ABOUT VALIDATING TITLES.

NpVCF
The alarm created in some parts O
the Panhandle by the suits to recover
lands granted to railroads for sidinA s
now owned aud improved by settlers,
should be sbated by the assurances
of representatives of the state. the
public conscience of Texas will not
tolerate the custer of one single set
tier from his home, held by a chain
of title originating with the patent of
the state. If Governor Hogg desires
to do goo, for himself and Western
Texas he will say as much IN his
speech here tonight. Fort Worth
Gazette.
Gov. Hogg cannot say it unless he
is willing to eat his words, he having
said on several ferent occasions
that he would if re- elected governor,
make the settlers disgorge. He is so
overwhelmed with the idea Of Hogg $
importance that it has occurred
to him that almost all the
horny handed are perfectly willing to
surrender their homes to the land
sharks just to have HOgg elected
governor again. There are few per
haps who are willing to do that, so
impressed are they with the governors
intense hatred of corporations, but
they are scarce, and as civilization
advances they will become scsrcer
still. The Gazette's position is cor.
rect, but it has only been two days
since it condemned Judge Clark for
proposing to recommend to the next
Legislature. if he was elected Cover.
nor, the passage of an act val
idating all the titles encountered by
the Val Verde suits. The Gazette
says the Legislature cannot perfect a
title. THE News is of the opinion
that George Clark's legal opinion is
worth quite as much as the legal
opinion of the editor of the Gaze tie
and would command much
higher fee, The only claim being
pushed is the claim of the state and
the Legislature certainly has right by
special act to transfer to the present
owners what title the state has. There
are many sections of land upon which
patents have been refused because
they were In litigation, The legisla-
ture could certainly provide for the
issuance of these patents to the limo.

Gazette in its anxiety to defeat both
Hogg and Clark and especially the
latter, whose idea of the states duty
to its citizens who bought these lands
in good faith is quite popular with the
Gazette constituents in. the North

them are correct in their statements

CLARK AND HE HOMESTEAD LAW

The INSCRIPTIONS and irresponsible
Hogg organs Of the state, invoking the
aid of all manner of missrepresenta.
ton, have accused Judge CLARK OF
being against the homestead law, and
following out this idea Governor Hogg
has recently said iu one Of his speeches
that Judge Clark's suggestion to loan
the school money on lands was but a
step in the direction of destroying the
effect of the homestead law. The
following is what George Clark said
last March In Austin when delivering
to the senate portrait of "Three-
Legged Willie, (Which was a gift
from the son of that great hero:
Hitherto, the boast of English
speaking people that every mans
house was his castle, into which even
the king could not eIter except upon
invitation, had been only partially
true, The king, perhaps, could not
cross the sacred threshold, but his
sheriff could, and after enterance
seize upon the household goods
and household gods of the
unfortunates and drive their
loved ones out into the GOLD world
without shelter, food or raiment.
How queer it Is that this barbarism
was first arrested by the old fathers
of Texas, who sat and deliberated in
log hut for capitol. 1t seems
strange now, as We look backward,
that no other civilized people detected
wrong in the merciless seizure of
the home by the officers of the law,
and that it remained for the pioneers
of Texas 10 establish and promul-
gate great principle in
the economy Of government which has
been since adopted and followed by
every American state and territory.
The world owes to Texas the concep-
ton Of this grand idea that the homes
of free people are above the law and
beyond the law, aud that no Fmatter
how urgent the demand, no matter the
misfortune that may betlde or the
consequences that may follow, the
abiding place of the family shall be
sacred. In the storms that are sure
to come this will be the sheet anchor
OF our safety, for the preservation
the home begets patriotism and con.
servatism; and capital, which is ever
seeking the unfortunate for invest.
ments, can never lay its hand upon
these people and make them
aught but freemeu. Other
states and other people are today being
crushed and ground to the earth
under false and foolish mama that
cheap money can be borrowed upon
the pledges Of the home without detri.
ment TO the commonwealth. But
here in Texas the fallacy could never
take root, owing to the forethought of

This 10 election day. The day vhsu millions
Of men will shout themselves hoerse for the
candidate who will be defeated and when other
millions will temporarily lose their voices
through efforts to glorify the victor aud his
c.use; when the hopes OF one party, perhaps
two. will be crushed for four years. All over
the grea, geographical area Of the United States
there il noise and enthusiasm and scheming.
In the cities the clarnor OF the multitudes has
drowned the hum Of commercial industry; In
the country there Is forgetfulness - to crops
and indifference in all matters that are non
political Everywhere except In this city there
IL more or less Of disturbance; here only is
there absolute calm II may be that the silence
will be fractured even in Washington before

For the political parties there 10 nothing more

TO its supporters, has conducted brilliant and
magnificent campaign, has shaken the strong
holds Of corruption and foulness to their
foundations, has assaulted every position held
by the frightened enemy, has found encourage
ment in every act Of its opponents. and IL nov
confident Of the victory that must come to the
only party that has for its object the purifca-
tion Of the ballot, the uplifting Of American
manhood, the enlargement Of American institu-
tions and increased prosperity for the entire
nation
In recent presidential contests the public has
never had to watch closely more than two or
three doubtful states and on the results in those
commemorative the popular verdict has hinged,
but today the dubiousness is so widely scattered

strsbismus These uncertain spots have al
been indicated BY THE STARS special corre-
spondents. and when the period Of doubt has
given place to the first moment Of certainty the

Since the incoming Of civil service reform the
Inhabitants Of this city view with but little aP-
prehension the coming of election day and It's
inevitable successor-the fourth day OF the
March following There Is no good reason why
sny washing,ouian should permit himself to be
unduly excited. and the probabilities are that
there will be an entire absence of anything more
harmful than the noises without which true
craftsmanship seems TO be as nothing.
There will be no real reason for national
grief. no matter which organization comes out
on top. Whatever party wins the greatest re-
public in all history will continue to do bust
ness at the old stand and the prosperity which
comes Of intelligent industry will be ours to a
greater degree than ever. Even the collapse OF

rily disturb the national equilibrium.

that the selection Of President viii not be left
to handful Of Weaver electors or to q House

In Minnesota and one in Oregon. Other
western votes are claimed for him with
more or less confidence. A result Of the bal
Ioting, which would give him the balance OF
power IN the electoral college, would be no
more Extraordinary and unexpected than a
clear victory for Harrison or Cleveland. The
failure Of Harrison TO secure Q majority Of the
electoral votes would at frst glance seem to
mean the certain victory Of Cleveland by the
vote Of the House Of Representatives. But 1t has
been minated by some Of the third party
leaders that some of the Weaver electoral votes
would be thrown for Harrison If necessary to
defeat Cleveland. The failure Of either Cleve-
land or Harrison to get clear majority OF the
electors voted for today would, therefore, re-
suit in a competitive scramble between republi-
cans and dem ocrats for the Weaver electors, in
which previous party affiliations, promises Of
action on the silver coinage question and
perhaps superior pecuniary temptations ad-
dressed TO individuals might decide the
votes Of these electors Or il they held TO Weaver
indifferent as to whether not their course
would elect Cleveland, the House, alleged to be
unconstitutional in its make up, would be made
the arbiter. Let Us hope that one candidate
vii have q clear majority. We want no repeti-
ton in any shape Of the experiences Of 1876.
