STAINING A THIEF,

The Philadelphia Times tells how a
woman's righteous anger put a thief to
night:
cone night lately at the Home of the
Merciful Saviour for Crippled Children,
between the hours OF one and two
o'clock, Sister Sarah was aroused by
hearing a chair fall over below stairs.
Hastily putting on her wrapper, lamp in
hand, she descended to the parlor. Her
first glance revealed an open window at
the back part of the room. A small
part of this parlor is cultained off. The
curtain was parted. and Sister Sarah
thought it moved. Approaching it. she
found herself face to face with a white
man. tall and stout. Fixing her eyes
upon him she said: The Chinese have a
saving that 10 some men hearts have
been given. and to some gizzards. You
must be one who has q gizzard instead
of 4 heart And with a look of scorn
,he continued: "You have come 10 a
house as q thief where there are only
crippled children and a few women to
take care of them The man drew his

that have been laid In their graves at Aus
tin by the hand OF the midnight assassin,
since last Christmas, with the supposed ex-
istence OF secret negro association, whose
handspring is superstition or the blind
and bloody fanatlcism born Of Ignorance.
II Is believed no similar instance OF such
series Of mysterious and startling
crimes Is on record anywhere in the
United states. The murder OF Or. Sto-
vail, though apparently having no CON
nection with the assassinations in the
capital city, was Of character no less
bcinous and startling. These crimes are
disgrace 20 the capital Of the state and
TO Texas, committed as they have been
under the very nose Of the state govern
ment Austin, for It's own reputation and
that Of the state, should clear her robes
OF the stain Of blood.

ANOTHER nan on THE TREAS
TTHH

This is very inopportunc time for the
Houston Post TO say that livery few OF
the officials Of this state are paid sufficient
salaries" AN empty treasury does not
encourage increased expenses. And there
Is no compulsion 10 force any man to nc
ccpt an office the salary of which he con
sders an unequal compensation for the
employment Of his able services. The
best talent In the state is eager to put up
with the salary as long as u state Office
goes with IL. We know OF no case in
which an Office hug had to beg for takers
among The most respectable ability Of the
state. We have not always had the best
talent in office, but that was not due TO an
indisposiliOu among competent men TO
enter the public service; IL was rather
due 10 the fierce scramble OF rmpudcnt,
brassy men OF mediocre talent, who
clbowcd more deserving aud modest men
out OF the way In the nominating conycn-
lions. Larger salaries will not correct
this evil, nor secure Il better class Of pub
lie scryltors.
Texas pays her governor $1,000 a year,
and, taking this Office as point for com
parlson, we do not find that the gentle
man who Is forced to keep the wolf from
hle door with that annual sum is IN a
much more pitinblc condition than the gov
crnore Of other states, wcalthicr than
Texas, whose treasures are In better
financial condition. Ohio, one of the
richest states in the Onion, pays no more
than Texas, and we have Just seen the
spectacle OF two gentlemen striving with
tremendous ardor for the place. Con-
nccticut pays but $1,000, Georgia $4,000,
Iowa $4,000, while New Hampshire aad
Michigan lnd they can get very good gu
bcrnat0ral material for $1,000 a year.
Until We find case of a state official
declining to serve on the ground that he
can make more money in private bust
ness than the state pays him, we shall
hold TO the belief that our Official rulers
are u very well satisfied cass, and that
there IS not much danger of general
strike for better pay,
