THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRON
MENTS UPON THE CITIZEN.

The counsel for Valiant, the an
archist who threw the bomb in the
French cham Der of deputies, resorted
to the only possible defense that was
left him, and that was when he asked
the jury to condone Vaillant's crime
on account of the condition of the So
ciety in which he was brought up.
His infancy was locked in the cradle
of crime, and his early youth knew
no other lessons than the shifts and
tricks by which he could swindle 9TH
ers.
This plea of Vaillsnt's counsel may
seem ridiculous to many, but there are
those who will give it some consider
alton, not of course TO the extent of
condoning the crime but as warning
of the result of loose laws indiffer-
emily executed. If the French nation
cannot purge society sufficiently to
make such conditions impossible they
need not expect to prevent the spread
and enlargement of such conditions
but they will soon feel the throes of
another revolution more cruel even
than the one that in the last quarter of
the last century made the streets OF
Paris literally run with blood. A
revolution in a republic and especi-
ally republic governing such mer-
curial people as the French would be
more cruel and disastrous than a
revolution to Overturn a monarchy.
A successful revolution in France
against its republican form of govern.
ment would terminate in anarchy or
an absolute despotism.
1t is not an absurd plea to hold a
government responsible fer the en-
vironments and criminal influences in
which its youth are reared A reput-
lie rests upon the love its people
have for it's institutions and the patri-
otlsm of its citizens. II crime becomes
so general and rampant that no inter-
est is felt in the government by its
people and patriotism becomes a
mockery or a cloak for the selfish ends
of criminals, then it is irreparably
lost and it becomes the slave of
tyranny or the bloody battle field of
anarchy and misrule. A nation is re-
sponsible to a great extent for the
moral atmosphere of its youth.

CARTOONS are not always funny,
but sometimes they are pathetic to
the very borders of tragedy. That
one in Punch Is peculiarly sad where
the young emperor of Germany in full
uniform and with smiling and tri-
umphant face, is leaning over the rail
OF splendid vessel watching the slow
steps of the pilot, Bismarck, as he de.
sends tie ladder into the pilot
boat to take his departure from the
ship of state. Bismarck's heroic
features are saddened and the
very wave of his hand in
farewell is touchingly tender. The
one is enjoying a mean triumph in q
mean way and the other is rssigning
in all the dignity of manhood a glory
that had been won by his stout heart
and brilliant diplomacy. He loved

HE WANTS THE OFFICE.

Street superintendent Joe sehubsr Will Con

1t was understood on the very besi
authority yesterday by The STATES
MAN reporter that the superintendent
Of streets, Mr. Joseph Schuber, would
continue to perform the duties Of said
Office Notwithstanding the fact that
on Monday night the council cut bic
salary from $500 per snnum to 81 per
annum.
The charter Of the city of Austin
provides:
Sec. So. That there shall be super
intendent of streets elected by the coun-
ell at time the other city officers ar
elected. He shall hold his office tof
the term OF two years and until his
successor has been elected and quail

commissioner shall be superintendent

Sec. g.. That he shall receive sal

MIR. Schuher was elected at the last
meeting of the city countil prier to
the one on Monday night, which by
cutting his salary down to the sum of
81 per annum thought to practically
abolish the office. He claims, how
ever, that under the charter he was
elected tor period of two years and
is entitled to reasonable compensa.

HALF 4 LOAF IS BET TER THAI
NONE,

/ While the Wilson bill is not all chat
would be desirable to the opponents
of a protective tariff it will relieve the
people Of greater burden of indirect
prott ctive taxation, which never
finds its way into the public treasury
than it imposes in direct revenue tax
alton to meet the expenditures o! the
government, made necessary by the
Republican billion dollar congress.
The Republicans in that congress
must have anticipated defeat, and
they left legacy of deb: to the
Democratic party in order to make 1t
almost an imposibili.y for the Demo-
Gratis to reduce the Mckinley tariff to
a revenue basis. That they piled up
this debt wilfully and maliciously, to
give the only aid in their waning
power to the favored classes there can
be no doubt. Circumstantial evidence
sometimes the best kind of evil
dence. The circumstantial evidence
furnished to arrive at this conclusion
is first offered by the fact that Nj.

term left a cash balance in the treasury

$5O,0nO,O 900. And this, mind you, in
the very face of the TACT that the sink
ing fund amounted to $5O,OOO,OOO an
nual!y, in round numbers.
Can it be possible that any one is
foolish enough not to know that the
Republicans were using the protective
tariff to enrich its friends at the cost
of the last dollar it could drain
from the blood, bone and sinew of the
working classes of the country?
The people have more sense than the
politicians give them credit for. They
put all these facts together and voted
for Cleveland, the exponent of tariff
reform backed by the national Demo
cratic platform. They will be disap-
pointed that they cannot get clean
sweep of the whole dishonest and
mischievous policy Of high tariff,
but they must also consider the con-
dition of the country, and be satisfied
with what they can get, not
Nbating a particle in their intentions
to reduce the tariff strictly to reve-
nue. basis and bidipg their time with
all the patience left to Democratic
and betrayed people by party pro

according to agreement filed. Mrs.
Randell receives $500 and her five
children $500 each, $4,000 in all. She
was to secure $4,000, provided a
change of venue to another county
could be secured. County Attorney
John z. Gillespie informed Mrs. Ran

the kind and the civil suit has been
compromised for $4,000. The criminal
case will be set for trial tomorrow and
then an effort will be made to take the
case to another county on change OF
venue. A prominent attorney said to

Randall has already received $1,000 in
cash. This morning $4,000 was depos-

DEATH BED REPENTENCES AND
PARDONS.

1 is contended by very intelligent
men that the conversion and pardon
at the last moment of the most brut-
allied murderer is consistent with the
theory of the Christian religion, and
they give us the example of the thief
on the cross. The modern conception
of heaven 10 a place where the puri-
fled spirit clothed with the resurrected
body enters upon the highest duties
for which life on this earth Is prepa.
ratory. II that is true, religion must
be q thing of cultivation, and if that
is true, the conversion and pardon at
the last moment of the most cruel and
debased of our race is inconsistent
with the theory and certainly the
practice of Christian religion. If a
murderer all reeking with the crimes
Of earth, Is as well prepared for the
discharge of these higher heavenly
duties AS the man of pure and Chris
tian life, then the whole theory of a
life of "a cultivated Christ an drops TO
the ground,
The pardon Of the thief Oh the cross
is not fair illustration Of the CONVEX
sion and pardon of rapists and muir
derers. Evidently the thief on the
cross who reproved the other
thief for mocking Christ was the
better of the two thieves, and IN his
reprOoi and admission that he suffered
justly, and then in asking for pardon
leaves strong inference that he was
not II debased sinner. 1t may have
been that no had led an honest life
until too strongly tempted he suffered
on the cross for his fret crime. All
the circumstances go to show that he
was u better man than his condition
indicated. We protest against such a
man being used to engratt the theory
of the sudden conversion Of the MUIR
derer on the Christian religion. The
very people who believe Nichols was
pardoned and went to heaven would
revolt from coming in contect with
MIN in any world, or with any of his
his kind. 1t degrades and debases
the conception of heaven that we try
to make exalted to the youth of the
land to tell them that such q fiend
went to heaven; and, too, it has ten
dency to degrade and debase the
Christian religion for such religious
exercises to he held at such eXecu-
tione as were held in the jail here
last Friday. What q desecration of
that graf old hymn, Nearer, My
God, to Thee! There is no objection,
in fact it is right, that condemned ra-
pists and murderers have the benefit
OF all religious ministrations, but let
1t be in the privacy of the condemned
cell aud not in public. The ignorant
and the superstitious make heroes OF
these fiends, and their execution is
rather encouraging to crime than dis
couraging. But let this ignorant class
be assured there are no such short cuts
to heaven. II such foul fiepds as
Nichols ever get to heaven be assured
that their route is through the deepest
depth OF hell

that Of the New York republicans that
il is tho same kind OF dust that for
many years has been thrown into the

THERE is nothing alarming in the de-
fection OF a few sugar planters in Lou
lana from the democratic party. Their
only reason for Joining tho republicans
is the hope that II that party should be
restored to national power it would
again give the few southern planters q
bounty on their products, said bounty
being collected as taxes FROM the pro-
duots of those who produce live stock
grain, manufactured goods, or anything
else whatsoever. There are not enough
of these bounty hunters to have any
noticeable effect on the democratic
majority in Louisiana.
