Deputy Maggie.

There is very little doubt that Deputy
Maggie knew perfectly well what he was
about. He knew that it was his business
to protect Justice Field from Terry and
his wife, and when he saw them enter
the dining room at LathTop he felt that
the hour had come He had lived too
long on the border not to know that with
such people it was a question of life or
death. The man that got 1.-the DROP
was the best man, and he prepared him
self to secure that coveted position. He
obeyed the instructions of the attorney
general to the letter, and by his precision
and prOmptness of action he saved Justice
Field s life.
In this connection it Is gratifying to
know that the California statute Is much
more explicit in its definition of justif-
able homicide than are the statutes of
Eastern states. 1t makes killing justifi-
able when committed in defense of wife
or husband, parent, child, master, mis-
tress, or servant. It will take no great
flight of fancy on the part of a grand
jury to see that Maggie, being an assigned
bodyguard of Justice FIELD was so far
his servant, and consequently a shooting
to protect him comes within the dedni-
ton of q servant protecting his master.
It is, therefore, not even likely that
Nagle will be indicted. But should he
be indicted and come to trial before a
petit jury, such defense would be ample
Deputy Maggie will not suffer long for his
very righteous killing of q desperate.

work those who have it in hand, not
pausing to inquire into their nationality,
politics or religion.
1t is a very small piece of business in
any man claiming to love Texas to seek to
hamper those who are doing what the
state so sorely needs, and the people
viii be quick TO suspect the motives that
prompt such efforts at obstruction.
Texas is very Democratic, but it is
neither a fool nor an migrate, and its
people are not idiots to accept such rot
as that deep water harbor can
be made to exclusively benefit
the members of any one party
or church. TO assert this is to challenge
the sanity of the people in the state and
excite a very general suspicion that
somewhere in the wood pile is concealed
al odoriferous Senegambian.

Our Alien Landlords.
Boston Globe.

1t is fact worth thinking about in all
its bearings that over %, 900 900 acres of
the soil of these United States are owned
by citizens of European countries. This
vast acreage owned by the aliens Is equal
to nine states the size of Massachusetts
The alien English landlords in Ireland ,
who are properly charged with response
bility for nine-tenths of the miseries and
expressions endured by the IRISH people,
do not own half as many acres there as
alien Europeans own in this country. 1t
Is time congress did something decisive
in the way of Iegislating the large alien
land syndicate off American soil.

Government NIonOpolY.
Chicago Tribune.

While private monopolies, subject to
no restraint but the greed of their men,
bers, are regarded with mistrust, there
is a growing disposition to look upon gov
eminent monopolies with favor. The
postal system is an absolute government
monopoly, conspicuous for low rates and
efficient service, Notwithstanding the
fact that competition is completely sup
pressed. All the advantages that arise
from cutting off the wastes of oompetI-
ton and operating the postal system as a
consolidated monopoly are secured to the
people. Hence it is claimed that like re-
suits could be attained by putting the
railroad system in the hands of the
government. The government could
take the railroads by condemnation
at fair valuation, and it would
need to charge rates no higher than
would be sufficient to pay interest on the
capital actually invested. It's tariffs
could be adjusted without making any
effort to procure revenues on watered
stocks and bonds. It could give the pub
lie all the benefits it could attain by the
superior economies of a consolidated
management. Every argument in favor
of a railroad trust can be turned into a
"eapoh IOL JIG auNOCdt0S VI SOFSIH uuSHI
control. Notwithstanding the enormous
difficulties in the way of establishing a
government system of railroads, and the
grave doubt whether political influneces
and the partisan character of the civil
service would not prevent the successful
operation of such a system, the idea is
taking a firm root in the public mind,
and will be greatly strengthened by
every movement in the direction of
railroad trust.

AN INVESTIGATION in New York shows
that about one million, one hun
red and ten thousand persons in
that city draw their water supply
from roof tanks, and that of these
at least 80 per cent. are foul, while 10
per cent. are so filthy and stagnant as to
endanger human life. Statements like
these have a tendency to make Fort
Worth people appreciate the great boon
they possess in the abundance of abso-
Iutely pure artesian water from over four
hundred wells.

THE MOUTH OF THE BRAZOS.

The work of making deep water at the
mouth of the Brazos progresses steadily
and all Texas rejoices save, perhaps,
those who would rather see the state for
ever without a deep water harbor unless
it could be made where their private in
terests would be subserved. This work
at the mouth of the Brazos
is being performed by private
capital, and it matters not TO the
people of this state whether the
company working to confer this great
boon on the Southwest is composed of
Northern men or Southern men, Jews or
Gentiles, Republicans or Democrats or
mugwumps, Catholics or Protestants.
The need of the state IS deep water, and
its exceeding great prosperity is to come
from deep water; and since neither
the Federal nor state government has
evinced a power and Willingness to Sc
cure a harbor. Texas welco mes to the

CIVILIZATION AND CRIME

Discussing the killing of Judge Terry
with the ability for which it is noted, the
New York Times says: Undoubtedly 3,
upon this method of proceeding the law
casts a severe frown, and in New York
or Massachusetts it could hardly have
happened. Does its happening in Cali
fornia make any difference? The affair
grows out of a stage of civilization and a
state of sentiment which cannot be dis
regarded in Judging the matter. In this
part OF the country people do not go
about with IMMUNITY declaring their pur-
pose of killing some hated enemy at the
first opportunity, and they do not have
reason for suppOsing that they may carry
ont that purpose and escape the penalty.
Officers of the law do not acquire the
habit from experience of shooting GRIM
inals as the only means of securing them
without risking their own lives, or Of as
Stunning that personal encounter with q
known ruffian means death if the ruffian
is not promptly shot. In a different
longitude and latitude the customary
Prescriptions are different from ours. -
This ''superior civilization style of
discussing crime throughout the country
comes with a bad grace from city
wherein Stokes killed Fiske. 4 COM
parIsou of the civilizations that produced
respectively the killing of Fiske and the
killing of Terry from the able pen OF the
Times would be interesting and instruc-
tive reading.

To Put Out rbeatre rire..

Tho protection Of theatres from injury
by fire has taxed tho ingenuity of in
vcntors ever since playhouscs were first
constructed, and all kinds of devices
have been tried to provide for tho safety
of audiences, with more or less success.
Last night an exhibition was given in
Mason street of an apparatus invented
by District Engineer j. w. Reagan.
whose headquarters are at tho house of
Engine 26, which promises far to excel
anything of the kind ever adapted to tho
uses of the stage. 1t is very simple in
its construction, being what might bo
termed brass nozzle, formed like the
burner of an ordinary kerosene lamp,
with three aperturcs two and one-half
inches across.
Through these apcrtures (Which in q
lamp would contain tho wick) fan shape
streams of water can be elected to a
height Of about seventy feet and of a
width nearly as great. This contrivanco
will be first placed in tho fremont thea
trc. Ono will bo placed Immediately
under tho proscenium arch, and that
alono will bo sufficient to throw a spray
of water so dense as to prevent the fiercest
fire from passing through it, as it will
completely cover tho whole space occu-
pied by tho front Of the stage. For
moro perfect protection there will bo
ono placed on each side Of tho proscen-
ium arch, about half way from the floor
of the stage otho top of the proscenium.
With three great bodies of water thrown
in as many different directions across
tho stage it is believed that it will be a
matter Of impossibility for fire to leap
across it.-Boston Herald.

There was simple old Irish gardener
who had laid out his masters garden
very beautifully. He took that pride in
it that all gardeners take in their work.
We all take moro or less delight in our
work, and artists who paint pictures,
men who write books, machinists who
run engines and everybody who has con-
genial work and congenial implements
gets up certain affection for them. But
did you ever SEQ gardeners hang over
their flowers? Something of tho love of
mothers for children seems to animate
them. They watch them grow from bud
to flowers with wonderful interest; they
take them up tenderly; they touch
them with care, and when they wither
they cut the withcred stem with GER
tain pity which is very cretlitablo to hu-
man nature. This old Irislman was
showing stranger over the grounds,
and with enthusiasm he explained how
he had done everything, what idea lie
had in the designs of the flower plots,
and he was taking great pride in it all.
Tho stranger would frequently point to
some little bit of design and remark on
its beauty. Tho Irishman would say:
"Yes, sor. did that"
Tho stranger pointed to spreading
tree that threw shadow over The center
of the grounds.
"What beautiful trcc!'
"Indadc it is, sor. God Almighty did
that, sor. New Orleans Picayune.
