he still disgraces. Let
these MormOns know, that to dis.
obey the laws of the United
States places them beyond the
pale of political recognition, aud
then let the law touching
bigamy be enforced against them
with the greatest vigOr. If the
thing can not be done at Wash
ington, send one down to Austin,
aud he will be taught how to
have more than one wife. We
are moral community, we are, and

ness in marriage to be practiced in
these parts. He who doubts it, let
him ask the gentleman from Wis

THE idea Of holding a convention
of Texas stockmen meets with ap-
proval. AS place for the conven-
ton Austin is suggested, and Feb
ruary is named as the proper time
for its assemblage. The stock in
terests Of Texas are of the greatest
Importance, and no doubt body of
representative stockmen, assembled
at the capital just in advance
of the meeting of the legis-
lature, would induce such recogni
ton on the part of legislators as
its needs require. There is no doubt
that these stockmen could, while
here, induce the governor to en-
body in his call for an extra session
of the legislature such suggestions
as might cover any legislation i'm
mediately required for the
best protection of the stock in
terests. AS to the asseInblage

be made a larger and more repre-
sentative body here than elsewhere.
Not long ago southern and south
western Texas were the great stock
regions of the state, and though
vast herds have been moved
from these sections toward the
northwest, still there are world
of longhorns grazing OH these old
pastures. Austin is of easy access
by rail from the vast prairies of the
south, from San Antonio, Goliad and
Victoria, and by February the Mis-
souri, Pacific will have made direct
connection between Fort Worth and
the great northwest, and the capital
city, at which place resides a
good many of the cattle kings, would
be very proper place for the as
semblage.

THE american represents senti-
ment in the Republican party an
tagonistic to trickery and trading in
politics. These arc the practices
that threaten to destroy the very
principles of our government, and,
unless a reform IN the civil service,
covering these infirmities of our
system, be speedily adopted,
there is no telling into what
condition this country may sink.
The lamentable tale told by the late
election in Virginia is, that Republi-
cans, there, encouraged by the present
federal administration, have sold
out principle and all else for
office alone, and that now the very
element to which they have loaned
power for defeating Democrats has,
as base intruders always do, repudi-
ated the contract ard retains the
offices. Touching the results of
this wretched Virginia campaign
the american says:
"The Virginia Republicans who
deserted their own party organiza-
tion TO JON the faction of Demo-
cratic Repudiators are to be re-
warded fittingly. Neither Mr..
Lewis nor any other man of them is
to have the senatorship from Vir-
| ginia. The faction which embraces
about fifteen per cent. of the vo-
ters of the state has one senator IN
the person of Mr.. Malone, and is to
have the other in the person of Mr..
Riddlebarger. If Mr.. Lewis and
his friends do not feel as did the cat
when she had pulled those ches-
nuts out of the fire, it is because
they do not appreciate the situation.
There is, however, a fitness in the
selection. 1t marks the genuinely
repudiationist character of the
movement which such papers as the
Boston Advertiser and the New \ Ork
Times, and such respectables as the
union league club of New York,
have helped to secure the control of
the oldest and proudest of our COM
monwealths. By all means, let Gen.
eral Malone put the author of the
Riddlebarger bill in the forefront,
as the best symbol of the victory
which has been won by destroying
the Republican and outvoting the
Democratic party of Virginia.

THE Democratic party in Pennsyl-
vania is weak, but it Is commended
by the Ame7can, a Republican pa
per, for placing in office such men as
Mayor King, of Philadelphia, Comp
troller Pattison and State Senator
Gordon. Such men as these, pui
forward by Democrats, received
the support of reformers in the Re.
publican party, and the fact shows
that majority of the people in
Pennsylvania, where there has been
much corruption, want purer gov
ernment, and therefore honest men
to fill places.

GOVERNOR HOLIDAY, of Vir-
ginia, closes his honorable admins
tration worthily by message to the
legislature, in which he denounces
"readjustment as dishonesty, for
which there is "no justification or
excuse," and accuses "the federal
government, or the party directing
its destinies," of using patronage,
power and money to hurry Virginia
along the" rugged and disreputable
wsy" " of repudiation, which he de-
clares to be breach of solemn pro-
mise, which goes like a Damascus
blade to the very seat of life of a
republic or state.

influence known to civilization. The

demns what the former often dare
not refer to.

thirty of his tribe, were captured by
the Mexican soldiery, and on De-
cember 1st Argatu and others were
shot at Presidio by order of the
