GRACE FOR DEBTORS.
Delay of n Month Granted by the

VIENNA, April 24.-The Neu Freie

by a decree dated April Is. has granted a
moratorium Of a month.
This moratorium probably means a gen.
eral suspe nsion of settlement OF debts un-
til a more or less definitely fixed subse-
quent date. The Greek government itself
mas already defaulted on its debt during
several years On December 10. 1893. the

thereafter only 80 per cent of the stipu-

be paid. Since then the five per cent bonds

There is a decided stir in eastern
business circles over the Cuban ques-
ton. The opinion is almost general
that the United States has waited at
the Threshold of that house of blood
long enough, and that it is now in or
der to step over the doorsill. Latest
adviCes from that island secured by
reliable agents for the information of
the president and the Senate indicate
that matters are ripe for Intervention.
Cuba has been making Roadway more
steadily and effectively than the ad
vices given the press indicate, while
the armies of Spain are depressed, de-
cimated, actually accomplishing moth
ing only the unnecessary ruin of that
fruitful island. The condition of
Americans in that country and that Of
the pacificos call loudly for some hand
of relief to be extended. Congress is
in earnest at last and there is in sight
some prospects that recognition in
some form or it's equivalent will not
be much longer delayed. The country
will approve of any measures that will
relieve and at the same time do justice
to the brave people.

TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

There is such an utter disregard alike
of the proprieties and of the wishes
of the people, in the actions of the
present State Legislature, particularly
in the lower House, that it calls in no
dulcet tones for the most forCible re-
buke. From even a party standpoint
the course of this Legislature is mex
cusable, and its acts have received the
most open and persistent reputation
by the governor. Judged from high
er standpoint of common regard for
the interests of the state, a decent con-
ception of the good name of Texas,
some smattering of concern for the pub
lie welfare, judged by these the pres
ent Legislature presents pitifuL spec
tacle. Its sessions show an aggrega-
ton of men whom it would be rank
fiattery to call commonplace. Its
proceedings are without order, cOnsis-
tency courtesy, consideration for each
other or the will of the people. Bick-
erings and open quarrels, petty conten-
tions that would disgrace a charity
school in the slums and persistent at
tempt to prevent under any Circum-
the majority, are the daily pictures
presented in it's proceedings. The
merits of a measure, or the pledges of
the party that sent these men to rep
resent them at Austin, have no percep-
tibIe effect upon the usual course of
obstruction and parliamentary delay,
unless it has been that the more neces-
sary the measure the more determined
has beeen the opposition to allowing
any expression of the will of the House
upon it. A pestiferous minority has
seen fit from the commencement of the
session to thwart any and every at
tempt to secure legislation on the real
ly important matters that arise. Fail
ing in this the resort has been to every
known subterfuge to tie the hands of
scented, vitiate the provisions by artful
changes until they are acceptable to
none, worry the House into action ad-
verse to it's declared intentions, bully
where it cannot cheat, until the whole
actions of the body are in themselves
Bills originating in the
Senate have thus been doCtored in the
House until they were a discredit to
their authors and in this shape passed
to be a by-word and a subject of flu
ture contempt. Appropriation bills
that do not affect the per diem and
mileage of these cOntortiOnists, no mat
ter how necessary the funds for prop
erly equipping and carrying on the
state institutions, are treated in the
same way and there is no sign of i'm
provement. There has been nothing
like it seen in the history of the state
for incompetency, cussedness, PERM
ciousness and pure righteousness and
it is to be hoped there never will be
again.

There is no doubt that the leVee sys-
tenn will have to be modified in some
form, that is supplemented by both
reservoir and outlet systems, but the
leyee will be an eternal necessity in
the valley of the Mississippi. The r.
rigation Age talks of storing the sur
plus water and feeding it to the Missis-
sippi current in times of low water.
Let some hydraulic engineer compute
the volume of water that has flowed
down the Mississippi, outside Of that
which would flow within the banks,
for the past sixty days and figure out
how much natural basin it would take
to hold the surplus. There is not a
basin large enough along the whole
course of the stream nor a dozen of
them that could be relied on for this
surplus without additional outlets and
also good strong levees. All of these
systems in combination with dredging
will be resorted to in time. There is
not going to be any failure in accom-
plishing the salvation OF. that valley.
