The State Convention of cclored men at
Austin. Tex. which adjourned yesterday, has
Issued a sensible address which commands re-
spect Law and order are upheld against
Avochine. No desire for social recognition is
lexpressed. but a lust demand is made for equal
accommodations on railroads, even if they are
separate. Economy and the purchase of lsnds
and a home are recommended to all members
of the race Finally confidence in the Repub-
lican uarty is affirmed. There is a reasonable
ness combined with common sense IN thus de-
claration of principles and wishes which
good many gatherings of white men might imi-
tate with profit.
Now that the cholera has appeared at
Malta, the English Government will probably
deem it wise to take stricter measures than
fbev have taken heretofore to prevent the
disease from spreading to other British ports
Sir Charles Dixie announced in the House OF
Commons only last Tuesday that it was not
the intention Of the authorities at present to
4 quarantine any vessels from India or Egypt
unless they were supposed to be actually in
fected. A shade of defiance of French criti-
cism seemed to run through the speech.
There Is no call, of course, for any exhibition
Of cowartfce or panic on the part OF England,
France. Spain or any other country; but there
IA neither sense nor reason in Deglecting rea-
sonable precaution.
The public, which has grown weary OF one-

be heartily glad that an examination OF the
Controllers Office is to be made by the Grand
Jury. That is what Mr.. Allan Campbell has
properly desired all along. In that way only
can the truth be reached and the guilt OF the
embezzlements fixed, be it upon the dead or the
living. The method Of inquiry which the Grand
Jury has decided to adopt is unusual; but 1t
viii probably bring about important results.
The iurors deserve credit for the interest they
take ia the matter. Jury duty is an unpleas-
ant task which too many citizens try to sllrk.
1T ia an encouraging sign when n Grand Jury,
drawn at random, contains enough public
sririted men to undertake. tedious investi-
cation at their own expense.

The difference of opinion between the Gram
3pry Of this county and the Federal Gram
Jury in regard 10 Ludlow Street Jail illustrate
The difficulty OF showing up abuses in our cit
and county government. The persons VIII
