CIRCUMSTANCES connected with the death
of the man Monroe, an account of the murder
OF whom appeared in the local columns of the
EVENING LIGHT yesterday, show the looseness
Of the Texas laws regarding Investigations
into cases Of real or supposed crime. Monroe
was found by the conductor of north bound
train at Webb station, suffering with numerous
wounds and lying in pool of blood. His
condition was so serious that medical attend
ance was deemed necessary to prolong his
existence, then apparently fast terminating.
This could not be obtained at Webb station,
and as the.conductor had no authority to move
the train back to Laredo, Monroe was
brought to this city. He died while on the
way and information of his death was con-
veyed to Justices Adam and Shields, both oil
whom refused to hold an inquest for the two
fold reason that no law in existence provided
for defraying the expenses incidental to such
work and that as the murder was not com.
mitted in this county they had no jurisdiction
in the premises. Consequently the railroad
company decided to return the body
whence it came. Now all this rec
tape business should be done ava,
with. 1t is unquestionably right that il
most cases an investigation should be made a
the scene of the homicide, but circumstance
may sometimes arise which will render it pro
per to make an investigation elsewhere. Sup
pose, for instance, that on the train which
brought the dying Munroe hither there hac
come all the witnesses of the crime-would i
not have been just and proper to hold al
inquest here and place the guilt, if there wer
any, where it belonged, instead of affordinl
the murderer time to escape by delaying
official inquiry? Certainly. Then why do W
) not have law which will make such action
: possible? The fault lies with the Legislator
and il should be remedied. Discretionar
power ought to be conferred on peace officer
to exercise in cases similar to that mentioned
BY the present system the ends OF justice ma,
be often defeated.

NEVER, in the history of San Antonio, ex-
cept in the day of an epidemic, has the city
been in such an unhealthy condition as dur
ing the past month, and never has the death
list presented such a large figure. That it
should increase with the population, is but
natural, but when the ratio is increased there
must be an extraordinary cause. There
has been a slight outbreak of small
pox, traced distinctly to an immediate source
of contagion; there have been pneumonia,
feverS and other diseases of like character,
partly due to the recent severe changes of the
weather, but no intelligent person will doubt
that much of our sickness has been caused by
the want of proper sanitary precautions. Our
present health officer, DR.. Menger, is efficient
and has shown willingness to adopt every
possible means to secure US from the
ravages of disease, but he is hampered by a
City Council which does not recognize that
we have just escaped an epidemic which for
some time seemed imminent or else are re-
creant to their trust, and careless of the
necessities Of the people.

Mormon question is at best vexatious one,

RUSSIA is in a bad condition and Tsar Alex
ander win have to do something to avert
impending internal disturbances. The Rus
sian Administration endeavors to convey the
impression that the Tsar's recent decree
against the Nhilists has brought about their
seeming sudden inaction, but all appearances
indicate that the Nihilists are quiet now for
the sole reason that they may thus escape
strict police surveillance and gain time to pre-
pare for bloody campaign against their
alleged oppressors. If the Tsar would but
announce that he will signalize his coronation
next May by giving his country parliament
to restrict the powers of the monarch, with the
addition of qualified suffrage, and would
reform some of the bureaucratic abuses, he
would arm himself so strong with the friend
ship of his subjects that he might laugh at the
threats of his enemies.

THE restless theatre-goer is nuisance.
Always shifting his position, staring first at
this person and then at that, drumming with
his fingers on the back of his chair, patting
the floor with his foot, fumbling in his pockets
for something he cannot find, testifying his
appreciation in tones which may be heard
over the entire building, he makes his stay un-
pleasant to himself and annoys his neighbors.
The cause of his conduct is in most cases self
consciousness he is unused to appearing in
large assemblages and he feels that he is being
observed. But if he would consider that he is
but one of hundreds and that he would not
attract attention if he were to act naturally he
would save himself from many disagreeable
situations. His knowledge of his own timidity
gives rise to an assumption of impudence
which as lily accords with his real elings as
with those of the rest of the audience.

by the fact that although German born citi-

the Irish born, there are 20 Irish born men,

THE Globe-Democrat suggests that some
American playwright distinguish himself by
the connection of tariff play after the Bard
we'll Slote style. The idea of the hyphenated
great religious daily is good one and should
be seized upon at once by some nascent
dramatist. All the dialogue comedy neces-
sary could be obtained by making extracts
from the Congressional Record, and mild
sensation might be produced by working in

place prohibitory duty on foreign aesthetics

for the navy have not been stinted!

They'll Never Forgive Him.

There were six persons in a Wood
ward avenue car when he entered. Be-

called out:

women looked scared.

marked one of the men.
Gail I miss is half a dollar" added a
second.
The other two tried to catch a sight of
the coin in the mans fingers before
specifying their loss, and the women
moved uneasily and wished they knew
exactly whether they had lost ten cents
or a dollar.
.Again 1 ask if any of you lost this

.'Then this can't be yours, for it is a

were too blind to SEQ it,"
Then the four men left the car a
brief intervals, each one giving the
lucky man a look of intense hate as he
went out, and when the two women got
off together, one Of them remarked to
the other:
cpl never forgive the wretch as long
as 1 live! That money was there within
a foot of me all the time, but you kept

Ex.POst FactO.

BY the recent application in the
United States Supreme Court of the ex-
post-facto principle Of the Constitution
a mans neck was saved after a fight of
seven years. In 1875 Charles F. Krine,
of St. Louis, was tried for the murder
Of a woman, and sentenced to be hanged.
Since then he has had numerous trials
and has been sentenced to imprison-
ment OF hanging or the jury has disa-
greed, just as it has happened. Once
he pleaded guilty Of murder in the
second degree: but under a later law of
the State, he was tried again and sen,
fenced to death. The Supreme Cour.
has now overturned all the State deci-
sions in the case. aud says the man can
not be hanged because the law unde.
which he was last convicted was passed
after the offence was committed, and
operated to the prisoners disadvantage.
This seems to be SO clearly a case of ex-
p%ost-facto law that it is hard to imagine
what arguments were used to sustain
the position of the State of Missouri in
the Supreme Court. This decision is
sustained by a bare majority of n
but that one makes a world of differ.
