WACO, May ls.-lSpecial. PARTIES in
terostod in the wool business are en-
deavoring to wake up movement

ket than 1t is now or ever has beon. 1t
is proposed that all the wool.growers in
the Waco district, which comprises sew.
eral counties, some Of them az fur wesl
as 200 miles, shall concentrate their clips
here, and give notice to buyers that on
certain week the stocks will be here
ready for sale. 10 Ia claimed that this
would bring any number OF buyers
with ready cash here, who, being Jhus
saved tho trouble OF travelling around
from town 10 town and ranch To ranch
in the district, and having all tho clips
here Tor inspection, could and would
pay better prices than under other cir
oumstances. Also, that other towns In
other districts would ship 10
Waco TO get the benefit OF this arrange
ment, ana that buyers and sellers alike
would save money. The Waco wool
already commands a better price than
slips OF other districts in the state, aud
II Is expected, even under the existing
system, that at least 100000 pounds Of
wool Will DO marketed here this season.
Receipts for tho % hours ending al
noon to-day were 10000 pounds; prices
ranging from l5@lS oonts per pound.

AN IRRESPONSIBLE JUDICIARY.

AS might have been expected, the
trial of BURTON and CUNNINGHAM re-
suited in verdicto of guilty, not because
there was conclusive evidence of guilt,
but because English courts are organ
lied to convict and English judges know
nothing but extreme severity.
II anything could reconcile critic to
our American system Of electing judges
every two or three years, It is the harsh
record OF trial in an English court.
Appointed by the crown, independent
of tho masses,and seeking only to curry
favor with those upon whose smiles
their tenure Is based, these British
judges are the personifcstion Of
tyranny and autocracy. Something
like 1t is seen in our federal courts,
whore, dressed in life lease authority,
our United States judges assume often
powers and prerogatives that would
make tho notorious JEFRRIEs open his
eyes. The state Judiciary generally and
fortunately is answorable to the people,
and high handed dealing with crimi-
nails and juries are not tolerated or AZ
tempted.
To an old American lawyer like MR..
PHELPS, the severity of the British
Judge In this famous case must have
been a revelation on the occasion of his
first visit 20 au English court. But he
was of course powerless 10 intsrpose an

The dream of Ireland has bee.n for
long years government for Rscal af- |
fairs, cor. troled by local sentiment. Be. |
fore the British parliament Is, bill now
pending for a local gov eminent for
ireland, and the hopes of hundreds of
thousands of Irishmen were pinned
thereto. 1t was the first light that had
broken on the benighted isle for many
day, and the suffering sons of Erin
had expected great things therefrom,
In his forecast of the future work of the
present parliament, the other day, MIR.
GLADSTONE announced that this bill
would have TO go over, together with
some other matters Of general concern,
and the regret will be general that this
matter of common Justice to Ireland has
been again postponed by the English
| government.
Ireland has fought long and waited
long Cor an honest recognition Of her
rights. In the vanguard Of British
armies the Irish soldier has done always
more than his duty, while the
bulk of the people at home
have for $50 years kissed
the hand that smote them. They de-
serve better than they have been given,
and not TO act with liberality and len
&ency toward the Emerald Isle is to
neglect one of the first dictates of wise
and just government.
But the present premier and parlia.
ment are not without some credit in the
premises. AS far ss GLADSTONE could
be liberal he has been, and during his
incumbency OF Office many reforms
> have been inaugurated, the beneficial
results OF which have been felt In Ire.
land. In the announcement referred
government bill would not he consid.
cred before adjournment, he stated also
the abandonment by the government OF
the clauses in the new coercion act
empowering the suppression Of meet
, ings, censorship OF the press, search
OF domiciles, night trial by judges
, without jury and retention OF the
power to change the venue and appoint
special juries in certain cases; also
night examination and investigation In
cases wherein no persons are charged.
This is something for Ireland and
lrishmen, and, on the principle that
small favors are thankfully received
will be probably hailed as same, the frs
substantial relief for long time. Per

merchants and stockmen in the west

to consult with the Dallas Il North

ence to their proposed route, and ne is
very positive that II the road crosses
the Fort Worth e. Denver, as it neces-
sasily muat, Dallas would find it most
essential to her interests to penetrate
Jack county and pass through Jacks
boro, as they can offer In that section
greater inducements both as grain
growing and stock raising region than
any other county along the route. He fur,
Their says that the people of the county
would give more toward tho construct.
ion of the road than any other. The
opinion of MR.. BROWN is valuable. lie

capacity. The presentation of his views

THE new Old Testatanent viii be
likely to share the same fate that at
tended the advent Of the Revised New.
1t will be used as a book OF reference
and, being the rerMlt of laborious- inves-
tigation by profound scholars, will I'M
doubtedly be of great assistance to stu
dents and ministers, But some way or
other the veneration of the old edition
is too strong among the people to per-
NIT of the substitution of any other in
its place. The only important change
in the Revised Old we have heard Of ~
the substitution of the word "Sheal'
(Hebrew) for the present "Hell." The
change of name, however, must not be
supposed to change the character of the
dreaded place and the HERALD would
get just as angry if an enemy were tc
tell it to go to Sheal as it would II or
dered by the same party to proceed tC
the same place with the old name. The
fact is there is mighty little known
about that locality by whatever name
entitled, and the only good that can b'
said Oft is that people never return AT
