LOUISE MICHEL

When Louise Michel was pelted with
stones and snowballs at Versailles, in
France, last Monday, for addressing Il
crowd in favor of socialism and attendant
issues, if one of the philosophers who
witnessed the French revolution and un-
derstood its causes could have been pres
ent he would not have recognized the sans
culottes of that day as the Parisians of
to-day who attend such meetings. Louise
Michel is a French woman well known
throughout the civilized world as an
anarchist. She is reported as being at
''war with order, law and peace" She
says herself: II like the poor; l like rev
olution." And by her manner of reason
ing, perhaps she thinks the last is a nat
ural sequence of the first. There is a
class of persons who believe that in es-
pousing the cause of the poor that law
and order must give place to rev
Olution and anarchy. In their minds.

GOVERNOR IRELAND AND RAILROAD
SUBSIDIES.

The Laredo Times says ii Is not be-
lieved that Governor Ireland ever adYo-
Gated the granting Of a subsidy to any
rair adj. In this the Times is sadly mis-
taken. The journals of the senate sec
onI sessioA o. the Fourteenth legislature
will show that Governor Ireland, then
senator from the Geguln district, on the
9ta day OF March, 1875, introduced in the
senate bill granting to the International
d. Great Northern Railroad company
twenty sections of land TO the mile
amounting, in the aggregate, to four
million acres and exempting this land
together with the road bed. rolling stock
and other property of the com
pany from all taxation, state
county, and municipal, for twenty
five years. and permitting said company
TO hold one half Of the lands for fifteen
years, and the remainder for twenty
wears. II is also well known that Gov
error Ireland was the special champion
of this bill, and it was passed and became
a law, and this at n time when the Inter
national railroad company proposed to
take three million dollars in full settle
ment of their claim against the state
The bill also permitted the location OF
said lands in solid bodies, when all Other
railroads were required to locate theil
lands in alternate sections, and these
lands to-day, exempt from taxation, are
worth not less than twelve million dol
Jars. These are facts from the record
and cannot be gainsaid

AMERICAN SOCIALISM.

The great strike on the Gould south
western system, taken in connection with
other labor troubles simultaneously occur
ring all over the country and in Canada,
for that matter-has left profound i'm
preston on the public mind 1t has also
engaged the serious attention of the
thinking people of the country, who are
inquiring INTO the causes, remote and i'm
mediate of Il state Of things that has
already vastly damaged the business in
terests and general prosperity of the
country, and, we may add, the working
classes themselves.
The history of all the big strikes for the
last year, closely studied show that the
question of wages of meat and bread
was 1t, and could not have been, an in
a'nble, bona tide grievance. The recent
strike of the New York car drivers was
upon salaries that would be deemed com
fur9ble anywhere in Texas. The strike
of lie same class at Cincinnati, yesterday,
wos upon sligo per day, $500 per day
being demanded, the former, con
sid ing the circumstances, being
equivalent to $500 day, or more in this
state In the great strike on the Houston

lished day or two ago, the present revolt
was not based on wages or pecuniary con
siderations. The question then, for the
philosophers of to-day to solve, is why
this great unrest of the laboring classes
Why all this organizing, this banding to-
gether of the toiling masses of this coun-
try even the conservative farming clas-
SOS themselves? Why this solid array
ing of the working classes, as if in
the presence of common enemy!
u is believed by many that the Interior
purposes of the leaders of this great
movement, unknown to the masses, lie
deeper than the wage issue, and are, in
fact, grounded in the socialistic philoso'
ply of Herr Most and his confreres, which
seems to be spreading in this country as
well as in Europe. The foundation OF
modern socialism is the re-division OF
wealth, and the total destruction of the
present social system. 1t is difficult to
believe the masses of this country can be
led into the wild and utopian ideas OF
such crazy howlers as Herr Most. If the
leaders of the extraordinary movements
now interfering with the business and
in their heads, they may rest assured the
issue will be met. if il ever arises.

THE experiment which is being tried by
Massachusetts of boarding out those in
mates of the lunatc asylums who are
mild and inoffensive, would seem to be a
bad one. The state, as a wholesale buyer,
can purchase provisions much cheaper
than individuals, and, besides, no one
would take them without some profit over
and above the actual cost of keeping
them, and thus, as matter of economy,
it would seem to be bad experiment.
Another question as to its being humane
would arise. When they are in the asy-
lums those whose duty it is to attend to
such things would see to it That they were
not maltreated, or neglected, but if they
were sent around to private houses no one
would know whether they were maltreated
and neglected or not. 1t would seem to
be more economical, safer, and more hu.
name to keep them directly under the
charge of state officials.

THERE IS great deal of complaint
from different sections of the country that
the very small rate of postage re
quired for merchandise, etc, is running or
cutting into the business of small coun-
try merchants. 1t can be easily seen why
this would happen, and if it is shown to
result greatly to their disadvantage, some
steps should be taken to rectify it. For,
although the cities might encourage such
an increase in the money coming into it
directly from the country, the people re-
siding in the country can not but see how
badly it will result in the end. These
country stores are the means of keeping
money circulating outside of the cities
for longer time, and the increased cir
culation undoubtedly causes better times.
The money, as n rule, and es pecially in
hard times, finds its way back to the city
soon enough; but where trade is estab-
lished by which money returns to the city
Immediately, no one can gainsay the fact
that it will iniure the rural districts. Aside
from this, stores for certain articles
would be a necessity, anyway, and if they
are deprived of the trade that goes direct
ly to the city, it makes them necessarily
have to charge higher prices for the things
they keep. This small postage would
thus seem to cause a great loss in one di-
rection, without any consequent saving in
the other. At least it is a matter for in

ANECDOTES.

5, who was one of the first set
tiers i'll Austin, was something of wag,
and occasionally INDUCED in little harm
less practical joke On one occasion,
when travelling with him between Austin
and Waco, we were overtaken by a
stranger, mounted upon very fine horse.
My friend S was riding small mule,
while was astride of Spanish tacky,
one of the sort that travelled at the rate
of about mile an honr, on account of
frequent stoppages to enable him to in
dulge in his fayorite pastime of buck
ing But the stranger on the fine horse
slackened his gait as he rode up, for the
sake, as he said, of our company, and we
jOurneyed on together. He told us that
he had been all the way to the Rio Grande
that he had bought large "cavvy yard
there, which he had just sold out for a
handsome profit at Waco. He then ia
vored us with a sensational narrative of
his personal adventures on the Rio Grande
how he had won the good graces of all
the "senoritas' at the "fandangoes;" how
he had been compelled to shoot down in
cold blood two or three "greasers," who
were jealous of the favors bestowed upon
him; how he had whipped singlehanded a
band of Comanches, that attempted tC
stampede his "cavvyyard,' and many
other adventures as truthful as they were
wonderful. The fellow was evidently q

to his yarns, and l proposed that

candidates for Office in column and a
half editorial, and speaking of Judge Ter
rell, says;
In his long career as state senator, he
stood Watchdog over the peoples
rights, and as menacing foe to the in
crease and encroachment of corporate
wealth. And for these things and his
great ability, the people will demand that
he represent them in the senate halls of
our national congress, where his genius
can have full scope and the whole country

ated to a Just appreciation of the laws of
God and man. would have occupied quite
different place in history from the Louise
Michel of to-day. Some of her ideas on
her self-impo mission are sublime;
they would do credit to the greatest phi
lanthropist of the age, but linked indis-
solubly with ideas which are opposed to
all laws and order, they seem to be only a
deceptive coloring-like some beautiful
flower, which is deadly poison.
If Louise Michel had been living in
France in the latter part of the eighteenth
and early part of the nineteenth century,
she would probably have been
most useful co-ad utor of Marat and his
confreres. And with the spirit she
evinces to-day, would undoubtedly have
been the head of the revolutionists Of
that day. 1t shows how time changes "A
nation. and how even the moral nature of
the citizens Of nation follow the natural
changes
And, while in this country,opposition to
law and order seems to be on the increase,
in the country whose history is series of
revolutions, obedience to the laws is
growing. Mile Michel has had her day in
France, and she will have to seek more
congenial climes, and the honest laboring
men here should offer no inducements to
her to join them. They want no anarchy
they are law-abiding citizens, and as the
eyes of anarchists, driven from their native
country, turn to this land of freedom
they should be greeted with, mo anarchist
needed" Herr Most, Mile Michel, and
characters of that type, can do more good
by seeking some unknown bourne to do
their self-imposed work.

The system of boycott is one which is
not confined to the laboring classes as a
weapon. 1t seems as though some of the
retail dealers in the cities are about to
boycott the wholesale dealers. Now, the
question arises, who will the latter boy
colt! And it is unanswerable, unless they
make both ends meet by boycotting the
laboring classes, and thus form COM
plete circle, starting with the laborer and
ending with him.
