FREE GRASS.

The discussion over the fence
cutting question in the Legislature
has taken a wide range, some fav-
oring o herd law and..others taking
an extreme opposite view and ad-
vocating free grass. It is gener-
ally conceded that a herd law is
impracticable at this time, though
at some time in the future it may
be practical. Granting that a herd
law is not now wanted, it is no ar
gument in favor of free grass; the
State owns, or more properly
speaking holds in trust-the lands
having been set aside for the pur-
pose-large quantities of lands be-
long to the public schools, the un-
iversity and the asylums, all of
which institutions are for the pub
lie benefit and in all Of which ev-
cry citizen of the state has direct
or indirect interest. Now every
citizen in the state has an interest
in the lands set aside for the pur-
poses named above, one man hav-
ing an equal interest with another.
Every citizen contributes to the
support of the state government,
and If this burden can in any way
be lessened and an efficient gov
eminent at the same time be main
tanned NIL would be benefited.
To this end the vacant lands,
school, university and asylum,
should be utilized <; to utilize them
they. should be leased, or in other
words men owning stock and graz
ing and raising it on these lands
should pay rent for the same. The
state is under no obligation to fur
nish pasture land for individuals,
for if it furnishes pasture land for
one man any other man is entitled
to the same consideration. 1t is
true by mutual consent in the
agricultural districts the small
amount Of stock kept is allowed
freh range on the common or un-
inclosed land, this however, is a
very different thing from grazing
from so to 5000 head of stock on
public land and paying not a cont
for the same, and but a trife in
the way of state and county taxes.
The San Antonio Light speaking
of the men who are clamoring for
free grass and, free range says:
~They arelsimply migrating spec
ta.ors who take their chances in
raising cattle upon the liberation
accorded them by the neighbor-
hood, wherever there is free range,
and whose interests are not in ac-
cord with the development of the
state. They are not farmers or
producers, and look upon the man
who opens a prairie farm as an in
terloper and an enemy" In short
such men are opposed to progress
in any shape. Branding cattle is
about the heaviest work the free
ranger undertakes, and commuD-
ism enters quite largely into his
composition. The man who raises
stock for a living should own or
lease his pasture lands.

THE ,coLoRED VozE.

The introduction in the senate
by Senator John Sherman, of Ohio,
of resolution to have the Dan.
vile, Va, riot and the election in
the second Mississippi district in.
vestigated by congressional com
mittee, looks very much as though
lit was purely for campaign pur.
poses. John Sherman is one Of the
lenders of the Republican party,
and having no particular political
issue, save the tariff in which men
Of all political shades of opinion
are equally interested, it is deem
ed advisable to make one by bring
ing the Southern negroes into the
campaign and making an issue out
of their, alleged mistreatment-
politically-by the whites of the
south. For eighteen long years
the negroes of the south have been
free men and have fully enjoyed
the right of suffrage during all this
time they have almost uniformly
voted the Republican ticket, and
have voted it as freely as the
whites have the Democratic ticket.
For years there has been no inter
ference with the negroes in the
matter of free ballot. Especially
has this been the case in Texas in
thatpart of the state known as the
Senegambian district. In Fort
Bend, Matagorda and Wharton
counties, where the negroes out
number the whites they have in.
variably elected the men of then
choice, Republicans white and
black, and in one congressional
race before the districts were re
nodded the counties named gave 9
sufficient majority to elect the in,
dependent candidate to congress.
overfthe regular Democratic nomi
nee, who had a handsome majority
in the district except in the coun
ties named. 1t is clear that had
there been any disposition on the
part of the Democrats to interfere
with free ballot on the part o.
the colored voters, steps would
have been taken to fix the Re
publican voters of the Senegam
bian district. In Washington, Wal
Ter, Grimes, Brazos and Robertson
counties the Republicans, on &C
count of the numerous eolorec
population are in the mojority
yet the Democrats never interfere
with the colored voters and in al
the counties named most of tn,
county officials are Republicans
The state, as every one knows, il
largely Democratic, yet,the colore,
people are given indentically tn,
same school privileges as the white
and get their pro rata share of tn,
school fund, and in addition the,
have a branch of the A. and NJ
college and in due time will b.
given a branch of the state univer
sity. The colored people certain
lily have no cause to complain of il
liberality at the hands of a Demo
cratic state administration. 1t ma,
be policy on The part of the Re
publican party managers in tn,

The Waco Day says it is an
even bet that the nineteenth legis-
lature will either repeal the Glib.
son law, or tinker it so that Glib
son will weep as he views what i,
left of it. Texas needs as many
more railroads as she now has and
it will not be a good policy to leg
islate so as to prevent the build
ing of railways. 1t is best to pur-
sue liberal policy. Competition
is the best railway regulator in the
world. -.

The fence-cutting bin was up in
the House on Tuesday and brought
forth some lively debate. 1t is
generally conceded that the clause
making fence-cutting a felony will
be defeated in the House, unless
the free-grass men consent to make
illegal fencing of land felony
also.
