The Fire.

Shorty before the hour of s2ToIclock
a. NJ, yesterday morning. the alarm OF
fire startled our slumberings Gtizens,
and it was discovered that the frame
building on Grammont, between jack
son and Catalpa streets, belonging to
the estate of Mrs. F. A. Richard
son, was in flames. The fire depart
ment were promptly on hand, but
owing to their steam engine being still
disabled, had to combat the fiery ele-
ment with buckets, which they success
fully did, preventing the flames from
spreading to adjacent houses. The
building was totally destroyed. This
building was in a prominent block of
the city, the Post Office, Offices of the
V. s. & p. Railroad, the Ennemoser
hotel and several residences being
situated in this block and 9in close
proximity to the burned building. As
the house was unoccnpied it is supposed
that the origin of the fire was in
cendiary. The building was valued at
$4,000 upon which there was no in
surance. ! W. q = n

An Odious Burden,


The most onerous duties of the Tex
us governor devolve upon him by
virtue of his membership in the nu-
merouB boards which constitute an
important part Of the machinery OF
our state government. The land board,
penitentiary board, capital board, asy-
lum board, board of education, and so
on 0b Mdaiu03, demand large pro
portion Of his time, and aggregate II
responsibility which it is unwise to
measure out to any official. The heads
of the various state departments are
not excepted from these duties, and
yet they only partially share the bur-
| den, being constituted members alone
of those boards relating directly IL
! their own official business. This nd.
! ditional labor, however, seriously in
! terferes with their regular duties,
and often clogs the workings
of their respective departments.
There is scarcely day that does not
witness Il session OF some board, often
to discuss most important measures.
These must necessarily preoccupy the
gubernatorial mind to the detriment
oflegitimate official duties. Matters
ofgenVal moment are often by virtue
| of necessity thrust aside to attend 4
board meeting Of equal Importance. 1t
was curious freak of legislation
which placed upon the highest official
in the state the greatest amount OF
labor, and that it was unwise IS evi.
denced by daily illustration. The
system of supervisory boards should
( be remodeled. The official duties o.
each department are sufficient t,
engage the entire attention
of their respective heads
and particularly is this true of tn,
governor, who is held responsible fu
the dement's of the entire administra
ton. The establishment of n commits
sion to whom all matters that nov
come before the various board
might be referred Is perhaps the hes
remedy that could be suggested. Jus
tice to the state rs well as the official
demands that they should be relieve,
OF this burden. a policy so obviousl,
penny-wise and pound-foolish Shout,
ut once be abandoned.

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.

Orange Tribune: Reagan is talking
too much.
Galveston News: Has anybody any
knowledge of the whereabouts OF the
Greenback party?
San Antonio Express: There is no
doubt about Mary Churchill being
found. We wish there was no doubt
that we have heard the last of her.
Galveston Print: There are great
many people who have always believed
the state university would be an ele-
plant ON the hands of the state, and
they had many good reasons fol- be-
lie9ing so.
Dallas Herald: II would be GOOD
thing for the country if Sullivan could
visit all sections and knock out pern,n-
nently all the ambitious and amateur
slugGers as he did the one in st. Louis
the other day.
Longview New Era: The accom-
modatlons though separate should uG
tirst-cass for all passengers travelling
on iirst-class tickets. There should be
no difference in the accommodations
on account of race, color, or previous
condition.
Greenvlle Herald: Nearly every pa.
per published in the Fourth congress
sional district has taken n hand in the
abuse of Culberson because of his de-
termination to vote for Randall. How
many OF his papers will publish his
defense OF the man whom they have
50 bitterly denounced?
Dallas Times: The governor has
''cut OUT so much work for the special
session that is not probable it will be
perfectly done, if done at all. There
will be but few leisure moments for
wrestling with the jack-pot-and what
glory Is there in going to a legislature
which has no jackpot attachments?
Bolton Journal: Those people who
expect that the extra session of the leg
islature will materially reduce the rate
of taxation are liable to be disap-
pointed. If The comptroller's estimate
OF the probable receipts and expendi-
lures OF the government for the next
year are even approximately correct
thele is not muck hope of reducing
the regular state tax below fifteen or
twenty cents on the dollar.

FRANK JAMES Is slowly but surely
wearing out the law. Several OF the
remaining indictments against him
have been noHo proscqaied, and the
heat of public feeling against him is
cooling. His freeing ls not an improo-
able event, as the case tried against
him at Gallatin, which was thought
to be the strongest case the state had
against him, failed to sustain the IN
dictment. When the Missouri courts
get through with him there are walt
ing several indictments against him III
Minnesota. Gov. Crittenden has re-
fused to honor acquisitions from that
state for James while there are charges
pending in Missouri against him. a
governor Is to be elected in the latter
state next year and he will hardly go
to the extent Crittenden has in shield
ing the bandit, who will no doubt be
turned over to the authorities of Min
nesota upon the presentation of legal
papers, II the cases against him in Mis-
souri, are not sustained. His prospects
are not cheerful.
