en- at five-sixths, and we have $500 OF
them whisky victims. Now, take this
number away by removing the cause,
and you have only 500 criminals to be

and the competition of the miserable
500 will not be felt in the great state

The most serious question to-day
probably is as to what we shall do
with our state conyicts. They al
ready amount to On army of about
5000, which is steadily growing. In
this connection we invite attention
to the article which we copy in an
other place, from the Dallas Mercury.
It's suggestions are all good and
timely. But it must be obvious to
every thinking person that the main
steps to prevent still more trouble
some increase of the criminal classes
are to suppress the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating drinks, and the
wide spread establishment OF good
face public schools. The adoption OF
these two great safe guards would
soon reduce the criminal classes to n
manageable number, and relieve the
people of an immense public burden.

To prevent further decline in the
observance of the 4th of July SO
ciety ought to be formed in every
town and city of the South under the
title of Continentals, who sole duty
should be to devise means for a prop
er observance of the nations holiday.
When the celebration OF the fourth
of July ceases entirely, then may
those who love the republic feel that
it is in danger Of overthrow. He who
loves liberty should revere the mem
ory of the heroes who won 1t for him.
