To the Editor Of the Gazette
why Ia II not true that II Ireland were all
Protestant they would be well enough Aatlsned
with the Union AS II Is nOw?--f GAZETTE, yes
terday.
1t is not true, Mr.. Editor, because IL is
disproyed by history. In the middle Of
the last century Ireland was, politically
speaking, all Protestant. A Catholic had
no mere TO do or say with the laws OF
Ireland during the reign of George III.
than the slave had with the laws OF South
Carolina before 1860. He could neither
vote nor hold title TO real estate. The
Drea Scott decision was anticipated, for
at that period in Ireland the papist had
no rights which the Protestant was bound
to respect.
Ireland was all Protestant when in 1882
the Protestant volunteers demanded and
obtained home rule, which plainly shows
that oneness in religion did not make
them contented with the Union. The
American colonies were one In religion
with England, and yet, though George
Washington and George III. worshiped
at the same altar, they had very different
ideas OF government. No, sir; If Ireland
aud England were one in religion to.mor-
row, it might remove some of the hostIl.
ity, but would not reconcile Ireland to
being governed from Westminster.

WHY THE CALLED JADE 1YINCES.
When Ben Butler isn't running for Of
flee and getting defeated he is shivering
at the specter OF the solid South. Prob
ably the general could run for office, get
beaten and SILVER at the specter all at
once, but his versatility has not been
strained to that extent. 1t would he
very disagreeable, especially as long as
he is running on the Democratic ticket.
Being now, for little while, out OF pol
ltlcs (until new party springs up to
give him a chance, Ben is more than
usually stirred up about the South, and
says that 1t will produce discord again.
1t disturbs him TO think that "while the
South pays but one-iifth of the taxes she
dominates the presidency, the lower
house, and will soon secure the senate
all by system based on suppressed
negro vote"
The Suppressed negro vote" is what
makes life bitter to Benjamin. The
thought that several hundred thousand
negroes have the right of suffrage in the
South, adding so much to the con-
gressional representation of this part OF
the country, Is inexpressibly CALLING. But
the South is not responsible for that, II
was forced upon her, and Thad Stevens
had no more active lieutenant in doing
that work than Ben Butler, They gave Il
an ignorant race, just emaucipated from
slavery, the ballot, expecting t
perpetuate their majority in con
gress by this means. But tn
negro, when he began to learn an,
understand where his true interest lay
refused to be made a tool of by Republi
can carpet-baggers, Some of them acte
with the Democrats, and some others re
fused TO vote. The whites, In self-deiense
were driven to close alliance IN tn
Democratic party, and by voting solidl
and dividing the votes OF the negroes the
gained control Of the South and they hay

minority and turn the South over TO negr

tranchising the negroes and adding the
numbers TO the ratio of representatio

allowed TO vote. 1t is the memory of h
agency in giving the South this augmentt

The Sort OF Man Needed.

SHERMAN, Ten, June 12.-Editor
GAZETTE: The position taken by
THE GAZETTE I'm advance of any
other leading paper of Texas, that only a
practical educator should be chosen to I'LL
the dignihed and important office of SUI
perintendent of public instruction, struck
responsive chord in the hearts of the
people. While it does not necessarily
follow that any man, SO he is teacher,
would make a capable superintendent, 1t
Is true that the Office should be
filled from the ranks of that
noble body of men who follow the high
calling of instructing the youth of our
land. This statement has already been
so conclusively argued that further elab-
Grafton is now unnecessary. 1t only re-
mains TO select the best and most availa-
! BILE man. 1t Is true that this is no easy
task. But will THE GAZETTE allow the
mention of one, who in the opinion Of
many is pre-emlnently fitted for
the placer Prof. James M. Carlisle
of Whitesboro. For seven years he has
conducted a most successful Institution
of learning The good that has been ac-
complished by the Whitesboro Normal
college could never be definitely esti-
mated. For this, all honor to Prof.
| Carlisle and his colleagues. But Carlisle
is not merely man of books. He is pre-
eminently a practical man a
man of the soundest judgment and best
balanced intellect. His friends do not
claim for him any great degree of brill
fancy, but he has plenty of mental bal
last. Business, not buncombe, is what
is needed, and Carlisle is bushes IS man.
He is moreover earnestly devoted to the
cause in which he has labored so long
and faithfully. Finally, he is an excep-
ton TO the popular proverb that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country. At home, where best known,
he is most honored and esteemed. Gray.
son county is solid for him, and will
give him her united support at the
state convention. Grayson, as the most
populous county in the state, as a county
that has ever rallied to the support of the
Democratic party, deserves something o.
that party. In the nomination of james
M. Carlisle TO the Office of superin
tendent, worthy man would re
ceive merited honor, and Texas woult
gain jealous and faithful Official whose
good name the breath of scandal would bt

zErTE Referring to an editorial in your
paper under date of 10th inst, in regard
to the Orangemen and Catholics in Ire
land, beg to say few words ON the
subject The author OF the article re-
ferred to is evidently not posted on Irish
history, for during the time of the Graf
tan parliament In Dublin in 1901 they
were all Protestants, and were always at
variance with the English, and no better
satisfied than they are at present.

wENTwoRTH's MURDER.
Foss Tells His Side of the Story to a
Reporter.

CENTRE OssIPEE, N. H., Jan. 14-Wen-
dali Fsss, of Eaton, who killed Harville
Wentworth at Brownfeld, Me-, Jan. 4th, and
who was taken to the Carroll county Jail at
Ossipee to await the requisition papers from
Gov. Currier of New Hampshire, to carry
him into Maine, gave his first confession to-
day to an Associated Press reporter, in the
presence of Jailor Manson. He expressed a
willingness to have the public know the par
ticulars, and while apparently brooding over
the crime he had committed, yet he had not
the slightest idea he would be hanged He
considered it a hard situation for man of
Is years Of age. He said his wife left his
home and he started on Monday, jan a, after
her and his furniture with team. He went
to Samuel Wentworth's and found his son in
the yard; saw no one else until Haryell
Wentworth came out with his coat off and
asked him what he wanted and ordered him
from the premises, then clinched him by the
collar and pulled him out of his sleigh and
to defend himself he took out his knife and
tried to prick Wentworth's legs. Foss got
up and Wentworth started for club, as did
also Samuel Wentworth, both coming towards
him. He tried to get in his sleigh, but did
not. His wife then came out and said she
would get ready and go home with him.
Then the Wentworths both laid down their
clubs. Foss started towards home, and Har-
veil passed by him, but came back. Sam
Wentworth then helped them load the furni-
ture. Foss then went to Andrews's house
and delivered up the keys, when a man told
him that Eva Wentworth had gone by and
returned with physician, and asked him
if he had done anything. The prisoner told
him no. He then went to Eaton and found
his wife at home. Neither he nor his wife
knew what had been done until he was,ar-'
rested Wednesday.
Itappears the murderwas committed when
Foss took out his knife and cut cash three
inches long in the lower part of the bowels,
which caused death the following day. Foss
was at one time man of considerable prop
erty, but lost it, and when his wife left him
he claims the Wentworths were the cause of

President Hyde on Electives.

At the Bowdoin alumni dinner in Boston
Wednesday President Hyde said: "As your
president has said, came to the college al
most unknown to any of the alumni. The
more l see of the college the more l am
pleased with it, The students have found
an honest, serious set of men, who have
come there with a serious purpose. The
work of the college is going on steadily, and,
we believe, thoroughly. We have some
things to be very thankful for. Among
them is the gymnasium, which is rising
slowly but surely. The building is now COM
pleted as far as the external appearance is
concerned, and, we hope, will be ready for
occupancy by the first of next year. Again,
the library is coming into prominence, as it
ought to in such an institution. Students
are using it in all their course and L am told,
to degree to which they never have used it
before. You will ask what the policy Of the
college is at present. | have no sharp, clear
cut answer to give. No radical change is en-
tertained on the part of any one of us. Four
years of cram is not an education. More
than that we must bring out, develop a love
for study in the student. That, as / under
stand it, is the meaning of the elective sys-
TEN as we have introduced it into our col
lege. 1t is the supplement Of the old system.
When a student graduates he should have in
his mind certain definite lines of work on
which he has already started. That is the
purpose of the portion of our course which
is devoted to elective study"
President Hyde then referred to the finan-
cial condition of the college, saying that they
we're not running in debt but were paying
their way. He thought the pressing needs
Of the college were in the line of larger
scholarship funds, money for a fellowship
and the establishment of chair of history
and political economy. As to the religious
policy of the college he believed it should
hold firmly to the Congregational faith, with
no attempt at mixing different beliefs.
