CARELESS of any personal difficulty

right Of the state to have any
voice in regulating the contro-

any consideration on the part Of
the state when these relations be-

1t was not unexpected that Mrs.
Breckfrridge would share in the
shame and disgrace Of her hus-
band. Had she been more ready to
listen to the voice Of her betr aged
sister it might have been other
wise. There is pathetic under
tone to the accounts given of the
silent sorrowfulness OF the patient,
faithful woman who has thus
linked her life with a national
shame. There is not heart that
opens to the misfortunes OF earth
that will not deeply sympathize
with this Mrs. Breckenridge the

PRoFLIGATE JUDGES.

1t is not a pleasant subject Of
contemplation that is presented to
the consideration Of the people OF
Texas in the recent proceedings be-
fore the legislature to secure the
removal Of certain judges. The
memorials as presented at Austin
allege such profligacy on the part
OF these judges, such violations OF
every law of common decency,
such utter disregard OF the spirit
and obligations Of their office, such
perfect contempt for public opinion
as to show the most absolute dis
qualification for the high office Of
the judiciary, The case that comes
before the legislature, from the
judicial district down upon the Rio
Grande, is peculiarly aggravating.
1t is charged against this judge
that the most sacred rights Of the
bench have been trampled upon
profanity and drunkenness and
abuse Of litigants and attor-
neys seem to be of fire.
quept occurrence; assaults up
on the virtue of a feeble
minded girl are alleged and his
pursuit of her to the bedside of
her dying uncle; assaults upon
a lady OF good character in pub
lie stage coach; and, other conduct
equally unbecoming.
This memorial comes signed by
reputable persons and is shelved in
subcommittee because malicious
prosecution is alleged. The Legls-
lature OF Texas must purge itself
from the contempt into which this
disposition of such case will
bring it if it is to escape general
condemnation. The mere suspi
cion of being guilty Of such crimes
should work immediate and rigor-
Gus investigation into the truth or
falsity of the enormities alleged.
1t is due to the accused, to the
members Of the State Legislature,
to the people OF that judicial dis
trict that this matter be not passed
over because it was maliciously
charged. How could common
honesty and decency approach
such criminality otherwise than
maliciously. 1t matters not by
whom presented or under what
personal feeling, charges like these
against a judge upon the bench
cannot be dismissed without con-
sideration commensurate to their
gravity. The representatives from
this judicial district should not let
the matter rest. The LIGHT calls
upon the Bexar county Senator
and Representatives to ventilate
this matter, probe it the bottom,
and put the odium upon the prop.
er parties. II the charges are true,
remove such an ulcer from the
body Of the state judiciary. If
false, put the brand Of falsehood up
on those who prefer them and save
the state from the foul aspersion
that must rest upon her so long as
matters remain as they are.

The results of the failure Of the
present congress to harmonic on
matters of financial legislation will
be felt in the Democratic conven-
ton OF 1896. OF this fact the
shrewdest members of that party
are well aware and are sounding
their notes of alarm. 1t will not
avail. There is no possibility of a
harmony of action in the present
outgoing Congress that will pre-
vent fatal discussions in the next
National convention of the party
now in power. This fact worries
the leaders more than their failure
as a party to give relief to the
country.

The controversy between the
President and Congress, on the
currency legislation necessary to
prevent the withdrawal of gold
from the national treasury for
speculative purposes, has reached
such state that any result is no
longer looked for. The feeling
grows fractional and the only solu-
ton will come with the dissolu-
ton Of Congress. Whether or no
matters will improve after that is
one OF the questions on which the
lamp OF passing events throws no
light.

One of the most fallacious ideas
in the world is that of molding
public opinion in the columns Of
a great daily newspaper. The G d n
is a regular weather cock, only
indicating in which direction the
wind Of popular feeling blows and
trimming its tail feathers accord
ingly. There have been a few
newspapers in this country who
have actually nodded public opin-
ion, but not lately. The average
does not even note public opinion,
only the opinion Of its particular
party. This is journalism of the
present. What it will grow to
after it has gone to seed who is
rash enough to forecast.

The mortgages that are now car
rled by the people Of this coun-
try more then dowble in value the
amount Of the National debt at the
close OF the late war. 1t would
take more than six billions of
money to wipe out this score and
remove the blanket that covers as
with pail the industries and the
homes Of the people. Figure the
amount of interest that is yearly
required to carry mortgages and it
is readily seen what burden it is
on the people. Rated at five per
cent. it is exactly $3OO,OOO,OOO.
