Attacked on the Street.

Special to the Statesman.
DALLAS, May 19.-Rev. S. A. Hayden,
D. D., editor of the Texas Baptist Herald,
was attacked this evening on Commerce
street in front of the Texas and Pacific
building by Mr.. E. A. Ferrin, who used a
horsewhip on the reverend gentlemen
Ferrin made the attack saying:
"You have slandered my wife"
The doctor fed, but Ferrin pursued and
caught him and administered punishment
lavishly. Tie cause of the trouble, it i:
said, was the circulation of report in
volving the name of Mrs. Ferrin, and
having its origin in the pending Baptist
church troubles. Ferrin gave bonds.

GERMAN Y.
BISMARCK AND THE STRIKERS.

BERLIN, May 1s.-Tne North German
Gazette prince Bismarck's organ), in an
article refuting the assertion of the Co.
logne Gazette that the condition of affairs
in Westphalia arising from the mineer's
strike does not warrant proclamation of
state of siege in that province, says the
proclaimed state act under which a state
of siege is proclaimed applies to the pres
ent case in Westphalia, but the govern
ment has not enforced the provisions of
the act, owing to motives of expediency.
1t also points out that the constitution
empowers the emperor to proclaim mar
tisl law in any district if public safety is
threatened.

AN excellent editorial paragraph from
the New York World anent the centennial
LIBERATION, which to this time we have
not seen reproduced, but which is emf
nently worthy of republication, is the fol-
lowing:
"There was no more pleasing and signifi-
cant feature of the great celebration just
concluded than the splendid popular re-
oeption given to the troops from the
Southern states last Tuesday. 1t was
more thar hospitable-it was friendly.
1t was more than cOrdial-it was enthusi-
astic. Upon several occasions since the
close of the war the "blue and the grey"
have mingled in civic celebrations. But
never before have large bodies of
southern troops marched in company
with the militia of the north, each
detachment headed by the governor of
its state and representing at once the
local independence of the state and the
oneness and supremacy of the union. 1t
was happy thought to have the columns
from the different states march in order
of the admission of the states to the union.
This felicitous arrangement bridged over
the period of the war and took the minds
of the participants in and spectators of
the pageant back to the original and In
dissoluble compact. The more perfect
union whose foundation was one of the
chief purposes of the Constitution is
surely realized. 1t has been welded in the
fierce heat of war and tempered in the
fires of new and larger patriotism.
When the people and the soldiers are
thus united politicians will find little en-
coursgement in attempts to SOW discord.

BRAVE seaman, Vim. Foye by name,
who, during the terrible naval disaster at
Samoa, jumped overheard twice to rescue
some of his shIpmates, and once to relieve
the ships propeller from rope which
had fouled it, has been applauded for his
heroism by special order issued from
the navy department and directed to "be
read at quarters on board all the ships of
the navy in commission" This, no
doubt, will prove very touching and
every memorable testimonial for that
brave fellow, but is it not, after all, an
empty honor? Had he not possibly q
mother, sister or some one dependent
more or less upon him? Does not the
government owe a more substantial testi-
monial to the gallantry of such men, who
peril their lives in its causeH If that had
been an officer, would the department
have contented itself merely with the is
suauce Of such an orderY Our govern
ment can afford TO reward heroism better
than that.

INc1DENT to the appointment of a new
United States treasurer, the nearly two
hundred million dollars of idle money in
the national treasury must all be counted.
The great bulk Of this is in gold and sill
yer, and it will require, it is estimated,
some sixty experts about five months of
daily work to count it. While the people
in many parts of the United States are
paying twelve and fifteen per cent for
money, and very much more for all classes
of manufactured goods than, under other
conditions than at present exist, they
would be worth, how will they enjoy this
spectacle of government gloatipg over
ill-gotten gaing Such princely surplus
is not in keeping with the true principles

IT will be remembered during the build
ing of our granite state house some
Scotch granite cutters from the old
country were landed in Galveston and a
great hue and cry went up that the capitol
syndicate was importing foreign skilled
labor under contract, against United

case in court, but its institutipg showed
the drift of sentiment. 1t now appears

English convcts to an emigrant agent 10
Seguin at the rate of eight or ten a

this, indeed it has not been known until a
day or 80 ago the authorities at Castle
Garden in New York discovered it. What
do our people think of Texas becoming a
dumping ground for such refuseH With
the utmost and an abiding good
will for laboring classes, and desire that
they shall not be crowded by foreign labor,

being thrust upon us. Our immigration
laws cannot be made too strict to guard us
against these new seeds of criminal
growth.

IT is good news which the Ell Pasc
special brought yesterday, to the effect
that John W. Young, son of the late
Brigam Young, together with financial
agents of the Mormon church, have, for
100000, purchased a league of land in
Mexico in the northwestern part of the
state of Chihuahua, and that "manY
thrifty Mormons are moving to the prop,
erty, having despaired of the admission OF
Utah as state" Such cotton is most
commendable in those disciples of licen-
tiousness. They have reasoned well in
coming to the conclusion that Utah will
not be admitted to the union while Nor
monism is the controlling element of the
territory, and the sooner they all, in what
they think self-defense, leave for Mexico
or some other country, the better for
Utah and the nation.

THE ASSOCIATION OF DRUGGISTS.

North Texas has in the past few weeks
had several important conventions, but
possibly none more important than the
one this week in session in Dallas-the
pharmaceutical convention. As so fire.
quently urged by us upon the Twenty
first Legislature when we were contending
for Jaw which would throw around the
people and this profession greater secu-
rity and assurance, theirs is line of
business so intimately connected with the
peoples welfare as to entitle their acts to
careful consideration by all classes. They
have for several years, and through the
agency of specially ppointed committees,
been striving to have passed law
that would guarantee the propris-
tors of drug stores competent en-
ployes and would also protect the public
from the establishment of improperly
licensed drug stores or the employment of
unschooled clerks. At the last session of
the legislature, but just adjourned, the as
ISOLATION and its special committee were
successful in having a pharmacy bill
passed. This law, however, the associa-
ton now says is not what it has desired,
but the members are grateful for it a. a
long step in the right direction. The
spell has been broken that, to this time,
has held legislatures as to this subject in
active. With the ball once started rolling
it will be comparatively easy for the asso-
citation to keep it in motion until its full
purpose is accomplished. The new phar
macy bill can be found reproduced in full
in another column this morning.

This paper Is Democratic In principles

Freeholders,

Is it not silly for the Freeholders to
indulge in gasconnading about the ap-
preparations for the coming year?
The evident fraudulency of the claim
that they result in a saving of STA 600
to the county simply satisfies the pub
lie that the same old spirit of dis
honesty which brought so many mem
bers of the Board to the bar of justice
q few weeks ago is still the animating
principle of the Board.
The deceptive figure is obtained
by including in last years total a num-
Der Of special appropriations, whose
disappearance from this years budget
is indicative of no economy whatever.
Look at these figures $50, 600 for
Hall of Records, $50, 900 for permanent
improvements. $33, 500 for Commits
sioners of Land Records and $15, 900 for
anew lunatic asylum, making an ag-
gregate of $148, 500.
Take the boosted $114, 900 of reduc-
ton from that aggregate, and it will
at once appear that there is an in
crease of many thousands of dollars in
the estimates for running expenses.
Here are some of the places where
the increase goes
