We had intended to indite two short editorials, orheoia the currency bill and one on thli Mexican situa tion, which being live topics are of general interest, but submit instead the editorial of the New ('leans States, which conveys its own .a1 and distressing lesson as well as the depravity of man. gays the States: "Plainly, the woman was drunk. Anybody could see tlsat. Hfer still comely face was flushed. $he fidget ed and swaye4. Every little while she burst forth into silly• laughter not the product of gaiety, but more like colicky grinning of babes in pain. Once she swore. Quite often she mumbled. Sometimes across the soiled surface of her brain there flitted obscene images and then she talked in words which made the re cording angel weep. "Years of downward living were in her face, her dress, her drooling manner. But a drunken man is sad enough to look upon. But a drunk en woman, one who might hkve been a wife, a mother, who once was a cunning, rosy-lipped, pink-and ka: c cream baby, into whose dimpled smile a mother looked with soulfu fn :tdernees-saints above, but it *as a.mthetic A sanctuary profaned, in -r nocence bespattered, beauty and f.i urity trodden into the mire of the teri, ,the finest possibility of life ti4i into the. most disheartenink et sp.ound this drunken woman, tIe pmoduct of man's greed and seltty, a group of men and boys 'sld ltbred,.Jeering and sneering. a"iwiyes immense ste P s the wreea i igityadere4 human ,+s - s nWe have sa.ved as4ik witne e lpnss upon ey merely jeered. sli aeetsinsg. wleretbej ouser and s, ' lfi ., . - p .u o eý { f o f Yff F~ rbn7"Si Y ý. w ,ý ý irilu 4*a- er, r I ýpith reng i~ia~,FIa t5~IngkL V. -jF"J~iib £tkumLb 1IIRLATS MADE V AGAINST TEXAS UEMAND LENIENCY IS SOWN I IE MEXICAN SMUOGLERS IARGII WTIT TilL IILLING .gemseoC CrelazO Springs eoserig. frIO Convloted--Soverr Pe mWrmS them theU A.tleit b --se-. eIn5 ere: . 9brea' stain* the *a V c2 6iB is nlenienqC J shown to Mexican ammunition gpuggle4t charged with .lite S~ posseman and rrestel Sear ~Serri.
