state law above alluded to,

Guided his note as follows:
81 feel regretful that I have to be
away from tho funeral of my along
friend, Mr.. Burrows, for there has been
the warnest friendship between us for
over forty years"
It would seem that Mr.. Colfax had
premonition of death. On Saturday, in
the Tribune editorial rooms, he said:

When asked il he expected to pass

OF lands-railvlays and penitentiaries,

governor Slows his usual conservatism
and main tains views he had already an
nounced.
Tho legislature will doubtless take

If they do they have enough work
J carved out for them to occupy the time

without much chance for free rides and

There is one remark in which all must
concur who read the message. Gov.
IRELAND is honest and sincere in all he
says, and the spirit Of wise and pru-
dent economy breathes throughout the
entire document. The people of Texas
want a man in whom they can rely. In
: his excellency their ideal is realized
and however much some may differ
with him on questions of policy, nj
man is so reckless Of his own character
as to challenge that Of JOHN IRELAND.

THE GOVERNORS MEssAGe.

The governors message Is presented
TO the readers OF the HERALD this morn

forward style of Gov. IRELAND, and
,abounds in sensible and practical sug-
astions. After congratulating tho
intry on its peaceful condition and
dom from local disturbance, and
ng his reasons for hard times, the
A.ernor goes straight TO the review of
the condition of the state, its needs and
the best modes of procedure as to rem
edies for wrongs, and preventives for
the future.
His suggestion as to saving the wa
tered school lands with two hundred
yard strip attached for public use, seems
wise and feasible. So are those favor
ing short leases. His notions about the
capture of the special funds (several
hundred thousand dollars) which ht
says bring no revenue TO the state, and
might be utilized, are deserving Of con
sideration. He proposes to replace th,
money In the treasury by state bond,
payable at pleasure.
His recommendation as to the mod,
of supplying hospitals is rather too mer

To publish propositions for needed
supplies for public institutions in only

certainly most unwise plan
