8FHDAY, JULY .
1, 1883
The Brazps Pilot , works
earnestly in behalf of the A. and
M. College.
The Houston Age has a new
head; the paper we mean, not
the editor; the editor* head is
level.
The papers In the interior arc
working earnestly tn behalf of
the proposed amendments to
the constitution.
It is stated that Henry Ward
Beecher will make a lecturing
tour in Texas next fall. He
will draw large houses.
Gov Ixclanu and Hon. H. J.
Labatt, of Galveston, delivered
short addresses to the students
ol the Prairie View Normal
school.
The San Antonio Light
makes a Strong plea in favo* of
speedy trials. It thinks that
a radical reform is needed in
our criminal system.
The Lampasas Globe is doubt-
less^ very interesting paper,
but owing to bad press work
some of thecopiesth.it come to
this office are illegible.
- ♦ - ■*»
Ex-Senator Thukman did
not favor the nomination of
Judge Hoadly for governor of
Ohio, but gives it as his opinion
that the ticket will be success-
ful.
'
The Philadelphia Record
thinks that the papers that arc
booming Judge Hoadly for the
presidency, have begun so soon
that they will boom hiin out of
sight.
The colored people at Nash-
ville, Tenn., will have none but
colored teachers in their schools;
they desire to stick close to the
color line. This is the general
sentiment of the coloJed race.
The Superintendent's associ-
ation, a higher branch of the
State Teachers association re-
commend the appointment of a
committee of three to make
suggestions as to needed-
changes of the school laws.
Work on the Arkansas river
bridge of the Texas and St.
Louis narrow guage railway is
progressing satisfactorily and
by the latter part of this month
through trains will be running
from Gatesvillc to St. Louis.
P trdow.
Itis stated there is now on
fik in the governor's office] one
hundred and thirty applications
for pardons, made generally by
penitentiary convicts. Each
one of these applicants is ac
companied by a petition and
other papers. If the governor
acts conscienciously in each
case he is compelled to devote
considerable time to an exam-
ination of the papers and to
having inquiries written. Dur-
ing the administrations of Gov*
ernors Coke, Hubbard and
Roberts a great m <ny pardons
were granted, especially was
this the case during Roberts'
term, and Roberts was severely
and frequently justly criticised
for pardoning men who*- ought
to luve been kept in ^e peni-
tentiary for the full terms to
which they)were sentenced, and
he also commuted the senten-
ces of men, who had they got
justice, would have been hang-
ed. The motives of Governor
Roberts were never questioned,
but his judgement was. His
disposition was entirely too
nicrciful. Governor Ireland
has granted quite a number of
pardons since he has been in
office, but up to this time we
have not seen the justice of a
single pardon questioned.
While it may be taken for
granted that nearly every peni-
tentiary convict has been right-
fully sentenced by the jury that
convicted him, there are cases
in which executive clemency is
not misplaced. The governor
has a great responsibility rest-
ing upon him as well as an
enormous amount of labor in
examining these applications
for pardons. In several of the
states there are boards of par-
don, whose duty it is to examine
into all applications for clemen-
cy. The action of the boa^of
pardons is final. In many cases
where petitions for the pardon
ot a convict are circulated and
men sign them as a mere mat-
ter of form, and simply because
Mewi.
The Houston Age is mistak-
en as to the Banner's plan for
utilizing the short term convicts
in making and improving wagon
roads. The Banner proposed
having the convicts worked in
the senatorial district within
which they are convicted.
The San Francisco Chroni-
cle lays ail of Paymaster Was-
son's misfortunes and subse-
quent disgrace at the door of
the great North American game
known as "draw poker." It is
a seductive pastime and has
ruined many men, and Will ruin
many rppre.
The State Teachers Associa-
tion elected Prof. Collier presi-
dent, and Prof. Rote vice presi-
dent. San Antonio was selec-
ted as the place and the last
Tuesday in June, 1884 as the
time for the next meeting. The
association adjourned on Fri-
day evening.
Wa9H Jones still continues
to be heard from; the other day
he delivered an address at the
Emancipation celebration, and
on Friday at the conclusion of
the Masonic ceremony at the
laying of the corner stone of the
Bastrop courthouse, he deliv-
ered one of his able and inter-
esting speeches.
Thk celebration of the sec-
ond anniversary of the town of
Temple was a grand affair. It
is estimated that fully ten thous-
and people took part in the af-
fair. It is stated that a disturb-
ance took place in which a good
many pistol shots were fired,
but no one is reported to have
been hurt. No mention was made
ofthe shooting in the telegraph-
ed reports.
they arc requested to d^so by
the party who has the petition
in hand. The signer of the
petition knows nothing about
the merits of the case, and such
petitions for pardon arc not in-
frequently presented bearing
the signatures of men living in
counties other than the one
from the convict for whom clem-
ency is asked, is sent. A board
of pardons would have plenty
of time to go into a thorough
and exhaustive investigation of
the merits of all applicants for
pardon, and it they performed
their duty thoroughly, none but
the deserving would be pardon-
ed.
Gov. Ireland made a short
speech before the teachers as-
sociation at Galveston. He
considered the amendments to
to the constitution relative to
Iree schools as wise and bene-
ficial and hoped that every
teacher would work for their
adoption. Speaking of the
cash balance he deprecated the
hoarding of such wealth in
idleness. The question of
taxation for school purposes
was a difficult one in conse-
quence of the rapid increase in
population and wealth. He
spoke in glowing terms of the
marked efficiency ol the Prairie
View schools and contrasted
its management and thorough-
ness with the lack and ineffi-
ciency manifest at the A. and
M. college at Bryan, though he
admitted the latter to be a good
school.
The Houston Post Publishing

lowing are the incorporators:

boys who are conspicuous lor
bad behavior.
—Levi Grant, aged 18, who

with their rifles.
—Col. Scott, one of the man-
agers of the A. and M. College,

VanWinkle, professor of math-
ematics and designing.
—The people of Jefferson

The Huntsville Item has en-
tered upon its thirty third year.
Prospects arc by no means en-
couraging and it threatens to
pull up stakes and move to a
more congenial location.
—Mexia is now on a big
boom; the city is partly lighted
with ',jas; five brick buildings are
being constructed, and a nation-
al bank will be opened for busi-
ness by the first ol August.
—Last Tuesday evening the
sheriff of Burleson county
caught a couple of escaped con-

—Th^water works at Colum-
bus are to cost £22,1 T1J and not
$2300 as erroneously stated a

poses issuing bonds to pay for
them. The water is to be ob-
tained from he Colorado river
—The Dallas papers are full
of the synagogue scandal. The
papers are publishing all the de-
tails as far as decency will per-
mit. As a general thing the
public loves scandal and will
read the particulars with an ev-
ident relish.
—The Dallas bar has peti-
tioned the judges of district
and the county court not to
hold any courts during July
and August; the bar claims
that the courts have been in

have been killed in a fight in
Chicago.
—The Waxahachie Mirror
advertises a tuan calling himself
Soule Sherrill; who professes to
he a reformed drunkard and
temperance lecturer as a fraud.
He advertised to lecture on
temperance at Waxahachie, but
at the time he was to lecture he
was too drunk to walk up stairs
To add insult to injury he beat
the Mirror out of a small print
ing bill.
—Slippery Jim, who lived in
Dallas some years and then
skipped to Cleburne and from
there to Lampasas, where he
was arrested, proyes to be Rut
Christian who killed a fellow
student in Boone county, Mis-
touri, and was sentenced to fif-
ty years in the penitentiary. He
served five years and escaped.
A heavy reward was offered for
him and he will be returned to
old quarters.
—Rev. J. M Stevenson and
Prof. Shillman, of San Saba,and
also Rev. McDonald, were all
poisoned by eating potted or
canned beef f r dinner; they
were travelling and bought the
beef at a country store. At last
accounts the two first named
were in a precarious condition.
Cases of this kind are becoming
entirely too frequent and unless
more care is taken in putting up
canned goods people will be
afraid to eat them at all.
Mary Jane Boggs, an Amer-
ican girl, went to Europe to
study music. Now she is call-
ed Miss Nina Lafantin. The
change of name, however, does
not improve her voice.
IONAL
fiLECTRIC
Ant Exterminator.
Warranted lo do jusl what thn name indi-
cates when the directions are followed.
This compound is one of the cheapest
and most effective modes ol completely
annihilating the Ant Colonics of Texas
that has ever yet been discovered. The
manner of applying and actual lalior ex-
pended (as will lie seen by the directions)
ia so simple and light, that every one who
is troubled with these ravages can, at a
comparatively small cost, be rid of them,
thereby saving annually hundreds of dol-
lars to many farmers,gardeners and florists,
to say nothing of the great relief and com-
fort it would bring 10 the many mothers to
know that their little darlings were free
Irom the poisonoii effect of those inhabi
tants ot the sandhills.
For Red or Stinging Ants one 24 ounce
bottle is sufficient to destroy half a do/en
colonics. Krom one quart to one gallon
will destroy an ordinary bed of cutting
ants.
The undersigned have bought the exclu-
sive right to sell the exterminator in the
counties of Washington, Burleson, Austin,
lira/os and Waller. The fluid can be ob-
tained at the following places.
Ilreoham, Tristram s drug store.
Hempstead, James Armstrong, druggist,
licllville.

Caldwell. T. B. .Stone, druggist.

Burton, D. P. Earhart.
Chappell Hill, 0. I,. Williams, and also
of K. S. Ncblett in this city. I have thor-
oughly tested the exterminator and know
that it will do exactly what is claimed for
it. R. S. NEBLETT,
