Ancient history speaks of two broth
ers, one of whom, found guilty of
heinous crime, was condemned to death,
and about to be led forth to executioni
the other, patriotic and brave, had sig
nalized himself in the service OF his
country, and had lost hand in obtain
ing an illustrious victory for the State.
just as the sentence Of condemnation
was pronounced upon this unhappy
brother, he entered the court, and 81
lently raised his handles arm in view
of all. The Judges saw it, arrested the
execution and pardoned the guilty one
for the sake of the service and the suf-
ferings of his heroic brother. SO may
not our Elder Brother, as He appears IN
our nature before the throne, silently
and efficiently plead for us by the very
scars he bearsp-W OfntSton.

Death of William Alexander.

The death of Hon. William Alexander, at
Austin, the first news of which came yesterday
in dispatch to Col. d. D. Atchson, clerk of
the supreme court, was the source OF pain to
a number of his old friends still living in Cal
weston, where he lived and practiced law for
upwards of ten years. He came to this city
in May, 1916, and removed TO Austin in 1887.
lie was about sixty-two years Of age; was
born in Woodlord county, Kentucky; gradu-
ted from Centre college, at Danville, and
afterward at Yale; stuGied law in Frankfort,
KY, and began the practice of his profession in
Galveston. The family of which he was a
member is one of the oldest and best known in
the bluegrass region of Kentucky, where they
settled in the beginning of this century and
became famous as farmers and growers Of fine
stock. His uncle, Robert Alexander, was
United States secretary of legation in France
when DIR. Franklin was minister, and visited
various parts of Europe in order to secure the
best breeds of domestic animals. His mother
was sister Of Judge Campbell, of Paducah,
an eminent jurist Of Kentucky. The late
Governor Wickiffe, of Louisiana, and John
c. Breckenridge were friends and fellow stu
dents of the deceased. Mr.. Alexander was
opposed to secession and absented himself
from Texas during the war. He travelled ex-
tensively in Mexico, and in that country spent
much time in the study OF the Spanish and the
Mexican laws, in which he was an adept. He
never married, and was a man of some eccen-
tricity of character, but of great mental force,
and unsullied reputation for integrity and mo-
rality. He was devoted friend, and never
allowed political reasons to bias his conduct
toward his friends, decided as were his views
IN such matters. He was never an aspirant
Tor office, but held the appointment of ai,or-
ney-general some years since the war.--[Gal-

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

London, February II. - Explaining, last
evening in the house of commons, his recent
utterance in regard to home rule, Mr.. Glad
stone said he held on the question of local gov
eminent very clear and distinct opinions,
though it was unlikely that he would ever be
called to take action on them. He considered
that the decentralization Of parliament should
be by careful rule or policy. Local institu-
tons are a source Of great strength, and that
the only limit which in principle is necessary to
them is an adequate provision for the suprem-
acy of the central authority. He believed that
the only just way of meeting the demand for
for bringing officers more under Irish control,
is not to regard it as first step towards sepa-
ration, but rather ask promoters of change to
formulate guarantees proposed to be given for
the supremacy of parliament. He had never
yet received adequate and satisfactory explan-
alton on this point.
A HEAVY FAILURE.
London, February I6.--The assets of
Pfeister Brothers, of Munich, is stated at
Goo, 600. Composition al the rate of 20 per
cent. has been offered. There are apprehen-.
sions that his failure may cause many others.

The A ssassin.

Special Disdatch to the Globe Democrat
Washington, d. c., February I3.-Interest
in the assassin, Guiteau, has subsidized for the
past few days, owing to the interest in the
Soteldo-Barton difficulty, but the advent of
Mr.. George Scoville, the prisoners counsel,
to-day at the city hall gave the case new i'm
petus. He was engaged in collecting men,
ceptions, which he had hoped to be able to
present by next Saturday. He found, how
ever, that the record had not been printed,
and this would cause delay in his original in
tentions, SO that he would probably not be
ready with his exceptions before the middle
of next week.
The prisoner was visited yesterday by sew
eral members of congress accompanied by
persistent constituents, but there were 4 large
number of callers all day who did not have
sufficient influence to pass into the corridor in
which Guitaau's cell is located. They, how
ever, contented themselves with infinitely in
specting that portion Of the Jail in which the
sCattold is located, and several women visitors
assembled the steps with view Of obtaining
better idea of how the trap is sprung. The
prisoner has recently been photographed in
several different attitudes, but a side view
seems to please him best, and he has indorsed
it as being the best picture ever taken of him.
There is marked difference of this and the
picture taken of him on the 4th of July, for
then he wore a full beard, whereas he now on
ly has a mustache. He is apparently in good
health and spirits, and Mr.. Chas. II. Reed
thinks that he is gaining in flesh. At any rate
he seems perfectly composed and sanguine of
his ultimate release.

The Compromise.

We find in the Express the following pre-

council at the next meeting, we are informed.
We notice one peculiarly in this report is
that the real claimants are not named. MIR.

Chinese demonstration this afternoon
was on grand scale. Long before the
hour fixed Platt's Hall was packed with
the best citizens, while crowd of prob
ably thirty thousand suTged about the
stands erected on Montgomery and Pine
streets. The hall was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion with the national
cOlOrs. Resolutions were presented as
follows:
RESOLVED, That laying aside all social
and political distinction, we unite as
one man, as one people, as loyal and
law-abiding citizens of the Republic, in
urging upon Congress the absolute ne
cessity for speedy and effective legisla-
tiOn pursuant to the terms of the recent
treaty with China, restricting and con-
trolling Chinese immigratiOn; be it
further
RESOLVED, That our Senators and Re-
presentatlves from this coast have our
entire approval and hearty and united
support in their efforts to present this
great question to the country as of vital
Importance, and deserving immediate
and favorable action on the part of the
Federal Government; be it further
RESOLVED, That copy of these resO-
lutiOns be telegraphed to our Senators
and Representatives in Congress.
Inc IeSOluLIOnS WeIe BIeeIeu WIN en-
thusiasm and adopted. During the
meeting a procession of wOrkingmen,
escorting a number of children in a
wagon, bearing the motto, "Shall our
boys aud girls or Cinnamon have Cali
fornia?" passed through the crowd on
Montgomery street, and was received
with applause.
The demonstration throughout was
conducted with the greatest decOrum,
becoming deliberate expression of the
sentiment of all classes of the city, ire
spective of business or politics. Busi-
servance of the holiday was general.
Dispatches are pouring in from the in
terror, showing that similar demonstTa-
tiOns have been held throughout Cali
fOrnia and Nevada.
