alippery highways. This will long
be remembered as the winter of hard
times ; never in the history of St
Louis were so many men and women
out of employment. Charitable
societies, wealthy individuals here
and there and the municipal authori
ties are busy relieving "cases of
destitution, but the work is a fearful
task in this vast wilderness of shanties
an d "dingy buildings of unseemly
brick," along the endless nameless

streets and alleys of this big city.
Half-naked, half-starved boys and
the different police stations and
discussion. I heard a republican
statesman, so called, bewailing the
fact that the trained and improved
consular and diplomatic personnel
which, he said, had been established
in the last eight years by Evarts and
Frelinchuysen, must give place to
Democratic bummers and ward poli-
ticans. Well, it will be a pity if it is
so, but if this noxious class must
have officers, by all means let's send
them to the foreign courts where
they will have nothing to do, and
will therefore be incapable of harm.
Modern diplomacy is an anachronism
and a farce. There ia not the slight

men crowding tbe court rooms and ambassadorial establishments of eon-
oorridors of tbe public buildings to tiguous atatea useless, then how
corridors of the public buildings to utterly needless to keep them up be-
shelter themselves from the pitiless tween our country and trans-Atlantic
storm. The police are continually oowers. It would be better to re-
driving them out into the streets,
threatening them with arrest but the
poor fellows come right back again,
knowing very well that the police

place to keep them. In the midst of

Ger. Ireland's Xeataae.
W a regret that our space will not
permit our giving tho Governor's
Message in full. Below we give the
headings of tho Fort Worth Gazette,
which are a summary in themselves,
and also on editorial review by the
aame paper t
The State's growth and prosperity
unprecedented, notwithstanding the
poor crops.
The watered lands should be dedi
cated to the public use a revision in
the lease law necessary.
The State's rapid progress in wealth
and population urgently demand
new census.
The finrncial depression reviewed
the special treasury funds should
be used in emergency.
The condition of our railways,
schools, penitentiaries and asylums-
other topics.
As a state paper. Gov. Ireland's
message ia an admirable document
in many points. The recommenda
tions made in it are not likely to suit
everybody, and probably it was not
made np with that purpose in view j
but even on those points where we
dissent from his conclusions it can
not be denied that bia statements are
fair, and his handling of the subjects
treated of sensible and liberal in tone.
In its entireness the message is
meaty" and will have weight npon
the course of legislation this winter.
The first topio of leading import
ance toucueu npon is tne puDiio
school lands and their disposition
Discussing the leasing of these lands
the governor seems to find difficulty
in avoiding a tangle. He does not
believe those lands capable of support
ing an agricultural population should
be leased for a long term of years,
nor should any lands be bo leased as
to allow their inclosuro in large tracts
without ample passage-wavs around
or through them. At least one-half
the agricultural lands m eacli county
should, he thinks, be reserved from
lease and left open to actual settlers.
This is similar to Mr. Gibbs plan,
which he proposed last summer. If
it iB necessary to except lands from
the operation of the lease law for tne
benefit of settlers, that iB an unquali
fied admission that the leasing of
lands keeps out settlement To hold
the contrary, as tbe lease advocates
do, that leasing does not deter settle
ment, is to put the governor in the
ridiculous attitude of dvising a
remedy for an evil that does not
exist. Tho Democratic platform upon
which the canvass was made and the
present governor and legislature elec
ted pledged the party to sucu legisla
tion respecting the school lands as
will not retard the settlement of the
West. If the governor's plan is re
garded, it will be necessary to divide
tbe West up into leasing and non-
leasing districts, which, if attempted,
will be found utterly impracticable.
The recommendation of a provision
for the taking of a state census npon
which to base a reapportionment of
the legislative districts will meet a
cordial approval in North and West
Texas. The Gazette has printed
columns in favor of a Btate census
and a redistribution of representative
power, and haB repeatedly exposed
the unfairness toward tho growing
West of the existing legislative dis
tricts. The governor's champion
ship of the proposition will renew
discussion of the matter throughout
the state, and will doubtless lead to
tbe enactment of a law looking to a
state census.
The recommendotion of a revision
of the assessment laws to prevent the
escape of property from being taxed ;
of having all legal fees and costs paid
in the counties where they are incur
red ; reducing the ranger forces ; in
creasing the penalty against "pistol-
toters ;" these are the most import
ant topics to which legislative atten-
lon is called for rectification of tbe
existing laws. A strong appeal is
made for economy and the cutting
off of all expenses that can be dis
pensed with without crippling the
public service. This suggestion first
of all should command the attention
of the law-makers, and if there is any
place for "retrenchment and reform"
it should be looked after.

Temple Houston of "the Panhan

than 160 acres nor more tnan uiu
acres, payment to be made in thirty
vears. and unpaid principal to bear
5 per cent No patents to be issued
until after three year s occupancy.
The bill is hedged with provisions to
prevent the accumulation of large
bodies of land in tbe bands oi single
proprietors. It is a bill in the inter
est of home seekers and bona fide
settlers and as such should receive
the endorsement of those who have
the best interests of the country at
heart It will give the first comer a
choice of land, and tne use ot
land surrounding until settlers file

such a bill as should have passed ten

The Victoria Advocate, whosa
editor is one of the directors of the
New York, Texas and Mexican rail
road, has this to say :
San Antonio's proposed railroad to
Aransas Pass lacks a vast deal of be
ing a certainty. In the meantime
the chances are that the Eads meas
ure will be endorsed by congress and
deep water at Galveston thereby be
come an accomplished-fact It is not
a question of what we would like to
have happen, but wnat is most uke.y
to happen. Within the next ninety
days it ia believed the qnestion of
pushing the New York, Texas and
Mexican westward from this city will
be determined in favor of such exten
sion. Should the line reach Goliad
next summer,it would tend to strength
en the demand for deep water at
Galveston, and to that extent lessen
the necessity of connecting San Anto
nio directly with the gulf. There
fore, we think the San Antonio Ex
press is correct in remarking that if
the people of that city Sit quietly
and silently by and make no effort
to controvert the action of tbe Galvea
ton people." tbe result may prove dis
astrous to tbe Aransas Pasa railroad
scheme.
