in misunderstanding. Against these men
alone should all efforts be directed that
are intended TO preserve peace, and not
against the misguided creatures who fol-
low them.
As might be expected of man bred to
a military life, Gen. McClellan's remedy
is strong military force to quell any
threatened uprising Of malcontents. OBJ
viously this is no remedy at all. A free
country needs no army to keep It's own
subjects in order, and 1t ceases TO be free
when the preservation of peace Is in
trusted to the army As long as the cause
OF fermentation remains in the body
polite, we may look for disturbances.
The cause needs first TO be removed, and
then the commotion will settle itself.
Education is the remedy, not repression.
IN intelligent people eau govern itself
without armies and without anarchy, and
the presence of either is symptom Of an
abnormal condition. More free schools,
not more bayonets, are our need.

A Law TO FRO TECT CONGRESS-
MEN

Senator Hampton believes that seli-de-
Tense is natures first law. He wants to
eako II misdemcanor for any member
Of congress TO solicit the appointment Of
any person TO Office under the administra-
ton. There is no doubt of the purpose
Mr., Hampton has In view. He wants TO
relieve harassed members who are be.
sieged by armies of importunate place
hunters, who make life burden TO them.
With law making it a misdemeanor TO
use their influence by soliciting the presi-
dent or heads of departments for Office
they are protected against the pressure Of
the lmpoftunatc hordcs. When the ward
striker or hummer, whom the poor mem
Der fears to offend by refusing outright
to help him to an office, makes his
application, it is only necessary
to quote the law which i'm.
poses a heavy fine upon the senator or
congressman who sollcits an office for
him. 1t Is not proposed, though, to take
away the right OF recommending an appli.
cant ior office when the president or
other appointing power requests such
recommendation. But the recommenda-
ton or solicitation shall not be voluntary.
The preamble OF the bill admits the
cause of It's presentation in these
words "Thc recommending or sole
itng Of appointments to office
by senators or representatives
intcrleres seriously with the
performance Of their legislative du.
ties" The admission is shameful one
If the time OF the senators aud repre-
scntatiycs is so taken up in listening to
appeals for aid from people who want to
get into Office that they cannot give due
attention to their legitimate duties, it is
full time for reform at this point. Men
are not sent TO congress and paid $4,000 a
year to act as oflice-brokers.

Correspondence OF the Gazette,
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, Dec. 1S.-Mr.
Thomas Wilson, the cX-County treasurer,
who assaulted Mr., Israel yesterday, had
S2Sls in the Exchange bank at this place,
and it seems that he has made threats
that the old banker cannot live without
paying him his money. The assault was
not serious one and | think no com

man and cripple, having been nearly

ago.
The Judge during the last session of the
district court, on recommendation of the
grand jury, appointed committee TO eX-
anime the county officers books and re-
port fully the financial standing of the
county TO the county commissioners. The
committee is now hard at work on the
books. The county treasurer is short
about $1,000 in consequence of the failure
of the EXchangr bank, and as the com
missioncrs desired the money made up at
once he resigned and another has his
office. The boudsmen do not pro.

Nothing is surer than that the -arge
pastures in West Texas under one owner
ship must be thing of the past. The
policy of selling only one section to a
single individual should be adhered to. A
policy by which stoCkmen can have the
use OF more for grazing purposes can be
adopted, the title remaining in the state.
The disposal of land in large quantities,
il persisted in, creates an aristocracy
with lords and vassals, that has ever been
repugnant to republican institutions. The
United States antagonizes such a policy,
and Texas may well follow her example.
