the Colonel "We all make mistakes. No one

overwhelming evidence against him.

A HORRIBLE demonstration was had in court
in Brussels on Saturday last. A murderer had
made confession of his crime, but it was alleged
by his accomplice that hewas physically unable
to cut up the body in the fearful fashion in
which it was found. To demonstrate that he
was able to do so body was placed before him
in one of the hospitals, and he was instructed to
proceed just as he said he had when he cut up the
remains of his victim He did so, but not without
some hesitancy. This is horrible enough to en-
gage the pen of Hugo or Claretie.

none so trifed with by the majority of suffer

port John D. Mccall, and upon these
grounds we believe he was nominated.
The campaign which has
just closed NAV well he
termed mud-slinging campaign.
Even in the history of Texas politics, it
deserves to be called such; it is not for us
to criticise the expressions of candidates
and their friends and enemies; in some
instances there have been extenuatinp
circumstances, and abusive expression
seems pardonable; but it is with feelings
of the deepest qualification that we see
Travis chosen son come forth with no
filth or mire upon his garments Nay,
more, he comes forth without having be-
smirched his enemies or opponents;he has
in no instance hurled back the accusation
in the accusers' teeth, but has quietly met
and put their charges aside, and continued
in his uninterrupted course to-the nom
nation. We heartily commend his course.
and congratulate him on the high moral
stand he has taken.
Half century ago Henry Clay, after
being defeated for president of the United
States, stood up before the American peo-
pie and declared he "had rather be right
than president" Mr.. Mccall, IN more
limited sphere, occupies still higher po-
sition; he can stand in the presence of his
people and say, Il had rather be rights
had rather be honest than comptroller,
but l am honest am right, and | am
comptroller, too"
The victory of our candidate is no ordi-
nary victory; it is probably the first in
stance for many years where man has
been nominated in this section upon his
merits alone. He has contended against
the most astute politicians and success
full manipulators in the state. They re-
garded his defeat as certain, and thirty-six
hours ago his friends we're fearful of
defeat; but supported by his ability and
popularity with the masses alone, he
came out conqueror, and more than con-
queror, and his opponents may now
wander upon the beach at Galveston and
listen to the "ceaseless anthem of the
changeless sea-" and contemplate the
rolling in of the sad sea waves.
In conclusion, allow me again, in the
name of the young democracy of Travis,
to congratulate Mr. Mccall upon his NOM
nation; to congratulate him upon the
high moral position he has taken in this
campaign, and also upon the high official
position with which he has come out of
it. We commend the principle on which
he has run, and on which he has been
nominated, the principle that
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act we your part, there all the honor lies -
We hope and believe that his admins
tration of the Office of comptroller will be
one of unexampled prosperity to the
country, and honor to himself; that he
may hold his office long and well; that his
reign may be without beginning of days
or end of years.
Mr.. Mccall replied briefly, returning
his thanks for the honor conferred, and
the crowd dispersed.

AN ATTEMPTED CAPTURE OF !
CHICAGO EDITOR.

NilS-AuO ELL Oh.
From the st. Paul Pion eerPress.
While on his recent visit to Detroit lake,
William Penn Nixon, accompanied by his
wife, visited White Earth Indian agency.
One morning he was chatting with Agent
Sheehan, who was dilating upon the rapid
progress made by the aborigines, when an
Indian girl dashed up to the door upon n
pretty pony, dismounted, and taking the
train of her riding habit on her arm, walk
ed into the agency, presented a certificate
from the surveyor in regard to fees paid
and said she wished patent for her land.
Here" said Agent Sheehan sis good
illustration of just what we were speaking
about"
The Indian girl, thosgh a full blood,
made an attractive PIC iure in her bright
riding habit, and the editor spoke up, say
ing:
"By the way, how can l secure some land
here?n
"Where do you live?" asked the red
girl.
"In Chicago" replied the philosopher
of the daily press.
sob, then you'll have to marry me in
order to obtain land here on the reserva-
tion," piquantly spoke up the maid.
But am already married; here is my
wife,"
"Yes, but she is old; am young; l hear
you can easily get divorce il. Chicago.
Come here, marry nae, and you can have

Her entreaties were so earnest and argu-
ments so strong that the editor was COM
PEELED to use his utmost strategy in order
to prevent completing tie treaty with the
Indian maid.
