Yesterday, in the interest CT other creditors the
third mortgage was left for record. This is also
on merchandise and the delivery wagons and
teams of the company. This last instrument is
to give the following an equal footing with those
given above:

The total amount thus covered will approx
mate very nearly $4,000.
The provisions of these instruments are such
that A l.. Wright & Co. are allowed to continue
the business until Feb. !, the proceeds of all sales
after actual running expenses have been deducted
to be deposited in the Indianapolis National
Bank to the credit of a trustee whom the mort
gagees have named. The trustee Is N. S.
Byram. When the deposits have accumulated
to an extent to make such distribution feast
ble they are to be applied in paying pro rata the
accounts Of the mortgage creditors.
The officers OF the company do not wish to
make any statement at present. One of them
said yesterday: I'VE feel we are doing the right
thing IT we did not no such steps would have
been taken. We have the bestlegal advice that can
be had, and the creditors are all represented with
the exception OF very few at home, to whom
we owe small amounts The latter can be easily
paid. We do not know what will be the outcome
OF the plan but for the present we are willing to
lot the record speak for us without any comment
or further explanation"
The embarrassment of A. L. Wright e. Co.
has been of few years standing. partner IN
the firm as first organized was the Indiana
Banking Company. The failure of that
institution materially affected the inter
est of the firm. Mr.. Wright bought

short time the carpet firm was reorgan-

amount So 600 is for goods and s.. 900 for money

What interest, anyhow, have the farm
ers or the laborers In the election of local
officers more than other people bave2
They do not pay more taxes and have
more at stake than alt other classes. The
evils OF which they complain, as partial
and oppressive laws, cannot be lessened
by olecting every county official in the
state. Those officials, II they do their
duties, can only enforce the laws enacted
for their government Whatever is wrong
cannot be remedled by subordinate office
holders. II the laws are imperfect they
need to be amended, and to secure such
changes as they desire the farmers must
send men to the legislature who will
enact such changes. Legislatures,
state and national, need TO be attended
to- 1t is an idle waste OF strength to put
up ticket Of candidates for every county
office, and shows hat the object Of those
who have committed the Farmers alll-
ance and the knights Of Labor TO political
strife is not merely to correct the wrongs
of whiclrthey complain, but to get into
Office or TO put their friends there.
If our public Offices have for years
been filed by men who did not represent
the laboring classes it was because the
laboring classes did not do their duty in
voting for the best men. Every election
has been free to everybody, and every
voter was at liberty to vote for the best
man. The laboring classes, If by such
term is meant the men who work for a
living, have always cast large majority
of the votes, To say that the men elected
by them were not fair representatives Of
the masses, is to say tina. the masses
didn't have sense enough to know how to
vote. Now the men who make that
charge propose to restrict the free right
of voting Tor whomever one may choose,
to the necessity of voting for candidates
whom they have selected. This is in
deed stride in the direction of political
freedom.

WINDG AND CrCLoNEH.

The winds that have proved SO de-
structiye to life aud property In Missouri,
Indiana and Illinois are not the dreaded
cyclones, but appear, from the accounts
published, to he either violent gales or
hurricanes. The destruction of Sank
Rapids, Minnesota, few weeks ago, was
by cyclone, but the disasters at Kansas
City and other points in Missouri and
Indiana were produced by wind-storms
Of extraordinary force and severity.
A cyclone is distinguished from all
other movements Of the mir by the rotary
motion OF the wind. 1t moves across the
country invariably from southwest to
northeast, and in the Northern hemis-
phere the wind rotates from right to left,
The pathway Of the destroyer is not
often more than 1fty yards in width,
though it sometimes expands to
a hundred yards. The onward mo
tlon OF the funnel-cloud that is
the center of agitation Is not
more than thirty miles an hour, but the
rotary velocity of the current is as great
as two hundred miles an hour. II is this
tremendous speed that makes cyclone
so destructive to everything in it's way,
that has given 1t strength to lift thirty
ton locomotives from the track and hurl
them through the air, to twist iron rails
from the. ties to which they were spiked,
to overwhelm In ruins the most substan-
tial buildings Of stone, and to inspire, in
the regions that are subject TO such wish.
tations, the most ptliul terror.
A mere wlndstorm is nothing. Strong
houses are safe against the most violent
wind, as long as it blows in steady d.
rection. The buildings blown down in
Kansas City by the storm were weak
structures, one Of which had been
condemned as unsafe, all OF which
were unable to stand any unusual strain.
The storm passed over the heart OF the
city, yet, only three or four houses were
destroyed, Had cyclone traversed the
same way 1t would have cut clean swath
Its entire width, and left har dly house
behind.
Meteorological science can foretell a
storm or hurricane, but 1t cannot give
warning Of the approach of a cyclone.
The monster begins bis career Of wrath,
pounces down upon sleeping towns,
snatches up houses aud people in his
whirling grasp, and filings them torn,
broken and lifeless to the ground, with.
out anote of warning to prepare for the
danger, 1t Is this that causes such terror
of cyclones. The space they cover is so
narrow that people could escape by flight
II they knew of its coming, But they
know nothing OF the danger until 1t is on
them, and escape is impossible.
Texas is comparatively free from such
disasters. Not once in dozen years do
we have flrst-class cyclone. Now and
then an Infant Of that family visits us,
but compared to the line large ones that
the Western states from the Indian Ter
rtory to the great lakes are familiar with
ours are harmless. Let us be satisfied
with our lot, and be not envious OF wha,
our neighbors have.

AN INTRUDER on LEASED PAS.
TURES,

A special In yesterdays GAZETTE con-
veyed more to the careful reader than
was told by the types, 1t recounted the
killing of Cyrus Partridge by Charles Nc
Fadden and o. ID. Baker, and The cilcum-
Stances under which the act was done.
Partridge was living on farm inside n
large pasture owned or leased by the
Beaumont Pasture company, in which
McFadden is principal stakeholder and
OF which Baker is an employe. 1t is al
legged, in Justification of the killing, that
Partridge was caught in the act of butch
erug q COW belonging to the company in
which the others are concerned, But
Patridgo's neishoors give him good
name, and there is general sympathy for
him.
II searching Investigation could re-
veal the bottom facts, the circumstances
OF PAtlidgc living inside a big pasture
would probably be shown to have close
connection with his death.
The lease law OF this state allows actual
settlers to take up land inside leased
pasture. But the men who hold the big
pastures under lease do not look with
favor on the entrance of settlers on their
holdings, One settler will not do much
harm, but his presence is standing inyi-
tation to others TO join him, and dozen
OF them would soon take up the land and
render the pasture worthless. So that
one, the pioneer, must be discouraged
and kept away. II it is necessary to kill
him, kill him; the example will be strong
enough to keep other trespassers out. 1t
is very simple thing to shoot him down,
and say that be was caught butchering
cattle or doing something else that, in the
mind OF average Texas jury material, is
good cause for death.
The upholders of the lease law
VIII not have much TO say about this
ahiir. ltdiscredits everything that they
can say In support of the law. They hold
that 1t is no barrier TO settlement. for the
0i""se ahoWlng settlers to go into a
pasture, cut out a homestead and settle
on 1t, still holds open to him all the right
he possessed before the lease law was
passed, They will not see, or seeing Will
not admit, that this is a barren right
which cannot be availed of. The settler
may have the legal right to 20 on leased
pastures, but the company does not in
we MIN 10 assert his rights. He can be
made very uncomfortable by the cattle
man who holds the surrounding land by
lease. He can be shot, and after death
accused of cattle-steallng. The risk Is
too great for most men, and the bip
pastures will not often be disturbed bv
the intruding settler.
