a CORRESPONDENT of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat writing from the City
OF Mexico, under a recent date, says |:
"The respect entertained for the ex-
President by the more liberal and intel
Hgent people, both native and foreign,
amounts almost to venerntion. Juarez
and Diaz are two names on every
tongue. The memory OF the great lib
orator Is actually wtrshipped. His pic
lures and busts appear everywhere. His
blessing Is evoked on every progressive
enterprise. The name of Juarez, though
he died dozen years ago, is still the
watchward Of Mexican nationalism.
The prophesies built on the accession Of
Diaz to the Presidency once more seem
extravagant. The expressions of conf
dence In him heard on every hand sound
unressonably feryld. But yet in the
prospect OF his elevation to the chief
fancy again is really bound up the hope
OF political ana financial salvation fol
the Republic. An American, who has
considerable interests here, told me In

TnE Bellville Standard. in discussing
the question OF carrying Of concealed
weapons, sensibly observes; "There
seems to be n general demand that the
pistol should go, but the serious inquiry
arises, how shall the demand be en-
forced? Proolamations by the Governor
revoking all authority to carry deadly
weapons In certain frontier counties
will not effect the expulsion of the re-
volver from the principal and more
populous portion Of the State. Nor Is
the Standard able to discern how more
stringent laws will accomplish the de-
sired end, when II Is notorious that the
milder provisions and penalties of our
present statutes on the subject are not
often enforced or inflicted. That the
pistol should go, all good citizens admit;
but a simple suggestion Of more strin-
gent laws on the subject, without point
ing out just what enaotments will ac-
oomplish the desired purpose, tenders
no solution Of the perplexing problem.
So far as diligence on the part Of officers
is concerned, 1t is not probable that,
taking them as a body throughout the
state, those hereafter elected will prove
superior to the corps now on duty. A
feasible, practical plan for the expulsion
of the revolver from Texas is the press
ing demand of the hour, and challenges
the best thought Of our wisest law

country who have raised themselves to
fortunes on ladder of lies. The alarm

good, honest people speak Of these
things. They look upon these evils as
a matter of course. The same indifier-
ence to truth that is found in the COM

Public opinion can never be educated
unless men come forward and show the
courage OF their opinions. Then the

TuE courts are trying to settle the
legality Of pools Of all kinds, and several
rulings have been made declaring certain
pools Of business associations as being
unlawful. Judge Agnew, Of the Penn
sylvanla Supreme court, recently said
regarding pool OF coal companies: at
permeats the entire mass Of the COM
munliy and leaves few Of Its members
untouO he'd by Its whitening blight. Such
a combination is more than contract; II
is an oiiense. In all such combine
