ACCOMMODATING TO THE PUBLIC.
It is not generally known, but a fact neverthe-
less, that were it not for TfiH News special train
operating between Galveston and Houston, de-
parting at 8.45 a. m., mail matter for points on
the Texas and New Orleans railway and eastern
points, for the Houston and Texas Central rail-
way, the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
railway and for the Houston East and West Texas
railway, as well as passengers for the same routes,
would of necessity fail to connect at Houston, ex-
cept by leaving on the night trains.
The morning International and Great Northern
Houston train does not arrive at destination until
10.40 a. m., and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
morning train is scheduled to arrive in Houston
at a. m. Thus the Houston and Texas Central
no. Ihbound, leaving Houston at 8 a. m., the Gal-
veston, Harrisburg and San Antonio west-
bound at 7.02 a. m., the Texas and New
Orleans eastbound at 5.50 a. m., and the
Houston East and West Texas at 8.30 a. tn., de-
part prior to the arrival of the regular trains
&om Galveston, and connection can only be made
therewith by utilizing The News special which
arrives at the Grand Central depot in Houston at
6.35 a. m.
Therefore, due to the enterprise of Thi Nbw»,
mail matter for points on the lines enumerated,
deposited in the Galveston postofflce after 7.46 p.
m., is dispatched by Tub News special and
reaches destination twelve hours earlier than were
this train not in operation. Furthermore, pas-
sengers wishing to go to Beaumont, Orange, Hemp-
stead, Navasota, Bryan, Eagle Lake, Columbus,
or other points contiguous to Galveston on the
railways specified, by utilizing The News special
con transact their business and return home the
same day, otherwise they would 7ieces»arily be
absent from home a night and a day.

OFF THE FLATFOHM FOIi PARTY AND
NOT FOR COUNTRY.
So it seems that Spoakor Crisp has been
trying to couvort Mr. Cievoland to tho gradu-
ated income tax schomo of tho spoils olemont
of tho democratic party. He or somo other
congressman of his school has actually boon
plying tho prosidont with tracts, setting forth
tho scheme of their faction to increase tho fis-
cal glut that, according to their theory of ex-
ceedingly extravagant political economy, they
havo a right to divido amongst themselves.
Mr. Crisp recently visited the president and
was subsequently interviowod by The News'
Washington correspondent, llo believes that
if the next congrcss will 4,ropoai tho federal
oloction laws; ropeal the 10 per cent tax on
the state banks; reform and lower tho tantT
and pass an income tax law, tho democratic
party will be good for twenty-five years' con-
trol of tho country." Mr. Crisp did not know
how tho prosidont stood on all thoso proposi-
tions. but felt sure that he favored the reduc-
tion of tho tariff and the repeal of tho 10 per
cent law. Itoynrdiug Mr. Cleveland's views of
the income tax scheme the speaker of the
house and leader of the Hill wing of tho party
said:
That is a subject ho is giving a most perioiH
thought. 1 cannot state how ho stands <.n it, but
a few Maysnifo at'ongrost-inan who is a strong bo*
liovor in it and who was a farmers' caudiduto bo-
Bid 's be ng a ddinocrat, called ou him and had a
Jong talk with him on tho income tax. This con-
gressman carried with him a ^peftch ou tho in-
come tax delivered by Robert Reed, from which
he quotod.
It will bo observed by plain pooplo who re-
member and reason that both the propositions
for which Mr. Cleveland declares himself aro
portions of the national democratic platform
adopted by tho party at Chicago. By such
peoplo it will also bo noted that the graduated
inoome tax for which Mr. Crisp and his fac-
tion aro clamoring is not Drovidod for any-
where in that platform. Mr. Crisp and his
set seem to havo forgotten both of theso im-
portant facts. Mr. Cleveland has not. Tho
Chicago platform declares for a tariff for rev-
enuo only. It is plainly required undor tho
revenue plank of the democratic piatform
that customs duties shall bo studiously ad-
justed to tho sole purposo of raising enough
revenue for tho nocossary expensos
of an economically administered gov-
ernment. This means that Buch
duties should be just so low as to touch the
normal point of adequate revenue productive-
ness, and no lower; that they should be just
so high as to touch that point, and no higher.
Democratic orators havo heretofore asserted
with vehement assuranco that the tarilT could
be materially reduced and all the necessary
rovenue secured from that soarco and tho
liquor tax at tho same time. Somo of thoso
eloquent leaders who used such assertions in
order to secure their own elections and powor
for their narty are now trying to avoid the
responsibility that thoir promises and tho
success of thoir party havo brought upon
thorn. They now insist that to reduce tho
tariff as they have proposed all along to do
will reduce tho revenue from $50,000,000 to
$100,000,000 below tho necessities of the
government. Why have they delayed so
long in telling us this? Tho platform pro-
vides for a tariff for revenue; it says nothing
of a graduated income tax for revenue. Dem-
ocratic politicians who have been be-
guiling tho country with thoir campaign
figures of spoech and of arithmetic
are now confronted with a most troub-
losome contradiction. They have prom-
ised a material reduction of tariff duties;
their platform declares in favor of a tariff
sufficiently high to raise necessary revenue.
They now claim to have discovered that to
mako tho reductions promised will leave the
government without sufficient income to pay
noceasary expenses. Mr. Crisp and others of
his persuasion, who are eager to improve upon
the republican game of tariff jugglery and
pension jobbery, now propose to mako good
their promises to Paul by robbing Petor. They
boldly declare their purpose .to step off tho
Chicago platform and to fasten tho fangs of
spoliatory taxation into the energy and thrift
and tho accumulated and useful savings of the
country. What does a little thing like a na-
tional platform amount to with them after
they are in office and power? Apparently
nothing. Apparently their highest motive is
through their party to "control the country
for tho next twenty-five years." So it would
soom that, according to their political cate-
chism, party is not for country, but country is
for party, its bosses and beneficiaries.
The democratic platform declares for a
tariff for revenue and not for a graduated in-
como tax for revenue.
BE A MAN IF YOU WANT TO WIN.
The relief that President Cleveland must
havo felt after ho had barred his doors against
officeseekers can only be appreciated by those
who have been placed in a similar position.
At least it is reasonable to infer this, for it was
not until that crowd was shut out and the hall
and stairways were swept that ho could quiet-
ly turn and propound this conundrum: "Mr.
Secretary, where was I at?" If anything
wero astonishing in these days it might be
wonderful to conjecture how men who fool
themselves qualified to fill any office within
the gift of the president could
have the brass, impudence, cheek,
or whatever you ploase to call it, to thrust
themselves upon the chief executive of the
nation and in many instances almost domand
recognition—and position. It shows a lack of
respect if not a downright want of sense. It
shows that when a man has an office bee in
his bonnot ho will stoop low enough in some
instances to totally ignore the proprieties that
should bo observed even in political circles,
and it must be acknowledged that they aro
nono too exalted. Ono would naturally sup-
pose that men who respect themselves would
not crowd themselves where they had reason
to believe they would not be welcomed,
but that everlasting bonnet bee seems
to spur many to act in a vory abject and
servile manner. If a man who has it in his
power to grant or withhold favors should hap-
pen to bo easily worried, not to say contrary,
it iB reasonable to suppose that when too much
pressed ho might throw himsolf on the defen-
sive and not grant what ho might undor leas
annoying circumstances. Be this as it may
thero ia no doubt whatever that many men

THE STATE PRJD3S.
What the Papers Throughout tho Stats
Are Talking About.
The Brenham Banner says:
Slowly but surely the women aro getting
thoro. Twenty-ono states have granted them
sulfrago in matters pertaining to the public
schools Tho income tax is strictly a dem-
ocratic idea, advocated by Thomas Jefferson
in the early history of this country. He be-
hoved that a graded incomo tax Bhould be im-
posed upon large incomes, and that the rate
should bo increased in proportion to the size
of the incomes.
The compiler of this column iB flattered by
the regrets expressed by sevoral papers at his
absonco from the last meeting of the press
association, and ho regrets that he missed
seeing tho many old friends who were present
and the opportunity to mako new acquaint-
ances. Probably, if ho lives, he will be able
to attend tho reunion next year. Judge Nor-
ton fills tho role of Nestor admirably.
The La Porto Chronicle calls attention to
the fact that from Galveston to Liverpool is
615 miles shorter than from any other Amer-
ican port.
The Chronicle remarks:
The craze for public monoy in all depart-
ments—national, state and municipal—will
swamp tho government and people in finan-
cial ruin if it grows in the future as it has in
tho last decade. There is a wild, unholy hunt
after money by legislative assemblies,
county and municipal authorities; by
commissions, boards and officeholders,
not in ono state, but in all the
btates, until tho hunt for "publio plunder"
has almost becorno a fine art. The taxpayor
groans under his burdens, imposed by his pub-
lic sorvauts, and licks tho hand that robs him
of his toil. Wo commend tho following from
The Galveston News:
Here the Chroniclo copies an editorial from
The News of tho stupendous and growing
evil alludod to, and appealing to the poople to
put on tho brakos and prevent extortions that
have already impaired the valuos of property
and labor and threaten general bankruptcy
unless chocked.
Tho Chronicle interprets tho meaning of
Bhoes beyond their use for footwear:
The delivery of a shoe was anciently used as
a testimony in transferring possossion. A
man pluckod off his shoe and aave it to his

havo obtained had thoy boon loss persistent,
for a man, though a prosidont of thoso lluitod
States, is still human and atfeotod by tho saino
influonoos that othor mon aro. Elevating a
man to a high position doos not change his
natural inclinations or mako him any tho less
huinnn. Ono thing is certain—and it would
bo well to boar tho fact in mind—that thoso
who havo secured positions from tho prosidont
in most instancos simply filed thoir applica-
tions, togothor with such indorsements as thoy
could obtain, and thon retired and waited
for a summons. Thoso who havo hung
around tho capitol or persisted in thrusting
their applications forward havo vory little to
show for thoir labor. A man who has made
himsolf an eye*soro or a boro stands but a
slim ctianco thoro or olsowhore, if ho is in
need of favors. Evon congressmen weakon
thoir chances and those of their friends by
dogging the president iu thoir bohalf. A
genteel application woll backed, and that alone,
will go much further than an aggressivo pol-
icy, or one that is calculatod to annoy. Bow-
ing, scraping, bosooching and fawning do not
go far in tho Cleveland family, and tho sooner
oflicesoekors realize this fact tho mora likely
thoy will bo to succeed.
The News believes that its plea for oconomy
in public oxponditureshas gouohomo in moro
places than one, and that somo results of this
old-timo democratic preaching aro aeon eyon
in city and town councils of tho state.
THE WHISKERS EDICT.
Tho lato fad which has seizod the loading
Now York hotole, "because it's Hmglish, you
know," of requiring the waiters to shavo their
faces, including their upper lips, is not as yet
a howhng success, and is not likely to inato-
rializo at lightning speed in this free and whis-
kerod country. Why, it took old England half
a century to bring about that reform—if it
can bn dignified with that name—and waiters,
or sorvants, if you ploaso, are tnuchoasior con-
trolled there than here; and France, aftor
making a persistent attempt to secure smooth
faces, had to abandon the effort. How, then,
can it bo expected that here, whore every man
is a sovoroign and a lord of creation and thun-
doratiou when ho turns himsolf loose, any rule
can bo enforced whoroby a man is to mar his
beauty in his own estimation by losing his
beard and mustache! It simply can't bo done.
No, a hundrod times no. If a waiter man has
fallen in love with his side whiskers and
upper lip ornament ho will much sooner
throw up hia job and change his profession if
need bo than sacrifice them, or even curtail
them. Why, the fear of losing theso natural
oruamonts, which keep tho flies from the skin
and strain buttormilk, has, without doubt,
kept men out of tho ponitentiary, aud if per-
sisted in will keop thorn out of tho Now York
hotols. If it bocotnes necessary the manufac-
turers of bear's groaso, hair dye and mous-
tache pomatum will all come to tho rescuo of
theso waitors should the soap and razor
makers exhibit any signs of strength. There
aro some things that tho groat city of Now
York can't do and this is ono of them. The
laugh of the hotol maids when this anti-hair
proclamation wont roverborating through the
halls aroused tho indignation of the waiters
from the bottom to the top, and a state of
turmoil has ever since existed and woe be unto
all barbers that are caught in tho gloam-
ing after tho dining rooms havo been sot in
order!
It is apprehended that the recent meeting
of the woman suffragists of Texas has added
nothing to tho strongth of tho movement. It
was largely an inopportune airing of stereo-
typed invective against churches and other in-
stitutions that have for centuries been affec-
tionately regardod by womon in general as
their bost frionds and strongest protectors.

Tho Sealy Nows says of a modorn instance
of nice points in law:
A caso has just boon decided in tho court of
criminal appeals at Austin which aptly illus-
trates tho inconsistency and even nonnenso of
the law as it may be twisted: W. Rood vs.
state, from Newton; unlawfully brand.ng year-
ling not his own. The failure of tho court to
charge that possession of the yearling for four
years, using and claiming it as hia own, mado
it hia property, is assigned as error. There is
nothing in tho rocord calling for this charge.
He had boon in possession of tho yearling's
mother four years, but nevor claimed it, but
held it as an ©stray. The charge given was
not oxeepted to and was sufficient. Affirmed.

The North Galveston Journal says:
Tho woodenwaro factory received from the
lumber district of Trinity 30,000 feet of logs
this week. This timbor was brought across
the bay by a tug boat and landed at tho lower
wharf, from whenco it was hauled to the fac-
tory and will Boon be converted into baskets,
berry boxes, otc., ready for ship-
ment. . ..Among tho iaws of the lato lamented
Texas legislature is the proscription of rail-
road ticket brokers, known as "anti-scalpers
law." A former legislature triod to proscribe
thodrummor by taxing him to death, but tho
drummer didn't stay down. It rotnains to bo
seen whether tho buying and selling of rail-
road tickots can bo mado illegitimate. If it
sticks then the scalper must go.
Tho Alvin Sun prints a list of soventy-six
buildings erected there iu the last twelve
months and exclaims:
Now houses are springing up like magic;
new people coming in and the land for miles
around being bought, plowed up and set to
pear troes. What a grand scenery we will
havo in a fow years, when all tho poar orchards
planted and being planted grow up and
show up.
The Sun reports a contract that may be void,
as contrary to good morals, It is not only a
bet but a hindrance to matrimony, which is
commended of St. Paul to bo honorable
among all men, and, as tho prayer book says,
not to be entered into utiadvisedly or lightly,
but roverontly, discreetly, adviaodly, soberly
and in the fear of God:
The following contract was entered into be-
tween Messrs. P. C. Helt and Frank White,
two of Alvin's society loaders: "I, F. C.
Helt, do promise upon my word of honor to
pay Frank White the sum of $25, with 10 per
cent interest, should I marry boforo said
Frank White, money to bo paid on date of my
marriage." Signed by F. C. Helt and wit-
nessed by B. L. Osgood. Frank White gave
Mr. Helt a like contract and tho amusing part
of the whole affair is that both the young men
are said to be engaged.
The Beevillo Picayuno says:
Every Texas farmer might make himself in-

thero is always "room at tho top."... .Glori-
ous nows—tho Texas legislature has adjourned.
Tho Navasota Patriot says:
As a general rule detectives aro men of
worso character than thoso who violate tho
law openly. Within its boundaries the state
is sovereign as to internal matters and It has
a force of officers sufficiently efficient to keep
the peace and enforco tho laws. It is con-
trary to the spirit of American institutions
and laws to execute and euforce laws by hired
thugs from other countries or states. Keep
the Pinkortons out by law. If you do not the
brave, law-abiding citizens of Texas will.
The Pinkertons and other professional spies
aoting without authority of law aro no better

of J. S. Hogg as a governor, but it would
not swop him off for Pennoyer of Oregon if
tho stato of Oregon was thrown in When
Governor Hogg began slashing at legislative
appropriations thoro must havo been a gap in
his blade that struck that part of tho bill
which provided for $79,200 for the defunct
railroad commission.
The Corpus Christi Caller says:
Tho land boomers, homo wreckers and gov-
ernment destroyors aro vory anxious that
Texas should bo divided. But the vast major-
ity of the patriotic citizens of this country aro
quite willing for this grand stato to remain
ono and indivisible forever.
The urchin who, at tho close of his first
term of Bchool, repeats tho speech, "You'd
scarco expect one of my ago to speak in pub-
lic on the stago," and is applauded by his
listeners, onjoys all tho ploasures of gratified
ambition and looks forward to the time when
he will receive tho cheers of crowds at apoliti-
cal meeting or win "the praiso of academic
senates and a namo that famo on her imper-
ishable scroll shall deeply grave," but the
Brownwood Bullotin warns its readers against
the delusion and folly of such things. It
quotes the remark, "If you are a parent and
have a son who is dear to you, bring him up
in such a manner that he will nevor be a
speech maker," and adds:
"The words contain good advice to
parents who are building golden air
castles for the budding gonius of their sons.
Tho world now haa a surfeit of broken down
Bpeeoh makers—mon who owo their bankrupt
fortune in life to the misdirected ambition of

Garner's Monkey Business.
Reading Horald.
Word comes that Prof. Garner, who went to
Africa a good while ago, armed with a phono-
graph and othor apparatus in order to pick up
tho language of monkeys, has arrivod on the
coast, and that ho has been entirely successful
in picking up monkey lingo. He has succeed-
ed in recording over 200 monkey words, which
he estimates is fully two-tliirda of the whole
vocabulary. In addition to this he has got
several monkeys with him which are learning
to talk in other languages, odo of which can
swoar a littlo iu German. Prof. Garnor's
monkey business is likely to bring him famo,
but it probably won't do much good to the
monkeys or to mankind. If they can utter as
much as 200 words, however, they might be
trained sufficiently to become members of
Now York's 400. An intelligent monkey could
go through the evolutions of that organization
woll enough, and thoso who aro now ongaged
in it could bo utilized in other occupations.
Not Troubled About Europe.

The report that not many peoplo aro coming

MISSISSIPPI WHITE CAPS.
FORTY-SEVEN 8URRENDER TO JUDGE
0HRISMAN AT BR00KHAVEN.
Eaoh Pleads Guilty and Relioa oa tho
Oourt'B Moroy—The Whole Num-
ber Flaoed Under Bonds.
Bhookhavix, Mim., May 12.—To-day'haa
boon ono of thrilling intorent to tho pooplo of
this country and county, Tho last act in tho
white cap drama was on tho programmo for
tho day. Early in tho morning numbora of
last wook's mob bugan to arrive from their
hoine» in tho country. Ono could almost spot
oach offender as ho mot him on the streot by
an inexpressible anxiety depicted on his face.
Tho major part of the mob, however, remained
on the outskirts of tho town awaiting tho re-
turn of friends who wore to report to thoui the
situation.
Aftor much manouvoring end various offorts
without avail to learn from Judge Chrisman
and othors what would be done with thoso
who threw themselves on the mercy of the
court, tho committoo roturned to their frionds
and adviuod them to coum and surrender and
take their chances.
At 12 o'clock numbers rode in, tied their
horsos to tho courtyard fonco and onterod the
courtroom to confer with thoir choson spokes-
man, Kov. J. II. Qambrell. Tho court had ad-
journed for dinner, and taking advantage of
tho recess Mr. Gambrell registered every
man's name, and asked each ono
tub following questions!
"Do you make this surrender and plea for
mercy in good faith?"
"Do you protniso whatever may bo tho dooi-
sion of the court to abandon all lawlessness
and live peaceable and ordorly livos, uphold-
ing the laws and courts in the country to tho
end of your lifo?"
To theso questions forty-sevon moo answered
most solomnly, "I do."
About 1 o'clock court was called to ordor,
when Mr. Gumbroll roso and said: "Forty-
seven of thoso who participated in the un-
seemly episode of last week aro hero to sur-
render to the court. They came, seeking not
to justify thoir unlawful conduct of last
Thursday, but confessing with shamo, and, as
I believe, bitter regret their terrible ileod."
Then he read a list of the names, asking
each man to answer. All answered aud Mr.
Gambrell began his speech by saying:
"I desire to ask tho court to place each of
these parties under a peace bond for twelve
months, and require of thom a bond to appear
here for final disposition of this wholo un-
fortunate alfnir at such time as your honor
thinks best. Your honor, boar with mo while
I state my position in this deplorable affair
and mention some extenuating circumstances
on bohalf of the unfortunate defendants now
at the bar.
"On that memorablo Thursday, whon I
believed that tho law and your honor's
lifo alike were in imminent peril, I hesitated
not one moment to come to the resoua with
gun in hand. I was ready
to daite and die
if noed be, in behalf of the iaws that, as a reg-
istered voter, I am sworn to support, and in
an effort to shield your patriotio and valuable
lifo from tho missile of death. I am here to-
day in bohalf of theso defendants, not becauso
I am in the least sympathy with the appalling
offense they havo committed, but because I
think the plan I havo suggostod will prove a
happy solution of tho wholo trouble, connorve
all the ends of justice and save theso offenders
to their families and make of thom good cit-
izens. What I did on that terrible Thursday
I mako no apology for, but if a like oinor-
gency ever arises 1 will repeat my conduot of
that day with perfect cheerfulness.
"Those defendants met me here that day,
and aro not at all deceived as to my opinion
of their conduct. Thoy know that I abhorred
their wiokod doed with every fiber of my
soul.
bxtinuatino circumstances.
"First, I bog to say those poople are Ignor-
ant; not many of them read papers or books.
Their thoughts have been given to thoir little
farms and home interests, and they have but
picked up such floating nows as may bo picked
up in a noighborhood visit. A simple-minded
poople, juBt the prey tho wicked, designing
rascal delights to draw into his snaro to ac-
complish his malicious purposes, are these
people. I believe they havo been victimized
by some scoundrel yot unrovealed, but whoso
idontity I devoutly hope the process of time
will bring to light and the most condign pun-
ishment.
"In my judgment this whole affair lays a
tremendous emphasis upon the Importance of
the most onlightened among us in cultivating
a broad-minded intelligent citizenship. May
wo havo tho wisdom to heed tho admonition.
"Second, false and most irritating reports
wero communicated to thoso simplo minded
peoplo. They wero told that their incarcer-
ated friends wore arbitrarily hold without
authority of law; their witnoBBes wore not ad-
mitted to tho grand jury rooms, etc. All this
stirred their simple natures to fury. Thoy
have descended from tho stook that rosisted
the arbitrary suspension of tho writ of haboas
corpus in tho years long gono.
"Third, tho poverty and holplessnoss of
their friends and thoir families goaded them
to madness. I appoal for mercy becauso they
solemnly promiso that they will henceforth
live as becomes good citizens and support tho
law and the courts. Thoir depondent wives
and children need their services in order to
havo a living. To take somo of these mon
away from thoir families means simply to
put those families upon stinted charity. With
proper help and influence most if not all of
these defendants may be added to tho rank of
good citizens. Mississippi needs to have
ues good citizenship,
very largely reinforced.
"Finally, it has been said by some that
this whole trouble is tho result of political
heresy. I feel authorized to Bay that the
whole affair is as innooont of all political
questions as a monkey is of a soul. I have
little patience with a man who will undertake
to turn the common troubles of tho whole
people to his party advantage. Every man
arrested in this county charged with white-
capism is, by his own declaration, a lifelong
democrat.
"On the other hand, of tho eighteen good
and true mon composing the grand jury that
presented bills against those arrested partios
but eight votod the domocratio ticket last
fall."
The portions of Mr. Gambrell's speech in
which ho represented the povorty and condi-
tion of the families of many of the guilty
wero very pathetic and moved many in the
audience to tears.
He was followed by J. M. Woems, pastor of
the Brookhaven Mothodist church, who also
made a strong appoal for clemency. Dr.
Weems paid a glowing tribute to Goneral
Grant, but for whose magnanimity in the
hour of victory he did not bolieve tliero would
be a reconciliation between tho north and
south to this day. His consideration for a de-
feated too won tho hearts of southern men,
and
a merciful and conservative policy
toward theso mon would redeem them to good
citizenship and provo the wisest course.
Dr. Weems was followed by Rev. J. L.
Price, a country proacher, who is a noighbor
of a large number of the men. He made a
special plea for the young men in the mob.
Judge Chrisman said ho had been deeply
impressed by the remarks of the speakers. Ho
ontortained personally not the slightest ill will
toward any living man on account of what had
occurred, and could therefore act without per-
lonal prejudice. Ha was willing to lean as far
to tho sldo of mercy In the caso as « just ad-
ministration of law would allow, but could go
no further. He would, therefore, adopt tho
ugguatlona that had been made, and piano
sach of the defendants undor a $500 bond to
keep tho peace one yonr and tako thn personal
cognizance of oach in tho sum ,of $100 to ap-
pear at the noxt term of court to unswor in-
dictments against them for participating in
the mob rule,
Tho judge also said that oriticlsm or harsh
treatment of nny inomhor of tho grand jury
was not to bo toloratod, and highly compli-
mented the grand jury on its efllcioncy. Tho
forty-aovon men wore thon required to como
forward nud each man gave the required bond.
Tho courtroom was paokad during tho hear-
ing of the case and when the judgment of
court was pronounced thero was
a general high Of relief.
as it was said that what has beon tho most ex-
citing and remarkable ohapter in Linooln
county history wns practically at an end.
Man who, a fow days ago wore armed to tho
tooth and ready to shoot each other, shook
hands aud thero wero many mutual congrat-
ulations.
Opinion is divided as to tho wisdom of
Judge Chrisman's action, but a decided
majority of those heard to express opinions
think tho conservative oourso adopted will re-
store peace and quiet and work better results
than n harsher policy.
Much of tho sympathy for tho indicted
white caps the mob camo to release was un-
doubtedly aroused by tho bolief that thoy wero
innoccnt and wero being persecuted.
Tho forty-sovon mon who composod to-day's
crowd wero either farmers or mon who work
about the Buwmills for a livelihood. All are
poor and some looked as though they wero
often acquainted with the extremes of pov-
erty. Mon of middle age and young mon
wore about equally divided. It was observed
that there was not a single man in the crowd
who was of any note or established character
for intelligonco aud high standing in the por-
tion of the county from which thoy came.
The Timos-Domocrat correspondent talked
to a number of tho most intelligent members
of the mob and questioned them as to their
movements aftor the hostilo demonstration on
tho 4th inatant. Every one solomnly assorted
thut tho mob disbanded aftor leaving town
that day and was never organized for the pur-
pose of renewing tho attack again, or even
ontortained such a purpose, all reports to tho
contrary notwithstanding.
HAW AIL
The Sandwioh Islands.
The group of fifteen islands constituting tho
kingdom lie in the Pacific ocean, but only
Beven of thom aro of much account, to wit:
Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai
andNiihnu. Hawaii is a constitutional mon-
archy. King Kalakaua I, who became king
February 12,1871, diod at San Francisco Jan-
uary 20, 1891. His succossor to the throne
was PrincessLydia KainekainohaLiliuokalani,
tho eldest Bister of Kalakaua, who was born
in 1838 and wns married to his excellency
John O. Dominos, governor of Oahu, who
died in 1891. The parliament consists of a
house of nobles and a house of representa-
tives. Tho house of nobles is composed of
twenty-four members, oach of whom must
have an inoomo of $3000 a yoar, and who aro
elected for six years, one-third going out
every two years. The ministors aro ox-officio
mom bers of this house. Tho house of repre-
sentatives consists of twenty-four members,
olocted for two yoars. Tho two houses sit in
joint session, and must bo called together
evory two years. They are a privy council,
the members of which aro appointed by tho
king, and a cabinet consisting ot ministers of
foreign affaird, tho interior and finance, and
attorney general. The judiciary authority is
vested in a supremo court, oonaisting of a
chtof justice and throe associato justicos. Tho
regular naval and military forces consist of
250 men and a volunteer force (the Honolulu
nilos) of 250 mon. All natives are liablo to
sorve if called upon. All forms of religion
are permitted aud protected. Nearly all tho
natives are Christians. Tho Hawaiian An-
glican church has a resident bishop in Hono-
lulu. Thero are also a Roman Catholic bishop
and ministers ofvarious other denominations.
The total area of the islands is 6U77 square
miles. By the census of 1890 the population
of the Hawaiian islands wns reported as being
89,990, to wit: Natives, 34,43l>; Chinese, 15,-
301; half-castes, G188; A mericans, 1928; Eng-
lish, 1341; Germans, 1031; Portuguese, 8IJ02;
Frenoh, 70; Norwegians, 227; native children
of foreign parents, 7495; other nationalities,
419. Total, 89,990.
Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, the capi-
tal of the kingdom and tho most important
city, has a population of 22,907. Other towns
aro Kilo, on tho island of Hawaii, with a pop-
ulation of 5000, and Lahaina, on the island of
Mahui.
Sugar is the chief product of the country,
and is produced on plantations owned princi-
pal ly by corporations. In 1890 forty compa-
nies, mostly American, engaged in this indus-
try, possessed a capital of $28,400,990, and
thero were, besides, twenty-seven unincorpo-
rated mills and plantations, with a capital of
$5,020,000. In January, 1890, the area of cano
cultivation in all these plantations was 64,149
acres, and the crop of 1889-90 was estimated
at 127,410 tons. Rice, bananas, hides and
wool are also producod, and the cultivation
of coffee is increasing. In 1889 the acreage
of the forty-four rieo plantations was 7420 and
the production 14,840 tous.
The commorco of tho Hawaiian islands is
principally with the United States. Almost
tho entire exports of these islands aro taken
by the United States, less than 1 por cent be-
ing sent to other countries.
In the budget for tho biennial porlod ending
March 81,1892, the revenues are estimated at
i $2,652,850 and the oxpouditure* at $4,870,171.
The bonded debt on March 31,1890, amounted
to $1,934,000, and tho interest charges and
other dues brought the total indebtedness at
that date up to $2,881,000.
Steamers counoct the islands with tho Amer-
ican continent, Australasia and China. Thoro
are fifty-six miles of railway in tho islands.
There are 250 miles of telegraph, and nearly
every family in Honolulu has a telephone.
Thero are fifty-eight poatofflees. Oold coins
of tho United Statos are logal tender for more
than $10 nnd Hawaiian and United States sil-
ver coins for smaller amounts.
The Neutral Strip P
San Diego, Tex., May 11.—To The News:
Will some of the readers of The News en-
lighten the undersigned as to the whereabouts
of tho neutral ground mentioned on page 22,
Pennybacker's Texas history. She says:
"It seemed that war was certain, for Spain
not only olaiined Texas, but even wanted to
cross the Sabino and take a part of Louisiana.
At last tho matter was peacefully arranged by
making the land botween the Sabino and the
Arroya Hondo neutral. As iu this strip of
ground no law ruled, it soon becamo the homo
of criminate and desperadoes,whose sole occu-
pation was robbery."
Where was the Hondo creek? In Louisiana
or west of the Sabine? What is the crook then
called Hondo now called?
It could not bo the Hondo creek west of San
Antonio, for this would mako tho "strip" as
wide as an empire. Luthek Coyner.

what uourse of reasoning Mr. Gladstone has

is safo to say that ho has novor written any-

New York Recorder: Sitting in tho chair of

ence of the Groat Judge to whom all socrets

is no reason for behoving that they aro wrong

the effects of morphine poisoning; but, with
