A Fuss for Nothinc-Tbat Pouch.

BROWNSVILLE, Aug. Especial, r.
\ Mexican lady named +. Nozuerra,
living at Reynosa, Mexico, made com
plant before Judge Farto, charging her
husband,JOse Nozuerra,a carpenter,with
kidnapping her little daughter, five
years old. She also claimed that he had
received money from the municipal au-
thorities of RoynOsa, Mexico, to come to
Brownsville to purchase mater ial for a
SchOOl-hOuSe, and brought the child
along, to leave it with relatives a couple
OF days, but Nazuerra, who is Cuban,
took the steamer for Havana, via Gal
weston, and was there arrested. After
all arrangements had been made he
tween Sheriff BritO aud the Chief of Po-
lice Galveston, 10 bring NOmema and
the child back, the child's mother re-
fused to prosecute, and tclerraDhed
Judge Farto this evening, to let her
daughter 90 with No2ucrra. This is no
doubt the result Of telegram sent V
No2uerra to the child's mother. Chi f
Jordon, has accordingly, been tciu
granhed to release the prisoner.
Later Developments in the ease OF the
letter pouch, which was reported lost
, and afterwards found, shows that the
| finding turns out to he a miSt9llc. The
| information as to the finding, came from
! the Postmaster. The driver, Panchu

1910 bail, is now in Jail. United States
Commissioner Tilghmn and Deputy
Marshall John Haynes, have gone tc

final result of such legal proceedings,
Mr.. BLAINE and family would still be-

If all this fight for free grass is to
preserve more lands to the cattle COM
panies, why don't the resident cattle
men of Texas fix upon some plan to OK
clude foreign companies and those par
ties in other States holding interests
with residents of Texas from occupying
the lands7 Free grass is only selfish
proposition at best, and it is mon
strous scheme to attempt to deprive the
children of the State of the revenues
derived from the school lands to put
money into the pockets of persons living
outside of the State.

THR Fort Worth Gazette attributes
paragraph to the HERALD in regard 10
its definition of an Independent, which
never was written in this Office or APP
peared in this paper. But ii answered
the purpose of the Gazette and ii
rounded up its point very nicely. The
HERALD, with tho same propriety,
might say tho Houston Age offered $50
for evidence to prove what editor in the
State had the least brains and the most
ogotism, and the HERALD claimed the
reward because IL referred the Age to
the editorials in the Gazette. The sting
ing part of this would be that the
HERALD's citing the Age to the Gazette
editorials for imbecility would be true,
and the Gazettc's statement that tho
HERALD said an "Independent was a
gelding" was all fiction.

The number of cattle annually driven
and shipped by rail and vessel from this
State equals in dollars and cents the
of wheat, corn, oats, barley and
rye exported from Texas. Millions of
dollars received from these cattle go to
fill the Golfers of English, Scotch and
Northern capitalists and the material
interests of the State derives no benefits
from the money. The farmers of Texas
toll and work through summers heat
and winters cold and the little profits
they accumulate over what is required
10 support themselves and families are
expended for improvements in this
State. These foreign capitalists avoid
the payment of all taxes possible, while
the farmers are compelled to
pay the full amount of
the assessments made upon their
lands and improvements. The farmer
must pay for and own his lands, while
many OF these foreign capitalists are still
using public lands, avoiding in many
instances even the small lease fixed upon
tho school lands. The free grass party in
this State are working in the interests OF
these foreign cattlemen, as well as Others
in their attempt to have the lease law
repealed. And at the same time they
would wrong the farmers children by
taking from them the revenues now de-
rived from school lands and thusincreasC
the taxes Of the farmer, merchant, me
chanic and laborer for school purposes
The repeal Of the lease law can benefit
no one but cattlemens

Horrors of the Deep.

The collision of the Gijon and the
Laxham adds another to the horrors of
the deep. The Gijon was Spanish yes
sci, plying between Santander and
Havana. At o'clock on the afternoon
of July 20, she left Santander with 1l3
passengers, and crew of seventy-segen
She touched at Corunna on the follow
ing morning, and at $50 o'clock in the
afternoon started for Havana. A thick
fog soon settled upon the waters, and
while in the Bay of Biscay, and not
more than twenty-five miles from shore,
the English steamer I4axham, crossing
the bow of the Gijon, was struck amid
ships and cut in two. A few seconds
later the boilers of the Laxham burst
and in eight minutes she had disap-
peared. Nineteen men out of twenty
three who were on the Laxham. together
with the Captain and wife and little
daughter, reached the Gijon, when it
was discovered that she was also doomed.
Four of the eight boats were quickly
lowered and 80 out of the 100 persons
who belonged to the Laxham crowded
into them. The other boats could not
be lowered as the vessel sank too
rapidly.
Captain VALDoMER IGLEsIAs, of the
Gijon, was one of those who persisted
He took no thought of his own safety,
but with pistol in hand he gave such
orders as looked to the safety of those
to his care, and died hero
The eighty passengers in the small boats
were saved.

Judge Watson's Brief.

We have recently had the pleasure of
reading the brief Of Judge Watson pre-
pared for use in the Supreme Court of
the United States in the appeal cases in
yolving the validity of the act of the
legislature creating a railroad commits
sion in this State.
1t is hardly to be expected that much
that is new could be found on a subject
which has been so thoroughly discussed,
but the points made by Judge Watson
in favor of the Legislature and against
the decision of Judges Hill and Peyton,
have been sustained by him by refer
ence to a line Of decisions, State and
federal, which appears to us to be I'M
answerable. One view of the anti com
mercial feature of the act we have not
before seen. 1t will be remembered
that the railroad companies claimed
that the State had exceeded its consti-
tutionaI power when it undertook to fix
rates, because it thereby violated that
provision of the federal constitution
which gives to Congress the power to
regulate commerce among the States,
and that this, their claim, was sustained
by Judge Hill. 1t being admitted by
all courts and all lawyers that the rail
road companies have only such powers
as are conferred upon them by charter
it may well be asked how is it that the
railroads claiA the righr to exercise a |
power which is denied to the State? We
quote Judge Watson's language:
1T is indeed difficult to compre-
bend how it is that a railroad corpora
ion, under the authority of State law,
IAN regulate its charges, whilst at the
anne time it would be unconstitutional
or the State itself to exercise this
power. This is to make the stream rise
higher than its source to make the
reature greater than It's creator. This
lower would certainly be no more dan
erous to the interests Of commerce in
he hands of the State, than in the
lands of the corporation, and yet the
is that the corporation may
exercise it but that the
tate cannot"
While on this subject we desire to
ny to the friends of supervision that
othing has taken place which has, in
he slightest degree, shaken our faith in
he right of the State to pass the law
reating the commission or in the result
f the contest now being waged be-
ween the people and the corporations;
or have we been disturbed in our
elief that four-fifths of the Democrats
f Mississippi endorse the action of the {

It will not do for those who have con-
demned the scandalous publication con-
corning Governor CLEyELAYD,to rejoice
at the dirty work of the Indianapolis
Sentinel in publishing ,editoriaIly, much
worse story on Mr.. Blaine. Respectable
men and journalists throughout the
world must be shocked to find that the
press can be put to such base uses.
The worst of the charge against Gov
ernor CLEVELAND was that be had been
guilty of the crime of seduction. This
no one now believes. The defence is
complete and overwhelming; the neees-
sary disclosures, though Notifying,
placing him in a position where his
friends can claim that his conduct has
been Of the sort in the circumstances,
which commends rather than damns
him.
But the charge against Mr. BLAINE is
more brutal and cruel than that made
against Governor CLEVELAND in that it
invades the sanctity of his domestic re-
lations and wounds the honor of his
family. Such a charge to a sensitive
person is not much worse, if true, than
false, and is a gross outrage upon not
only the persons implicated, but upon
the usages and customs of decent society.
The person who published the charges
against Mr. BLAINE, alike with the per
son who published the charges against
Governor CLEVELAND, deserves the
condemnation of all virtuous people.
