Assassination of Reuben Morris

A special to the Telegram da-
ted Hampstead, July 9, gives
the following account of the
murder of Reuben Morris, a
brother of Dan Morris, who in
May last killed Tom Loggins,
near Hampstead. Reuben Nor
ris, who is a justice of the peace,
was in Hampstead on Wednes-
day and started for his home
near Howth station about ?
o'clock, when FIVE miles from
Hampstead at a place called
Loggins' lane and near a gin
house, he was fired upon by
some unknown party and killed.
There are many surmises as to
who the party, or parties, to
the killing were, but no conclu-
sive testimony.
One thing is certain and that
is the killing of Reuben Morris
grew out of the killing of Tom
Loggins by Dan Morris.
The BANNER learns from a
reliable source that Reuben and
Henry Loggins have been ar
rested on suspicion ofbeing i'm
plicated in the murder of Reu-
ben Morris.

JUST before the adjournment

JUsr before the adjournment
of the legislature Governor
Roberts constituted himself a
committee of one on admira-
ton, and thereupon he wrote
and sent congratulatory mes
sage to the legislature. After
expressing his grateful obliga-
tons for the respect shown him
as chief executive he goes on
to enumerate the various acts
passed. He is especially elat-
ed over the success of his fnan-
cial policy saying, ITO pay as
you go has come up to the cap
ital in no uncertain sound of
commentator of that principle
from all portions of the state"
The people will notice that al
though the governors chief
hobby was "retrenchment,"
that in not one of the many
messages sent by his excellency
to the legislature did he recon-
mend a reduction Of his own
salary. But he succeeded in
docking" the allowance of the
common school masters" and
is supremacy happy.

The Austin GaSchf estimates
that the appropriation of one
sixth together with the amount
carried forward to the credit of
the school fund together with
that arising from interest on the
bonds will amount to S675, 900,
for the coming scholastic
year beginning September Ist
and that for the second year
the amount will be largely in
creased. This will go a long
way towards keeping the schools
in good cordition and if the
antl-school men consider this a
victory the school men can stand

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Observation-Disclosures may say to
the contrary the appropriation
of one-sixth, instead of a spe-
cific amount or no approPria-
ton at all is a victory for the
school men. The next state
canvass will be conducted on
the question of schools or no
schools, and we here predict an
overwhelming majority in favor
of the schools. All those mem
bers of the present rump legis-
lature who are opposed to the
schools will be permitted to
take a back seat and there re-
main the balance of their natu-
raj lives. The constitution OF
Texas, made by a democratic
convention is pledged to main
tain an efficient system of pub
lie free schools; the Austin plat
form, upon which the present
administration was elected reit-
Grated the pledges of the con-
stitution. 1t is a democratic
measure and the democracy of
Texas are pledged to it. We
firmly believe that a large ma
iority of the democrats are to-
day in favor of the original ap-
preparation Of one-fourth of the
revenues. There are some old
fogy men and newspapers that
oppose it, but they, like Gov.
Roberts are superannuated. We
need a different class of legisla-
tors; We want progressive men,
live active men who are fully up
with the times. The world
moves and we want legislators
that move with it and who keep
fully up with the march of i'm
provement; we live in an age of
telegraphs, Photographs, tele-
phones, railroads and type set
ting machines even setting
type by hand will be a thing of
the past, and not in the good
old days of fence-rail roads,
dirt roads and ox-wagons. In
the selection of future legisla-
tors qualification for the position
will play an important part.
The democatic party has plenty
of able men from whom to Sc
lect, and it will in the future be
sure to choose the best. An
other such legislature as the
present, would not only ruin
Texas, but the democratic par
ty also.

sole purpose of splitting the
democratic vote for president
in 1880.
