A WISE PROvIsIoN.-It has been dis
covered that the Code contains a pro-
vision whereby additions to cities may,
in measure, be controlled for the pub
lie good. These additions are, to a GER
tain extont, placed under the direction
of municipal governments, which may
or may not approve then, as they think
fit. In the first place, more land is laid
of into lots than should be, and in the
next each man laying off tract does it
in a manner to suit his own convenience
and pecuniary interest. He aims, as a
rule, to get out of his tract as many
lots as he can, and to do tais cuts down
the streets, makes improper or Insult
cient allowance for streets, cuts of
alleys altogether, gives nothing to
parks, and makes his lots and blocks of
dimensions unlike those of neighborine
additions. All this can be prevented
under the provision in tho Code before
referred to. This provision is too late
to undo damage done in the past, but ID
in ample time to prevent a continuance
of like injuries in the future. The pow
81 to do this, though, is confined to city
limits, which, in the case of our own
CITY, are not sufficiently extended. The
limits should be extended forthwith, or
in this particular matter. jurisdiction
given TO towns outside their limits.

Much depends. however, upon the
composition of the ways and means
committee. Mr.. Watterson telegra phs
to friends here that sit will fully
come up to the expectations of the
country" whatever that may mean.
Mr.. John Kelly also expresses the
opinion that nothing now can pre-
vent the tariff from becoming the
leading issue in the presidential cam
paign. Perhaps it is unnecessary to
observe that MIR. Tilden deeply regrets
as almost personal misfortune the
defeat of Mr.. Randall, inasmuch as it
threatens to start tariff agitation
that will push out of sight the con-
templated resuscitation of the fraud,

ton in 1884.

\ VERY interesting case, involving
the question as to what constitutes
cyclones, has just been decided in the
United States Circuit court at .jeffer-
son City, Mo. y cyclone destroyed
residence, insured against fire and
lightning. The owner brought suit
against the insurance company TO re-
cover, alleging that his house WIS de-
stroyed by lightning. This raised not
only very nice legal, hut delicate
and much disputed scientific question.
and it was found necessary 10 take
the testimony and deposition Of sey-
eral persons well known in scientific
circles to place the question properly
before the jury. For the plaintiff the
dispositions Of the late Prof, Joh-
| Tica were taken. He inclined very
strongly to the electric theory, a3 did
also another scientific expert. For the
defence the testimony and dispositions
of a number OF scientists was intro.
duced; also the report of John L. Fin
ley, of the United States signal ser
vice, detailed by the government tC
Investigate cyclones, and who has
taken observations of between 600anC
700 tornadueS. The defense admitted
that more or less electricity prevailed
in storms. The court instructed The
Jury that if they found electricity thu
predominant and controlling force il
cyclone or tornado they were TO fine
for the plaintiff. After being ou
about three hours they returned Il yer
diet for the defendant.

THE LAWYERS AFTER FEES.

The Texas slave suit continues to
attract attention. The cause is to be
prosecuted before the court of claims
in Washington, and it is said the
lawyers engaged in it are full of hope
as to their ability to win. Lawyers
are always that way. They claim in
this instance that Texas was admitted
to the Union under different circum-
stances than any other state, and
that these circumstances open the
way to the successful prosecution of
their suit. Under the joint resolu-
tions of Texas annexation it was set
forth that "such states as may be
formed out of that portion of said ter
ritory lying south Of 36 degrees 80
minutes north latitude, commonly
known as the Missouri compromise
line, shall be admitted into the union
with or without slavery, as the people
of each state, asking admission, may
DESIRE" 1t is claimed that the Tex
ans took advantage of this, and framed
state constitution under which slave
guarantees were strong enough, it is
held to make the federal govern ment
responsible for the loss of slaves in
Texas. 1t is said that in the discus
ions in Congress, as to the admis-
sion of Texas, the danger of
slave guarantees were pointed
out and bitterly fought; and upon
these grounds the lawyers base the
soundneSs of the claim. AS before
stated, lawyers are always hopeful, es-
pecially when big fees may be won,
aud this probably is the moving cause
at the bottom of the suit. The South
ern slaves were freed as a war meas
ure, and Texas being engaged in that
war, as well as any other Southern
state, it appears to us no articles of an
nexation could be brought in force to
bolster the claim. Slavery was guar
anteed by the constitution; and there
could have been no stronger surety
than that. The justice of compensa-
ton for all slaves may be recognized,
but even with its recognition there is
no prospect that compensation will
ever be asked or given.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-12-20

IT is said the plan, now, Is to create
committees for the special considera-
ton of all questions relating to river
and harbor Improvement. Hereto
fore the committee on appropriations
passed on all river and harbor i'm
proyements, and it could not give
that attention to claims which made
the distribution ust. The new plan
might be carried a little further, and
special work be assigned TO sub-com-
mitteemen, understanding fully, and
mostdeeply interested in, the wants of
different committees. This plan would
secure big appropriations, through the
zeal of locsl politicians in Congress,
and Colonel Thomas Porterhouse Och
iltree. acting for Galveston, would
make the deep water project boom.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-12-20

THE committee on ways and means
is considered by far the most import
ant of the committees. 1t frames all
tariff legislation before being pre-
sented for the action of the House,
and to it all bills of that nature, and
all bills relating to the general financial
condition of the country, are referred,
Its duty is, as indicated by the name.
to look after the ways and means" of
providing the funds for the supp.rt
of the government. AS well illustrat Il
by contemporary, it assumes the posi-
ton ordinarily occupied by the husband
in the family, Of providing the where
withal' for the support OF the ia mily
while the position of wife is filled by
the committee on appropriations, who
spends the money.

THE Republican organs are calling
Mr.. Carlisle Southern speaker OF
an eX-Confederate House. Let us See
how this is. A majority Of the Demo-
cratic members of the present House
are from the North. The Southern
states proper are represented by seven
ty-fiYe democrats, the border states
(Missouri and Kentucky by twenty
three, and the Northern states by
ninety eight. Even classifying Mis-
souri, and Kentucky with the South
the Democratic representation would
then be tie-98 to 50. OF the votes
that elected Mr.. Carlisle, 80 came from
the North, 10 from the border states
and % from the South. Mr.. Randall's
vote of 50 was made UP of 80 from
the North and 20 from e South. Sc
that Carlisle received more Northern
votes than did R.,. lall. 1t is a wei
known fact that oil the 26 Northern
votes cast for Cox more than half, per
haDs two thirds, would have beer
thor wn for Carlisle as between that gen
Eleman and Mr.. Randall. Another fac
worthy of note il regard to the South
oIn representation, is, that the Exon
federate element Is by no means 81
large as formerly. Many OF the new
members from the South are men wht
have attained prominence inc tn
close of the rei,ellion.
