IKosciusko Star /

So many thousand rails must be .
paid for every year, so much must
he paid for cutting out fence cor
ners and repairing long strings Of
fences, that there is no money left
for fertilizing and improving the
land, which is rapidly depreciating
in strength. For a man to see aud .
to understand that this process /
must soon stop, or the soil will not /
sustain the animal life that is upon
it, requires no moro wisdom than
was possessed by the seven sages
of Greece. Any policy or law,
therefore, which would stop the
leak, and employ the money that
farmers can spare from-their fru-
gal livings to make the land better,
without other injurious effects,
would be a blessing. We think
the "no fence law would do this,
but we should not advocate il if
we did not see how full pasture
privileges for every inhabitant in
the land could be secured. The
law will protect aud secure this
privilege, just as it now secures
the privilege of stock running at

A CORRESPONDENT of the
Louisville Courier-Journal wri-
ting from Chicago, gives some
particulars concerning the con-
tract for building the new capt.
fol Austin, from which the in
ference may be drawn that a
political object is embraced in
the scheme. The contractors
are Illinois men and are backed
by prominent capitalists and
politicians Of that state. Three
million acres of land are given
cor the building, and it may be
the intention Of the capitalists
to colonize this Immense do
main. Divided into 90 acre
tracts there would be no less
than 10000 farms.

the number of cases for drunk-

The figures show very marked
decline in the number of DRINKS,

DRINKS are still caught. Nov

JUDGE MILLER, Of the F.

JUDGE MILLER, of the FEEDER
al coutt at ST. Louis, granted a
writ of error and supersedans in
the Kring murder case on this
bases: The provision of the
constitution of the State of Mis-
sour, in force at the time the
murder was committed and the
indictment found, provided that
one who had been convicted of
or had plead guilty ofmurder in
the second degree could not
again be put on trial for muir
der in the first. degree. The
new constitution of the state
provides that he can. l have
no hesitation, says Judge Miller
in saying thst l think the latter
is a strong case OF ex post facto
law, and it is therefore that l
grant the appeal. Kring has
been in Jail nearly eight years.

The Washington correspond
ent OF the Houston Post in a re-
cent letter says that the Texas
republicans have had an inter-
view with the President and
have pressed upon him the pol
icy of using the influence of the
administration in the next cleo
ton in our state for the purpose
of disrupting the democratic
party, in north Texas particu-
larly. The Post remark S edi-
torially that no doubt the ad-
ministration would be glad to
drive the political wedge into
Texas as it did into Virginia.
The Post has been watching the
political movement in Texas
very closely and it says "the
only hope Of breaking the phal-
anx of democracy is to refrain
from an aggressive campaign
from a republican standpoint.

TIE democratic members of
congress who are in favor of a
revision of the tariff and who
are opposed to the extension
and enlargement of the char
tiers of the national banks held
a caucus in Washington last
Friday night. Sixty-three men,
bers were present and commit
tees appointed in these matters.
Tucker, Morrison, Carlisle, Cox
and Mills are the committee on
tariff and Buckner; Chalmers,
Cobb, Springer and Bragg on
national banks. The meeting
thought to be a big move in the
direction of the above ques-
tons.

lures to suggest that Hal Cos
ling is not the proper person for
president of the Texas Press
Association because he is sus-
pected of being a republican or
leaning that way. This sugges-
ton is indignantly repudiated
by all liberal journalists. The
Texas Press Association is not
a political but a business organ
ization and the political opinions
of the individual members of the
association have nothing to do
with it, no more than last years
