l r will he seen that Visc county has met
with a very serious loss in the burning of
us court-house, together with most of the
court records, cattlo-hnuid records and
other documents and papers of paramount
importance and value. Such a conllagra
tion will necessarily cause much confusion
and inconvenience, and we can conceive ol
no punishment too severe for tho criminal
who is responsible for tho act, as there
seems (o bo no doubt of it being a piece
of incendiarism.
Attkntio.n is directed to an article in
this issue from tho pen of an experienced
farmer in this county ami entitled "Honds
Again." Tho views and sentiments (herein
expressed are representative of the general
feeling. This question of county roads,
like that of "st reet improvement, is growing
to he more and more the subject
of thought with progressive people with city
Vride, and tho day is not far distant when
both w ill be hail for Dallas.
Tiik Vlica Herald strikes the right chord.
It says truly that "the United States is tho
only civilized country in the world which
indulges in raw diplomacy. It is the only
country where diplomatic positions are
used merely as the rewards of partisan ser
vice." After some of (his "raw material''
lias made two or three blunders some day
calculated (o plunge us into war or cost us
millions of money, the policy of a perma
nent or tried diplomatic corps will be seen
without much argument. The men who
come to us as representatives of tho Kuro
poan powers are men who have been in such
service for a Hfo-time, while (hose whom we
generally send abroad to inamigo our great
international relations, arc, in a majority
ofcases unknown, unread and only re
commended by some such act as buying up
a convention for tho appointing power,
writing ciever pieces ot poetry, making a
neat after-dinner speech or an intimate ac
quaintance with one of the I'rosident's
confidential advisers. Some of our lfep
reseutatives arc positively disgraceful to
the nation.
The Texas Journal of Conunerco lias
changed its form and general make-up from
the 4-pagc, or lolio, to tho 8-page quarto,
Its proprietorship is also'changed by the
admission of Mr. John W. Thompson, a
native of San Antonio and an old practical
printer of tho very best class, as well as
former editor and proprietor of other Jour
nals of no inconsiderable public influence
in the portions of Texas where published.
This is one of the best journals of Its kind
published in the country, and became of Its
unswerving devotion to Texns, to all lis In
dustrios and resources, It is deserving (he
patronage of every well-wisher of tho Allure
of our State. Tho Journal of Commerce
was started some six years ago in
Galveston by one ol llm present
proprietors of this paper, the limui.n, (he
Texas New Yorker, under Colonel Geo. H.
Sweet, one of (ho purest men and truest
patriots in the guild, merging Into it three
years ago last May, lie then assuming the
exclusive proprietorship. From its birth,
the Journal of Commerce has been run as
n Independent, outspoken, liberal Journal,
and bus been a paying Investment to the
present hour. May the proposition that
Viopo conceives, begot by merit, fail not in
the promised largeness of prosperity and
admit no pn.be u divert the current that
flows to full success.
KENT OB NO KENT.
For some time past we have waUhed with
great interest the dillVrent phases assumed
by the land troubles in Ireland and Kng
lund, but it has been simply as an interested,
yet otherwise unaffected spectator, (iener
ally the sentiment and sympathy of
America have gone with the poor tenant in
his struggle against landlordism and its
attending evils, and generous have been the
contributions on this side of the water to
the cause. l!ut these things have stopped
here, and our own institutions have not
been affected thereby. We arc. fortunately,
too happily situated in the 1'iiiteil States
to render possible or noccs.-nry
' this juncture such agita
tion us has rendered lately tireat 'Ilritniii a
cauldron of political discontent and proves
likely (o remuiii as u thorn in the govern
ment's side for sonic time to come. How
ever, revolution and supposed reform are
ever contagious, and there will always be
found restless unil ambitious characters who
would if possible pull down without thought
or warning, any, even the most sacred of
the fabrics of society. We will most un
questionably remain fire, for many years
perhaps, from such vexing and Weighty
questions, but there is a philosophical
principle of great social importance in
volved in the manifesto of the Irish Land
i i .
i.i:nguc, unil some nay or other the flame
struggle now taking place on liritish soil
will have to be fought over within our own
borders. Y o havo just slated that our ma
terial interests or possessions, nor the pence
of society hud been affected hy the troubles
of tho Irish tenantry, but they have at last
produced one practical result, and it may be
i i
ioiieeu, i iiiisen me nring oi the openinggun
in a serious battle. On Saturday last the
Central organization of the Tinted Trade
and J.ahor Unions of New York, Itrooklyn
and Jersey City had a meeting, as may be
seen from our telegraphic reports, and
adopted, unanimously and unqualifiedly,
tho principles of the celebrated "No
Cent Manifesto," and declared that
land was a gift from tho Creator to the
creature, free to all and not subject to the
proprietorship of any. A resolution so
sweeping in its contemplated reforms and
adopted without qualification by so large
and important an organization demands
more than a passing notice. The discus
sion or such a question in America at this
t ime, is not so much us to its right or sound-
ness, us to Its jwiscnt appropriateness or
expediency. It is gratifying to witness the
ellbrts of the advanced thinkers of the day
towards the amelioration of the condition
of t he poor and tho growing disposition to
throw olf all restraint upon tho freedom
and rights of man whether impound
by government, monopolist, cap
italist, landlord, employer or
persons in authority, is but one of the rami
fications of this comprehensive movement.
Tho common ownership of the land, the
denial of the right of landlords to rent, is
a part ami parcel of the siunn general phi
losophy. Hut the trouble here is just such
us is met in all great subjects of popular
agitation, thu reformer will go too far, re
formation too otten becomes revolution, and
all sutler, Law in America, emanating as
it does trom the man governed, is too uni
formly equitable, und justice too generally
anmintstereii upon correct principles to
justify either the use of force or violent
opposition in inaugurating a relonn or
combatting an error. Civilization and en
lightenment aro matters of slow growth,
of gradual perfection, and de-
... i i ., ... .
iiiauii in ineir uinercni stages or in
the adoption of their various articles of
social I'uith, tho most attentive, thorough
and prolonged consideration. This organi
zation, known as tho Land' League,; has
scattered its doctrines and established lis
branches overall of tho United States, and
eventually important results may be ex
pected, and various modifications adopted
in (lie land system ol this country. Nor arc
wo prrpurcd to deny the abstract right of
its controlling principles. Hut before a ro
forni is instituted all laws in conllict must
be changed, and expediency demands the
proper experiments ', before tho law is
changed. It will not do to remodel society,
or attempt so to do, by manifestoes merely.
Nothing but "confusion worse confounded"
ever resulted from such a course, and
wo would certainly regret to see any
attempt of tho kind made hero. If this
government would only stop its policy of
lilttermgaway ourinagnilieent domain and
as an experiment, resolve with the new
philosophers, Land-leaguers and more en
lightened Socialists, that such properly
was tho common estate of nil, and could
not be sold ; or more properly, that no fee
siniplo title could ever bo created therein,
an experiment might be made more pro
ductive in Us conclusions of good logic (ban
all the arguments of the times. Hut these
experiments must always be mado within
legal limits and through legal forms, and
then . it is always possible to reach
tho correct reform or remedy
the real evil. Tho great trouble
wo apprehend in the coming agitation, or
attempted cngraftmcnt into the political or
social organism in this country of such a
a principal as "free-land," and no individ
ual proprietorship or ownership, will be
that disposition in Its advocates to use force.
It is alleged by oiki of the leaders of this
school of thought that, "as 'all land titles
rust hut on force, no complaint "can bo
urged when force annuls It," This will
never do as a policy or means of adjusting
rights, and under our form of government,
bonollccnt and mild, where no crying
abuses exist and all classes seem to have
so clear an idea of Justice and such faith
in the luw, and we may truth
fully say, too, suuh regard for order, would
provoke a storm ol opposition that would
engulph Its disciples in litter ruin. The ad
vice under tho circumstances and in view of
the overwhelming significance and Impor
tance of the now social and political ques
tions attracting attention from nil correct
thinking men ought to bo, to whntevor fol
lowing any peculiar or contemplated re
form may have, to proceed with extreme
caution and depend upon the growing rea
son of men to see its truth and necessity,
and their Ingenuity and sense of
Juslico to Incorporate it into their in
stitutions ' without outraging some
other, strong artlclo of public faith.
Whether this New York organization of
the United Trade ami Labor Unions at Its
THE DALLAS HER ALU TUESAY MORXIXG. XOrEMBEIl
meeting on Saturday lust, acted represent)!
tiv?!y of all others of its kind, or simply
expressed the sense ot its own body, we
arc inclined to fancy that the action was
somewhat hastily tuken, and doubtless in
the spirit that we havo, been deprecating.
It is proper to discuss, but a declaration of
faith ought only to be based upon some
charucter of experience, und reform cannot
be accomplished by infringing or refusing
to obey any existing law. A resolution is
often meaningless, but a manifesto is a seri
ous mutter generally.
Kl'ALLY UNFAIR,
The Chicago Inter-Ocean with its u-mal
disposition to rush recklessly at anybody,
or thing that docs not happen to suit iis
hasty uml prejudiced glances, in a recent
number reads Sir. Scoville a ledum on his
muiuicr of conducting thu defense, of the
iissassi.i, his brother-in-law. We have in
ull seriousness never known any journal of
respectable standing in this country to as
sume so absurd and vulnerable position us
does the paper in question in the article re
ferred to. Any school-boy who has reached
his teens and given the Constitution and
i'ecliiration of Independence the universal
first reading would laugh at the man who
told him that in this country a prisoner
hail no right to ,0 l,filni t,ilirr
by Himself or counsel, and heard, too, at
length on any legitimate question alfecting
his defense. Is it possiblo that it is neces
sary in this day to take issue with any re
putable authority on so plain a provision?
And is it possible that any journal would
quest ion the wisdom of such a provision?
Incredible as it may seem, both these
questions, with tho Inter-Ocean's editorial
before us, must bo answered in tho affirma
tive. "One feature of the policy of the
defense in tho (luiteuu case becomes more
prominent with each day's proceedings,"
Says the I.-O. "Sir. Scoville has settled
down with grim determination to the
work of convincing the public that
tho assassin of (larlield Is insane. With
out making any appeal for sympathy
he has utrcudy enlisted the svmputhv on
his own behalf of those who nro present ut
the trial. He bus surprised the people, won
the confidence of tho jury, captured tliR re
porters of the press. His relationship to
the assassin adds to tho effectiveness of his
plea. The very fact that he appears with
his wife in court in the performance of
un avowedly painful duly, influences the
public in his tuvor. Men who hute (iuitcau
are unconsciously drifting toward u point
where they may harbor a secret
hope that Scoville will succeed."
What would the Inter-Ocean, or
any other paper or any sensible

i , , r
actor of attorney for a prisoner on trial for
Ins life, ami the brother, too, of his wife, hail
not "settled down with erini determination
to the work of ennviiiciiiL'" the pulilie. ami
the jury particularly that his client was in
sane and therefore not responsible? Ho
would simply have been rated as a greater
fool than his elient. The fact is, Mr. .Sco
ville has "surprised the people," ami has
been uot only coiitliietiiiR bis ease with pro
fessional ability and winning reputation
for himself, but bis entire connection with
the ease has been dignilied and gentle
inatily.aiul eminently proper in every sense.
To object to conduct or a record such as this
is the must extraordinary view that was ever
taken of a case in court, and can be ex
plained on no other hypothesis than rank
and narrow-minded prejudice. Mr. Sco
ville is charged with adroit ellbrts to im
pose upon anil intlueiico his Jury for the
purpose of securing an acquittal. Well, of
course, this is criminal in an attorney. Jle
should of course, plead guilty. Ho "should
indignantly repel any insinuation that bo
had any desire to or intention of securing
an acquittal of his client, ninl he should
pocket bis client's fee and uso extra efforts
to have him bung. Hut the inconsistency
of the editorial is glaringly apparent when
A-e reflect that it is an effort to inflame tho
public against the prisoner, and an effort
too by a party having no connection with
thecase and occupying a position where
only calm and dispassionate views aro
proper or permissible. If it is not right for
an attorney to avail himself of the forms of I
law in a dignilled and able manner in the
defense of a criminal, there is no necessity
for law. In short, the Infer Ocean is advo
cating the mob law it has so often depre
cated, Hut the truly choice morsel in this
production is the following, after expla
nation of Mr. Scoville's methods : "Shall
be be allowed to do this without question
or criticism ? Shall bis admirable conduct,
his dignified earnestnoss, his courteFy
and forbearance, blind the people to
the fact that he is adroitly using (iuiteau's
eccentricities and idiosyncrasies to inlln
once public sentiment ? To go further, is it
not possiblo that the peoplo are being
played upon by a lawyer, who, "with a
lawyer's shrewdness, takes every occasion
to provoko Irritable, absurd and incon
gruous remarks from Ids client." It is
extremely fortunato that there ore "forms
of law" In this country and our most
incxcusablo is that tho weakest and most
pitiable wretch, bo ho ever so guilty, is as
sured of a fair ond impartial trial. If it
were not for this it might ho well to let tho
Inter-Ocean tako Ouiteau ami run him
through its monitor press two or three
limns. If the ponderous brain or tho editor
didn't do tho work for him tho press would,
ami tho heart of tho Inter-Ocean would be
glad.
