The honor, dignity and peace of
| the state of Texas are involved in the
constant irruptions along the Rio
Grande. She has force of rangers
which, depleted as these ranks have
been, are able within two or three
years to convert the border into q
peaceaDle and law.abiding region.
Give the rangers commission to ac-
cOmplish that end, arm them with the
proper authority and discretion, and
every man familiar with their record
in the past will guarantee that with
in two years not a man will be left

overdo it.

Liberality to the men who fought
for the union and those who suffered
thereby is one of the noblest and best

anything OF the spirit of petty mean
