A1abama's Great Sheriff.


When his men fired their volley the in
nocent suffered with the guilty. Throck-
morton, who was endeavoring to dis
perse the crowd, fell dead. But he was
a victim to the oowardice or weakness of
other sheriffs, who have made the front
of such mobs the safest of places.
The sheriff did his duty. He upheld
the law. The first mob recruited under
such circumstances has been not only re-
pulsed, but punished, 1t is pity that
innocent and guilty fell together, but let
it be notice served on all men that none
should be in or in the vicinity of such a
mob, except those who are there with a
guilty intent, and they should be left to
their fate.
The general administration of the law
is weakened by every successful mob.
The sheriff of Birmingham has stood for
the law, not only in his own county in
Alabama, but in every state in the
Union.
All those who comprehend that they
have no rights except such as the law
gives, and that these rights are weakened
whenever the law is defied, owe to that
sheriff debt of gratitude.
The fall of few men who were inno-
cent of evil intent is deplorable, but will
be remembered only as a sorry incident
in an event the issue of which is most
honorable to the law and its officers.

GRACE troubles'' in Mississippi; race
troubles in Tennessee; race troubles in
South Carolina; and all since the tri-
umph of Republicanism. 1t will be a
blessed day forsthe negro when he learns
that he is nosf'a ward of the nations"
that under no political sway will he have
"forty acres and mule'' given to him
out of confiscated property of
white men, and that the sooner
he begins to look to his
own individuality rather than to any
party, the sooner will come his progress
to higher paine. Republicanism freed
the negro but subjected him to a parti-
san dependence thathas retarded his prog
ress. Republication no longer holds out
fantastic prospects to the negro and in
this has done much for him. When the
negro thoroughly learns to depend upon
himself only he will advance at q speed
surprising to himself.
The negro is free, and when he learns
how to be free he will realize all the
benefits of freedom, and he will never
learn how to be free as long as he expects
some special benefit TO himself from the
success of any political party.

GOOD ROADS.

Every farmer and every merchant in
Tarrant county has vital interest in the
construction of roadways that viii serve
their purpose in all sorts of weather
That rains should prove an embargo upon
trade and travel in a county like Tarrant
is sad reflection upon its business sense
In bad weather the farmer cannot per-
form work in the field: but if the roads
were passable ne could attend to those
matters away from home, to which he
must give attention when roads permit,
and at season when he could do needed
work at home. Good roadways are to
the farm what railroads and rivers are

TIE SENATE. RILL

Some of our esteemed contemporaries are
shocked because our senators, who lately
''whooped it up'' for tariff reform, are now so
apathetic that they are inclined to permit the Re-
publican tariff bill go through to final passage in
the senate without protest. Our esteemed con-
temporaries should remember that the election is
over, which explains the whenceness of the why.
The tariff is big question: but it always looms
up in its grandest proportions in presidential
year Waco Day.
Ism t the above just little unjust to the
senators of Texas? Suppose they do not
protest against the passage of the senate
tariff bill? Of what avail would be pro-
test in the face of the majority in the sem
ate? Then this senate bill must go to the
lower house, where there is q Democratic
majority before it is ready for Grover
Cleveland IS consideration.
And again: II the senate bill is better
than the present tariff why oppose it at all,
when next March will see Republicans in
possession of every branch of the gov
eminent? If this senate bill is not better
than the present tariff is 1t or is it not
better than what Republicans will give
us after March next?
But, in any view of it, what is the JUS
tiflcation for attributiGg insincerity to
the Texas senators? Coke and Reagan
are III favor of tariff reform, and they
do believe that reform is needed. Their
speeches in and out of the senate, in and
out of presidential years, demonstrate
their sincerity.
And besides, fduring a presidential
year, in which the tariff is the issue,
there is special occasion and cause for
that question to Gloom up. - There is a
time for all things, and during every
election some one question ''loOms up'
more grandly because that question is to
be decided by such election. But at all
times and under all circumstances the
voices of Coke and Reagan are heard in
behalf of the many against the few, and
if they are heard loudest in presidential
years. it is because that in such years
there must be determination of the ques-
ton for four years.

THE CONEITTEE DISCHARGED.

IIE COH-El LEE DiSCHHRGED.
The committee appointed to investigate
the purchase of the waterwaters has been
discharged. 1t had nothing to do, it
never had anything to do, it would never
have had anything to do, and the ap-
pointment of the committee was farci-
cal performance, conceived in prejudice
chase of the waterworks belongs
to the past, and if there was
anything crooked in the transaction it
should have been investigated before
jury. What Fors Worth is interested in
is the management of the waterworks.
The substitute of Alderman Fry covers
the popular demand, viz:
That the city secretary be requested to furnish
the council at the next meeting, as soon as
possible a full and complete statement of the
city waterworks, also statement of the losses
and gains of operating the works since they have
been in operation, also showing the value of the
works to date.
And the city secretary would furnish
much useful information for future
guidance if he would classify his
statement and show the results of the
waterworks management under each of
the three different administrations to
which they have been subjected by the
vacillations of our city government since
the works were purchased. This CLASH
fication would make ''mighty interesting
reading for taxpayers who vote at
city elections.
The works are profitable and efficient
now, and if it can be demonstrated that
this result has been attained despite past
mismanagement by the city, lesson will
be Taught that cannot but prove useful to
the people in the future.
