LONDON, July 90.--In the House of
Commons Gladstone said that before any
action was taken regarding the second
Suez Canal, the House should have an
opportunity of expressing its opinion on
the subject. The Government, he said,
desired merchants and shippers to have
ample time to consider the matter. The
Government does not intend an early re-
newal OF negotiations, as it is h, peless
to consider the question fairly as long as
it is entangled in politics.

nounced to-day that the Northern Pa

from the East to San Francisco at the
same rate as to Portland, and that the
managers will demand the pooling Of
freight by all of the transcontnental
roads. Such action on the part of the
Northern Pacific will, il is believed here,
permit the San Francisco merchants,

continue to successfully compete with
the East for the trade OF the Northwest,

In a recent address before the Hi
nois bar association Mr.. Bonney, its
president, stated that the greatest Oh
stacles in the way of prosperity of
the legal profession, the most serious
hindrance to their usefulness. the
sources of greatest injury to their
clients, the deepest dissatisfaction and
prejudice, are the delays. uncertain
ties, and expenses of legal proceed
ings. The losses and the anXieties
arising from these causes are often
more the results which the sutton is
finally allowed to take out of the
scales of justice. He said, "that no
one ought to be heard in court of
justice except upon the condition of
submitting both to do and receive
substantial justice, without regard to
any technicality or matter of form.
Let the law provide" he added, shat
no judgment shall be set aside or re-
vesed in any case, civil or criminal
provided it shall appear from the
whole record that Substantial justice
had been done"

Widespread Dissatisfaction.


Great dissatisfaction exists all over
the state with regard to the lease of
the penitentiary, and it probably will
not be confirmed by the legislature.
The impression prevails that if the
lessees can make money out of con-
Wet labor, and acquire wealth from
manufactures operated by them, that
the state could do so, and that the
state would be inclined to treat the
convicts better, and be enabled to
utilize their labor exclusively within
the penitentiary walls, instead of
hiring them out on farms or to rail-
way constructionists. The opinion is
general that convicts should receive
humane treatment, and reformatory
measures should be used with them
as far as practicable, which is not
likely to be the case if they are farmed
out to third parties whose only OBJ
ject will be to make all the money
they can by the contract.

YESTERDAY the senate committee
on internal improvements reported
adversely Senator Terrell's railway
bill. 1t provided for three railroad
commissioners with power to compel
the attendance of witnesses, and to
hear proof on charges of extortion
and unjust discrimination; to report
all such cases to the governor and at
torney general, with the evidence.
1t required suit to be brought by the
attorney general in such cases, also
that inquiry be made into the cost of
constructing each road in the state,
the amount of its bonded debt, of its
gross earnings, ETC., and that publica-
ton be made whenever road per-
sisted in unjust discrimination or ex-
tortion when required t. desist by
the commissioners. 1t allowed each
commissioner $500 per annum,
and authorized them to receive
three cents per mile for each mile
travelled in the discharge of their du-
ties, authorizing them to go to any
part of the state when necessary to
hear complaints against railroad COM
panies. The bill also provided for u
railroad engineer, with the same sal
airy allowed commissioners. 1t re-
quired him to inspect periodically ev-
cry road in the state, and to report its
condition. If unsafe for passenger
travel it required the road to be made
safe in period to be fixed by the en-
gineer, in default of which it required
suit to be brought by the attorney
general against the road, and that
publication be made in a newspa-
per published on the line of the
road, warning the travelling pub
lie of its unsafe condition. 1t APP
propriated $4,000 to carry out the
objects of the bill. The bill is anala-
gous to the Massachusetts law regu-
lating railroads. Senator Terrell has
been opposed to extreme or.hurtful
railway legislation, and does hot be
lieve the legislature can intelligently
fix rates, but favors the creation of a
commission to gather and report facts
for future legislation. The defeat of
his effort to secure commission and
engineer may be regarded as evidence
that the senate will do nothing on
that subject this session, as no other
railroad bill is before it.

Can't be Altered.
TBellville Standard

The STATESMAN says some senator's
have cut off their subscriptions be-
cause of its thorough exposition of
the lease system. When they again
offer to sacrifice themselves for their
country they should be remembered
by the people. Men with such mar
row minds have no business in a
legislative assembly. A great many
persons in Texas think the lease sys-
tenn should be abolished, and no
amount of opposition on the part of
their public servants will alter them
in their conviction.

AN eight-year-old Baltimore girl

AN eight-year-old Baltimore girl,

of congestion of the brain, caused,

but she suddenly broke down and
died in a delirium which plainly and
pitifully revealed its cause. Says the

1t is Brutal.

The killing of two convicts at Cisco
on Wednesday, by a guard, while the
convicts were attempting to escape,
is commended to the consideration of
the legislature as an argument in IA
vor of ratifying the penitentiary
leases. 1t is but human nature for
prisoners to attempt to gain their lib
erty, even though they have to take
desperate chances. Numberless con-
victs have been shot down like dogs
under the Texas lease system. The
system is not human-it is brutal.

THE plan of banking in the Missis-

THE plan of banking in the Missis-
isippi river is futile. The outlet sys-
tenn appears to be the only remedy
that may be applied to prevent these
great inundatious. Like vessel
that is filling with water, if con-
tinued, it must soon overflow unless
cocks or leaks take away the water.
These great bayous that intersect the
ow lands were placed there to
take away the waters of the great
river through hundred different
mouths, and when an attempt is
made to wall up the mighty current
the perversion of nature results in
widespread destruction. Capt. Cow

theory, and the sooner the govern
ment adopts it the better it will be

Using Plain Terms.



The STATEsMAN's reply to the let
ter published in the Express of the
18th inst. is more severe than digni-
fled, but is perhaps fit answer to the
letter in question. Gov. Ireland needs
no such defense as was intended to
be made by the Austin correspondent,
nor does the STATESMAN deserve the
abuse which it received at the hands
of the Express correspondent. We
believe that the STATESMAN is honest
in the course which it has pursued in
the matter of the penitentiary lease,
but at the same time we don't believe
that their exists sIch Il state of facts
as will Justify its course. At all
events the matter at issue between
the STATESMAN and Gov. Ireland is
too small to justisy so much talk.
But we do admire. the courage of the
STATESMAN which inspires it to use
plain terms regarding both men and
measures

Too Late In the Day.
sherman Courier


Let the governor come squarely to
the front. This is vital issue, and
admits of no quibbling. If the gov
ernor is determined to stand by the
lease, let him say so and give us his
reasons. We are bitterly opposed to
what we consider one of the most
gigantic frauds ever forced upon the
state, but we are not yet ready to con-
denim Gov. Ireland for the stand he
has taken, for he may explain his POI
sition to the entire satisfaction of the
people of Texas. But his reasons for
sustaining the lease are certainly in
order, and in terms most emphatic.
The thousands of influential men who
helped place him where he is demand
an explanation-an explanation clear.

Should go Slow.

The Print has been merely an in
terested spectator of the fight for and
against the ratification of the peni-
Tertiary leases, but it has seen enough
to justify it in advising the house of
representatives to move cautiously in
seconding the action of the senate.
There is indisputably a very strong
sentiment in the state against the
ratification of the leases, and the cry
of sob" has been raised within the
ranks of the staunchest Democratic
legion. The representatives of the
people can not afford to knore the
wishes of the people, and Il the peo-
pie say the leases should not be rati-
fed their voice should be supreme.
We have no criticism to make upon
the action of the senate or of the
governor in the absence of any posi-
tive information of intentional
wr0ng-dc:ng, but the ratification of
tho penitentiary leases by that body
has an unWh0les0me appearance. The
house should 90 slow.
