for like improvements in Texas. and
thus our people are fast being edu-
Gated in the belief that our most in
telligent, gifted and patriotic men.
though thoroughly devoted to the
constitution and well being of the
country, are without influence at
the Federal Capital, simply il is
feared because they represent Il
Southern constituency, and that the
only benefits now 10 be derived from
the general government is to be
found III the mea@er and Inadequate
expenditures annually made bv il
within the limits of the state for
public improvements. We trust.
however, that this is but temporary.
and that time Will cure the evil. and
while every lover of his country
must deeply regret this evil, and
that the administration of public
affairs by the Federal government
forces such a conclusion upon the
minds of our people. Yet we can
rejoice that before us i'll the service
of our beloved state there
is room for hope, and for rich re-
wards, and and grand achievements.
This vast extent of territory, an
empire within itself, purchased and
cemented together with the blood
of our fathers, is spread out before
us, and capable of being developed
into the grandest common
wealth on the American con-
tinent. As an organized State,
1t has been transmitted to us,
with her glorious history to be pre-
served, developed and pressed on
to that grand destiny that awaits
her, when, as u still united whole,
zone and inseperable," she must be-
come greater, more grand and more
glorious; until, in point of civiliza-
ton, material wealth and political
power, we shall behold her without
an equal-the presiding queen of
of the American Union.

AN election bribery case was made
out against one Thornton, i'll Now
York. He ran for county judge,
stating that the salary of the office
for which he was running was too
high, agreeing, if he were elected, to
turn half of il back into the county
treasury. He was elected and did
rs he promised. His opponent
brought suit for the office, claiming
that Thornton's offer was bribery"
of the electors. Judge Osborne,
before whom the case came, decided
that he is right. He refused, how
ever, to give the other claimant the
office and declares il vacant instead.

Lieut. Gov. Saycrs the Examiner says:
"Lieut Gov. Sayers, for the last two
years president of the Senate, practically
retired from that office on Tuesday last
in manner at once graceful and i'm
pressive. In the usual address by the
lieutenant governor at the opening of the
Senate, he outlined that policy which
stems to him, in common with large
number of people of similar views, to be
the policy which should direct and
mould the legislation of this state. That
policy would embrace: A school system
commensurate with the prosperity and
importance of this great state the re-
moval sof all stumbling blocks in the
way of giving stale aid to the encourage
ment of immigration; that the lines of
railroad huilf and projected in and
through the state should net enrich the
cities of the north at our expense because
of our lack of seaparts, but that the
state should see to it that larbsrs are
opened on our coast. This is the Ian
guagc OF craftsmanship it is OF a policy
broad aud comprehensive; ii looks not
merely to the present, but To the future,

charlatanry, than we fail TO distinguish

TO THE UNINITIATED.

The report of the Senate Printing
committee, made yesterday, touch.
ing a proposed contract for publish.
ing the journals, is in favor of rates
higher than were proposed the day
previous by the STATESMAN firm
The first bids were presented, by an.
thOrity, on Saturday, and they were
a good distance apart in figures, the
STATEsAAN's bid being 40 cents for
composition, per 1000 ems, while the
other was 53 cents. Composition lie
the great item Of expense III
printing. and it is the same
on any given amount of matter
whether large or small type is used.
The STATEsMAN's proposal was also
less for paper, and this is the next
most expensive item i'll printing.
The STATEsMAN's bid was made in
conformity to instructions from the
chairman ef the committee, that bids
should not be for printing from
type as large ss long primer, and
that IL should not be larger than
bourgeOise, which h the type that
was usedi in publishing the "Legis-
latlve Record" for the Sixteenth
Legislature. The STATESMAN es-
tsblishment was then prepared
TO do the journal printing
with long primer, bourgeoise.
BREWER or Ronpareil type, aud
the opposing bid was made
from Il printing concern. which was
Hot prepared to print the journals
from long primer, and yet il pre-
scented bid to print with this type,
the use of which il had been stated
by the highest authority would not
be allowed. In face of these facts,
both bids were rejected, and new bids
were demanded. Bn Monday fresh
bids were made in accordance with
demands, and the STATESMAN bid To
print with long primer WAS the
highest; yet the bid that was favor
ably reported, Yesterday, was
higher bid than that. presented on
Saturday by the STATESMAN. With
printing from bourgcoise and the
smaller types it was intended TO
give the official proceedings of
the Senate large circulation by
publishing in the STATESMAN the
same matter as would be used for
IL quartO edition OF the journal.
This was not anticipated with the
use of the larger type, long prim-
or, and hence tho STATESMAN bid
was higher than for the smaller type.
Had Il plan been cOnc0cted with
the STATESMAN concern, by which
long primer forms could be used,
first for Legislative Record" and
then for bonded contractor to pub
fish the iOurnals in book form the
second bid of the STATESMAN could
have been made lower than its first.
But the STATESMAN had no Hand
in such measures, and hence, through
the course of the Senate committee,
the State Printing Board may have
nice case of Swindelling. Our
purpose has been to give the official
proceedings of the Senate all the
circulation possible. and not 30 car
ry out purely private scheme at
public expense.
