TEXAS LEGISLATION.

Perhaps one OF the most hopeful signs
In Texas for her future advancement is
found by examining the class Of measures
for legislative work that are now being
discussed by the press and people oil the
state The social and intellectual prog
ress OF a people Is an undoubted evidence
that the forces at work are of such a ma
ture as will elevate the masses and secure
to the state that prosperity which can
alone be permanent. Never before has
there been so much interest manifested
In the public-school question, and it is to
be hoped that the members of the present
legislature Will be fully alive to the de-
mands Of the hour, and provide such a
system as shall place Texas on a
level with older states in the
advantages furnished the children
of the state; that they may
also have iar-seeing wisdom to adopt
such measures as shall lead TO the selec-
ton Of the best textbooks, and raise the
standard of teachers qualifications to a
height commensurate with the desired
advancement. Another subject brought
to their attention Is a reformatory for
youthful offenders. The necessity for
such an institution need scarcely be
urged, the reasons for its establishment
are so apparent as to render argument
unnecessary. To force the young in
crime to constant association with the
hardened criminal is course of state
policy suicidal In It's tendency. 1t can
not be the object of any government to
foster crime, and yet the present system,
of herding criminals debars the tender
youth from all elevating influences, and
leaves him prey to that hardening pro.
cess that contact with vice must in.

As consequence, the large chapel
where the entertainment was given was
crowded. The receipts amounted to near
ly $500, and the performance was consid-
cred quite success, there being goodly
number OF talented actors among the con-
victs.
1t is reported here that there will be
some opposition tosthe appointment of

will be written the new governor from

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE is attacking the
Louisiana lottery. The Express tried that a
few years ago, the only noticeable effect being
that In lass than three days after, the editor
was invited to go in with three of our most esu
mAble Christian ladies TO make up pool TO buy
50 ticket. This discouraged the Express on
that line of much needed reform.-s San An
tonic Express.
II the lottery were not so boldly adver-
tised, perhaps those Christian ladies
would not have been reminded OF the
chance to raw a fortune-or blank.
Prohibit the advertisement of lotteries
and much money will be saved to Texas.

MEN
During the past summer the peo-
pie OF Fort Worth paid their
water tax regularly, and for
months received no adequate equiva.
lent. This was borne with but little com.
plant, for all appreciated the difficulties,
and there was nothing more than the nat.
ural protest. But later, complaints
are more serious and affect the
management of the works. In return for
the consideration shown by the public
last summer in paying for what IT did not
receive, IL IS nov alleged that arbitrary
methods are pursued towards the people.
This matter demands the prompt at
tentlon OF the municipal author
tiles. II the management is
not at fault, let the people
know the facts II the management has set
up a despotism in our midst, let It be at
once dethroned. The fact is being re-.
called that an attempt to gouge the Texas
Pacific cost the taxpayers OF Fort
Worth hundreds Of dollars an.

at that bungling piece OF work is grow
