THE PEOPLES FORUM.


BLOSSOM PRAIRIE, TEX, Aug, ~, 1886
Editor GAZETTE ~ w. Hayes OF thli
place, whom you have heretofore pub
lished as having been arrested for horse
theft, desires TO make the following state
ment concerning his recent ups aud
downs;
He was arrested on charges preferred
by one John Watson, who was actuated
by malice in consequence OF Watson's
having purchased horse against which
Hayes had claim. In a suit Hayes
claim was sustained. The said Watson
was promised immunity by Deputy
Polk Burris and thought thus to escape
peoalty for crimes for which he was then
under arrest. The witnesses against
Hayes were Watson and one Hall, who
are both now in Cooper jail under four
charges, two for horse-theft, one for cat
tle-theft and one for hog-theft. Hayes
claims that he can prove that he paid for
the stock for which he is held, showing
where he got the money and to whom 1t
WAS paid.
With reference to the two difficulties
he has had since he was arrested, Hayes
desires to say that he did not knock Hall
down because he was witness, but be-
iuusd Ht udu SMOIu u liC Ou uC
following Is his version OF the difficulty
between himself aud Deputy Burris: He
entered the courthouse hall and addressed
Burris and number Of other gentlemen
who were engaged in a conversation,
whereupon Burris approached him and re-
marked, "Hayes, you have been talking
about me on the Streets" denouncing
the statements made by Hayes as lies,
and demanding their retraction. Hayes
refused to retract, but reafIlrmed all he
had previously asserted. A few words of
like nature followed from each, when
Burris attempted to draw his pistol
which hung in the scabbard, and Just as
he succeeded in loosing it by-standers
rushed in and parted the two belligerents,
whereupon j. w. Owenly, county attor-
ney, and Joe Ryan, justice of the peace,
ran out OF their room and exclaimed to
Burris: "Set to him, we are with you'll"
and abused those who prevented the
shooting. Hayes had small pen-knife,
but was otherwise unarmed. Hayes
claims that he has not the least fears of
the final trial. | give the above as Hayes
version Of the whole matter. We think
it as due him TO publish this as you have
published the charges. Hayes and his
family control good deal of money, and
will, perhaps, spend good deal Of it in
the various prosecutions and defense now
pending. C.H.H.

Cooper and the Blalr BiIl.

ABILENE, TEX, Aug. "a, lSs6.-Editor
GAZETTE; Inotice that Prof Cooper, in
accepting the nomination of the Demo
cratic party for superintendent of public
instruction, denounces the Blair bill as
fostering 'mendicant education" Now,
Mr.. Editor, while Prof Cooper is no
doubt in many respects worthy of the
distinguished honor conferred on him by
MS party, such an expression sounds
more like the words OF an aristocrat than
the sober utterances of representative
OF the great Democratic party of Texas.
Ii Prof. Cooper objects to the Blair bill
on account OF its mendicAnt feature,
would Ike to ask how he give that
encouragement to public education which
is 10 be expected from the state superin-
tendent without feeling that he is encour-
aging "mendicant educalion?" The
principle is certainly the same. II the
STATE would be mendlcant in one case
the Individual would be in the other. We
certainly cannot expect him to have any
friendly feeling for our State Agricultural
and Mechanical college or give any en-
enlargement to that valuable institution,
for every dollar of the salaries paid to its
professors comes from the federal gov
ton" And following out the idea
suggested by Prof. Cooper in
the use OF those words we must
conclude that Geo. Peabody and
many other great philanthropists have
been misguided in their efforts to benefit
mankind, and instead of being benefactors
OF the human race, have fostered princi-
pie which, according to Prof. Cooper,
promotes national decay and moral de.
creptitude. And we must denounce the
charitable institutions of our country
whose object is to help and encourage
those who are struggling in their poverty
TO solve the great problem of education,
as promoters of educational mendicancy
and the great host of benehciarIes some
OF whom have hitherto been shining
lights In the literary and political world
as unworthy mendicants. In my humble
opinion ignorance is national evil. The
nation, as whole, suffers from it. and
the nation as a matter of self.preserya-
ton should use every means in its power
TO cure itself of this deadly malady.

The vile and the turbulent VIII come, TOO,
but let them feel the iron hand Of the
law and society need have no tears
about maintaining order under our liberal
system Of government. The verdict,
then, was a blessing in more ways than
one. 1t throttles dangerous spirit, and
it win check another movement which, II
allowed free rein, would have gone to an
extreme not at all credltable to this strong
and intelligent nation.

THE USES or TIE vERDJo7

Sentencing the seven anarchists in
Chicago to dea will accomplish good in
another direction besides the suppress,
sion OF the communistlc spirit which is
typled In the doomed men. The pre-
servation of legal and social order was
the prime consideration involved. So
ciety, in self-defense, called for repres-
siye measures. But the verdict does
more than answering this demand OF
society. 1t checks sentiment that was
growing up against further admission
save under very rigorous and perhaps
intolerant restrictions, of foreigners to
the privileges OF American citizenship
The hay-market riot In Chicago, the
Polish riots at Bayview and the vapor-
lngs OF Herr Most In New York were
resuscitating, not the KnownothIng
party, but the spirit and policy that
dominated that party. Americans read
OF the doings and utterances OF the
socialists, communists and anarchists
and ascribed the full spirit actuating all
three movements to the infusion Of for
eign population this country has received
In the last few years, In nearly every
instance 1t was noted that these agitators
were foreigners who had come here and
abused the privileges accorded them.
Thoughtful men, who, up to the present
year, would have roundly denounced the
Knownothing idea, were beginning to
reflect whether the necessities OF the
times would not compel revival OF those
ideas. The failure OF the Chicago Jury to
properly punish the anarchists would
have encouraged any movement contem.
plating hostility to further accesslons OF
foreigners here as citizens. Both of the
great political parties would have re.
sponded very promptly to this anti.
foreign spirit the momept it became al
all general, and In all probability the law
now existing against Chinese immigra.
ton would have been amended to include
other races than the Monaghan. II would
have been unfortunate had such splri,
assumed formidable proportions, for,
Inevitably, congress would have been
found ready to enact laws bearing
very harshly on every foreigner coming
to our shores. No discrimination
could or wonld have been made
While society wants and win bay,
protection. alike from the anarchist
or the commune, It can hardl,
afford TO say to the world that the United
States does not desire any more citizens
save those now living and who may be
born and reared here, Spies and Most
are Germans, yet take them as mass aud
we have no more useful, reliable citizens
in the United States than the Germans
who have come here. The same NAV be
said OF the Irish and OF the Jews, who come
from all countries. As rule they will
compare favorably with our citizens OF
American descent, They have helped to
build up and develop our land, and no
body should grudge them whatever OF
prosperity they have achieved. We have
room and work for more Of the same
kind, The verdict tells those Americans
who were growing apprehenslve OF the
foreign element In our population, that
there Is no danger from that source as
long as society onforces the laws we have
on our statute books. There is no need
10 change our policy OF welcoming the iu-
dusirlcas and oppressed Of other nations.

Ehe note Case.

Sam Longabaugh is still on the
trail Of his $500, lost in advancing
money to man on a note. Ihe
case was quite peculiar one, and
lawyers say that the verdict of the
jury was sound. The defendant,
Rask, sold note to Sam Tonga
baugh endorsed by Z. Passee-
Rask explained that the makers Of
the note, the Delusha Bros, in
Carson Valley, did not know how
to spell his name. The money was
advanced. 1t was shown in Court
that the note was made to another
man and placed with Rask for
safe keeping only. The Delusha
Bros. say they will pay the note
when the party to whom it was
made endorses it. Longabaugh
thinks that in the end he will get
his money.

Domestic zssIp.

We are BOT in favor Of compel
ing women in delicate health or un-
accustomed to work. to cook. scrub
floors and 40 kitchen drudgery. There
are men in this city who for months
have made every endeavor to en-
ploy white help in their kitchens
and as a last resort when their wives
were Frustrated with overwork have
hired a Chinaman. The health Of
a wife should be the first consider
alton of a husband.
There are in this city many earn
est advocates OF replacing Chinese
labor with white who have been
unable to secure white help at any
price. These men are now struc-
Cling between a sense OF duty and
affection to their wives and families.
and allegiance to the principles Of
the League.
1t is unfair to place anybody in
such a position:
The APPEAL would like to see the
League, at its next meeting, discuss
this question CONSIDERABLY and
fairly.
The universally Of the move
ment on this Coast has made an I'M
precedented scarcity of domestic
hel p and the fact stares US in the
face that white female help can
not be secured in this city at the
present time. Now the question
arises can 800 men continue to in
sist that 100 women shall work
themselves to the verge of sickness
with kitchen labor while wealthy
wood contractors are loading their
cars with Cinnamon just as they
have always done.
