THE I~LLITERACY BILL.

The illitcragy bill has passed the two
houses. II ~ now up to the governor to
say whether Texas shall step TO the
front as the most progressive state in
the Union, or whether we shall remain
as we were, a perennial sufferer from the
infection of the illitcrate voter.
The Herald does not mean to say that
illiteracy is essentially a sin; though
any evil thai is durable and remains
uncured through the fault Of the man
afflicted with it is a sin. and is TO be CON
demned by all good people. To he af
tlicted with consumption, scrofula, or
blindness would not be 4 sin; but if Il
cure were offered for such ailments on
sufficiently easy terms, and if the euro
were wilfully refused, the refusal would
be a sin.
1t is not cOntcnded that the illitcratc
voters are the only undesirable voters;
yet they are one large class Of voters
who are a source Of many evils in the
politics Of our country. The iiliterate
man is too easily the victim and tool Of
another class of undesirable citizens.
In eliminating him we get rid Of one
set Of evils, while we disarm a large
class Of evil who desire to thrive BY the
ignorance Of their neighbors.
The legislature has placed before us
a great opportunity to pat 4 premium
upon education. and also upon American
citizenship. If the right to vote il
worth anything it is worth the trouble
Of learning to read and write the Eng
lish language to an extent that Will en-
able a voter TO prepare his ballot. III il
is not worth that no harm il done to the
man who is deprived Of it.
The position Of the governor on this
matter is not known. But now is the
time TO get busy. Besiege him with let
tcrs; lombard him with kilograms. DO
ii now for it is only a little while until
the legislature adiourns. It may be
that he would lie glad TO hear from the
people on this matter.

A TIMELY APPEAL.

AsSuredly Texas has suffered some
what from the frost which came down
upon us the other night. Early fruit
and early garden stuff have been dam
aged in various places, and the damage
stated in the aggregate will run well up
into the thousands,
Yet The telegraph which tells thc
story Of our own losses brings us news
OF calamiticS in other states compared
to which our own losses seem to be
tritlcS. Also at The same time the wires
bring to rs the announcement Of the ap-
peal Of the governor 70 Us for aid to the
people who are suffering from the an
palling results Of those disasters.
Since the destruction of Galveston no
other flood story has reached the Amer
lean peOp' sontaining 50 many elements
Of horror. ar = many facts that appeal
TO our compassion and our h%cnevolencc.
In the stao Of Ohio. from the Indiana
line. to tn ennsylyania line. or from
the great lakes TO the Ohio river. ruin
holds sway. MI Of its rivers, great and
small, are filed u OVERLOOKING. ITS
greater cities BY the dozen, and its
smaller towns IN the hundred. are laid
waste with the floods.
The conditions i'm Indiana are almost
as bad.
In both states, many thousands If nco-
pie have neither food, fire or shelter. Tn
both states famine and peStilencc are
imminent. The decaying bodies of tens
of thousands of dead animals must soon
begin to tester under the spring sun.
The public health il greatly endangered
from thcm-and from other conditions
which are inseparable from floods. In
fact the items which set forth the needs
of those stricken folk, could not be stated
i'll one edition of The Herald. The call
for help should be answered speedily. SO
speedily, that money sent for that pur-
pose should he wired 10 those authorized
to receive contributions. The governors
appeal is most timely.
