ssrhe Iron.CIsd Oath.v

Sunset Cox never made q more elo-
ouent speech in his life than on the
repeal Of the iron clad oath. To the
credit OF moro than hundred Re
publicans in the House be it said that
only eleven voted for the retention Of
this relic of war Legislation. Under
the spell Of Cox's impassioned utter
ances the bill passed the House like q
gale of success. As a similar meas
ure introduced by Senator Edmunds
is pending in the Senate, there is good
reason to hope the present session OF
Congress, whatever else it fails in do
ing, will be signalized by the obliter-
alton of the test oath law from the
national statute books. 1t is high
time to dispense with it. We are a
united people now, and it only serves
to keep alive the memories of an un-
happy period, which, in theprovidence
of God and the common patriotism
and confidence Of great. prosperous
and intelligent people, will never
come to this country again.

one Of the Chavez, family rich and

Chavez himself, in a neat buggy

ferent treatment he had met with in

Three or four days after Chavez
passed through San Miguel, another
caravan, made up of Americans on
their way to California, arrived here
from st. Louis, and after resting
themselves one day, again took up

gational Church at Madison, Ohio,

successful as a revivalist, and finally
gave up the settled pastorate in or

A Fence Cutters Letter.

New YoRK, February 4.-The Sun
has communication defending the
fence cutting in Texas. He says that
by the homestead laws the public
lands were reserved for actual settlers.
They went there under this pledge,
and in time acquired herds OF cattle.
They did we'll, and encouraged others
to follow their example. When It
was seen that the business Of raising
cattle was profitable, large capitalists
non residents, and many Of them
foreigners-engaged in the business,
and sought out some ranches and
brought herds OF cattle from Texas
and elsewhere. They then set to
work stretching wire fences across
the country 30 as to exclude the cat
tie of settlers from grazing on the
lands except in their immediate neigh
borhood BY this means they are de-
spelling the settlers of their country.
1t is called "freezing them out"
They in this wholly defeat the object
if the homestead law, and prevent
the settlement of the country. The
settlers have taken their families and
made the country their home. It is
a country fit for nothing but raising
cattle. II the settlers are deprived
of this resource, they must leave. They
know this, and believing that the ex-
clusion of them from the range is o
violation Of their rights, they have,
in many cases, cut these fences.
They cannot contend with companies
unless the government passes string
ent laws to protect the settlers from
an ancrOachment

TRUE LOVE.

I think true love IN never blind,
But rather brings nm added light,
An inner vision quick 10 .And
The beauties hid from common sight
No soul can ever clearly SEQ
Another's highest, noblest part,
Save through the sweet philosophy
And loving wisdom Of the heart.
Your unanointed eyes shall fall
On him who fills my soul with light;
You do not see my friend at all,
You see what hides him from your sight.
SEQ tho feet thai fain would climb;
You, but the steps that turn astray;
see the soul unharmed, sublime;
You but the garment and the clay.
You boe mortal, weak, misled,
Dwarfed ever by the earthly clod;
I sec how manhood, perfected,
May reach the stature OF a god.
Blinded, stood where now you stand,
Till on mine eyes, with touches sweet,
Love, the deliverer, laid his hand,
And loi l worship at his feet

THIS sentence in the Cleburne
Chronicle speaks whole volume re.
garding the narrow mindedness OF
the .'old Alcalde:" Ex-Governor
Roberts said he would like to be
Governor again for ten minutes in
order to veto the school bill. The
Professor seems to be in favor Of
free education for those who are rich
enough to attend the university, but
opposed to free schools at the homes
OF the poor who are unable to go of
to high schools. While the Profes-
sor draws $4,000 year for teaching
law at the university he is not willing
to pay $500 year to the teacher who
performs the more unpleasant task OF
teaching the common school. Pro-
fessor Roberts is inconsistent"

The star route crowd formed q
powerful combination. Even after
Brady was removed and members OF
the gang had been indicted. Elmer,
the second assistant postmaster
general, kept right on making con-
tracts with the indicted men. And
Elmer was but recently removed
from his Office. When all the facts

WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFrom Our Regular Correspondent,l
WASHINGTON Feb. 18th, 1884.


The report from Mr.. Randall's COM
mittee on rules provided that the
rules of the House Of the Forty-sixth
Congress, as amended by the present
House, shall be the rules for the For
ty-eighth Congress until further or
dered. But about fourteen amend
ments were thereupon submitted,
nearly oil of which were opposed by
Mr.. Randall, and suffered defeat
Mr.. Anderson's amendment forbid
ding the floor to ex-members who
used their privilege of admission for
lobbying purposes was lost, but MIR.
Cox, with his usual tact and good
luck, carried the House with him on
his motion to continue the census
committee. Mr. Belford and "Ca-
lamity" Weller entertained the mem
bers by their observations, the for
mer in favor of his amendment pro-
viding for clerk for each member of
Congress not the chairman OF O COM
mittee, and the latter by vehement
speech, attacking the national bank
system. Mr.. Reed also "talked right
out in meeting" and gave the House
and the country some needed facts
on the inability of Congress to cope
with the business Of Legislation un-
der it's present rules of procedure.
He claimed that Congress does not
reach eight per cent. Of it's business.
In the last Congress, of total of
ten thousand bills and resolutions in
troduced, only three hundred were
passed. But the physical impossi
bility," as claimed, for Congress to
deal with more than small fraction
of it's business might be materially
lessened by giving greater measure
of time to legislation. AS it is now,
Congress is in session less than one
half of the time, and when in session
gives itself many holidays. Except
at the end of the session, Saturday
is always holiday, and Friday gene
rally 80, and fourteen out Of twenty
four months are spent in vacations.
The bill providing for a new Con-
gressional library has been made the
special order in the Senate for next
Tuesday, and there is reason now to
hope that the effort to provide the
Congressional library with suitable
accommodations viii not much long
er be frustrated The library is grow
ing steadily year by year. Twelve
months ago it numbered 4S0.076 vol
umes and 100000 pamphlets. Itnow
