prise in collecting news is one thing, and ed
itoiial ability is another, and the specials" TO
all these papers are very frequently utter slip
slop, twadde and ta6y-puHs Of men and
women Of whom the general public knows
nothing and cares less. Many Of the country
newspapers are too large for their own good
run on too expensive a scale, but they are
progressive, enterprising and ably conducted
in the main. Here and there one is spiteful
and coarse and vulgar.
ALL other professions have their regular
system ofethics for the guidance Of their mem
bers and the regulation Of their intercourse
and dealings with one another, and it is high
time the press gang had its own system OF
ethics and enforced II. The Press association
the State might, with entire popularity, I'M
der,ake to methodist such a system Of ethics
and to procure its adoption, with penalty OF
refusing to exchange with any newspaper
which violated 1t. There is no semblance Of
excuse for the indulgence in unseemly per
sonalties by editors Of newspapers, and the
practice should be sternly discountenanced,
since it lowers the dignity and impairs the
usefulness Of the press. Editors should write
in the style in use among gentlemen, that is,
with courtesy and dignity, and unless they
will do so they should be debared from all
the privileges accorded to newspapers. Men
Of brains can discuss questions Of public
policy for months without running into in
decorous personalities, or using the vocabulary
Of Billingsgate. Pleasantly, wit, humor and re-
tort, should be met in the same vein and with
good humor and courtesy or else passed BY
in silence
WITH her immense area Of public lands all
belonging 10 the State Texas should have
been the richest State in the Union, with over
flowing Golfers. She owned billions Of acres
Of land Well, it is nearly all gone and Texas
is hardly whit better of than her sister
Southern States 10 her finances. Her public
school system is either fraud or a humbug.
Ia many counties the public schools are
taught four or five months in the year. What
is The matterl What is the cause Of this
The State has been defrauded out Of the rub
Ii; lands and the proceeds Of sale have been
wasted aud squandered in every imaginable
way by the Legislatures. No State has had
more corruption, fraud and rascalty in land
matters, and the worst Of it is partyism has
covered up the tracks Of these manifold frauds
aud screened the guilty parties from punish
ment. The Democrats have wasted and
squandered this immense domain and the
proceeds Of the public land actually sold, for
they alone and the people Of Texas have to
thank them for all the frauds and mismanage-
ment about the public lands. The LIGHT
favors the surveying and selling out OF every
acre OF public land to small farmers and bona
fde settlers and stopping corruption and fraud.

The Payment of the State Debt.
 NASHVILLE, Feb. Ex-Governor Bates pre- scented his message to the Tennessee Legis- lature today. It deals with the debt ques- ton almost exclusively, entering into min- ute account of the previous efforts produced. He takes the stand foreshadowed in his csu- vass and suggests the payment in full of what is known as State debts proper, which consist of $2, 11s, 1000 out of bonded in- debtedness of $30, 1000, 900. He also recom- mends the payment in full of Mrs. Folks bonds and the educational bonds. The re- mainder he thinks should be funded at 50 cents on the dollar in thirty year bonds bearing three per cent. interest. He takes the ground that the bonds in dispute were saddled on the State at time when nearly three -fourths of the people were disfranchised by the construction policy and are therefore legiti- mately subject to sealing because the real taxpayers never had any voice in the cre- ating of them

Not Gobbled Up by-Jay Gould.
 NEW YORK, Feb. The statement that negotiations were in progress for the leasing of the Mutual Union lines by the Western Union Telegraph company is authoritatively denied. The only consultation which has been held was one looking to the abandon ment by both companies of the various law suits which had been instituted. During one of the conferences Jay Gould asked Presi dent Moore, of the Mutual Union company. what he would take for lease of the Mutual Union wires. Mir. Moore asked MT. Gould what he would give and there the conference ended. It is said that upon this small basis of truth has been built the circumstantial story of the leasing of the wires, and that it was circulated principally at the desire of Jay Gould as bull movement in Western Union.
