some fear of the consequences attend
ing such violation of law. He also
adverted to the bad blotch upon the
public reputation of Texas mob law.
However, If there was more law ad-
ministered by the courts, there would
be less of it administered by the mob.
There would be less call for it, and
fewer instances of It's application. Yet
it is an unmixed and unmitigated evil
in every instance. Judge Moore
discharges the highest and most
sacred duty attached to his exalted
office when he thus delivers a telling
ing blow at an abuse, and evil which
overtops any and all others belonging
to the administration of the law.
We commend this wise policy OF
Judge Moore warmly to his fellow
judges. THE STATESMAN would
drive this lesson home, not only to
them but the people as we'll, with all
the force it can command. We are
convinced that in this policy lies the
greatest and surest safeguard Of all
the dearer and more valuable interests
of society. Let both the judges and
the people lay Judge Moore's timely
lesson to heart, and profit by it.

Easter Day.

We cannot refrain from recurring
in formal way to the splendid OBJ
serYance Of the easter festival which
occurred here on Sunday. Indeed, the
the occasion was most glorious one,
and gloriously was it observed. The
magnificent floral display at the
churches denotes the care with which
the culture of flowers is pursued here.
Pyramids, columns and wreathes of
the rarest treasures of Flora were
seen on all hands. White and the
creamy richness of the Marshall Mel
rose were predominant everywhere.
Large and well dressed congregations
thronged the churches, and the street
scenes after service were but little
short in interest of that in the churches
during the morning hour. Elegant
equipages, with their weight of beau
titul and elegantly dressed ladies, the
sidewalks crowded with others
equally elegantly attired, the con-
verging and diverging tides, all went
to make up scene of interest rarely
met with in even the older cities,
east or in Europe. A stranger wit
Messing it would get an excellent idea
of the wealth, culture and refinement
of Austin, which he would not be able
to secure in any other way. We are
very proud of our beautiful capital
city and It's graceful and cultured peo-
pie. Its fame has gone out widely in
the state, and who, after witnessing
the gorgeous easter festival, shall
say she does not deserve it?

The Season..

The present season is almost unpar-
alleled in Texas. 1t rarely happens
that so much rain falls in early spring.
Although the bulk of the rain so far
has come to us in showers-no general
rain has fallen-yet, the showers have
extended pretty generally over the
state, and the ground is thoroughly
saturated, some places to the extent of
seriously interfering with the opera
lions of the farmers. This is unfortu-
nate, particularly when we take into
consideration the lateness of the sea-
son, so far as temperature is concern
ed. We have had the lowest average
temperature this spring ever known
in the state. These circumstances not
only entail additional labor on the
farmers. but they leave them less time
in which to accomplish it, and in addi-
tion give them more grass to contend
with. 1t will now take the liveliest
sort of work to the end of the season
to keep the growing crop clean. There
will be little time for anything but
hard work in the field. In all this
part of the state, notwithstanding the
excess of rain, the crops look remark.
ably well. They are vigorous, and, for
wonder, well along. Hard work and
unremitting care will give Texas the
largest crop this season which has
marked her history for many years.
We sincerely trust that our farmers
will stand by their own and the states
best interests in this way, even if pol
iticS are allowed to drag a little.

Republican Felicity.

The republican patriots are a riven
lot be sure. They are united in none
of the states nor in the nation. The
whole party is split and divided into a
thousand diverse and bitterly hostile
factions. The feeling existing be-
tween Logan and all other aspirants
is far more acrimonious than that ex-
listing between them and the demo-
Gratis. Logan Is a fire brand of note
among them. The eastern, or more
cultured wing-the men who want
Blaine, Edmunds, or Arthur-look up
on the pretensions of the western par
venue with all-unutterable disdain
and disgust. Then, too, it is not to be
supposed that the velvet-clawed es-
thetes of the east are less bitter or less
selfish, for all their fine clothes and ell
egant mannerism. The war is bitter,
and it is bitter all along the line. I'm
less there are many and important
concessions, the Chicago convention
win explode beyond doubt, or be
forced to nominate the henchman of
some one of the aspirants, as they did
Garfield on the last occasion. In New
York tho republicans are as badly
riven as in Texas. The Conkling fac
lions war with all the others, and all
The others war with the Conkling's.
In Pennsylvania they are measurably

This is the parting salute contained
In a note just finished TO a young
Mexican friend. OF course do not
intend to kiss her feet, but it Is the
proper caper here, and l have con-

Judicial Power.

In dealing with the various phases
of crime and the i'll effects of all
forms of lawlessnes5 the Judiciary of
the state has power and a potency
which is all too seldom used-more's
the pity. This power may be exer-
cised in various ways. Either one of
them or all of them are effective in
their ways and in their several de-
grees. In cases before the courts on
trial or in process of punishment
for convicted and clearly established
crime, perhaps this power can be used
most effectively. In wise and deter
mined effort to convict when guilt is
plain and in relentless determination
to punish where guilt is established,
lies the great moral deterrent. We
have no sympathy with the principle
of vengeance, properly so considered.
Taken away from its quality of exam
pie we value it not in any degree.
The judge of court in a charge to
the grand jury, and always in his
addresses to the bar, to litigants and to
petit juries, has glorious chance to
drive home useful and active lessons
upon public policy and conduct.
The papers and public speakers
can only fight these things from
distance and with muzzled weap-
ons while the judges of our
courts fight them within arms length
and with ungloved hand. The Judge
who misses an opportunity to do this
and with all the force and effect of his
high position and power is recreant to
every duty of an officer as well as of
a man and citizen. Too often the ju-
dietary of Texas, in those districts,
where the restraints of law rest most
lightly upon the people, just where
this sort of judicial nerve and devo-
ton is most needed, enter into the |
feelings and prejudices of the people |
and prostitute their sacred Office to |
win popularity with the masses. This
is one of the evils of an elective judi
ciary. The ward hummer may muir
der, rob or cut fences with perfect i'm
punity If only he has political fol-
lowing numerous and powerful
enough to make his countenance and
a consideration.
This evil of a complaisant political
judiciary is being corrected in meas
ure, but the progress being made is
not satisfactory. The power the
Judges hold is too valuable for law
and order to be suffered to remain
among the negative forces of public
administration. Judge Moore, of the
Bastrop district, on Monday, made
/ new departure which should win
or him the universal plaudit "well
lone" In his address to the grand
ury he took occasion to point out ;
md severely condemn the crime of
ence- cutting. OF course this
admirable address was made
o the grand jury, but it
wholesome and salutary lesson will
ink deep into the public mind, and it S

Personal Politics,

One of the gravest evils with which
the democratic party is contending to-
day, in Texas especially, is the undue
weight and force of personalism in
politics. A strong man with great in
dividuality and personal magnetism
gathers about him strong personal
following. These become more OF
less strongly attached to him as he is
able to impress them either with res
pect for his genius or his real or sup
posed power to confer benefits in the
future. These are the claquers, the
henchmen, the personal servitors.
They constitute the inner cir
Gle, the change ringers, the at
tendants who are to deal with
all who spproach, smiles for those who
can be reached that way, honied words
and specious promises for those who
feed on chaff, and war for the hostile.
Woe be to the unfortunate who wins
the enmity of the little chief of the
sweet coterie; frowns, averted faces,
hostile whispers, innuendoes and dis
his sure award. There is
above or outside of the smiles
of the chief which possesses for the
inner arcana men of our modern po-
litical combinations feather weight
of value. To win that, the principles
of life time, the friendships of boy

Green county, Arkansas, assaulted the
jailer last night and escaped, after Sc
curing arms from the jailers house. A
p osse of fifty citizens started in pur-
suit and pitched battle occurred, in
which over one hundred shots were
fired. Breckman, a burglar was kill
ed, and three other persons wounded
and secured-the remainder escaped.
I he jailor received dangerous wounds.
MILWAUKEE, April 10. : Fifteen
prisoners i'm the county jail attempted
to escape at ten o'clock this morning.
One called for coal handing out two
shuttles to Jailer Walsh, who, in re-
turning them, again unlocked the
grated door. As he passed he
was seized by two men, another
threw ashes in his eyes, and a rush
was made by the remainder, but
Welsh tore himself free, slammed the
door, and pushed the bolt far enough
to hold the door fast. His wife heard
the disturbance, and summoned the
police from the station in the other
half the building. The prisoners were
then put in cells. Sunday morning
had been chosen for the escape because
Welsh was alone, and they were al
lowed to gather in the corridor to lis
ten to preaching later In the day.
Most of the prisoners are highway
men and burglars. Jailor Welsh suf
fered severely, being nearly blinded
with ashes and cut ABOUT the face and
hands. His clothing was nearly torn
from his body.

knights Of PyUhias.

This is one Of those wonderful or
ders which have grown up within the
century and which startlc men no less
by the rapidity of their growth than by
the brilliancy of their achievements.
Founded upon the immutable princi-
pies of masonry as is odd fellowship,
the order of which we are speaking is
yet more flexible, more agile aud far
better adapted to its mission of active
good, quick relief of suffering human
ity and that nearness of sympathy
which Is its one great quail
ity, rising above all 9TH
ers, as Blanco towers above
all the other peaks of the Sangre de
Christie chain. The objects Of the
noble order are such as win the gener-
Gus, the noble and the benevolent of all
ages. ranks, conditions in life, and of
all nationalities. 1t has grown to be a
power in Texas, and power upon
which all good, noble and pure people
smile with approval. Its rolls
comprise some Of the most illus.
trious of the citizens of the state. Its
destinies are controlled by the wisest
and best men of the state, and itE
large membership is instinct with
vitality, and devotedly attached to it,
lgIorious principles. Too much goot

united, but in Ohio they are most
sadly by the ears. John Sherman is
not man to be sat down upon with
impunity. Charley Foster and all the
other combinations are strong and
hostile. So too of Indiana, and Hi
nois is in the same row and is only
unit in her state matters, but in the
national pot she is just as badly split
up as any of the others.
In Texas the party is wretchedly
torn up. The old struggle for the
placing of the federal patronage is the
nut of the battle. Around this point
revolves and circles all the intense
devotion, the eagerness and the bitter
ness of the ambitious aspirants. Next
o the intense satisfaction the patriots
experience in personal success comes
that which is found in chOpping some
poor, less fortunate aspirant's head
off. 1t is the regular old rule or ruin
policy, and rule or ruin has been on
top for about equal terms. There is
but little advantage out so far as past
success is concerned. Davis wore his
life out in the struggle, and the long
gray locks of Norton are a pitious
record of struggle for the same oh
ject-rule or ruin. Jack Evans Is a
prematurely old man, not that he has
Slapped his energies in unraveling the
knotty points of either law or party
policy, but because his intense devo-
ton to the fortunes of Jack Evans,
and his intense desire to beat those OF
the others impelled him to battle be-
yond his strength, or the strength
of mortal man. Had the republican
leaders of Texas been more intent on
winning converts to republican prin-
ciples, and less devoted to personal
ambitions and selfish schemes, the
democratic majority had not been
half as large as it is to-day. The
leopard cannot change his spots mol
the Ethiope his skin. They will fight
Just as long as the republican party
has the disposition of the federal
patronage in Texas. Herein lies the
safety of the democracy, and this it is
which affords us the margin which
permits the latitude enjoyed by demo
Gratis here, inside of party lines.
We have nothing to fear from TIT
republicans until we make such {
blunder as will inspire reasonable
Lope of state success. Whenever tha
occurs, we will see those adverse ant
hostile elements coalescing in tn
most kindly way, and the energy ant
virus which have been busy at tn
task of rending each other, directed
