"Homes in Tsxas:" Texas a lew years

THE TROUBLESOME THINE.
The legislature of Texas will soon be In
session and we expect the state TO bs de-
luged with T. food OF demsgogism concern
ing the f.uce.cutting troubles. The Iegis
lature of Texas has not the power to grant
the cry for free grass and small pastures,
end IL is criminal TO encourage an illusion
that can only be granted by whipping the
United States government. There are
many thirgs that Texes can do and some
that She canuoi A law to make the grass

snarny of the fence cutter is those who are

TRUE. AND TO THE POINT.
The governor Of Texas not only PERFORM,
tho enormous duties usually devoiving on
tho chief executive Of great state. but he
IL q member OF the state school board, tho
ssylum boards, the land board, and in fact
he is member OF boards enough TO keep
him perpctually engaged. and ut the last
session of the legislature. an EFFORT was
made to make him member OF a board 1t
was proposed 20 organize TO assess all the
railroads in Texas for taxes-and now the
Galveston News comes to the front end
hsaps all sorts Of abuse and epithets on his
devoted head because he has not the time
10 spare from his other duties 10 transform
himself into q policeman or constable and
70 forth at the dead hour OF midnight IN au
ubiquitous manner In search fence cutters.

of the deep-water problem; II says that
deep water Is an absolute necessity 70
