DALLAS, TEX, Dec. 7.-Thomas Il.
West Of Jackboro went over to Fort
Worth tonight. He told The GAzErTE
correspondent he would return to Dallas
Thursday. He appears hopeful that Dial.
las will raise $40, 900 subsidy and that the
Gulf & Pacific railroad will soon
be built to Jackshoro. But he
said most emphatically that unless
Dallas aud the Gulf & Pacific people ar
range their matters and the WORK is as
good as begun within the next ten days
the Jacksboro people will abandon all
negotiations in the direction OF Dallas,
and turn their subsidy over to the Fort
Worth Western company who appear
ready and anxious TO build.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Dec. Another Of the
numerous cases involving the question Of
a legal grand jury has just been decided
here. In 1884 A. + Galley was indicted
for the rape of Minnie Dana, little
ltrlian girl not quite ten years old. He
was convicted, and sentenced to a long
term in the penitentiary. The court of
appeals reversed and remanded the case,
and in December of last year another
grand jury reindicted Galley. The re-
CORDS of the court show that
the grand jury that found the first in
dictment was composed OF fourteen men,
an Illegal number; further, that between
the commission of the crime and the sec
ond indictment more than twelve months
had elapsed, which was also illegal
Counsel for defense urged these two
points, and on the technicaities the case
was thrown out OF court and Galley dis
charged, without any other defense.
Adamson, the man arrested here yes
terday for forgery of the names of parties
in Corsicana, says that he is a newspaper
man and that whisky is the cause OF his
downfall. He is ia great tribulation to-
day, being now thoroughly sobered up,

Judge Cooper and the Supreme Court
8 - Question. fN

- ..tHi. .''
To the Standard. 'A..h
In the Era of last week several
squibs are found, assailing Judge
Cooper as a book maker, and assum-
ing thereby he is unfit for other la
bors, and especially for the high Office
he now fills so ably, and for which he
is candidate for reelection.
The argument is unsound. 1t is
refuted by facts well known in Judge
Cooper's official history. Let theflip-
pant criticism so boldly expressed be
tested by the number of Judge Coop
er's opinions and their weight and
strength it will then be found to tip
the beam as a gravel standing on the
balance in opposition to a mountain.
The people are not to be carried by
such chaff as this. They havea grand
jurisprudence system of laws ade-
quate to the highest Civilizations
code if you please, so copious as to
meet every want of society, a remedy
for every injury to State or citizen.
To master this vast system requires
devotion to thought, devotion to
study, and zeal for work, untiringin
its application.
Judge Cooper fills this bill. His
record shows this decisions are in
structive to bar and country, dispens-
ing justice between man and man, by
a uniform scale. They stand consist
ant and in harmony with the great
principles upon which the system is
grounded.
The same rule. under his magic
touchgoverns all similar cases. There
is with him no oscillation of authori-
ties, or one law for one man and one
case, and a different rule for another
under precisely like circumstances.
The law of property, contract and
liberty, he holds as it were in the
palms of his hand. Somuch for facts
mere personal to the man.
You see book-making has notspoil
ed him'as a jurist. 1 will ask those
who urge such points, how much au
thorship impaired the ermine worn
by Kent and Story, Parsons, Dillon
Cooley, Blackstone, Coke and Bacon
In conclusion, 1 say the objection i:
peurile. 1t would be far preferable
in such critics to cloth their opposi
ton to Judge Cooper in a couplet like
this: sss t q

The reason why cannot tell"
