TERRELL.

Hon. A. W. Terrell, of Austin,
is now regularly before the people
as candidate for the United States
senate to succeed Hon. B. S. Max
ey. Tho Galveston News of Sun
day publishes an interview with
Mr.. Terrell IN which he expresses
lis opinion very freely. He is in
favor of the free coinage of silver
and d thorough revision of the tar
if, the south and west have already
too long paid tribute to the east.
The south and west shQHld unite
and work for their common inter-
ests. He says Mr.. Cleveland is a
president whose general policy
seems to be WIse and Democratic,
but whose ideas regarding gold the
people OF the south and west will
not approve. Tho center of pop
ulation has already drifted west of
Cincinnati, but strangely the GEN.
ter OF political influence remains IN
the east; the need of the hour is
craftsmanship that will make tho
south and west understand how in
separahle their interests are unit
ed, and make them control this
government in the interests of
the whole people instead of
that of protected classes enriched
by partial laws. In regard TO state
matters Mr.. Terrell would have
free grass abolised and make those
using land for grazing purposes
pay 8 fair rental; he would also
do away with the land corporations
which are occupying so much ter
ritory to the detrlment OF the
state.
The News fully endorses Mr.. |
Terrell and says that he does not
belong to the machine. So far as
the ideas advanced by Mr.. Terrell
are concerned they are not by any
means new. nor are they objection
able. Mr.. Maxey, who is now serv-
ing his second term in the senate
has been thoroughly tried and has |
not been found wanting. He is a |
steady hardworker and never
makes any speeches for bunoomb.
IL ere may be more brilliant men
han Ma1e7, but no man will be
'ound who will pay mo- attention
% his duties or do better work for
lis constituents than he.

The New York Sun and Tribune
have been making war upon Mr..
Garland because of his continuing
to hold his telephone stock. The
New York Star defends Mr.. Gar
land in Its issue of Thursday. 1t
says among other things: at is
admitted that Mr.. Garland acquir-
ed that interest at a time when
neither he nor any one else could
reasonably foresce that be would
become 4 cabinet officer. 1t is adj
mitted that the terms upon which
the acquisition was made were sat
lstactory to the parties concernded.
And as there is no law, or custom,
or public sentiment requiring a
citizen to dIspossess himself of his
property upon accepting temper
airy political position, there does
not seem to be the smallest lmpro-
prioty IN Mr.. Garland's keeping
what be had. As for this lawsuit
there is only one point legitimate
ly involved, and that relates to the
rights OF the Bell Telephone COM
pany. If that corporation is en-
titled to its present monopoly the
people will contentedly submit to
its enjoyment thereof. II not, the
people have been egregiousIy
wronged for many years past, and
1t Is important that the injustice
should be terminated at once.
There are two opinions, 1t APP
pears, as to the point in question,
and the government has done
nothing but its duty in providing
for q judicial determination be-
tween them.

A SPECIAL to the Houston Pos
from Austin, dated January 28th
says: The state treasury suspend
ed cash payments OF all claims to.
day at about 3 o'clock. A check
for $4,000 was presented by the
educational department for inter
est due the available school fund
Payment of the check was refused.
and the curtain was rung down on
all claims for the time being. The
state treasurer stated that he did
not know when payment would be
resumed, but thought not long.
In fact, the state is on the wrong
side of the ledger to the tune OF
about sl50,000 and not cent in
the treasury to pay it. All this
results from reduction of taxation
by the last Legislature, which was
strenuously opposed by ComptroI-
Ter Swain as unwise and unpolitlc.
Treasurer Lubbock seems down IN
the mouth about the affair. The
cash balance in 1880, as appears in
the records, was over $685., 900,
but has now dwindIed down to
$3.50, 900 worse than nothing, and
with a big bond interest ahead to
be settled IN July, amounting to
s85, 200.

THE Houston city government
has promptly and significantly in,
dorsed the petition sent from that
city to congressman Stewart, a few
days ago, tavoring deep water al
Galveston. This, says the News,
formally aligns Houston with Gal
weston in this important cause and
sets an example for all other plucky
and aspiring cities of the state. 1t
has long been apparent that Gal
weston is the only really available
point on tho Texas coast for a large
commercial city; she has great ad-
.yantages IN the way cflocatlon and
now the OILY important city on the
coast. She is so situated then her
railway facilities may be increased
indefinitely. To establish a new
city would cost many million dol,
lars to say nothing OF the building
of the railroads that would be re-
CURED to make the new point
available.

THE CONVICT PROBLElL.

The st. Louis Republican dis
cussing the question of what to dc
with penitentiary convlcts so that
that they may be kept employed
and made to earn their own sup
port says: "They cannot be sup,
ported in idleness, for that would
be expensive to the state and in
curious to them. They ought to
make their own living. This is
exacted of honest, law-abiding men
outside the prison and certainly
nothing less ought to be exacted
of the law-breakers within" There
is one employment hitherto untrIed
In which they could probably do
the state some service without
coming in competition with honest
labor. We mean road work. OF
course this would require q thor
ough organization under effective
guards and overseers, but the ques-
ton is so serious as to justify the
most careful efforts to solve it.
The convlots ought to bo treated
humanely, indeed, but they may be
treated humanely and made to do
the public some service at the same
time. Probably 500 of them might
be detailed under guards into diff
ferept counties and worked in
gangs of ten, twenty or fifty in
breaking rock, digging down hills,
making bitches, building culverts
and spreading macadam and gravel
under the superintendent of over
seers appointed by the county
court. The counties should have
their labor for the cost of feeding
and shelterlng them and supplying
them with tools; the remainder OF
the expense might, with good rea-
son, be borne by the state, since
the state would be a large benef-
ciary ofthe improved roads. Every
Improvement that benefits the
counties increases the states reve-
nue., and the two might well act
in a measure for securing
improved highways at the lowest
possible cost" The BANNER claims |
