whnt II Doesn't Determine.

iSa NTduBe JOuCnal.
The Houston Post, one OF the best demo.
cratic papers in the State has for some
uiine been trying to get an expression from
the galveston News as to who 1T is sup
poruing for congress In the Tenth district.
lhs effort has always failed, though the
laci mas at last come out ami with 1t sew
eral other facts.
The News offers $40 to him who rames
Inc winner and glesses The nearest TO his
vote, each man being allowed 10 guess as
often as he wishes. The News gives as its
motive for doing this the desire ito feel
the pulse OF the people ahead OF lac cleo
ton"
We acknowledge that we have been hum
plugged and bamboozled in our life and we
may be victjmlzed again. but this great
paper can not, by its cunning mac hinat ons,
deceive us OF its true purposes In Mon-
udy edition 1t says that The first vote
from La Grange was for lIawley with a
guess OF 1877. Now. any man of sound
sense knows that the sender of this guess
IL totally unacquatrted with the vote OF
THIS district. Has 1t published the vote
OF any one in Galveston guessing Robinson
Us the winner? Every person is allowed
70 guess as many times as ne pleases. Now
that Us feeling the pulse of the people In
great shape! Then again, any one out OF
the district is permitted to vote as much
as he pleases. And the reason for
all this, ITO feel the pulse OF the people!"
We must agree with the cornfield phi
iosopher that We like prevaricator, but
the News suits us too we'll Why doesn't
the News admit that IL Is done TO Impress
the people with the idea that Hawley is
the more popular candidate and that in
stead OF being a praiseworthy desire 10
ascertain the viii OF the people 1t is an art
ful attempt to make money to get SUBJ
scribers. The Tenth district voters are
not fools and can see through the game
easily II then the motive expressed by
the News must be thus seriously ques-
TONED, then We must also doubt the News
truthfulness in recording the true vote as
the coupons are sent in. The whole mat
ter In a nutshell Is. the coupon business /,

old Lady determine nothing at ALL

now Of the Marbiehcad. was punished fer
brutal treatment Of his men, and there arc
numerous instances OF oppression known
that have operated strongly TO keep the
better class Of free born Americans from
enlistin8 In the ravy.
The etthoritics have often wondered why
II was 50 difficult to recruit our crews
from The better native element. They have
declared that the pay was fair, the food
excellent and plentiful and the service no
more onerous than In other navies, II, In
deed. as much 60. Ard yet they find COM
paratively few establishments and have
great tiouble In keeping the crews up to
tho required strength. The public are not
SO much surprised at this condition OF at
fairs az the naval authorities appear to be-.
Tho press has acquainted tho people from
time to time with the existence Of one OF
the chief obstacles TO freer enlistment OF
the desirable sort--the presence OF too
many little tyrtants on the ships.
OF course, rigid discipline Is necessary
ON warships. but that discipline is secured
through specific regulations in most In
stances. Just now the department is pre-
pairing to ask for authority to add about
5000 men to tho regular navy. These men
will be more easily obtainel II the depart
ment will give an illustration. possibly In
this New Orleans case, Of its purpose to
punish any mlstreatment OF the common
seamen by the officers as promptly and as
severely as infractions OF the regulations
by the sailors nre punished.

THE roRnEss LAND TITLE LAW.

II is cause for satisfaction In other States
law relating to registration aud certificates
of land titles, has lust been held sound
and constitutional by the supreme court OF
that State. The law as first adopted
seemed to confer judicial power upon the
registrar and was held invalid for that
reason.
This law Is an attempt. and successful
one. to simplify abstracts OF title and. In
deed, TO simplify and quiet titles and is
modelled after the Australian system. The
Torrens law governs the transfer OF prop
erty by certificates and does away with
the bulky and often Unsatisfactory alb
stracts. The owner of piece OF property
when he wants to sell goes to the regis
trar. The books will show, under a com
plance with the requirements OF the stat
ute. at glance who has the title and what
incusnbrances are outstanding. A certifi-
cato Is issued by tho official examiner to
the owner and this is used In place of an
abstract. If not contested within five years
It becomes an absolute munlmant of
title.
The law expedites trades and stimulates
real estate activity These certificates OF
title arc transferable Just as certificates
OF stock in railroads or other property arc
transferable.
During the short time the first statute
OF the kind WAS in operation In Illinois II
gave great satisfaction and was recognized
TO be decided reform In thu right d.
reclion II tho present statute accom-
plishes what Is anticipated from Il we may
expect to see other States enact similar
