Texas Restores Its Credit.

Texas voters have adopted an amend ment to the State Constitution which validates school district bonds aInount- Ing to more than $3.000.0oo. which the Supreme Court had declared to be H. legal The bonds had been bought in good faith and the proceeds had been used. In all three amendments were adopted. Besides the one mentioned another makes lawful the practice of organizing school districts and talk ing iu territory in more than one coun- ty, which means that more of such districts will be organized and havo bonds for sale. The third will permit towns of 5000 or more inhabitants to organize under special charters, 1o.e0o now being the minimum limit. The adoption of this provision means that towns of 6,00o to 10000 may now rec ceive legislative authority to issue larger amounts of bonds than was per- missible under the general law, in or- der that necessary public improve ments may be made.

Wehtny Men's Susptctone. "Ths Light Side of Finance" In The
 Strand.
 Wealthy men. if mot. guilty of trick- cry, are often abnormally suspicious of tricks. The celebrated author, the late Charles Reade. was one of this kind. He always imagined he was be- ing robbed and set traps to catch the thieves. When he became lessee of the old Queens Theatre he suspected that his ticket office cheated him by letting in the public for anything they could get and keeping the money. So Reade turned up the collar of hts overcoat, pulled his hat down over his eyes. and. shuffiing up to the box of flee as the people were going In. he showed half a crown into the box of- flee keepers hand and whispered:
 Its all right-thats for you'll don't want a ticket. Just pass me through"
 The clerk ran out, seized Reade by his coat collar. and was passing him roughly into the street when he rec ognized his chief

 Many causes could be assigned for the universal prevalence of graft. But one of them Is the indifference of many citizens to the management Of public affaIrs. Private affairs are be- ing watched very closely, but public affairs are intrusted. very often, to In competent men. No one seems to care for how public money Is spent. whose business Is that2
 In regard to public expenditures many citizens act like the passenger on the sinking ship. He was calmly enjoying a pipe on deck. when some one came rushing up. to him and an-
