Untimsh O,itioirIn

The Texas legislature doea not seem to get
the hang Of forming laws that will oe OF any
bsnsnt TO the state. They have, in fact done
nothing 10 recommend them TO the good
opinion OF the public, The present body as FAR
as sensible discussion OF the general wants IL
concerned, seem 10 have but few ideas above
those which can be heard any day around
the stove OF corner grocery. One or two
men OF brains TO heaven the legislature would
be valuable addition to it.--lDenisou Her
ald-News.
The GAZETTE protests against such
misdireotion OF public sentiment. 1t
IS the province AZ well as the duty Of
the press to discuss pending measures,
and when the work OF the legislature
is complete TO review it for the public
OBLIGATION. THE GAZETTE does not
hesitate to express opinion on any pro.
posed law, and finds frequent occasion
to dissent from what ia done, but it IL
gross injustice to the legislature as we'll
as to the people to indulge such
sweeping criticism AZ that OF the DEN
ison Herald News; il is unjust TO the
Legislature because untrue, and unjust
to the people because 1t misleads them.
The present legislature, as a
body, will compare faYorably
with any Of its predecessors in
patriotism and industry, II not also in
ability. There are, no doubt, as in all
bodies Of men, some who may fitly be
termed Smart Alexis" and some who
mistake dogmatism for statesmanship;
but we repeat that, as body, the
Nineteenth legislature is honestly and
industriously endeavoring to Iegislate
for the good Of the people, and THE
GAZETTE predicts that the work done
will be as generally acceptable az that
Of any previous general assembly OF
the state. THE GAZETTE differs vital
ly with the great majority of the legis-
lature on vital public question, but
this paper accords to the mass of its
opponents the same honesty and earn
estness that it claims for itself.

Armirteadls Telegraph Bill.

AAHAAtNAA ApANE AoPu Dlllt
The bill introduced In tile legislature
by Representative ATmistead from
Marion county is likely to provoke a
lively fight between the friends of the
rival telegraph companies doing busl-
meas in the state. II is a direct blow
aimed at the determinations and
abuses In the telegraph bushes which
were complained Of and referred to in
the columns of The GAZETTE In an
editorial a few days ago. 1t is gener
ally understood that the Baltimore &
Ohio Telegraph company is urging
the measure, which, II is natural to
believe, will be as suietly but rs firmly
opposed by the Western Union com
pany. II is fair to presume, how
ever, that the bill will become a law
since the forces are so evenly divided.
1t is an equal thing
between the two rest
corporations and the peoples repre-
sentatives, being left to decide, will
very naturally take advantage of the
opportunity offered to benefit their
constituents and favor them with re-
duced rates. There is nothing violent
nor even aggressive in the bill; It sin-
ply and briefly provides that telegraph
companies cannot charge more for a
shorter distance over the same route,
all else being equal, than for longer
distance. This is the embodiment of
Congressman Resgan's railroad inter
state bill as applied to telegraph lines,
and the logic OF 1t is that it amounts
practically to a competing office at
every point in the state where there ia
telegraph office. If a telegraph COM
pany makes rate TO certain point
1t is presumed that IL does so on sound
business principles and not for the
purpose Of crushing out rival, and it
is only fair play that II rate so made
gives benekt to one l-ction, every
other section of the state should enjoy
the same facilities and no discrimina-
ton should be permitted against any
point whether favored with a com.
peting system OF not. This in no way
interferes with the amount to be
charged as tolls, but leaves that ques.
ton open TO honorable competition
by the various companies, Civ
ing the patrons OF the tele-
graph the benefit OF whatever
reduction in rates may be considered
safe. The other provision of the bill
compelling companies to exchanRe
business, is sound one. The practice
OF one company tagging on four or five
extra words on a telegram simply be.
cause It comes from another company,s
line and making the innocent Gus.
toner pay for it is certainly unjust and
should not be tolerated. The GAZETTE
is opposed to arbitrary or oppressive
legislation on any subject, but a little
regulation is sometimes necessary for
the protection of the public, and this
seems TO be one instance where relief
can be afforded the people without in
juring corporations or interfering with
corporate rights.

The Olorsn Foot.

Section ten OF the houae land bill
now under discussion provides that
any man with temerlty enough to en-.
ter inclosed leased land shall have the
right to lease not more than four other
sections lying adjacent to the land pur.
chased by him. This provision is,
essentially, IN the interest Of settle
ment, as it is an encouragement to men
not only to brave the delays OF agricul.
tural development in the Weet but
also to risk the difficulties naturally TO
be expected from going within 3 big
leased pasture TO settle. Aud yet this
is the provision that Mr.. Jones OF Me-
Lehman and other devoted lease.law
