"Politic"" enid Dr. Johnson "is

tho wretched mnl nJminiBtrntlon
to which one half of this conntry is
Babjectod lends a potential forco to
the phillipiu of the English sngo.
It is no uncommon spectacles to
witness tho constabulary staff of
any city or town upon torms of tho
most cordial fellowship with cvory
Claude Duvall and unblushing gn Ul-
ster befouling its limits. Tho
morohant who abandons tho troas-
. urea ot his store-houso and the
banker who surrenders his vaults
to tho wardor of tho night may
well tremble when his casual gaze
detects tho trustee of their dollars
junketing daily with n character
whose only indomnity from tho
prison or the gallows lios in the
paralizing fact that tho very mo-
rion t a capias is placed in one hand
for his arrest a "ticket of leave" is
placed in the other for his oscapo.
. The record bf both Federal and
Stato legislation for tho last ten
years is a blazonry of miserable
craft indecent cunning and unadul-
terated fraud. Great public
requirements have been over-
slaughed by an unscrupulous zeal-
otry and a frantio monopoly for
- self. The nation's demands havo
been subordinated to that of tho in
dividual and the hallowed fervor
of a Clay or tho glorious passion of
a Webster is consumed in tho do-
structivo and degrading madness
for "stars and gartors" ono man
power petty dominion and a wolf-
ish instinct for tho lion's share
Nor doos tho peril and tho infamy

what should be tho throne of tem-
poral justice tho august minister

- Such is the startling picture pre-
sented to tho consideration of tho
American .peoplo to-day. And if
wo would porpetuate the froedom
of our institutions if we would
preserve tho costly gem. of its hon-
or if we would continue civil and
political liberty we must awaken
to a loftier sense of the worth and
. necessity of moral excellence and
. purity and cease to tolerate vice
nnd immorality in public life and

Till Houston & Great North or n
Railroad is completed to Tylor
Smith county and that place is now
in railroad and telegraphic comma
nication with the outside world
The Reporter says : "The last nail
was driven in the iron rails at our
city depot by Col. Stephen Reaves
the oldost inhabitant of Tylor on
'Monday the 31st day of March."
- The Reporter- adds : "The track-
layers made no halt here but are
now putting down iron at the rate
of one-halt to three-quarters of a
milo per day and tho construction
train runs through the city rcgu
larly with rails ties Ac We are
told that no pause will be made at
least nntil tho road is completed to
its junction with the Texas & Pacific
road. The first station abovo this
city will be near Col. Hubbard's
some fourteen miles northwest."
s Cpt. J. W. Lank Secretary of
the Senate sends us a printed ccpy
of tho bill to establish a system of
puWic free schools in tjjj Stato of
Texas presented by Senator iabo
ny of Lamar the bill is very
lengthy comprising some thirty-
seven sections and as it will no
doubt nndorgo a good many chan
gct.beforeit becomes alawif it does
at all we cannot give it space in
onr columns. In glancing over it
however we are surprised to see
one feature which we thought had
received so much con demnation in
the old law as to prevent its being
embodied in any new one. We al-
ludo to compulsory attendance at
school either free or private at
least four months in each year. The
bill will doubtless cause s great
deal of ) discussion and we hope
and believe that it will not pass
ii its present form.

Dubino the disoussion in the Texts
House of Representatives of the appropri-

GUIs said he could not recommend the
payment of the polioe either for their past
or future ecrvieea. His acquaintance with
them waa rather limited na they had only
made three (rips to his aeotion. The first
was to rob Col. Gathinga of three thousand
dellnrs ; the second to oversee an election
for which they charged the county four
teen hundred dollars ; the third to murder
one of ouroilizeni Jack Mitchell. They
went to hia house at the dead hour of
night and hailed him in the name of Ih
sheriff and when Mr. Mitchell appears
at the door bo was shot down by them
wilhout any provocation. For these rea
sons Mr. Kombie would oppose any appro
priation.
Thk foot that Gen. Gordon of Georgia

army Vice-President Wilson having
called John B. Gordon the new Senator
from Georgia to the chair during hia tern

The results of Intemperance are
apparent every day and hour to
the young men or our towns ana
cities warning them to beware the
serpents trail; yet how fow heed
that warning how few exhibit tho
manly conrngo to stand up and call
themselves mek masters of that
will that should control thoir lives
into paths of virtuo usefulness nhd
honor.
It is surpassingly strnngo how
heedlessly a great number of our
young men aro living. Why it is
that so many are launching out on
the ocean of lifo so recklessly is a
problem we aro unable to solve
What aro they looking ohcad to?
To a bloated form glaring eyes
and a drnnkord's grave? " What
olto can they expect? As surely
as tho days como and go suoh will
bo their reward saying nothing of
thoir future existence. ;'
rJEvery young man should possoss
that manly pride and dignity that
would enable him to say: ''For tho
sako of those who reared mo and
that I may honor tho one whom I
expect to mako lifo hPPy fr moi
I will walk erect as a man and not
as a slave to tho evils of tho wine
cup." Evory young man should
reason with himself bringing to
mind that he is made in theimagoof
his Creator He who was tempted
and yiolded not and that ho was
placed here for a higerand nobler
purposo than pandering to the vico-
es of intemperance. A great many
votincr mon seem to entertain the
idea that if they should abstain from
visiting the halls of revolry
Where ain stalks about with doves' eyes
Carrying a dagger under her wing
and should live a sober and
steady-going lifo that they would
bo called dull and that the world
would look upon them us lucking
tho energy that a spirited man
should exhibit. Courage young
man I tb'ere is no bettor show of a
woll balanced and true mind than
to seo a man firmly resisting the
temptations that assail him at al
most every corner and which are
lending so many astray Stop and
think j think -earnestly and think
soberly. -What are you gaining by
living a life of intomperanco? You
are losing financially.; If you are
not now ten chances to one but you
will. You are losing morally for
no man can live an intemperate lifo
and not corrupt his morals; and you
aro losing spiritually' for if you
live this life rolling in interapcr
ance you cannot expect an onher
itance in that world of etornnl bliss
"where the spirits of just men are
made perfect." Then for humam
ty's sake and for the sake of good
socioty leave off having anything
to do with tho vile serpent In
temperance that thoso who shall
come after you may sayour fathers
wero truly sober men and wcVi!!
follow in their footsteps. '

made at the last session of Congress we
Subjoin for general information the fol
lowing from I lie. nasiiiiigiou t.nronioiei
We are not at all sorry lo find aa we
have done by inquiring at I lie Pottoflice
Department that ihe proposition lo reduce
letter postage together with other olintiges
In postal matter propoaed by Ihe House
cninmiltee.failed in the Senate. Believing
Dial the change proposed was not called
for and Hist it would very materially di-
minish the resources of the Postollioo De-
partment at a time when it Is incurlng
large expenditures to facilitate the profhpt
distribution and transmission of mail
matter on postal cars and to improve the
service generally we took occasion to dis-
sent from the recommendntieusof the com-
mittee nt the time they were made.
Our belief as then expressed was and
is still that lu view of tht much higher
prices paid for mail transportation in this
country the wide diffusion of mail facili-
ties over a torrltory eo much greater than
I lint of England which has been our mod-
el wo have reduod the rates of postage lo
Ibe lojest point attainable without involv-
ing the necessity of large appropriations
by Congress Tbreecont postage h:re
considei lug the servico rendered ia quite
aa cheap as penny postage in England.
It has been the aim and desire of Con-
gress aad ihe Department to bring tho lat-
ter to a self sueluining condition. This
will be ultimately dono if wo are nol com-
pelled to pay too heavily for railroad ser-
vice. The postal oar system has very
Inrgf ly. increaaed the burdens of Ihe D-
partmenl hut it has wonderfully facilitat-
ed distribution and celerity ol transmis
sion especially at slationit on the great
thoroughfares. Tho clerical force requir-
ed for this service is largo and oxpeusive
and oouMant'y increasing as postul cars
are multiplied. The roads exact increas
ed pny at an alarming rate.
At. such a lime t Ii ere lore ne cannot
wisely attempt a further reduotiou of let
Icr postage. Tlirco cents for carry ing a
letter from Boston to San Francisco Low
er California or Oregon is a pretty small
figure i el having onco established
uniform rate wo caunot get the consent of
the Pacific Slates to pay more for a letter
than is charged lor oarrying it II vo miles
The provisions requiring the payment
of newspaper postsga. also failed. This
failure included Iho proposed obauge in
rates oujduily papers which will as here
tofore conlinuo to pay thirty cents quar
terly weekly papers nvo coots
Tnore was attached lo the postal appro
prinlion bill the following clause:
Providtd. That all laws and parts of
laws permitting the transmission by mail
of any free mailer whatever bs nud the
same aro hereby repealed from nnd after
June lit) lXiJ.
This Sweeping olauso cuts off free ex
changes and also the distribution of week
ly papers freo in ihe counties where print
ed subscribers to suoh weeklies will
therefoie after June 80 have to pay post
age on their papors and editors will be
charged with postage on all the exchanges
they receive.

Tha world has had a great Interest for a

but any paper can bt Imitated and wt
eould hardly proteot prlvalt persona is wt
protect Iht bank hy making it a high
penal offense to Imilito or to posteis lhair
pnper. It la difficult lo imagine paper
which could not bt Imitated u ft leal It Wei's
of a snbalanoo proenrablt only by a fetr
persons; or eolored with a dyt the ttoret
of which had been carefully preserved;
and no auch paper or dyo it yet before the
world.
The Marwarreea of India uto a pnper
for their acceptances whioh is very In
genlotis hut which would scarcely hnfllle
European skill. It Is a very fine silver-
tiieut paper almost without weight and
Ita specially ia this: No one can write on
II Mtrwarree fashion without Marwarret
ink any other kind wetting the line paper
almost to a pulp. No skill can overcome
thia diHieully without Ihe ink but in Eng-
land tho experts would diloovrr the aeoret
of the Ink In an hour and the ftlarwarrco
method of holding tho paper nnd pel ill a
day and in a weejt produce a "hondee"
or bill of exolfajige that would paea a
muster everywhere except with ihe accept-
ing firm. Tho pnper of Ihe Bank of Ben-
gal loo is very good in lhat it ia entirely
beyond imitation except by very Dial-rale
engravers possessed of tools aa perfect na
Iho-e of tho ageiila employed by the bank
ileelf. The pnper only looke cloudy but
nnder a alronc glass is fo ind lo be cov
ered with lines of microeeopio charnotoia
which could not be produced by hand or
wilhout machinery eaunl to that employ
ed or wo imagine without a very peculiar
uk an ink that will not run.
All these means are within the range of
forcers liko these now at work men with
brains money and tht dispoiilion to use
both for fraud and no futther improve-
ment appears practicable. They use ci-
pher drafta in aomo countries which oan
not be read'exeept with tho key but they
aro useless against men whose art ia not
to interpret but to oopy exactly the
only protection they Would afford would
be lhat the forger not knowing Ihe figures
must reproduce lome bill exaoiiy as ne
witild not know Ihe sign which varied
them. But then neither would Ihe ordi
nary customer. Any signature oan bo im
itated and no substitute for a signature
understood by Ihe discounting world has
been devised. Stamps and aeata are as
easily forged ns signatures or more easi
ly and so are waler-marxe wnen tna re-
ward is large enough for the machinery.
There may be a remedy in acience but aa
yet it is quite invisible.
