Forbidden Argument.


During the earlier stages of the dis
custom OF the lease law THE GAZETTE
urged as an objection that the law
would in its operation multiply the
provocations TO fence-cutting. For
this THE GAZETTE was accused by the
smart men of the Texas press of de-
sire TO foment lswlessness, and, wish
ing to avoid all occasion for misrepre-
sentation as far as possible, this paper
refrained from usirg what it believed
to be an argument deserving the most
serious consideration of Lawmakers.
Gov. Ireland, however, will not be ac-
cused of wishing to encourage
fence-cutting when he points out
the danger Of permitting men
to fence up public territory in un-
limited quantities for specified num-
Der Of years. Among other reasons
assigned for the veto of the new land
bill the governor states his objection
to the unlimited lease In these words:
" 1t will not soon be forgotten what
the country experienced during the
last two years in turmoil, strife and in
the sacrifice Of life, In some instances,
caused by permitting vast areas of ter
ritory to fall under one management.
BY the provision of this bill whole
counties may be owned and controlled
for a term of years by one person or
by an aggregation of capital. Under
the former leases and policy vast re-
gions have fallen int the same hands,
and to-day the great body of the PEG.
pie VI this state are not only debarred
the right of free transit or passage
through neighboring states and terri
tories, but those holding tenures
under this state in the Northwest are
threatening the interior aud South
with violence should they attempt to
pass or drive stock through that coun.
try on their way to distant mark cts. y
The evil is but one of degree, and the
provisions OF the new land bill simply
carried 1t to excess in the unorganized
counties. ANY law that enables men
to fence in and tie up from settlement
vast areas of land will be resented and
resisted by the people. So we'll un.
derstood is this public opposition to
land monopoly that NJ man would
dare In Texas legislature Il
propose the sale of public land
in unlimited Quantities in any
part Of the state to one man or corpor.

six years is, for that length Of time,
practically equivalent to a sale. Gov

ton of Ian monopoly, and faithfully
points out the danger to peace and law
in the effort to accomplish under the
guise OF lease what no man would
dare to attempt through sale law.

THE El Paso Times says; The Fort
Worth GAZETTE encounters the
enmity, opposition and ridicule OF q
great many other papers in the state
by insisting that there are good agri-
cultural districts in that portion OF
Texas west of the one hundred and
first meridian, and that the imam
with the hoe' will go to that country
rs well as the hoy with the lariat., y
AS far as I'll Pase, Pecos and Presidlo

ia correct. These counties can raise all
the produce and breadstufls they need

U. c. BALL AND JONES.
The Latest Duo On the Programme
of the District Court.
Ball Answers Not Guilty, and Jones
Pleads the Higher Law.
Satisfied to Take the Consequences,
For He Is Not Guilty Accord
ing to God. ....

John P. Ball and Thomas G. Jones
were arraigned before Judge Zane at 10
o'clock this morning to make plea to sew
eral indictments found against them on
the charge OF unlawful cohabitation.
Mr.. Ball, the Third ward store-keeper,
was called forward, and listened atten-
lively to the indictment, charging him
with living in the unlawful marriage
lation with Emma Anderson and
Phoebe Anderson-Ball as his wives during
the period existing between December
list, 1882, and November LIST, 1885. Being
called on to make answer to the charge,
he pleaded not guilty, and was released
on continuing bond to await trial when
notified.
Thomas G. Jones stepped forward and
withstood the trying ordeal of three
cinching indictments. The first charged
the defendant with living unlawfully as
man and wife with Eliza lessen Jones
and Mary Orgill Jones, from December
LIST, 1882, to December 3lst, 1888. The
second charge set forth illegal cohabita-
ton with these two women from January
LIST, 1884, to December ,3lst, 1884, and
the third indictment read from January
LIST, 1885, to November LIST, 1885.
Court-What is your plea to the first
Indictment?
Jones-The same AS 1 made before
Commissioner Mckay, that | have two
living and undivorced wives. l have no
attorney, and no property or means to
pay for one. don't want any lawyer to
work for me for nothing, and guess
can stand the consequences.
Court-Are you guilty or not?
Jones-I have two wives, and am not
guilty according to the laws OF God; |
don't know as 1 understand the Govern
ment laws, as was never in court be-
fore.
Court-Mr Jones, are you guilty of the
charges as set forth in the indictment
just read.
Jones-Yes, am guilty OF living with
two wives, rs stated in the last indict-
ment, but not guilty of the other two
charges.
Jones was inclined to be impudent in
making his pleas Of not guilty to the in
dictments covering 1888 and 1884, and in
his plea OF guilty to that OF 1885.
Mr.. Van Horn desiring to be excused
by the Court from acting as defendants
attorney. Mr.. Ben Sheeks was appointed
to conduct Jones' case. Next Saturday
Mr.. Jones will receive sentence on his
plea OF guilty to one OF the charges, and
the other cases will come up shortly.
This afternoon Jones came into court
and stated, through Judge Hardness, that
he did not understand the indictments
fully, and after explanation he desired to
withdraw his plea of guilty and stand
trial for all three charges. Bonds were
fixed in the sum Of 81 900 for the first
charge, and 5000 each for the remaining
two.
