Judge Noonan Will Raise tn,
Standard.

To the Daily LIGHT:
The Express, in commenting up
on Judge Noonan's nomination
says his friends "will find that
there is a vast difference between
voting for a man for nom political
office and voting for him for a po-
litical office" In other words, the
Express would have the public to
understand that the Congressional
standard is not as high for integ-
rity and ability as the Judicial.
The people preferred Judge
Noonan for judge over Hous-
ton, because they considered
him more reliable, more able,
more worthy. They both belong to
the same profession-one has been
judge, the other a practitioner.
Yet the Express would have the
people believe that there is some
peculiar fitness about Gus Houston
over NOOnan. The people want
just such man as Noonan. His
high character, his wide represen-
tation will be great advertisement
for West Texas. We don't want a
trucking railroad attorney to rep
resent us. We believe in raising
the standard of our Texas Con.
gressmen by electing Judge Moo

Ed JOURSAL:
| noticed in your valuable paper
of Dee. -, 1894. a suggestion from
the Bolivar Free Press. ;. earnestly
calling upon its party in the Leg
islature to put forward Il measure
extending the term of office Of
prosecuting attorney to six years,
which would be a great saving to
the State. At the same time.
would it not be a great saving to
the State to pass law making a
criminal Justice in each county
| think 50, for the following reas-
ons. viz:
AS the law now stands. it throws
two-thirds Of the misdemcanorS in
the Justices court, especially those
located il or near the county seat.
A. this justice is nearest the prose
cutting attorney and at the county
seat where the prisoners may be
safely held and tried in the circuit
court room. why not let him try
all eases Of mis,lcmcanor: This
could be done by all the other us
ticcs in the county making all war
rants rct;lrnabIc to him. Let him
collect all fet- due said Justices and
their con>tahIeS for issuing and
serving warrants, also pay the fec;
when collected. Let this criminal
justice try ali miSdemc;nor cases,
also the civil cases which would
come under his jurisdiction.
! will now submit my reasons
why the State would save money
by establishing this office. 1t is 4
well known fact that Justices let of
wrong-docrs many times because
they are neighbors: ag;tii,. there
are Justices who let them off with
small fines in order to induce then
to come back, and thus make NOR,
fees; again. there are justices, whs
will issue warrants IN trivial mat
/ tcrs in order to oct the fees: thei
again. there are criminals who vii
90 before these Justices and plca'
! guilty, and be fined probably :
dollar. when the fine should have
been more.
| claim that if the law was en-
forced without partiaIity, which 4
township justice is almost forced t'
deal out to his ncighbor, tla
crimes would be less frequent.
Again, many warrants are ISSUED
and arrests made that when the
prosecuting attorney investigate:
. the case it is thrown out Of court
| With the criminal Justice !; consul
tation with the prosecuting attor
ney could first be held. and if thcr
is sufficient evidence upon which t.
issue a warrant. let it be done. bl
if the complainant should insist o1
having Il warrant issued whcr
there is doubt of conviction, le
him give security for costs.
This would also be a great con
vcnience to the prosecuting attol
ncy, as he can transact his busincs
at the court house and won't hay
to ride all over the county. Ls
him decide the number Of witncsSe
necessary to Try the Gaze Wit
equity.
/ This criminal Justice should b
paid by the State; his eompcns;
ton being according to the popuI;
ton Of the county. This woul
enable him to keep posted on Grin
inal laws.

ALREADY there is talk of another
bond issue. The late sale Of bonds
to rcplenish the gold fund brought
that fund up to S115, 200, 900, or
$15, 100000 above the so-callcd
danger mark, and in less than one
month it has fallen below 800, ,O0l.-
600, with fair prospect of further
depletion. Less than one-third of
the amount withdrawn has gone
abroad and the balance has gone
into the vaults Of Wall Street bank
ers who have bought the bonds that
have already been issued. The
Administration has said that the
gold fund must be maintained at
all hazards, and is, therefore; play
into the hands of the men who are
making another bond sale neces-
sary and who are now drawing the

THE Pennington "News' advo-
Gates putting convict labor on our
public roads, as a solution of the
of the road question. We endorse
Bro. Pigg's suggestion and believe
it would be a good plan. The an
nual report Of the Warden of the
Missouri Pcnitentiary shows that
there are now confined in that in
stitution 2129 male and - female
prisoners. Out of this number the
labor of only 1880 is contracted
for, leaving about half Of the pris-
oners to be supported by the State
in comparative idleness. The aver
age criminal has no dread Of serv-
ing a two or three year sentence in
the Penitentiary, for he knows that
he will be we'll taken care of, and.
if employed at all, his labor is not
arduous, but ON the other hand, if
he had too serve like sentence at
hard labor in road making his
dread of such arduous labor would
deter him from committing any
act that would bring him in contact
with it, and the result would be a
reduction in crime. Our penal in
stitution should be so conducted
as to bring it into as little competi-
zion with free labor as possible:
and there are but two ways il
which this can be done, one is fol
the State to support its prisoners
in complete idleness; the other is, to
put them at work on the public
roads. If our Republican Legisla
turc would forever endear itself t(
the hearts of American free labo,
it will take some action on thi:
question.

which places under ban the Odd

Many thousand Catholics belong

WHY THEY STRUCK.
""rkmen Who Objected to Sitting Around
 and Doing Nothing.

It has been customary tor many peo- pie to consider the southern laborer as slow lazy and shiftless, yet writer in Engineering Magazine says that no stranger could enter one of the mills or pass day in the pine-t timber woods without being surprised by the vigor with which work is performed.
 Work has become an instinct: the laborer knows but four conditions eating, sleeping, working and, after pay day, carousal, or absolute idle ness.
 A curious story of strike is told at one of the mills The hours of labor are long-from dawn to twilight. In the winter the hours are fewer, but in summer the saws are buzzing and the whole community alive and at work beforethe sun has touched the tree tops.
 A northern foreman of philanthropic principles took charge of certain mill, and sorrowed within his heart for the poor fellows wearing out their lives with the cant-hook and saw. So he de- creed that from seven o'clock in the morning to six in the afternoon should constitute the labor of day.
 There was a murmur in the -camn. and in two days there was general strike. Called upon for reasons, the spokesman stated the case of the men:
 We all jus doan like dis var gwine ter wuk at seben o'clock Wha's de use ob sittin' aroun' fer two hours in the mawnin' 'fo' gwine to wulz? We jus ain gwine to stan it, dat's all.''
 So the strike was declared off by the superintendent agreeing to allow all hands to go to work at dawn and keep at 1t as long as they could see.

A HOST IN HIMSELF,
He Was an E PIuribus Unum Sort of a

He Was an E PIuribus Unum Sort of 2
 Fellow. It would be well if all jokes were as innocent as one played by railroad con ductor upon commercial traveller and related by the traveller himself in the Yankee Blade. He had left the train at little station, junction, on a western branch road, where he was tc wait several hours for a train going in another direction. There was no one in sight, and he was looking about in a homesick fashion, when the conduc. tor spoke to him.
 Dull place, ain't it?" said the con- ductor
 Rather" answered the commercial traveller, especially if you've got to stay here four hours"
 ''Oh, well, you won't be without com pany."
 But don't see any. Who are they?"
 Well, said the conductor, speaking slowly, as if he were reckoning them up by process of recollection, there's the telegraph operator, the booking clerk, the cloak-room clerk, the signal man, the storekeeper, the accident in- surance agent, the postmaster, and one or two other officials. You'll find 'em inside the station"
 That isn't so bad," the traveller thought, and as the train started he en- tered the door. The station was dimlv lighted, with no one in sight but a sandy-haired man at the telegraph in- Strument.
 Where are the others?" asked the traveller.
 What others?" answered the tele- graph operator
 Why, the cloak-room man, the book ing clerk, the postmaster and the rest" The man began to grin.
 ''Oh, it is that conductor again. he said
 Well, where are they?" repeated the traveller, with some asperity.
 The sandy-haired man tapped him. self on the chest
 ''Them's me" he said. Come in and sit with us.''
 And the traveller, appreciating the Joke-a sort of e pluribus unum re- versed,-accepted the invitation, and found himself in pretty good company.

BLUE-EYED INDIANS,
They Live in Mexico and Are Known as
 "Griegns."

Anoy Live HI MeXicO and Are Known as
 "Griegns."
 In mountain village, perhaps a days ride from Mexico City, lives a tribe of exclusive, aristocratic Indians called lbs Griegos," the Creeks. says the Chicago Tribune. They are light complexioned and the majority have blue eyes and light hair. They dress principally in two shades of blue and their clothing IS good, well made and generally embroidered with the bead and silk embroidery of which Indians are so fond. Their houses are better built and furni ished than is usual among Indians. Many have pianos and other musical instruments upon which they play with considerable skill. These ''Griegos'' have no com merclal or social connections with other tribes, holding aloof from even those who live at the base of the mountain on which their village is sit uated. They raise their own food. do their own manufacturing, have their own schools, churches and social insti- tutions, and seldom or never marry out side of their own tribe There is said to be another tribe of blue-eyed fair haired Indians, who have the appear- ance of Germans living in the Sierra Madre mountains in the state of Du- rango.
