Time for Them to Give Texas a Rest

Time for Them TO Give Texas Rest.
Texas needs rest, and 1t will
show its appreciation Of those who
crafty it, The politician most apt
to commend himself to the people is
the one who best practices the virtue
Of silence and equitude. There will
be eXpedience as we'll as wisdom in
saving wood, Texas has been ham
pered and harassed enough-eyen
too much. The men whose energies
develop the resources Of state, and
thus ameliorate the condition of the
people, have been discouraged as
much by agitation as by perform
ance. 1t is as much the fear of to-
morrow as the dissatisfaction with
conditions of today that deters men
whose genius and passion it is to
build up. In some manner men of
enterprise can adjust themselves to
the existing condition, even though
it be a condition come Of folly and
injustice; bu the threat of some
thing different tomorrow frightens
the stoutest.
Texas has a sufflciency Of laws.
No possible subject of legislation
has been neglected. Our statesmen
have shown, If not at all times wis.
dom, at least industry, such indus
try as has reared pyramids OF stat
utes eclipsing in height, If not in
breadth, those 1t took the Egyptians
centuries to erect. II they have en-
ergies left inpatient for exercise, let
them be spent in reviewing what has
been done, rather than in deysing
new concets. The hasty work is
nearly always crude, and in its eff
feet somewhat wide OF the marx.
Not even the wisest statesman shoots
always straight, and it is no reproach
that lawmaker miss his mark. The
reproach comes, rather, when, t.
spirit of enmity or bigotry, he reGus-
es to examine critically today what
he did yesterday, and when he re-
pels all suggestions Of amendment as
If proposed from sinister motive.
In Texas there is a big task of this
kind. We have been pilinS up law
upon law, accommodating such an IN
finite variety aud mass OF statutes,
that no man can know them, nCr, II
he could know them, reconcile their
contradictions. The time is oppor-
tune for denomination and revision
for wedding out, for a process OF
pruning, That being so, there is no
reason why our politicians should be-
come eruptive for a long time. A
long spell of quiescence, an impas-
sive period, that the men who buirl
up may have a chance to exercise
their energies and ambitions, will
exceedingly become the politicians
and will receive, as it will deserve,
the grateful recognition Of the PEG.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Rumors of White House Activity Send
 Prices Down.

New York, Jan 29 9~-No effective ob- stacles were interposed to prevent the downward drift of prices of stocks to- day which was made on a much dimin- ished volume of business from that which has been the rule for many days past. The pressure to sell showed no signs of urgency, but the benevolent control which has been apparent since the present week opened was with drawn, leaving the market to it's own tendencies. The supporting measures have been attributed to the large bank ing and capital interests, the supposed motive being to protect the market from an undue effect from some of the recent developments that have been dreaded. The passing of several of these incidents may have accounted for the abandonment of protective meas ures in the market to-day The appear ance of the T. S. Steel corporation s quarterly report, with its emphatic testimony to the heavy contraction in the business of the corporation follow ing the financial crisis. wis the latest of those incidents. The tenor of the report however had been so clearly forecasted, both in the figures of the quarters net earnings and in the ton mage of orders on hand, that no mark ed change of sentiment was caused by the reading of the report Greater interest attached to the current condi- tions in the iron steel trade. of which no hint was offered in the U. s. Steel report. The heaviness of II. s. Steel led to the downward turn in prices In the opinion of operators on the floor of the stock exchange the dom inant influence in the depression was the reports of renewed measures against the power of corporations in contemplation at Washington. Very def mite rumors were in circuation re- garding the contents of special messag- es from the president to congress said to be intended for an carly day, and bearing on a new employers liability law, enlarged privilege against discrim- ination for Union labor and drastic re- strictions on speculative operations in lue lll1l htlS ullueT lHe gUlSe OI dnIl- gambling regulations There was a perceptibe check to-day in the down ward course of money rates in the time oan department and the reaction in foreign exchange was the response to this condition New offerings of rail road notes and the temupting interest rates still borne by these issues are diverting some sums away from the i time money market A reduction in copper at the New York metal ex- change was an incident of the day Covering by bears late in the day de- veloped a continued supply of stocks and the sagging tendency gave way tc more pronounced weakness at the clos. ins.
