FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1883.
TtlE job of counting the cash in
tbe tfeasuary at Austin has been
Completed, and tbe amount found to
be 1*2,441,190.18. This is a snag lit-
tle sum to be locked up and kept in
idleness. Is there no way to utlilize
a portion of it for tbe general good?
Why not put the convicts to budd-
ing public highways, and disburso a
VVetnillion or so for teams, implements,
j*£ HUjpplies and salaries? Better lend it
i®on^sl7 est on to aid in sccuriug deep

On the 6th, he can got his pay for

which was as follows:
The citizens of Fort Worth as
sembled in mass meeting last night
to discuss the question of securing
the branch lunatic asylum. Col
Paddock was present with a largo
following opposed to its location
there. The friends of the measure
Wisely called upon the colonel for a
Speech, and he delivered himself of
One of thoso masterpieces of logic
that so impressed the legislature
when be arraigned the moral status
of Dallas. It was so convincing that
the pitying meeting immediately and
unanimously adopted resolutions
Claiming, in substance, that if any
1>ne town in the state needed an asy.
did more than another, that its "civ-
ilization may no longer be disgraced
by the incarceration of insano per
pna in county jails," it was Fort
orth.
A GOOD BILL.
If the Eighteenth legislature shall
Bucceed in placing the pending bill
to prevent adulteration of food,
drugs and drinks in ti e penal code
of (be state, it will have earned its
pay and tho gratitude of thd people.
^ It is a measure of vital importance,
as it affects the health of the entire
population now in being and the
generations that are to spring from
It. The bill came up in the bouse
yesterday morning, when a motion
to strike out the appropriation pre-
vailed, and the bill passed to en-
grossment. It w«uld have been
well to have retained tbe appropria-
tion. Chemists must be paid for
their services—without ohemists and
apparatus for analyses it will bo very
difficult to make proof of adultera-
tion, and therefore it is to be ro-
gretted that provision was not made
to enable Prof. Mallett and scientific
assistants to expose the frauds of
tbe adulterators. However, tho bill
is a move in the right direction, and
it is so plainly necessary for the pro-
tection of the people against poinon-
ous and health-destroying concoc-
tions and decoctions, that it is not
doubted tbe Senate will see its duty
and complote the beneficient remedy
inaugurated by the other branch of
tbe Assembly.

fcHE DAILY DEMOCRAT.
With the opening ofthe first spring
month the Daily Democrat desires
to call the attention of the citizens
of Fort Worth to its value as an af-
ternoon local pater, and to invite
their consideration of its merits as a
flows and advertising medium. It
has now struggled through a dull
reason of a month and a half with
meagre patronage and inadequate
encouragements It has, however,
in that short period built up a very
. fine subscription list, which is grow-
ing daily, and the management is'
prepared to assure advertising pa-
trons of a fair roturn for investments
iu its columns. It is fhithful and
earnest in its efforts to merit the
confidence dnd good will of tbe com'
munity, and will not in tho future
falter in enterprise or deviate from
the path of duty as It sees it. Its
purpose and hope is to increase its
Usefulness, grow in strength, exalt
Hs dignity and live in tbe affections
of a generous constituency. Trusting
that It may now put aside its expe-
rimental habiliments, and look to
tbe fbture with undoubting confi-
dence that it is an institution ap-
proved by the city and will be sus-
tained by its friends, it respectfully
solicits business commensurate with
its usefulness and goes forward in
tho discharge of its high mission.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Tho News' special from Austin,
night before la-it, 28th, furnishes
those notes:
Senator Matlock's bill fixing tbe
venue for suits against the state
is intended as an entering wedge to
finally disrupt the oligarchy of state
officers at Austin, who, when they
so dosiro, suspend all the laws of the
state.
The senate, in executive session
to-day, confirmed the .governor's
appointment of pilot commissioners
sent in yesterday.
The railroad bill called up by Mr.
Shannon in tho sonate, and passed
to-day, indicates the extent to
which the senate is willing to go in
tho direction taken by the Cheno-
weth railroad equalization bill.
Tbe anti-adultoration bill, as now
amended, provides that any person
who shall manufacture, offer for sale
or sell any article of food, the term
food to include every articlo used for
food or drink by man, or drugs that
are adulterated, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
be punished with a fine not exceod
ing five hundred dollars. Late this
evening several of the ablest mem
bers were seriously considering tho
wisdom of making provision in tbe
measure for Dr. Mallet, as state
chemist, as he ranks with the most
noted scientists in the world, and as
the salary offered him by tho univer-
sity is inadequate, the wisdom of
such a provision having the effoct ol
supplementing his salary an I identi
fying his analysis and discoveries
more closely with tho state woulc
not be questioned by the intelligent
portion of the public.
Mr. Foster, of Grayson, who is the
author of the bill providing for the
cancellation of the penitentiary list,
is regarded as one of the leaders ol
tho house in opposition to the sys
tem under which tbe penitentiaries
are conducted.
It begins to appear that it woulc
be economy for the legislature to ad
journ at tho expiration of sixty days,
as in a called session all but the most
important measures would bo wasto
basketed. As it is now, there is
more work carved out thau could bo
acted upon in two years.
GENERAL NOTES.
Comptroller Swain turned over to
the state treasurer to-day $60,000 on
account of the sales of public land,

trigonomotry, philosophy and other
splendid brauchos of stud}', returned
