a Strong Argument.
PhIladelnhta E cord.


Senator Reagsn's argument against the
conetitutionality Of the Blair educational
bill seems to DE impregna6le. There is
no warrant for experding the money in
the federal treasury for purposes clearly
within the Jurisdiction of the states. The
scheme involves such stretch Ct the
power Of Congress aswould justify veto
by the President on the ground OF at
tempted usurpstion This scheme Of
htre- brsined paternslism throws strong
light On the danger involved in maintain
ing great surplus in the government
strong box. II Is lure to weak minded,
namby PANTY sentimentalists OF the Blair
order, who would like to constitute
themselves almoners for the distribution
of money filched unnecessarily from the
hard earnings OF labor, SIS well ss for
more desperate schemers who are anx-
ious to line the pockets Of their friends
by promoting ell sorts Of wild expendi-
ture. Once begun, the national educa-
ton" bounty, Ike the "infsnt industry"
bounty, would be fastened permanently
as yearly drain upon the pocket of the
tex payer. Il Will never do, let the states
look after st.te sffairs.

OF success is an open one, and the oppor-

fortunes Of the war and inaugurste an

1t Is only necessary TO go to work In an

has sense enough to see that 1t does not
pay to cling o5stinately to old notions of
industry and commerce simply on account
Of their sge. She does not allow her
prejudices to govern her operations
agsinst the plain teachings of practical,
everyday wisdom. Her doors are hos
pitsbly thrown open to newcomers, and
capital is encouraged to buy her lands
and help to increase her products. In
short, she pursues course directly OPP

A SLICE OFF THE PANHANDLE

CLtt1 OFT ne IANhdATO Ill d
The new movement for an exchange Of ter
ritory between Texas and the United states,
embodied in bill introduced or about to
int oduced In Congress by memher from
Alabama, will attract At eral attention all over
the state. The proposition is for the United
States to cede to Texas all that part Of the In
dian Territory included In the right angle
form ed by the meridian of Fo,t Worth on the
east and the parallel of Memphis on the north,
ADD which includes 6rrer county. In ey-
| ch nge for this large scope of valuable terri
tory Texas Is to cede 10 the United States sill
thas part Of the extreme top of the Panhandle
lying NOR h of the latitude of Memphis and In
Guiding the valley of the Canadi N river
This cession from Texas is to be used In erect
ing new state, comprising also a portion of
the Indian Territory.
1t is true such bargain would finally and
for all time settle the Greer county question
but there are other considerations that should
weigh in concluding such contract. There
are political and other points tina: should be
thoroughly reflected up IN before closing the
bargsln-[Austin Statesmen.
Speak out, man, like Texan! There
are TO considerations, political or other
wise, thst will tempt Texas for one mo-
ment to entertain any proposition look
ing to dismemberment Or division OF
this grand empire. The bargain will
never be closed, aud not even debated
outside the newspapers. Texas now and
forever, one and indivisible. Greer
county is but disputed territory-let it
GO; but not one foot OF Texas land will
be parted with.

INDIANA WHITE CAPS,

The organization known as "White
Caps" In Indiana does not seem to be de-
tered from committing outrages by the
severity CT the weather. The latest ex-
plot recorded against this organization
is the unmerciful whipping administered
to venerable and inodensive Baptist
minister. The White Caps entered the
minister's house during the night, drag
ged him from his bed and whipped him
until his flesh vas horribly lacerated,
when they left, telling him that his pun
ishment was for the reason that he did not
provide well enough for his family. This
orgs.izatior, like the Bsld-Knobbers of
Missouri. was formed By good men with
good Intentions, for the purpose Of regu-
ls3ing affairs and rjghting wrongs that
could not be reached by the ordinary
processes OF law. Like the Bald Knob
bers, too, it soon driited into Illegal
methods and was used as an instrument
CT private vengeance to IL fict injury very
often upon innocent people. It is one
more illustration, il illustrations were
needed, Of the viciousness CT ignoring the
courts and the ordinary methods of justice
There are times when mob law or lynch
law would appear less blamesble than al
others, but neither can be Justified. There
are cases OF guilt, absolute enormous
crime, passed upon by judges and juries,
where the culprit ia turned loose sgain
upon society unpublished, and to visit pun
lshment upon whom s. resort to illegal
methods must be had. There is scarcely
q community that has rot its deliberate
murdarers stalking around by the grace
of an ignorant jury's verdict or the astute-
ness Of lawyers, or both, and at first
glance 1t might seem thst En Indignant
public morally certain of the assassin's
guilt might be excused for taking the law
in their own hands and inficting condign
punishment upon him; but the crime Of
murder is less Injurious than the crime ef
mob law. The one strikes and Injuries
the Individual, the other strikes ard in
lures society. Lynch law disorganizes
the most sacred institutions Of the coun-
try, lessons faith in human laws and
human wisdom and throws to the breeze
the bloody standard of anarchy; while, no
matter how much death is deserved,
lynching is simply murder. The White
Caps and the Bald-Krobbers did
no. organize for the purpose of
committing murder, but such is the
legitimate result Of unlawful confedera-
tons. When fsith in the laws of the
country Is once impaired, there Is no
hating place until chaos and crime are
reached. Organizations Of this character
give unbridled license to the worst H.
stincts IN our natures and arouses all
the brute there Is in man. Feeling him.
self secure from the reach OF the law, the
naturally vicious impulses in some men
assert themselves and govern their con-
duct. The fesr Of punishment is what
Restraints many who, when shielded by o
secret organization and by the tacit
acquiescence OF others, permit their most
vicious impulses to dominate. OF course,
the majesty Of the law must sooner or
later assert itself, and those guilty of
sinnirg against it must suffer the conse-
ounces of their actions.

a Georgia View OF Joe Brownery.
Augusta Gazette


The people OF the south pay very little
of the internal revenue taxes. LAST yesl
Georgia paid less than one-three hundred
and fitch part Of these taxes. Illinois
paid seventy-six times more of them than
Georgia, and yet some have the effrontery
to assert that theee taxes are peculiarly
oppressive and hard in their burdens on
the people of Georgia.
But they do pay their full proportion OF
the burdens Of tariff taxes on articles OF
absolute necessity. Do they wish these
taxes TO be retained, and, in all prObsbili-
ty, to be increased, while the internal rev
enue taxes, of which they pay only 81 out
of every $3.50 received by the government,
are abolished? In other words, do they
prefer to retain the taxes thst bear hard
est on them rather than those which they
hardly feel?

"TEYAS FINANCES -

Barring some political coloring in the

largely and fsvorably advertise Texas to
the world:
"rexss hes good reason 10 congrstu-
late herself upon the strikingly healthy
and creditable showing which her Comp
troller makes ss to her financial condi-
tien and prospects. 1t appears that
during the fiscal year ending August 81,
1887, there was an excess OF 1925, 900 in
receipts over expenditures, and that there
is now cash surplus Of more than ST.
000,0 eco in the treasury. In other words,
the state Is SO situated that it can reduce
taxes iastead of increasing them, and yet
carry on the public improvements which
is growth demands, and make ample pro-
vision for al the ordinary necessities Of
government. There Is no other southern
state which can boast OF such s successful
mana cement Of its business affairs; and
there is no other southern state which is
in every respect SO prosperous and so en-
terprisipg We do lot forget that it gives
the largest Democratic majority Of any
state in the Union; but it is proper 20 say
at the same time that the people OF Texas
know how to be Democrats without be-
ing Bourbons in matters outside OF poll
tics. They find it possible to vote the
Democratic ticket without refusing to
adopt Republican methods OF material
progress; and the result is seen In She
