will take q man of good deal of nerve
to stand up and take the responsibility
of running blue pencil through the pet
flowers of speech of congressman. What
a delightful chance for a row there would
be every day, for out of the whole num-
Der of members Of congress some one
would be looking for the head of the

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 5.-The re-
cent grand jury inquired closely into the
causes that led to the accident on the
Galveston Western railway on June 20
which resulted in the death of the Misses
Frary of San Angelo and the arrest OF
the engineer and street car driver for
criminal carelessness. In the case of
Mike Davis, the engineer in charge OF
the engine that evening, twenty wit
nesses were examined and their testi-
mony completely exonerated him from
all blame, and showed that he had his
engine under complete control and was
not running at an unusual rate
of speed, and that IL it
had not been for his promptness
in stopping the engine scarcely an oecu-
pant of the car would have escaped death
or injury. The grand jury, besides ex-
GENERATING Engineer Davis. eomplimented
him for his GOODNESS and decision by
which the lives of the other occupants of
the street car were saved.

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat makes
a strong plea for reduction of the tariff
rates fixed by the Mckinley tariff bill on
the ground that they give the manufact-
urer 'increased profits. but we
thought there were no increased profits,
or that, If there were, they went to the
factory operatives in increased wages and
not to the factory owners. Then, too,
If rates are reduced, what is to become
of that thrice hallowed institution, tbs
home market, whose very life and being
depends on a protective tariff?
