EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.
According to the Galveston News, evening city has not a 74-rule outfit.
The Galveston News issues a bold, manly circular reviewing Galveston City’s complete in its makeup.
“Taxes hurt and, after all, they make land. Interest-bearing bonds fit into public lands. They have been thrown into prison in Ireland, and are now brought back to America, preparing to incarcerate the women.”
Benjamin Yaquinto, of the Seguin Times, is of the opinion that St. Peter will hold the fort against the Houston Post when their dispute as to orthography is settled; and this is because the “independent” press is unknown to the economy of the just.
The latest question involved is the refusal of Mr. Gladstone in refusing to accept as a present a frieze coat and knit stockings when in attendance on his critics. Why, the News forgets that gifts like these are clearly unconstitutional. Judge Dwyer refused a set of silver presented by an admiring constituent.
Bill Hutchinson says that the important point is being a United States marshal in service, but they are not far from carrying a pistol on one or the trips to Bandera, being authorized to do so by Judge Adams, and so far the ball and shot only as directed and not aimed at all. But some one man was presented the ball after dinner.
The Galveston News does not need any independent ticket to succeed, but takes the “democratic-majority” outfit down so as to scare some into good behavior. Why, bless you, the democratic majority becomes shaky every good party year. It only takes 30,000 scant but keeps top together, is the confidence of your baser men in a contest of brains you are at a discount.
In reviewing the prospect of an extra session of the legislature the Galveston Daily Journal says:
Now, it is not some legislation we need, but some more, for example, the judging and juries, less corresponding with crime; less many-paying contracts and a whitewash, and a sentence with damages. Were party and need handy, for official knavery, bribery, honesty certificates, humbug and yet paying of the same acts fairly and the disgust the people at the present deliberation; we shall see them, though slowly, harmlessly absorbed to buy in American freedom without turning to class out the central seat. Again we shall show our Texas laws if this session convened under a right of the democratic party, but only under the lead of Healy.
The condition of Mr. Healy’s mission, of our city fathers and the respect of the great and good cause of liberty in Ireland, plainly shows the people are alive and by a people denied to move their cause, opposed by iron laws, to carry home the sword of American freedom. It is the custom of Ireland to fight for what is right and this meeting is alive to strike at the sword of the landlord born in the wrong of landlordism.
There are great principles at stake in the struggle. The Irish people are never afraid of the fight; if there is real resistance it is bound to grow. Just as too when landlords displace the people and withdraw their help and workers hang on the great debt to the common agent who sooner or later reduces them to the condition of the 400,000 so made.
The present policy of repression practiced by the British government is rapidly hastening the final result. Men of letters, like Healy and Parnell, are leading the Irish people steadfastly along the pathway of patient resistance to the consummation of Ireland’s fondest hopes—national freedom and relief and a republican form of government. Mr. Healy will find in this community sincere expressions of his ardent sympathy and of honor of his noble land.
“FORTY ACRES AND A MULE.”
“Forty acres and a mule” was at one time held up to the people of this country as a sacred hope for the colored classes—many of whom enfranchised the Government.
The republican party was charged by the News that any such act done is reactionary; asked to remember the policy “darky” as a measure of republican policy.
Now, looking back over the other end of reconstruction, “forty acres and a mule” as the legacy of a family became the symbol of freedom and justice to the hundreds of wisdom that bore during that period.
Again the dividend lands of the country among the people—to have a home and a cow for every head of a family alone—these two when everything was in ruin, would have given the grandest idea possible. Rent would have destroyed the landed aristocracy, and equally placed every man upon an equal footing.
The “forty acres and a mule” should have applied to whites as well as blacks. And had this principle been carried out it would have solved the vexed question and made the most smooth progress and contented sections of this nation.
We point now to the outcome. In our land of landlordism lies activity; the purchase of a large tender for the monopoly of land tenure has been progressing; the battle was progress, necessity the battle will be done through a strict struggle; the glorious day shall arrive—when will come the question of land tenure. The tendency of land tenure moves to divinely, and if this tendency goes, our happy land may escape landlordism.
Miscellaneous Items.

The Light asks of the original Houston Age that it will find pleasure in reflecting that the British Government is now fighting her left heel for Ireland.
The New York Sun says for some time past the British Government has been watching the movements of the Irish in America, believing them to be plotting the overthrow of English authority in Ireland, and measures have been taken to prevent the landing of arms or munitions of war in Ireland from this country.
