wonders. 1t Is historically the fac,
that when the last Democratic presi-
dent retired il was felony TO teach a
colored person, in many of the slave
states To read, and there was lady OF
Marylan in prison for having done
so. Now there are even many south
ern men who believe in educating the
negro race. Twenty-four wears of Re-
publican rule has thus civilized the
country.

TIE Texas Monitor is authority for
saying that 100000 acres of land In
Texas are owned by alien Englishmen
and Scotchmen. 1t is high time the leg
islature of this state should take steps
to prevent foreigners from holding lands
in the state to the exclusion of actual
settlers. These lands are owned by men
who probably never put foot on Texas
soil, who are using many acres of school
lands for the purpose Of grazing their
cattle and want to pay no rent for them.
Let the Legislature pass law requiring
all foreigners to pay so cents an acre for
school lands and they will not fail to do
it, and the people Of the state will COM
mend the lawmakers for doing so.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The governors message IL presented
20 the readers of the HERALD this morn
ing. II IL written In the usual straight
forward style of GOV. IRELAND, and
abounds Ia sensible and practical sug-
gestions. Amer congratulating the
country on It's peaceful condition and
freedom from local disturbance, and
giving his reasons for hard times, the
Eovernor goes straight TO the review OF
the condition of the state, its needs and
the best modes of procedure AS IN rem
edies for wrongs, and preventives for
the future.
His suggestion rs 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 he
says bring no revenue 10 the state, and
might be utilized, are deserving of con
sideration. He proposes to replace the
money in the treasury by state bonds
payable at pleasure.
His recommendation as TO the mode
Of supplying hospitals is rather too mer-
camille in its style.
To publish propositions for needed
supplies for public institutions in only
two papers, at Austin aud Galveston, is
certainly most unwise plan,
but sending out circulars to mer-
chants hardly improves the matter. Let
necessary publicity be given to the
wants of the institutions by publica-
ton in papers in all the different sec
lions of the state from which bids might
90 expected, and competitive bidding
will insure low prices. AS to the lease
OF lands-railways and penitentiaries,
public schools and the university, the
governor shows his usual conservatism
and maintains views he had already an
nounced.
The legislature will doubtless take
into careful consideration his various
suggestions and proposed amendments.
II they do they have enough work
carved out for them to occupy the time
they are expected to consume at Austin,
without much chance for free rides and
excursions.
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. I've people of Texas
want 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, no
as to challenge that of JOHN IRELAND.

MOVING CYCLES.

There Is pever-failing theme for pc
riodical suffers, in the demonstration
rs they suppose, of the theory that there
: ia no substantial progress but that civil
ization loses in some respects what il
gains in others. One of the most strik-
ing essays ever penned by mortal man
was read by JOHN MITCHELL, the Irish
patriot, to the societies Of the Univer.
sity of Virginia, as far back as 1853
Nothing has been added to the argu.
ment since that effort.
Whilst this is perhaps fine-spun the.
Dsory, yet there is PROFESSIONALLY moi
ETY. of truth therein. The world moves
and ideas advance, but it seems that no
solid footi0g can be obtained without
one or more retrograde movements.
For instance Republican principles
seem to be prevailing extensively in
Europe. Just as there seems to be pros
pect of their adoption and spread, wild,
reckless counsels prevail and dynamit-
ism turns back the car Of its progress.
So in our country, the opposition to
monopoly was being rapidly consoli-
dated when outrages,i lin the way of labor
Z strikes, occurred and bafIled the wisdom
/, OF conservatism The socialistic
idea is engrafted on sound doc
triDe, and there is great ok
given grand idea. The granger ele-
ment rather overdid its work in por-
tions of the land, and the grand sum-
I ming up is that monopolies have not
been overthrown, whilst the tampering
with capital has resulted in popular dis
tress. The HERALD has sometimes
thought, with all its anti-monopolistic
notions, that there was too much inter-
ference with railroads. In fact, it
seems impossible to attempt to enforce
. rational policy without running to
excess. Even the REAGAN bill, whose
end and purpose is so patriotic and
commendable, contains features to
(which it is impossible for
many to subscribe. To one, especially,
the HERALD alludes, but which will
not become ~ statute. it's the provision
which would deny TO railroad compan-
les the right to charge just what they
please on their own road b, provided they
do not charge unreasonably. This
could have acted most disadvantage
onsly to Dallas, and appears to be de-
NAL OF the right of a company to do
what it pleases with its own prop
erty, even when III charges no IN
reasonable rates, A maximum limit
should be fixed and after that, it does
appear to the average mind that the rail-
roads have the right to manage for them
selves.
An SO it goes in every department. In
some states even the great idea of pub
Lie education is being overwsrked. Too
much is included in the curriculum and
too great artificiality employed in the
system. Yet these baek-sets arc n5t
permanent; they are not the current of
tho great~stream Of progression and
),s.lythe eddies near the banks. In spite
OF obstacles truth will ultimately tri-
umph, although apparently retarded.

THE governor in his message shows
that he has been compelled to lock up
the Alamo to prevent its destruction.
and suggests that some one will have to
be placed in charge. The senators who
opposed the purchase of this property,
contended at the time that there would
be AN annual expense entaIled on the
state. Those engineering this extrav-
agance replied by proposition from the
city of San Antonio to take care of the
property. Has the Alamo city. failed to
keep faith with the state in this matter?

They are now striving fora new county,
of which that town will be the county
seat. 1t is right and proper that they
organize a county, for 1t will do much to
add to the population of that already
popular town, and will encourage i'm
migration to the staked plains, which
were, for long time, regarded as a

as one of the best agricultural and
