South" a New York Catholic paper of
large circulation republishes an article
from the pen of Very Rev. Vim. Corby, G..
S. c., which originally appeared in the
Scholastic" of Notre Dame, Indiana.
This article is devoted chiefly to Texas,
in general, aud to Austin, the capital, and
St. Edwards college in particular. 1t re-
fleets the favorable impressions of Texas
which tho reverend writer commented
upon in his speech at st. Edwards col
lege, while visiting that institution few
weeks ago. The picturesque, high and
dry location of Austin, and its advantages
as health resort, are favorably men
toned, and also its exceptional educa-
tiOnal facilities. St. Mary's academy is
spoken of in terms of high praise as the
most prosperous young ladies academy
in the south. Such an article, from
such source, appearing in
two prominent northern pa
pers, cannot fail to produce beneficial
effect in favor of the immigration boom
started for Texas and now gathering

lengthy article of an eulogistic character

Austin he will take in the University and
our excellent eleemosynary institutions,
which we have no doubt will impress him
as favorably as those he has already seen

HUNG HIMSELF,

Two Justices Run to Hold the
Inquest.

Yesterday the body of Levi Green was
found hanging to a limb of tree near
the south gate in the city cemetery.
1t trans ires that Levi had been sick
all the morning, and was seen to leave the
house about 10 O'Clock in the morning.
Nothing was heard or seen of him until
the finding of his body.
He was an old hack driver. and we'll
known. He owned little property near
the cemetery on which taxes were due,
and was also in debt with few parties
in the city, and, being respondent, he
hung himself as stated above. He was
married and had children, and was known
as an inoffeneive man.
Immediately after the finding of the
body, Justices Tegener and Calhoun were
notified. They Immediately hitched up
their horses and proceeded to the scene.
Judge Calhoun, reaching the place first,
held an inquest and returned a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. The re-
mains will be inferred to-day.

Governor Church has been interview
ed st Bismarck by staff contributor to
the st. Paul Globe relative to Judge
Tripp's decision in the insane hospital
quo warranto case. This is what Gov
ernos Church SAID on that occasion:
] am much pleased with the result. I
have been much abused over the matter,
and hope now everybody will be satis-
fed that my Judgment was correct. My
desire is only for justice and right.
There is no doubt in my mind as to the
crookedness OF the old board. / will
give you little p1ece OF inside history
about this which has never yet been
published:
Governor Church is then described as
drawing from his desk two copies OF
specifications for building the new winge
to the asylum at Ysnkton, both bearing
the name OF w. l.. Dow, arthitect, oil
Sioux Falls. The first, containing
eighteen pages, the governor said was

The second, containing four pages, his
excellency remarked. was seat by ths
board to the governor. Governor Ohurct
then cansed the staff contributor 20 saJ
IN the Globe that under one set o
specifications the board was to oonsrac
for the WORK and under the other sat i
was to draw from the territory" Thl

second very general specifications the
entire appropriation OF $4,000 could bs
exhausted. think it the most damag.
ing showing for honest men.
The presump ption is that the governor
was referring to the old BOARD Of trustees
not the Gale board, and the duplication
involved is that the old board were con-
spring to steal the difference between
100000 and $40 900. There is very little
in the way of protection for the people
OF Dakota aRainst such vindicfive as
saults. A governor seems hedgea abou,
by the protection OF the cSarts end Ia
nnassailsble in his position, He can lie
and slander, as Governor Church has
lied and slandered, and his victims must
take it as ii comes. Our courts have de.
eided that q governor of a territory can
not be punished for crimes committed
