BRAVE WORDS BRAVELY SPOKEN.
The reply of Attorney General Car-
mody of New York to Mrs. Longstreet
relative to her offer to raise the money
embezzled by Gen. Daniel E. Sickles
is one of the bravest utterances and
strongest pleas for the majesty of the
law given voice In this country in
many years. It is as follows: i
"Your sympathetic and patriotic ex-
pressions do Justice to your heart but
they do violence to the facts in this
case. General Sickles is being prose
cuted by the State of New York for J
converting to his own use the sum or
$23476. This money came into his
hands as chairman of the State Mon-
ument Commission to be used among
how erroneous have been your views
how misplaced your sympathy and
how misdirected your criticism."
GOVERNOR COLQUITT'S DREAM.
In hlB recent message to -the Legis-
lature on educational matters Gov
ernor Colquitt indulged the following
dream on what he terms an ideal
university:
"It I had the planning and making
of a university I would have a campus
of ample acreage and on that campus
I would erect buildings more magnifi-
cent and commodious than those we
now have in this State and I ould
fcall these buildings the 'Agricultural
and Mechanical College. And on the
same campus I would build magnifi-
cent structures more commodious and
complete than all the State normal
schools we now have and call them
the 'Normal College.' Then there
should be erected an art and industry
building many times more commodious
than the college we now have and
that I would call the 'College of Arts
and Industry' which the arts and In-
dustries for men and women would be
taught. Then I would build a substan-
tial structure and call It the 'Law Col-
lege' and another magnificent build-
ing far mor' complete and capacious
than any we have and call It the 'Med-
ical College.' In the center of the
campus 1 would build a magnificent
main building of Texas granite large
enough to afford accommodation not
only for the present but for the future
generations and I would call the
whole the University of Texas. The
students attending any of these col-
leges could then get the advantage of
a' course In any or all of them; the
advantages of all of them would be
nnen to students attending any one of
them. Some may say this is a dream;
if so it is one that should have been
now a realization and is yet possible.
The combined strength and usefulness
of such a university would be felt all
over the world. Heie in such a uni-
versity I would teach letters arts
science' agriculture mechanics en
gineering architecture and everything

country and to provide for a celebra-
tion upon the field of Gettysburg in
which those living might participate
at the State's expense In a fitting man-
ner. General Sickles appropriated this
amount to his own use. This he has
not attempted to justify or to defend
admitting that he took the State's
money for private use without author-
ity of law an act which under our
laws and under the laws of all civil-
ized governments means stealing. He
was given his own time to repay this
amount and that time was extended
at bis suggestion without any desire
to embarrass him and with the full
apreciatlon of the claim which he has
upon this Nation for the great services
he rendered in the rebellion. These
services can not be overestimated lut

be used as a cloak or protection for

persecution and to elevate as a martyr
a person who confesses his derelic-

heroes and feels humiliated at the
spectacle which this case presents.

FARM TERRACING.
A New Feature in Improved Agricul
ture for Brazos County.
Farm Demonstrator A. W. Buchanan
Informs The Eagle that he in com-
pany with Professor Pierce of the A.
and M. College went out this week
and terraced the farms of Mr. J. P.
Gilpin Mr. J. W. Henderson and Mr.
Jim Tobias all of the Kurten com-
munity. This Is the first scientific ter-
racing that has ever been done in the
county so far as The Eagle has been
Informed; but we are sure that If It
had been adopted and practiced ny

our farmers wnen mey nr8i eeureu
the county that the uplands of the
county would have been worth many
thousands of dollars more than they
are now. We doubt if it would not
run Into a million or millions. While
the lands of our county are not so
hilly as they are In some sections yet
the land is of such a nature that the
soil is easily and rapidly washed away.
The men who first settled our lands
thought the straighter and longer they
could get their rows and the steeper
the hill they could get them to run up
and down the better farmers they
were. Thev actually prided themselves
with their long straight rows running
directly up and down every hill on i
their farms until after a few years the
appearance of clay on those hillsides
proved to them their system was not
correct j
The sons of these men thought to
profit by the error of their fathers" and :
either changed the rows straight;
across the hillsides or moved to new
fields altogether. ' While this method
proved somewhat better than the first
yet theirnethod has caused the hill-
sides to wash full of ditches and small
gullies. And still it keeps raining and .
the lands keep washing away and the
farmers are waking up to the fact if
they save the fertility and usefulness
of their soils they must adopt a better
plan of taking cpre of and controlling
the water that falls on their fields.
The only plan left is the sensible
scientific terrace and inasmuch ns
the Government is furnfshing this
work without cort to the farmers. The
Rnele feels sure that many will mane
use of the opportunity of getting their
lands fixed so they can make them
better as the years go by. Any time
Professor Pierce is not busy in other .
sections of the State he will accom-1
pany Mr. Ruchanan to any part of the '
county and fix any farm whose owner
desires the work done. Anybody de-1
siring such work will notify Mr. Buch-1
