The demand of tbe union carpon

may bo adjusted in a few days.
The House committee on Judi

Hon. Oscar H. Cooper State Su

tbe Texas editors during their con-

Subject will be tho public school sys-

further perfection in its endeavors to
enlist tbo public press in tbe great
work. Much good is expected to
come of this.
While at Sao Antonio the other
day we saw some fair streets and
roads which we were told were made
of gratel. The ground however
was rolled with a Meatu roller gravel

and the roller again bronght into use.
Even then however we were told
the Furfaco would wear into ruU.au J
Lad to Lcvo frith applications of
gravel and the roller occasionally to

main of our former opinion that
bere where we have plenty of clone
a rock foundation fiaisheJ with a
coat of gravel would be altogether
preferable. Even then the rolltr
could be tutf-d tn great aJraLtage.

tbe new feudalism which is to be
crushed only by the intelligent an
educated people can rightly doal with
tbe domands of socialism on one

With Mexico he is greatly pleased

It is not with the expectation of stop

that prohibition is attempted. It is
to save those who have not yet form

It aims to surround the vice with
such difficulties and odium that there
will bo fewer recruits made for the

Did vou soe much of the new

Some of the new South and a
rrnmt deal of the old South. It is
thera still. The old stock look on
the colored mau as a sort of animal
destitute of moral sem.es aud rospou-
sibiiity who like Fnnkeiitine be-
comes for that reasou dangerous in
prouortion to his liberty nud oppor
tunities. They seem to think that
thuir uronertv will be wipod out or
confiscated their Homes oroaeu anu
r.
socially destroyed if the colored
man's votes aro counted and they
look upon Northern republicans as a
species of anarchists who will cheer-
fully co-operate in their destruction.
Nine-tenths of democrats in the South
seem to be imbued with such ideas.
The new South has a different spirit.
It believes in mines and mills and
corner lots. It believes in attracting
enterprise and capital. But the old
South is a long way down the mill
eoitnn of political regeneration. The
remedy is not plain but it certainly
does not lie in Federal liglslation."
