JUDGE AMOS MoRRILL, late Judge Of
the United States court for the Eastern
district Of Texas, died at Austin Tues
day night, from heart disease. Judge
Morrill, has been n central figure among
the prominent men and times in Texas,
and his course upon the bench was
marked with justice and an honesty of
purpose. lie resigned his position last
summer, but the President, up to the
present, has failed to make the appoint
ment to fill the vacancy. There have
been nearly score of applicants for the
position made vacant by the resignation,
and now by the death, of Judge Morrill,,
among which Judge A. j. Evans has
been conceded to be the most prominent
and one who will in all likelihood re-
celve the appointment, which, even his
pronounced political enemies, concede
him the ability to fill.

Gordon's Terseness

An English newspaper prints illustra-
tons of General Gordon's terse speeches.
When he entered upon his duties as
Governor General of the Soudan it was
expected that he would make long ad-
dress but he dismissed the assembly with
the single sentence: 81 will try 10 hold
the balance even" When his views on
the Soudan appeared in the columns of
a newspaper he remarked: "a shot has
been fired" When he wac sent to the
Soudan he said: 81 have received orders
to cut the dogs tail oil, and | will do it,"

loss falls on the people, who are free
from blame. If the people could only
realize the fact, that they can make and
unmake all the politicians, from the
highest to the lowest, and compel politi-
cal parties to consult the public good,
we would very soon experience n salu-

comprehend their power, as well as ex-

"Ir LOOKS" says the New York
Tribune, "as if Mr.. Randall's appropria-
ton committee were going to be guilty
of the old Democratic trick of cutting
down appropriations below the necessi-
ties of the Federal government in order
to make a show OF economy before the
country. The proof of this is found in
the Postonlce appropriation bill as
finally decided upon in committee. a
heavy blow is struck in it at the eff
cheney Of the railway service, and n
ridiculous clause directs that no post
master shall receive over $1,000 n year,
including, of course, the New York
postofllce. The saving which Mr..
Randall will say can be made in this
way is S5,0OO,0OO. Undoubtedly he
hopes the Democratic party's political
capital will be increased in proportion,
but it will not. The country under
stands this economy trick too we'll"

The Houston Post of Tuesday was an
illustrated issue and contained portra its
of trio of leading railroad magnates,
who rule much of the Texas roads, being
C. p. Huntington, II. w. PIERCE and
Leland Stanford, with history oftheir
lives and list of their grand enter
prises. The enterprise of the Post is TO
be commended. The more familiar the
public become with the history and lives
of such men, the better they appreciate
their undertakings. Every man is the
architect of his own fortunes, and If he
has the will, and the pluck, and the in
dependence, he will push himself to the
top. This is the history of almost, with
out exception, of all the moneyed men of
our times, and the early lives of Messrs.
Huntington, PIERCE and Stanford show
that they commenced at the bottom
round Of the financial ladder and slowly,
but surely, gained the enviable positions
they now command.

THE New York Sun, speaking of the

temper of the country regarding this
subject, the majority of voters through

and the free traders and partisans of a
