MARLIN. Ten, Aug. 23.- District
court has been In session here for week
now. Some important business has
been transacted. The case of Murphy
and Magee VS.. Moore ct al. has engaged
the attention of the court for the last
two days. This is suit of trespass to
try title, and is undergoing its fourth
trial, so your correspondent has been
informed by counsel in the case.
Twice verdict was had for the de-
PENDANT, and new trial granted, and
once hung jury was the result.
The Hon. b. w. Rimes, district
Judge of this the Fourteenth Judicial
district, and who is the Democratic
nominee, having been nominated at
Waco on the 10Th inst. by reclamation,
by his impartiality and kindness, both
to Jury and witnesses, has become a
unanimous favorite among the people
of this district. Judge Rimes is quiet,
thoughtful judge, and is seldom reversed
by our supreme and appellate courts.
Ever respectful of the rights and feel
ings ofothers he is 4 universal favorite
among the people. His election Is an
assured fact. So far he has no opposi-

The agony il over. France has
grown weary of waiting for the Chi
nese government to pay the indemnity
demanded, and has turned her batter
les upon the Inflated city OF Foo Chow.
As might be expected there was but
feeble resistance offered, only one Chi
nese battery having the courage to
reply TO the iron messengers. A
French victory has been gained at the
outset which Is likely to be followed
by others in rapid succession, as the
war has been declared IN real earnest,
and If the French are true to the
teachings of Napoleon, there will be
no cessation of hostilities and no time
granted their adversaries to recuper-
ate. Other cities and strongholds will
be attacked. While the celestials may
blow and buster, the degenerate race
cannot hope TO cope with the disci-
plined Frenchmen, no matter what
the numerical strength of the defend
ants may he. The attitude of the
European powers towards each other,
and especially the jealousy which
exists between Germany and England,
will have tendency to repress any
desire on the part of either country
to Join In the melee. This will be the
case at least so long rs the French
have the caution, as in the ease of the
bombardment of Foo Chow, to protect
the European settlements from any in
convenience or harm. II is not certain
however that this can he done at all

The State Ticket.
Big Springs Paragraph


The Houston convention renomi-
mated the old state ticket without an
exception, save Gibbs for lieutenant
governor. The two.thirds rule was
retained, and resolutions We're
adopted indorsing the present lease
system. Consequently there is hut
little to be hoped for by the people of
the West, and perhaps two more years
to exc ont under the same miserable,
grinding and discriminating admins
tration, and see our western prairies
lie dormant because Of no immigration.
II might be preferable for the Demo-
Gratis of West Texas to give this ticket
and its leaseiaw Endorsement their sup
port rather than have some political
tricksIer placed at the head of affairs,
but how they will act remains
for them to determine. The Panta.
graph has opposed the lease SYSTEM be-
cause 1t thought IL an unwise and UNI
just law, and especially detrimental

Why Davenport Fails Again.
Chicago Herald.


The reason why John |. Davenport.
who is widely known in this country
as very smart and INSCRIPTIONS
party worker, cannot manufacture
any enthusiasm over his periodical ex-
posures of the "Morey letter forgery" is
plain. In the first place. there is "a
very deep.seated conviction that the
letter was not a forgery at all. 1t re-
cures no disbelief in the honesty
OF Gen. Garfield to regard the letter
as genuine. His views on the subject
OF immigration were well known.
They were in harmony with the
religious element of his party, which
advocated then and does yet that this
republic is the asylum for all the
oppressed of the earth. During the
campaign of 1850 Gen. Garfield had
three or four of his ''chum cabinetr with
him at Mentor continually. Thomas
Nichol, Gen. Swain, Marshal Henry
and Others served him as secretaries,
He was In receipt Of scores of letters
daily, to which 1t was impossible for
MN TO reply in person aud which it
Is known these secretaries did answer.
oiten without consultation with him.
Being familiar with his views on most
subjects, they did not hesitate to ex-
press opinions In response to questions
deemed by them of minor Importance.
IL might easily have happened that
one OF them not very astute.
should have written the MOrey letter,
believing that he was saying no more
than his employer had frequently ut /.
tered In public speeches and would re-
peat should occasion offer Doubtless
hundreds of formal letters were pre-
sented to Gen. Garfield daily for
signature. and II is not ut all likely
that he had time or took the trouble to
read them at all. No one pretends
that the body of the Morey letter is in
nus handwriting, but the signature Is
his, or an exact imitation of IL.
~ the second place, the silence with
which the letter was received by Gen
Garfield until II had been pronounced
forgery by the national committee
proved very conclusively that the can.

not prevail In greater proportion
among our people than in any city In
the state or In the West. The officers
OF the law doubtless are doing their
best TO apprehend and punish male
factors OF these classes, and they APP
pear TO have been remarkably success
ful. IL any have escaped punishment
that Is due more to the juries who rem
dered nugatory verdicts than to coun-
ty or city officials, who have never
failed to arrest and prosecute crimi'
nails who place themselves in the way
of arrest and prosecution. If there
has been laxity in dealing with any
class of offenders 1t has been toward
the gamblers, and against these
the efforts of the citizens meeting
should be directed. The result of the
recent prosecutions should admonish
the participants in that meeting rather
to exert their influence In favor of ed
ucating a public sentiment that Will
force juries to convict when the city
authorities prosecute; or, II the iault
lies In inefficient laws, to urge the ell.
actment OF ordinances that will stand
the strain of q prosecution. Such a
course will have better effects than the
passage Of long string of resolutions
which are libelous upon the city and
its population, and which, IL true,
could have no power to do good. THE
GAZETTE believes it speaks for great
majority of the people of Fort Worth
In saying that the best course for the
citizens meeting to pursue Is to Use
temperate language In pledging to the
municipal authorities their support In
enforcing the law against all classes,
and in amending the ordinances where
they prove defective. This Is all the
officers want, and it will be enough to
spur them on to u Jealous performance
of their duty.

The Democratic Vioe'P Presidential Can
didate,

didate
The excellent brevity of Mr.. Hen
bricks letter of acceptance does not
leave the country without a knowledge
of his views upon public questions.
Mr.. Hendricks has been in public life
for upwards of thirty years, and he has
never been silent upon any great po-
litical question. 1t was not necessary,
therefore, for him to write long let
ter of acceptance, defining "his posi-
ton" In contrast with the
labored and illogical effort of
Logan, the Republican candidate, the
dozen or so OF lines of the Democratic
candidate for vice-president, simply
announcing his acceptance of the nom
nation, make a splendid and states
man-like paper. This is not the first
letter of acceptance penned by Mr..
Hendricks. As the candidate OF the
Democratic party for vlce-president
in 1876, he then gave the country a

his views. 1t was useless for him TO
have repeated himself in his second
letter of acceptance. Eight years ago,
speaking of the need of reform III gov
eminent, he said: "Nothing can be
well with us or with our affairs until
the public conscience, shocked by the

which he represents, and which has
fostered him rs he has fostered 1t, is

alone must not be made the soape-goat
for the enormities of the system which
inIects the public service, and threat.
ems the destruction of cur institutions.
No man could have created IL, and the
removal of no one man can amend it,.
IL Is thoroughly corrupt, and must be
swept remorselessly away by the selec.

Upon the question of revenue reform,
then subordinate in the public mind to
that of general reform and the financial
issue, Mr., Hendricks said: with the
industries of the people there have been
frequent interierences. Our plat form
truly says that many industries have
been impoverished to substitute few.
Our commerce has been degraded to
an inferior position on the high seas
manufactures have been diminished
agriculture has been embarrassed, and
the distress of the industrial classes
demands that these things shall
be reformed"
Mr.. Hendricks at that time took a
strong position in favor of protection
to American citizens, long before
Blaine had thought of a "jingo" policy
to captivate the foreign voters. Said
he; "Our treaties with foreign powers
should also be revised and amended,
In so far as they leave citizens OF
foreign birth in any particular less
secure In any country on earth than
they would be If they had been born
upon our own COLL"
Are not these quotations sufficient IA
