asked if he had anything to say why
sentence of death should not be passed
upon him exclaimed;

commit the murder. I don't know

be hanged on such day as the governor

The Maxwell..Preller Case.

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-Long before
the time for opening the proceedings
OF the Criminal Court arrived yester-
day morning crowds of men and
women anxious to hear the opening OF
the defense in the Maxwell case and
the testimony of the defendant, had
congregated at the Four Courts. All
of the space around the door of the
criminal room was occupied; the cor
ridors and passage ways were packed
with curious wouldbe spectators and
there were many standing on the steps
and sidewalks who were unable TO
gain entrance even into the building.
Deputies appeared at 9 O'Clock aud
with difficulty forced their way

doors. A rush for seats and standing

unwilling to perform the operation
alone, but Preller did not wish the

N. Y. OIL, Paint and Drug Reporter.)
From all indications the American
Oil Company has covered consIdera-
BILE territory since the ad)ournment of
the annual convention of the, Cottons
seed Crusher'a Association In Memphis
on May 6. The rumors published In
last weeks issue of the Reporter con-
corning the purchase OF several mills,
have since been confirmed, and we
are authorized to state that the recent
purchases by the American Company
include the Union Oil Company, Of
New Orleans and Providence, Greeu-
vile, s. c.. Oil Mill, Columbus, Miss,
Oil Mill, and the Lee Oil Works Of
Natchez, Miss. The Memphis, Tenn.
Oil Works, is also said to have sold
out, but the report is not confirmed at
headquarters. We are informed from
the South that negotiations are now
pending with the Maginnis Oil and
Soap Works Of New Orleans, Baton
Rouge, Na.) Oil Works, Jackson,
(Tenn.) Oil NM, Of which Mr.. J. w.
Allison, the ex>president Of the Crush
er's Association is owner, and the
Hope Oil Mill Of Memphis, owned by
Mr.. J. c, johnson, the newly elected
president of the Association. This
shows a desire on the part of the
crushers to combine their interests
and elevate the industry to q better
basis. What effect the present devel.
opments will have on the industry In
the future, is yet a matter of specula-
tion, but the fact that the American
Oil Company now controls upwards of
fifty mills and that the work of con.
centration is still progressing, may
cause radical change in the manner
of conducting business. With i'm.
proved processes, cheapened labor enc
larged seed facilities, reduced expenses
in marketing all the various products
and manufacturing on large scale,
the company could afford to sellat low
prices and thus compete with substi-
tutes as we'll as to meet prices on the
territory of foreign manufacturers,
and insure larger consumption Of
American cotton seed products. TIE

remedy the existing difficulties which

cede him all the glory that justly at

LIGHT acknowledges that personally he
has no years of office holding to sanctify
him in the eyes of the people. He was
simply private soldier fighting for the
union. He never deemed his individual
opinion superior to the instructions Of
his party in convention assembled, and
being content to obey did not assume to
ubul huluOllb1s hb dh
zen, republican with an unimpeach-

years standing, he challenges any man
to call his republicanism into question,
or show flaw in its perfect consistency
and loyalty. He is now in charge of the
editorial columns ofthe LIGHT. AS such
editor he will not cease to make close
scrutiny into the proceedings OF those
who, assuming to act for the party, are
not without suspicion OF having axes to
grind. Denying that any conclusive
proof has yet been shown for J. c. DE
Gress' authority to call republican
state convention, under any circum-
stances, the LIGHT still calls for the pa
pers. No man knows better than the
EDITOR Of the Evening Paper that the
past political record of the man who
has made this call is the worst possible
guarantee Of its having been made In
good faith.

The Chicago News advises heroic rem =

names Of twenty-fOur members OF Its

that II the city would put these men in

pie would be the gamers. This would

THE Evening Dispatch is disconsolate
because Travis county will not nomi-
nate state republican ticket this fall.
The initial movement in the success Of
the republican party in Texas must be
the disruption Of the democracy. This
every child knows. Why then this howl
over republican ticket which we can
not elect, and nomination which only
serves to stay the progress Of that dis
Indignation OF the democracy, in which
alone our hope lies.
The Chicago News has been casting
its eyes over the fair field OF Texas poll
tics-a fair field for criticism-and its
vision lights upon John Hancock, Of
whom 1t says: "Mr. Hancock is an
able man and a democrat ofthe very best
variety, but he could not be elected SEN
ator from Texas II he were to furnish
the money for harbor out Of his own
pocket. He fought on the union side
during the late war, it will be remem-
bered." There is the sting Of unwel-
come, unpalatable, unadulterated truth
in this statement. To have been
union soldier is an iDseperable bar to
political hOnOrs or preferments in Texas.
What is true of Texas Is true OF other
sections IN the south. The men who
represent the south in the national con-
gress to-day are largely ex-cOnfederate
soldiers. A good confederate record Is
necessary in Texas to secure political
place; good union record is the strong
est uhI " pOhtiSai paw shoe o"h w
urged against a candidate. In other
words-the United States of America is
II nation with big N; Texas is one Of
the important states forming this nation
with Il big N. Texas sent thousands OF
troops into the field to destroy this ma
ton with big N. These troops were
unsuccessful and the nation with a big
n was not destroyed. The nation with
II big n was too magnanimous to pun
ish treason and traitors and Texas re-
turned to the union us an integrel part
of the big n. nstion-yet, the supreme
qualification for official position in
Texas is an unimpeachable record as
soldier in arms against the nation with
big N. Not only so-the sina qua non
for official appointment under the presi-
Dental hand is also good confederate
record. To say these things is to wave
the bloody shirt This we know-but we
also know that it is the breath of dis
loyalty alone that keeps this ensan-
vuined linen huttering.

THE DISPATCH CORRECTED.

The Austin Evening Dispatch comes
| 10 the front In defense of the call for a
state convention, as issued; asserts that
the call is In order; that Ii came from the
state executive committee; that % men,
bers Of the state com ittee favored the
assembling Of the convention; and that
the LIGHT does not cut any figure any
way. These statements OF the Austin
Dispatch cannot be verified. The editor
Of the Austin Dispatch knsws that no
one but the chairman Of the executive
committee can call the convention to-
gether; that the first duty OF the COM
mittee when the Craftsmanship becomes
vacant is to fill it by election of the COM
mittee; that this has not been done, and
that until it is done no call can regularly
be issued. The editor of the Dispatch
knows that the 23d senatorial district did
not present a name before the last con-
ventiOn for election to the state execu-
tive committee, and that consequently
there is no member for that district, and
that DeGress is not member for that dis
trict. The LIGHT has positive lnforma-
ton, from as reliable authority as is open
TO the Dispatch, that so far from %
members of the committee having fav-
Ored the call for a convention less than
half that number favored it. The rela-
ton of the LIGHT to the republican party
in Texas is not the question now. The
question now is upon the merits Of
the call. The call is not legally made,
and the LIGHT has not had one iota of
proof that its statements In last Mon
days issue are incorrect in any particu-
lar. The call has gone forth; and what a
call. No notification to the county
chsIrmen to send representatives; no
name signed to the call no au-
thority or direction whatever. The
convention will be held, but the Dis
patch need not lay the flattering JUNCTION
to its soul that this bastard call, the i'm
potency of which appears on its very
face, will only bring out the few who are
known to be In the political interests of
the men who expect to capture the con-
vention for a purpose. The republicans
Of the state, Istly suspicious Of this I'M
republican maneuver will be there by
their representatives to see that the party
is not saddled with u leadership that
would bring 1t into disrepute, and fatally
handicap IL for effective work In 1888.
