UNCLE DAN STRIKES FROM THE SHOULDER.
! The Galveston News ~ rational enough
| in a general way, and ordinarily can tell
hawk from handseT. Bur upon the ques-
ton of the state executive relative to the
eucs cutti. < trouo es 1t is AZ crazy as .
March hare. Ordinarily, the News would
understand well enough that this is a gov
ernment OF constitutional and statutory
limitations; and that the governor has no
authority except SUCH uS iS NSo'ea III mn
BY the constitution, or the statutes made
in pursuance of the constitution. And
when the News gets mad and bites Itself be-
cause the governor does not attempt to eX-
ercise the arbitrary power OF the African
prince, and have summarily shot ha f
hundred or more people, just to lntlmidate
the fence cutters, it proves simply, rs we
| have said, that on that subject the News Is
absolutely crazy Houston Age.
| GOOD WORD IN GOOD CAUSE,
One mill ion dollars OF the permanent
school fund has already been invested in
county bonds. One million dollars belong
ing to the school children of Texas, but
watch was laying idle, locked up in the
vaults of the state treasury is now circu-
lating among the cities of the state, doing
some good to all, and much good to the
school children or our state, bringing them
an income with which they are to be edu-
Gated. The counties whose bonds are thus
purchased are free and easy and are simply
paying off their debts at an easy rate OF in
| terests. No private Shylock is crushing
them by heavy discount or extortienate
rates of interest. The money they pay cut
as interest goes to educate their children
| How much better to have it thus than as it
was before the adoption Of the amendment!
| One million dollars at interest-One million
safely invested-one million dollars dragged
from its hiding place in the dark vaults of
the treasury and brought to light and cir.
culation. Many objected TO the change in
the constitution, and urged that the money
would be invested in wildcat securities to
be lost. But such is not the case; whole
counties are bound for it; every foot of
land and all personal property subject to
taxation in those counties ars bound for it,

PERTINENT QUESTION.

pie enough to pass laws 30 open up the ay-
