ing's Austin Statesman. Judge Wood
takes broad view of the matter and
says that convict labor works no more
hardship on the honest laborer after
ward than it did before he was con
victed and sent to the penitentiary
The Judge takes the ground that the
labor man does after he is convicted
is us honest as the work he does be-
fore. Judge Wood asks: "Is there
any just reason why a man because
is convict, should not be permitted
to be employed at honest labor2"

The legislature has passed q bill
setting apart the 22d OF February as
"Arbor Day" to be devoted to plant
ing of forest. shade, and timber trees
throughout the State, and to be OBJ
served for that purpose in such man
ner as may seem best to the people
of each community. It offers no
premium OF any kind to stimulate the
people to plant trees as docs Kansas
and other western States besides, it
has selected Washington's birthday

the people are expected to assemble

encourage the people to plant trees,
hence it will prove derd letter.

Marriage Not q Failure.

Emphatically no, only when the
man or woman is failure in his
manhood or in her womanhood. II
is never failure when the man and
the woman are true to themselves
and to each other. 1t is never O
failure where the feeling and the
motive and the purpose are right
1t is never failure when true love
and honor are tho Inks Of unity. 1t
is never failure where good sense
and good principle lead to and con.
troll the relationship. 1t is very
rarely failure, in any event, where
children are its fruitage and the
family altar is the centre Of it's daily
sanctifcation.-Waverly Magazine.

The I. 4 q. N. Railroad.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found pretty full account OF how
this road came TO go into the hands
OF the receiver, or rather receivers,
for there are two of them, The ro-
ceivers are Col, L. II. Bonner, tho
well known banker and enterprising
capitalist Of Tyler, Texas, and N. W.,
Findley, Esq, an ablelawyer and man
of well known and acknowledged
ability, also of Tyler, and from what
we know Of the standing integrity
and ability of these gentlemen, we
feel sure that the affairs Of the road
will be both ably and honestly admin
istered. 1t has been expected for
several months that the road would
be placed in the hands OF receiver
early this spring, but it was not ex-
pected before about the 1st of March.
1t seems, however, that Mr.. jay
Gould claimed that the road owed
him about 100000 and brought suit
for the amount in the district court
of Smith county. The managers Of
the road, who evidently belong to
Gould, came into court and wanted
to confess judgmect without any con-
test, which would have been equival-
ent to turning the road over to Gould
to the utter disregard OF all other
persons who have claims against the
road-and their names is legion.
Certain other persons who were pres
ent came into court and asked to be
allowed to intervene, which Judge
McCord very properly allowed, after
which still others came in with claims
and it was claimed that the road was
and a motion was filed to
so declare it and asking that receivers
be appointed to administer the effects
of the company. Judge McCord
granted the petition and appointed
the receivers as above specified, and
the receivers have taken charge of
the road and all claimants will now
be placed upon an equal footing.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Gould
slightly failed IN his attempt to COB
BILE up this road, as he has done sew
eral others before. Another thing,
he has not got any OF his pets into
he receivership, as has been his
game in other cases of the kind

NUMBER H..
Mr.. Powderly and the Single Tax.


quote tho following from an in
terview with Grand Master Workman
Powderly which recently appeared in
the Cincinnati Enquirer;
"Do you believe in the single tax,
doctrine, as it is called, Mr., Powder
lyf'
ITO certain extent yes. / do not
believe any man has the right to own
800, 900 acres OF land. 1t gives him
too much power over the government
Nor do l think land should be held
for speculative purposes unless it is
taxed. Let me illustrate: 1 bought
a lot on the outskirts OF Scranton, in
the midst of several acres of land, a
few years ago, for 5000, and built my
house. Six months after that
friend wanted to buy lot and il
cost him $1,000. But Mr.. Powderly
only paid S900,he expostulated. Yes:
but, then there is house here now.
Nine was the only house in the neigh
borhood. Now, it was my labor that
improved that property. Since then
n few other houses have been built,
and the lots are now on sale for so,
600. The owner of this land never
put spade into it. He is taxed by
the acre while we are taxed by the
lot. We pay $40 to his 40 cents.
That is robbery: upheld, it is true, by
tho law, but none the less robbery. I
am for single-tax in 80 far as ] believe
in law to remedy this evil. And it
will come. 1t must come, for there
is popular clamor for il.
