The attempt to prosecute DIR.
Mummsen for the alleged ibeling of
Prince Bismarck, has not been credit
able to the German imperial govern
ment. What should we think if "a
senator in the United States senate
should criticise the policy of the gov
eminent, and should be Immediately
arrested and tried for it2 What would
become of the inviolability of the
representative? and of freedom of
speech? That the learned German
writer should have been subjected to
these proofs of Bismarck's petty spite
must be CALLING to millisps of Ger
mans who are tired of absolutism in
their fatherland.

SOME time ago the STATESMAN re-
commended tile drainage for our stiff
land roads. Now it is told that ex-
periments have been made on some OF
the flat mud roads in Illinois with tile
drainage. The tiles are laid along on
either side and the road-bed soon gets
dry and firm after hard rain and is
even passable after a long period of
wet weather. 1t will be some years
before we have complete system of
solid roads in Texas, and in the mean
time the tile drain is worthy of a
trial. There is not a doubt that our
roadways can be materially improved
by drainage. and that, too, at no great
cost.

GENERAL CROOK has the Indian
policy, so far as the Apaches are con-
cerned, down fine. He favors eXter-
mination, and really that is all that
can be done with the revolving red
devils. 1t is duty the general gov
eminent owes to the people of the
west to protect them against the saw
ages. The life of one white pioneer
is worth the lives of thousand of
the bloody rascals. These carriages
and thieving raids stop the PROCESS of
the west, as they long held the growth
of Texas in check. The difficulties
and embarrassments which pio-
neers have to encounter are nu-
merous, and embarrassing I'M
der the most favorable conditions.
They become overwhelming when
supplemented by such atrocities as
have marked the outbreak of the
Apaches. All the elements of civiliza-
ton and industrial development are
retarded by such disturbances. Capt.
tai, proverbially timid, shrinks from
such encounters. The most adyen-
furious spirits are appalled, at the
menacing calamities that threaten
life and property in New Mexico and
Arizona. There can be no ciyiliza-
ton where there are no homes; and
there can be no permanent homes
where such appalling dangers threaten
the families of the settlers. A hostile
Indian deserves no quarter, and
should receive none. Temporizing
policies are farce.

Census statistics show that the
death rate of the United States during
the last census year was ISL per
thousand. The Medical Record thinks
the returns if complete would show a
death rate of Is per thousand, which
is less than that of any other civilized
country. the range being from 20.2
per thousand in Denmark to 800 per
thousand in Italy. OF the 7SS, $40
deaths in the last census year, classi-
fed by causes, 1851 were from con-
sumption, no other single disease
making any approach to this number
Of its victims. This is only a repeti-
ton OF the tale told by local mortuary
reports almost ali over the country,
consumption always heading the list
OF causes except where a severe cpl
{irlAic prevails.

SENATOR GIBBS bill establishing a
reformatory farm passed the senate
by an almost unanimous vote, but the
house failed to pass it. The peniten-
tiary system will never be perfect I'M
til such an institution is put in oper-
alton. The people and press all over
the state have been demanding its es-
Enlistment at the hands of more
than one legislature, and Gov. Rob-
erts assigned as a reason for pardon
ing boys sent to the penitentiary, that
it was no suitable place for their in
generation. Those who examined
the Gibbs bill say that it was admira-
bly, adapted for its purpose. There
are at present over three hundred
boys under seventeen years of age in
the penitentiaries.

THE reign of dynamite in Europe

THE increase of the Democratic
vote since 1868 has been proportions
ately larger than the increase of the
Republican vote. From Grants plu.

rality of only 9,464 in 1880, with Til

RESOLUTIONS of Respect.

The following sketch and resolutions,
relative to the uutimely death of Capt. F.
w. Jordan. of Cadet Company A, of Drip

ly adopted by the company few day

Capt. F. W. Jordan, Oldest son of Prof.

captain of the abOve-named company and
remained so until March %, 1888, at which
time he was engaged in a sham battle
ally shot him with..a wac, inflicting flesh
wound in the right leg. The wound
seemed to be improving very fast until
Saturday night when it suddenly became
worse. Despite skill he died Sunday,

Intrude Not Upon His Privacy,
Tpolt;,oOra uaraId


Mr.. S. j. Tilden has considerable
vitality yet remaining; he has been
reported for some years in moribund
condition, or at least permanently
dead in the political world, but he ap.
pears to recuperate considerably some
months prior to election day and does
not seem at all disposed to give up the
ghost. At all events, his friends will
not suffer him to die out for they are
constantly keeping him alive in the
pnblic mind by editorial comments.
and his opponents, despite his alleged
debility, deem him sufficiently for
midable to be made the subject of
virulent invective and gross carica-
lures. If Mr.. Tilden has washed his
hands clean of politics and wishes to
pass his few remaining years in re-
tirement and serious meditation, it is
certainly wrong to attempt to coerce
his will, obtrude on his privacy OF in
terrupt his reflections on the tickle
ness and frauds OF political parties.

THE total revenue of the British
government for the year ending March
81, 1888, reached e89, O04, 600, exceeding
the exchequer estimates by over
twenty millions of dollars. The bal
ance in the treasury was e9S,000, or
nearly half a million dollars. Tenn
perance advocates will be gratifed to
learn that the revenue from the sale
of spirits decreased five million
pounds, which shows a considerable
falling off in the consumption of al
coholic liquors. The Egyptian expe-
dition cost nearly four million pounds
The estimate for the next year, Mr.
Childers fixes at e85, $4,000. The pub
lie debt has been reduced about thir-
ty-siX million dollars-not very much

the force debt, which was about foul

twenty-four hours before it was an

There's a Virtue in Mhistling.

An old farmer once said he would
not have a hired man on his farm who
did not habitually whistle. He al
ways hired whistlers. Said he never
knew whistling laborer to find fault
with his food, his bed, or complain of
any little extra work he was asked to
perform. Such a man was generally
kind to children and animals in his
care. He would whistle chilled
lamb into warmth and life, and would
bring in his hat full of eggs from the
barn without breaking any of them.
He found such a man careful about
closing gates, putting up bars, and
seeing that the nuts on his plow were
all properly frightened before he took
it into the field. He never knew a
whistling hired man to beat or kick a
COW, or to drive her on a run into a
stable. He had noticed that the
sheep he fed in the yard or shed gath
cred around him as he whistled, with
out fear. He never had employed a
whistler who was not thoughtful and
economical-American Farmer.
