FROM THE FAR WEST.
Interesting Letter From our Texas
Correspondent.

Correspondent.
Editor UNION TIMES: What do
you think about wealth and prosperity
corrupting peoplef If it ia fact that
they do, it is sad commentary upon
the human race. I myselfthink it quite
possible as rule, but be it said to the
honor of many exceptions that it is
not always the rule. Touching upon
this thought, / reproduce a paragraph
taken from the Dallas county Grand
Jury report to the District Court on
January 6, 1901:
"We regret to say that, in our iudg-
ment, crime is on the increase ia Dali
las county instead of the contrary.
This, We think, is partly due to the
more prosperous times, more people
having more money to spend on evil
inclinatious than is usual and giving
more temptations to others to be
possessed of the treasures that they
seesso careIessly displayed"
Whether the grand jurors are cor.
rect in their conclusions or not, it re-
mains fact that the possession Of
money is means to that eud, if men
are prone to indulge in evil habits.
In that case money becomes a curse
rather than n blessing. Many people
dssire and sigh for the possession of
the thing that they consider the
panacea of all ills, when in fact, money
causes as many ills as it cures. Get
ting money has reached the stage in
American life where 1t is failing
instead of q virtue. People are going
mad for money, they are wearing
themselves out for it, they forget their
own kindred and friends for it. 1t
has come to pass in America that the
"dollar is placed above the man."
The teachers and pupils of the
schools of New York city sent on
January 8, 1901, for the relief of the
school children Of Galveston, the nice
sum of S27, ,907 as a gift of sympathy
for their sad misfortunes, caused by
the Cyclone of last September.
Speaking Of school children reminds
one of the fact that Texas has largs >
number of children who receive the
benefits of the school fund. The
