A Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald seems to
think that Democrats and Green
hackers may combine to control
Congress against the Republicans.
Were the Greenbackers to act with
the majority, they could have no in
fuence, and it appears reasonable
that they should now ally them
selves with the Democrats as they
have done with Republicans, for such
purposes. "Gsth,' that most vera
clous correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
@The rumor about combination
of the Greenbackers and Democrats
in Congress has this point in its IA
vor: That thousands of people are
waiting for some opportunity to
make the government turn its face
against the SPECTATORS, consolida-
tors and conspirators who are using
their wealth to rob less wealthy men,
and as many of the poor as they can
get in"

the county judge, it is as true as
mathematical calculation can make
anything, that he can get from sew

There are nany competent and con-
scientious men III every county

and who would visit each school.
at least once month, and
he will be paid well for his services.
Many county judges are not suited
to this character of work, and if the
Legislature can thus create super
intendent, who will be able to do
what some county judges cannot do,
on account of their numerous other
duties, very material improve
ment can be made in the school sys-
tenn. During this last term of court
in Travis county two school teachers
have been found guilty of the Of
fense of making false returns, hav-
ing authority from trustees to sign
names, and It is probable that one
sixth of the public school teachers
in this state might thus be forced
into the penitentiary. These evils
can all be corrected by the employ
ment of superintendents, not on the
frightful plan proposed by the Sec
retary Of the educational board, but
without the expense of one dollar
over and above what is now paid
to county judges who cannot from
the nature of their duties, become
regular school Visitants.

BE EQUITABLE, AND THEREFORE,
JUST.


The Dallas Times takes alarm at
the expression of Capt. Eddy, Mr..
Gould's representative, and wants
to know if the legislature viii con-
fer the veto power on railway cor
porstions. Let us be just, both to
the peopleand to these corporations,
for out of such course both must
most permanently prosper. The
legislature should certainly meet
all questions required promptly and
boldly, and be not afraid to leg
islate in behalf of the railways,
when need be, and in favor of the
people, when public exigencies re-
quire. This railway bill now before
the legislature is very severe in its
provisions, but if legislation on the
subject of railways be necessary,
then the legislature should not haste
towards an adjournment, because
this defeats all changes for such
Legislation. The bill should be
taken up and pushed to a
conclusion, and there should not, be
any act, leading to the inference, as
was yesterday limited on the floor of
the Senate, that the adoption of
resolution to adjourn has any bear
ing whatever on this proposed rail-
way legislation. The STATESMAN
has always been the earnest friend
of railways, and it is unwilling to be-
lieve, for a moment, that a ma
jority of a Texas Democratic
legislature would drop all legis-
lation, at an opportune time,
that the railroad companies may
have everything their own way.
The rights of corporations and of
the people are involved, and while
we would see neither oppressed, we
are by no means prepared TO say
that'a precipitate retreat from ques-
tions involved would.be credible to
the legislature. The grandest
development of Texas is involved
in the progress of railway building
within its limits, and the vast expen-
diture of money, now being made
for such purpose, deserves the most
liberal consideration; but to indi-
rectly say that the people have no
rights, worth considering in these
premises would be going step
too far. The railroad compa-
MES have no right to the "veto"
power, and certainly they would
not secure conclusion, virtually of
this nature. They are working for
the people as well as for themselves,
and their managers are usually wise
enough to know that in mutual con-
cessions. if needful, there is to be
preserved reciprocity of interest
and amity profitable to both.

MIR. GOULD ON THE REAGAN BILL
In regard to the Reagan bill Mr.
Gould saws:

Gould says:
at is wrong and, in my opinioni
contrary to the principles and spirit
of the government and of the con-
stitution. But even if it were sound
from the point of the lawyer 1t is
wrong commercially. Congress
should not converted into a board
of railroad control to govern all the
railroad corporations Of the country.
There may be some evils incident to
railroad management now, but ma
ture has passed stronger and more
effective interstate bill than an
American Congress or any other
Congress or Parliament will be like-
ly ever to devise. 1t is the water
system of this country-the Missis-
sippi river on one hand, the great
lakes and the Hudson river on the
other. These highways hold the
railways in check. and thus the
railroads hold one another. The
trunk lines have, each one its
own, diverse and sometimes rival in
terests to protect. In the keen and
eager competition between them the
public will find its surest and
strongest protection. Bills of this
character, as said, are doing more
to retard our growth than anything
else; in fact, they are the only brakes
on the wheels. And we hear OF
them all over. In every state in the
Union almost there are score or
more so-called patriots who are he
roically endeavoring to save the
Union from the corporations. Men
in England and France, i'll every
quarter of the world, who have
money to invest, read the speeches
and the propositions of these people
with amazement and lock up their
safes. The order to the New York
brokers to buy this or that
stock is thrown in the fire.
American railroads have enough to
contend against without this ad
ditionaI burden being placed upon
them. Great storms or floods some
times sweep away the earnings of
weeks and months. A bridge is
carried off and receipts vanish into
the treasury of rival road I'M
til communication is re-established.
The plains have been covered with
snow, and receipts for weeks do not
begin to pay expenses. The wise
gentlemen in Congress and in the
state legislatures, whose main busi-
ness is to save the country-to save
it, too, from the aggressions of the
very men who have the most inter-
est in preserving it-never think OF
these things; but they are among
the problems which the captains OF
these great industries have to meet
and solve.

THE Missouri Senate has passed a
bill requiring every person driving
Texas, Mexican or Indian cattle into
Missouri to first execute bond in a
sum of not less than $1,000 to every
county into which he drives them,
to indemnify the public against any
disease disseminated by said cattle.
Railroads transporting diseased
cattle, are liable to heavy fine.

The Pennsylvania railroad has
been making long and elaborate
inquiry into the duration of steel
rails, and it is found that soft steel
rails wear away less than hard steel
rails. This is because the little par
ticles which rise on the surface of a
steel rail break off under the wheels
when the rail is hard, and hammer
down if it is soft.

DEPENDENT, DEFECTIVE AND DE-
LINQUENT.

Inc dependeng, defective and de-
linquent classes of the country, are
securing most diligent attention
from one branch ofthe census depart
ment. The number of institutions
Of all sorts where these classes are
taken care of amount to $500, not
counting great many city prisons
and town almshouses. The investi-
cations look into the statistics of
crime and punishment, includ-
ing the judicial proceedings in
criminal cases in all of the courts of
the United States,and before all JUS
tices of the peace, also, a
complete survey of the subject OF
pauperism, including not only sta
tistics of its extent and causes, but
the methods of admins teriDg
pauper relief in all its varied forms,
and the legislation respecting such
relief by states, counties. cities and
towns; also, the investigation of
all other forms of misfortune and of
public and private charity, with the
exception of the medical statistics
of hospitals and dispensaries. Un-
der this head are included insanity
idiocy, the condition of the blind,
and of the deaf and dumb, and the
care of neglected and homeless chill
dren in the institutions, such as Or
phan asylums, etc. There has
been large force engaged in
the preparation of digest of
the criminal statutes of all
the cities, with view 10 settling the
nomenclature of crime, and deter
mining the kind and degree of pun
ishment awarded 10 each class of
crime in each state. The result of
this work will reveal the imperfec-
tions of criminal laws, and laws
governing charitable institutions
prisons, etc., in such manner as to
elicit earnest effort for amendment
and reform. There will be given a
summary Of the results obtained by
the labors of the charitable in all
the institutions of the country of
every class; an exhibit, clearly, ofthe
number, condition and discipline of
both penitentiaries and the minor
prisons, with a classified statement
of the number of inmates, whether
awaiting trial or serving term of
imprisonment; to present, for the
information of the public, statistics
of insaBity. ldiocy and other forms
of misfortune, better worthy of
confidence because more complete
and accurate than ever before
obtained. To exhibit the entire
working of the system of criminal
courts, and to illustrate fully the op-
GRAFTON of the pauper laws of the
several states and territories, such
studies of the social condition of
country cannot fail to be highly sug-
gestive and productive of great
amelioration in our statutory legis-
lation, as we'll as in the condition of
the unfortunate classes of our popu-
lation, whose interests and welfare
are SO bound up with those of the
entire community, that whatever af-
fects one must affect the other. In
this investigation large force has
been engaged, and, besides the re-
ports of enumurators, there have
been consulted by letter 10000 ply
sicians, and 10000 justices of the
peace, and other persons.
