\ SAD AND VERY SUDDEN END
ING OF A BUSY AND VERY
USEFUL LIFE,

u
Mrs. l.. M. Crooker found her death
while in quest of temporary rest and sis
terly companionship, in the recent blow
at Indianola. How the entire community
was robbed of a needed worker time will
continue to tell. Can the Episcopal church
exist without its organist, its better-half?
Can the rector control its immense bust
ness without her ever-ready aid? Into
how many homes has her kind, deft will
lingness carried the music of a chant over
beloved dead? Into each Austin church,
other than her own, has she so often pro-
duced the triumphant wedding march, or
sobbed out the miserere! How many liv-
ing monuments of her skill are scattered
throughout Texas, and even further, that
her patience has taught and her energy
almost crelted rower within! For six
years, without jar to mar the harmony,
has the writer been her pupil, and her
gentle kindness and patient speech was
untlring and unbroken. We sigh for her.
we weep for her, but only in affectionate
memory will she be with US again. Adieu
forever, devoted Mrs. Crooker! Surely,
if life we'll filled with good deeds is com
plete, hers must be replete, though her
wears number so few. How will we miss
her kind, bright smile on the street! How
we'll miss her in all the walks of life!
But her busy hands are meekly folded and
she hath "a rest for the people of God
How mysterious the DEGREES of Provi-
dence!
"When the mists have rolled in splenGoe
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine warm and tender
Falls in kisses on the rills;
We may read Gods shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray,
We shall know why she was taken
When the mists have cleared away.

head unrepented, unapologized for by the
Mexican power. The dangerous claim OF
ra-territorial jurisdiction of trying and
imprisoning Americans for ofenses com
mitted on American soil-wlthin the jur-
isdiction of this government, stands unex-
plunged, unabandoned, and as threatening
the safety of all Americans in Mexico, as
on the day before Cuttings arrest and in
generation.
From hints thrown out at Washington
Yesterday, it mas become apparent that
the programme of this government Is to
ask a change in the obnoxious Mexican
law, possibly secure by treaty what many
have thought could only be obtained by
resort to the sword.
To man or an administration who
does not want to fight, it is always easy to
find some excuse for backing out OF
difficulty. 1t is in this light the United
States must appear to the world in the
Cutting matter, if it is allowed to
blow over without settling the
question of extra territorial jurisdiction,
by treaty and amicably, as in accordance
with the laws of peace and international
tranquility, if possible-if not, then by
force. For such claim against the rights
and privileges of our people cannot be al
lowed; and Mexico must be given to fully
understand this. We insist that Mexico
would be "good find" And unless the
United States claim is granted, we may |
be the lucky finder.
But in the present aspect of the matter
the United States has seemingly thrown
away the most splendid opportunity she
has had for the last twenty years, or
probably will have for the next quarter of
a century, for the conquest and absorp-
lion of Mexico and the glory and aggran-
element that would have attended such
var. Lost opportunities seldom return

AN OPPORTUNITY LOST.

Cutting is free but the principle upon
which he was arrested is utterly untouched
and as powerful as ever. The Mexicans
released him as the governor of Texas
pardons murderer, with the brand of an
infamous imprisonment still on his fore

DEAR SrR-Enclosed find circular letter

EVERYWHERE the same interest is felt,
everywhere the same disclaimer of salts
faction is heard. The Fort Worth Ga
zette says:
The Mexicans have found a way to re-
lease Cutting, as the Gazette predicted
they would. But what of the Mexican
right to punish American citizens for
offenses committed on American soil?
Cutting has gained his freedom, but what
has the United States gained?
They demanded release upon prin
ciple, they gain the release despite the
principle. They have lost the gist of
their demand.

INDEPENDENTS OR REPUBLICANS?

Why don't the quondam independents,
but now republican nominees, come out
boldly and say on which side their feet are
planted? The republican convention did
not endorse" them for their respective
offices; the motion to Endorse" was de-
clared out of order, and they stand to day
in the absence of declination on their
part,republican nominees full hedged. Let
them not be ashamed to show their true
colors. Let them boldly, and like men,
accept the nomination of the republican
convention if they wish to profit by the
votes of the republican party; for we do
not think the republican party will bear
the affront of their simply ignoring the
of that party, and proceeding
quietly to gain republican votes, and also
stealthily bidding for democratic votes
under the name of Independents. We
think the republicans will demand full
and final answer from these gentlemen.
Do you accept the nomination or not?

FROM SOME SOURCE,

FROM SOME SOURCE,
or many of our people will suff@, we make
and publish the following statement:
l. No rain has fallen in this county eX-
cepting local showers, within the last four
teen months.
3. Not a grain of wheat, oats, barley,
rye or millet has been gathered in the
county this year.
3. The grass is burned up, except in
low places, and where local showers have
fallen.
4. Nearly all persons engaged in farm
ing in this section are poor men who came
here to secure cheap lands, and have ex'
pended everything they had in buying
and improving their lands, who must leave
the county or expose their families to
great want and suffering.
5. The commissioners court has used
what available means were in the county
treasury, in giving aid to the people.
6. Under the laws of Texas no
VALID MORTGAGE
can be executed on homestead of 200
acres, which, in many instances, will pre-
vent farmers from securing loans with
which to purchase provisions or seed
grain.
To sum the matter up briefly, the con-
dition of the people here demands that
every means should be used to secure re-
lief. The railroads have very generously
offered to haul any contributions that
may be made free of charge. What we
need is something to eat, and wheat, rye
and oats to SOW, and we hereby appeal to
a generous public where
GOOD CROPS
now abound to aid US by such contribu-
tions as they may feel inclined to give,
and whenever it should be your misfor-
tune to meet with disaster, we will come to
your relief wherever you may be.
The total population of Taylor county
aggregates ten thousand, and it is esti
mated that 33 1-3 per cent of these will
need assistance before another crop can
be made.
Such regulations will be made for the
RECEPTION AND DISTRIBUTION
as will insure fair and honest appor-
tionment, and H. A. Porter, j. B. Webb,

WE very much regret to see that
General Seth's Eastern Shore rail-
road is meeting with opposition from
prominent Baltimoreans. The Sun
rather "damns it with faint praise"
the Mayor thinks it ga good thing"
but it is possible it may turn out the
reverse and be the means of giving
Baltimore the go-by in southern
travel; and now comes Mr.. Geo. NJ.
Gill, distinguished 'tax reformer."
who thinks Baltimore has already
more tax burdens than she can bear.
THE CAPITAL, has warned Gen.
Seth that be must look elsewhere for
the means of building his railroad
Baltimoreans are not given to taking
risks in new enterprises even when
it is demonstrated that "tbere is no
risk" They have been so long ac-
customed to look to strangers to
build up their city and state, that it
has become sort of chronic habit;
and like the old Annpolitan they
don't like to move out of the old rut.
We trust, however, the General
will not be discouraged. His rail-
road, with some changes in the route,
is go' d ,hing-good for Baltimore
and 20. I, rihpse who vii put m ney
ia il lie must be severe as did the
pref, c,ors tf ,ur Sbcrt Line, which
is now early completed His task
is not as difficult as was theirs, with
people at bJth ends and along the
line opposed TO them. His people
are all with him; and he comes in
contact only indirectly with other
corporations.
There is a right way and a wrong
way to do business. The General
must move up bis line to Kent Island
make new full aud complete esti-
mate of cost of construction and equip
ment-secure the right of way from
Salisbury to Kent Island and, thus
fortified bring his scheme before
gentlemen who have the courage to
invest money in any feasible project
that comes along. He is wasting his
lime and opportunities 10 Baltimore,
