Saturday night the house Of Mrs M. A.
Reilly was robbed, on Sunday night st.
Anthony's church was visited by thieves,
and last night the arrival home Of DIR. John
J. Stewart prevented a burglary at the house
of his father, James Stewart, ZIG East Orange
street. near Lime. The burglar entered the
rear part Of the house, walked to the front
door opened, DR.. Stewart walked In, and the
burglar was so near him that the edge OF the
door struck him. The burglar ran to the
rear OF the house before DIR. Stewart could
through the rear door, which he had left open.
Officer Cramer happened TO be in the neigh
borhood; he was called in, thorough
search Of the house was made, but nothing
unusual was discovered.
Later in the night shortly before o'clock,
suspicious looking character was seen lott
ering under tree at the residence OF J. M.
Barry, opposite the Stewart mansion. When
he found that he was observed, he moved
rapidly off in the direction Of Lime street

Gov. Irelandls Test.

During the canvass Gov. Ireland
stated in his speeches that the land
board raised the lease price from four
to eight cents In order TO prevent the
cattle syndicates and corporations
from gobbling all the school lands /;
that, II the board hadn't been thus
watchful of the actual settlers inter
est. there wouldn't have been land
left fit for goose to Craze on.
A bill will soon go to the governor
that reduces the lease price again, and
that actually forces the syndicstes to
gobble up all the lands worth having.
IL Gov. Ireland approves the bill he
will puts his signature to an official
denial of his sincerity during the can
vass.
Will Gov. ireland sign the proof Of
his insincerity?

No actual settler, who opens up

The correspondent of the Herald
wanted TO know what was meant by
"free grass" AS used in the discussion
OF the public-land policy of Texas, and
the answer Of the Herald is printed to
show how the advocates of lease law

The Plano Review says of the charges
against Postmaster Dewey of that
place: "There seems to be an unac-
countable and persistent determina'
ton on the part of special correspon-
dents to enlarge and color the simple
and altogether unfounded case against
Postmaster O. @. Dewey. Mr.. Dewey
was not arrested, the writ of arrest
sworn out was never served. An Of

No bond was asked or required. The
In vestigation OF the case when called
showed malicousness so clearly and
was so utterly and entirely devoid OF a
single truthful allegation that the de-
PENDANT was compelled to insist upon

fore the tribunal would consent to fur

Referring to the war in Egypt, The
GAZETTE wishes to recall the argu-
ments OF the land board at first we
were told that the lease price was in
creased from four to eight cents in or
der to make the cattlemen pay rs much
rs possible for the "childreD's grass"
TO "squeeze the living grease out Of
Them" 30 to speak. Later on, during
the canvass, we were told that the
price was increased In order to pre-
vent the cattIemen from gobbling all
the lands that If the price had not
been raised the syndicates and corpor
ations would not leave Gland enough
for a goose to Craze on" Well, the
newly concocted, syndicate-inspired
land bill reduces the price to FIVE
cents, and this, with some amend
ments added by the senate, will turn
the school lands over to cattle corpor
ations.
IL the land board was right in III
first explanation, the reduction t.
five cents ought not to have beer
made.
II the land board was right in it,
second explanation, the reduction
ought not to have been made.

suits in converting the large pasture
into thriving farms, and driving out
cattle and bringing in men, In suos'i-
tuting baby raising for calfraising'
The assertion Of the Herald that the
farmer pastures his stock within en-
closures and does not Craze them on
the commons Is disprovtd in every
neighborhood in Dallas county, and by
the facts in every county In Texas. In
newly settled sections it is especial
ly true that the farmer Is benefited
by free p asturage, for the crop yield
at first is uncertain, and men who
know anything at all of the truth will
smile at the absolute ignorance or
utter falsity OF the Herald's statement.
Advocates Of the lease declare that
the cattlemen drive back the farmer
under the free-grass policy. The CEN
sus reports utterly refute such asser-
lions; and within the four years from
1879 to 1883, under the free-grass poll
cy, the agricultural line" was moved
more than two hundred miles west
ward. Let the people of Young,
Baylor, Jones and other counties an
swer for the truth of what we assert.
But this argument that the cattle
men drive back the settler imputes
selfishness TO the cattle raiser. Let
us investigste the sincerity and force
of 1t; it IL claimed that the lease law
will not retard settlement; that the
settler will 60 inside barbed-wire
pasture to buy the lone section which
the law allows him to purchase and
yet the cattlemen would drive him o fl
of p range as free by the law to the set.
tier as to the ca'tleman If the cattle
man Is lawless enough to attempt tC
hold what he has no right or GEM
blance of right to, will he not attempt
to hold what he pays lease and taxes
for and what he has expended tens o
thousands Of dollars to enclose with
fence? Or does the quasi legal posses
sion conferred by lease-hold trans
form the hyena into lamb ? Strsng,
logic Great conception of til,
springs of human action
Again If the lease men are hon
est in their utterances, If they onl,
wish to force the English and Northern
capitalists to pay for the chool-chil
dren's grass, why do they em6ody
provision about herding on the publ
domain that will include the farme
and the small stockman as well ss tn
syndicate and the company? Why d
they frame law that will drive SINAI
herds into the greedy hands of larg
owners? Why DO they turn over tn
unorganized counties In lease to "syr
dictates and corporations outside {

The Herald has stated the meanin
of free grass as it Is used in the discu!
sion of a state land policy falsely

every man must judge for himself.
Free grass" means the policy this
prevailed in Texas up to 1888, tn;
prevails in the disposition of nation'
public lands now, that settled all tn
