WHAT is to be done with the school
lands and the public domain Is pecul-
iarly vexatious question, with which
the Legislature must grapple. Its post
ponement to future day will only
deepen the complications, which now
envelop it, and augment the difficulties
of Il satisfactory solution. The Legis-
laturc should tackle the question now,
and not succunb to the fear of losing
popularity by dealing with it. The
school and State lands should be sold to
actual settlers, in tracts not exceeding
800 acres, in five payments-the first be-
ing cash, and the remaindec In four an
nual payments, with eight per cent. in
terest; the land to be incapable Of alien
alton by the settler until he shall have
resided upon his tract four years, and
received patent for the same, after
making proof by four credible witnesses
that he has actually resided on it four
years. Texas needs million of small
farmers, who will raise everything at
home. and support towns, churches and
schools, and she must adopt the only
practicable means of securing them
sell the lands to actual settlers only, and
require them to reside on their pur-
chases four years as a condition prece-
dent to obtaining patents. The school
lands should be sold in small tracts to
actual settlers, on long time, with notes
bearing eight per cent. interest, and a
vendors lien be retained until full pay
ment of principal and interest shall be
made. All such lands should be made
absolutely inalienable until the payment
be completed.

EVERY patriotic. : citizen will indorse
this utterance OF the Baltimore Sun I:
"Restoratlon of confidence will come
with the prompt settlement OF the Pres
identlal question, and then 1t is TO be
hoped that whatever antagonisms may
have been aroused In the course Of the
contest will be rapidly quieted down,
and that the current Of business, which
is always more or less disturbed in Pres
idential years, will again move smooth
ly In its customary channels. There Is
such broad field Of action in the United
States and the country is growing so
rapidly that it is only through great
iinanci crisis, or by launching reckless
ly into speculative enterprises of wild
cat kind. with the inevitable conse-
quences that must ensue, that the pros
perily of the country can receive a
serious check

The Independent Republicans are

SWEEPING and thorough changes are
necessary in the land system of Texas.
The matter has already been too long
neglected. Big land owners are, for the
most part, unmitIgated curses to any
country and obstacles to its settlement
and improvement, and Texas has an
over supply Of such land owners. Let
poor men now have an opportunity to
purchase farms and homes. Let the
State multiply the number of small
farms by wise and liberal Legislation
and put an end to corporations buying
millions Of acres at dash.

TIM Times says: oscar Bergstrom,
Esq, is the only member Of the Legis-
lature representing the Democracy OF
Bexar county, and the Democracy claim
recognition for no other" Possibly
this is so. Colonel w. l.. Thompson,
however, is the representative of the
people of Bexar county, irrespective OF
party. 1t will be remembered that he
was a candidate before the Turner hall
Democratic convention for re-nomina-
tion as candidate for Representative,
but through the manipulations of few,
was not nominated. The committee OF
one hundred thought he was good
enough Democrat and an able Represen-
tative, and they placed his name on the
Peoples ticket, and he was elected.
This probably explains why, as the
Times says, Mr.. Bergstrom is the Repre-
sentative of the Democracy But would
Colonel Thompson have been any more
n Democrat had not the clique defeated
him in the Turner hall convention?

COLONEL A. BELKNAr, in his card pub
lished in the LIGnr yesterday, gave
chunk of information not generally real
lied, when he said that no matter how
energetic or how anxiousa Mayor might
be for the advancement Of the city, he
simply could accomplish nothing under
the provisions Of the present city char
ter. This fact has not heretofore been
thoroughly appreciated, and until the
charter is amended or replaced with
something better, 1t is not likely that
much improvement can he made, ana
this should be the argument for the
adoption of new one. Mr.. Belknap
also expressed another great fact when
he said improvements did not grow. 1t
takes work and push and energy TO
make any sort Of success of II business
enterprise, and the same work is needed
in the affairs of the city. The charter
is what is needed now, and the commit
tee having it in charge have consider
able responsibility in framing its pro-
visions so as to cover the situation and
the needs Of the city, both now and for
the future.

John NJ. Banfcld, Vice President
of the Pioneer Association, while not
denying the language attributed to
him, in front of the TIMES Office, last
Wednesday evening, claims that it

Some Is or 20 men, members of the

in front of the office, discussing the
TIMES articles, and much chatting OF
"joshing" was INDUCED in. In this
spirit some member jol<ingly said
"You just wait, and see what wonders
VIC pioneers will do" or something OF
that kind. Mr.. Ban6cld thoreupon
in the same spirit, said: "Well, just
