ALONG THE LINE.
Fence cutting still goes Oh, al along the
old line from Red river to the Rio Grande.
Almost every daily paper has accounts oil
fence cutting, and it seems to be just as
hard to catch the law-breakers now as it
ting ftlonyaand appropriated fifty thou
sand dollars for its suppression. Only
few days ago q very large pasture near
Austin was unienced by the nippers, and
80 all along the line.-TBlack Waxy.

CJNMERDATeRY,
Some people and papers have been dis
posed to condemn the special session and
say it has done little or nothing. Yet II
they will examine the governors message
converting the extra session, and read the
laws passed by the legislature, they will see
tnat laws have bsen enacted covering ell
most every point suggested by the execu-
tive. How well these laws will answer the
mine. While waiting for this decision let
us put the most hopeful and favorable. con.
st-uction possible on them.-TBelton Jour-
nall The last special session did very

GOVERNOR IRELAND.
Governor ireland Is the architect of his
own political fortune. He can make Or un-
make himself, politically, within the next
three months All the talk heretofore
about his failure to send out an army to
suppress fence-cutters has gone In at one
ear and out at the other with all sensible
thinking people He could do nothing
more than execute the law as he found it.
But the law has been recently changed, and
q degiee of responsibility In regard to its
execution, never before placed upon q
chief executive OF this state, now rests on
Governor Ireland. He has $4,000 placed
at bis command, with large discretionary
powers In its use, for the purpose Of enforc.
ing obedience to he new laws. VI course,
If pubic sentiment rebels and does not up
hold and su tain those laws the governor
will be powerless to execute them, though
he we're author zed todraw on the treasury
for q million dollars for that purpose. But
we believe the great body of the
people are sick and tired Of internal
strife and are anxious to assist the
authorities In the execution Of the laws.
Pubic sentiment 30 far as the lrsiand al /.
ministrs,ion is concerned is favorable, hat
the popular verdict is by no means fully
70 sde up. Much Isl depending upon the
dc yeIopments OF the next three months.
Prompt, vigorous action on the part OF the
governor in the enforcement OF the law VIII
