TARIFF reform goes marching on. The
Haverhin (Mass.) Gazette says:
"Speaking from the standpoint of Re-
publican newspaper, the Gazette is con-
strained to believe that there is a we'll
planned and skillfully carried out plot to
ALLEVIATE thousands of Republicans from
the party by the idiotic provisions
of the new tariff schedule just reported
to the house by the ways and means COM
mittee. The industrial wants of New
England have been and are being per-
sistently ignored, and if this course be
longer pursued the party will have to
look for its majorities elsewhere. -

WASHINGTON atmosphere seems to IN
spIre newspaper men with disposition
TO make statements and dare the conse-
uuences. A Russian colonel visited the
Washington office of the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette and demanded a corree-
ton of the statement that he was spy
during the war. Gen. H. V. Boynton,
the correspondent, not only refused to
retraot, but so accelerated the Russian 5
exit down the stairway that the latter
was convinced that the general was not a
coward, and returned and apologised for
having said so.

CELEBRATED CASE.
Trial of James N. Drake for the Murder OF Pro-

Special to the Gazette.
HILLsBoRo, TEX. April TN the dis
trlct court of Hill county, Hon. ]. NJ.
Hall presiding, the case of the State of
Texas vs.. James NJ. Drake was called
this morning. The state, represented by
Pierce B Ward, district attorney, Col.
j. B. Scarborough of Waco and Hon. B
D. Tarlton of Hillsboro announced ready
for trial. The defense, represented by
Gen. George Clark and John L. Dyer,
Esq, and w. II. Leasing Of Waco, Of
fered a motion for continuance on the
ground of the absence of witness T. NJ,
Makelg, Esq, OF Waco. The motion
was overruled and the work of lmpanel-
ing a jury commenced.
This is q celebrated case. August 27,
1887, defendant, Drake, shot Professor
s. L. Quinn. Deceased was q tenant of
brakes, and was behind with his rent.
A personal encounter occurred three days
prior to the homicide, IN which Drake
got the worst of it. On the day Of the
homicide Quinn was proceeding to vacate
the premises and as the last load of fur
niture was leaving Drake appeared upon
the scene. His son, James, and his
nephew, Willie Renfro, were with him.
They testified that deceased threatened
Drake with Ratchet. A little daughter
Of the dead man. also an eyewitness,
crossed the statement of the two boys.
At the November term, 1887, of the dis
trict court of McLennan COUNTY; the case
was tried, and the jury gave a verdict of
murder in the, first degree and assessed
the penalty at death.
The court of appeals reversed and re-
manded the case chiefly because the in
itials of Professor s. L. Quinn were er-
roneously placed L. S.. in the indict-
ment. The court of appeals also held
that purported dying declaration of
Professor Quinn was wrongfully allowed
in testimony.
Change of venue was granted to Hill
county, and the case came TO trial here,
which resulted in a mistrial, eight being
in favor of the death penalty. At the
term prior to the present term the case
was continued by the defence on the
grounds of the absence of Willie Renfro,
a material witness.
The case exites absorbing interest here
and elsewhere. There is large number
of Waco 8 prominent citizens in attend
anoe on the trial. There being no less
than forty attached witnesses.

Special TO the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX. April THE Spring
Palace committee is doing good work in
the way of an exhibit for the Texas
Spring Palace from Denton county. A
storeroom has already been secured, and
work in earnest will commence in a few
days. There is no doubt that the exhibit
from this county will rank with the
best, as she raises products that
cannot be excelled by any county in the
state. In conversation with o. P. Poe,
one of the committee, to-day, he said to
the reporter: eyes, Denton county
has decided 10 send an exhibit to the
Texas Spring Palace, and have no hest
fancy in saying an exhibit that we may
feel proud of, for am mindful of the
fact that there is not county in all
Texas that has lands better adapted to
the raising of wheat, cotton, etc., than
Denton; in fact, the land is diversified,
and by this means we are enabled to
secure a fine display of the products
from our county. As for the committee
it is using every means possible to get
the things in readiness as soon as posi-
BILE. and have them in place at Fort
Worth in due time. This is enough to
have it understood that Denton will be
to the front with fine exhibit. - =

CELESTE, TEX. April News has
just reached here of shooting that oo-
Cured on the farm of Mr.. Joe Simmons,
about four miles from town on the night
of April s, which came near proving
fatal to a young man named Lem Patter-
son. It seems that young Mr.. Patterson
went to Mfr. simmons with the purpose
of spending the night, and arriving at
the place found there was no one at home
except the hired boy, Jim Sampson, q
young man about his age, and not think
ing of any arms being on the place, he
thought. he would play a joke on young
Sampssnihy making him think there were
robbers IN the yard. The joke was soon
turned when Sampson opened the door,
and seeing the bulk of man in the yard
opened fire at once with doublesbar-
relied shotgun loaded with, large sIUgs
which tookseffect in young Patterson'As
arm aud legs, making ugly flesh wounds.
His wounds are very painful. =.

REPORT NOT CONFIRMED
Declared Unconstitutional.

RICHMOND, VA. April Upon ap-
peal by Armour s. Co. of Chicago,
United States Judge Hughes has rem
dered decision declaring that the meat
inspection law passed by the legislature
to be contrary to the Federal constitu-
ton. The dioision is elaborate, and
takes the ground that inspection is not
meant as sanatory measure, but as
state revenue measure, the tax OF one
cent per pound Is outrageous, and that
meat slaughtered within 120 miles of the
place of delivery could be sold under the
law in an unsound condition.

No man lives so completely to the gen.
erations that come after him, as in his
letters. Biographers can only give their
impressions, but the private letters of
man are his written thoughts on the
men, his time and of the measures that
were then popular. For this reason the
burning of the former home of Horace
Greeley at Chappaqua, and the oonse-
quent loss of all his written memorials
was destructive in the extreme. The
stirring times in which Horace Greeley
lived, and the prominent place he oeeh-
pied, together with the rare opportuni-
ties his position in the newspaper world
afforded him. made his correspondence
of inestimable value and its loss irrspar-
able.

BEHIND THE FIGURES.
Misleading Report on '"wages of W omen,
g Because it Refers to Skilie Labor.
copyrighted, 1901

Copyrighted, 1901
For the Gazette.
In the invaluable report sent out within
labor bureau on "Working Women in
Large Cities,'' the weekly average of
wages is gwen for the twenty three cities
in which investigations were made. The
casual reader may find these misleading,
as the figures represent the wages of
skilled labor, and this only in
certain lines, the II ,427 women in
terviewed, and representing about
6 per cent. engaged in this
class of work having been chosen entire
ly from those who work in great CITY
manufactures upon light manual or me-
chanical labor, and in stores. This, as
will be at once seen, excludes the mass
Of women at work in factories las well as
the even greater number working in ten
ement houses on shop work of every OF
der. An impression seems to have gained
ground that the figures given are the
first accurate statement of what women
are really earning, and that they repre-
sent the average for all. No greater
mistake could be made. The report of
the labor commissioner for New York,
lSSuou 1901 SuOhSO tAdb
were earning wage of but
fifty cents for day OF from four
teen to fifteen hours. Later, came
proof of still lower rates. Miss Hunting
don, the daughter of Bishop Huntingdon
OF New York, and the head of large
charitable institution for women in
Syracuse, was visited by the agent of one
of the largest manufacturers of ladies
underwear IN New York, who wished to
arrange for the regular sending OF work
to the inmates of the home, on the plea
that it was impossible to find enough
needle women in the city. >
The story of the Investigation set on
foot by Miss Huntingdon is toe long to
give here. But 1t was demonstrated,
first from the admission OF the firm, and
then. from the testimony OF the women
themselves as well as those who had an-
dertaken to examine auto the
facts, that hundreds were working
for twenty five cents day and furnish
ing their own thread. Twenty-Five
cents dozen was offered for the making
of infants slips. Expert testimony
proved that with sewing machines run by
foot power, one an hour could be made,
twelve hour labor being required to earn
the twenty five cents, minus the cotton.
The bearings of this will be given at an
other time, the present object beng

that the $500 600 is on the other side of
