filed a protest with the attorney gen-

A MATTER OF DIFFERENCE.
---
Some of the northern papers who
have kept very quiet since the recent |
outrages in Illinois, Ohio and Indiana,
have erupted again over the burning
of a negro preacher in Georgia. They
admit the atrocity of the murder of
the two Americans on the San Juan
river by order of the chief executive
of Nicaragua, after they had been spit
upon, insulted, beaten and submitted
to every species ot brutality that could
be conceived by half civilized and
wholly barbarous soldiers, but declare
that the action of the mob in the "great
state of Georgia a more outrageous
crime.” The facts in the Georgia cav
are about these: A negro preacher was
driving along the road when a promi-
nent citizen of Cochran came up be-
hind him in an automobile and fright-
ened his team, whereupon the negro
drew a pistol and shot the white man,
wounding him fatally. Several shots
were exchanged and tho negro, after
being slightly wounded, too refuge in a
barn, where he was captured by the
enraged citizens and burned at a stake.
There papers give all the horrible de-
tails of the burning, the length of time

Is the same spirit, still rampant,
which inspired the manufacturer of
rum and headed a temperance crusade
when the business ceased to pay,
which led the wolrd in the barbarous
slave trade and became the champions
of human liberty and negro emanci-
pation when the holding of negro
slaves became more expensive than
profitable, which constructed the "un-
derground road” to assist the flight of
the slave from the master to whom
they themselves had sold him. Free
raw material and a high protective
tariff on the finished product will con.
tinue to produce these $60 dividends
quoted in tho November report.

Leslle M. Shaw became the head or the
treasury department, and the $ 12.50 was
sent to him by the New York ap-
praiser. but he sent it back with a note
to the effect that the proper way to
dispose of the money was to place It
in the conscience fund.
In this connection the.Oregon Journal
says: *
"Mr. Gage, except as secretary of the
treasury has never been a public man.
and never talked to the pablie, but Mr.
Shaw has been in public life otherwise,
hs talked much, and even aspired to
the presidency. He doesn’t believe in
or trust the people, thinks they are
not fit for self-government, has no re-
spect for a popular vote except as it
elects republicans without thought;
and yet he as well as Gage let these
colossal swindles of the government he
served In high station go on under his
nose for years, although he had at least
this one hint, that would have aroused
the suspicions of a very ordinary man.”
Mr. Shaw is a typical republican. He
does not think thl people are capable
of self-government, and believes that
such men as Aldrich and Cannon know
better what is good for them than they
do themselves. He despises and dis-
trusts the wisdom of the people. The
fact looms up that as a high official
and a supposed statesman he proved
himselt less fit to pass on tha 818.60 in-
cident than Coria. the average citizen,
who knew very well that the govern-
ment was being robbed and ha did his

and Colonel S. W. Fordyce, the pur- J

noon. i
, The hundreds of former Waters-
Pierce company agents in the state
were notified of the transfer by wire
and instructed to hereafter get their
instructions from C. W. Cahoon, who
has been appointed general manager
by Colonel Fordyce. Mr. Cahoon, who
is till in the city, has not yet deter-

Houston or Dallas will get them.
Mr. Sealy, the purchaser of the Fe-
curity and Navarro refining properties,
left for Galveston Wednesday night
and his headquarters will be main-
tained in that city although the exist-
ing executive organization of the prop-
erties will continue as it stood at the
time he bought them.
Mr. Pierce will have a large per-
sonal interest with Colonel Fordyce in
the organization which the latter has
in view for the handling of the busi-
ness he has bought, said organization
to be absolutely independent of con-
nection with any oil refining or mar-

Intention is, furthermore, to get as
many Texans Into this organization as
possible, which will not be matured for
several weeks, but do not contemplate
formation of a corporation, the idea
being to run the business as a partner-

The report of the cotton ginners for
the month of November was made pub-

number of bales ginned last month to
be 388,070. This makes a total of
2,084,103 bales so far ginned this sea-
son which is estimated by the depart-
ment to be approximately 95 per cent
of the entire cotton crop in Texas. For
the corresponding period last year the
total number of bales ginned num-
bera 1,998.946. This number, how-
ever did not represent the total crop,

was on account of the season being

The University Press* club held its
regular monthly meeting yesterday
afternoon in the regents* room. The
club is growing in numbers and In use-
fulness, having as its alm the presenta-
tion of University news of interest in
the various papers throughout the
state. Efforts are being made to se-
cure a representative from each county
and from each of the larger towns and
cities. , ,
There is perhaps no organization in
the University which manifeste more
genuine loyalty to the institution. Let.
tors have already been sent out by the
members of the club, and during the
holidays personal arrangements will
be made with the editors, who will be
asked to handle the forthcoming news
letters. At each meeting the club dis-
cusses the University topics of the
month, and an Agreement Is Arrived at
as to what are the features most to be
stressed.
It is hoped that during the ekrly part
of the spring term the membership may
grow to the hundred mark.

These tariff-fattened spinners are
even wore than the dog in the man-

protection that insures these enormous
dividends, but having developed an
abnormal appetite by overfeeding they
demand that the men who produced
their wealth should have no share in

Ran Antonio. Dec. 9.—The largest
number of homeseekers which ever ar-
rived in San Antonio began to appear
today More than ten special trains
brought them and it is estimated that
there are in the city 10,000 of them
with at least 4000 to 5000 more cn
roate. The railroad have been taxed
to the limit to accommodate them.
Many are en route to Aransas pass and
"La Pryor” ranch, where big sales are
scheduled. They camo from as far
north as Canada and as far east as
Boston and Buffalo.
In order to accommodate the crowds
the San Antonio and Aransas Pass ran
five special trans today to ransaa
Pass. There is doubt if there will be
hotel accommodations enough in
Aransas pass for them and the sleepers
will be left there for the accommoda-
tion of the visitors.
In addition to the train loads sev-
eral other real estate men brought in
several earn. These will go to all por-
tions of Texas, most of them, however,
to Southwest Texas.
It is estimated by real estate men
that as the result of this excursion thia
section will get not less than 7000
famfles, who will come here to perma-
nently reside. This means that this one
excursion will increase the population
of this section of the state nearlv 20,-
