WRITING of the Indiana White

WRITING of the Indiana White
Caps, the Ell Paso Tribune says:
"The White Caps of southern Indi-
ana are coming to the front nicely.
Eleven are under arrest and there are
more to follow The stern inflexi
bility of the law is the only remedy
for the outrages perpetrated by these
highly moral and officious regulators
of society"
This is equally true of all law of
tenders. Courts were instituted to
deal with law breakers and the law
must take its own course. 1t is very
gratifying to note that all the leading
Journals of the country heartily APP
prove the course of the Birmingham
sheriff in defending the Jail from the
attack of those who purpOsed taking
the law into their own hands.

THE Exponent, the official organ of
the Navarro county Alliance has this
to say concerning proposed nomina-
ton for Harrison's cabinet:
"We see in some of our exchanges
mention of Judge Jno. b. Rector of
Austin, for secretary of the interior.
Judge Rector has the ability, and his
honesty aud purity of purpose has
never been questioned. The honor
could fall on no worthier shoulders.
Judge Rector would do credit to the
position"
Judge Rector is man who would
be acceptable to Texas republicans in
any position in which he could be
placed, and, if Texas is to secure a po-
sition in the cabinet, which is as i'm
probable as that Cleveland will be
the next democratic president, Judge
Rector's nomination would cause less
neart-breaking and heart-burning
than the appointment of any other
Texan. This state is split up into
factions in both parties, but the de-
mocracy pull together i'm an ener-
gency and the republicans do not.
The jealousies apparent during the
last campaign were responsible for
the failure to elect in the seventh dis
trict and greatly aided Joe Savers in
this. We must have union or sue
