Perhaps there Is no house in Fort
Worth whose destruction by are would
have been more generally deplored
than was that Of ]. II. Brown Thurs.
day night. The expressions Of regret
were all but universal, and the feeling
Of his townspeople must be grateful to
Mr.. Brown. All our citizens realize
and appreciate the grand business ca
paclty and energy OF the man, and
have felt something akin to personal
pride In his wonderful success in
building up trade second to
none in the entire Southwest and
In making tributary to Fort Worth
hundreds OF miles Of territory in ev-
cry direction. Mr.. J. H. Brown is one
OF those whose pluck, energy and bust
moss hcumen have won for Fort
Worth the proud reputation OF being
"ths pluokiest town in Texas While
hls nelghbors know that the Gro will
be but an episode In the brilliant ca
reer Of the great merchant, and that
his business will go on, continue 10 be
enlarged aud EOon hnd domlolle in per.
hAps q more magnificent structure
even than that which now lies In
shspelesS ruin, they cannot forego the
natural regret for this loss to one who
has contributed 30 much to the up
building and the trade OF the city.
The wholesale grocery house OF J. H.
Brown is one OF which any place
might we'll feel proud, and the heart
OF Fort Worth goes out to him in this
temporary obstruction to his vast busi-
ness inter eete.

SENATOR JERDoNE is eHerting him.
self In favor OF practical legislation.
OF his last bill, tho Galveston News
Austin special correspondent says:
1.-THE effect aud Intent OF the bill in
troduced by Senator Jerdone, to-day,
In 10 abolish the old common law doc.
trino that no action lies in favor OF an
employee, for personal injuries sus-
tanned by him, agalnst his employer,
where the injuries were caused by the
negligence, caIelessness or such ike at
OF company, employe or fellow.ser-
want, aud to place employees Rs to per
sonal injuries received in the discharge
Of their duties ON the same footing as
other persona, limiting, however, their
recovery TO not TO exceed $1,000.
at Is shown that England, where
this doctrine had been the law from
time immemOrIal, aOme ave years
since abolished It by act Of parlia-
ment, and now employees may sue for
such injuries, being restricted only in
the amount OF the recovery. The state
OF Georgia has followed In the foot
steps Of England, and several other
states have modified the old doctrine
by statutes, and 1t Ia believed no good
reason can be assigned why this doc
tTine OF discrimination should be any
longer the law OF the lAnd,n

1T would appear that Mr.. Grover
Cleveland Intends to be- president, and
not puppet in the hands OF con-
gresslonal cabal. There are signs OF
new birth Of the Democratic party
visible to the naked eye Of men who
note how little "the leaders" know Of
the presidents intentions, and who
mark the tone Of communications ad.
dressed to him. 1t seems to THE GA
zErrs that some papers in Texas will
have to revise their statesmanship II

erence to the ability OF the telegraph
company at the time the service was
desired and backed by popular preju-
dice and ignorance instilled into the
people by an unjust law. The pro-
poeed measure might be good thing
for lawyers, but THE GAZETTE believes
the gals OF the attorney would be the
loss Of the people, for all injustice In
legislation Is certain to react on the
people.
THE GA1ETTB does not pretend to
metaphysical learning in the law, and
does not discuss the power Of the Tex
as legislature to treat Geographic
m esesge ~ it would carload Of dry
salt bacon, but opposes tho measure as
an act OF injustice to telegraph and tel
ephone companies and Es most unwise
for the public On this subject, we
extract the following from the Calves
ton News, as Offering oogent reasons In
brief why the measure should fail 10
become law:
Itis proposed In . bill which has passed 70
engrossment in the Texas house OF repre-
sentqtives, 70 sublsct telegraph and telo
phone companies 20 regulations and Habit
ties ~ common carriers. The courts have
pretty Clearly defined the legal responsibility
a such companies, and the possible or theo
retieal benefit OF The bill in question is not
oonspicuously apparent. On the other hand
many objections arc urged sGalnst such leg
isatlon, and their loading points may -bo-
summed up ~ fonoWE /, The great weight
OF authority IN the United States ia that such
companies, while IN some Eealeota anRlo-
goua - common carriers, are, from
the very nature OF their business
not strictly such and Ehould not be held TO
the same degree OF responsibility; they are
not held a. such in the other states: they

atmospheric change may change, delay or
prevent the message. e. The eject would
be 20 compel the com pRniea TO ipIuro
every message, They certainly could not A.
ford 10 do this without Increasing ~ GO In
