The regular annual meeilug of the

Tbs legislature meets Jan. 13, not
Jan. 8, as tbe type pat it last week.
It seems tbe big dailies are migbty
slow to tackle the convict prob-
lem.
This has been a lonesome week to
Texas editors. Very few . of tbe
country weeklies were issued Christ-
mas.
The punishment oiconvicts should
be absolutely certain in order to de-
ter others from crime; the chances
of escape are reduced to tbe mini-
mum in mining camps.
The Cleveland administration fed
the Indians and kept them in a good
humor. Harrison’s thieving agents
starved them to desperation, and
they prefer death by the bullet than
by hunger and cold. It is hardly t6
be doubted that the present cruel
war upon the poor devils js the log-
ical sequence of fraud, hypoeircy and
robbery by the agencies.
MOSES AS A REAL ESTATE MAN.
Financial disturbances invariably
bring harvests of fires, failures and
burglaries, and the recent flurry in
monetary affairs found no exception
to the rnle. Dana & Co. note a
loi'gly increased ratio of business
disasters, while the fire record and
lh? calendar of crime trench upon
the coffers of the underwriters and
weaken confidence
proof” safes.
Ifaj. Mose Hurley and his neigh-
bors turned out and put a good part
of the Evergreen road in first class
condition. It is said that th6 aver-
age Tekan will think he is on a turn-
pike when travelling thqt way. The
Major killed one of bis famous bronze
turkeys, and gave all hands a feast
and a jolly good time. This is the
way to get good roads—it heats any
and all sorts of road laws.
Wht don’t the Texas press take
up the fight for a law to require all
legal sales to be advertised in the
papers? The charge that such- a law
is solely to the interest of newspa-
pers is too silly to he expressed hy
any one but a fool, and too mean to
be entertained by any one except the
interested knave. The law is needed
to protect minors and unfortuuate
(Far tl>S Embihr.)
The Moses referred to was tbe
author of the Biblical history of cre-
ation.
Whether inspired or uninspired we
do not know. This much we do
know, inspired he was a great man ;
uninspired he was greater. Accord-
ing to authentic history he was the
first law-giver as weli as the first
historian. He was a great general
and an able attorney. While he was
minute as a historian, great as a gen-
eral and excellent in the criminal
law, we are obliged to wonder afc his
wisdom and ability in his legislation
and practice in real property. The
municipal laws of all nations are and
should be peculiarly adapted to their
wante and necessities wliiph are de-
manded by the progress they may
have made in the articles of com-
merce, refinement, moral and relig-
ious culture. These laws a* e gener-
ally originated, enacted and approv-
ed by the Solons of the laud as the
nation expands its power, develops
its resources and advances in com-
merce, literature and rejigiop. Such
was not the origidflfcor of the “Mosaic
laws.” They were written in antici-.
pation of tbe government, for a land
at that time unknown to the author,
and for a people who at that time
in “burglar ignorant of their capacity to govern
or to be governed. All other law-
givers have had able counsel to ap
prove or disapprove their enact-
ments. Moses was solely responsi-
ble for the laws which were to be
the rules of action for the future na-
tion. His mind must have been like
a retqrt or crucible to so refjne his
thoughts as he committed them to
writing. If we admire the pandects
of Justinian which were compiled in
the golden age of Rome and by a
multitude of counselors, or the com-
mon law that hardly kept pace with
the English people,, having been of-
ten suppressed by military rule, shall
we not be amazed at the Mosaic law?
It has ever been one of the great de
mauds of all commercial and civiliz-
ed nations that their lands should
