REFUSED TO PLEAD GUILTY.
The Opportunity Lost by Haskell by His De-
mand for Trial.

One who has great deal to do with criminals
said immediately after the Haskell trial that the
prisoner missed his opportunity in not accepting
what was offered him. He went on to tell of
Miss Heundngs unwillipgness to appear in
court unless it was absolutely necessary. She
and the family would be willing to have him re-
ceive punishment less than the limit if he
would plead guilty. and save the women from
any more publicity in the case. Haskell looked
at the sentence of fifteen years with some inclina-
ton to accept but finally refused A twelve
years sentence was then offered. but this, too. he
declined under advice of his attorney. The re-
sultsof the trial shows that some men, under the
advice of attorneys fail to appreciate good
thing when ii is fairly thrown at them.
That reminds me- said another party to the
conversation. "how Kramer. who went to the
renitentiary recently for swindling threw away
chances He bad legal advice, and on that relied
to beat the prosecution, court. jury and the pub

dollars from an old acquaintance by giving him

served two years in the Cincinnati work house
and brought with him to this city the reputation

against him was so direct that it
was thought il he would consent to

undertook the negotiation with Kramer, as to
his pleading guilty. said, If you do this you
will get two years. The evidence is all against
you, and it IS impossible to break it down i

piled Kramer. know what | am about III

THE GRADUATES.

Again the annual season has rolled
around for the college commandments,
and soon the graduate wearing the hon
ors of his university-fresh from contact
with trigonometry, comic sections, differ
entail calculus, astronomy, Livy, Herodo-
tus and Xenophon-will be home again
receiving the congratulations of admiring
friends. With head stuffed and packed
with all the learning of Aristotle, the pro-
found philosophy of Plato, the unsur-
passed beauties of Homer and of Horace,
the young graduate, with conscious dig
nifty and an eye sparkling alike
with youthful hope and an ardent desire
to go forth into the great battle of life
steps from the college stage into the
arena of reality. What happy and a
beautiful time of life it it The young
alumnus and the sweet girl graduate, look
ing forward into the future, see naught
but success and happiness perhaps the
realization OF dreams of wealth, of fame,
of power. The picture, as it appears to
their young eyes, is undimmed by sin
gle shadow, unmarried by finger-mark
of misfortune or adversely, of blasted
hopes, moral or physical ruin.
We, who long years ago,
perhaps, like them crossed the revered
Threshold of our "alma mater" out into
the great world, may smile at the hopeful
purity, still untainted with trickery, at the
trustfulness of these young souls, but
none can have the heart to throw single
shade over their ideal of real life.
Again we can all smile at the college
airs, the vanity of inferior learning, which
the young graduates cannot help, for most
of us have been there ourselves, and it
may have taken a rough and tumble con-
tact with the world to get the idea out of
US.
But then we are glad we have the your
graduates, whether young ladies from the
seminary, or young gentlemen from the
college or university. The more we have
of them, the better for the interests of So
ciety and of the state, and, possibly, these
young neophytes have little idea of the in
fuence they are yet to exert on society, in
the church, and on government in this
great state.

A LIBERAL POLICY.

good deal of comment was made on
the position taken by this paper concern
ing the primaries which was to receive
into the democratic party of the county,
persons technically outside of the party,
who, on bona fide profession of faith,
honestly pledged themselves to support
the democratic nominees, and therefore
the principles and policies on which they
are to be nominated. Even outside the
city our position has been criticised by
some journals, including so influential
democratic paper as the Fort Worth
Gazette.
A moments reflection will convince
any democrat of Travis county, familiar
with the strength of the different
factions in this country that the position
of The STATESMAN presents more advan-
tages toward strengthening the demo-
cratic party of the county, than are to be
gained by an opposite course. The recent
history of party contests in the county, as
well as city, shows the fact, which should
be borne in mind, that should a straight
republican or strong opposition ticket
no matter what its constituent elements
put out, Travis county must come
within the list of doubtful counties. In
the last presidential election the strength
of the democratic and republican parties
in this county was as follows: Cleveland,
3,l19; Blaine, 2,532, which was not much
of an improvement on the Hancock Gar
field contest in $780, when the democrats
carried the county by less than 300 ma
jority.
In the present instance nomination by
the approaching county convention is not
equivalent to an election by any means.
Such being the case, the wisest course
for the county democracy is the adoption
of liberal policy, yet without abandoning
one iot or little of democratic principles.
A policy need not destroy principle.
Why should not the independent vote,
milk-and water dissenters, backsliders who
honestly confess their sins and promise
amendment, be attracted rather than re-
pelled' Is there no remission for politi-
cal sinsg
We might disarm the opposition by
liberal policy, consolidate with us the
lukewarm element, and put up the fences
in all directions before we can assure our
selves of success in the county campaign.
Before we get through with this canvass
we may be too much in need of party
strength in the county to be over particu
lar whence it is drawn.

A SURPRISE FOR JUDGE GOULD.

The board of trustees for the South
western university at Clarksville, Tenn,
have conferred the degree of LII D. upon
Judge Robert S. Gould, professor of law
in the University of Texas.
In thus honoring Judge Gould, the
board can feel satisfied that no worthier
recipient of this honor can be found.
Judge Gould stands high up on the list in
his profession in Texas, having been
called from it to take a position on the
bench of the supreme court, and as pro-
fessor, is second to none.
The comforting of degrees, if INDUCED
in too freely, gets to be rather doubtful
compliment, but as long as it is confined
to men of such standing and worth as
Judge Gould, no mistake can be made,
and those comforting the degree honor
themselves by thus adding to the number
as much as the recipient.

The eccentric Madame Astic de Valsayre,
who recently came off victorious in duel
fought on the classic field of Waterloo with
an American lady, animated with desire
for further notoriety, is anxious to enter
the lists again. This amiable lady has
come to the conclusion that the doctrines
of the SalIation Army ARE pernicious and
hurtful'' to France, and has sent threat
ening and angry letter on the subject to
Marechal Booth. Miss Booth is demand
ed to quit France directly and carry back
to her own country the ''schism which,
like another Luthe"-a comparison OF
which she may well be proud-she is try
ing to create. If this modest request is
not at once complied with Madame Val
sayre will consider herself injured in the
person of her country" and seek repara-
ton in duel. Miss Booth has responded
throug an interviewer that she has not the
slightest intention to obey the command
or accept the alternative.-Pal Mall Ga
