of 1879 and all other acts contrary to its
express terms. The wording of the petit
ton is very severe both upon Mr.. Walsh
and Governor Ireland, and charges them
with illegallty - though not specifying
whether willful or ignorant. Such terms
emanatlng from one high official of the
state and attacking two Others, is at least
unusual and coming at this time on the
eve of elections might be most significant
If these men are guilty, as charged, of
positiye malfeasance of duty-it might be
good grounds for impeachment-but
hardly for this stab in the back, this co
vert attack.
Commissioner Walsh does not wish to
shirk any of the responsibilities for his
action. For even if the patents are lille
gal-he claims their issuance has and will
work much benefit to Texas. Greer coun-
ty has long been disputed territory, the
U. S. and Texas both laying claim to it.
And Commissioners Walsh contends and we
think most logically, that the fact of Tex
as acting on her claimed ownership and
locating en- the land would go great
way towards settling the dispute in favor
of Texas. And in the mean time, until
the question is settled, Texas is reaping
large yearly profit in rents and taxes
from the lands thus disposed of. The
legal rights may be still in allegiance but
we think the policy of Governor Ireland and
Commissioner Walsh eminently judiciou:
and sound.

BOWIE COUNTY .

The instruction of this county for Swain
yesterday, will lie an indication to his enc
mics that he is not yet defeated. Glorious
old Bowie, which contains Texarkana and
other towns, possibly may represent the
sentiment of east Texas, where the intlu-
ence of the cattle kings, the syndicates
and the millonaires may not be so SUI
preme as in the west
In declaring for Swain, the democracy
of Te1arkana and Bowie county say, in
so many words, that the use of the school
lands by cattle syndicates, composed of
foreigners aud others, for nothing. shall
cease.
Again, why may not the action OF
Bowie be also intended AS re.
buke to the utterly debasing and
degrading trickery employed to defeat
Colonel Swain, notorious instance of
which was the Bexar convention: The
people of Texas, from the days of Judge
Waller aud Sam Houston, have always
been for fair play, and no doubt they
will sit down on the regular system of in,
trigue and chicanery, evidently adopted
in this campaign to overthrow Colone
Swain.

THE TARIFF on WOOL.

The wool resolutions adopted by the
democracy of the tenth congressional
district, in convention, at San Antonio,
Saturday, merit attentive consideration
This is one of the great interests OF West
Texas, and it cannot be wondered at that
Mr.. Ellis, of Uvalde, who introduced the
resolution was sollcitous to obtain some
favorable expression from the conven-
ton on a subject so closely allied with the
interests of his section.
The resolutions DO not claim or ask
high protection for wool, as do the wool
men of Ohio. But they do ask that wool
be not put on the free list, and that If the
tariff is reduced or revised, wool shall only
bear its proportionate reduction.
This, at least upon its face,
appears fair and just proposition.
There can be no valid reason why wool
should be placed on the free list any
more than sugar or iron, or any other
article.
The interests of the people of Texas, as
well as other sections, require general
reduction of the present legalized system
of robbery of the.agricultural states, called
protective tariff The interests of the
great masses of the people of the United
States demand, as a matter of justice, that
custom duties be cut down to point
where the revenues of the government
alone will be subserved. But when they
are, let each article sustain its proper
tional cut. No reason exists why the wool
interest should be destroyed by tariff re-
duction, while other articles are left un-
touched. There should be no discrimina-
ton.
1t will be happy day for this country
and its toiling millions when absolute
free trade is declared. But until the bill
lion and half national debt is paid, free
trade is impossible, without direct taxa
tion. A tariff for revenue only is neoes-
sary, and under it wool should bear its
proportionate taxation.

Now, while all this may be very true or
very false, it strikes an unprecedented
reader, to be ultra the reasons call

istence. Men are not sent to that body
to make political capital for themselves or
for any party. And, while party holding

WOMEN AS sMUGGLERs.

Detroit Free press.
Women seem always fustered at the
thought of passing custom house.
guess most of them have reason to be. 1t
is claimed that no woman ever passes Il
custom house without smuggling. This Is
Il libel on the ladies. On the top OF the

who seemed in great terror of the custom

dutiable that she knew of. | assured her
that in that case she had nothing to fear.
The officer made very thorough exami-

some boxes of gloves and few knick-

charge duty on, and, after ascertaining the
price, told her what the amount would be
