The point on which the French cab

much the Imprisonment or Danish
ment of Plon-Plon, but the treatment
of the Orleans princes. and particu-
larly the proposition to cashier them
from the army. 1t is on this Issue that
the minister of war, Gen. Billot, who.
by-the-by, has held that position in
nearly every cabinet for the last ten
years, and his comrade, Admiral Jau-
reguiberry, minister of the navy. diff

AND why should there be objection
to the state looking into the manner
in which she has been illegally de-
privesl of school lands. The law has
permitted one person to acquire seven
sections of lands, but it is known that
this has been evaded and system
of speculation in school lands
has been adopted by rings
In the various counties, through which
one person has acquired, by system
OF fraud, what the law has refused to
allow The STATESMAN is of the
opinion that it is best not to limit pur-
chases; that one person should be al
lowed to buy all the land he
wants and for which he is
able to pay; that the large
live stock breeder, as well as small
FARMER, should be allowed to acquire
land as desired. In other words. we
have always held that the state has
no right TO close against one purchaser
because of his avocation and to open
10 another in consequence of his. All
should be allowed to buy as needs die
tate. and none should be denied land
ed rights because of capacity and
means OF production. But we were

The Virginia City. Nevada, Enter
prise tells of the death of Walter
VIM, at Valley Hot Springs, on the
18th of January. The e - says of
him that he was one OFF, eleers
of the Comstock, and that Ided
in Virginia City, Nevada, many years.
Mr.. VIM was long resident of Aus
tin, was secretary of state under Gov
Houston, and went to the west just
after the close of Houston's admins
tratio9 He was a participant in many
of the stirring scenes of early Califor-
mia, and was on the Comstock when
the great mining excitement occurred.
He came 10 Texas in 1885; was one Of
the heroes of San Jacinto. After that
he served the republic i'll the general
land office and department of state
until after annexation. In 1916 he
joined the troops from Texas, and re-
mained with them during the war
with Mexico. He came to Austin in
1882, and is kindly and fondly remem-
bered by the early settlers who still
survive him. His last visit to this
city was in 1S4S, when he left over
land for California. Touching the
estimation in which Mr.. VIM was
held, the Enterprise says:
"He was one of the best and most
genial of men-a man who wished
well to all mankind. He made friends
of all with whom he came in contact,
and no man ever regretted having
made his acquaintance. Hundreds of
persons in this state and California
will regret to hear that Walters voice
can he heard no more on earth. Hosts
who have gone before will extend
their hands and wave him welcome
as he nears the golden shore" Quiet
as lie was, Walter VIM moved among
stirring scenes in the days of his
youth. He was secretary of state
under Gov. Sam Houston, of Texas,
years ago, and came to this coast just
after the close of Houston's admins
tration. He saw all the wonders of
California in the early days, and was
on the Comstock when the precious
metals seemed raining down from the
clouds. He was about seventy years
of age, and until recently seemed al

The Black Waxy Senator.
Hamilton Times

The black waXy land of Texas is
considered to be very prolific, and
when it raised Rutabaga johnson to
the senate it spread itself. He abhors
water and all that lives in it, espec-
tally fish, which, as food, antagonizes
everything lacking brains. Hence it
is simple analogy when the black
waXy senator introduced bill to cut
off any more state distribution of fish.
He should be assigned a niche i'll the
temple of fame next that of Saint
Patrick, the snake eXterminator, and
be labeled, saint Rutabaga, the Fish
Annihilator."

signing all right and title TO the
lands so filed upon, has acquired land
by process not legal in its effect.
We know cases were such deeds have
been presented for signature. the
signer never dreaming or thinking of
acquiring land. OF course here is an
evasion of the law; it appears as a
violation in fact of a statute. the
purpose of which was to pre-
vent one person from ac-
quiring more than given quantity of
land. The law was directed against
large land owners, and yet when de-
sired large landed property has been
acquired as readily as though there
had been no legislation against
it. These persons, whose names have
been used without themselves ever
having passed a consideration for
land, have been used fraudulently
and he who takes the benefit of such
fraud has certainly placed himself at
the mercy of the state. We
do hope no members of the legis-
lature are personally involved in such
transactions, but even if they are so
involved this is no reason why the
sword of justice should not start
swinging. Let the investigation pro-
