CIVILIZATION AND CRIME

Discussing the killing Of Judge Terry
with the ability for which it is noted, the
New York Times says: Undoubtedly,
upon tins method of proceeding the law
casts a severe frown, and in New York
or Massachusetts it could hardly have
happened. Does IFS happening in Cali
fornia make any differences? 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 impunity declaring their pur-
pose of killing some hated enemy at the
hrst opportunity, and they do not have
reason for supposing that they may carry
out that purpose and escape the penalty.
Officers of the law do not acquire the

GOVERN0R BRoHN DEAD.

The news of Governor John c. Brown IS
death VIII be received with sorrow in
Texas where he was so well known. TIE
GAZETTE has had occasion to speak of the
dead mans services, and can add moth
ing to the testimony tina, was so cheer
fully given while he was in life and
health. Governor Brown was a great
man, and had achieved a more varied
successand distinction than the majority
of great men-he was neither failure nor
mediocre in anything he undertook; but
WIS great in politics, in war and as a
railroad manager. Governor Brown was
50 great in all things that he had no need
to assume greatness in any position to
which he was called, and he magnifled
no Office won by his commanding abili-
ties. An men admired him and many the
loved him. for John G. Brown was one
thing to all men, whether of high or low
degree. THE GAZETTE mourns his death
as that of personal friend and THE GA
zETTE knows that among the poor as well
as among the rich there will be many
sharers in ats grief.

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 Lathrop 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 ne saved Justice
Field IS life.
In this connection it is gratifying to
more explicit in its definition of justif-
able homicide than are the statutes of
Eastern states. 1t makes killing justif-
able when committed in defense of wife
or husband, parent, child, master, mis-
tress, or servant 1t viii 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 de6ni-
ton of a servant protecting his master
It is, therefore, not even likely that
Nagle will be indicted. But should he
be indicted and come 70 a trial before a
petit jury, such defense would be ample.
Deputy Maggie viii not suffer long for his
very righteous killing of desperado.

The Great Pipe Organ Built for the First
Baptist Church at this Place.
The grand pipe organ, built especially
for the First Baptist church of Fort
Worth, arrived in the city several days
ago, and the work of setting it up will
begin to-day The orgsn is not only
magnificent musical instrument, it is
also a handsome and ornate piece of fur
niture. The last issue of the Musical
Courier contains the following notice of
this great Instrument:
A large two-manuel organ for the First
Baptist church. Fort Worth, Tex, has
been completed by Geo. Jardine & Son
This instrument VIII be complete
in every detail, giving the ergaHist every
facility for the performance of all variA-
ties Of composition, from chant to an
overture. Such stops as the flute, har-
monio, gambia, dOppel flute, etc, are
close limitations of orchestral instru-
ments; the ''eolian' is exceedingly
sweet and delicate. The tone of the full
organ is grand and massive, so well bal
Rnced is the vOicing of all the registers
Jardine & Son are very busy at present.
They will complete large thFee-manual
organ for st. John IS Roman Catholic
church, Providence, by next Christmas.

THIS is a free country. and the methods
OF tyranny are obnoxious to the people.
What with boYcotts and reckless leader
ship and causeIess strikes, the Knights
OF Labor are in the last ditch. The order
in lis most fiourishing days probably had
a membership over half 4 million. At
the convention held in Indianapolis last
November it was admitted that the mem
bership had fallen off 300, 900 within
year, and measures of retEenchment were
taken in accordance with the diminished
resources. Now, according to the Chi
cago Knights of Labor, which gives
numerous figures showing the wiping-
ont Of assemblies, there are less than
100, 900 members and IN the opinion of
that journal the order ''has ceased to be
a factor in the labor problem. - There
is lesson in this to organized labor
that ought to result in "good to the
order aud TO the public.
