SHERMAN, TEX. Jan. 23.-The case
of Frank Bush, charged with false swear
ing, was disposed of on preliminary hear
ing in Justice Campbeu's court this
evening, and was watched with a great
deal of interest. The case grew out of
an attempted elopement by young man
by the name of VIII Caldwell of Gaines
vile and Miss Dora Belle Shannon of
Denison on or about December 81. Frank
Bush, who is a well known and highly re-
spected citizen of Denison, came to Sher-
man and procured license for viii
Caldwell and Miss Shannon to
marry, the parents of the lat
ter having forbidden the marriage. In
order to procure the license Frank Bush
made oath that Miss Shannon was eight
cen years of age, which he appears to
have believed from statements made to
him by others. As soon as he returned
home with the license he discovered his
mistake and came back to Sherman and
returned the license to the county clerk. a
few days later Will Caldwell came to
Sherman and made oath that Miss Shan
non was eighteen years of age and pro-
cured another license from the county
clerk to marry her. He went away and
in day or two returned with a license
which had not been executed. and when
he gave to the county clerk, stating that
he had also been deceived about Miss
Shannon's age. Miss Shannon IS
father came Immediately to Sher-
man and swore out warrants charging
Caldwell and Bush with false swearing,
and they were arrested and brought to
the city and gave bond for their appear
ance. They appeared to-day for prelim-
airy trial with large number of wit
nessses including Miss Shannon and her
parents and relatives. The evidence
showed clearly that Frank Bush had
made the oath innocently and under
false impressions, and he was
discharged by the court. Will
Caldwell waived examination and
gave bond for his appearance at the
March term of the district court, Judge
Marion Scott, Sheriff Ware and other
prominent citizens of Gainesville signing
his bond.
Deputy Sheriff Whitesides of this
county arrived in the city this afternoon

the physicians, but they declined to say
that he was any better. The stroke ap-
pears to affect his left side, the tongue
and hand being most noticeably touched.
Mr.. Gallinger says at this stage it is not
possible to determine whether the stroke
is the effect OF clot of blood at the base
of the brain (Which appears to be the
seat of trouble) or rupture OF a
blood vessel. In the first case with his
fine constitution Mr.. Burns might be eX-
pected to recover, while if a blood vessel
is ruptured the chances are decidedly
against his recovery.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The senate
vote on the tariff bill being strickly
party one, the Democrats will stand solid
in the house, and should the DILL be re-
ported from the ways and means COM
mittee, the party line would not be
broken; but the Republicans confess they
dO'not expect to ever hear of the billiagam

committee The prevailing belief is that
the bill viii never go into conference.
The Democrats will probably hold a
caucus tomorrow, and viii agree upon
a plan of disposing of the bill. Three
methods are proposed-to let it die IN
committee, to report it adversely and let
it expire by being talked to death, or TO
go into conference over it.
THE ARID LANDS.
The house agricultural committee au-
thorized a favorable report to be made on
the bill to encourage the settlement of
the arid lands of New Mexico. The bill
creates the Granada and Ell PasO reser-

of constructing and operating a series of
storage reservoirs, with a canal for the
irrigation of the desert lands on the
tornado Del Muerto and in the
Messila and Rio Grande valleys
of Southern New Mexico and
Texas, and Tor promoting agriculture and
stock raising. The company is to be al

river at some point above the Fort Selden
military reservation a sufficient quantity
of water for filing and supplying the res
ervoirs.

by word of mouth, there being no
other way to spread the news in these
primitive times. If the good Bishop
had gone over to the East-side tene-
ment district after his jeremiad. he
would have found that If bunting is
any indication Of loyalty, the poor and
the foreign-born residents of New
York are among the most patriotic Of
our citizens. We have improved our
patriotism in some respects since
Washington was inaugurated. Even
the religious denomination to which
the Bishop of New York belongs was a
Tory sect hundred years ago,
and bitterly opposed both indie
pendence and union. 1t is loyal
now. But there were other dangers
and other fault-finders in plenty a
century ago. Small critics assaulted
the fathers of the Republic then. just
as the mugwump now pitches into the
persons who are unfortunate enough
to have incurred his contempt by not
agreeing with him. If we patriots are
looking for somebody to find fault with
over the centennial, why not condemn
the owner of white stone palace in
Fifth avenue who put wooden jacket
over the accessible parts Of his resi-
dence to keep the public of carving
which cost stone-cutter his eyes. but

MUGWUMPS MOURNING.
Lamentations Not Likely to Cease Until
Democrat Is Elected,

Lamentations Not Likely to Cease Until q
Democrat Is Elected.
The sorrow of the mugwump over
the fact that the present National
Administration is Republican is the
only mournful sound these days. This
grief is all the more hopeless because
the mugwump made up his mind to be
unhappy long before the Inauguration
of President Harrison. He said. in ef-
feet, last fall that if the country would
persist in electing the candidate whom
he opposed. that the country might go
to the devil. This was hard blow to
the country, but nevertheless it de-
cided to celebrate the beginning of q
second century of the Republican ex-
pertinent, and to keep up appearances
a little longer, in the hope that the
mugwump will relent But will the
mugwump relent? Frankly, we do not
believe that he will. A human being
who was able to uphold Mr.. Cleve-
lands failures and commend his sort
Of Civil-Service reform, doubtless will
be able to find fault with another Pres
ident during an equal length of time.
Four years is not long period of
dumps for the mugwump. and since
he has elected himself chief mourner
at the demise of the Democracy, his
baying, probably. will be heard at
every full moon from now to 1898. 1t
is Il comforting thought that every
body. including the mugwump, is in
the joke. but the rest of us will never
believe that the great political humor-
ist appreciates to the full how funny he
can be. For example. there is the
Bishop of New York Who refused to be
happy during the centennial. but
PR Lched at public thanksgiv-
ing service on the dangers to
the Republic. which he has dis
covered in immigration and the
rule of the majority. OF course. these
dangers never having been thought OF
before, it was wise to warn the public
of them while there were strangers in
town, in order that the information
might travel to Harrisburg. Albany

Entitled to Vote.

The general argument for letting wo-
men vote, says A. S Blackwell. in
Woman's Journal. Is the same as
the argument for having a re-
publican form Of government rather
than a monarchy. 1t is fair and right
that those who are to obey the laws
should have q voice in making them.
and that those who pay taxes should
have a voice as to the amount OF the
tax and the way in which it shall be
spent. The fundamental principle of
republican government. roughly stated.
is this: In deciding what shall be done.
where everybody's interests are con-
cerned, We take everybody's opinion.
and go according to the wish of the
majority. As We can not suit every
body. we do what will suit the greatest
number. That seems to be, upon the
whole, the fairest way. A vote is
merely written expression OF opinion.
It is written down and put into q box.
so that it can be counted.
In thus taking the sense Of the COM
munity, certain classes Of persons are
always passed over. whose opinions. for
one reason or another. are not thought
worth counting. The laws Of different
States differ. but all agree in excluding
minors, idiots. lunatics, felons and wo-
men. There are good and obvious
reasons for all these exceptions but the
last. 1t is evident that the opinions of
children ought not to be counted, nor
those Of idiots, lunatics and criminals.
Is there any equally good reason why.
in reckoning up the opinions Of the
community. no account should be taken
of the opinions Of women? If not, they
ought to be allowed to vote.

Results Of the Tinkering Of 1883 on Amer
lean sheep Husbandry.
The new Agricultural Department
has just published the annual report
of the number Of sheep in each State
and Territory of the Union on January
last. Below is given table which
has been prepared for the purpose Of
showing the effect OF tariff legislation
upon the sheep industry of the United
States The first column shows the
number Of sheep in each State and
Territory by the census Of 1860, under
the low tariff of 1857, which was taken
one year before the Morrill, (protect-
ive) tariff began its operations. The
second column shows the number in
1880. according to the census. In 1888
the wool tariff was reduced. and the
third column gives the number Of
sheep at the first enumeration there
after. The fourth column is the re-
port for January last.
The States are arranged in sections.
with totals for each section, for con-
venlence OF comparison. A compar-
ison of the figures for any State or
Territory or Of the totals for any sec
ton, between the first two columns,
shows the effect Of protection for the
twenty years from 1860 to 1880; be-
tween the second and third columns
the effect of four years Of protection;
between the third and fourth, the re-
suit of lower prices for wool conse-
quent upon the reduction Of duties.
1t will be seen that there was q steady
increase in the greater number OF
States up to 1884. and that since then
there has been a great decrease, save
in localities where the enormous in
crease Of the farming population has
been SO great as to overcome this

AN OLD MANS STORY.
How and Why He Stole His Own

We had gathered class of boys to-
gether in the suburbs of great city,
hoping to make them better. Bats
had been thrown out in the shape of
Christmas festivals. magic lanterns,
concerts and library books, in order
that they might take their moral and
religious instruction as children take
pills in raisins, without knowing it
Most of us were young, all were zeal
Gus, and we found the path stony. 1t
was very trying to find swear words
on the blackboard. where a selection
from the Psalms was TO be written
every Sunday afternoon; to know that
the truth was not to be expected from
any of those young lips and to have
our pockets picked. or the cash-box
to buy shoes for the barefooted and
hats for the hatless: and once when we
had spoken of these things to an old
gentleman who visited us. we evoked a
sermon on dishonesty which certainly
thrilled that roomful o! street Arabs.
and turned thei: thoughts to better
things, at least for the time being.
After the boys had gone, we hocked
about the old geatleman-a rich manu-
facturer from the WeSt-and thanked
him. He had painted the career of a
thief from the moment he first took to
rilfering to the hour on which theft led
to murder and the galiows. all in plain,
unaffected language, but so thrillingly
that We had been moved to tears.
When We complimentel him he smiled
strangely, as we thought.
Il spoke from experience. l know
how thief feels. l am telling the
truth, as you will see when you have
