men high in official public life, bnt Of our
nations capitalists and progressive men,
is it true that "Texas is the only one OF
the states l have never been in?" Al d
whose fault is it? Is it not largely our
own? Is not the verdict of every one
who visits I xas, 81 am astonished at your
climate, resources and area; the genial,
cultured and hospitable people; your
wholesome respect for law and Or
der, and the marvellous growth your
state has attained" Only yesterday
Mr.. F. H. Ertel, representing "The
Morning Journal" of New York City,
newspaper of 23S,O0O circulation, who has
been for a month in the state and has Gov
cred q good deal of ground in that time,
said TO Us, "Texas is TO me revelation.
We of the north hear for the most part
only the sensational things about your
statl-your lawlessness, for instance. Now,
/ have found nothing of that here, while l
have found a magnificent territory that IN
every way surpasses the tnuch-adVertlsed
California. Why don't you let the world
know what you have in Texas, the finest
farming and grazing lands in the world,
and inexhaustible mineral resources? Let
the true condition of your state be known,
and you will be flooded with
immigration from the capital and
labor seeking north and east"
And Mr. Ertel is right. Texas, pursuing
blind, houndering policy, has allowed the
world to form an opinion of her, not for
what che is, but 90 sensation has painted
her. Let us begin to proclaim the truth
and Texas of ten years hence will be the
to US she is to day to strangers.
We have been favored with the reading
of description of Llano county sent 1.-THE
Morning journal" by Mr.. Ertel. Such
praise,in modified form as to character of
resources, can be written of nearly every
county in the state, and Travis county
would profit by so being placed before

Is CRIME ON THE INCREAsE?

The Cronin assassination, as well as
many other recent murders OF lees note,
perhaps, have called public attention to the
evident increase of great and startling
crimes all over the country. Scarcely a
day passes that the wires are not burdened
with the details of some fendish outrage
sometimes deliberate and open butch
cry, sometimes, as in the Cronin
case, dark and bloody consplr-
aoy and murder 1t is scarcely
necessary to refer TO statistics to
show that crime in its higher degret
is on the increase in this country. Has
the public MUD not drifted away from the
healthful, moral influences and those safe
guards which the good old-fashioned re-
ligious ideas of our forefathers threw alike
around the family circle, private charac-
ter and public life-ennobling and devel-
oping all that is good, great, gen
erous and sacred in humanity AS
a nation whether from absorbing the
agnostioism of modern philosophy or not,
have we not become, to certain extent,
morally unsound, since the enormity of
great crimes is contemplated with little of
the horror that they once inspiredF
Again, the lax execution, or rather, to a
great degree the non-execution, of our
criminal laws, the mistaken leniency, not
to say actual sympathy, with crime 80
generally found nowadays in the jury
box, if not indeed under the judicial er-
mine, is one great cause of the alarming
growth of high crime throughout the
country, nor will this state of affairs be
emedied till healthier public sentiment
rows up, strong and broad enough to
vershadow and crush the criminpl classes.

However this may turn out, always

Judge returned, with deep feeling. "Our

"If Mr.. Martin be my rival" resumed
the Judge, "let him have his chance and
defeat me if he can. If he be the better
man it will appear; and God forbid that

"You might have rivals more danger

mother, with another smile, and so the
interview came to close.

that the states right of forfeiture must
be regarded as waived. The court con-
c!udes, however, that the state has not
waived its right to a forfeiture for the
violations of the Constitution and the
conditions in its charter involved in said
sale by the respondent to the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway.
The only remaining question is, should
the penalty for forfeiture be adjudged
against respondent, the essential
charges in. the lntorma-
ton being sustained by proof and
the penalty not having been waived as to
the. failure to keep an office in the states
Not only has the state granted impor-
tant and valuable franchises to the re-
spondent, but it has granted ixteen Sec
tions of land for each mile, and for these
valuable considerations the respondent
has undertaken to construct, maintain and
operate its railroad. The last two named
duties it has willfully and by design failed
to perform for the past seven years. This
failure is of the very essence of the con-
tract. It is a failure by the respondent to
fulfill the purposes for which it was Gre
ated.
This very lengthy document concludes
thus:
considering all the circumstances of
this case, and apply ing the law as under
stand it, my conclusion is that the state is
entitled to the judgment sought. Accord
ingly judgment FORGETTING respondents
charter and corporate franchises will be
rendered"
AS the case will be appealed, no receiver
will be appointed at this time. If the
Judgment should be affirmed the appoint
ment will be made.

WHERE DO THOSE MILLIONS GO ?

The United States has merely nm excuse
for a standing army, aud Indeed, with its
vast we'll trained militia forces, it needs no
large standing army, but the following
rate money is now being tossed to pen
sion grabbers we could maintain one of
he largest standing armies of the world:
In any other country than this, or with
people So indifferent than ours to what
BECOMES of the revenues, the extraordinary
growth of the pension fund under the
combined efforts OF the claim agents and
the political demagogues would be start
ling. In 1878, thirteen years after the
close of the war, when the claims would
naturally have begun to diminish, the ap-
plications allowed had decreased from a
maximum of 10000 in 1866, the year after
the war, to 1000. The Disbursements
had fallen off from maximum of $685.
100000 in 1871 to $2G,000,00O. Last year,
twenty-three years after the close of the
war, the applications allowed were over
10000, including the survivors of the Mexi-
can war, lately pensioned, and the disburse-
ments this year will be at least 800, 900, 900.
This sum exceeds by $27000,000 the total
ordinary expense OF the federal govern.
ment in the year before the war. 1t just
about equals the cost of the standing army
of Great Britain 1S0000 strong) and
nearly equals the cost Of the great German
army almost 100000 strong) and with
orporal Tanner in charge, there is no
cling where it will stop"
Is there no way Of calling to Corporal
Tanners attention the fact that he is
spending the peoples and not his own
money! Is it not his duty to observe the
same watchful care over the public
treasury as be does over his private
funds? Would he trust the horde of per-
sion agents swarming down upon his de-
partment as implicitly, were they laying
claim to advantage from some vast private
corporation of which he was in charge
If his policy is continued, the nation will
coon sigh for the time of the fan Gus

The following local notice is clipped
from the Express simply to point the

opportunity was ours as well as San An

A NOTICE this morning, taken from The
(Richmond) State, shows how the Texas
soldiers who died fighting for the south
ern cause have lately been honored in a
sister southern state. Should not such
events call pointed attention to the neces-
sity and propriety Of our doing something
for those of our section, who, though not
killed in that dreadful struggle, passed
through the dangers, prlvations and suf-
ferings of those long years of blood and
strife and came out OF them broken in
health, spirit and property and have been
left stranded on the highway of life? Let
us shower upon the living substantial tes-
timonials as general, as earnest and more
beneficial than the tears and honors we
cast upon the lowly mounds of the dead.
The silent tomb shuts out from sympa-
thetic appreciation its cold and lifeless
tenant-the dead should be held in tender
est memory, but the quick must not suffer
in want and unattended old age, while
manly, generous hearts beat in southern
breasts.

WHO WILL SAY NAY?

Young ladies, did You read the words of
the minister at Taylor last Sunday, to
the effect that you "could do most any
thing you pleased with the young men"
That is a wonderful power! Bishop Pot
ter cut to the root of the political usages
of this day and time:-could we dare the
inquiry, has the influence of the young
ladies of this age grown steadily for the
better since the time of our honored
grandmothers? Temperance enthusiasts
insist that many temptation to ruin
comes from the lady's prefer of wine.
Was that not a custom prevalent of oldP
GaIlantry and truth compel the testi-
mony that the fair sex of the Nine
teenth century were never surpassed,
if equaled, in any CLINE, country
or era. The high opera hat,
the ofttimes monstrous fashions of
a passing day offer alluring targets for the
jtster's shaft, but even the whimsicality
and inanity of misshapen society growth
have not blunted the noble, tender, halo
crowned sensibilities of true womaahood.
Their sphere of usefulness is unlimited
and they fill it to nicely. The mothers
of the good olden times are reproduced
in the daughters of to-day-under what
ever sham of the conventional there beats
a heart that does credit to its prestige of
these thousand years and more.

Shakespeare said there was nothing, but
there is. Would Caesar have had such no

absurd. Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Purgs-

The hEAKIN CONCERT. The heavy
press on our columns this morning
prevent any extended notice of the
complimentary concert and ball ten
dered Mr.. John P. Meakin by the K. of
P. last evening. The Grand Opera
House had fair gathering for a con-
cert-a species of entertainment never
very popular here-and under the
direction of Professor Kent some
excellent musical numbers were

presented were rather more of

Opera House The-orchestIa, though
light, played effectively and comet
Duet by Mr.. Aldous and little girl,
Miss Margetts, worked some wonder
ment and some hearty applause. Miss
Thomas sang "Thy Name" beautifully
and was encored. Mr.. Meakin. who
received a warm welcome from his
friends has a pleasant ballad tenor
voice, and sings better than he recites;
for an encore he gave Let me Like q
Soldier FALL" the Duet with Mrs.
Meakin was not SO much appreciated.
The guitar solo of Mr.. McAllister was
we'll rendered and an encore followed
when he did less creditably owing to his
instrument getting out of tune. Mr..
kent's solo was as ever excellent. The
concert closed at 10 O'Clock, when the
floor was taken possession Of by the
dancers and an enjoyable social inter-
change followed to late hour.
