LET TUE PEOPLE.
We are sorry to observe that those legis-
lsiors who take most interest i'll school
matters and seem to be disposed to advp-
nate the district or local system are pos.
ssssed with the idea that county or dis
,yict tax shall be made explicit and
compulsory. This is handicap 10 the
district system that is very apt to kill it.

heats A FooT-ADZE.
Inventive genius has taken the field and
nroduced neat little continuance especially
sdapted to the clipping of coupons from
bonds. We find it lar superior so a COOP
ers adze for the purpose intended, and we
cheeriully recommend it to our brother edi-
tors. who, by making use Of it, will be en-
abled to devote more time to their papers.
or rive much of the time now consumed in
coupon clipping to the recreation they so
badly need. The coupon clipper is simple
and cheap, and We hope the time is not far
distant when it will be found in common
use among the patrons of the Express
TSan Antonio Express.
EGGs-ACTLY.
There is much complaint among poultry
breeders out here that their hens, though
we'll ted and in good condition, do not lay
eggs. Now we have had "eggs Tor break
fast" all winter, and our stock is not an
uncommon lot either. If You will give
your hens corn at night, and at morning a
little corn-meal dough, occasionally
cooked,l and also little millet
seed for variety, together with
bones beat up once n week, and then
20 10 your druggist and pay twenty-five
cents for u package Of horse. powders, giving
the latter once aweek one tablespoon full
to ten hens, you will soon have more egg:
than you need. Your chickens will re-
spond to the new treatment in new and
giosser coat of plumage, in more gener
Gus outlay of eggs. and their songs, clar or
crows and general jubilee will astonish you

THE SUNDAY LAW.
Texas contains mixed population, il
which is embraced people of many nations
tribes, persuasions and beliefs. But in it,
preponderant sentiment Texas is Christian
state, and the people of Texas are Christian
people They believe i'll the Christian plar
OF salvation, and in the sanctity of tn,
Christian Sabbath N fhau ~,
very well that the Christian religion, il
its purity, is religion of mora
conviction, of gentle persuasion
Of loving kindness. The people o
Texas do not approve of the adoption
down here of the New England, puritan
cal, strait-laced, narrow minded, parisaica
plan OF prescribing for man what he shal
eat, or drink, or wear, or how he shall
spend his time on the Sabbath. There il
nothing in the example or teachings of tn,
Divine founder of the Chris ian religion t.
justify the inference that he would hay,
obedience TO His holy precepts,, enforced by
fines and Imprisonment, by legal prosecu
ton and coporeal punishment,-[ HoustoI

THE RoBBER MAJORITY.
The senate tariff bill has passed, 81 to 10
1t is much better than the bill workin,
through the house is likely to be, but boil
are gross imp0sitions upon the laborin,
people of the United States-all the labor
ing people; those who work in the factorie
and the mines az well as all agricultural la
borers and traders We suppose that wher
the house bill passes, in day or two, i
Will be attempted by committee of con
ference to reconcile the disagreements, b,
the committee representing each body rece
ding little. AT least the effort, if agreemen
can be reached, will be fraud. The rob
Der majority has no desire to represent tn,
people of the United States, and the people
will soon be awakened to an appreciation
OF this'fact, and politically stamp these false
hearted representatives into the earth anC
spit upon them. Should they succeed il
agreeing and forcing this infamy through
Its legislative enactment, it is to be hope(
that the president will exercise his practi
cal Judgment as business man, and veto
the accursed fraud, and then summon ar
early session Of the new representatives, Il
fairly represent the interests of those who
elected them and who rejected as unfit Q

AMAN OF BRAIN.
David Ii, Culberson, representative from
Texas, has made speech IN the house O
representatives, which stamps him a maI
OF talent and patriot. On the proposed
bill reviewing the jurisdiction of the Fed
eral courts he spoke plainly and to TIL
point on the evils resulting from the prac
ice OF permitting SO many suits to b.
brought in the Federal courts. By the prac
tces now in vogue it is common for citizen
to be dragged hundreds of miles to the sea
OF a Federal court instead of litigating tn,
cause in the vicinity. In this wa,
many persons are actually prevented
from asserting substantial rights
and foreign corporations are enabled to de
ieat the ends Of justice in every case in
volying more than $3.50 by removing cause
TO some Federal court so distant that tn,
citizen cannot afford to litigate with tn,
powerful opponent. Few subjects hav,
been of greater evil than this enlargement
OF Federal court jurisdiction, which mean
oppression in the name of Justice, and |
practically denial OF justice. A either
who lives several hundred miles from
Federal court cannot afford to litigate will
some corporation or wealthy individual
whose means afford him the power to pro
Iect litigation indefinitely. Against thost
evils Mr.. Culberson spoke with great force
ana We hope his effort will not be without
euect'-[Stephenville Empire,
