THE COOPER LAND BILL.

The act of April 8, 1881, grants to
persons who have been permanently
disabled by reason of wounds re-
ceived while in the service of Texas
or of the Confederate states, or to sur
viving soldiers of the Texas revolu-
ton, and to surviving signers
of the declaration of Texas in
dependence, and TO the widows
of all such soldiers and signers and
to the widows of those who fell in
the Dawson massacre. certificates for
1880 acres of land each. The grants
under this bill are those which the
Cooper, bill now before the senate
proposes to make good, by allowing the
owners of such certificates to adopt
the forfeited files and surveys of land
reverting TO the state under the fifty
cents land law for the settlement of
the public debt. This bill was yes
terday laid before the senate in printed
form. The bill provides that any

tilicates in the same manner and
upon the payment of the same fees as
in other cases. Thereupon il
shall be the duty of the
commissioner of the general
land Office to select two corresponding
sections for the benefit of the common
school fund, and to properly mark
and register the sections so selected
for the individual and for the school
fund, and shall send official notice OF
such selection to the surveyor of the
county or district in which such land
is situated, of such appropriation, and
the surveyor shall immediately en-
ter upon record the field notes
of such section, notice of such appro-
priation. This bill has been favOra-
bly, considered and reported by the
committee on public lands, and
it is now before the senate for
consideration. That it ought to be-

Use these people lands and give the
evidences of debt, and then to reserve
from them lands upon which they

Just. But such has been the relation
of the state to the holders of these
certificates. Such relation has been
positively unjust, and the legislature
will certainly do that which is right
in the premises.

THE STATESMAN.
AUSTIN, TEXAS.

The KENDALL REPORT regarding
crookedness in school land transac-
tions is attracting much attention. IL
recites speculation by the use of iic-
titious names, in violation of the law
combining sales TO not more than seven
sections in any county to one person;
that the names of minors have been
used in thus defrauding the
state; that while the minimum price of
lands has been one dollar, the
best lands in vast quantities
has been fraudulently disposed
of at this minimum figure,
and that no higher figure has
been obtained for the best farming
and watered lands; that county sur
veyors are known to be mem
beers of the fraudulent
land rings; that individuals by these
fraudulent practices have acquired
Hundreds of sections in a county that
notes for balance of payments, after
first payment, have never been lie
posted. The report is truly alarming,
aid yet it is no more than what has
been frequently told by the STATES

falling upon our public administra-
tlons; and when this outrageous peni-

THE FATAL ISSUE.

Those who may have any doubt as
to the vicious tendency of this sys-
tenn, under which the state estab-
fishes, in the interest of individuals. a
penal servitude, are invited to read
the speech of Senator Terrell, made
yesterday. 1t is a powerful argument
in favor of putting an end
to this inhuman system, a
thing disgraceful to our civil
lization, blackening to the name of
Texas, distasteful to every sentiment
of morality. and absolutely subver-
sive if every purpose for which peni-
tential systems have been adopted by
governments. The figures given by
Senators Traylor and Gooch
prove beyond controversy the
propriety of resumption, while
the appeal of Senator Terrell in be-
half of its justice is unanswerable. 1t
is boasted on the streets of Austin by
the members of this most powerful
lobby, that the senate is fixed in be-
half of this great public outrage. The
STATESMAN will believe this when
the final vote on the passage of the
e bill is taken and pronounced to be in
favor of the ratification of these
leases. The most powerful influences
in the state government are at work
in behalf of ratification, and if
it be that the senate do not
endorse them. the fact may be
taken as proof that the indepen-
dent masses yet have representatives
at the capitol of Texas. ready to bat
tie with effect for the dignity and
honor of the state. If ratification he
effected, then we may fall back on the
sad reflection that the Demo-
cratic party, like other political
organizations names. men for public
position who prostitute governments
to the basest personal ends. This bit
ter cup should pass. The people of a
broad and enlightend commonwealth
plead that il may.

APPEAL TO SOUTHERN PLAN
TIERS.

The cotton factors of st. Louis
unite in presenting an appeal to
southern planters in behalf of greater
food production in the south, and long
experience teaches us that this ad
vice is good. In Il circular they call
attention to the following facts:
That the south possess the finest
farming lands and the most salubrious
climate in the world, and should be
to-day financially independent; instead
of having to borrow on crop before
it is made, should have her corn-bins
and larders filled before commencing
a crop. Our farmers are asked to
compare their situation with the far
mers of the north and west. The
latter, by systematic labor, are
growing richer each year, while the
southern farmers, with patient toll
and close economy, are neither so
thriving nor prosperous as they should
be. There is a cause for these troubles,
and these cotton men, whose interests
: aSa sely identified with ours, and
10 are in a position to note many of
the evils that exist, offer the fol-
lowing suggestions:
l. The credit system, as at present
in vogue throughout the south, is dis
astrous to the planters and tenants,
forcing them to pay eXtravagant
prices for supplies, and causing their
crops to be forced into market with
such rapidity and in such quantities
as to break prices almost invariably
below cost of production.
2. After noting for years the effect
of large crops of Gotten, we find that
the over-production of this staple is
the keynote to the situation, and we
strongly advise all parties interested
in the prosperity of the south to dis
courage the planting of a large acre
age this year, and devote their labors
first to the raising of grain, cattle and
hogs, and give the balance of their
time to the culture Of cotton.
This policy, it is claimed, will bring
good results in many ways. Many
small farmers, and large ones too. are
so heavily in debt when their cotton
is ready for sale that they are COM
PEELED to let it go, even though the
price is below its intrinsic worth;
while, if they had supplies at home.
produced, and not bought on credit,
they could afford to hold their cotton
until they felt justified in selling.
The price of, cotton to-day is fully
10 per cent below the average of the
past five years, while, on the
other hand, corn is 80 per cent and
provisions 90 per cent above the aver
age. Thus southern farmers are los
ers in two ways. With the produc-
ton of enough provisions on each
farm, cotton would become a surplus,
and soon the incubus of debt would
be lifted from our people, and each
year would record rapid strides in
wealth. Decreased production of cot
ton, and increased production of
bread, meat and other necessaries, will
bring about more prosperous condi-
tion CT affairs. and instead of sheriff
sales to satisfy the mortgages that
the poor laborers must now give,
grinding poverty would be banished
and plenty would pour in upon all.

A Matter Of Principle.
[Granberry vidette. ]


The state should exercise absolute
control over her convicts, as a matter
OF principle. Considering It from a
financial standpoint, the state would
save by resuming control and con-
timing about 600 convicts within the
walls dong term men). above the
profits of the lease contracts, about
$2,0O0,O00 within the fifteen years.
This is considerable saving, and If an
individual would not take advantage
of such a chance to save an equal
sum of money he would be considered
a very poor financier. AS the leases
are for fifteen years, it would not, in
our opinion, be good policy for the
legislature to ratify them. as the
state would be handicapped for that
length of time In case the leases did
not prove satisfactory, and for the
reason that the state can save money
by controlling her convict system.
