APPEALING FOR AID.
A Plea for the Manned and Disabled Con.
federate Soldiers.
To the People of Texas:

To the People of Texas
Several years ago "The John B.
Hood Camp" of this city, inaugurated
a plan for establishing home for dis
abled, INDECENT ex-Confederate soldiers.
The philanthropic men who under
took the enterprise had many difficult
ties to encounter, but have accom-
plished a good work, and can point
with pride to a beautiful home where
about thirty of the old heroes are
comfortably sheltered.
The present accommodations, how
ever, are not commensurate with the
demand, and hundreds of worthy APP
plicmts, left in perjury by the vicissi-
tudes of war and doomed to remain so
by physical disabilities, must be de-
MED admittance.
Travis county could easily care for
her own dependent soldiers, but the
object of this institution is to shield
from beggary and want all the brave
fellows whose prodigies of valor were
once the admiration of the world.

her sons to arms, and without ques-
tioning the right or considering the

The Power of Ink.

"a small drop of ink, falling, like
dew. upon thought, proclaims that
which makes thousands, perhaps
millions, think" wrote Byron. The
inspiration of his pen might give the
dusky fluid such a far-reaching power,
and we wish we were possessed of such
an inspiration, that we might, through
a like medium, bring into such ex-
tended notice the matchless virtues OF
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets

which contain, in concentrated
form, the active principles of vegetable
extracts that Dame Nature designed
especially to promote healthy action

PUNISH THE ARISTOCRATIC SWIM
DLER.
The New Orleans Picayune, speak
ing of the bond swindle and the de-
mand of the encouragement of Louis
lana for restitution upon persons who
collected interest from the state on
fraudulent coupons, says every person
who has been victimized into purchas-
ing such worthless bonds can force the
victimizer to make restitution, and
this refunding can be pushed to the
original guilty party provided it can
be shown at each stage of successive
transactions who negotiated or sold
the bonds. In this way innocent
holders can save themselves, and the
crime and loss be pushed back on the
original guilty parties.
But it is not enough that restitu-
ton be made, even if not dollar of
final loss should fall upon
the state or upon individuals.
1t is not in accordance with
any demand of right or justice
that robbers, however rich and i'm
portant, shall be able to buy immu-
nifty for their crimes. 1t is meet
enough that poor and humble Grim
inals shall be brought to justice and
made to suffer the full penalty for
their misdeeds. The same law makes
no distinction in favor of the wealthy
and powerful. In crime they are all
alike. No demonstration of pity or
sentimentality should be permitted to
operate to make social distinctions in
villainy. The aristocratic swindler,
the rich robber, the high-toned thief,
is 40 better than his obscure and con-
temned brother. There is one law
for all. There should be u common
fate for all of equal guilt.

In presenting the claims of such an

whereof the world holds record"-can-
not neglect the comrades who fell by

We who, when the morning

SHARP ALMOND-EYED CELESTIAL

SHARP ALMOND-EYED CELESTIALS.
The Morning Call, of San Fran
cisco calls attention to the fact that
Chinese women are permitted to land
in America in spite of the law. 1t
says the On Loung company has so
fixed things that Chinese women are
landed on payment of the sum of
800. 1t is also stated that the par
ties who decline to pay this sum to
the On Loung company find it exceed
ingly difficult to prove to the salts
faction of the authorities that the
women in whom they are interested
have a right to land. Of course,
it is II matter of evidence.
The On Loung company
has constructed certain machinery
which, it is said, turns out witnesses
to orler. If the 800 is paid the evil
dence is forthcoming; if not, only
such women as clearly have right to
land can pass. The authorities owe it
to themselves and to the country to get
the better of the On Loung machinery
1t does not look well that combina-
ton of Chinese highbinders should
hold the power to land Chinese on
false evidence on payment of sum Of
money. 1t may almest be said in this
case that the congress of the United

CHARITABLY inclined folks who
want to gain the everlasting good will
of the able editors of Fort Worth can
do so by forwarding to them San Diego
and Los Angeles, Cal, papers of a
year ago, containing statements about
"bank clearances," "big increase in
values" rush of people," and other
like utterances. San Diego and Los
Angeles papers no longer publish such
items. In very truth, the inflated
value boom of Southern California is
"busted."
