GIBS0N'S W1NDBRAKE.

Senator Gibson of Louisiana has
offered resolution into the United
States senate for the appointment of
o select committee of thirteen sena-
tors "to inquire into the state of the
suffrage throughout the United
States especially to Investigate the
elections held in November last in
Rhode Island and Louisiana, and
the presidential election in the states
of New York and Indiana, and to re-
port all facts showing whether any
improper, undue and unlawful nj
fuence and practices were employed
through conspiracies, trades, combi-
nations, intimidation, corrupt use of
money, purchase of votes or voters,
false registering, false voting, stuff
ing ballot boxes, bribery, or in any
way whatever and to what extent,
and to make such recommendations
as it may deem to be necessary"
The resolution of Mr.. Gibson was
introduced in the nature of an
amendment to old Bill Chambers
resolution introduced into the SEN
ate some time ago authorizing an in
vestigation by committee of the SEN
ate into the state election held in
Louisiana last April. Mr.. Gibson's
object, as is plainly to be seen, was
to offset Chandler and to head off his
resolution, which is still pending.
While he does not recognize the
right of federal interference in state
elections, yet partisan republican

majority being in control of the SEN
ate, is not apt to allow constitutions
al objections and limitations to stand
in the way. But, while the senate
would have no scruples about inter-
fering in local affairs it could not af-
ford to carry its partisanship and its
disregard of the law of the land to
the extent of discriminating outrag-
eously against one section and in
favor of another, where the wrongs
complained of and which are made
the subject of investigation are much
more palpable and intolerable. No
fair-minded and impartial person
will claim that an honest election
was ever held in Rhode Island since
the republican party came into exis-
tence; the bull-dozing methods of
the wealthy manufacturers of the
North and East against their en-
ployes and the threats aud intimi la
ton resorted to are well-known,
while the open, notorious and
shameful use of money for the pur-
pose of bribery at the polls in New
York, Brooklyn and Indiana are
national disgrace. There is much
more justification for Investigating
election frauds committed by repub-
licans in the northern and eastern
states, if federal interference were
not unconstitutional, than there is
for investigating frauds in this sec
ton, and it is safe to say that sooner
than have the dirty work and the
low election tricks of the republican
party exposed to public gaze, old
Bill Chandler will prefer to allow
his resolution to slumber.

THE LAW RESPONSIBLE.

The Galveston News of Thursday
in its local columns chronicles one of
the most unprovoked and brutal
murders of recent occurrence, in
which a minion of the law and his
deadly revolver did the work, and
for the commission of which the
law permitting the habitual carry
ing Of deadly weapons by the minis
terial officers and guardians of the
peace furnished the opportunity. A
young man, Robert Crawford, against
whom Ed Giebel, night policeman
on the local force, had a private
grudge, was sitting on Christmas
day in a drunken stupor on a dry

cred thatwheat would rust and that
flour brought from the north by rail
was SO cheap that it was best to buy
it and devote all the time to raising
cotton and converting Il into money.
But the big over-crop of cotton runs
the prices down while it creates a
demand for extra help to gather the
crop and increases the price paid for
picking: So that, when the crop is
gathered and sold and the cost of
raising and gathering it is deducted
the farmer has only a few dollars left
to pay for his ''store-bought" bacon
and other supplies. There is not a
farmer in,the south who has not been
told at least thousand times that
he ought to raise more "hog and
hominy" and less cotton, but so far
the advice has had no effect upon
him. The farmers have been a long
time learning it, but with the in
creased population, the increased
cost of living among consumers who
are not producers will soon force
them to realizing sense of the fact
that they must pay more attention
to raising the necessaries of life.
And the sooner they do learn and
accept and act upon this truth the
better it will be for them.

THE TEXAS FARMER.

The writer remembers that once
while taking an overland trip from
Waco to this city he stopped all
night at the house of a farmer in
Milan county, through whose prem
ises the Santa Fe railway was
building. We were much amazed
during the course of the evening at
the complaint made by the head of
the family on account of the road
being built through his place and at
his remarking that he would be will
ing to give half of his possessions
If there was no railroad within 200
miles. of him. We pitied him in
tensely on what we considered good
evidence of his semi-civilized condi-
ton and his woful Ignorance But
we have since learned in our inter
mingling with the farmer classes
that the extreme prejudice of this
Milan county farmer against the
railroads is shared by nearly all of
the farmers. As unreasonable as it
may seem that they could have been
better off in the ox-cart days, when
it consumed weeks and months to
make journey and when freights
were unreasonably high, as compar-
ed with the freights under the pres
ent rapid transit of the railroads,
we have been accustomed to hear an
almost universal complaint from
the farmers, that in those primitive
days they prospered better, realized
more for their crops and were never
so hard-pressed as they have been
since the country has been cut up
by railroads. Gen. S. B. Maxey, of
Paris, in an interview published in
the News, of that city, explains the
cause of the present depression com
planned of among the farmers and
the people generally, and while he
also attributes it to the railroads, it
is no less the fault of the people in
allowing the new change of things
to throw them into an uneconomical
spend-thrift way of living. He said
before We had railroads we produced
all our bread and meat instead of
importing it. When we had no
railroads to bring readily to us meat
and flour from Kansas and Missouri
we were compelled to raise them.
We were then forced to make our
living out of the ground and raised
cotton afterwards. The result was
that with all these prime necessaries
supplied as the fruits of our own
labor, whatever was realized from the
cotton crop went into our own peck
cts as cash surplus and clear profits,
and stayed in there, instead of going
to pay off notes drawing an enor-
nous interest, which we had execu-
ted with an Incidental mortgage on
our farms for money to buy bacon
and other food products to sustain
us during the year while engaged in
making the cotton crop. Then there
were no notes to be met, no annual
installments of interest to be paid
and no meat to be bought. With
the advent of railroads it was ascer-
tanned such an easy matter to go to
town and buy a little bacon instead
of having to be bothered with rails
ing hogs, and, again, it was discov-

A SHREWD POLITICIAN.

d DH1Lb W. L OAI IIOIdN.
Gov. David Bennett Hills inau-
guration for a second term as the
chief executive of New York will
take place next week at Albany. An
associated press dispatch from the
national capital says that the Eas-
tern democrats there make no denial
of the fact that they intend, if pos
sible, to force the nomination of
Hill for president in 1892, and that
with that end IN view his friends
are going to make tremendous
blowout of his Inauguration by
making it partake of national dem
ocratic affair and by trying to in
duce prominent democratic mem
bers of congress and leaders of the
party all over the country to attend.
There is no doubt if the scheme can
be made success that it will exer-
else potent influence and will add
much to the willy governors pres
tige. There is not much doubt,
either, about his being at the bot
tom of it in proposing that it be
made to partake of such charac-
ter as has been suggested. What
ever else may be said of Mr.. Hill, it
is generally conceded that he is one
of the most shrewd, if not the
shrewdest, politician in the Empire
state, and being ambitious, as all
politicians are, it is natural to ex-
pect that such an opportunity of
bringing him into favorable promi-
nence before the national democracy
would not escape his notice. And
here the BANNER takes occasion to
say that with the present lights be-
fore it, it honestly believes that
David B. Hills nomination as the
democratic candidate for president
in 1892 is as highly probable as any
thing else concerning which specu-
lation might be INDUCED four years
in the future. We are fully aware
that at present he is under very
dark cloud, so to speak. He is free
ly charged by the democrats of the
west and southwest with having
sold out President Cleveland in his
state for the purpose of showing
the expediency of making himself
the nominee in 1892. The BANNER
has never been in sympathy with
this idea. We do not believe that
Hill is a political saint by any
means. All politicians are more or
less tricky and crafty and unless he
possessed these traits to some ex-
tent he would not be such glitter
ing success as he is. Still we do
not believe that he belongs to the
very worst school of politicians, and
cannot see how he could have aban-
doned h;s.own campaign and have
gone to Indiana to do battle for the
national cause in that state, nor
why he could have boldly stood up
on the stump in New York and de-
clared that Cleveland's cause was
his cause and have earnestly called
upon his hearers to vote for the ma
tional ticket whether they voted for
him or not, if he intended to play
the role CT political freebooter, as
sassin and traitor that he is charged
with. Every election leaves its
sores and some scapegoat must be
provided. Hill was selected as the
most convenient party to serve the
purpose. We predict that time, the
healer of all Ills. will smooth out
the asperities of the late contest,
and that before the election of 1892
the democracy will come to regard
him more leniently. The campaign

erous, noisy or violent conduct,
s1ng Crawford would probably
not have been disturbed had it not
been that this officer had a grudge
against him. He went up to the
sleeping man, violently slapped him
and roughly handled him until he
was awakened and started off with
him to the lock up at double-quick
run, showing and jerking and cuff
Ing him all the way. The young
man frequently protested against the
rough treatment, told the officer
that he wasn't resisting and was
willing to accompany him. This
had no weight with the officer, who
continued the brutal course. Craw-
ford finally stopped in his tracks
and said he would not go another
step until the officer quit leading
him. At this he was violently push
ed against wall, and while making
no threatening demonstration and
too drunk to defend himself, the po-
iceman, still holding him in the
back of the collar, placed ibis revol-
yer to his ear and blew his brains
out. Many prominent business men
were eye-witnesses and character
lied it as murder most foul and
unprovoked. Some time ago the
BANNER in commencing the action
of District Judge Beckham at Fort
Worth, inaugurated war against
the habit of deputy sherifs, police
men and constables appearing on
the streets as walking arsenals, and
this instance ought to convince
anyone that we were right. In the
large cities, where slums and low
dives exist in large numbers, where
humanity reaches its lowest ebb,
and which are frequented by the
most desperate classes of criminals,
the minions of the law are seldom
allowed to carry any weapon except
a baton. Why, then, should the Of
fcers in smaller places, as in this
state, where there is less diff
Guilty and less danger in enforc-
ing the law, be allowed habitually
to bear arms? The laws are too
liberal towards officers. They make
it an offense to resist an officer in
making an arrest. This is all right,
but it too often serves as a defense
where unnecessary violence result
ing Is death or serious bodily harm,
is used toward the party resisting,
and where officers are permitted to
go armed it encourages them to acts
of brutality and intimidation and to
assume unnecessary and unwarrant-
ed control over the liberty of person.
An officer in civilized community
ought never to bear arms when not
in the discharge of duty, and then
only when there is reason to appre
bend difficulty in making an arrest,
and the spectacle of sheriffs waiting
upon the court and bailiffs on grand
juries with pistols strapped to them
ought never to be allowed.
