SMILES AND TEARS

BEST Is the man whose font at teara
Is not dried up with lapse OF years:
Blest Is he, too, whose smiles can flow
As they once flowed long years ago.
He has not lost tho gracious art
OF sympathy for Others smart,
He has not lost the charming grace
Which views the world with smiling face.
For as the poets Oft have said,
From tho same source, or fountain head,
Both smiles and tears together flow.

the laundress charges such an extravagant sum
every time she lays her renovating hand upon it.
White India muslin will also be much worn for
evening dress at the watering places. the trimming
being mass of lace and embroidery. and white or
tinted satin ribbons. Lace founcss and muslina
also look we'll when placed over thin tinted mate
rails. such as batiste. The tone given by these
transparent fabrics is more delicate than with silk.
Handsome toilets of strawberry colored Ottoman

hounces being put on with several rows of droop-

The Penitentiary Lease.

. The Democratic convention, alias Texas Leg
stature, now in session at Austin, is now run
ming on 81 day and pickugs.
so far this Democratic assembly has done
little else than talk. 1t has been sort of
crossroads debating association, and the press
of the State (the Democratic press) has digni-
fed the performance b. reporting this talk
every day, as If it was of any Importance to
the people.
Several important measures are still pending.
and now that they have got down to 81 day
ana plcklngs, we may expect some of those
0lllS TO get through. Among the lot is the
lease of the State penitentiaries. This bill has
passed the Senate, and is now before the House.
from Me ha tSe not 3oct ex'ned this this bill but
fair division of opinion in the Democratic con-
vent1On, 1t will answer as well as any bill that
could be passed by such a body. We see no
real reform in the prison system as long as a
Democratic administration holds the reins of
Government in the State. The only idea of the
Democratic Statesman is to get rid of the
trouble of taking care of the criminal classes
and at the same time free the State from all
responsibility for their support. The system
as it has existed during the past eight wears is n

Tertiary on farms and upon public work has

State under Democratic rule degrades IL To the

we understand that the parties now leasing
the penitentiary are desirious of utilizing ali
the labor within the walls of the penitentiaries,
and from our acquaintance with the lessees
Cunningham and Ellis, of Huntsville
and Handy & Co of the Rusk penitentiary.
the State is fortunate in having to deal with
such efficient firms. These penitentiaries can
be made profitable as manufactures, and the
convicts can be taught useful employments~
TINS alone would be sufficient inducement for
the State in making its leases, instead of insist
ing upon plan that will yield few thousand
dollars more revenue. Let the State insist
upon the lesSees making these prisons FIRST
class work houses, and employing the. prison
labor within its walls. The Opposition To the
leases 1t seems arises from a struggle to make
