GOV. ROSS ON PARDoNs.

Perhaps no act of his administration
becomes Governor Ross 30 well as un
loosing the shackles from the young Ger
man girl Rosa Schmidt. But the act
itself is not more commendable than the
governors position in the general matter
of pardons, as enunciated by himself in
his letter to the employers of Winter, who
maltreated his female prisoner. The po-
sirion taken by the governor IS alike
oreditable to him, as the chosen
TT preventative of the people of
Texas, to his vigilance as our
chief executive, no less than to his
chivalric sentiments rs southern
man when appealed to by the sensibiii-
ties of young womanhood, barbarously
outraged in the person of Rosa Schmd'.
The governor very correctly represents
public opinion in this state when he init
mates that the people want violators of
law punished; when, through the courts,
they (the people) adjudge them to be
punished, and that he has no desire to
thwart their wishes. Only in exceptional
that of Rosa Schmidt-is the
exercise of the pardoning power proper,
becoming or necessary. 1t was only and
originally intended for such cases. Its
abuse, when dangerous criminals are
turned out by the Wholesale, as sug
yested by the governor, becomes a source
Of damage 10 the peace, order and happi-
ness of society. Governor Ross is for
furnishing the guilty, yet not utterly ig
noriDg the cry of outraged humanity, as
In the Schmidt case. The records of his
the extremely few par
lons granted, show that the governor
practices what he breaches. The pardon
policy he has announced in the letter
alluded 10 will but add TO Governor Ross
already great popularity with the people
Of Texas, and it ought to do SO.

The University Fund.
To the Editor of The Statesman:

To the Editor of The Statesman
The friends of the University of Texas
are undoubtedly under obligations 10
Senator George W. GlasscOck for his
manly stand in behalf of keeping intact
the appropriations to that institution, IN
dependent of the claims urged by the
Grangers in behalf of the Bryan branch,
or agricultural college.
1t is by no means certain that Mr.. Glass
cock will be candidate for re election,
and other gentlemen of this county have
been suggested. In fact, me, at least has
announced himself as a candidate for the
nomination by the democratic conven-
ion. It is important to the interest of
the FRIENDS of the University to
know how gentlemen IN this or other
COUNTIES in this senatorial district stand
on this issue between the University and
the college at Bry an. Will these gentlemen
inform the public what course either of
them would pursue if elected? Would
they vote for part of the available Uni
versity fund to be given Bryan college, or
would they favor keeping the University
fluid confined to that institution, and if
any deficit might exist beyond the inter
est, $4,000 or $4,000, of the fluid from
the federal government, favor that deficit
being made mp out of the general reve-
nue.? These are important questions to
the FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY

WHILE we are sitting quietly by and
waiting, we are being cut off from rail-
road communications to the east, north
and west. We did not build to the south
east some two years ago, and now Basrrop
trade has gone elsewhere. We are now
refusing to build to McGregor, and the
st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas railroad,
the one with which we should connect, is
about to build across from GstesvilIe to
Lampasas and on to Llano. Let Us only
remain while longer inactive and Burnst
will gain connections with all that west
ern country, and then through an outlet
north, all the produce of that fertile sec.
ton will pass US by and leave us behind.

THERE would not be a dollar of surplus
in the treasury, if the state would e1peqd
that money in the channels even now de-
manding it. For the capitol building,
four hundred Thousand dollars; for peni-
Tertiary buildings, asked for by the
superintendent, four or
five hundred thousand dollars; a
new lunatic asylum, the state re
formatory, the deficiency in the
sheriff's and attorneys fees, and
the money due the University. Pay out
these sums and where is the surplus now
howled about? The taxes need no reduc-
ton; the expenses of the state in running
her institutions and administering her
affairs are yearly increasing, and they
must be met. We need no extra session
of the legislature to add to those expenses.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
wAsHINGroN, Mar. 80, 1883.

WARRINGTON, Mar 20, 1885,
Editor Herald:
The death of Chief Justice Waite has
added another and very important
issue to those which will be decided by
the presidential election this year. 1t is
in short, whether the supreme court of
the United States shall be republican or
democratic. fit is to remain republi-
can, it is absolutely necessary for the re-
publicans to elect the next president, as
he will in all human probability have
the appointment of the successors to
three or more of the republican justices
of that court, two ofwhom, Bradley and
Miller, are already well past the age at
which the justices are eligible for retire
ment, while one, Justice Blatchford, is
within two years of the retiring age. .
The court as it now stands has six re-
publican members and two democratic,
with one vacancy, sure to be filled with a
democrat. So it is for the people of the
United States to decide whether Messrs.
Bradley, Miller, and Blatchford shall be
succeeded by republicans, ensuring CON
struction of the constitution and its
amendments that will not change the
war and the legislation which followed
it, or whether they shall be succeeded by
democrats, whose construction of the
constitution and amendments would b.
sure to differ widely from those OF thu
court for twenty-five years past. Prob
ably no question has ever before beer
submitted to vote of the people that
has had more important influence on thu
history of the country than this one viii
have in the near future.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is
misery. Indigestion is a foe to a good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful Things
in existence. 1t is very easily put out of or
der.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits and many other things which ought
not to be. have made the American people
a nation of dyspeptics.
But Greene's August flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people SO
healthy they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember-No happiness without health.
But Greenes August Flower brings heslth
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for bottle, seyenty-five cents.
