Prohibition in Texas.

GALVESTON, March 24th.-The bill to sub
nit to the people constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture, importation
and sale of alcoholic drinks in Texas was de-
feated to-day in the House by 81 to 31-not
the requisite two-thirds. Several members
were absent. A motion was made to recon-
slider this vote. The friends of prohibition
viii consent to exempt beer and wine.

Convention. His nomination is, in effect,
a declaration on the part of the President
that the patronage of that State viii not
be confined Tithin the line Of the Conk
ling wing, but that such line will be
ignored. Opposition to the supremacy OF
Senator Conkling viii not therefore be
bar to all recognition as member of the
Republican party, as Mr.. Conkling would
himself make it. In this matter the Presi-
dent had choice only of one of two courses.
Either all Republicans opposed to Senator
Conkling must be denied all voice or other
participation in the distribution Of the
Federal patronage as absolutely as if they
were Democrats, or the Conkling and anti
ConkEng line must be ignored and the OPP
position to the Senator cease to be regarded
as placing Republicans beyond the pale of
party consideration. The nomination Of
Robertson indicates plainly that the Presi-
dent has chosen the latter course, and that
he viii hereafter judge the republieanism
OF members of the party in New York by
a national standard rather than by the test
of personal fealty the Senator would make.
By this broader policy an independent Re-
publican becomes something more than a
voting machine, useful in winning party
victories for Mr.. Conkling to enjoy, or
for gaining political power for Mr.. Conk.
ling to WELD. If the Presidents policy is
successful, the effect viii tend toward the
obliteration of the Conkling and anti. Conk-
ling line and the unifcation of the Repub.
lican party in the State of New York.

TIE LEGALITY OF THE YOSEMITE
COMMISSION.

The Sapreme Court of the United States
has rendered decision in the case of
William Ashburner, plaintiff in error,
against the People of California, which case
involved the legality of the appointments
made by the Governor of California of
new Board of Commissioners, in pursuance
OF an act of the Legislature of this State.
approved April 10, 1880. The decision
sustains the decision of the Supreme Court
of this State, and confirms the legality of
the new Commission. The opinion was
delivered by Chief Justice Waite, and the
main grounds given for the decision set
forth are to the effectfhat the transfer and
acceptance of title created trust from
which the State cannot depart without
consent of Congress, but that the trust
might be enforced or the grant vacated by
a breach OF the stipulations. While the
State cannot commit the management of
the trust to any other governing body than
the Commission stipulated in the Act of
Congress, it may limit the term of such
Commission. The State was not only en-
titled to do SO. but was required to carry
out the trust by appropriate legislation.
In the light of this decision the preserva-
ton of the Yosemite valley and the Mari
posa Grove of Big Trees is duty incum-
bent on the State, which may be enforced
by the General Government, or in Its op-
ton the grant may be vacated.

ASSASSINATION as AN k1p.

AS method, assassination is barbarous
as an aid to any cause, it is valueless. It
never helps on the contrary, it retards
The Gar of Russia was but the exponent
of a system. To assassinate him was
to infict no injury upon the system,
as it withdrew from it only
his personality and substituted that
of another autocrat. Opposition to au-
tocracy has been offered in defense of the
assassination of the late Gar, but that
ground of palliation does not make the
assassin any the less brutal, personal
murderer. The effect of assassination
is simply to discredit the very cause
it is intended to aid, and to lead all
not concerned in it to look upon the party
of its espousal as the incarnation of bar
barism-a bar directly across the way,
and barrier in the path of civilization
Assassination is no more an aid to the pro.
gress of civil liberty than any other bar
barous act as, for instance, any act which
indicates that the votaries of one side are of
barbarous tendencies. 1t is, in brief, of no
more effect than an act of cannibalism,
for the mutilation of Alexander's body by
the murderous bomb which crushed him so
horribly, is exactly of as much help to
Nihilism as if the murderers had cooked and
eaten their victim.

A TIMELY wARN1Se.

The Fresno Erpositor remarks upon the
progress noticeable in that section, and
claims that it is greater than in any other
part of the State. It says that steady
stream of new settlers is coming in, that
new houses are spriuging up on every
hand, and that new enterprises are putting
a thrifty face on the whole county. But
it proceeds from this text to point out an
evil which it fears, if not checked, may
offset all the benefits expected. This is
the tendency to oyerdo, the disposition to
profit Immediately, the inclination to put
up the prices nearly to the very highest
notch it will bear, and to raise the local
rates in various branches of business. The
Erpositor's warning is timely. Exactly
what it fears is being done is what hap
pens when there is over-production by
manufactures, which is inevitably followed
by stagnation and idleness. 1t is very
difficult to teach the people that the spec
ulative spirit is the unstable one,
anu ING uupiohtdnAS oHo III hAO Gnu.
1t is better by far to be content with
average continued prosperity than enjoy a
temporary boom that is to be succeeded
by long period of dullness. OF course,
incoming i.l. 50 ion, demand for arabic
lands, genera! Prosperity OF industries, will
work an enhancement of values but the
natural increase in this way will always be
exactly proportionate to the demand. 1t
is the Spectator who "corners, forces, I"
and thereby repels, the investor, and drives
him to less anxious fields, where his purse
and his personality will be deemed an ac-
QUESTION to the community. Fresno county
is not the first section, should it fail to
heed the advice given, which has suffered
from the want Of ordinary good Judgment
among its people. The common effort
should be to crush out all endeavors to
speculate upon the incoming stranger.
California has had an unenviable reputa-
ton in the past regarding this matter, and
now that there is opportunity to establish
q. better one, every community should
bend its efforts to crushing out the evils,
the foreboding shadow of which the Fresno
editor already sees in his county.

GENERAL GRANT RESIGNS.

The accuracy of rumors concerning the
resignation of General Grant from
the presidency of the proposed New
York worlds fair has been verified by the
event. The reason assigned by General
Grant is the absence of interest on the part
of the leading capitalists of the city of
New York in the success of the proposed
exhibition. In other words, General Grant
believes that the exhibition will be a
failure, and he is too careful of his reputa-
ton for success to risk it in a venture
where only Indifferent credit awaits even
the most brilliant success. For it must be
confessed that successful skirmish in the
field of military achievement can confer
greater renown than the most brilliant
success in civil life, notwithstanding the
latter may call for the exercise of greater
energy, broader powers of combination
and higher executive faculty than would
be called into play in the conduct of a
great military campaign.

THE coLLEcroRsH1P OF NEW YORK.

The recent nominations for Federal APP
pointments from the State of New York
have been from the ranks of the Conkling
wing. Upon this fact the press of the
country generally had predicted the theory
of reconciliation between Blaine and
COnkling, but the appointment of Judge
William II. Robertson to be Collector Of
the Port of New York throws an entirely
new light upon the policy of Mr.. Garfield
concerning the distribution of favors to the
two wings of the Republican party in the
Empire State. Judge Robertson is the ac.
knowledged leader OF the Independent or
anti Conkling Republicans of New York,
and led the anti-Grant division of the
delegation from that State in the Chicago
