IT TURNS out just as we supposed it
would, that the grievance manufactured
by the Luso in the pretended interest of
the Portuguese Company of the Homo
lulu Rifles, had no foundation whatever.
The place they occupied at the left, or
rsar of the line, was the one regularly be-
longing to them in accordance with the
American system of tactics which had
been adopted as the authority. Anyone
acquainted with even the rudiments of
that system knows perfectly well that
the rear or left of the line, so far from
being a position of inferiority or indig-
nifty, is second only in honor and prece-
dence, the head or right of the line being
the first. A company takes precedence,
not according to its letter, or the date of
its organization, but according to the
seniority in commission of its command
ing officer. In this way the respective
positions of the various companies are not
permanent. Next week Company @
may, through the operation of this rule,
be at the head of the line. The same
rule applies to large battallOnS as to
small ones, the post of honor being first
the extreme right; second-the ex-
treme left; third-the center, with the
colors, and so on. The article in the
Luso could have hardly been intended
to influence the members of Company
G, who probably all understand the
matter perfectly we'll. II it was not the
offspring of pure ignorance, it could have
had no purpose, except by intentional
misrepresentation to stir up bad blood
among the rest of the Portuguese COM
munity, making them believe that their
countrymen in the Rifles had been I'M
fairly and discourteouslyi treated. A
journalist could hardly be engaged in
more disreputable business. The charge
that the ADVERTISER is hostile to the
Portuguese rests on no foundation what
ever. Every reader of our journal
knows it to be absolutely untrue

NOVEMBER 80, 1888.

A VERY pleasant and commendable
feature of our Island life is the hearty
interest which foreigners of different
nationalities retain in the annual festi-
walls and commemorative days of their
native lands, coupled with an apprecia-
tive and cordial recognition of the
national anniversaries OF others. The
American, the Briton, the Portuguese,
German and French, eveu the almond
eyed Monaghan, each and all celebrate
the same days they would at home, en-
ioying themselves in their own way, to
the top of their bent, not only without
exciting the faintest trace of national
antipathy or jealousy, but even with the
active cooperation and assistance of all
the others. The American Thanksgiv-
ing is no exception to the rule. Origin
ating in the midst of rugged hardships
and anstere piety, established by men
who feared God and cringed to no mortal
creature, coming down gradually through
pleasanter days and more prosperous
times, spreading from New England to
the other Northern States, and finally
becoming national through the more
perfect welding of the Union by the fire
and hammer of civil war, it has his
tory religious, patriotic, domestic, which
appeals powerfully to all that is finest
and sweetest and truest in human
nature. Long may the descendants OF
New England and of the old England,
with the representatives of all races and
tribes and peoples gathered together in
these Islands, meet together as they did
yesterday, in friendly accord, to &C
knowledge the mercies of God, and
gather round the festive board piled high
with the bounty he has so literally pro-
Vided.

Frank Lincoln, the humorist, has
signed contract TO accompany the
Spalding aggregation to Australia. Years
ago Rev. Eleazer Patten, Methodist
missionary and great uncle of Lincoln,
went to III Hi, in New Zealand, to
spread the gospel among the savages.
He was served up at great banquet
with mushrooms and tomato sauce, and
now Lincoln, who Is his only surviving
relative, intends to kill two birds with
one stone on the Spalding trip by accom-
panying the ball players to New Zealand
for the purpose of giving couple OF his
monologues and bringing suit against
the government there to recover dam
ages and at the same time to show the
natives that they cannot with impunity
treat clerical relative of his like a
cheese sandwich. II Chicago Herald

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
CRoCKETT, TEX. Dec. 2l.-John An
drew johnson was executed to-day at II
O 'clock a. m. He was reticent to the
last. A large crowd witnessed the hang
ing, estimated at 5000 persons, mostly
colored. All approve the justice OF the
vindication of the law.
HISTORY or THE CRIME.
On the 18th day OF June, 1883, Miss
Allie Simms was violently assaulted
and a rape committed upon her about SIX
miles from Crockett, near her father 5
residence. She was about seventeen
years of age and Of good family. Soon
after, John Andrew Johnson, a colored
youth of about nineteen years of age,
was arrested, charged with the ofFcnse.
He was brought to Crockett and placed
in jail by the sheriff. The citl-
Zens were greatly incensed and
excitement ran high and 1t was well
known that many intended to take the
law in their own hands and take the
fiend from jail and dispatch him upon the
most convenient limb. The sheriff hay
ing learned of such intentions, took the
prisoner. and, by stratagem, reached the
Jail of Harris county. There he remained
until the fall term of our district court
when he was brought back, and upon the
return of an indictment he was placed
upon his trial He was defended by
able counsel appointed by the court, and
after full and far investigation, jury
of some of the best citizens returned q
verdict of guilty, in forty-fye minutes,
and assessed the penalty OF death.
Upon the trial the injured party testified
as to the preparation of the Otiense, and
fully identified the defendant Is the
party. One other witness, q colored boy,
said that he was i'll sight of the parties
at the time, and saw the as
sault made, and Immediately afterwards
the defendant came TO him and gave him
the particulars Of the whole affair. The
defense was not guilty and that the de-
PENDANT was not seventeen yeas OF age,
both OF which pleas totally ia.ied. After
sentence his case was appealed to the
court of appeals and there argued by
counsel, and the Judgment affirmed. Up
