majority of the board and conuemns
the legality of sales made under inc
afty-cent act. Mr.. De Morse's dissent
ing opinion is a gem of elevated uic-
ton. The dry, severe severe style oil
official reports is scornedi he touches
the question, and his pen eliminates
the somber subject of laud frauds with
blaze of poetic imagery. Reading
his report one can see In fancy the
horrors of the future if the purchasers
under the Gibson land act are suffered
to rest unmolested. One can shut ms
ewes and picture TO himself great
wastes of territory, over which brullsh
animals take the place of men, and u
few roaming stock drivers very poorly
represent the CHEEKY voices OF happy
families TO be devoted TO the increase
of the industries OF the representative
and martials strength of the state"
The lurid picture startles the behold
err. Think of "brutish animals TAX
ing the place of men, and
"a few roaming stock dri-
vers" who so inadequately repre-
sent the "cheery voices OF happy iami-
lies ~ A cowboy. one must admit, IL
poor representative Of a CHEEKY
voice, and it Jars the sensibility of the
soul to dwell ON the comparison. In
the minds eye one sees roaming
stock-drivers, with its gross associn-
tons of leather breeches and quirts,
revolvers and profanity, greasy slick
ers, irreverence and attenuated ponies,
and opposed to it vision of emery
voices of happy families" with troops
ofmerry children--the "iucrease of the
industries in the foreground. The
mere contemplation is overpowering.
Look on that picture, and on this
In the same lofty and sublime Ian
guage we are .old that "if this wrong
is not eradicated the body polite be
comes cancerous, and the boy now
growing up to Illustrate the future of
Texas will have cause to weep as pa
triot and us an injured citizen bitterly |
curse the wretched incompetence of
the dabbers with state craft |
who imposed an inerad- |
icable cancer upon the healthful body |
the state" 4 cancer, especially if it !
be of the true epitheliomic type, is a
fearful thing TO contemplate; and if
the diathesis of the state threatens
such malady, and Mr.. DeMorsc is
the possessor of n phagedenic, he
ought to be called in without delay.
If il is allowed to progress too far, it is
doubtful if an eXcision would be of
avail. Promptness is demanded, for
we want no patriot believing around
nor citizen swearing because his an
cestors bequeathed him an incradica-
hle cancer for an heirloom.
If the Legislature of Texas can resist
this sublime appeal; If it is not moved
AT the picture of the cowboy supplant-
ing the CHEEKY voices of happy FAM
lilies, " nor frightened at the pros pect |
of IAN ineradicable cancer upon the
healthy body of the state, - then it is
unworthy, weak-a body of boggIers.
Let the danger be known, that it may
be met and provided against.
