Legislative work for the past two days
has not amounted to much. Members
have been busy enough, but nothing
has panned ont, so to say. The land
question is receiving marked attention
and the disposition to go slow in grants
to the university or anything or any
body else is very commendable The
various apportionment bills are also in
an embryonic state, aud conjectures as to
how this or that district will be made
up are premature and valueless. Sew
eral railroad bills are pending, with slim
prospects of becoming laws. The three
cent bill already passed has prospect
of being vetoed or materially modified.
The tax reduction question is not def
nitely settled, by any means, but some
reduction is assured. BY another week
many of these questions will have as
sumed tangible shape or be shelved alto
ther. But all in all the legislature is
working with a Will and should escape
grumbling criticism.

Gath and the AICaIde.


The day Gath's interview with the al
calde appeared, Judge Terrell stepped
into the governors Office with the paper
in his hand.
Good morning, Governor"
Good morning, Judge, good morn
ing
HGovernor, do you remember a man
named "Gath?'
"Yes, yes; fine fellow. too. I'm
pressed NE favorably. Talked well.
Fine fellow, think, eh, Judge? Fine fell
low
"Yes, Governor, l expect he is. Did he
take any notes."
'No, none at all. Not like these in
fernal Texas newspaper fellows. He
acted the gentleman. Fine fellow, I
think, eh, judge?'
"Sit down, Governor, and let me read
his account of his interview with you"
with me! Damn it, we didn't have
any interview. Fine fellow. Social
talk. Gentleman, sir, gentleman"
"Well, let me read it for you"
Here third party and only witness
to this colloquy, left the room to escape,
he says, the torrent. So we have no ac-
count of how it poured. In about q
half hour, however, when Judge Terrell
retired and another morning visitor was
admitted, he found the alcalde standing
with his face to the window overlook
ing the land Office, aud calculating de-
terminedly, Damn the newspaper
men"

The sober second-thought of the
country, concerning the anti-polygamy
legislation of congress, begins to crop
out here and there. The st. Louis Re
publican moralizes oyer the matter after
this fashion
We think the new law would have
served the cause Of public morality and
decency quite as effectively had it made
proper provision for those whom it will
strike the hardest; the wives and chill
dren of polygamous husbands and
fathers. These innocent victims of Il
great wrong are entitled to some pro-
lection. As the matter now stands.
they are helpless and hopeless. Moth
ing but poverty and shame awaits them,
and evil will be done that good may
come. Could not the evil have been
avoided without losing the good ?
All these contingencies were pointed
ont by many journals before the bill
passed, but the cry was out that the
Mormons should have no mercy. and
congress yielded to the clamor.

A ANondescrIpt American Tevvn.


Ysleta, Texas, is one of the most enter
prising towns in the world. The inhab-
itants consist of Indians, Mexicaus, and
iorty white men and sixteen white wo-
men. There are half and quarter-breed
Indians and half and quarter-breed
Mexicans, and the women are from per-
feet daisies down to the real hard cases.
There are few white men here who
have married into both Indian and
Mexican families, who are rich and walk
around at their leisure. drink their FL
Paso wine and eat grapes. Every acre
of land is in cultivation or subject to
cultivation by irrigation. The Rio
Grande river is one mile wide at this
place. There are all kinds of summer,
tall and winter peaches, spples and april
cots. The houses are built of adobes,
nicely plastered, and are as comfortable
as brick houses. The town is as quiet
and peacable as any place anywhere.

dealer should buy i'll small, frequent
orders, and get his goods to his store

plows, handled hoes. nails, tinware,
glass and qUeensware, by sending
their orders to Il. E. Burnham, this
city, can get their goods quicker, say
ing time, and really cheaper than to
buy east. Burnham buys direct from
factories and importers. Buying in
large lots and shipping by car entire
ly, gives him profit sufficient TO sell at
the same price as wholesale houses in
