LEGISLATIVE CORRESPOND.
ENCE,

| HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
TOPEKA, MARCH Is, 'S4. :
Editors Register:
DEAR SIRs,-I think you were about
right in your last issue in claiming
that the extra session of the Legisla.
ture should not have lasted more than
three days. 1 hoped when left home
to get back the same week, but when
more than one hundred men get to-
gether to discuss any important ques.
ton it is very difficult to hurry them.
There are certainly very few, If any,
members in this House that would
willingly parley their time here; 1t is,
or ought to be, busy time for all OF
those engaged i'm farming, and there
are many such here, and 1 have no
doubt by the time this reaches you we
will have made our final adjournment.
I hope our work may prove satisfacto-
ry to the people. The conviction has
become very general that there has
been a mistake i'm regard to the exist
ance of foot and mouth disease in the
State and it is confidently believed
there is not now nor has there been a
single case of the kind in the State.
Should this prove true there may be
those who would attach blame to the
Governor for calling this session. This
would not be fair. At the time the
Governor issued his proclamation the
opinion was almost unanimous that
there was very urgent need of such
action. We will to-day complete such
measures 1 think as will in the future
prevent any occasion for such expens-
i've luxuries as extra sessions of the
legislature to look after cattle diseases.
Political aspirants have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity to repair
their fences. Col. Martin was here last
week and if the men composing this
House represent their constituents on
the subject as to who shall be our next
governor Col. Martin is certainly in
the lead at present. Judge Thacher
has many warm friends and it is quite
possible that when the race comes on
he may be found~fully up to if not
ahead of his worthy competitor, Col.
Martin. Just now and at this place,
there does not seem to be any other
candidates for governor. Either of
these men could easily be elected
against any man the Democrats might
nominate. Both are good, honest, ca
pable men, well known throughout
the State.
No man has, so far, shown DISPOSE
ton to "buck" against McCabe for
Auditor. The colored gentleman has
made very efficient and pleasant Off
Ger and his race has just cause to feel
proud of him as a public man.
There are half a dozen candidates for
Seer etary of State, and good many
for Lieut.. Governor, Attorney Gener-
al and Superintendent of Public In
there is not likely to be any
lack for candidates, and 1 am glad to
say that the timber to select from is
good. Very respectfully,
S. J. STEWART.

has never paid expenses fairly,
the Gazette has lost enough
to establish ten modest pa
perS. The Examiner has been thrice
dead, the Statesman never lived as a
paying journal, the Dallas Herald and
the San Antonio Express claim that
they are the only papers outside OF the
News that are paying investments; If
so, 1t must be because they have, in
spite of their expensive form, practiced
severe internal economy and have been
aided by their local circumstances. II
Is not necessary to publish either a
"blanket-sheet" nor u big quarto to
make a successful paper in Texas. ON
the contrary, we hold that the country
is not ready for such metropolitan af-
fairs.
IL indeed man or q company can af-
ford to invest q million of dollars, moro
or less, in Globe Democrat sort of pa
per, and wait on posterity for pay, it is
all well, but scarcely otherwise, unless
he can buy up all opposition and have
the 100000 square miles of Texas as a
home pasture Before we will see fine
and uniform schools and n popular uni
versitY, we must have good deal of
honest, homespun work 1--WE are afraid of
normal dliettatism), and before we can
expect to SEQ paying and successful
newspapers, we must handle more iolios
like the New York Sun and the Atlanta
Constitution, and fewer monstrosities
like the daily wildernesseS of incoher-
ent literature and intelligence published
in Yankee land Houston journal.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-09-05

The declarations OF the journal re-
peatedly made of the unnatural and
dangerous manner in which the morn
ing daily newspaper business has been
carried on for the past few years, are in
course of current veritication. The
journal takes no credit TO itself, and
surely claims no satisfaction for having
the ability to predict what every clear
healed man could see, that false ox-
pansion would necessarily en-
tail reaction, and, II per-
sisted in, ruin. The principle
oVCrleaps the newspaper business aud
belongs to all departments of mercantile
affairs; 1t transcends commerce and
may be applied IN governmental affairs,
to social matters, to moral reforms and
to too ambitious and impatient estab-
lishment of educational Institutes.
Hence, II is but reason IN expect but mod
crate success In the efforts made Tor the
establishment OF manufactures, to revise
the constitution of the State, to bpget
literary and cultured tastes, to suppress
gambling and iutomperance and 10
build up an efficient and symmetri-
cal school system as well AS popular
and successful university. The prlnci-
pal we speak Of is that which ignores
the necessary rules of success: the EN-
ployment of proper and necessary means
To produce the end aud no more. Tn q

that Is made may be proper, yet, IL too
much force and efrusiveness be employ
cd, Il wastes Itself, in vacuo. as il were,
and the too-hard hitter falls prone and
helpless ON his face.
The Journal claimed that this sin
against natural arithmetic aud logic WINS
being made by certain number OF tho
Texas dailies, aud II IN borne out in its
conclusions. The Dallas HERALD has
taken up the argument and has helped
10 prove the proposition, but the Journal
claims that the HERALD Is itself vic
tim of the false fashion, for fashion IL IL
Just as vain and friyolus as the feminine
wearing of bangs aud frizzos. The
HERALD would make more money with
less typo. Indeed, II Is probable, and.
In fact, almost certain, that the condi-
tions of the Texas field and the cOmpar-
alive poverty of the principals prove
that IL isa practical blunder for any
paper In the State 10 aspire TO and 10
publish itself with the airs of what l..

Sheriff Cleveland,

The New York Journal of Commerce,
which supports Blaine and Logan,
speaking of Grover Cloveland's act as
Sheriff Of Buffalo, says: "Gov. Clevo
land, IL not brilliant genius, is am n
not given to Sinking any of the duties
properly belonging to the station or posi-
ton in which he is placed. When
Sheriff, II became his duty to superiu-
tend the execution of two culprits, We
suppose that in performing this
somewhat disagreeable task, he
did, ms sheriils usually do in
this country, attend in person and give
the signal for tho drop. The adjusting
OF the rope about the neck, and tying the
hands and feet OF the culprit is usually
done by Deputy Sheriff or other subor-
dinate official; but Mr.. Cleveland may
have performed this part of the work
himself. We have no doubt he would
II the occasion had required II, and have
done IL well, too, The law of this State
requires "tNe sheriff or under-sherif of
the county to be present at the eXecu-
ton" and oven IL they have to 40 into
an adioiniugcounty they are TO conduct
the proceedings, and execute tho SEN
tence IN all respects ~ ifthe Jail was To-
Gated in the county where such COnvic-
ton was had" We have no doubt
that sheriff Clevelaud's faithfuluess to
the duties thus legally imposed upon
him was q stepping stone to the higher
Office he now so ably fills, and II may
prove to be a step in the path to still
higher honors. IL any rogues are now
living in dread Of the halter, that terror
will not be lessened il the man who had
some experience in executions many
years ago is called to be the chief Exec
utive of the nation.

to the burden of work in the depart,
ment, he said that while he
was about useless, still he
would pack his trunk and
return to duty if he Coon felt that too
much was laid upon him. In answer he
remarked that he was in 'miserable
plSht," While the third letter was
closed abruptly with the remark that he
ld set out TO write at full length, but
ret too weak and listless. Two
others received since were dictated

clear directions concerning important
department matters, also conveyed the
Intelligence inserted by the writer that
the Secretary was a very sick man and
capable ofonly the smallest physical az d
mental eNeruon. In one letter acting
Secretary Coon was advised to
send a cable message to As
slstant Secretary French, asking
him to return at once. Judge French
was then on his way to Liverpool.
IN regard to the question of filling the
vacancy by, temporary appointment,
Mr. Coon submitted the question to the
