THE autobiography of the late Samuel K.
Hoshour, from the John Burns publishing
house, st. Louis. Mo-, has just made its appear
ance. 1t is a handsome little volume Of 233
pages, neatly gotten up, with life-like portraits
of Prof. Hoshour and his venerable wife, who
yet survives him. The work has been brought
out through the supervision of Mrs. E.. j. Price,
the Oldest daughter of Prof. Hoshour, and is, in
beautiful language, affectionately dedicated to
her mother. Prof. Hoshour was a remarkable
man, and the story of his lie and experience
may be read with profit by everyone. AS a min
lister of the gospel, he was well known through
out the State, and often beyond its limits. AS a
teacher in the public schools and colleges in the
State he was still better known, and as well an
preciated. His students, scattered throughout
the West, everywhere hold in affectionate re-
membrance the name Of their teacher and friend
of long years ago. To the old students of the
late Professor, and any old friends, in fact.
throughout the State, this little volume will be
welcome. 1t ought to be in the families of his
old friends everywhere. He was an accom-.
plished scholar, a man Of sincere piety, and
irreproachable purity of fife. Few men have left
behind examples SO worthy of imitation.

THE latest alleged faith-cure-evidently en-
tered in the sweepstakes class-has been per
formed with signal success upon the very much
distorted and diseased body of Mrs. Mary E.
Douglass. of New York city. Entering upon
the race of life handicapp ed with a spinal dis
ease inherited from her mother, she always
had a weak back A complication of diseases
that attacked her finally settled in her spine,
and after suffering for four years with spinal
Inflammation she was finally stricken with
curvature of the spine. That was four years
ago. During the last two and a half years she
had liberation of the stomach and assesses.
For eigb' years she had been confined to her
bed. Her left hip was drawn out of place and
her ankles turned as though she were club
footed, and her feet became paralyzed She
may have had several ailments that escaped
attention when this catalogue was made up, but
the array presented is certainly formidable
enough for all practical purposes. DR.. Ella
Haines had been attending her as her
medical adviser, but without appar-
ent benefit. Then the faith-cure plan was
suggested, and three believers were brought to-
gether to make the test. Mr.. Sanford talked

cure to the Lord, and then the three knelt
around her bed. Dr.. Sanford prayed, Mrs. Bald
win pressed hard on her spine, while she too
prayed, and the pain, Mrs. Douglass says,
seemed to leave me right away. Then the gen
tlemen left, and Mrs. BALDWIN asked me to get
up. | told her l cauld not, but l sat up in bed.
Finally she coaxed me to put my foot on the
floor, and | did so.n She was then asked to rise,
while Mrs. Baldwin silently prayed. Il did so,
and for the first time in eight years / stood on
my feet Finally she called DR.. Sanford in.
He prayed that my limb might be strengthened,
and as he prayed | felt my leg slip into place,
and saw my foot on the floor. i began to have
faith then, and started to take two or three steps
around the room" The healed invalid testi6es
that no return of the maladies has been indi-
Gated, and DR.. Ella Haines announces that the
curvature of the spine has disappeared. Thus
scoffers and unbelievers have been routed from
another stronghold, and will be compelled here
after to demand that a new limb shall be made
by faith to grow on a stump" before they &C.

On the oath of July, 1872,

On the z4tn OF July, 1917, the Times SAID:
eve have no hesitation in saying that he
GSchurzl has rendered himself responsible be-
fore his fellow-citizens for a deliberate false
hood"
On the oath of July, 1876, the New York
Times said of Mr.. Hendricks:
"He was the friend and associate of the
desperate men who led the Knights of the
Golden Circle, and the companion and adviser
of those who undertook to strip Governor
Morton Of his powers and to rob the State of
all means to assist in the suppression Of the
rebellion. y AL through those trying
years, when the great contest was being waged
as distinctly and with as important conse-
quences in Indiana as on the battle-felds of
the South, Hendricks voice was never raised
in behalf of the government and never whis-
pered a syllable of condemnation against the
rebels. One motive has seemed to be specially
strong and constant in Hendricks breast
during nearly his whole political career. 1t is
an uncomfortable hatred Of the negroes.
: : = He devoted his best efforts to pre-
venting negro immigration into Indiana. He
supported the fugitive-slave law in its most
offensive and unconstitutional features. He
opposed the freeing of the fugitives who came
into our camp from the rebel lines; he opposed
emancipation in.the District of Columbia; he
resisted the proclamation Of President Lincoln;
he voted against e~nlisting negro soldiers; he
would not consent to pay those who were en-
listed; and finally, after the war, he sustained
the policy of Andrew johnson, which must
have resulted in placing the freedmen COM
pletely under the heel of their former owners"
And Carl Schurz, in 1876, said Of Mr.. Hen
bricks:
''Who is Mr.. Hendricks AS is universally
known, he is the pet candidate of the infa-
~tionists. If, then, Mr.. Tilden should be
elected, and then die; if any fatal accident
should befall him, what them Then Mr..
Hendricks, the leader of the Democratic in
fationists, would be the President of the
United States. y If, then, there are
friends of hard money who can compose them
selves in the presence of an express repudia-
ton of a resumption promise, made in the
form Of a law, and Of the possibility of a Pres
ident Hendricks, let them reconcile it to their
consciences, not u.s."

working together in the Democratic party in
the interest of reform

ST. LOUIS, Aug. l6.-A very sensa-
tional suicide occurred here tonight,
which is likely to revive an old and sad
affair and cause a good deal of comment
in society circles. Russell II. Tevis,
who, it viii be remembered, shot and
seriously wounded Frank Iglehart two
wears ago last winter for over-intimate
relations with his wife, went to his
home, No. 2S5i ST. Louis avenue, about
10 o'clock tonight, and as far as can
now be learned, had some angry words
with his e,remarking that he thought
it would he better for all of them to die,
evidently meaning himself wife and
large pistol from the wash stand
drawer and made demonstration
towards his wife, but she discovering his
purpose, fled from the room. Tevis
then placed pistol to his own head and
sent a 80 calibre bullet through his
brain and fell dead on the floor. Not
much can be learned about the case to-
night, as Mrs. Tevis is suffering from
Mysteries and her PHYSICIANS won't allow
the reporters to sec her,
but it is known that Tevis
bought ont his business partner
to-day and had been drinking tonight
ard was I'm q highly nervous and eXcit-
ed condition before he went home. He
was young man of3i years and Of a very
nervous temperament His wife is a
daughter Of General Reese, Of the Uuited
States Army, and was involved in an
unfortunate affair with Young Iglahart
| two years ago, for which hcr husband
got a divorce, but some months later
they met in Chicago became reconciled
and were remarked and have since been
! living together.

IT is possible that CLEVELAND may
carry Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
sey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Kansas. But should he carry
Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, which is probable, the Re-
publican party would be so badly
broken up that it would never again at
tempt Presidential canvass under its
present organization. The probabilities
are there would be fusion between its
broken fragments and the Prohibi-
tionists, or again, the old Know-Noth-
ing organization might be revived and
the three elements united in opposition
to the Democracy. In the event of the
defeat of the Republican party it will
undoubtedly pass away and he known
no more forever.

The ARREST oE GOV. IRELAND.

For a Federal Judge to arrest the |
Governor of great State wouldbo n
most extraordinary proceeding at any
time, but to order his arrest upon a
charge OF conspiracy because the Gov
ernor exercised the pardoning power
toward criminal who was invoking
the assistance Of the United States
courts, is still more extraordinary
proceeding. 1t is in keeping, however,
with the arbitrary course of the Federal
Judiciary. A man seems to forget that
there is such a thing IA n State or state
constitution Immediately upon mount
ing a Federal bench for life.
The pardoning OF FRANCOIS, under
the circums tanccs and for the reasons
alleged, may have been questionable
from q standpoint Of policy or sound
reasoning, but the Governors action in
the exercise of that power was certainly
q matter that no organized Government
or judicial system on earth has a right
to review by the arrest of the States OK
ccutiVc. Toarrost the Governor for par
doning man, ON the theory that the act
was conspiracy against the United
States, because the effect of the pardon
would be to remove u cause for writ of
habeas corpus, is one of the curiosities
of the courts. II is arrcsting man be-
cause he did kindness TO another
which that other was seeking from u
third party.
But the nice legal question arises, can
q Governor of u state he arrested during
his term of Office for any cause other
than breach of the peace, especially
when he Is Embarrassing the power con.
ferred upon him by the State constitu-
ton, power, too, that is subject to no
control or revision on earth9 II so, then
the whole state machinery can be ar.
rested and imprisoned and the sover-
eighty or autonomy of the State he des.
troyed by any Federal Judge, upon
n petition alleging conspiracy against
the United States, because the enforce.
J ment Of state statute or constitutional
provision may be thoughtby some low
criminal to DO in conflict with Federal
statutes.
Such doctrine is proposterous. II is
contrary to the spirit Of all our constitu'
tons, Of the organic law Of tho general
government itself. Tho Federal iu
dietary has no such power, and 1t will
doubtless be found that there Is nc
amount Of legal acumen that can ostab
fish the authority in the Federal Judicial
ny to arrest Governor for the oxercis,
of the pardoning power, no matter what

The people of the State are better in
formed regarding the objects of the free
grass advocates than the barons sup
pose. They know that syndicates, com
posed of capitalists in England, Scot
land, New York, Boston, Chicago, St.
Louis and other localities outside of the
State, come to Texas, occupy lands with
largo herds OF cattle, make immense for
tunes thereby and never spend dollar of
their profits in improvements here or in
developing the country. They also know
that these same companies will occupy
the lands and consume the grass whether
they pay for it or get ii free. The know
further, that the resources derived from
the lease of these school lands will reach
several hundred thousands Of dollars per
annum, which is expended in supporting
the public schools. Without this reve-
nue. the taxes Of the whole people would
have to be increased to make up in
amount what now accrues from the lease
system. The question settles itself down
to this: viii the people of Texas permit

oreign syndicate free of cost, and in
crease their schoolta double or thrible

science, not a subject of judicial inquiry.
People may differ as to the soundness
of the reasoning or policy upon which
FRANCOIS was pardoned and the correct
ness of the motive, but those are mat
ters exclusively for the peoples atten-
ton.
The act, whatever the motive, circum-
stances, or effects, was the exercise of
an absolute, unlimited, and yet constitu-
tional power, and as such not subject
to judicial revision. The case may or
may not amount to much, either one
way or the other, but it is likely to at
