wish that all Democrats in this state
should vote the straight Democrat

prospect of complete Democratic vic
tory in November would be greatly i'm

The president Of the Farmers and
Daifymens Association Of Pennsylvania
has made statement concerning the
affairs Of that company and the relations
toit,of William S. Darlington, the young
lawyer who committed suicide recently
This statement exonerates the brilliant
young lawyer from all wrong. g.doing and
confirms our early opinion that the man
was TOO Sensitive for his position 1t is
almost impossible for us to judge of
others. although that does not appear TO
keep us from passing Judgment almost
hourly upon this or that unfortunate.
Mr.. Darlington, apparently, possessed a
temperament so sensitive and moral
conception so lofty as TO make
it impossible for him to commit
the oifenses which were charged
against him On the contrary the moral
limitations Of his principal accuser at
least. the editor of the Philadelphia
Tmes, are such as would make it quite
easy and natural for him to commit the
wrong alleged Thus the Times could
not possibly understand that Darlington
might be innocent after ALL and he could
not understand why the Times
should so cruelty accuse him. Colo

no man is honest by nature or by prefer
ence. He is unfortunate in his standard

WEALTH TOM BEAN LEFT.
IT IS NOW BEING FOUGHT OVER
WITH GREAT VlGOR.

He Was as Notable Man in His Way as
That other Great Texan, Sam Houston,
and Hero Is a History of His Life and
Death.
Thomas Colmore Bean, the eccentric
millionaire, who died in Texas somewhat
more than year ago, leaving an estate of
almost incalculablc value to be squabbled
over by his brothers and his cousins and
his aunts, was almost as much noted,
though in different way, as that other
erratic Texan, Sam Houston.
For more than forty years Bean lived
in Bonham, Tex. attending strictly to
his own affairs, accumulating wealth,
having little to do with his neighbors and
displaying q decided tendency to mis-
ogyny-indeed, he was almost nissan
thrope. He never had any intimates,
though he was q familiar character TO
every body. Scarcely anything was known
Of his history before his appearance in
the Lone Star state, in 1S43 He was then
young man of % or % years, and pro-
hcicnt surveyor. He was preceded by
several months by his father, Colmore
Bean, veteran of the war of 1912, who
died and was buried in Bonham in 1916.
His burial place, overgrown with rank
weeds, is still pointed out in u neglected
old graveyard. So far as is known, they
came to Texas from Fayetteville, Ark.
to which place they with John and
Oscar, brothers to Thomas c., came from
Palmyra, Mo. 1%w
When Thomas Bean first made his debut
in Texas he was almost ponniless, but his
knowledge Of surveying stood him in good
stead, and he commenced locating land
for himself and others. Little attention
was then paid to the hermit like young
stranger, who even then possessed tho
noble trait Of attending to business But
the tide Of immigration which soon com
menccd to flow into Texas brought him
into notice by developing the fact Of his
possession of tracts of fine land, and that
he was destined to be one Of the future
land kings Of the Lone Star state. He was
frugal, economiEing, and very eccentric,
living alone in q little one room hut, sur
rounded by negroes Former slaves, one of
whom, q young man, he educated and
dressed elegantly. He never married
