THE sentiment against selling large
tracts of lands is becoming very strong
in Texas. There Is even an occasional
opinion expressed that sales already
made should be annulled, but, without
doubt, there can be no more baronial
tracts disposed of without a popular
outbreak of feeling al least. Posterity
will wonder 10 years hence how SO
singularly an anti-republicsn practice
ever prevailed. The HERALD will re.
frain from saying what the tourist
from New Zealand would say, however.

properly, dog eat dog. Both parties in
the tragedy were scoundrcIs OF the most danger
Gus description. Both were professional gam
bers who varied their ordinary rascalities by
any that offered chance of turning quick

for $500. Here the New York swindler pro-
ceeded To play the familiar .saw-dust" game.
He first counted over a roll of $4,000 of genu
Inc greenbacks which he represented as coun
terfeit. He then placed the money I'm a sa,tcheI

his brother hid with duplicate bag filled with

In operation he drew his revolver and shot his
fellow-swinder dead, on the ground that he was

But while this plea is absurd, and should not
protect Holland from the legal consequences of
his act, the fatal shot removed a rogue whose

against Rowell, declared, as he stood over the
corpse yesterday, that Davis was the incest
man in the world; and the brother OF the dead
man, who was hid in the adjoining room To
exchange the satehels through the panel, broke
into tears of grief as lie told the story of the
homicide in court. But the amiable traits
which aroused this affection only bring out
more strongly the essential wickedness of his
