A REVISION of the migration
lists is as much needed as a revis-
ion of the pension list. The latter
demOralizes the treasury to a small
extent, but the former demoralizes
the industries of the country, floods
the nation with cheap labor and
undemOcratic ideas, swells the
number of paupers and criminals,
makes cheap and often a beg
carly thing of American citizen
ship, and in every way possible
makes this country the dumping
ground for the refuse of every
other under the sun. Let the evil
come to perpetual end.

IF every man in this country is
to be written down a fool who kiss
es fair lady's hand, as those are
who thus saluted Eulalie, then this
country is full of fools. To be sure
they would have preferred the
royal lady's cheek, but as that was
not offered they took the next best
and kissed her hand. The rot that
has been written about this cour-
tesy to the Spanish lady is con-
tempUible.

BoIs, of Iowa, is again a candi-
date for defeat at the hands of the
Democracy of that state. He is
DESTROYS of being a victim, but the
demands of the party cannot be
ignored. No man knows better
than he that his victories in the
past have been owing to the dis
sensions in the Republican party
over prohibition, and that with
this question at rest, there is no
show for a Democratic victory,
but he has been the recipient of too
many favors to deny the use of his
name at this time, so it is ordered
that he will lead the forlorn hope
and die in the third term ditch.

DISTRICT JUDGE HALL, in re-
cent charge to the jury at Cleburne,
in referring to them the investiga-
ton of certain "whitecap" out
RACES, said:
"YOu have been called together
because it has been reported to the
court that peaceable citizens have
been taken from their homes by a
number of masked men wearing
the garb of men and severely
whipped. This conduct is a dis
grace to our country, and the par
ties engaged in it are offenders
against the law of the state. l
charge you to give the matter
your most earnest attention and
If you Can find out who the par
ties are, you will indict the cow
ardly poltroons so that they may
may be brought to justice. You
will not adjourn until you have
given the infamous outrage most
thorough and searching investiga-
ton"
This charge has the right ring.
No one but a coward will put a
mask on his face and strike in tn e
dark, and the sooner these med
dlesome regulators are themselves
regulated in the penitentiary the
better for the state.

THE Corpus Christi Caller says,
anent the proposed road to Calves
ton:
"The BeevilleBee suggests to the
San Antonio people that it would
be far more sensible to build a
railroad from San Antonio to
Brownsville than it would be to
build one from San Antonio to
Galveston. AS there are already
two railroads between the two
last-named places we consider the
Bees suggestion a very wise one"
That road to Brownsville is all
right, and San Antonio will see
that it is built in good time, but
for the present that road to deep
water in the southeast takes pre-
cedent. That road would open up
the most valuable section of all
south Texas and give this city the
trade of vast region every acre of
which is capable Of the highest
cultivation. Nothing that is at
present under consideration could
more directly benefit this city than
an air line to either Nelasco or
Galveston, and the LIGHT is of the
opinion that the Velasco line is the
better project of the two.

have passed resolutions to lie effect that
