A prominent member of the Farm,

clared to us his purpose to discon-
tinue his subscription to the Dallas
Mercury, the state organ of the ALI
ance, because of the insertion by that
paper of the advertisement Of the
alottery. Our friend is right;
we can have no faith in any man or
paper, claiming to advocate the cause
Of laboring men, which will lead them
from the path of honest steady in
dustry by publishing the insidious
promises Of q purely gambling and
demoralizing concern such as said

The Fort Worth Gazette desires
that no obstacle be thrown in the
way of negro emigration to Mexico.
The black brother, it asserts, is dis
tinctly demoralized. His nature is
essentially Of the lower order and he
cannot help dragging down those
borught into contact with him. In
sections where tho white man largely
preponderates the negro is slowly i'm
proved. In sections where the negro
preponderates the white man is rapid
~ deteriorated, ETC., etc. All OF
which shows that the Gazette knows
little of the Caucasian and less OF the
African. There are many portions OF
the south in which the negro inhabi-
tants are in the majority. There is
no portion where they have not to
some extent bettered since the war,
and no portion in which the whites
have gone backward. Owing to ma
tural and created conditions progress
has been unequal. North Carolina
has not advanced with the speed OF
Texas. But that it has advanced,
and that it will continue to advance,
no informed man will attempt to de-
ny. The negro is suited for work in
southern fields. His initiative facul
ty makes of him an excellent south
ern mechanic. His few wants and
tremendous physical power render
him q most desirable cheap laborer.
If the day comes when he is totally
eliminated from the country where
he has lived for more than two hun
dred years, it will be the worst for
the south and the worst for him.
The Gazette should try again.-San
Antonio Express.

The Terry.Broderiek Duel.

Col. Joseph McKibben, OF Wash
ington, the only survivor Of tho above
named duel, is reported as speaking
OF Judge Terry since the recent TRACE
dy as follows. We copy at the sug
gestion OF friend OF Judge Terry:
"Yos, l know Terry, and q drawer
man meyer drew the breath OF life,
he said. "He was a principal in tie
duel with Broderick, and, AZ you well
know, I was the second Of the latter.
There never was a duel fought faireI
or squnrer.
"Brodorick had rs many friends
present as Terry, and whils the result
terminated in the death of my prin-
cipal, I can say nothing against Terry
/ know il has been charged that Ter
ny fred before the word was given,
but this didn't believe. 1 am now
the only living man that was present
at that duel. In regard 10 the killing
of Judge Terry, by Marshal Maggie !
certainly think he exceeded his author
ity. No man has right to go around
with revolver ready TO kill his fellow
man. That was necessary In the
days Of the 40 boys, when a fellows
life was in his own hands. Things
have changed now, and civilization
has changed the manner OF living.
mo matter what people may say
about Terry, no one can question his
courage. He has proved that over
and over again. While he was a
thorn in the sides of great many
Calitornians, he was strong man in
the respect Of great many OF us
old Californians. I only know what
I have seen in tho papers, but from
that account 1 do not think Nagle
had any right to use such extreme
measures as he did"

Questions to Cronin Jurrmen.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Cronin trial was
resumed this morning. Judge Mcconnell
decided to allow the following questions
asked by the defense of the talesmen:
"1-Have you formed any opinion as to
whether Dr. Cronin was taken to the Carl
son cottage by a horse and buggy engaged
by Daniel Coughlin, from Oman, the liy-
cry MANI
''2-Have you any opinion as to whether
or not Martin Burke, one of the defendants,
was a tenant of said Carlson cottagel
''3-Have you any opinion that the so
called Clan-na- Gael society is in any way
to blame for the death of DR.. Croninl
"4-Have you any opinion as to whether
the death of DR.. Cronin was the result of O
conspiracy!
''5-Have you formed any opinion as to
whether any of these defendants were
members of said conspiracy!''
A selection of jury resulted.
The afternoon session was devoted en-
tirely to the examination of iurymen
Four men were rendered to the prosecu-
ton by the defense, but two of them were
peremptorily challenged by the state and
excused. The remaining two men were
held over till tomorrow, and it is possible
the state may conclude to accept one or
even both of these gentlemen. No definite
progress therefore in the selection of jury
has been made thus far, and the prospects
are that a full jury will not be secured
until the peremptory challenges of both
sides are exhausted and legal disqualified
tons become the only pretext for rejecting
a Juror
