THURSDAY, April 81, 1904.
2. W. Magruder, E. E. Stickley
and j. Monroe Hotel are hereby
continued as cOmrs. in chancery of
this court.
w. II. Rice q cOmr. in chy. of
this court living remote from the
county seat where the business of
his office is to be transacted, and
where in the clerks Office of the
county, the papers in connection
with that business are on file and
ought to remain, is hereby remov-
ed from the office of com. in chy.
l. Hite Bird is hereby appointed
a cOmr. in chy. of the circuit court
of Shenandoah County.
Whereupon he took and subscri-
bed the oath required by law.
The above is the order entered
by Robt. II. Turner, judge of this
judicial circuit. No reason for do
ing a thing was ever Matched like
unto this if we except that of the
wolf which quarrelled with the
lamb for muddying the water be-
low.
If the Judge wanted to reclte
reasons, why not after this style?
Whereas, w. Fl. Rice lives IN
New Market, and, as commissioner
of this court, can do many things
pertinent to his office and conven-
lent to the people there; and,
Whereas w. II. Rice is only
possessed of one leg, theother hav-
ing been sacrificed in reasonable
enterprise against the government
while the said w. ii. Rice was
commanding a battery of artillery !;
and whereas, the said W. II. Rice
has several times voted against the
"beSt people, and, whereas, Judge
Newman did not modest the efficient
Master Commissioner, Mr.. p. w.
Magruder, nor the one-armed sol
dier, Mr.. E. e. Stickley; and
whereas, it is deemed best to make
all people of all ages come to Wood
stock on all occasions; and whereas
Mr.. l. Hite Bird is a near relative
of the Judge; and whereas the
Judge stops at Mr.. l. Hite Birds
house; and whereas Mr.. 1. Hite Bird
was, the generally acknowledged
inefficient commissioner of this
court; and whereas time and ex-
perience may improve him and
possibly qualify him for the Office,
therefore, the said W. II. Rice, of
New Market, with one leg, is re-
moved to make place for l. Hite
Bird Of Woodstock.

The sh-American mass-meeting
at Chickering Hall was a conclu-
sive proof that the Republican
campaign is aggressive. Every
speaker referred to the tariff as the
great issue of the election and
denounced the Democratic party
as trucking to England in advOcat-
ing free trade and in nominating
Governor Cleveland. The enthu-
siasm ofthe audience was infectious.
A great body of Irishmen, who
have steadily voted, for the ,Democra-
tic ticket year afteriyear emphatical-
" condemned both the nomination
and the platform of that party as
an insult to themselves and to all
American workingmen. Democra-
cy,with its free trade tendencies and
affiliations, was repudiated. Re-
publicanism, with its American
ideas and principles, was cordially
accepted.
This result ought not to surprise
any one who has made a careful
study of Irish history. For the
Irish people have a history and
they have not forgotten it. 1t is
the history ola people starved,
impoverished and crushed by the
cruel greed of England commercial
policy. From the time of the con-
quest to the opening of the present
century the English people acted
upon the principle that Ireland
must be made market for their
manufactures and its own industries
sacrificed. One great industry
after another was destroyed By
repressive legislation. The Irish
were forbidden to export live cattl G
and a great trade was broken up
in the interest Of English famers
In like manner sheep-farming and
the manufacture of wOollen goods
were interrupted, When English
brewers we're growing rich, Irish
brewers were forced to import hops
from England and were not allow
ed to export malt or beer. Until
177l the expectation of woollens,
glass and other Irish manufac-
lures was prohibited in the interest
of England. The general effect of
English legislation was to destroy
Irish industries, to cut off Ireland
from the exchanges of the world,
and to force the population back
upon an exhausted soil; and then
by means of the minute subdivision
of land and iniquitous laws to place
agriculture on a starvation basis.
There was only one exception, and
it serves to show what the island
might have done if its industries
had been promoted by generous
policy. By notifications of the
Navigation acts and by the payment
of bounties the manufacture Of
white and brown linens was encour-
aged in the North of Ireland. 1t
has remained a profitable industry
to this day-a witness to the
prosperity which might easily have
been secured if English greed had
not prevailed.

How much better it would have
been for Cleveland if he had been
satisfied with an Office he could
fill, instead of aspiring to one he is

he must experience the humiliation

he will be beaten even more than

the disease away from Southern

MORMON LAWS.
Reply Of Delegate Cain to Gov. MUIR
rays Message to the Legislature.

Washington, January 26.-John Il.
Cain, delegate in congress from Juan,
has addressed communication TO the
general manager of the Associated
Press in regard to Misrepresentation
and perversions of fact made by Gov.
Murray In his message to the legisla-
ture, evidently with the purpose OF
deceiving the Eastern public.
The delegate says that he 1.-THE gov
ernor) asks repeal of the law
making escheats result to the
perpetual emigration fund of the
company. This law was repealed
eight years ago by enactment OF sec
ti0n 7l3, compiled laws OF Utah,
which provides II the de-
cedent leaves no husband,
wife, or kindred, the estate
escheats to tie territory for the sup
port of the common schools. This ~
the law now, and has been since 1870.
He misrepresents also the effect OF
the act incorporating the Mormon
church when he Gays IL IL law re-
speeding the establishment OF religion.
Ii did not propose 70
establish any religion, but simply
made the Mormon church bouy cor
porate with powers not inconslslent
with or repugnhnt 10 the CONSTITUTIONS
of the United States. Other churches,
including the Presbylerians, have
been In the territory, and only so much
of the act of Incorporating the cnurch
as might establish, MAINTAIN, pro-
tect or cDuutenance the praclice
OF polygamy was disapproved by
congress. The clinpllers OF tue terri-
lorial laws in 1875, Iulllng 10 find any
such provision In IL ~ named by con-
vress. included the entire act in the
com piIa Ion; but no part OF II was then
or ever reenacted by tue legislature,
whose acts TO be valid must be cpiisis-
tent with the laws OF congress, or else
they are null and void.
His statement that this law vests
ecclesiastIcai courts with authority
which may be only exercised In the
United States civil courts Is entirely

special to the Gazette.
Cleburne, January 26.-Your CORE
spondent this afternoon made a thor
ough examination of the new johnson
county jail, " hich Is now rapidly neay-
ing completion, Mr.. Lee Slaughter, the
contractor for the masonry, kindly
showing him through the building.
The jail is constructed in the shape OF
the letter Il, and has sixty feet front,
and extends siXty-seven feet to the
rear. The front portion is two stories
high, containing on the ground noor
offices, a receptiOn-room and Kitchen.
upstairs are separate cells for female.
Juvenile and insane prisoners, as well
AS sleeping-rooms for jailer and guards.
The rear projection is one story. in
height, .27 by SO feet
in the clear. Two tiers of cells, four
above and four below, capable of ac-
commQdating six prisoners each, are
arranged in this room. Bath rooms
and closets, accessible by means of a
well secured corridor, are at the end of
each tier. A space of four feet all
around the cages makes room for
stoves to heat the atmosphere in the
winter. Numerous windt VS. on the
north and south sides, well secured by
gTatings, will give plenty of air and
ventilation in summer. The floors are
composed of u coat of cement eight
inches thick, underneath which there
is a foundation of gravel and stone
well packed. The doors and stairways
are OF iron, the cages and locks and
OF the best steel plate aud, the bnlld-
ing is built of the best quality OF Gle
burne brick, than which no better
brick is made in Texas. The Jail will
cost Johnson county $27 900, and Is
well worth it. Mr.. Lee Slaughter,
the builder, has the contract for the
Fort Worth Jail, and an examination
of the work here will give an idea OF
what that building will be.
The well hich Is being sunk by
the contractors to obtain "a supply OF
water for the water works system Is
twenty-siX feet in diameter and has
reached depth of twenty-five feet. A
stratum of blue limestone was reached
some time since, and FREQUENT blasting
is necessary. Work is proceeding en-
ergetically by large force OF men.
The boilers for the pumps have arrived
and are being placed in position. The
pipe Is being distributed along the
streets which will be traversed by the
mains.
A cock fight at the usual place took
place to-day.
The town was crowded with people
