Lease of the Penitentiaries.
Southeast Texan. |

Texas, with her boosted "cash bal
ance" and her bonds at 40 per cent
premium, is not able, according to
the verdict of her senate, to resume
control and management of her pen
itentiarieS. The chief argument of
those VIII favor the ratification of
the lease is on the score of economy;
asserting that the state cannot now
afford to resume control of her pris-
OnS, as it would be too expensive.
How can individuals lease the state
prisons, meet all expenses and
then pay the state a clear profit
of $4,000 per year, if the state is not
financially able to run these institu-
tions? The lessees evidently see "big
money" in the lease, or they would
not make such a determined effort to
get it ratified by the legislature. The
object of state prisons is, or ought to
be, topuniSh, as well as to aid in the
reformation of criminals, and not for
the purpose of speculation, either by
the state or individuals. If the lessees
can make money out OF the leases,
and pay the state a bonus, why could
not the state so manage her prisons as
to meet the expenses of their manage
ment and maintenance without draw
ing funds from the state treasury?
This lease business is certainly no
credit to our state, though it be a for.
| tune to a few individuals.

A Coffin Unearthed by the Rain.

Judge Tegener yesterday found a
coffin lying near the road, in slight
"washout" on West Pecan street,
near Judge Moore's residence, and he
took DR.. Cummings and impanneled
a jury of inquest. The coffin contain
ed the remains of white child in an
advanced state of decomposition. DIR.
Cummings judged it to have been
six months old at its death, which
occurred about twelve months ago. The
front of the skulrWas all broken in;
but the doctor could not tell whether
this was done by the conclusion of
the coffin in being carried along by
the water, or before death. TheIcoffin
was a fine, black covered coffin, with
silver-tipped fastenings; but none OF
the city undertakers remembered to
have sold any one like it. In accord
ance with these facts. the jury re-
turned verdict of death from I'M
known cause of an unknown infant
and the remains were buried by the
county,

Mr.. FLOWER, the representative

made himself very popular with his
fellow members by the number and
quality of the dinners he gave while

it all, and earned their Unsurpassed

part of his salary which covered SO
much time as he had been absent
from his seat while member. Worse
than this, he pointed out the existence
of an old law (sections 40 and Al OF

such deductions to be made from
monthly payments and mileage in al

Draw the Distinction.

Il
When Lieut.. Gov. Martin went
home the other day, sick and feeble,
the Texas agent of the Pullman Car
company rendered him the use of a
special car for the journey. The ten
der came too late, as Mr.. Martin had
already started for Corsicana. But
some of the journalistic "sentinels on
the watch-tOwers" have discerned a
suspicious significance in the Incl
dent. The Cleburne Chronicle, for ex-
ample, puts its thoughts quite plainly,
saying: "Why should a lieutenant
governor receive more attention than
any other sick man? OF course, this
obSequiousneSS is not disinterested."
Some people are too prone to misin-
terpret and distort the acts of corpor-
atiOns, simply because the doors are
corporate rather than individual.
In honoring the lieutenant gov
ernOr the Pullman company hon.
ored the people of Texas whom
he represents. When Representative
Adams, of Wood county, died few
days since the International railroad
supplied special car, Hastily draped,
to convey his body home. 1t was a
graceful, delicate courtesy, but of no
value to the dead man. Yet it was a
courtesy to his family, his constitu-
ents and the body to which he be-
lOnged. We have known railroad
companies in Texas to furnish a spe-
cial car for the use of a poor widow,
who had no claim of any kind on said
companies, but whose misfortuneS
challenged sympathy. Very often, as
in the case of the lieutenant governor
and Representative Adams, courtesies
to 1ndiyiduls are courtesies to COM
munities and the public at large,
And the railroad companies, just like
all the rest of US, have natural de
sire to do whatever will please or
crafty the public. Everything that
is done by a railroad does not spring
from venal or even improper pur-
