When the Parnell commission met ON
the Sd Sir Charles Russell resumed his
argument in behalf of the Parnellites. He
contended that the objects of the Irish
national league were J~usti6able before God
and man. The issue before the commits
sion depended upon the proof that Parnell
and his colleagues, under the cloak of the
land movement. had planned murders and
outrages. If no such evidence was pro-

from the shoulders of their countrymen.

How She Received His Proposals.
Washington Capital.
There is in Washington a young
typewriter whose good looks and
charming manners justifies the senti-
ments which her employer feels to-
ward her. He is in the habit of die
tating his correspondence, while her
expert fingers transfix the words as
he utters them. The other morning
he concluded to end the uncertainty
which had come into existence by
asking her to marry him. She was
engaged on some copying when he
approached her and poured out his
sentiments, and, Notwithstanding
the warmth of his pIeadings, kept
right ahead with the clickety, click
click of the instrument. In fact she
paid so little attention to him that he
became discouraged and left the
room, intending to speak to her when
her mind was free from her du-
ties. He went to his lunch, and on
his return sat down to sign lot of
letters that lay on his desk. There
was large pile, and he went through
itmechanically, until he struck sheet
near the bottom. Jumping to his feet,
he simply exclaimed: "Well, I'll be
bowed" The cold, glazing, type
written letter read:

The Bastrop advertiser comes out
honestly if not wisely and charges
the declaration of American Indepen-
'dence with asserting a foolishness:
There seems to be an epidemic of
troubles over the south between the
races. All this arises from the fool
ash assertion in the declaration of in
dependence that "all men are born
free and equal" and the effort made
TO give it practical meaning.
That is the whole case in a nut
shell. The republican party of this
country is endeavoring to carry out
he principle embodied in that i'm
ortal declaration which all the
"Orld has admired for century and
a decade and which the Advertiser
now discovers to be a delusion and a
fraud. There is no going back on
the fact. The Advertiser has hit if
square, all the negro assassination
business grows out OF reputation
of the declaration of independencs
which made of the English colonies
in America a free and Independent
nation.

FRIDAY; SEPTEMBER 10, 1899.

THE Bolton Journal is most ungen-
erOus and decidedly impractical in its
discussion of the railway question in
Texas. Disgruntled by the outcome
of the Dallas conference, the Journal
says:
There is no denying the fact that
the railways have aggravated the
discussion of their affairs by with
holding from the public the informa-
ton which all ought to possess, and
If they come in for a GOOD share of
abuse they may largely blame them
selves for it,
The railroads have not been asked
for such a statement by any cOmpe-
tent authority and had they been so
requested by committee of the state
Legislature their reply to the Dallas
committee is ample proof of what the
country would have learned from
them. Had the railways filed their
accounts and shown their balances, it
would have been received with a
smile of incredulity by the Journal
and all its kidney who see nothing
but greed and rapacity in a railway
corporation and can not conceive how
1t is entitled to consideration as a
business concern on business prlnci-

TIE dispatches this morning con-

nation was caused by Secretary No

that it was a question of Tanners res

sures him that in the whole investi-
cation nothing has appeared reflect
in the least on his honesty. 1t was
purely matter of difference as to of
fetal administration of the office, says
Secretary Noble, and had no personal
element in it. The Office will be filled
at the convenience of the President
and Tanner holds his place until his
successor is qualified. All talk about
cabinet squaObles over the matter are
mere bOsh. Every one feels kindly
toward Tanner but he does not meet
the requirements of the administra-
ton in the conduct of his office. His
sympathies OVershadow his judg-
ment, simply that and nothing more.
