EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THE 9Th district democratic convention
meets at Luling on the 10th inst Another
democratic deadlock.
THE harmonious democracy are at it al
over the state. Stewart has Hutcheson by the
hair at Houston; Chiffon is punching Dick
Hubbard in the bread basket, and Wells
Thompson, Miller and Moore are proving to
the voters of the Sth district that neither one
of them will do to tie to.
Hon. JOHN HANCOCK has consented to be-
come candidate for congress in the tenth dis
trict, subject to the action of a democratic con-
vention. Hancock is one of the men who
aided Texas when she needed assistance, and
the people of the tenth district would honor
themselves by electing him to congress-

LIABLE TO BE PUNIsHED. On the
morning Of March I'D, We copied from
the Alta an almost incredible story Of
fiendish brutality upon sailors told BY
the crew Of the American ship Gatherer,
which sailed from Antwerp, Holland,
Sept. 9Th, 1881, for Wilmington, Cali
fornia. The horrors detailed in that
story created a righteous indignation in
the breasts of all vino read it. The
Grand Jury has sinoe found four sepa-
rate indictments against Captain C. N.
Sparks, Of the ship Gatherer, and one
joint Indictment which includes the Sec
Ond mate, the five indictments covering
forty-six charges of assault and cruelty.
Eight separate indictments are also ro-
ported against George Curtis, tho SEQ
0nd mate, which embraces ninety six
charges of assault and cruelty between
the LIST of September, 1881, and the 9Th
Of January, 1882. II out Of these four
teen indictments containing l5i
charges, any considerable proportion
should be found true, Captain Sparks
and his mate are not likely to sail the
seas for some time to come. While
many frivolous charges are often pre-
ferred by sailors against their officers,
and while all we'll regulated minds will
realize the absolute necessity OF strict
discipline ON board of q ship, it would
seem that where there is 80 much smoke
there must be some fire, and this theory
is strengthened by the fact that the do
| fendants do not set up in rebuttal that
they had mutinous or rebellious crew,
but expect to prove that they treated
the men With kindness, with tho aid OF
two witnesses from Los Angeles. We

1t was thought last week that the
grass fires were for the most part ex-
tinguished and the danger from them
nearly over, but such seenls to be by no
means the case. At this time there are
great fires raging in every direction from
Benton, and of course doing much dam
age to the stock ranges, and in some in
stances resulting in the immediate loss
of private property.
The fire between the Missouri and Te-
ton need not be referred to as it was
plainly visible in Benton last night.
Parties who arrived from Belt creek
yesterday report that the fire that started
in the Chestnut country had swept over
Sand Coulee, Box Elder and TO Belt
creek, and day before yesterday even
crossed that creek and is now burning
on this side and toward the mountains.
Some of the sheep men of that section
have been compelled to movetheir herds,
and o long string Of John Cashiers fence
was burned. This fire seems TO be more
destructive and dangerous than the
others, and it occurs to US an organize
effort should be made at once to check it

moving rapidly in the direction of Cha
