The ~ ;Gscr In the Wood Pile"

1t seems that the financial question
is not the only hook on which the Ire
land party hang their opposition. One
of the most prominent delegates yes ter
day unfortunately allowed himself to
get excited to that degree that he "let
the cat out Of the bag" He emphat-
ically:declared that no native German
should be allowed to vote or hold office
in this country. This sentiment of IL e
leaders of Mr.. Schleicher's opposition
may account for their obstinacy, but
we do not believe their following are
in accord with them. Judge Ireland
has been prominent know-Nothing.
and here we find one of his chief sup.
porters expressing the most radical
Know Nothing sentiments. 1t begins
to look as though all this talk about
the financial question was trumpcd up
to delu1e to Irelands support those
who would denounce him, if the real
issue, Know Nothingism. were present.
ed. The general principles of the ma.
jority report on platform were in effect
the same rs those Of the minority,
thereby exploding the theory that the
was much divided on the
issues claimed to be involved there
fore VIC must conclude that the real
to Mr.. Schlelcher is based
upon the fact that he is not a native
American. Those delegates who were
not in the main secret can draw their
own conclusions and determine in their
own minds whether they have not been
the victims Of Know Nothing pre-
iudice on the part of their leaders,

The superintendent of the Phila-
delphia mint says that the Mexican
silver dollar contains 4lGl grains Of
the same fneness as the United States
silver dollar of 4l2t grains, which
gives it an actual bullion value of
about one cent more than the Ameri
can dollar. The excuse brokers make
for discounting the Mexican dollar is
that it is not legal tender. The same
may be said of more than S.55O, O00,'
600 national bank notes that are in
circulation, but they ure always at par

Bass, Jackson and Barnes, the train
robbers, went t, Round Rock on the
10Th to make arrangements to rob the
Bank. Deputy Sheriff Grimes, notsus'
pecting who they we:e, went to arrest
them in a store for carrying arms,
where they were purchasing tobacco
when the three drew their pistols from
their saddle. bags and shot him. lie
got out of the store, and fell dead in
the street with his pistol in his hand.
Maurice Moore, deputy sheriff OF
Travis, who came here with jones,
came up at the time and fired several
shots, wouudipg one Of them, and was
himself shot down.
Three of Major Jones men, all he
had here, who were some distance
down the street. came running up. Bass
and party retreated, taking shelter be
hind the houses and fencing us they
ran, pursued and being fred at by the
rangers and some citizens. AS they
reached their horses and were mount
ing, one Of the rangers shot Barnes
through the head, killing him instant
ly.
Bass and Jackson were well mount
cd aud escaped under a heavy fire. Bass
wounded in the arm and back.
Major Jones was coming from the
telegraph office and was two squares
of when the shooting commenced, but
reached the scene in time to hear the
bullets whistle and empty his six
shooter at the robbers as they mounted
and ran off.
Grimes death causes great sorrow.
He was rescected by all aud regarded
as one Of the bravest Of men and best
of officers. Moore is shot through
above the left lung. Doctors think he
is wounded seiously but not mortally.
Bass was afterwards found in dy-
ing condition. The following special
to the Galveston News tells the rest
of the story:
ROUND Rock, June 22-Sam Bass
died at two minutes to four yesterday
Sunday and was buried this morning
by the civil authorities, to whom the
body was turned over by Major Jones.
Rangers are scouting for Jackson, who
rumor says, is in the vicinity, probably
lingering to hear Of Bass fate.
The last moments of Bass we're easy.
He refused to the last to Uniform direct
ly on his confederates, and said to Maj.
Jones, when asked questions about his
accomplices, 1T is agin my profession
to tell. fla man knows anything let
him die with it in him."
