abusing clerk Higgins, callinSl nm all
manner of names and accusing him of
ballot box stufling and then in the next
breath it extols President Cleveland,
who keeps this Higgins in office, for
his honesty and purity.
A writer in the New York Sun, of
last Friday severely critics Postmas-
ter-Gencral Villas in refusing to carry
out the provisions of the act of Con-
gross in relation to the transportation of
certain foreign mails. This act limits
the Postmaster-Ge to American
bottoms. But on plea of saving this
money, appropriated by Congress, he
ignores all provisions of the act, and
hires foreign transports to do this SER
vice. The writer, above referred to, YER
y justly says:
"Instead of doing the will of Con-
gress by carrying out this law, the Post
master-G General ignores all obligations
upon himself, and directly contravenes
the law and the policy of Congress by
engaging foreign instead of American
ships to do the service. He has asstlm-
to regulate commerce, power which
Congress cannot consign to his discre-
ton. Mr.. Villas is therefore at war
with the law making powers. To it, in
effect, he says: you have been bam-
boozlcd; you have been made the tool
of Lobbyist and subsidy grabbers; your
head has been turned by false appeals;
you do not know what you want, nor
mean what you say, and if you do
cannot understand you. You have not
provided sufficient means to carry out
the scheme you indicate. In short, there
is no end of reasons for not obeying
you. In your 'fearfully disolute state
you need a guardian, or at least the ben
eft of my discretion. Feeling this, you
appear to me to have invoked it, but if
you have not, / propose to use it for
YOU. I will, therefore, do nothing with
your appropriation, nor will l pay the
the slightest attention. to your authori-
cation as to how to spend it. ! will re-
fer the whole work back to you, hoping
that you may regain your wits and act
nationally. In the mean time | will
transport the mails on my own hook"
"Well, the fruit crop might be set
down as total failure said the super
intendent of the largest fruit-canning
factory in the State. "a total failure,
YOU might call it." ''That will almost
close your establishment them" said the
visitor. ooh! no, no." replied the SUI
perintendent "On the contrary, we
have to employ an additional force.
Years when there is no fruit we turn
our attention almost entirely to putting
up jellies; and then, a little later on, if
the potato crop turns out as we expect,
we will can about 100000 pounds of
pears" And as the visitor, silent with
great awe that falls npon common peo-
pie when they stand in the presence of
genius, went softly out of the Office, he
saw a carload of hoofs and horns I'M
loading at the doors of the jelly depart

THE MURDERER TILLERY
New Developments Nscessitate ;
Hearing on Habeas Corpus Writ.


LoNavIEw, TEX, March lon the
10Th ult. Tillery's attorneys proposed
to County Attorney league that If he
would consent to bail amounting to
$500 they would deliver him to the
officers. He was also told that If he
refused Tillery would leave nsver to
return. All efforts to capture him
having proved unavailable the
county attorney consented. Yes
terday Judge McCord took
the legality of the agreement under
advisement, but to-day Attorney
league discovered that Tlliery was In
jail three days prior to the agreement.
He made affidavit to the fact, present
ing it to the judge, who will inyesti-
! gaze the matter this week. 1t IL
not believed that the attorneys
were aware of Tillery's being jailed,
but it is thought that the matter shows
rottenness somewhere. This discovery
annuls the agreement and necessitates
q hearing on the habeas corpus writ.

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
There are many reasons In addition

lived In the periods Of Bible history,

of compleree, validated BY divine law
and sacred example, were usef by all
classes as common beverage, in fact,
AS articles Of food. They also entered
largely into the rites and dertmonits
OF religion under the Mosaic and
! Christian dippensations. Urder the
latter the true church ia compelled to

To the Editor of the Gazette.
In an Interview published In the
Dallas Herald, Regent Simpkins of
Corslcsna stated that the university
students did not cost the state Of Texas
anything, and yet cost the university
fund $3.50 for the tuition OF every stu.
dent. The common people have a
right 10 investigate the matter, and
they trust their interest in the
care of their representatives In the
legislature. They have right to
know whence that immense fund
called university fund, and by what
authority the appointed regents AFRO.

OF Texas. They know that the lands
and revenues from different sources be-
long to the state, and by constitu-
tionai provision q large amount WAS
set apart TOR educational purposes,
They know that the fathers OF Texas
intended TO provide for a grand public
school system. beginning with tine pri-
mary grade and ending with univer-
sity, all TO be under the direct super
vision OF the state.
They believe that the vast educa-
tional fund for all grades belongs TO
the people and should be controlled by
the people. They hold the governor
and his advisers accountable for the
management Of the whole matter, and
the legislature for the direction they
give the funds.
Mr.. Simpkins further states that
there are three sources OF opposition TO
the university: First, Bectarlan
schools. Second, teachers who were
not given positions In the faculty.
Third, Senator Pfeuffer and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college.
