NEW ORLEANS oOngratulates herself on
having passed the most orderly, quiet
and Christian Christmas that her people
have enjoyed for many years. 1t is i'm
pOrtant only as Indicating a more gen.
eral regard for outward forms of pro-
priety than we're observable only a few
years ago. What is true of New Or
leans is true of other large cities, and
the fearful orgies that were once so
common at Christmas and other holiday
seas rs seem 10 become less and less
frequent each season. There is no rea-
sonable doubt that the general demands
OF outer decenCy are rising higher and
higher year by year, and that good So
ciejy, 50 called, does not tolerate viola
-ince wOnld have called forth no special
cord mnatiOn. Outside of what are
commonly called 'Uur criminal classes,
society in our cities is OutwaTdly more
Respectable, more ODeeTNdllt vi inc pIO-
prIetIrs than formerly, and this gain can
be directly Il. ced to The inf fences Of
culture and home civilizations. While
thLs lie true and TO be rejOiced over, il
seems that the excuses of old time city
life have been transferred TO the village
and The country nam,et. The most muir
derous brawls, the most revolving crimes,
the most inhuman Outrages are reported
rs occurring away from the crowded
streets of populous towns, and in the
comparative seclusiOn OF country pre-
clncts. Read the criminal annals OF any
state carefully, and it will be found that
in proportion TO the population infamous
crimes are largely in excess in rural dis
tricts and in small villages. The day
seems passed in which ii can be truth
fully said, God made the country, but
man made the town." in SO far at least
as the purity of the lives of the jewellers
in each is concerned. The reason Of
this change may afford the moral philoso-
pliers an opportunity to exercise their
brains.

The attack that has been made upon
the sugar industries of the south by
Senator Sherman and other pronounced
protectiOnists, does not seem either wise
or just. There is no pretense made OF
any exceptional condition governing
this particular staple which should ex-
clude it from the benefits of the prOtec-
ton extended 70 other industries. The
whole discussion on this question Of
sugar tariff seems lifted out of the do
main Of industrial economy and benef-
cient legislation for American manufac-
lures, and relegated to the division OF
sectional politics. That the rank and
file of the prOtectionists have very little
sympathy with this declaration Of war
against the sugar interests of Louisiana
10 very apparent from the expressions Of
the protectiOnist journals Of all classes.
Mr.. Sherman will find himself with no
general following in taking this depart
ure, and it Is TO the credit of the repub-
lican hosts that he does not. The in
ference Is only the more plain and I'M
mistakable that the ideas of protection
which obtain In the republican ranks
and fix its policy on tariff issues are not
the creation Of prejudice, but the out
growth of deep conviction that the
true American policy Is a policy Of
wise protection for all home manufac-
lures and products, without invidiOus
discrimination. The warmest political
admirers of Mr.. Sherman cannot but
feel that he has materially weakened
his standing as a national statesman in
ADVOCATING the dra wing of political lines
in tariff adjustments. The man who as
Dires to become the chief magistrate Of
the whole nation should be sufficiently
inclusive in his views OF the wants and
claims OF the whole nation as to accord
TO each its just consideration az the
hands Of the national legislature.

MAVERICK COUNTY

EAGLE Pass, TEX, Feb. 25.-Edl,or
GAZETTE; In answer to your letter re.
questine my opinion as to the changes
desirable in the present school and road
laws OF this state, consider the follow
ing to be improvements on said laws, to
wit: ~
Section 29, school laws of 1884, should
be amended so as to allow the county
commissioners court of each county to
change the lines OF any school district in
their county whenever deemed by them
necessary to do so, the growth of the
county being their guide; no change to
be made within less than two years; 10
be made at the first regular terms held in
the year aud only in presence of full
board thereby doing away with ali
school elections, which may do very well
In thickly settled counties, but for obvious
reasons do no good In western county
The trustees of any district ought to be
empowered by and with the consent of
the county Judge to employ the funds an.
propriated to their district for the build
ing OF school-houses without having to
wait Tor private cont buttons for that
purpose.
Inc commissioners court of each
county should be authorized to adopt a
uniform set OF school books for use in ali
the schools in their county. Attendance
OF school between eight and sixteen wears
should be made compulsory.
ROAD LAW.
