On Subjects of the Past and Present—The

Secretary Blaine has been stopping at the
I rand Pacific hotel in the same parlor, No.
5,that lio£coe Conkling occupied during the
uaticnal convention of 18S0. This fact was
brought to light by the accidental rum-
maging over of some old papers there. The
Srant headquarters were down in the
i'almer house during that important week,
out Conkling, Arthur and Bharpe had the
hree parlors—11, 13 and 15. Seven years
>:ave intervened since Conkling occupied
lie chamber, but if Mr. Blaine had been
iware of the singular coincidence perhaps
e would have asked for apartments with
ifferent associations. If the famous ex-
ecretary had walked across the coridor he
vould have found room 41, where in this
ame campaign Hale and Frye ran the

btained from the release of men whom
utside clubs wanted worse than the old

onal bank. The other large holders are
Al. Spaulding, president of the club; Cap-
ain Anson, the famous first baseman;

he stock was very much scattered. It was
ubscribed by public spirited men who ex-
acted no very splendid return from their

nous and the stock began to pay such
eavy dividends it became good collateral,

MEXICAN ITEMS.
The Two Republics, published at the City
of Mexico, says:
Some ot our local contemporaries do not
telish the idea of an American prizefight
n this city. The fight to which they object
*nd which they characterize as barbarous
may or may not take place. But why should
,-eople object who enjoy bull fights'/ Both
tre certainly barbarous. Prize fighters
ometimes get badly bruished and present
<i repugnant spectacle, while the spectators
f bull fights are treated to the sight
f bulls tortured and covered with gore
• nd horses dragging their entrails across
he rirg. Bull-fighters display courage,
ecause they take the risk of getting hurt,
^ile the prize-fighter is almost sure to be
urt. In our opmion both spectacles
hould be prohibited by law, for both are
■arbarous. The enthusiasm for bull fights
as commenced to decline in this city. Tho
wo rings on the paseo have been com-
elled to pool their issues, and will in the
uture alternate their spectacles, thus ac
nowledcingthat there is not sufficient sup-
port for two rings. Considering that but
wo fights have been given in each of these
ings, the action of their owners is signili
ant and confirms the opinion which has
;een freely expressad that within a short
ime bull fights will be patronized by but
n insignificant portion of the Mexican
. ublic.
Durinn the year 1SSC the state of Durango
pent $10,07!) il in endeavoring to kill or
apture Eraclio Bernal, tho prince of mod-
• rn highwaymen. The state of Sinaloa
probably spent double that sum during the
-ame period, and the total multiplied, the
oumberof years Eraclio has been actively
pursued, would make the neat amount of
•120,000, and this is independent of the ex-
enditures of the federal government mado
n the same undertaking, so that it may ba
stimated that the pursuit of this highway-
man has cost altogether about $180,000.
The report of the department of foreign
clations of Mexico, which has Just been
■-sued, contains much valuable matter. It
mbracee the diplomatic correspondence
onducted with Germany, the Argentine
Republic, Belgium, Costa Rica, Chili, Spain
jjid the United States. The importance at-
ached to the relations with the United
States and the large correspondence which
hese relations made necessary are shown
by the fact that 903 pages of the report
are devoted to American affairs. The
lull correspondence in ihe Cutting and
"Rebecca" cases is given, as well as that in
relation to the expeditions of Generals
^rook and Miles, and the many claims of
more or less importance made by citizens
of one country against the government of
the other. The most notable features about
the documents contained in this report are
the uniform ability and diplomatic skill
with which the Hon. lgnacio Mariseal has
treated the many and varied questions
which have arisen, and the volume of cor-
respondence now given to the public con-
firms that aentleman's title to be placed

EDUCATIONAL.
Dr. Henry D. Coggswell, the 8an Fran-
cisco millionaire, has given $1,000,000 for
the endowment of a school in San Fran-
cisco, where trades will be taught to any
boy or girl who is qualified to be admitted
as a student.
The Journal of Education says: The
fiftieth annual report of the Massachusetts
board of education is the most important of
all the compilations and utterances of that
body. Secretary Dickinson's report shows
conclusively that it has been constant, and
changes that are to be permanently benefi-
cial are a growth that requires time and
persistent effort for their accomplishment.
In the very nature of the case the schools
depend upon public support, and progress
in the administration of their affairs must
depend on tho progress effected in public
opinion: and school progress, to be healthy
and wise, must be slow. His paper upon the
Province of the Public School and his paper
on the Principles of Teaching are praised.
His reference to the subject of temper-
ance includes the following: "Temperance,
in its unrestricted sense, includes all that
is meant by complete self control. Self-
control implies knowledge of the truth, an
inclination to do what ought to be done and
a strong will. By a knowledge of these
things the teacher may be guided in the
performance of his most important duties.
The statutes of the commonwealth require
all instructors of youth to use their best
endeavors to impress on the minds df
children and youth committed to their care
the principles of all the virtues, among
which temperance holds au exalted place."
Review schools are being held in the
counties of northern Iowa. They meet
from two to four weeks previous to the ses-
sion of the normal institute, and have for
their object a careful and critical study of
the elementary principles ot the common
branches, that methods and their appli-
ances to the developing mind may ba
studied to better advantage at the normal
institute.

FRESH EVIDENCE OFFERED
IN REFUTATION OF ASSERTIONS MADE
Regarding an Alleged Association of Assas-
sins, Robbers, Murderers and
Plunderers.
To The Pews,
Grove ton, Trinity County, Tex., April
29.—In your issue of the 23th instant, under
the head of Association of Assassins, from
Woedville, Tyler county, appears an article
which for slanderous falsehoods, perver-
sion of truth and misrepresentation of
facts is ahead of anything I ever saw pub-
lished.
The writer starts out and says upon the
Neches river, in a county noted for lawless-
cess and ciime, there is a secret organiza-
tion of robbers, thieves and murderers,
larded together for the purpose of plun-
der.
In the first sentence there is as base a
falsehood as ever was uttered, written or
thought, for the records of the county show
the morals and honesty of its citizens to be
as good as any in the state.
As for the organization being organized
for plunder and robbery, that is false as
hell itself, and the one who wrote the
article Bhould be sued and prosecuted for
libel. In fact the whole article, from be-
ginning to end, is a fabrication of false-
hoods and a misrepresentation of facts.
The records of the facts are as follows:
The said Charles H. Slater did once live
in this county,and lived here in and around
the said neighborhood for several years,
and was noted for being too familiar with
bis neighbor's stock. As for his buying or
owning land, he never did, and he, in con-
nection with one or two pals of liis, was in-
vited by the good citizens in mass meeting
assembled to vacate the county. Upon said
notice Mr. Slater did move just into Polk
county, and after he (Slater) had moved
out he, with two other men,
came back in the neighborhood armed to
the teeth, pretending to huut cattia (when
it was a known fact that he only owned oue
cow and calf), and he with the other
two men was told where his cow was by
several gentlemen, and instead of going
the direction he was told, would go directly
another, and ride up to every house in the
country and then ride off without making
any wants or business known. This pro-
ceeding was kept up by the three for two
days or more, until they were met by some
unknown parties and the fight came off,
which resulted in the death of three horses
and two men. Slater being one. The said
Slater ran two miles, and then rode horse-
back about six to his home near Corrigan,
where he died the next morning.
Aslfor the fourteen men in this county
who stand indicted for his murder in Polk
county I can say in truth and from personal
acquaintance that they are honorable,
honest, reliable and good men, and the ma-
jority of them stand without a stain or
blemish upon their character as men or
citizens, and the one who was styled presi-
dent is a minister of the gospel, over 60
years of age, and no man can show a better
and purer christian character. But his
name, I suppose, was first signed to the in-
vitation for said Slater to move, as it was a
known fact that he (Slater) and one of his
confederates had been depredating on the
old gentleman's hogs for some time.
»Kow, the whole article was written to
mold prejudice in the minds of the public
just before the trial of the men from this
county, which will occur in June next. I
have epitomized the facts as much as pos
sible, and hope you will allow this to ap
pear in your columns. Citizen.
AN OPEN LETTER
To the Executive Committee of the Prohibition
Party in Texas.
To The News.
Brownwood, Tex., April 27.—Without
preamble or expression of the views of
parties who are beginning to agitate the
question, I for myself and others in this
section of the state would like an unequivo-
cal answer to the following questions:
1. Was the prohibition party organ-
ized in Texas for political purposes or for
the sole object of prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating drinks?
2. Why do not the executive com-
mittee dt clare their object and purposes in
Ihe present campaign?
3. Is it the intention of the prohibition
party to keep up its political organization
in opposition to the democratic partv after
ihe election in August?
An official answer by you will relieve us
ot much complication, and if you really
want prohibition, and not office, thousands
of democrats will help you carry the
amendment, and still remain intact in the
democratic party. Respectfully,
G. I. Goodwin.
A Faithful Dog.
A remarkable case of animal sagacity
has for the last few days been perplexing
the people living in the neighborhood of
Calvary and Bellefontaine cemeteries. Sun-
day morning last a young man walking
alorg the Bellefontaine road noticed
a sack and an old coat lying on
the road, almost opposite the en-
trance to Calvary. On going closer, he
saw a large dog lying between the sack—
which was partially filled with oats—and
the coat. As he approached the animal
sprung up suddenly and snapped at him
viciously. He retreated to a respjectful dis-
tance and waited until other passers by
stopped to look at the canine. Another,
with more courage than the young man who
was frightened away, stole up to the sack,
ai d as he was about to lift it the leg of his
pantaloons was torn by the dog's teeth,
ai d nothing bat a pair of heavy boots pre-
vt nted the animal from fastening his fangs
into the calf of his leg. He sudden-
ly left the scene, wnen the dog
returned to his position, quietly chew-
ing the cloth he had nipped from
tLe man who had tried to pack up the sack.
All day Sunday the canine remained in the
middle of the road, carflfully guarding the
tack and coat, starting up with a dangerous
look in hiB eyes whenever any person tried
to approach. In the evening some of the
people in the neighborhood threw him some
meat, which he swallowed as fast as given
him. All attempts to make friends with
him proved unavailing, and he continued
to remain master of the situation. Every-
body who noticed the animal said that
he would leave before the next morning,
but the vigilant watcher had more staving
qualities than were supposed. When
Mounted Officer Hickman passed along he
dismounted and walked within a few feet
of the dog, who wagged its tail and kept
both eyes upon the newcomer. He con-
cluded that tho dog respected his calling,
and tried to reach for the coat. The canine's
looks were deceptive, however, as the offi-
cer learned when he heard a ripping noise
and saw a good size rent in the leg of his
pants. He fed the dog and rode away,
leaving the shaggy brute lord of the
road and in undisputed possession of
a space of five feet surrounding
him. Monday night and yester-
day morning! found the dog "still on deck,"
as the neighbors put it, with a tired look in
his eye, bnt with sufficient vitality to keep
the crowd out of his reach. About noon
yesterday a farmer drove down the road on
a rickety wagon, and when near the gate of
ihe cemetery the animal jumped suddenly
to his feet and wagged his tail and In other
ways gave evidence that he was feeling
good. The farmer stopped, and getting oft
the wagon picked up the coat and
sack, to the intense delight of the
dog, who jumped around the wagon
in a gleeful manner, expressing his satis-
faction with loud and gleeful barks. The
farmer explained that as he was going
home Saturday evening he dozed off into a
sleep, with the dog sitting at his side on the
seat. The wagon gave a lurch when near
the cemetery gate, when both the sack and
coat fell from the seat. The dog immedi-
ately jumped off to protect the property,
and his master was at a loss to account
for the disappearance of the coat, sack
and dog. He heard of a dog acting strange-
ly on tho road and concluded that it was
his missing canine and at once started for
the scene. There lie found all of liis missing
property. [St. Louis Republican.

Criminal Court Cases—A Quarrel Between the
City and tho Waterworks.
Brenitak, Tex., April 30.—The District
Court closed this afternoon after an eight
weeks' term. The civil docket was very
light and no cases of any importance were
tried. The last four weeks of the term were
devoted to criminal business, the result be-
ing nine felony convictions and one misde-
meanor; one new trial was granted and
three appeals were taken, and five convicts
go up—four negroes and one white, a boy
about about lti years of age convicted of
theft. Major Sam Ragsdale of Caldwell,
district attorney, has made a fine record as
an able prosecutor, this being the first term
of the courtjthat he has attended.
For the past two days there has been an
f setting time over the waterworks ques-
tion. The city has had fire service from
the water company for nearly two years
without paying one dime, a recent decision
of the Supreme Court being adverse to the
water company. The water company and
the board of aldermen can not agree as to
terms, and popular sentiment is somewhat
divided. Some favorthecity making terms
with the water company, and others favor
the chances of letting the town burn up.
The result is a good deal of bal feeling all
around. Monday may or may not afford a
solution of the question. If no agreement
is arrived at the fire hydrants will be re-
moved.
Rain is now an issue that throws water-
works, prohibition and revival meetings all
in the shade. It has threatened rain for
three days. When it comes we will have
rain. _

- Boils and
Carbuncles result from a debilitated, im-
poverished, or impure condition of the
blood. They are a source of great suffer-
ing, and arc liable to appear in large
numbers, unless overcome by the use of
some powerful alterative. Ayer's Sarsa-
parila cures these painful tumors,and also
prevents them, by removing their nause.
One year ago I suffered from Boils aud
Carbuncles, and for nearly two months
was uuable to work. 1 was entirely
Cured By
taking two bottles of Ayer's Sarsapnrilla.

For some time past, until recently, my

three bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, 1 am
entirely cured. — C. Ogdeu, Camden, X. J.
I suffered with Boils every spring, for
years, until I began taking
Ayer's Sar
gaparllla. A few bottles of this medicine
effected a permanent cure. — E. F. Lund,
