tured articles, are as cheap here as anywhere,
and in some cases much cheaper.
ADvICES from Washington indicate that
there is no probability OF securing the passage
of the Mexican pension bill this session.
Though the amount of each pension proposed
is small-but So month-there are 1900
veterans interested in the measure, and when
one considers that something near million
and half dollars will be required annually TO
meet the obligations to be incurred it assumes
national importance. 1t has been before
Congress some time now and further delay in
definitely disposing of it will be the cause of
not a little displeasure.
Two men, Messrs. Cunningham and Ellis,
bid SEQ, 900 per annum to lease the Texas
penetentiaries for term rs years. The
bid was accepted and Legislative commit
tee is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of approx
ing the acceptance. The report should be I'M
favorable. Since the bid was made Colonel
Matthew Patten, well-known citizen, has
offered to pay double the amount and all
statements. as to the subject are in proof of
the assertion that the transaction was Of a
vuasi private character. The disproportiona-
bleness of Messrs. Cunningham and Ellis pro-
position to the benefits to be conferred on the
lessees leaves no doubt that the manifest duty
of the State, by its officers, is to advertise for
new bids or accept the offer of Colonel Patten.
SPECULATIVE interest attaches to the ques-
ton from which quarter will burst the storm
which seems imminent in France. The
bourgeoise and the peasantry are appre
hensive that the army, never intensely Repub
lican, will produce some turbulent spirit
ambitious of military dictatorship, while the
in whose nerveless hands have
slackened the reins of Government, fear an
uprising of Socialists and Communists. The
magnet about which the war clouds are con-
centrating is apparently the bill providing for
the expatriation of the princes of royal blood.
In the Chamber the Bonapartist and the |
Orleanist factions have strenuously oppose |
the Republican leaders who prepared and |
it, but the more Conservative |
Deputies, on whose action its fate depends, |
have not yet signifed the course they will
pursue.

THE Bellville Standard thinks that nothing
but the ballot will satisfy the promoters of
the prohibition movement that they are in a
hopeless minority, and agrees with the LIGHT
that if the bill prohibiting the importation of
deadly weapons should become law the
bully and desperate would ignore its pro-
visions and make victims of persons it had
made incapable of self-defense.
