VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS"

How Colonel Snort Collected IS for the
Austin Confederate Home.
From the Texas Siftings.
By the way, did you hear how 1 raised
So for the Confederate home at Austin?
For several months past efforts have
been made to raise money for the Home,
but, as the Atlanta Constitution puts it,
the result has been meager. There are a
great many people in New York who feel
for the poor ex-Confederate, but they
don't feel in their pockets. Some very
rich Leople have whanged copper cent
into the contribution box and then leaned
back with $40 smile of benevolence.
Sympathy is freely given because it don't
cost anything. I'm told that one million
aire gave as a reason for contributing a
nickel with hole in it that he didn't know
how TO put the hole in the box without
putting the nickel in, too.
When l was in New York I made the &C.
quaintance of Editor Sheppard, of the
Mail and Express. The result was that l
got my can full and more. Whenever l
get tight think of the war. and it made
me mad to think how slow these New
Workers were in coming down. Seeing q
police man in blue, pulled my pistol on
him.
hat-do-you-mean~ he gasped.
"I'm accepting voluntary contributions
for the Confederate Soldiers home at Aus
tin, Tex" replied. ave are once more
a happy and united people," l added,
holding the pistol under his nose.
He reluctantly shelled out dollar.
you must remember that the war is
over and that we should strive to forget
the bitter memories of the past. One dol
lar isn't enough. Let there be no more
bad feeling between the blue and the grey.
Five dollars is the lowest amount I'm &C
cepting," added, drawing a bead on
him.
Then the boy in blue cheerfully handed
out four more dollars, which l have turned
over to Chaunoey Depew, who is chairmsn
of the New York committee.
The people here are aching to contrib
ute, but you have to go at them in the
right way. Making poor mouth and
passing the hat has no effect on them.
They are full of the milk of human kind
ness, but they have to be MIXED with
six-shooter before they let it down.
If had half dozen Texas cowboys to
assist me in soliciting voluntary contribu-
tions, in two days we could have money
enough to build Confederate home as
big as the capitol at Washington for
every crippled soldier in Texas.
Your friend,
BILL SNORT.

Honestly and Intelligence.

1t pays to be honest, you say.
Granted.
Yet how many are dishonest through
ignorance, expediency or Intentionally.
One can be dishonest and yet say nothing.
clerk who let's a customer buy dam
aged piece of goods, witness who holds
back the truth which would clear pris-
oner, a medical practitioner who takes
mis- patients money when he knows he is
doing him no good-all are Gu lpably dis
honest.
Speaking of the dishonesty of medical
men reminds US that only the past week
there has come under our personal OBJ
servation form of dishonesty which is
almost too mean for narration.
1t Is generally known that doctors bind
themselves by codes, resolutions and oaths
not to use any advertised medicines. Now,
there is medicine on the market which,
for the past ten years, has accomplished a
marvellous amount of good in the cure of
kidney and liver diseases, and diseases
arising from the arrangement of these
great organs-we refer to Warmers Safe
Cure. So widespread are the merits of
this medicine that the majority of the
doctors of this country know from actual
evidence that it will cure advanced kidney
disease, which is but another name for
Bright's disease.
The medical profession have put them
selves on record as admitting that there
is no cure for this terrible malady, yet
there are physicians base enough and dis
honest enough to procure Warmers Safe
Cure in a surreptitious manner, put the
shpoa iDtn ploin four-nunoa viaIa md
charge their patients 50 per vial, when
sixteen ounce bottle of the remedy, in its
original package, can be bought at any
drug store in the world for $l.25.
Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure
of the patient justifies his dishonesty, yet
he will boldly stand up at the next county
medical meeting and denounoe Warmers
Safe Cure as patent medicine, and one
which he cannot and will not use.
The fact is that the people are waking
up to the truth that the medical profess
sion is far from honest, and that it does
not possess monopoly of wisdom in the
curing of disease, doctoring the
many symptoms of kidney disease,
instead of striking at the seat of
disease-the kidneys themselves-allo
ing patients to die rather than use rem
edy known to be specific simply because
it has been advertised, and when patients
are dead from Advanced Kidney Disease,
still practicing deception by giving the
cause of death in their certificate as pneu-
monia, dropsy, heart disease, or some
other accompanying effect of Bright's
Disease.
All this is prima facie evidence of in
competency, bigotry and dishonesty.
We speak but the truth when we say
that Messrs. II. II. Warner Il Go. have
done most philanthropio work for the
past ten years in educating the people up
to the knowledge they now enjoy, espec-
tally of maladies growing out of diseases
of the Kidneys and Liver, and are deserv-
ing of all praise for their honesty and
rsightforwardness in exposing shams
and dishonesty of all kinds.

to the state as a perpetual school fund.
Clear of contingencies, disregarding al
ternate grants to corporations, ignoring
all Gales which may or may not have been
made by the Legislature, the school fund,
by a solemn dedication under the voice of
the sovereign people through the Consti-
tuition of 1876, was vested with an undi
vided half of the public domain at that
time unappropriated.
The sovereign people, therefore, through
that convention spoke as a grautor, by
expressly comforting title to one-haf of
By that grant trust fund was created,
and the state or the legislature was ap-
pointed trustee to perform an express
trust. The public free schools were the
beneficiaries.
Now the question is, has this trust fund
been disposed of according to the terms
of the grant which created it? Certainly
not; for we see no provision for a parti-
ton of the public domain so as to set
apart one-half of it to the public free
schools. In truth, as will appear from
the facts admitted i'll this case, the public
free schools get less than one-third of the
public domain. About all they have got
ten has been by virtue only of
the alternate certificates, which, were
granted to railway and other corporations.
Quite all it does get is out of these con-
ditional grants. 1t has got nothing by
the express grant of one-half. Therefore,
as logical sequence, had the legislature
in its discretion not granted any of the
lands to corporations, then the public
free schools of the state would absolutely
be without any benefit from the public
domain except the small sum that has
arisen from the sale of some parts thereof.
Regard for the plain words of the Con-
stitution now in force and for the un-
clouded intent to be found in them would
give to the perpetual public free school
fund of Texas, in addition to its alternate
sections, one-half interest in every foot of
land held by any private corporation
under the state.
Judge Key took the case under advise
ment.

Shooting Scrape,

Last night about 11:15 O'Clock, in the
neighborhood of the East Ninth street
colored church, the sound of pistol shot
was heard. The police were soon on the
spot, and found that the shot was the
result of quarrel between Green Craw-
ford and Will West, both colored, and
about ~ or % years of age. 1t seems the
quarrel was the result of an old misun-
Outstanding. After some words between
the two, Green Crawford discharged his
pistol at West, the ball entering the left
breast, about two inches below the nipple,
and, striking rib, glanced around the
body, Embedding itself in the flesh
but not making a deep or dangerous
wound. West was brought down town for
medical attention, but was found to be
doing 80 well was shortly sent home. At
a late hour last night Crawford had not
been caught, though several police officers
were on his trail.

his punishment by fine of $25. Judg-
ment was rendered accordingly, with an
order of the district court removing
Jadge Breckenridge from Office and de-
claring the Office vacant, and from this
Judgment the appeal was taken.
It was insisted by counsel for defend
ant that the judgment removing from of.
fee is unauthorized, because the acts OF
which defendant was convicted were com
united before he had qualified as county
Judge as his own successor in that Office.
On this point the court holds that the acts
committed by defendant, having been
committed subseq uent to his reelection,
were not condoned, and constituted
ground for his removal from the office, al
though at the time of their commission he
had not qualified under his reelection.
This court, too, does not hesitate to say
that "an officer who willfully demands fees
not allowed by law is guilty of official mis-
conduct, Willful in its character, and that
a conviction of that offense is q conviction
involving official misconduct within the
meaning of the statute Revised Statute,
articles $685. 1894 and not only warrants
but demands his removal"
1t was made to appear, in motion for
a new trial supported by afidaVits, that
one Doss who served on the jury in the
cause was not qualified juror of Travis
county, and the evidence tends to show
was prejudiced, and for this reason alone
this court holds that defendant was en-
titled to a new trial and the judgment of
the lower court IS accordingly reversed
and the cause remanded.
Judge Hurt is not prepared to assent to
or dissent from the conclusion of a ma
iority of the court as to the demand"
but concurs in the other views expressed
in the opinion.
In the course of his opinion Judge Will
son makes this statement for the court:
eve are not prepared to say that by rea-
son of the disqualified juror the defend
ant suffered no injury to his rights even
were we at liberty to consider that ques-
tion."
