PoLICEMAN'S PISTOL.

Galveston criminal court has had
before it on trial this week Policeman
Grebel, charged with the murder of
Robert Crawford, whom he was TAX
ing to the lookup on the Goth day of
last December. The trial has been a
most sensational one in the sense of
having created great deal of excite
ment, and awakening intense inter-
est. The case before the court has
concluded, and is in the hands of the
jury, with probabilities of a verdict
against the prisoner. The testimony
has been very explicit, and the
judges charge was very clear and
comprehensive. The attempts of de-
Tense to couple the killing with mat
tiers affecting Grebeps family rela-
tons utterly failed. The testimony
of the chief clerk of police was to the
effect that the policeman had been
drinking quite heavily for some
months prior to the murder, and was
very nervous and excitable. 1t will
strike the ordinary citizen that this
was not very healthy kind of a po-
iceman to have around. If he
was nervous, eXcitable and drinking
considerable, he was not the man to
arm with Colts double acting pistol
and send out in the street to preserve
peace. This trial only emphasizes
what has been so frequently noted
and commented upon, the reckless
manner in which police officers
handle fire arms when making ar
rests. San Antonio is as free from
this evil as any city in the state, and
fewer complaints are made of brutal
treatment by police officers here than
in any city of its class in the country,
and this article is not a drive at our
home police. All the same the press
dispatches show that the police and
constabulary of the country are alto
gether too fresh with their weapons
and that they are not always sober,
and this murder in Galveston will
not be without its If uses it teaches
police authorities the need of dismiss
sing promptly all policemen who are
not cool headed sober men. 1t is also
a grave question if a pistol is at all
necessary for a policeman on a day
beat.

THE Ell Paso Tribune, unmindful OF
the fact that the German emperor has
effectually interposed in behalf of the
Westphalia miners, says:
"The workingmen of Germany are
Tying strikes, but the heel of despot-

necks for getting relief any farther
than that of bullets and bayonets."
Those strikes have yield ed the
miners from twenty-five to thirty per
cent. advance in wages, thanks to the
emperor's instructions to his mine in
spectors.

THE following opinion of Chicago
ldge is worthy of reproduction. 1t
Gallies exactly with what the LIGHT
has frequently advanced concerning
the Pinkerton and other detective
agencies. This is the opinion, as ex-
pressed in a trial:
IF found private detective fol-
lowing me should do my best to fix
him so that he could never follow any
one else, There should be law to
punish any one employing these
ghouls who would swear soul away
for twenty dollars"
Never, until this Internal evil of a
<Eivate detective system is wiped out
~ law, will there be any real security
o. the citizen. So long as these
Ssenas are recognized as adjuncts OF
the police force of the country, so long
are men and women at the mercy OF
those who, as the Judge says, would
swear a soul away for twenty dol
lars"

The Houston Age, like a consider
ate grandpa, who occasionally brings
his obstreperous young fry to time,
lays Dallas and Fort Worth over the
Bayou city knee and administers a re-
minder. This is one of his latest:
Houston never likes to humiIiate
or mortify her little sisters bv com
parison. Her people read with a quiet
smile the brag, and blow, and buster
IF the papers of Dallas and Fort
Worth about the growth of their
owns. But the editor of the Age. sit
ing on his gallery at home on a
bright morning in May, while listen
ing to the song of the hooking bird
and inhaling the fragrance of the hon
eysuckle, can hear the ring of the saw
and sound of the hammer on new
buildings enough to make a town like
Fort Worth or Dallas"
Houston must be doing a world of
imperceptible building by invisible
hands.

The Cronin murder is more Of a
mystery than ever. The postmortem
examination reveals no fracture of the
skull nor injury that would cause
death. There are no signs of suffoca-
ton and the breathing organs are
normal. The testimony confirms the
theory that the body in the trunk was
Cronin's and not that of a woman and
beyond that the postmortem elected
nothing. The states attorney saws
that he has positive evidence of a fonI
conspiracy, and that arrests will he
made within twenty-four hours that
will have very important hearing
upon the case. The mystery is in no
sense cleared and the public are wait,

Their Entertainments.
The party of Grangers arrived In the

and were taken to the theater by the en-
tertainment committee. Yesterday morn
ing at 8 80 about sixty of them left for
the East on the Santa Fe. Each one was
presented with basket of oranges and a
bottle of wine. They were all delighted
at this parting evidence of goodwill, and
Ex-Governor Robie, of Michigan, being
called upon for speech, responded as
follows:
MY FRIENDs-This last testimony of your
regard and fraternal feeling is wholly unex-
pected by us. You have done SO much for us
posed you had exhausted your generosity and
you could not find any other means of express
ing your esteem. But these golden oranges
and this spSThling vine presented to Us IN th1s
is the crowning act OF the most continued and
brilliant ovation ever extended to any set of
men. We have been continually surprised at
your liberality, in fact your prodtgality OF en-
tertainment. No man, woman or child of the
National Grange but goes home with the
warmest affection for your glorious county.
You have not misrepresented your county, and
we assure you we will not do SO: These good
friends of Los Angeles. who welcomed us SO
warmly on our arrival, and who now give us
such loving Godspeed, will have their
memories cherished while time lasts. We hope
to live thousand years. and to be able to come
back and spend 1t with you in this grand
country. Now, propose to give three cheers
for the Chamber Of Commerce Of Los An
geles the Granger friends of the county,
our friends MI. Fuller and Mr.. Norwood, and
want these down Casters to yell as they never
have done before"
The cheers were given in very enthu-
sisstic style.
Grand Master Brigham was called on
for bepediction, but said that his heart
was too full for utterance, and that cheer
ing was the only way to give vent to his
emotions, and he again proposed three
cheers for Los Angeles and her people.

ton will assemble on Tuesday, March
1lth, at 10 a.. M, and will continue in

representative fruit men from through

ventions are held, for the board or Or
ganization under whose auspices they
are held (and in this case this convention
will be held under your auspices) to select
some one to deliver an address of well
come on the opening day. The conven-
ton will be presided over by Hon.
Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara, but
the custom has been to elect two vice.

you will be called upon to nominate two
vice-presidents."
Messrs. Jones, Hutton and Wilmer
were appointed committee to nominate
the vice-presidents and orator, as sug.
gested in the letter.
At recent meeting of the chamber q
resolution was introduced by j. Mills

already been sent on to Representative
Vandever and had been presented to the
proper committees. The resolution was
therefore tabled.
The Committee on Lands and Irriga-
tion we're instructed to look into the
matter of an irrigation survey for this

by Mary O'Bren. Both women are in

probably have choked her to death, but

Sherif's Office seemed to be much ex-

anything worthy of hote transpiring.
