why arc American. py.us ON, =.

The REy. GEORGE w. GALLAGHER, of
New York, in the course of recent lecture
answers the question, "Why are Americans
dying out?" and saws:
One reason is because they eat too much and too
fast. A person studying closely the habits of
Americans would think that their object in life
was to eat Americans can't converse dye minutes
without something TO eat. Another reason Is be-
Cause they drink too much. The curse OF our ma
ton is intemPeranee A third reason is because
they gamble too fast. We are becoming nation
of gsmolers. This spirit of gambling is under
mining all honest industries. Another reason Is
disappointed ambition. We sre a nation of rivals.
Each man desires to lead his fellows. A republic
has many blessings, but it possesses disadvau-
tage the failure 10 satisfy the grssping ambition
of its teeming lnillions The last reason for
Americans dying out is their fslse standard of
success, money. If man in Europe fails in bust-
ness, or loses his money by some unexpected ca
lamity his fr ends will still remain true TO him,
rule But in this country let man lose his
fortune by adversity and he is quickly forgotten.
Thus, we begin with gluttony and end
with envy, Jealousy and moral cowar6ice.

fer. As the News has already been in

hibitiOn and the Corpora
lion Question.

HILLsBORo, February 17.-Sheritf Cox,
of this county, came near being killed
this morning by two horse thieves, near
this place. The thieves names are
Cazaarine and King. They stole two
horses and a mule at Lsmpasas Springs
three days ago, and had started to Ar
kansas. They were pursued by parties
from Lampasas county, but the thieves
rode too fast for them. The pursuers
stopped at Whitney and sent City Mar
shall DeLamar and Constable Charlie
Eubanks after them. Last night about
O clock the thieves were seen in camp
IN blackberry bottom, about mile from
this place. Eubanks and DeLamar
came on to Hillsboro and notified Sheriff
Cox, who, together with the above par
ties, went out to arrest the thieves.
Cox went III advance and found the
thieves in camp and approached towards
Them. The thieves at once threw their
pistol and Winchester down on Cox, but
the Winchester failed to fire. Cox still
approached towards them in the face of
she drawn pistol, which, when he got
near them, he knocked down and it
tired. He then rushed npon them and
succeeded in capturing both. The
5hleves are said to be desperate men,
and no Drawer act has ever been com
nltted IN Hill county than when Sheriff
Cox captured them. He is as cool, de-
lberate and brave a man as ever cap
'ured thief The parties arrested are
lowin jail
The roads are still almost impossible
The trains are irregular as well as the
mails.
Prohibition and the corporation ques-
ION are how agitating the minds of our
voters.
