\ tlueNtion of Authority Aswerted anil Denied -
Intrre.tliiii lleadiiiK lor the Democracy.
The following letter /rum Hon. John M.
Claiborne, chairman of the State Democratic
executive committee, to Hon. John H. Krisby,
chairman of the county executive committee,
is carrying out theintimation heretofore made
as to General Claiborne's policy in regard to
the convention to be held to morrow night.
Mr. Frisby's reply, outlining pretty clearly the
position of the convention delegates, is given;
Rooms State Executive Committee ok
the Democratic Pakty of Texas, May 22,
;ss4— Dear Sir: Your serious attention is direct-
ed to the call of the chairman of the state execu-
tive committee herewith handed you. The
said call is made for the single purpose of
selectiug delegates to a convention to be held
at Port Worth, Texas, on the 11th day of
June, 18S4, for the purpose of selecting dele-
gates to the National Convention of the Demo-
cratic party, to be holden in Chicago on the
Sth day of July, for the purpose of nominat
the iSc Full Fin- '"K a candidate for president ind also a can-
didate for vice-president of the United
States. The Couuty convention of Galveston
county that arsembles on the 21th instant is
assetpbled under that call and can perform
nothing else according to the rules governing
the party. The Fort Worth convention is
called for a singlo purpose—i. e., selecting of
deli gates as abovo stated. Should she do
aught else it would be illegal, and a usurpation
of the power of the people tbev would not
tolerate, and a violation of all true principles,
The Galveston county Democracy assembled it:
convention under the call, may also
sumet ) do many other things. Should she do
so it will l»e illegal and the executive com
mittee of the State under rule 18 will not
permit it for a siugle moment, llule 2 say
the management of the pat ty in the State
shall be under the control of the chai. man of
the state executive committee. As said chair
man 1 would advise vott not to go beyond
what you were called to do.
There are many reasons for my action iit
this matter that had better t>eleft unsaid, but
if the executive committee of this county and
the delegates elected to the convention of
May 24, have the best info rest of th
greatest number at heart, they will simply re
gard the call as made and adjourn after doing
what they were called to do, and await the
call of the state chairman for the transaction
of such business as he may lay before them
Very truly, Jno. M. Claiborne,
Chairman State Executive Committee.
Rooms ok the County Executive Commit
tee ok the Democratic Party ok Gaia es
ton, May 22, 1884. ~'l'o Hon. Jno. M. Clai-
borne, Chairman State Executive Committee
—Sir: I have the distinguisheil honor of
acknowledging receipt of yourofflcial advisory
letter of this date. You will pardon me for
entering my respectful official protest against
the assertion of authority which, in my humble
judgment, you have arrogated to yourself in
a'stiming to dictate to the Democratic execu-
tive committee, through me as its chairman,
and to the Democrats of Galveston county,
what the elected delegates of the party to the
convention called to assemble on the 24th day
of May next, should do in the matter of select-
ing delegates to represent the county of Gal
veston in the several conventions—state, con-
gressional, senatorial, representative and
dotorial. The Democratic party management
for the county of Galveston is capable, in my
humble judgment, of attending to its own
business, in its own way, and 1 regret to say
that the course which you have been pleased
to pursue in intermeddling with matters
wholly beyond state executive jurisdiction,
whatever may be your object, can
have but one common sense direction, and that
is to create confusion and discord in the party
ranks. I shall, therefore, respectfully decline
to take direction from you, inasmuch as
you are one of the framers of the rules
aud regulations for the government of the
Democratic party in the State of Texas adopt-
ed at Waco, March 7, 1884. You can not pos.
sibly lie ignoraut of what is set forth in the
following rule>, which are earnestly com-
mended to your careful consideration:
1. Ride 7. The county conve .tions shall
appoint delegates to all conventions in which
such county is entitled to representation.
Rule 11. The chairman of any executive
committee shall, with the advice or consent of
a majority of said committee, call all ueces.-arv
conventions, naming the time and place, and
giving sufficient notice.
Rule 14. Nothing in these rules shall be
construed as prohibiting the holding of
primary elections in districts or counties. And
in the. event of holding such primary elections,
such counties or distr cts so holding tliem shall
adopt aud proceed under such rules and regit
lat ions therefor as the said counties and dis-
tricts may see proper to adopt.
A common-sense understanding of the fore-
going rules places the party arrangements for
the several counties wholly beyond your of-
ficial jurisdiction, which, in my humble judg-

A Lengthy Criticism of tile Law ami Home l.an
Ollircrs -Correspondence Uctwcen the Mayor
anil Judge C«.ok.
The grand jury having concluded its labors
appeared in open court yesterday and pre-
sented the following report, which being re-
ceived, they were discharged:
Galveston, May —, 188-1.—To the Hon.
Gustavo Cook, Judge of the Criminal District
Court: May it please the court, the grand
jury, in asking to be discharged, beg respect-
fully to submit the following as their report:
We li'tve been in session sixteen days, exam-
ined fifty cases and returned into court twen-
ty seven indictments. The laws given us
specially in charge huve not been thoroughly
investigated for want of witnesses. The legis-
lature makes the laws, and, lie they good or
bad, the grand jury, as a part of the executive
branch of the government, must work on
the principle that the only safety to society
lies in a strict adherence to and enforcement
of the laws as they stand on the statute book
of Texas. But the grand jury can not dis-
charge their duty unless the officers of the
law take cognizance of crime, produce the
witnesses and the witnesses produce the evi-
dence. It is the duty of the criminal district
clerk to swear the grand jury by a stringent,
ample, solemn grand juror's oath. He does
his duty. The judge, under the I iw,
must then charge the grand jury
on their duty, and especial 1to investigate
the violation of the Sunday law, the law
agaiust, gambling and the law against public
prostitution or houses of ill-fame. The judge
does his duty.
Then the grand jury attempt to do their
iuty. They ask the sheriff and bailiffs, the
mayor and chief of police, for witnesses, but
they are not forthcoming; therefore, this
grand jury, like most of its predecessors, is
adjourned, with its possible duty only half ac-
complished.
Disaster to the well-being of society is a sure
result when the violation of any one of the ten
commandments is legalized by law. St. Louis
repealed her law licensing houses of ill-fame,
New Orleans acknowledges the failure of an
attempt to license gambling houses, and Cin-
cinnati, from an open violatiou and disregard
of t, e Sunday laws, advanced to the defiance
and violation with impunity of all laws, har-
vesting the usual fruition, niot and bloodshed.
Our zealous criminal district attorney, who has
•he^rfully counseled and instructed this grand
Ittry whenever called upon, constantly speaks
ot defects in the law and its practical
workings and says that he has time and axain
suggested the proper remedies in the proper
quarters, so far without effect. Your honor
informs us that you have doue your duty in
this regard. We now ask that these sugges-
tions lie made known to the public fcr the
good of the people. We ure informed there
no law provided against the bribery of mayor
or aldermen: that the law is obscure or inoper
ative for holding officers of the law to a propel
accountability for the neglect of duty in their

large population occupying the city and pre-
vent violation of law as well as arrest offend-
ers. The constabulary are clothed with full
power to do it, and their obligations are pre-
cisely the same as those of the sheriff's force.
Co-operation in the enforcement of statute
laws of the State is the whole point and extent
of mv suggestion. Very respectfully your
obedient servant Gustave Cook,
Judge Criminal District Court, Galveston and
Harris Counties,
P. S.—I have referred your letter aud a
copy of my reply to the grand jury.
Yours, etc., Gustave Cook.

A report having becomo circulated that the

miles of additional road, a representative of
The News, upon hearing of it, set to Work to
learn what measure of truth it contained. In
the course of his inquiries, he found the whole
thing to be an inflated piece of fiction; a
mountain made from a mole hill; in short,
that tho story, as furnished to the public with
such an air of positiveness. in reality has no

the eager imagination of a too previous news-

in reply to the reporter's question, s;iid: " You

One of the heaviest rain and wind storms of
the year visited the city \6sterday. During
the previous night the wind had been blowiuj
rather stiffly from the south-southeast and
jesterday morning in consequence there was a
hard sea running outside. During the early
morning the wind switched around to east-
southeast and tip to about 10 o'clock blew al-
most with gale like force. The sky was over-
cast with heavy lead colored clouds, which be-
gan, about the hour named, to grow blacker and
he\vver, and it was apparent that a storiu of
no mean proportions was at hand. It came,
and came like one of the furies. In a jiffy, a
tremendous blow from the northwest swept
down turned the southeast wind, aud churned
the waters of the bay until white capped waves
beat angrily up and down, seething and
jostling the small boats in lively style. The
force of the wind was sufficiently strong, it
is said, to change the current of the tide. In
the city, the force of the blow was set n and
felt only incidentally, but the rain came down
in floods, and in a little while the streets
were inunddteil. In many residence portions
of the city, for squares, the stieets and
even sidewalks were submerged. Accompany-
ing the wind and rain were vivid flashes of
lightning and heavy peals of thunder. Dur-
ing the storm the house of Mr. Tim Cowen, on
the corner of Thirty seventh strett and Ave-
nue I, was struck by lightning, the bolt strik-
ing aud tearing the i oof, and then glancing
off to another house, which, however, was not
damaged seriously. Fortunately Mr. Cowen's
family were not at home at the time. It was
reported last night that St. Patrick's church
was also struck and slightly damaged, but
this lacks confirmation.
The greatest degree of interest, was mani-
fested yesterday concerning the condition of
the railroads throughout the State, and nu-
merous inquiries were made for the latest in-
formation regarding them. Railroad men
were reticent regarding washouts, but outside
reports were to the effect that trains had l.een
bandoued on tho Central, International
an 1 and Texas and New Orleans
roads, and oil the Santa Fe. alx>ve
Temple. Missouri-Pacific trains went out
yesterday afternoon, but it was currently re-
respect ive spheres.
We have requested the mayor ot the city ti
cause his police to openly take the names of
persons entering houses interdicted by law and
summon these persons to appear before us as
witnesses; to do so along the whole line, so we
might avoid partiality, as far as possible, in
discharging this part of our sworn duty. It is
a very embarrassing position in which the law
places a goot) citizen as gruud juror. Sworn
to especially enforce these laws, the law fa.il:
to provide the means of getting the evidence,
unless it may be the grand jury will take
011 itself the duties of the police, sheriff,
constables, etc.," aud go about getting the
names of needed witnesses. It certainly
would be better for the people to have these
laws ri pealed than to teach the criminal class
by a non-enforcement of them, disrespect and
contempt of other laws, which may be more
popular. The certain, prompt execution of
the laws indeed double their value and greatly
diminish their violation. We think our fellow-
citizens should know and think of these things
sometimes, even when they are not "on the
jury." When the law is violated by fighting,
murdi r, theft, etc., the justices, the police, the
sheriff, etc., are zealous in the discharge of
their duties, and the grand jury is facilitated
in every way «itu alacrity, but the very oppo-
site may be said of them when the grand jury
attempts to consider these laws, given them
specially iu charge. The mayor answers
our request through your honor, and we re-
quest you to permit us to attach his reply to this
and make it a part of our report, tile subject
matter of which should challenge the thought-
ful attention of the governor, the mayor, and,
indeed, our fellow-citizens, because the viola-
tion of a part of the law will bring the whole
law iuto disrespect and then injustice is ram-
pant, closely followed bv confusion, riot and
chaos. Provision for the proper
care of the insane and the inebri-
ates in the county; a work-house for
criminal children, so theso unfortunate beings
can be removed from our public jail, have be-
come chronic matter for these reports and
their importance warrants persistent allusion
to this demand in our city and county. Our
observation of the practical workings of the
law lead us to the conclusion thatall executive
officers ot the county should be appointed, in-
cluding the criminal district attorney, by, or
at least be made amenable to, the governor
for omission or neglect in the proper enforce-
ment of the laws. Every good citizen is a
lover of law and order and jealous of the fair
fame of his city. He is liable to
be called 011 to serve his turn as grand
juror at any time. He will find
the duty imposed upou him undesired but
necessary, and feel and see the things we have
tried to make plain in the foregoing report.
Iu conclusion, we may be permitted to ccn-
vey our u/gh appreciation of your honor's dig-
nitiod courtesy anil independent honesty of in-
tercourse with us at this term of court, and
also thank the brilliant district attorney, the
sheriff and 1 itilitfs for official attentions.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Nichols. Foreman.

Mayor's Office, Galveston. Tex., May Hi,
1884.—Hon. Gustave Cook, Judge Criminal
Distriot Court, Galvestjn, Tex.—Sir: The in-
structions or suggestions given to me yester-
day, as mayor, or ex officio chief of police,
contemplate a somewhat radical departure
from what I had heretofore considered was ex
pected of the police authorities iu the enforce-
ment of the Sunday law, the suppression
of gambling and the detection of houses of
prostitution, and I therefore request that you
give to me, in writing, the substance of what
you advised verbally yesterday—citing such
provisions of the law as you may consider bear
most directly upon the questions. I have no
desire or intention of shirking any responsibil-
ity that properly devolves upon uieas the head
of the municipal government of the city of
(ialvestoa, in executing any well-defined law,
however repugnant it may lie to my views of
public policy. But in entering upon a
crussde of this nature, or rather in assumfn g
the responsibility of the regulation of such
matters as 1 have bi en heretofore advised be-
longed mainly to state and county officials, I
desire to fortify myself with such legal infor-
mation as will prevent the possibility of my
exceeding the limit of my autlioritv in the
regulation of such matters, ;ind especially so
Personal.

ing them at public meetings. A quotation
well applied and understood may be fatal to
the quoter. Such tee doubtless the reflections
of the chairman of a conservative working
men's club in the North, who began a speed
in the following original and startling
manner: "Ladies and gentlemen, rogues
anil fools." This reminds 11s of a story of a
biilliant literary man, now dead, who spoke
as follows nt a debating society in which he
was invitvd to make a few remarks: "Gen
tlemen, I shall first prove the futility of all the
observations made by the four last speakers,
and then proceed to show mj contempt for the
meeting by pulling th chairman's nose." But
the Newcastle speaker had uo thought of iu
stilting the assembly before him. After the
sensation caused by his .remarkable exordium
had subsided, he explained that it was only a
fragment of a quotation " from a liberal news-
paper,''and order once more reigned in the
Newcastle-011-Tyne Third Conservative Work-
inginen's club.

correspondent of the Detroit Post and Tribune.
" Though with a population of 10,1100,000, its |
entire annual product, counting vegetables,
cereals, fruit, lumber, silver and precious |
stones, is less than tba1 of the single State of

The whole number of people who came to I
Mexico last year irotn the United States was
less than the Europeans who laud at Castle

••Among Tennyson's miscellaneous poems,"
writes a correspondent, "you will find one en-
titled Dora, and if you will then take the sec-
oud series of Miss Mitford's stories, Our Vil-
lage, and examine a tale there called Dora
Creswell, and compare it with the poem, you
will find them almost identical. Dora is the
heroine iu each. Walter and Mary are two
more personages in the poem—William and
Mary in the ta.'e. The plot, with tlie excep-
tion of the termination, which is somewhat
altered in tho poem, is exactly the same in
eacb. Altogether, the singular coincidence
may be worth noting."

nii«Mi the fact, that the
\ eminent of Gal-

and, indeed, the municipal government is a
part of the state government, instituted for
convenience. It is an auxiliary department,
but unt a separate government. I, as a mem-
ber of the judiciary i»f the State, have made
the suggestion that the constabulary of Gal-
veston be reminded of their duty to sue to the
enforcement of such laws of the State as they
can be ( specially serviceable in ou account ot
the nature and character of other duties de |
volvedon them, particularly by the ordinances
of the city government. Tims far and no'
further. You have the laws of \he |
State f<»r your guidance, which must j
serve you far better than any sug-1
gestion I could make, besides having
the facility of a law officer given you by char- |
ter, whose suggestions you can have, I think
it quite as far as I should go, when I suggest
that you are charged with the execution of the
state laws, printed in the Revised Statutes, in
equal degree wi;!i the ordinances and regu-|
I la tions of tho city government. There is no
j »reference; they owe their authority to the 1
same source. The reason of my suggestion
j was the inadequacy of the sheriffs force to

A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itahiug ami

William (an Indian remedy), called Di. "Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment. A siugle box has
cured the worst chronic cases of tweutv-five

more harm than good. William's Ointment
absorbs the tumors, allays tho intense itching,
'particularly at night after getting warm iu

less relief, aim is prepared only for piles, itch-
ing of the private parts, and for nothing else.
