IMPORTANCE OF INsTRUcTlNe,

The senatorial question is settled in
Missouri by the election of democratic
legislature instructed for Senator Cock
rell. Interested persons may deny that
instructions instruct, but, irrespective of
that opinion, the case will remain as it
stands. The Payne precedent will not be
followed Missouri is not Ohio, nor is the
Missouri Legislature for sale.
The foregoing paragraph, taken from
the st. Louis Republican, show that Texa
is not the only state where members of
the legislature have been instructed by
their constituents as to how they should
vote for United States senator.
In the present canvass for United
States senator. Judge Terrell has brought
this question of instruction directly be
fore the people. On this issue as well as
on all other issues, the people have the
right to know the views of those who seel
to represent them. They have the right
to instruct, and where there is any un
certainty as to the course of the repres
entative, they should do so. Undue in
fluences, which are often brought to beal
upon members to secure theirvotes, ar,
avoided in this way, and the wishes of th,
people are carried out.

A PLUCKY GIRL.

From The Philadelphia North American.
The town of Princeton, N. j., can boast
of the prettiest and most skillful horse
back riders of the gentler sex to be found
in the state. Every day many of them,
with male escorts, can be seen galloping
over the beautiful shady roadways APP
preaching the college town. Among the
many who indulge in this popular pas
time may be mentioned Colonel S. W.
Stockton's daughters, all of whom, like
their fathers and brothers, are excellent
riders. On the backs of their handsome
steeds the young ladies handle the reins
with all the ease, grace and accomplish
ment of professional equestrienne. Only
a day or two ago Miss. Mamie, about 10
years old, was out in company with others
five miles east of Princeton, when her
favorte horses bride broke. The ami
NAL started at lightning speed, and the
girls companions were filled with terror.
The plucky girl, however, with quick
presence of mind, leaned forward, and
twlning her hands in the animals name
and about his neck, chung on desperately.
In this hazardous position she remain
ed while the steed galloped homeTrd,
finally reaching the colonel's mansion safe
and sound As he dashed into the spa
cious grounds his breakneck speed slack
ened and coming around the circular
drive way to the stepping stone in front
of the house, he stopped calmly at the
usual place of dismounting. This thrill
ing incident of the young heroine mas
been the chief topic of conversation about
Princeton ever since.

GREER COUNTY LANDS.
JUDGE WALKER TAKES THE DAY
CASE UNDER ADJUSTMENT.

AaSE u ~ IEA <NAN E-n l.
In the district court, yesterday, the case
of the State VS.. the Day Land and Cattle
company, an important controversy as to
the validity of patents to large bodies of
land in Greer county was submitted upon
its merits on the evidence taken, which is
mainly documentary.
His honor, Judge Walker, declined to
hear argument as to any directing pow
ers of one department of the government
over another, as being contrary to the
spirit of our state polity, but after hear
ing the arguments otherwise bearing
upon the merits of the questions at issue,
took the case under advisement. The
main point of the defense is, i'll effect
that the state is committed by the action
of its representative otficers-the land
commissioners in issuing and the
governor in signing the patents
Tee state holds, per contra, that the act
of location is clearly unwarranted under
the laws of 1879, which specifically sets
apart the Greer county lands for school
purposes and the payment of the public
debt. There are two other cases Ringing
on the final determination of this one
and before the whole question is decided
the Texas legislature and the congress OF
the United States may both be called
upon to pass upon it.

PRECIOUS PACKAGES.
A BRIEF GLIMPSE AT BIG WEALTH
VALUABLE GOODS IN SMALL
PARCELS

Newspaper men have no cupidity in
their souls. They love dollar merely for
what dollar will produce, but the intelli-
gent newspaper man can count the ar
rows in an eagles talons, or even the
number of tail feathers that are his,
Just as well as can the most
astute and clear sighted bank
cashier in the land. The difference
between bank cashier and newspaper
man, it may be remarked, consists in this:
That while the world counts both as
shrewd and smart, the latter is known to
handle great deal of cash, and it is
problematical when the former can be
found with enough to buy the beer. Yet
seldom is it that either yields TO tempta-
ton. There is no sarcasm in this state
ment.
But all this goes for naugbt in the face
of what The STATEsMAs's confidential SER
want started out to say, which was this:
In passing the state house this afternoon
he espied the handsome treasurer and his
even better looking chief clerk, Will
WORKMAN, chatting together. In went THE
SrATEsMAs. News there was none. The re-
ceipts for. the day had amounted to
all of $40, from the land Office, and
$685. from escheated estates--a total of
Spills come in, while the outgo was
$1,000, on account of the available uni
yersity fund, and 5000 on account Of
penitentiaries.
"But we are not quite broke" remarked
Mr.. Workman. to which the governor
added, "We'Il make his heart sick, and
tempt him to sigh for the icles Of Canada,
while you are talking to him."
The sigh has been in the heart of TIE
SrATEsMAS's confidential servant ever
since, for Workman drew from his big
vault three packages, and held them
temptingIy TO view. They contained,
respectively, 100000, $4,000, and
$4,000. made up of bills,
ranging from $50 up to $4,000, and all

Hon. A. w. Terrell:
This able and distinguished gentleman
is now before the country as a candidate
for the United States senate to succeed
General Maxey, whose term expires the
first of March. Judge Terrell, we think
is the man whose eminent scholarship
and sound views on public matters qualify
him for this high position of trust and
honor. The election is matter entirely
within the power of the members elect
to the legislature, but we will expect that
body to elect the man whose ability com
mends him most highly to the senator
ship. This man we think is the Hon. A.

SOME papers not friendly to Judge Ter
rell are attempting to injure him by init
mating that he has or will Withdraw from
the present senatorial race, with the in
tention of running against Senator Coke
two years hence. This dodge will not
work. 1t has been tried too often. Judge
Terrell has no intention of withdrawing
from the present contest, but will remain
candidate to the end, and If he should
be defeated, which, from the indications
before us now, is hardly possible, he will
not enter the race against Senator Coke
If these papers want to pit any one
against Senator Coke, let them bring out
Gov. Ireland This gentleman might be
induced to make this race, as he has some
old grudges to settle with MIR. Coke. No

THE END OF LIFE.
John w. MATTINGLEY'S ANSWER
TO ROLL CALL--A BRIGHT LIFE
CLOSED AT THE MEDIAN

POINT.
There were few young men in Austin
better known than John W. Mattingley.
Earnest, sober, industrious, yet genial
and bright hearted, he was companiona-
BILE with all, and consequently had friends
everywhere. He came to Austin when In
his young years-in fact he was only
about thirty when he died. He started as
hard worker, and as hard worker he
pushed himself until he acquired
proprietary interests. For hve
wears past he was more or
less connected with the ice, coal
and cotton. interests of the city, but for
two years past, on account of his health,
he spent goodly portion of his time in
the mountains of western Texas. He re-
turned a short while ago from one of these
trips. having resolved no benefit, and
since, has been slowly and steadily sink
ing. Though young and unmarried, ne
has family relatives who sorrow at his de-
mise, and there are hundreds of friends
who deplore the fate that has taken away
so sterling a limb of sturdy society
The funeral will take place from the
residence of Mr.. E. P. Hopkins, at 3
O'Clock this afternoon. The Knights of
Pythias, of which the deceased was a
member, will attend the funeral in body
