what business is it of Bill Jones T -Houston

If John Smith is in the employ of Dill
JoDes for the performance of spsoiQo

SAIL WAT DEBT.
"The dominant American railway policy'
observes a recent writer "is the accumula-
tion of indebtedness to the utmost limit
without setting any bounds to borrowing
or providing means for payment." In
many case- object of new railroad en-
terprise .snot so much providing trans-
portation as to borrow money aud fill the
pockets of the projectors who as soon
as their purposes are attained drop their
roads into insolvency and the hands of a
reoeivtr. ' It has been shown that out of
3000 railway companies 1400 of which
are extinct only fifty have established
sinking funds for the final absorption of
their debt. This goes to establish the
truth of the recent dtclaration on the floor
of the United States senate that "a railroad
company is tot incorporated for the pur-
pose of paying its debts. That is not
one of the obj ots of its creation."
The practical rffeot of this reckless
policy is that since 1A75 over 400 Anieti
oau railroad companies operating 3r000
miles of road have been dic!ared inpolv
ent and a resdjtiHtmeut under foreclosure
applied to capital stock aggregating in
excess of two billions of dollars or much
larger than the national debt Hat If.
With few things is the public mind lcs
familiar than with tho prodigious ohnrac
ter of the railway debt of the United
States which in 1B8G amounted to
14877000000 or far exceeding the high
est limits reached by the national wer
debt. This was over $70 to every man
oman aud child in the country. About
half a billion of railway bonded ludebt
edneas matures within the next teu years
and over two billions in tho first quarter
of the next century.
In 1880 the interest on this vast nccn
mutation of debt which must eventually
come out of the pockets of the people in
the way of freights and paasengtr rates
amounted to $187000000 whioh is bIho
oharge on the industries and wealth of the
ooutitry. In twelve years this interest
paid will equal the prinoipal. This bur-
den on the resources of the people Is not
diminiahing but increasing. The ques
tion is are the people to be perpetually
saddled with this drainage of their money?
Can this state of things be remedied?
It can but only through government
power and interference. Railway com
panics should be forced to provide and
maintain sinking funds for the extinction
of their indebtedness and as security to
the people that their shoulders shall not
be forever- weighed down by a burden
so colossal.
UN1FOHM TKXT HOOKS.
The question of adopting a system of
uniform text books in onr publio schools
is ottraeting the attention of paronts
teachers and school trnstoes the want of
which is a patent evil not the least of
which is the expense of buying a new set
of books with each ohango of teacher or
change of residenoe of tho pupil. The
question is thus referred to by Superin-
tendent Cooper in his report:
"In many schools good teaohing is a
physical impoHsibility on account of the
variety of text books whioh parents desire
aud trustees allow to be used. The re-
moval of this dillioulty requires nothing
more than legislative sanction of the in
structions to trustees given by this olllee.
"To secure pornianouoy in tho books onoe
adopted It is nootssary to prescribe that
no book ahull be changed oftenir say
than five years. This rule has been found
practicable aud is in operation iu many
stater.
"Tho burden imposed on many commu
nities which change books with each
teacher and on parents whose residence
is not permanent of buying new book
for each change ef teacher or residenoe
cannot be removed by any method short
of a state adoption. State adoption might
also give lower prioes than wo have in
many places at present. There seems
also to bo no fundamental educational
reason why. all the ungraded sohools
might not be required to follow the same
series of books."
A U CID INTERVAL.
The Globe Democrat in Wednesday's
issue speaking of ballot reform makes
the following admission:
Still it is undeniable that larje aims
of money were employed by both par-
ties in unlawful aud demoralizing
ways to defeat the will of the
people. There Is no particular inter
est or profit iu an inquiry as to whioh
party went the further in this direction.
Both were sinners because both found
that the scheme of voting in vogue made
frauds on the ballot easy to accomplish
and difficult to deteot and pnnish.
It is matter of surprise that so rabid a
journal as the G.-D. did not content itself
ith laying all the corruption in the late
eleotion at the door of the demo-
crats or wholly npon the
whits people of the sonth. For onoe the
St. Louis organ has a paroxysm of old
fashioned honesty and momentarily ceas
ing to spit its venom npon the
southern people admits the plain
truth. This is that "large sums
of money" were expended by the republi-
cans in the eleotion. It is true the U.-D.
oharges like corruption upon the demo-
crats and aooording to all accounts it is
true to some extent with northern states.
Our skirts here are dear of the bartericg
and selling of votes which in the eyes of
nnprejudioed foreigners male the eleo
tion of Harrison almost as much of a
farce as that of Diaz in Mexioo. .
It ia useless to deny the Globe-Demo.
orat a allegation of corruption againtt
both parties in northern states on the
6th of Kove last. We also quite
is not now
-v ..ton bat one in which
the good men of ' both partiis
are equally interested because the princi-
I In involved lies at the very foundation of
liberty and popular government in this
country. We are willing to join with the
G.-D. in advocating the adoption of any
plan that will secure a free untrammelled
nnbought expression of tbe poptilnr wilt
at the ballot boi.
Whether a ballot made absolutely secret
m contemplated by the -G.-D. or the Aus-t-alian
method as suggested by the same
jonrncl would answer tbe purpose is a
matter for argument. In the meantime it is
matter of congratulation that movements
are already on foot in the legislature of
several states looking to b illot reform.
The corruption of the ballot is now one
of tho most serious dangers threatening
the stability of American institutions. It
should be denounced by all honest citi-
zens whether it appears in the demo
cratic or the republican party.
THE ZA.IUAK 8L.AVE THAUE.
Some of the older readers of Tuk
State-man who formerly rsived corn cot-
ton und cugar by slave labor will be in
terested in the foroign dispatcher this
morning giving an account of slavery iu
Zanzibar ou the east coast of Africa. It
seems the English East Afrioa company
now colonizing that coast have been in
the habit of hiring slaves from Ariib
dealers assurtiug that no other iort
of labor could be depended upon. An
agreement exists with the Arab f-lave
owners to pay them the wages and under
the agreement even English missionary
stations have been obliged to deliver up
runaway slaves that took refuge sanotuary
refuge so to speak. The secretary of the
English East African oompany it is true
has douied the statement concerning the
oompany 's agents in Zanzibar but it has
a semblance of truth about it.
There is no doubt an attempt is being
made to sandwioh negro slavery into the
Anglo-Saxon colonization of east Africa
now in its infaucy just as was done in the
original settlement of the north Atlantic
ooast of America two oenturies ago. The
result on this oontinent oost a million of
lives and thousands of millions of treasure.
Nor oonld we wiah to see the possibility
of such hu experience entailed npon the
futnre oivilization just starting on the
Dark continent.
THE EXECUTION IN PAKIS.
Even the cruelty and the terrors of the
Fronoh guillotine have about them the
refinement that in everything distin
gnishes the people of that country. Frado
the chief notor in the horriblo drama
stoioally indifferent assumed the role
rather of the hero of a terrible romance
than the miserable ftlou that he waf
The description of tho eoene in the dis-
pn to lies thiB morning brings np memories
of the great and tragic events in French
history in whioh the guillotine as on
yesterday played a prominent part. The
proceedings on tho sou (Told at Paris
yesterday the trembling abbe tbe
doomed man suddenly soized by the exe-
cutioners and thrown on the fatal platform

ing light the rolling of Prado's head in
the shavings carry us baok to ths days
of Robespiere nnd Dumoulius. There
was more real horror connected with
Prndo's decapitation than was ever de-
picted on the stage iu the closing soene
of Mary Queen of Scots when the curtain
falls on the fated sovereign of Scotland
ps her neok is about to bo laid on the
block.
But snoh executions as that of yester
da; must doubtless make women mar
dcrors source in Paris.
Orit NATIONAL GUARD.
There seems a growing seutiment all
ovor the conntry in favor not only of
building a new and formidable navy bat
to inorease strengthen and modernize the
military feature of the central govern
ment. Like other governments ours is
not entiroly exempt from the possibilities
of foreign wars which may at
any time be precipitnted but ele-
ments of domestio danger exist here
as In all other countries that may
yet require the moral effect of military
power to prevent. Indeed in pursuance
of publio opinion the militia of the vari
ous states stimulated by the general gov-
ernment is gradually being assimilated
aud made uniform with the regular army
both as regards arms uniforms and tac-
tion. As it is now the militia of the coun-
try" which according to the report
last July of the adjutant-general
of the United States army amounted to
over one hundred thousand men includ-
ing one hundred and twenty-five troops of
oavalry forms a vast reserve force a na-
tional guard homogeneous with the regu-
lar army and that might be relied upon
in oase of emergency. The national
guard should be fostered aided and en-
oouraged drilled and armed as near as
may be like the regular army.
COMMISSIONER HALL'S REPORT.
The annual report of Commissioner
Hall of the general land office which was
published in full in yesterday morning's
Statesman is one of the most interesting
and important official report) given to the
people of Texas for many years. It deals
with the land question in a comprehensive
and exhaustive manner and oontains
many valuable suggestions touching an
intelligent solution of ths land problem
not the least important of whioh is the
recommendation that the University land
be placed nnder the control of the Uni
versity regents. Upon the subject of
Und titlra tbe commissioner says:
"Litigation in mora than one judicial
distriot has so resnlted as to cast a doubt
jpon the validity of a large majority of
tbe sales of land made by the state land
board under tbe act of April 12 1883.
"It is now a Bimple act of justice that
these purchasers who acting ia good
faith have complied with the law as far as
permitted should have their titles con-
firmed and all doubts ard uncertainties
removed. The morel relations of the
state to these purchasers whose lands
have been declared forfeited is another
subject for serious consideration in view
of the fact that the ttate never gave thtm
a title." .
A law requiring the body of punted
election tickets to conform to the beading
would be a step in the right direction to-
wards purifying the bbllot and preventing
some of the frauds that are practiced
UDon voters at every election. A voter
goes to the poll on eleotion day and is
handed a ticket headed "demccratio" or
"repnbii; an" as the case may be and be-
ing a party man wants to vote his party's
ticket; all the names on the ticket are his
party friends with perhaps one excep-
tion that exception being a candidate on
the opposition who has caused his name
to be placed there for the purpose of de-
ceiving the voters in order to receive
votes which he otherwise could not have
obtained. Suoh a law would in no way
be an abridgement of the right of suf-
frage for it would not prevent the voter
from using any narce he desired
and writing other names instead nor
wonld it prevent candidates from having
printed a goneral ticket or a mixed ticket
but it would stop the fraudulent practice
bo oommon at all elections where candi-
dates have tickets printed and headed for
the purpose of catching votes by deceiv-
ing the voter who in most cases looks
only at the heading supposes it to be a
straight party ticket and deposits it in
the ballot box.
Gbbmant is taking a big dish in Zanzi-
bar just at present. This indicates the
German polioy of colonization and con-
quest is to be pursued in Africa as well as
Ooeanioa. It is a policy that not only
affords the extension of German com-
merce but may in time cause the empire
now ruled by William II. to grow into a
great naval power and rival England.
We hope there will be a large delega-
tion of representative farmers and busi-
ness mon from Travis county in attend-
ance npon the road convention to assem-
ble at Dallas on Saturday the 5th of Jan-
uary. The meeting is for the purpose of
considering aud di; cussing needed amend-
ments and changes if our present road

At llopedalo O. Christmas night an-
other Whitecap outrage was perpetroted.
It might be well for the republicans of
Ohio to cease talking about southern out-
rages while they themselves are boldly
run over by the most infamous associa-
tion of sneaks that at present exists.
An educational qualification for the
privilego of exercising the right of suf-
frage is a practioM disfranchisement of
the illiterate and we believe would be de-
clared unconstitutional.
Tho Tenure of Office.
The tenure of all appointive offices iu
the federal government was originally
"during oud behavior" which included
faithful and ucoeptuble service. During
l'residuut Monroe's administration an act
was passed fixiug the terms of postmas-
ters appointed by the president and sen-
ate of revenue officers United States
distriot attorneys and certain other
officials nt four years.
The ostensible reason for this enact-
ment was to secure stated and f reqnent
periods of settlorreut with the more im-
portant publio servant. The real reason
ia said to have been the desire of Wiiliam
H. Crawford tho seoretary of the treasury
to bring the ollioes within the control of
the appointipg power without subjecting
the president to the odium of making re-
movals for party reasons.
But whatever the reason neither Presi-
dent Monroe ror his successor John
Quincy Adams availed himself of - the
opportunity of seizing and d stribuiiug
the offices as spoils. With very few ex
cup ions every official was reappointed!
upon tho expiration of his term by both
these presidents nniess there was a t;ood
cause for a change usido from politics. In
this they followed the rule of all the
earlier presidents who treated the office
as publio agencies not as personal per-
quisites or party spoils.
The power to remove oflloials before
the expiration of their terms is still vested
in the president and senate. But its ex-
ercise for partisan reasons is a gross
abuse of the executive power whether
indulged in by democrats or re-
publicans. President Arthur did
very little of this "clean
sweeping." President Cleveland has com
monly thongh with many inconsistent ex
ceptions waited for the expiration of
terms before making changes. Public
sentiment sustains so muoh of the reform
principle as demands that there shall be
no removals without cause. New York
