BY the time this paper reaches our
readers Mr.. D. d. Proctor, one of our
hest known citizens, will have COM
menced his trip with his family for
the more beautiful skies of the west
ern coast. In losing Mr.. Proctor our
town loses an energetic and patriotic
citizen, one who has been foremost in
advocating all measures of reform,
political and moral, and his absence
will be felt as that of few men would
be. He was an active member of the
Masonic Lodge in this village, and on
learning of his intended departure the
worthy brothers at their last session
presented him beautiful apron, suit
able for a Past Master, he being the
Master of the lodge. The presenta-
ton was made by W. F. Mckay, who
read the following address, to which
Mr.. Proctor briefly responded:

RINER FALLs. MS. Nov. 6 rs

INV In ANS W 49, NV y, 1000.
Bro. Proct0r:-Three thousand wears
ago the great Hebrew poet, father of him
whom we revere as our first Most Excel
lent Grand Master, said that ''here we
have no continuing city" He taught, as
we as Masons are taught from the East,
that the ties that bind us to earth and tC
each other in physical form are but slight
and every passing day records the rend-
ing of a tie.
This day witnesses the severing of one
such chord in the removal of a Worship
full Master whom we honor, and a Brother
whom we have learned to respect as a
citizen, and love as friend. Upon this
occasion, that of your departure from
our midst, we rs individuals, members OF
this Lodge and citizens of the town in
which you have so long lived, desire to
convey to you the assurances of our deep
and lasting regard. As you go to forth
from us to find home in distant state,
be assured, Brother Proctor, that the best
wishes and the kindest regards of your
Brethren of this Lodge will accompany
you; and as we perhaps for the last time
clasp your hand, may that "brotherly
grip but typify the stronger grip which
now and ever binds our hearts to yours.

Ben Thompson Declared Not Guilty.


From the Freie Press, January22.
The monstrosity which lies in the last three
weeks is deeply felt by all peace and justice
loving citizens, the goodness of Justice feels
the disgrace keenly, wells her cOuntenance and
thrusts her glowing torch mourning to the
ground. Ben Thompson declared not guilty!
The force could not have been better illustrated
as to what is called: Administration of JUS
tice in Texas Ben Thompson has taken adj
vantage of the weakness of the procedure in
our courts down TO the finale. In this he
was right; possibly we are indebted TO him when
the people at last open their eyes and see the
abyss on the edge of which society i'm Texas
stands. We do not condemn Thompson, but
the damnable system that made his acquittal
possible.
The District, Appellate and Supreme courts
had condemned the act and refused to let him
out on security, Notwithstanding the evidence
of prosecution and defence before them in
full. Then he was brought before twelve of his
peers to receive his final sentence. They sit
for a whole week like Indian images and hear
the same testimony that the District, Appellate
and Supreme judges have heard. Who are
these twelve men? Are they superior in any
thing over their fellow-citizens? ., yes! they
were the only twelve that cOund be found i'll
the whole county who had heard nothing of
the Harris Thompson" case, who read no news
papers and lived in happy ignorance in regard TO
the future. They form about the lowest grade OF
society, and TO them was left the decision of
life over death of an individual. And here we
come to the SOrest point i'll our judicial pro-
cedure. Our jury system has but one object
to protect the murderer-and 1t has fulfilled
this purpose in every single case. Currie,
ROthschId, Ben ThOmpsOn-what a trio of
stars And thus it will continue until some
day the patience of the people will be eX
hausted. AS long as the intelligent part of the
people do not occupy the jury seats so long
will the much praised protection OF life i'll
Texas remain GchimeTa and farce.

FALSE ECONOMY.

A paragraph going the rounds OF the pa
pers is to the effect that Mr.. Russell Sage, the
well-known fnancier, who is credited with
being the second wealthiest man in the
United States, began his business career by
working in small grocery store for "a
month and board and managed to save
money even then" The obvious moral is that,
no matter how small may be ones income,
how great his necessities, he must stint him
self in order to carry out principles of mig
gardly economy and "save money" 1t is,
of course, source of qualification to the
chuckle- headed fanatics who are always
preaching on the approach of the proverbial
rainy day, the chronic GROWERS who
would deprive the present of all
its pleasures and have US wear
out our soul and body while preparing
for brief season of ease, that only, which we
have promised ourselves we shall have in our
old age. But fortunately large majority of
people have views of life altogether different
from those held by the selfish, Mammon-
worshipping element which proposes to die
tate to us the manner in which we shall con-
duct our financial affairs. If it were not so
we should be more than ever a world of
grasping, pitiless Shylocks it were degrade
ton to be called on to contemn.

THE ABBE'S ILLUSION.
Frightened of Pleasure and Ashamed of
Emotion Not Subdued.

Emotion Not Subdued.
A neat bit ofword- painting is the subjoined,
taken from the Modern Age, a new eclectic
magazing published by the Age Publishing
company of Buffalo, N. Y, the second
number of which has just been issued:
A two-fold embarrassment made the
Able speak incoherently-he was ashamed
of the emotion he could not subdue,
and frightened at the very pleasure
he found in the situation. What a
strange mistake he had made! She was
not Judith, he was not Holofernes; and all
the fervor of their duet had only been imaginary
and counterfeit How could he have yielded to
the dangerous illusion, the discovery of which
now filled him with terror?
She rose and moved away, compromising,
with .woman's delicate tact, all that was TAX
ing place. Rene Marin, less quick, was as
tonished at this abrupt interruption, and in
sisted that the piece should be carried through
to the end. But she made him keep silent.
When the Able, by strong effort of will,
was again master of himself, he felt the neces-
sity of making a diversion, and opened a
commonplace, matter-of-fact conversation,
in which he soon ceased to to take
part. The others were both enthu-
SiaStic over the prospects OF success, but he
continued absent-minded and unhappy. He
not could keep his eyes away from the beauty
of this woman whom he had just been address
ing with burning words of love. Was she
really beautiful Alas he was not connois-
seur in female beauty. Perhaps he was still
looking at her with the eyes of Holofernes,-
perhaps, too, the little elegancies of Paris
ian artistic all of which were wholly novel to
him, misled his judgment. He gazed at her
eagerly, with kind of fear which was almost
pathetic.
The day was drawing to close, and the
hour of departure had already past. He took
his leave at the most unexpected moment, and
with suddenness which suggested fight, abb
solutey refusing to allow any one to accom-
pany him. When he found himself again
upon the pavement, he stopped, watched the
crowd few minutes, as it surged noisily
about him, drew deep sigh Of relief or regret
and then pursued his way with rapid step.

consequently the maximum velocity is no
known. The consequences to the shipping
have been disastrous.

A CHICAGO court has decided that writer
can secure a copyright only by giving his
real name. The decision is obviously IN
Just. The identity of the author should be
all sufficient. Many authors, as for instance
Samuel L. Clemens MARK Twain, the

known by their nom de plume than by their
patronymic.
A SIN of omission may be as bad as one Of
commission and the Texas Legislature may
be guilty of one as well as of the other. Two
of the sins of omission it is now in danger oil
are failure to adopt more stringent laws re.
garding gambling, and to submit the prohibi
ton question to the people. Prohibition may
be unproductive of general benefit but the peo
pie unquestionabiy have the right to govern
themselves and it is only by appealing tc
their constituency that the Legislators can as
certain the popular opinion. As to gambling
the laws now in vogue would be ample if they
were enforced but their non-enfofcement give
rise TO demand for measures by which thu
ends aimed at may be accomplished or thu
sworn servants of the people severely punished
for falling to discharge their duty.
