Editor GAZETTE: AS through the col

able an exponent of public opinion in all
matters that pertain directly to the well
fare OF all the citizens of our CITY. I
would ask your opinion if the time has
not arrived In the history of the rapid
srowtn of our city that our
Guy fathers should be called upon to leeis-
lste lumber yards from beng established
or continued to be located in the very
heart OF our city? 1t occurs to me that
TINS danger would not be permitted If I'M"
thougot and consideration were givco IN
the subject by those whose duty il /. IN
see mat all our interests are protected,

VI wa'er-works and gallant aud brave

agencies fail. After viewing the scene of

agricultural" limits sll the nouns that
follow Il, and that no property or pro-
duct, unless Il is agricultural, is protected
against malicious destruction.
This may be law, but It is not common
sense. is 1t probable that the legIsla-
ture, in prescribing penalties for lawIess
destruction Of property, after having
enumerated several offenses oy name and
description, would then say that only
such other offenses as affect agricultural
property or products should be punished 7
To uphold such construction Of the
statute is to say that the legislature In
tended to expose all property, not agri-
cultural or specifically enumerated, to
destruction by ANYBODY who felt mean
enough TO destroy It. Such thing is an
absurditY. one kind OF property is as
much entitled 20 protection as another,
and the legislature had DO thought OF
making an exception In any case. The
plain intent OF the law was to provide q
penalty for all who destroyed property
"ot any description whatever" The
mlsplacing or omission OF a punctuation
point is very common accident 10 print
ing offices, and il laws are to be set aside
for want of comma IN the right place,
we had better abolish the use Of commas.

TIE HALUE or A GONNA

The exposition of the law by the court
of appeals in the case Of the engine
killers may be correct, as the law stands,
but 1t seems to q layman that there is an
unnecessary refinement OF exaetnoss in
the interpre tatlon of the law. Article
6SS, which appears, and evidently was in
tended, TO cover the cases of people who
malIciously injured property, for whose
punishment no provision was made else
where, reads as follows;
ARTICLE 6SD II any person shall wilfuliy and
maliciously, lnjuro or destroy any growing
fruit, corn, grain or othtr agricultural product
or property, real or personal, OF any desorlp.
uon whatever, in such manner ms that tho in.
Jury does not come within the description OF
any OF the offences against property otherwise
provided Tor by this code, he shall be pun.
ishod by hne not exceeding $1,000"
Evidently the Intent Of the article was
TO atlix a penalty to the malicious lnjur-
Ing OF all property, OF any nature what
soeyer, not otherwise covered by special
provision. But the court of appeals
holds that there is no remedy against
men who malioiously destroy railroad
property, because the letter of the law
refers only TO such as "mischieyously in-
iure or destroy any growing fruit, corn,
grain, or Other dgrieuitrai product or
property real or personal, OF any desorip-
ton whatever The court says that this
relates only TO the destruction Of agrl-
cultural property real or personal. If,
however, there had been comma after
the word "produet," so that the reading
would have been "It any person shall
wilfully and maliciously inJure or destroy
any growing fruit, corn, grain, or other
agricultural product, or property, real or
personal, etc, then the law would have
covered the case OF the engine. killers,
and they would have been punished. 1t

ment made by Mr.. Brown, It is attempt
ing to use those exploded charges to i'm
peach the personal character OF Col.Swain.
II is not the purpose Of THE GAZETTE to
resurreot an issue so lifeless as the Brown
attack. when that appeared an in
tellgent public saw at a glance an at
tempt on the part of a personal enemy,
backed perhaps by political enemies, to
defeat the nomination for governor OF a
man conceded by al to be far in the lead OF
his competitors, But in the name of the
public it is time for respectable journal
ism % call halt to the methods which
are being employed in the pres
ent campaign, and to Insist
that IL shall be confined within
legitimate bounds. In other words, IL is
time to relegate the penny-a-liners to the
rear, and to begin the discussion OF po-
litical issues. The deliberate effort to
blacken the character Of Mr.. Swain
necessitated attention from his friends,
because so much attention was given to
1t by the champions Of his political oppo-
nents. Silence would haye been con-
strued by them as an admission
that no defense was possible. Col.
Swain has passed through the
crucible untainted, The integrity of
Gen Ross has never been called in ques-
ton, and should this be done at any time
during the canvass such tactics Will be as
severely condemned by the friends of Mr..
Swain as if they were directed at the
latter
Issues of vital Importance to two and
one-half millions of people are involved
in the gubernatorial campaign. The
public interest demands that the candi-
date who aspires to the highest position
within the gift Of the people of the state
shall define his position clearly and une-
quivocally on these questions. Any at.
tempt to evade these great issues by
shifting the canvass from political to per-
sonal matters must meet the hearty con-
demnation of the people. The friends of
other candidates may continue to pull
their drag-net through the private
life Of Mr.. Swain If they choose. OF
course it is their privilege to select me tn
DDS to their liking, but their ill.success
at the task in the past gives poor promise
Of success in the future, and after they
have exhausted their efforts to convince
the people OF this state that Swain is not
an honest man, their reward will
be scanty list of believers. In
the meantime the discussion of
live issues will 90 on and with all his
supporters of on still hunt after Mr..
Swain, the Waco candidate is likely to lag
behind the procession.
The comptroller is reported to have de-
clared that this was no individual CON
lest between himself and Gen. Ross, but
a contest between policies; that on those
policies each must stand or fall, and the
Galveston convention will ratify his posi-.
ton.
