The prompt action Of Gov. Ire
land in ordering the arrest of sheriff
Oglesby, deputy sheriff Dias and
county Judge Hoffstetter, for com
plicity in the recent kidnapping OF
Francisco Arreusis, at Eagle Pass, is
highly commendable. Every circum-
stance surrounding the case tends to
show that Oglesby entered into a
conspiracy with MondaGon, the Mex
lean chief of police, to deliver Arreu-
sis across the Rio Grande, well know
ing that he was to be
murdered without any semblance OF
trial Hoffstetter's action in sign
ing the order for extradition without
knowing the charge against Arreusis,
or even requiring Og!esby to present
any sort of documentary evidence to
show that the prisoner was accused
of crime, makes him an accessory DO
fore the fact, and a co-conspiratol
with Oglesby and Mondragon. The
three are guilty of nothing less than
murder, aggravated by degree OF
deliberateness and steadfastness OF
purpose rarely met with. If Gov,
ernor Ireland will push the matter tc
the fullest extent, he will have the
satisfaction of knowing that his &C,
ton meets the approval of a vest ma,
iority of his constituents Victoria

While So much is being said of pol
itics, there is a subject which ought
to interest people much more, and
that is the cotton crop. We regret
very much to learn that the recent
bright prospect for a good crop is
rapidly on the wane for lack OF rain
One of our foremost farmers informed
us this week that where they conf
IDENTIFY counted on bale to the acre,
now they would be glad to have as
surance of q fourth of bale. We
hope rain may come in time, but at
present there is not The least indica-
ton of it.

Mondragop, the Mexican official by
whose order Francisco Rasueres, a
naturalized American, was captured
at Eagle Pass and taken to Mexico
and shot, is himself IN outlaw and
fugitive from justice from Texas, hav,

San Antonio, shortly after the war,
and escaped. Gov. Ireland might
very appropriately demand his extra,
dition.

1t is a pity that the trouble with
Mexico should have come up in the
shape it has; we mean, as the result
of personal quarrel between two
newspaper adventnrers in one case,
and murder to which Texas officers
became parties, in the other. There
is as yet no evidence that the Mexi-
can government intends any violation
of law or comfy as between it and
the United States. The Rasures
case is the worst of the two, and
there, unhappily, our local magis-
tracy are as guiltyas thoseof Mexico.

1t is amazing what fools people can
make of themselves, as Illustrated by
rumors of immediate war with Mex
leo. 1t is fortunate that level and
cool heads are at the helm. There
is no reason to doubt that the trou-
bic will be settled amicably by the
two governments. But if it comes
to war, how can intelligent people
forget that Congress only has the
war-making power? Congress not
being in session, would of course
have to be called together before any
decisive action could be taken.

WHEN GOLD HICKo RY'' WEPE.

When jackson discovered that his clerk
had been soldier in the war of 1912
he took pleasure in talking about the
events of that conflict. Mr.. Barker
says that the President would come in,
elevate his feet at the desk and insist that
all work should stop. Lets talk about
the war. Baker. Quit work for to day."
Then "Old Hickory would take new
clay pipc-he never used a pipe twice
and, preparing smoke, would begin q
narrative Of his adventures. One day,
while thus engaged, the wife of an official
was an nounced. She was tall, queenly
woman, of great beauty aud social distinc
ton. She came to plead for her son, who
had been an officer in the ravy, and who
had led mutiny in tue MEDITERRANEAN
and had been sentenced to death by hang
ing. The President only could pardon
him, aud this boon the mother asked Mr..
Barker describes the scene as so terrible
and affecting that he could never forget
it. Laying aside his pipe, Jackson stood
with his back to the crate and heard the
woman's pteous appeals and saw her
tears. You had a motheT," she sobbed,
for the sake of your own mothers mem
DRY pardon my boy" But the old warrior
never flnched. He said calmly: mo,
Mrs. , | cannot interfere Your
son must die" Then the mother flung
herself abjectly on the floor. She begged
and sobbed-all in vain. Finally the
President requested her friends TO take her
away. When the door closed the hero of
New Orleans sat down, buried his face in
his hands and cried like str cken child.
For half an hour he sobbed, never saying
word Mr. Barker was also crying.
Finally jackson raised his head and
snatched up his pipe as if TO smoke,
changed his mind and dashed it ON the
hearth. Then he said; 81 can stand no
more scenes like that, Barker. That wo-
man loves her SON She Will never for
give me. She win curse ne as cruel. And
yet | do not dare interfere. Ny God l
wish had never been elected PRESIDENT
Then he went to his room and renamed
alone all day
