The New York World speaking of

The New York World speaking of
the president and the senate saws.
at should be remembered that the
office of president is essentially execu-
tive in its nature" In this sentence
in his letter acceDting the democratic
nomination for the presidency, d.
ted Aug. 18th, 1884, Mr.. Cleveland
was understood to signify his views of
the distinct duties of the legislative
and executive branches of the gov
eminent. His words were interpreted
to mean high respect for the former
and a recognition of the obligation of
the latter to respect the will of the rep
resentarives OF the peop'e in the law
making power. The enemies of Mr..
Cleveland. indeed, charged him with
ignorance of the fact that under our
system of government and by the pro-
visions of the constitution of the legis-
lative and. executive branches have
common link of connection or de-
pendence one upon the other.
Mr. Cleveland's course as president
shows that his remark in his letter OF
acceptance was misunderstood, or
that he has greatly changed bis views
as to the degree of respect to be paid
to the will of the legislative branch of
the government. The surplus resolu.
ton was an explicit declaration of the
wishes of the people as represented in
both houses of congress. having passed
the House in its original form by
vote or nearly three to one, and been
agreed to in the senate in Its amended
form without a division. The origin
al resolution was opposed by twelve
democratic members only out of 1873
in the present House.
Certainly no measure could more
emphatically represent the will of con-
gress, and especially of the democratic
members, than this. Who fought
against the resolution? Mainly Mr..
Conrad n. Jordan, the United States
treasurer, a subordinate in the treas
ury department, a former National
Bank cashier, who is the connecting
linz between Wall street and the treas
ury department. Yet Mr.. Cleveland
killed the resolution and defeated the
will of congress and especially of the
democratic majority by means Of a
pocket veto.

WHY DON'T THE DROUGHT SUF.
FERERS HELP THEMSELVES.


FERERS HELP THEMSELVES!
To the Statesman:
The writer dislikes to question the pro-
priety of the modern method of supply
ing the wants of destitute persons or
communities, but the action taken by rep
resentative citizens of Coleman, Brown,
San Saba and Runnels, needs sone expla-
nation.
There is a law on our statute books
which authorizes commissioners courts
to provide for the wants of all destitute
persons in their respective counties.
The taxable values of Brown foot up
$4,525,575. The rate of county taxes for
all purposes is 40 cents on the 800 valua-
ton.
The taxable values of Coleman foot up
$3.50, 1859; rate of taxation is 40 cents on
the 500.
San Saba's valuation is $2,07S,065, and
her rate of taxation 81 cents.
Runnels valuation is $2,084, 572, and the
rate of taxation is AZ cents on the 500
valuation.
The rate of taxation in these counties
is below the average in the state, and is
below even the rate in this county.
The question arises why cannot the
commissioners courts of those counties
do something's Why don't they issue
scrip and at their first regular term, mex
year, levy tax sufficient to meet it? The
wants of the sufferers, it seems, are sim
pie and few, and it is very questionable
to say the least of it, whether the counties
named should call on their neighbour
for assistance before they have tried tc
assist themselves when they have tn,
means in their power. L.

his superiors in the Roman Catholic
church.
He is IN the prime of life. He was born
in Baltimore July 23 1884. His parents
were immigrants to this country from
ireland, but he received his early educa-
ton IN a school near Dublin. He was
recognized as a bright lad, and made
rapid progress IN his studies. On his re-
turn to this country he was for a short
time a clerk in a store at New Orleans.
Yielding to his natural inclination for
the priesthood he entered St. Charles
College. Howard county, Md, when bout
Il years of age. He graduated in 1857.
and at once entered 81. Sulpice's Semi

Progress of the Hennepin schem,

Progress of the Hennepin Scheme.
The Hennepin canal schemers have Sc
cured favorable report on the Henderson
bill from the Committee on Railways and
Canals. This bill provides for the accept
ance by the government of the Illinois
and Michigan canal, and the construction
by the government OF a canal from Hen
nepin to the Mississippi at the mouth of
Rock river, together with a feeder. The
main canal would be 741z miles in length
and the feeder 81 miles. The work is to
DO done under direction OF the Secretary
OF War. To begin it an appropriation OF
81 900. 900 is made. None OF the routes
surveyed by the government engineers
under the act of the Forty-seventh Con-
gress are specified, the choice being left
to the Secretary of War when the bill is
actually passed.
II is said that the committee which has
she bill in charge proposes to push it
through the House at once. Those who
have this canal scheme in charge
know that success depends upon
work, and they are working. They claim
that the canal is a national work because
several States will be benefited by 1t.
When the scheme was nrst presented to
Congress the cost Of 1t was estimated to
be about 5000, 900. The estimates now
reach nearly $9,O0O,OOO, and there is no
doubt that IL it is undertaken $50, OOo. 900
will not be sufficient 10 complete it. 1t
seems remarkable that schemes like this
receive such hearty Endorsement from
Congress while hsrbors, the improvement
OF which would benefit great sections Of
country and an immense commerce, get,
with extreme difficulty, appropriations
for their improvement which are wholly
inadequate for their needs.

Representative Dunn, ofArkansas, pro-
poses to prevent inventors or owners of
patents from acquiring the power to es-
tablish mOnopOlies. AS the law is at
present the owner of q patent has a mo-
nopoly Of it for seventeen years. AL
though only about one patent in a thou
sand proves TO be a bonanza to the owner
of it, there Is, every once in awhile pa
tent granted on an invention that Yields
enormous returns, and the monopoly of
which is made more grinding than the
putlic ought to be required 20 endure.
The bill which Mr.. Dunn has introduced
amends the existing law so as to give the
inventor a royalty OF ten per cent. of the
gross sales OF the right TO make, use, and
yend his invention for seventeen years.
The bill also provides that any person
shall have the right TO make, use, and sell
the patented article on the payment of the
ten per cent. royalty.
If this bill should become a law It
would be impossible TO establish a monop-
oily like the telephone monopoly. or that
which the sewing machines enjoyed not
long ago.
VI course, the owner OF patent -

OF his property. In doing that he only
does what about eyeryo ody does in every

TO say, however, whether 1t will permit
the people to be taxed beyond what is
reasonable for the use Of patented articles
which, in many instances, may be abso-
lutely necessary 10 them.
There will be doubtless a great deal Of
opposition 70 the Dunn bill, but as IL can
not be made retroactive, the opposition in
