The outrageous punishment in
flicted by Judge Lawson upon
Dryer Gray has stirred up a storm
of indignation which will furnish
abundant material for further in.
fringement of the right of free speech
and the freedom of the press. The
Pail Mall Gazette denounces the
treatment of Gray in unmeasured
terms, asserting that his offense was
one that would have been committed
by any English journalist under
similar circumstances, and that
the fact that Gray is now
in Jail is in itself "a scandal of the
first magnitude" The Irish mem.
bers of parliament have in their
speeches compared Lawson to JEFF.
freys, and have used other language
which offers pretext for numerous
prosecutions and convictions for
contempt of court. A fund is being
raised by subscription to pay Gray'i
fine of $500, the Catholic bishops
heading the subscription lists.

JUDGE EVANS and his wing of the
Republican party in Texas occupy
the position, relatively, that the
STATESMAN has always held =
TO yield nothing to any
but straight political or
|ganization. IL is the only way in
which the solldity of a political
party may be maintained. IL may
sustain defeat when so governed,
and come out of the contest strong,
but when yielding to other political
influence, not in harmony with it,
decline If not destruction is sure to
follow. We have preferred for the
Democratic party to meet defeat
rather than abandon the open decla-
ration of one single principle.

show themselves on the beach in
bathing suits, but they go through
the town in them, putting them on
at their houses and returning from
their bath in them for the sake of saw
ing the expense of hiring bathing

Gus meeting without taking the
trouble to change to their usual ap-
parel, alternating between surf and
prayer, and thus showing that
with them cleanliness is the
next thing to godliness. The

with party ofladies, without having
had the formality OF an introduction.
Finding them to his liking, he mod
estly expressed a hope that they
would overlook the fact of his not
having been regularly presented.
and allow him. to consider himself
acquainted. "Oh no." they said,
they could not do that, it was Sun
day. At this he informed them that
he too believed in remembering the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. "Oh,
that was not it," they said, but on
Sundays there were lots OF their
gentlemen friends there to spend the
day with them, and they therefore
could then afford to be proper and
independent; "but just ask us on
any week day." they said. "and any
one of us will go with you wherever
you like or do anything you say"

fight with the failure OF 1.-THE American

claims, was in no respect the result of SELL

by the combustion Of publishers and
Gus and baseless ISLANDERS being scattered
among the creditors of the institution,
causing "run": which resulted in the
failure of the company, just as it has
often caused the failure of banks or other

Of the enterprise have organized "The

poses to carry on the fight. The first

Yet, human nature is susceptible of te-

The insanity dodge was plausible, and it

very ]enient and liberal. The prisoner
was allowed his own way, and almost
every point in bis behalf asked for was
granted. After a prolonged trial of So
days, the case was given to the jury. In
less than an hour after they returned with
their righteous verdict of "guil,y." The
American people applaud the verdict. 1t

another very slim chance for liberty, his
attorney having already moved for new

a Canning Factory.

EDITOR TRANscR1PT:-Is it feasible :?
Certainly. No better soil any where
than we have in Mower county for grow.
sweet corn and tomatoes. We can grow
small fruit, such as Strawberries, raspber-
ries and gooseberries. All kinds of veg
e,ables may be grown in great abundance.
Austin should organize q company for
canning small fruit and vegetables.
Why? Because such company would
confer public benefit. 1t would make
every mans home more valuable; it
would help increase the price OF every
mans farm in this vicinity. But why
not let individuals do this work? Be.
cause, individuals who may be disposed,
are not able: aud furthermore, the work
must be done on a large scale so as to
compete with other companies in the
same business. As all would be benefit
ted, it would be right for all that can, to
lend helping hand in organizing and
establishing such company. But what
about the cost! I will give you the fig
ures Of J. ]. Groom, Of Los Angeles,
"who enjoys widespread reputation as
man who has a thorough knowledge of
his business, and is now managing the
cannery of Los Angeles" HE gives
stools necessary to run a cannery for half
million cans per season." "Steam boil
er, 40 in. by 10 feet, $3.50" He enumer.
ates the other fixtures needed and their
cost; total, boiler, tools, everything, not
including building, $1,l67. Building
can be built of rough lumber, and there
fore cost but little. Then there are little
fittings and fixlngs up; not much OK
pense, still figures in the cost.'
A company for the first year or two,
would have to secure land and raise
mainly lis own fruit. But who knows
sufficiently about this business to under
take It? No one. You must send a man
into those towns and cities where there
arc canneries and let him find out in de-.
tail all that can be known; let him ccme
back and report; and then it you deem
it best, organize; secure an experienced
foreman and make your enterpr Use sue
cess. What has been done, what is being
done, can be done here. Let some young
map, Of business talent, who has energy
and push, take hold of this matter. If
rightly managed, there can be no failure.
