So Mr.. BLAINE is not going to prove
that Indianapolis Sentinel story SLAM
der until December %. That win be
after the election, and he will not have
a chance to "choke the lie down their
base threats" during his canyassing
tour. For man who started in so inn
petuously to "vlndicate the honor of
his family" Mr.. Blaine doesn't seem
to care how long the vindication is de
layed.

Yielaing Fruit.

The occurrences in this city on last
Saturday and Sunday are bearing le-
gitimste fruit in the comments of the
newspapers thereon. These comments
may or may not be prompted by hos
tility to Fort Worth As much as by re-
gard for the enforcement Of law. The
motive is immaterisl. The text was
furnished by Fort Worth in u demon
stration against the peaceful execution
Of legal writ, and the adverse criti-
cisms, no matter by what inspired, af-
feet our entire people. PerversIon of
the facts or suppression of the truth
will avail nothing. Admission of the
truth will be the best guide to a remedy
for the spirit that was displayed to our
detriment. The crowd at the depot
did not assemble there for the pur-
pose OF insisting upon the OBJ
servsnce of the writ of habeas
corpus issued by Judge Hood. The
crowd gathered at the depot because
Mr. COPYRIGHT was held there under
arrest, to be taken to New Mexico upon
a requisition in all things conforming
to law. after the crowd had assem-
bled 10y far themajor portion oft from
curiosity the writ was issued by
Judge Hood, who had, fortunately,
gone to the depot to take the train for
Weatherford. Then 1t was that the
threatening protest against the execu-
tion Of one legal writ became the
clsmor for the observance of another
legal writ. The men who were at the
depot did not gather there to aid in
the enforcement of law, but the observ-
ance they clamored for was of writ
issued after they gathered = and
the whole proceeding was not q tri-
umph OF law, albeit the officers deserve
no little credit for getting the prisoner
away, out of back door, and up town
to the county jail while the gentlemen,
so clamorous for an observance of law,
were being detained by speeches made
in front of the building. The prisoner
was legally held as such, and it was
not triumph of law that his release
was threatened on Saturday and ac-
complished on Sunday.
No fault can be found with Mr..
COPYRIGHT for getting away-that is
his business; no fault can be found
with his friends who desired to aid him
to escape what they believed
would be mob violence in New Mexico
that is their business. But that so
large a number of men can be so
quickly gathered together, not to aid
in the execution Of law, is the business
of every citizen of Fort Worth, and it
is also very much the business OF this
city that such occurrences are made to
give tone aud character TO it and all its
people.
The escape without the demonstra-
ton Saturday night would have
reflected only on those who had the
prisoner in charge, viz: the
state rangers and the New
Mexico officer. But when the
two occurrences are considered, the
last will be regarded by all as the
natural sequence Of the first, and the
disgrace OF It All will fall on the city
aud the people Of the city.

Another railroad War B,ewipr,

Chicago, Feb.' THE notice which
the Union Pacific gave of the trans.con-
tinental association expires to-day and
the officials of that road announce that
they will abide by the notice and report
no more business to the pool. The COM
missioner contends that the notice given
was irregular and expected that a meet.
ing of the association would be held
shortly to consider the matter. The
Rock Island road has given the usual
thirty days notice of its intention to
withdraw from its Northwestern traffic
association, and the Northwestern road
has given a similar notice with reference
to the control of the Iowa traffic associa.
tion. These two associations are not
pools. but traffic agreements for the
maintenance OF uniform rates with heavy
penalties for. violation. The Withdraw.
ing roads contend that the agreements
of both were violated, and the claim is
made that unless the difficulties are ad.
justed before the expiration of the no.
tices there will be war IN the northwest.
