It is amusing to listen to tin-
opinion* of people generally on
Mr. Cleveland. He has had mor»
l>itter enemies and more blind un-
reasoning followers than any mai
who ever filled the high office of
president. These friends aud these
enemies have made it almost im
possible for anyone to treat him
impartially. If anyone agreed
with him at once a chorus of ene-
mies would cry out "cuckoo." If
one dared to criticise any of his
actions the chorus on the other
I side would shriek out ''personal
attack," "sorehead," "disap-
pointed ofticeseeker."
The truth lies between the two
extremes. Mr. Cleveland i* not s<
! weak or so bad a man as his op
ponents would make him, neitlu i
is he so strong or great a man as
his worshipers claiui.
Some of tlieni compare him to
| Andrew Jackson. But this is an
j unhappy comparison. General
J ickson had a will of his own.
like Cleveland is credited with
[ having. But he was not a sullen,
sulky man. He was a successful
man. Mr. Cleveland is not a sue
cessful maa. General Jackson
was a thorough partisan. Mr.
Cleveland despises his party if lie
has one. General Jackson set out
to make his administration thor-
oughly and partisanly democratic.
Mr. Cleveland started out domin-
ated and permeated by the theories
of a few New York millionaires
known as mugwumps and pro-
ceeded upon the idea that the men
who elected him were :Ls corrupt
as the New York politicians.
General Jackson stood by his
friends, no matter what came.
Mr. Cleveland attempted to show
his independence by ignoring aud
snubbing the men who stood by
him closest.
Mr. Cleveland, however, is ;i
man of unflinching honesty and
has the reputation of courage
though the last election seems to
have taken all the defiance out of
him. H« is a man who would do
what was best for tlie masses could
he U'lieve it was the best, thougl
he would not give up his own judg-
ment to all the combined ability
and experience of the nation.
He goes upon the theory that
the people do not know what is
l>cst for them.
But his greatest mistake was in
believing he could reform abuses
in the government without the aid
of his party.
He did not hesitate to snub
such men as Hendricks because
they were party men. He thought
he could appoint a republican to
the l>est office in New York and
still make the New York demo-
crats vote tor him.
He believed that congressmen,
tli > only federal officials elected by
a direct vote of the people were
not entitled to any respect from
hi in.
A lifetime democrat and one
who has stood by him most of the
time says:
Meanwhile the acknowledged
• tli.-ial head of the party, oui
leader in spite of ourselves, Mr
Cleveland, has conducted us int<
the middle of a morass and left us
to llounder out as best we may
No well informed man will say
that the president has l>een all to
blame and no just man will aecus«
him of bad faith. *
Mr. Cleveland set out upon tin
national highway with the one idea
that tlie government of the United
States was as corrupt as the statf
of New York, and that nothing
was needed to purify it but the
mugwump panacea of civil service
reform. He was going to admin-
ister his office upon lines laid in
heaven. To this end he chose a>
head of his cabinet a most charm
ing and accomplished man: but

man, had passed his life in a

her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the <lrac<
problem'; cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of tin
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
i.aws.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
literal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
ugninst misfortune, but give tin
family a guarantee against waste
fill extravagance and bad manage-
im nt on the part of thehusband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
'•Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
iriven in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.

ned or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art
stitution reads:
wages for personal
ever be subject to
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bamlry. All tojpls, apparatus and
books iK-longing to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services.
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
Current wages for personal ser-
vices.''
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and Ix'ggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
