The Animuus and End Of Prohibition.

The more we examine the reason
and common sense there is in this
method of dealing with drunkenness,
in prohibition, the more absurd it be.
comes. If it can effect a cure for that
social evil why not apply it to others ?
Men and women will steal nntwith-
standing the social disgrace and the
severe penalties following the act;
but, let us get rid Of this evil in tina,
modern but universal panacea Of pro-
hibition. How? By removing all
temptations to steal, from a pullet up
to a bank safe. But this is not prac-
ticable, nor is the other, for men will
get whisky and drink it despite all of
our prohibition. But, says the pro-
hibition man, everybody can't get it,
and we ask who are the one who
can't get it? The poor, of course.
Then your lawmakers that pass pro-
hlbltion statutes are guilty of class
legislation, and will make laws that
bear heavily on n set of citizens and
tightly upon others. Men and wo-
men will abuse the laws of social in
tercourse, and let US stop it by prohi-
bition. How? BY removing the
sexes asunder as wide apart as the
poles. But this is not only wrong
but absurd, which we acknowledge;
put just as good as your drink
ing prohibition. When men are to
be made sober by legislation it will
open the door of other encroachments
upon the will and moral rights of the
people that may end in public disor-
der and physical conflict, and we
think the best way is to follow our
Saviour and his Apostles in preach
ing, temperance and righteousness
and fair judgments amongst men.

Mr.. w. G. Mclean stated in his

expended for whisky in this county,

counties which use some Of this SIS

by men who keep books as well as
other merchants. If you please, give
those men WHO buy and sell one
hundred per cent. profit, and you
cannot more than double the amount
Of money expended for whisky which
would make $46 900. The revenues
derived from whisky in all its uses>
and appropriated TO school purposes,

counties in the State, we would meet
the enormous bill of $14, 965, 600,

town per anAum, and estimated at
$40 per bale it would produce s64o, 900,

found Governor Ireland absent in SOguin.
To-day part of the state is in the hands
of the mob, and there is no authority at
the state capital to do anything
at all. In point of fact, on
this, the third day of April, 1886,
Texas has no state government, or,
rather, it is peripatetic government, with
the governor at so remote part of the
state, that it is doubtful whether he can

Governor Ireland is not the master of his

Austin to-day. We do not believe he left

can be safely asserted that in the next ten
years its population will double, and that
the majority of the emigration into the
state will be actual settlers on agricultural
lands. We must prepare for this emigra-
ton by internal improvements.
The county having the best roads will
secure the best part of this emigration,
all other things being equal. People will
come from Europe and the northern
states, where roads are always in fine con-
dtion. Even row it is important to the
merchants of every county town and to
every farmer that we have good roads.
The emigration coming to Texas
in the next ten years will
pay one-third more per acre for lands
in county with good roads, than for
lands where wagon and carriage transport
tation is almost impossible.
Then let us adopt the suggestions made
by our correspondent. Let the members
of the legislature of Travis county have
an act passed permitting each county to
accept its provisions or not, giving au
thority to the county commissioners to
appoint supervisor Of roads, and au-
the county to make an appro-
priation for teams, tents, etc, and also
permission to make requisition for any
number of convicts necessary to put the
roads in perfect repair an keep them so,
build bridges, ETC., and do all such neces-
sary work.
This would accomplish many desirable
ends. 1t would improve the county make

SHREwD UNCLE STEAD'S POOR

Uncle Stead" is what they called
shrewd old gentleman who used to live in
Winthrop, a little way out of the village
up the side of the pond near Readfield,
One of his fellow-citizens was man nam
ed Loveioy. Uncle Stead met Lovejoy in
the village one day, and he said to him:
"Loyejoy, there's poor woman out on
the edge of the town that needs some pro-
visions. I'm willing to supply her, but
I've sold my horse, and have no means of
getting the stuff to her. Now I'll buy her
barrel of -four and ham and some
other supplies if you'll carry them out to
her with your team" Lovejoy said GER
tainly, he'd be very glad to do it, Accord
ingly, Uucle Stead bought barrel of -four
ham, bucket of sugar, ETC., and, telling
Lovejoy where the woman lived, sent him
off on his errand of charity with the good
things in his pung. Lovejoy easily foun d
the house where the woman lived. He un
loaded the goods, putting like a grampus
as he rolled the barrel of -four in, and said
to the woman: "Mr. Steadman sent you
the provisions. He's a mighty kind heart
ed man to send you all these things"
"Well, don't know why he shouldn't
send them to meW exclaimed the woman
in surprised accents. Hes my husband"
