latlOh 10 ms mOVem ents ON the night OF the |
presidents decease. II was reported that |
he left the Fifth Avenue hotel at midnight |
and, 1t was supposed, went 80 Arthur's |
house He appears to have turned over |
the censorship to General Grant for the
time being;
1t was very proper that Mr.. Conkling |
should be secluded. Self respect and due
regard for public opinion made this neccs-
sity on his part, but Senator Conkling in
fuence will yet be felt in the economy Of
the affairs and in the destiny of this coun-
try.
The BRENNAN Sentinel, in the following,
states a fact, which Is indeed a most lamen-
table fact Too frequently are the worst
crimes known to the calendar condoncd on
the plea of insanity. lfa man be really in
sane, and therefore irresponsible, he should
have the benefit of the law in such cases to
save himself from ignominious punishment,
but he should b. confined in a mad-housc.
The Sentinel says;
The doctrine of moral insanity makes
steady progress has,penctmted the minds
of the sel-stylcd insaneS themselves; and
whatever clsc"their mental capacity OBJ
NIulfSt " blltIl htflltN llbI W prevent Inpln
from being brought to their senses by ar
rest and custody, nor from approaching
clearly the legal argument involved in the
theory that moral insanity gives immunity
from criminal responsibility
The Sherman Courier Chronicle suggests
that:
The republican party must stand its own
accidents. They are alone responsible for
the events that have given control of the
senate to the democrats, unless they choose
to shift it off on Providence and in that
case they should allow Providence to work
out the problem in His own way to logiti-
mate results
II isn't good idea to ascribe too much to
Providence, for Providence has vast deal
to attend to without being credited with
the short comings of mankind, especially
those of the republican faith
The Beaumont Enterprise remarks
Kate Chase bids fair to he counted the
most important parsonage in the Union,
She runs Conkling, Conkling runs the presi-
dent, and the president runs The govern
mcnt.
There is neither wit, reason of rhyme in
such paragraph as the above Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprugue, referred to- we presume, by
the Enterprise, has had. her name banded
through the papers enough, we should
think TO satisfy even the most srandalously
inclined. She is a lady and ex-senator
Conkliug is II gentleman. and il is but Sian
der to couple their names together, II,
they have been by somany papers through
out the country, of the Police Gazette type
bn A Vinni, Nv mi, 4
sense and badinage gets oil an excellent
paragraph in the following;
The legislature provided that the revenue
of the sinking fund should be invested IN
state and United States securities, and the
state government, in carrying out these in
struCtions, are compelled to pay large pre-
MUM on tie bonds purchased There i,
no option in the matter for the officers hay
ing 1t in charge, but still they have been ac
Cused of extravaganza in their llnancia
management. We now expect to hear of
proposition to have the Texas legislator,
pass n law preventing bondholdcrs from
charging premium on their bonds VIVA
have the 'rcgulators" been doing that the,
the POOR state wants to buy its bonds what
rigl have the blasted, bloatcd raScals o
boulhodrrS to raise the price above par
an dcm0ud more than the pound of flesh
Watts whgt we want to know
fhe Mineola lIawkeye has the following
~ say Oft the recent appointce to the 'gcncr
nj ticket agency ofthe Texas e Pacific rail
road, and the compliment paid Mr. McCul
Tough we most heartily approve and en-
dorse:
Mr.. h. w, Mccullough formerly genera
freight agent of the International Il Great
Northern railroad, has been promoted tc
the position of general ticket agent of the
Texas 4 Pacific and International & Grea
Northern railroads. His present office i
Marshall Mr.. Mccullough has many warn
friends both in and outside railroad circles
who will be glad to learn of his promotion
The Dcnson Herald-News says:
The proposition to make David Dnyi,
president of the senate is likely to brin,
about grave complications. If he should
be given that seat new chair would hav,
to be provided to take the place of tn,
historical one so long in use.
The two caucusses meet to-day, and tn,
probabilities are that Judge Davis will b,
left severely alone, and either democra
or republican elected president of tn,
senate.
The Waco Telephone says:
A special telegram from Austin saws tina
1t is considered certain by Governor Rob
erts' intimate friends in that city that h,
will not be u candidate for third term, bu
may run for the senate.
There is no need for the press of IN,
state to be taking unto itself any extr,
trouble over the governor or his future in
tentions. He knows what hc is doing ant
the people are pretty apt to stand by him
he wants a third term.
The Fort Worth Stock Journal saws
The Journal has maintained that Yves
Texas is unfit for farming purposes, and il
proof thereof offered the general ayerar,
production of the section named, and M,
bitter experience Of men by the score who
have tried farming. We have asserted
naught in this discussion for which we die
not offer proof.
II is the veriest nonsense to say thai
Western Texas is unfit for farming and /
the Stock Journal doesn't know this, ther
1t ought TO have leather medal for stupid
ity
We agree most heartily with the Wac,
Examiner in the sentiment expressed in tn,
following paragraph;
The Houston Post is authority for thu
statement that Mr.. Albert Bishop, city mar
