StateamanAhip.

When the land bill WAS returned 10
the house with the senate amend
ments, lively discussion ensued over
the question of concurrence. AS a
sample Of the craftsmanship, practical
acquaintance with the needs of Texas
and knowledge Of the West which ar
rays itself at Austin In favor of
a lease law, we append few
of the arguments used by the lease
advocates IN urging concurrence in the
senate amendments:
Mr.. Founder replied In favor OF con.
currence In the senate amendment.
He thought the pasture men were go,
ing to take the West anyway, and It
did not make any difference whether
one man or dozen leased the whole
country.
Mr.. Crane argued that the large
leases were confined to unorgsnizr d
counties, while the settler hunted the
organized counties.
DIR Camp of Limestone said the
actual settler in the West was Joke.
He could not go there, or, at least, he
could not stay there. He wanted laws
enacted without regard to the actual
settler, rs there was no use of quarrel
ing about him.
Mr.. Woods of kaufman declared
that the cattlemen would have COM
plete control OF the West In ten years,
and he wanted to squet re the living
grease out Of them while they were &C.
| quiring 1t. He favored vigorous
lease law.
Mr.. Jones Of McLennan advocated
the grass commissioners. He seemed
10 like 1t chiefly because the free
grass men opposed it,
Now, here Is question vitality af-
fectlng the welfare of by far the largest
portion OF the state, and, to a lees, but
by no means uncomfortable, extent,
the welfare OF Texas. And these are
the sober, serious arguments of men
who were elected to make laws for the
people Ii statesmen talk 80, Ia II any
wonder that the press, having less in.
dividual responsibility for legislation,
should treat the subject as It does
Or, is this alleged statesmaEship the
fungus growth of a misleading press :
Some OF these arguments read more
like the dogmatic paragrapher who I'm.
sists that free grass means only free
range for a rich eattleman, than like a
statesman in search of the true land
policy for state that has enough pub.
lie land to provide homes for more
than a half-mlllion people.
Upon the land policy of the state de-
ponds In large measure the growth
and development of Texas. We have
heretofore escaped the evil effects OF
! financial depresslons and short crops

A Negro Church Burned-The Water
Works Question Settled.

SpeclRl
LANrPAsAs, TEX, March 26.-For
the past three days 1t has been cold
and misting rain, the slight frost Of
Tuesday morning did no damage.
Tuesday night near midnight the
negro church, situated in East Lam
pasas. nearly mile from the square,
was destroyed by fire, supposed to
have been the work of an incendisry.
Our city is on wheels. A skating
rink was opened last night, and will,
no doubt, continue during the season.
Considerable agitation has been had
the past few days over the location
of the water supply for the
water-works. Some of our citizens
protested against the action Of
the council, and at, a public meeting
a committee Of three prominent citl-
zens WAS appointed to confer with a
Ike committee of the council. The
meeting Of the committee yesterday
resulted in the approval of the city
councils action and the work of pro-
noting the water works goes on. Mr..
r o Brown. OF Fort Worth, the con-
tractor, is in the city arranging for the
laying of the mains, locating the en-.
glnes, etc
Petitions pro and con are being cir
culated in regard TO the placing OF
criminal proceedings under the juris.
diction OF the county court, which with
our present population. seems to be
necessary.
Many improvements are making fol-
the accommodation of the expected
summer visitors, who will be enter

three stories, and now has capacity
OF nearly seventy bedrooms.

because Of the money brought into
the country by land buyers and rail-
road builders. More than ever Texas
needs to sell land now. A land policy
that shall attract, not deter, immi-
grafton will not only sell state lands
and people the frontier, but 1t will IA
cilitate private sales. The settlement
of the country will produce more rev.
enue to the school fund than the leas-
ing Of the lands. There is no more
important subject of legislation than
the disposition of The public lsnds I;
and yet men are in the legislature
who discuss 1t in the manner ..
ported. Poor old Texas.

WHEN the Austin Sun OF the 10Th
instant said that the senate had to adj
journ owing to one of the senators be-
ing drunk, why in the world did it
not put the senator's name in small
caps, 80 the people could locate the
proper man? A drunken man is a
drunken man without distinction,
whether he be q senator when sober,
who has tanked up on fine whisky, or
a section hand who has taken few
jiggers on payday. 1t is very unjust
to the remaining members to tell hall
the story. Bleat 1t out, man, and let
us hear who he is!

Settle the Country,

1t is strange that while the state
government is settling some method of
detection into the affairs of the
NJ MAIDS of the prairies, they do not
conclude to pass laws that will settle
the country and organize civil
government therein. II the West was
settled and local government insti-
tuted, there would be no need of state
trent agents." state Diet. ctives and
state rangers. A little more attention
to the settlement and little less at
sention to ways and means for it's gov
eminent would result beneficially to
all concerned, including the school
Taxpayers.
Divide all the Western territory in
to counties thirty miles square, as the
Panhandle is divided; attach the I'M
organized to the nearest organized
county for judicial purposes; put all
the lands on the market at not more
than 81 an acre; sell to each actual set
tier four or five sections; do away with
the completely In securing title from
the state; repeal the lease law and in
vite home-seekers to come; then peo-
pie and civil government will take
the place of cattle ranches and rangers
and there will be no need of inquisi
tors, detectives and other odious Legal
machinery. Wrong inprlncipal and
n failure in practice, the lease in fanny
but leads TO other infamies.
