also reports an enlargomeat of its cor
porata limits. The News s'ngs Its song

Tuk Kerr.lllo Eye says that tho
corn pluming in Korr county is about
over and the farmers aro waiting for the
rains to insure a good erop. It speaks
- of sheep shearing as about oommenolng
tt4ndicatos a very hopoful disposi'
tion on' the part of farmers and borders,
Auovk the editorial desk or the II kk
ald hangs a piutureol Mil. C'lkvk'.and,
surrounded by his seven cabinet of

'was for the electicn and selection of
these eight gentlemen that the Demo
cracy strlppod for tho light and won its
glorious victory in November last.
Thb Waco Day roports tho city alive
on tho quostion of tho posttnasterahlp,

. .of Hon. It. Q. Miils, who has boon vls
dtlng Belton with a vlow to fooling tho
popular pulso on the suiijoct and is
about to visit Waco on the saino initi
ation. Califobnia has gone Into the hotel
business. Her legislature has passed a
bill appropriating J4,0 ,0 to build a hotel

California must have more money than
she knows what to do with, or this lit of

Tub Marshall Herald takes this paper
to lask for saying, let Hussla and Eng
land fight they are no kin. It statos
that a son of Qukiin Victoiiia, the
Duke of Kdluburgh, nurrlud tho sister
of the Czar of Ru.sia. The 1Ii:iiai.d
did not refer to those two porsons, but
suppose they tight, they aro only kin by
marriage.

Tub Marshall Herald Is not hard to
please. It says It is rertnetly allnfled
with ritusiiiKNT Ci.kvki.an'h action
thus far in tho appointment of Demo

THE REACH 'OF THEINEW BROOM.
It is baroly possible that our now ad
ministration may attempt too much in
tho way of reform. , Tho country Is pre
pared to stand a great' deal of improve
ment around tho government dopait
nients, and the clerical gentry, who
have hail such an easy time for the pii.H
twenty years, can stand a vast increaso
in honest labor, ovir tlio amount they
havo heretofore been giving tho goyorn.
niont In exchange for handHOiiio sala
ries. Ilul the administration is not
organised for the benefit of the board
ing houses and retail shops in Wash
ington, aud losos its dignity and over
steps the bounds of propriety when it
proposes to degenerate into an agent
fortliocolleotlonlof debts duo from tho
department employes.
A man ought to pay his debts. If he
has the iiimms ami does not pay his
honest debts ho is not au honest mini.
but his employer, especially when thai
employer is the government, has no
ill.t t assume control oyer bis private
slViiis aud nay when he Is prep.iri d and
when lie Is not to dhclmrgo
his obligations. So tho man
doe.s his ollico work prop
eilythngovoriime.it ht.s nothing to do
but pay htm fir II. When ho fulls In
the duties or his position, till his place
with a competent or bettor man. If the
government undertakes to nianngo the
prlvato affairs of all Its employs, mat
ters It has no earthly control over, It is
not only assigning tyrannical powers,
but piling more labors than even this
"business a.lmlulst ration" Is likely to
dispose of. There Is government work
enough iu tlio ilep xrtui'mts to keen I lie
chiefs of division tuny without luaklmr

jWmt permanent oltlien, gr ma to j
raise a family, would a'-cept such
land as a gift il he is
compelled to live upon it. Ho has ad
joining hiin a neighbor w ho may havo
leased '.W.OOO acres, because that neigh
bor happens to have monoy. He him
self may have the means to pay I'm-a
home of two or more sections, but his
government will not allow him tho priv
ilege. This is not a happy contempla
tion for thai individual, or calculated to
Inspire a patriotio rfgard cither for
tho laws under which ho lives
or his native or adopted
stato. True, tho tenure of the ou.UiH)
acre man Is not so durable, but ho may
renew when his first term expires, liy
the l'Jth section the original pur
chaser may sell after three years. Jle
may soli to anyone who will go on the
laud and occupy it. This veudee may
bo tho head of a family, or he
may not. Proof of settlement
may he made by the sith vender.
This bill recites an act mttklng it a peutil
otl'enco to occupy any of tho lands
named without uutnnrlty, and yet it
gives to purticular parties i0 days over
other and unollending ci.i.eiis in which
to deliberate and proparo to purchase.
It is admitted that large hodiea of theso
landa are now held In defiance of and in
snerrit violation of tho actol lhs, and vtt
tho bill uu.lor consideration gives such
tresspassers and violators of the law a
piofcrenco over other poo;, lo iu buying
ami 1. asing. I do not think It correct
piiiiliu policy to thus oIPt premiums to
those who doty tho luitlnnitv of the

see that no ono uses theso lauii.i v-il'c-out
authority, Hire, a.ain, the power
is not given him to perform ti -' duly;
hut eyon il it were, it is wholly foiein
to tho caption and tho purpi'so of t tin
bill to require one of tho elerUs to Me
that no one violates tho act pu,se:
ut tho extra session ol lss( un,
recited in this act. Tlm 2!i..b section
provides for sidling the limber at hit
Hero. Now, lands may havo ti tidier
suitable for shingles and lumber, but
the quantity may not ho worth $1, and
vet it cannot bo sold unks-i it (the tim
ber) brings per acre. '1 tie
,'IOlh section restricts tho sale
of lands having timber mnt
ablo for lumber or shingles to actual
s.ittleis for $j. Here again, ono sec
tion may havo upon or over it some
timber such as ia described, yel not suf
ficient to niako it worth more than fl
per acre, but tho purchaser, if lie de
sires to settle on it, must pay tor
tho land, lly tho last bcc'.ion tlio small
tracts of lands in organized
counties may ho sold. It will
be remeinbe'eii Ibut this Is a constitu
tional ohjeo'.ion to Iho bill that I pointed
out iu Iho beginning of these remarks.
These lauds do i:ot holong to any or the
ins.'itutions named, lti tho caption.
Again, these nripi or small tracts will
furnish Ihousainn of email homr-steads
for hun. b:o peopp, and idiould bo jeal
ously giiMiilcd. Our constitution still
oll-rspro t tnption iron. Adjoining tlioe
tractu may ba luen who own their
leagues, and half or quartor
leagues, u.nl yet thoy aro given
prelerence to aequiro more over Iho
man without an a to and without a
homo. If wo restrict ptiivhasa in tho
uorthwest to ono scctiou, no gojd rea
son can bo given for allowing thosu
who have comfortable homes, with
thousands ol acres purchased already,
to urehastt tho small tracts alluded
to, and thus add to their abundance
in preiorenco to the poor
and deserving settlor who tolls to
build himsell and his little
means of existence and a dimple ioof
tree which he loves to call Ins home.
Ilul apart from all reawiiw thus far
assigned, there is one general o'ljeotiou
to the bill that becomes patent t I'all on
a liniment's rellecliini. Tint watered
sections, w here tho great bulk ot theso
lands aro situsted, to catilo raisers con
stitute tbs chief vuluo of all,
and no valid excuso can bo i, lb red
for placing tho mitore.l i.inds on the
market at 'i per aero. Hive mo control
ol uio watered mid I will be virtually
tho owner ol all tho surrouniliug eeuii
trp. It access cannot ho had to strc mis
the binds will toiuaiu free lo
tlio.so who control tho waters.
It requires no stretch of the
imagination to see that it
Is I. ut a few years, If this bill should b.
count a law, until largo capiialn-ts
would own the, waters und cotuinainl
all the balance. . Thus It would result
that tho only benefit tho aehoels, the
university or the asylums would ever
get out ol Texas laud's would c uuo fro in
H e watered sections at .
per aero. Tho present law is
unwieldy and awkward, but under its
operation tlio school, the imivorsitv
and tho asyluma will remain lor the
next two years tlieowneis of tho lands,
Including the waters, Huhjoet to the ills
po.itlon of future legislatures, provided
the land board should m.t dispose of
them, and I think it is liulnltely toiler
and bettor, having a cniisclentioiiH re
gard for all Interests of the Mate, to
ieavo them iu this con, lit hill .hut, ki.l.
