SATURDAY FEBRUARY 10 1883.
Now that defalcations have become com-
mon persons who crave notoriety will have to
steal Texas mules to get their names in the
papers.
Local newspapers have contained num-
erous advertisements for lost dogs lately. A
mean man writes to the Light that a sausage
manufactory has been established in the
suburbs.
“The Government that punishes men”
says thejGalveston News “ought not to tempt
men to become criminals.” The News is
right. If our public officers are worth being
paid at ill they are worth being paid well.
One reason why our Legislators are as a rule
not representative men is that few really good
men can afford to sacrifice their interests by
serving for $5 a day. .
In New York residents of Fifth avenue
are paying $3 a piece for hot house peaches
and 25 cents for each of the 12 little straw-
berries offered for sale in wicker baskets
while in the less inviting quarters of the city
families are suffering for want of the neces-
saries of life. New York is a field which
might profitably be cultivated by mission-
aries.
The Bellville Standard thinks that nothing
but the ballot will satisfy the promoters of
the prohibition movement that they are in a
hopeless minority and agrees with the Light
that if the bill prohibiting the importation of
deadly weapons should become a law the
bully and desperado would ignore its pro-
visions and make victims of persons it had
made incapable of self-defense.
The ancient Greeks were less brutal than
we. Among them no punishment was
designated for the murder of a parent for such
a crime was not supposed to have been com-
mitted since Orestes killed Clytemnestra. In
the United States last year six sons killed
their fathers and four children their mothers.
All the deeds were committed by ignorant
persons. Proper educational influences might
have prevented them.
At A recent party in New York a handsome
waiter was discovered flirting with a lady who
supposed him to be some guest to whom she
had been introduced. Consequently white
neckties for evening dress have been
abandoned in New York society. The attire
of servants is much Joo similar to that of
persons of higher stations and some means
should be adopted to prevent e mbarassment
and confusion such as must have ensued when
the lady mentioned learned her error.
By Comparing English and American
prices any one can readily see that the tariff
does not necessarily affect the cost of manu-
factures in the United States. England is
now paying 5 cents a yard for American cot-
ton goods which can be purchased in any city
in this country for 4% cents. In the sorts of
cotton goods we export our home prices must
be considerably less than the foreign or we
would not ship $13000000 worth of them
annually. True in hosiery our prices are
slightly higher than the foreign but the dif-
ference is not at all in proportion to the
amount of the duty charged while woolen
goods and indeed nearly all other manufac-
tured articles are as cheap here as anywhere
and in some cases much cheaper.
Advices from Washington indicate that
there is no probability of securing the passage
of the Mexican pension bill this session.
Though the amount of each pension proposed
is small—but $8 a month—there are 14000
veterans interested in the measure and when
one considers that something near a million
and a half dollars will be requited annually to
meet the obligations to be incurred it assumes
national importance. It has been before
Congress some time now and further delay in
detinitely disposing of it will be the cause of
not a little displeasure.
Two men Messrs. Cunningham and Ellis
bid $20000 per annum to lease the Texas
.penetentiaries fora term of. 15 years. The
bid was accepted and a Legislative commit-
tee is considering the advisability of approv-
ing the acceptance. The report should be un-
favorable. Since the" bid was made Colonel
Nathen Patten a well-known citizen has
offered to pay double the amount and all
statements as to the subject are in proof of
the assertion that the transaction was of a
vuasi private character. The disproportiona-
bleness of Messrs. Cunningham and Ellis’ pro-
position to the benefits to be conferred on the
lessees leaves no doubt that the manifest duty
of the State by its officers is to advertise for
new bids or accept the offer of Colonel Patten.
Speculative interest attaches to the ques-
tion from which quarter will burst the storm
which seems imminent in France. The
bourgeoise and the peasantry are appre-
hensive that the army never intensely Repub-
lican will produce some turbulent spirit
ambitious of a military dictatorship while the
Administration in whose nerveless hands have
slackened the reins of Government fear an
uprising of Socialists and Communists. The
magnet about which the war clouds are con-
centrating is apparently the bill providing for
the expatriation of the princes of royal blood.
In the Chamber the Bonapartist and the
Orleanist factions have strenuously oppos»d
the Republican leaders who prepared and
submitted it but the more Conservative
Deputies on whose action its fate depends
have not yet signified the course they will
pursue.
Engineers of party machinery are now to
be found in the drawing rooms at receptions
at banquets. Years -ago promises of votes
were secured by making personal visits to cit-
izens but of late more attention is.paid to
party leaders than to the individual members
of parties. The cause of all this is the cen-
tralization of party power in the hands of
comparatively a few men. It is they who de-
cide who shall hold office. Consequently
stump-speaking is to be relegated to the in-
tensely rural “deestricts” and political
machinery manipulated amid the pop of cham-
pagne the sparkle of diamonds sweet scents
lovely faces costly attire—the brilliancy and
entrancing delights of exclusive society. It
therefore follows that the power of woman as
a political factor will greatly increase. Already
she has made her presence felt and it is be-
lieved much of the prominence of Congress-
man Morrison of Illinois and of Ex-Senator
McDonald as prospective Democratic can-
didates for the Presidency is attributable to
their wives who though not yielding in any
of their womanly traits of character have
gained a reputation of being as shrewd politi-
cians as their husbands. A similar statement
may be made as to Black Jack Logan the
leading statesman in the race for the Repub-
lican nomination whose wife’s ability as an
organizer of political movements in which he
is concerned has long been a subject of news-
paper comment.
And now comes the report that Senator
David Davis is to be married. The young
lady who proposes to unite her fortunes with
his hails from Fayetteville North Carolina.
No reason for her rash act is assigned. Can
it be possible that the Illinois statesman has
inspired her with love or is she* determined to
sip the sweets of matrimony with him simply
because she will become known as the con-
sort of the man most capable of adding weight
to the affairs of the Nation ? The questions
remain unanswered but it is believed that the
breadth of Senator Davis' tender sentiments
has had due effect. Senator Davis is a great
man; of that there can be no doubt. If states-
manlike qualities were indicated by personal
beauty Ben Butler would yank the prize for
statesmanship but if they were allied
with avoirdupois he wouldn’t stand
any chance beside David Davis. Hith-
erto Senator Davis has made; most of his
reputation by straddling. Straddling it may
be mentioned is a curious exercise patended
by Senator Davis whose rights have been in-
fringed upon by several Congressmen includ-
ing members from Texas. It consists of
riding a bill so that’no one can tell whether the
rider is opposed to it or in favor of it. When
Senator Davis rode one it was generally
crushed. Hence the acquisition of the art of
being a masher which has led the Fayetteville
young lady to throw herself on his fifty-inch
bosom.
