Gone to Help Her Father.

Miss Clara II. Rieschke has gone to
Galveston for the purpose of defending
her father, Martin Ludwig Rischke, and
of identifying the men who kidnapped
her father. The warrant has been tele-
graphed to the sheriff OF Galveston
county, but as yet no arrests have been
made.
There lie no question but that the man
Rischke was kidnapped. 1t was the
duty OF the marshal there to have sen {
his warrant to the marshal OF western
Texas and on faith of that warrant the
local marshal would have had an affi-
davit made against Rischke, he would
have been arrested here and given an
examination trial II desirable, but this
course was not pursued, he was kidnap-
ped in order to save time and trouble.
Hence the arrest was illegel.

STICKING TO THE COLOR LINE.

STICKING TO THE COLOR LINE.
The beauties of the Louisiana cleo.
ton have been variously commented
upon in the northern journals. Waiter
sons admission that the south does not
pretend to give q free ballot and fair
count where the negro is In the ascend
emit, has received ample examplifica-
ton and illustration from the returns,
the democratic majority in some Of the
parishes being three times greater than
the entire vote OF those parishes for
Cleveland. The Waco Day joins the
Louisville Courier-Journal In accepting
this disfranchisement of the colored
voter as matter of course. 1t says:
ION q square tariff vote, eliminating
the negroes, Louisiana would probably
be . protection state, and with the
negro vote 1t would be overwhelmingly
80. But the tariff question out no figure
in the last state election there-it was a
contest race for supremacy, or at least
was 80 viewed by the white people,
who were threatened with negro
domination by the success of Governor
Yarmouth. 1t makes no difference what
proportion Of the democratic vote was
fraudulent, and whether the honest ma
jority was one-half one-quarter, one
eighth, a bare margin, or even nothing,
the white people OF the state
were determined to maintain their
not amount to q row of pins"
This is republican government demo-
cratically administered. Government
of the people, by the people, for the
people. This is what reconstruction
has done for the democracy. Given
them representation in congress to the
extent of the suppressed negro vote Of
the south, whereas before the war
1t was only . three-fifth representation
that they were conceded.
CONCERNING the management of some
of our state institutions and the treat
ment to which their inmates are sub
jeoted the Galveston Evening Tribune
says:
''Odious stories are leaking out about
cruelties inflicted upon patients in the
Austin asylum some years ago. The
of having the employees who praotioed
them discharged. To the man who is
capable of maltreating helplese lu-
natic, 1t is compliment to call him
brute"
1t is not the discharge Of the employees
but Of the principals that is called for In
such q case. The superintendent and
physicians in charge should know what
is passing under their eyes and within
the walls Of which they have charge.
If these responsible officials do not
know, then they are not competent to
discharge the very onerous and respoD-
sible duties devolving upon them and
should be retired. 1t ia their business
to know. If they do know, and yet
permit the practice Of inhumanities
within the institutions placed by the
state under their supervision, then GER
tainly they are not tit for a work which
requires great kindness, patience and
humsn-fesling, and should be at once
dismissed.

tinctively the exponent Of national
