We see this feudal tendency, swept away
by Mr. jefferson, revived by the conditions
of our time, aided by the government with its
grant of enormous powers and its amazing
class legislation. 1t has given the corporation
more power that Mr.. Jefferson stripped from
the individual, and has setup creature with
out soul or conscience or limit of human life
to establish an oligarchy, unrelieved by human
charity and unsteaded by human responsible
ity The syndicate, the trust, the corporation
these are the eldest sons of the republic for
whom the feudal right of primogeniture is re-
vived, and who inherit its estate to the i'm
poverishment of their brothers. Let it be
noted that the alliance between those who
would centralize the government and the con-
solidated money power is not only close but
essential. The one is the necessity of the
other. Establish the money power and there
| is universal clamor for strong government.
The weak will demand it for protection against
the people restless under oppression-the pa
triotic for protection against the plutocracy
| that scourges and robs-the corrupt hoping

The Road 20 Ruin.

From all parts Of tho Union and
largely in the fertile states OF tho
Mississisippi valley, comes the In
formation that in many cases one
half or more OF the farms are mort
gagged to eastern capitalists. In the
South, and even in Texas, a similar
state of facts is threatening u.s.
Landowners somehow manage To
"whip the devil around the stump
40 as TO avoid the homestead law.
We clip the following startling arti-
Gle from the Blanco News, and we
have the best authority for saying
that the same state OF things prevails
in our own county. The prevalent
credit system, based on our usuri-
GUS rates OF interest, if something is
not done, and that soon, to arrest
the downward progress Of the coun-
try, will reduce our laboring people
to q state of actual serfdon. Will
not our legislature hasten to undo
the wrong done by their predecess-
ors to tho poorer class by lowering
the rates of interest as justice and
the general welfare demand2 Here
Is the Blanco News article:
Wo publish a letter this week from
DR.. jennings, which, while it is large
ly descriptive of Hunt county, dis
closes some startling facts, facts that
stare, not only Hunt county in the
face, but all Texas.
The mortgages, even here in Blan-
co, would astonish any one not famil-
lar with the facts. A few large crops
are the only thing that Gun possibly
save the country, and they are need.
cd immediately. Our farmers will
have to cease the credit system or
they will inevitably have to succumb
to the nterest.building mortgage.
Hunt county is not an exception
in the mortgage business, every coun-
ty in the state is in the same condi'
ton, some not SO deep in as others;
but all are feeling the mailed hand OF
the mortgage system clutching at
the throat of the farming interests.
At the present rate it will only be a
matter of few months or years,
when the lands of Texas will pass
from the present owner, not back to
the state, but into the pockets of
land syndicates and corporations,
and Texas the grandest country on
earth, will be in possession of Land
Lords and Aristocrats.

We clip tho following from the
San Antonio Times, and earnestly
commend it TO some OF our ultra
church people who arc hostile to our
public schools on supposed religious
grounds. Wo commend to all such
the Golden Rule as oxpounded in
tho following. Don't allow your mar
row creeds TO come between you and
the discharge of Christ.like duty to
your fellow creatures
TIE RING OF TRUE METAL.
Occasionally there comes to our
desk paper called the christian at
Work" The Times thinks that it
deserves the title which it has as
sumed. It's opinions, its advice, its
methods are not those Of tho theor'
etical Christian, who weeps over the
woes he will not contribute n cent to
relieve, and exhausts effort to raise
funds for the heather when want and
hunger at home beg for charity.
Speaking of the public school sys-
TEN it says: "If we disestablish our
non -sectarian schools and establish re-
ligious and therefore sectarian in
struction, what sail VIC do with dis
sidents, not Of our faith?
Shall we do by them as we would
have them do by us, were the sltua-
ton reversed, or shall We tax them
for schools in which religious doc
trines shall be taught lnimical to
their faith ?"
"Do by them MS we would have
them do by us, were the situation re-
versed" is u proclamation of univer-

There is considerable discussion
among the Legislators at Austin con-
corning a constitutional convention.
Upon this subject the Austin cores
pondent of the Galveston News says {:
"a large majority of the legisla-
ture favors y convention, but mem
bers doubt whether their constituents
want it, so it is likely to fail this SEES
sion. 1t is possible that the question,
whether convention be called or not,
will be submitted to q direct vote Of
the people. If any constitutional
amendment is submitted, this ques-
ton can be submitted at the same
teme without additional public eXpen
Sc, and if the affirmative prevailed it
would force the next legislature to
call the convention.
