widest circulation and reach into every
home in the state, for from every home
no matter how small the contribution,
some response should come. The press
of the state, daily and weekly, owe it to the
pride and fair name of Texas to see to il
that success complete and full attend this
effort and crown it at the earliest possible

as Georgia, who, within few days, raised
almost $4,000 for her Home. This noble

THE CONFEDERATE HOME FUND.

Under this heading the San Antonio
Express of yesterday ha3 the following
warm commentator OF the appeal for
the Confederate Home, and also the lib
eral offer to contribute to that fund by
raising means in line connected with the
hero who are to be benefited, aud In a
way that will prove most interesting to
it's readers. The Express said:
"The plea of Gov. Ross and others for
aid of the Confederate Home at Austin,
published yesterday, is eloquent and a
foroeful presentation of a condition which
should not exist, that ought to move
the people of the state to a contribu-
ton adequate to the placing of the
Home on an independent footing. The
MANNED ex-UOnfederates of the state
have received nothing during the quarter
of a century they have carried with them
the evidences of their sacrifices to the
cause they believed was just, save the husks
of orstory principally confined in its dis
tribution to election oampaigners, and
something more substantial is now asked,
as old age is upon them, or fast creeping
on, and the struggle for existence is more
painful and still more unequal for them.
Ex- Confederates who came out OF the war
with all their limbs intact and their gen
ersl health unimpsired, and have since
prospered, should contribute literally to
the end in view.
"To those who have not the means to
contribute in money but are willing to de-
vote few minutes of their spare time TO
the cause, the Express will make a propo-
sitiOn: For the next six months it will
publish all, or as near all as it can, of &C
counts of incidents of camp, march or
battlefield during the late war, as partici-
pated in by Texas soldiers of either side
personal "reminiscences, exploits or ad-
ventures of interest and worthy of publ
cation, and pay at the rate of $3.50 per

whether an inch or a column or more, will

THE MERCHANTS HAVE ORGANIZED.

In view OF the recent Dallas convention,
IL is rather curious to call to mind and
note that during the last session of the
legislature it was reported to the two
houses of that Legislative body that very
many, in fact the vast majority, of the
merchants of the state had or would sign
petitions against the passage OF law cre;-
ating a railroad commission. Read the
resolutions adopted by the Dallas conven-
ton and compare them with what it was
declared a few months ago were the senti-
ments of the merchants respecting the
railroads. Can you square them? The
resolutions adopted at Dallas are the
merchants side of the case, the
legislature was favored with the
railroad view. And these merchants
ask for nothing but what is right. They
ask that freight rates may be proportion
ate between points, equitable and just;
that there shall be no determinations in
favor of any particular locality or firm.
This is the soul of honest and fair deal
ing. And it is noted the merchants did
not satisfy themselves by Illuminating
few resolutions, they perfected an organ
ization and cut out distinct line of duties
for their officers to perform. The rail
roads are asked in a spirit Of amity to
meet with such officials and devise such
rates of traffic as will be even and just all
around. But if this request is not responded
TO, then the ultimate for the committee of
officers is, each one working in his own
senatorial district, to bring such influences
to bear az will result in an extra session
of the legislature, called only to regulate
those irksome irregularities complained
of. These men have many dollars, their
life's work at stake in the matter and they

EVEN TANNER APPALLED,.

While congress cut off for alleged eco
nomical reasons, $4,000 from the qusrsn-
tine appropriations most dangerous
procedure-the industrious corporal Tan
ner is adding some $20,OOo,0O to the pen
sion list. Yet a pitch of audacity has
been discovered before which even he
pauses in CONSERVATION. For years, and
while not in office, Tanner has advocated
"servioe pension" for soldiers and sea-
men. The G. A. R. are now said to be
behind and pushing such a bill, but Tan
ner, since his appointment as pension
commissioner, has had chance to ration
ally study the question, and now announces
himself as afraid of it. II would mean
an expenditure of $96,OOO,OOO year more
for pensions, and he knows the
people will not stand it. He
is quoted as saying. "There are now
about $4,000 pensions and 100000 vet
Grams, and the drain of IS per month can
be easily computed. Let the service pen
sion rect for some years" 1t is good to
see Tanner does not want the earth at one
comprehensive grasp, but is willing to
wait "some years" for it all. As now con-
Quoted our pension system is the most
menacing evil of the quarter century to
our sound financial standing and best bus
mess policy.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT PRACTICALLY
ABOLISHED.

Within the last few weeks the people OF
Texas have been shocked by two of the
most startling assassinatioDs known In
the history of the state. The killing OF
Gibson by Terry on the streets of Whar-
ton was cool and deliberate, and the VIC
tim, 80 far as known, an unarmed man.
The murder of B. O. Evans, one of the
foremost merchants and best and mosO
peaceable citizens of Fort Worth, was
cowardly and diabolical in the extreme.
These terrible homicides are only drop
in the bucket as regards the total number
of murders in this state, and indicate
something radically wrong in the execu-
ton of the criminal laws of Texas, which
fail to protect human life to the extent OF
several hundred killings annually.
According to the official report
of the attorney general covering the
two years ending December l, last, there
we're 895 indictments for murder, which
probably falls short of the actual number
of homicides committed during that time.
This would make over 400 murders in the
state annually. These figures become
still more appalling when, according to
the attorney-general's summary, out of
these 1916 indictments there were but 648
trials, resulting in 232 convictions
and 295 acquittals. Worse still,
out Of the 54S slayers tried and 232 con-
yicted only 8 we're sentenced to the gal
lows and SO to the penitentiary for life
There is no use denying the fact shown by
the attorney-general' figures that capital
punishment is practically abolished in
Texas and that the most cold-blooded
murderer in the state only takes chances
in 54S of the rope when he goes at his
bloody work.
When the legislature passed the Law
leaving it discretionary with the jury IL
capital cases to assess the penitentiary
they gave the gallows a black eye, from
which II has never recovered, and at the same
time, gave homioidal crime in Texas 6
boom, whose appalling proportions die
tinctly appear in the official report of the
attorney general of the state.
Whether we shall keep on shooting and
killing each other or restore the hangmant
rope and the scaffold is question for fu'
turs legislators TO determine.

Judge y. W. Cole.

This gentleman, who formerly pre-
sided with great dignity and ability on
the Nevada judicial bench, Is equally
eminent, we are glad to note, at the
Montana bar. Recently both the
Democratic and Republican Conven.
tons at Butte passed the nomination
Of Judge agreeing to place on their re-
spective tickets for that Office the
name OF the gentleman who the Bar
Association should select without re-
gard to politics, the object being to re-
move the ~judgeship from partisan
politics. The Association met and I'M
animously offered the nomination to
Cole, who is so well and kindly
remembered in this community.
Judge Cole declined the place, pre-
fering to remain in the practic Of the
law, and it was given to another. We
congratulate the Judge on the fact
that his great ability and integrity are
SO fully appreciated by the people
who have come to know him In his
new home.
