THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while o er them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And a hundred happy whisperings OF flowers,
No, they neither wed nor plight.
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is OF other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burgh of by and by,
Where the streets have grasses growing, cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No, they neither sigh or sing,
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves of autumn march q million
strong.
There is only rest and peace
In the city Of surcease
From the failings and the wailings meath the
sun;
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently o er the biers,
Making music to the sleeperS, every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them it seemeth best
For they lie at ease aud know that life is done.

THE institution of slavery has not wholly given
up life even in the United States. 1t is said
there are few colored men still held as slaves in
portions of the Indian territory, in remote dis
tricts of Texas and in the everglades of Florida
columbus (Ohio) journal.
The density of the ignorance concerning
Texas in the state of John Sherman and
Foraker may be, seen in the above extract
from daily newspaper at the capital of
the state that prides itself on its superior
intelligence and virtue. 1t would be in
credible that Intelligent men and
women anyyhens in the Union
could believe lie so absurd,
did we not have the proof in print. Is it
surprising that demagogues like Foraker
thrive in state the daily papers of which
give currency to such absurd and mon
strous lies?

County Road Bonds.

The encouragement has rendered an
unofficial opinion to the effect that coun-
ties cannot now issue legal bonds for the
purpose of constructing roads, but that
the legislature may confer such power.
This is in conformity with Section 2 Art.
XI of the constitution, which reads:
"Sec. 2. The construction of jails Il,
courthouses and bridges and the estab-
lishment of county poorhouses and farms
and the laying out, construction and re-
pairing of county roads shall be provided
for by general laws. j."
In pursuance of this authority the leg
islature first passed law providing that
bonds might be issued for building court
houses and jails. After some years the
necessity of issuing bridge bonds became
pressing and without any general law to
permit the issue bridge building COM
pany accepted county bonds from several
counties, upon the supposition there was
a general authority TO contract such obli-
cations contained in the constitutional
clause quoted. Upon the discovery
that the bonds were valueless a law
was enacted to authorize the issue Of
bridge bonds. Such was the purport al
the measure, but a clause inserted toYaTd
the last section validating the bridge
bonds already issued disclosed the real
import of the act. There is mGeh
greater demand for good roads than ever
has been for bridges, and it is presd1ReA
it has become sufficiently pressing sse Z

The Libel Law.
Houston Age.

The Houston Age suggests the most
sensible libel law we have yet seen in
print. 1t proposes that the lawyer who
takes case on "spec'' be required to
share the losses as well as the profits when
the plaintiff is cast i'll the suit. 1t is n
leading maxim of the law that it is to the
interest of the public that litigation
should cease, and if the law proposed by
the Age should be passed, the black
mailing shysterS would rarely be heard Of
in the courts = Brennan Banner. r.
The law should be general in its apPli-
cation. When a lawyer cOntractsSstO.
prosecute q case for a part of whathe.
can make out of it he becomes in faetss
and should be made in law, partner -
the plaintiff. His interest should appear
of record. He should be made a tastsg
to the suit and be required to meek3ust
such a share in an adverse judgmSht az
he would have in a favorable Judgment
Such law would operate as an Stoppel
to good deal of the perjury committed
under that pauper's oath statute.

HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS

The land law needs revision in the interest
of the homeless citizens of Texas and others who
may desire to acquire homesteads in this state.
| The acquisition of homes by the hundreds of
! thousands OF tenants in Texas would be far bet
| ter than..the piling up OF a billion of dollars
school and university funds at Austin.-L Mexia
! Democrat.
Thereyare in Texas to-day hundreds of
the state by promises of homes to be Sc
cured on terms easy of fulfllment.
Three-fourths, perhaps a larger ratio
of the farmers of Texas are tenants, who
as rule make no material advance
ment in their condition from year to
! year. After the payment of rents they
have barely enough left from the pro-
ceeds of their yearly products to support
their families.
These men are helping to enrich the
state; they are developing its resources,
they are blazing the way for the intro
duction of capital. Without the aid of
its tenant farmers the Texas of to-day
would show but little improvement upon
the Texas of forty years ago.
They have made Texas, and what has
Texas done for them?
1t charges them for its lands double
the price that they are worth in cash
market, and excuses the extortion on the
plea that its terms are easy.
1t charges them double the interest rate
that money commands in the commercial
centers of the world, and pleads in justi-
fication that private money lenders re-
ceive still higher interest.
If misfortune overtakes the school land
purchasers, it takes advantage of the oc-
casion to confiscate their property as the
penalty for days delay in the payment
of debt.
A simple calculation will show that it is
impossible for men without capital to go
families to develop the resources of the
country in the upbuilding of homes and
to meet all the financial requirements of
the Texas land law.
If the public lands are ever settled it
will be by men of this class, and the law
as it now stands acts as a prohibitorY
tariff upon them.
Every homeless man in Texas ought to
be permitted and encouraged to acquire
home out of the public domain if he is
willing to go upon it and to put his shoul-
der to the wheel in aid of its develop
ment.
The keynote of the coming land law
will be homes for the homeless.

THE lawyers are making it lively for
the law in New York. The use of cleo
tricity in the inflictlon of the death penn
atty was passed June, 1888, and the law
provides that criminals convicted of MUIR
der shall be executed by the new method
on ard after January l, 1889. 1t also
expressly provides that no criminal whose
crime was committed prior to January l
shall be executed by electricity. Since
the passage of the new law criminals
have been sentenced to death,
and their lawyers now Grain
that such men cannot be
hanged, for hanging was abolished
before they were condemned, and that
they cannot be electrified for the new law
says no man whose crime antedates jan
uary l next shall be put to death by the
new mode. The courts will have to pass
on these cases, and the murderers gain
few months of life.
