of Texas Will not let alone the people Of
Texas and their industries, it is time the
people of Texas, organized as state,
should step in and protect the Texas in

is deal of interest Just now in the indi-

in him and little more in the individual

Paternalism is scarecrow. The peo-
pie are too stupid to note the difference
between q railroad and bank or turn

fine for popular distinction. a railroad
commission has not enslaved the people
of other states, and it will not enslave

is H0GG HONEST?

His Political Integrity Called Into Question.
Editor Gazette.
In your columns on the 10th inst. you
say:
Whatever else Jas. s. Hogg may or
may not be, he is an honest man.
do not presume any one would for q
moment question Mr.. Hogg's personal
integrity. But ones personal integrity
and political integrity are as distinct as
the antipodes.
The voters Of Texas should see to it that
a man vino is elevated to the honorable
position of governor of Texas is above
reproaoh in every sense of the word.
In this connection l would like to pro-
pound few inquiries:
/. Do you think Mr.. Hogg was acting
honestly with the people of Texas when
he stated in his address at Tyler that the
bonded indebtedness of the railroads of
Texas was S433, 200 900, when in fact it
is some S2e9 1000 1000 less than this sum?
2. DO you think Mr.. Hogg was honest
with the people when, in the same
speech. he said the International rail-
way was sold for 81, 900, 900, and the
purchasers took 1t free from all incumb-
brance and afterwards bonded it for
SIS, 900, 600, which was issued without
value, when the facts are that the pur-
chasers took the road subject to a funded
indebtedness Of $40 $3.50 900, besides re-
ceivers' certificates and other outstand-
ing liza bilities?
8. Do you think Mr.. Hogg was honest
when he said that the Texas s. Pacific
railway had increased its bonded indebt-
ness between 1886 and 1889, from Sl3,-
600 600 to $40, 900, 600, for which there
was not single additional mile OF road
constructed, when he knew that in that
time the road had been reconstructed
from New Orleans to Ell Paso?
4. Do you think Mr.. Hogg honest when
he states that 60 per cent. of the gross
earnings of a road is sufficient for its
operating expenses, when there are many
miles of road in Texas on which the en-
tire earnings are not sufficient to meet
operating expenses.
g.. Do you think it honest in MIR. Hogg
to tell the people about discrimination on
the part of the railroads, when the law
of the state and his oath of office sppcifi--
eally require him to institute suits for
and in no single instance
has such a suit been brought2
6. Do you think it honest in Mr.. Hogg
to n1islead the people on these questions
for the sake of arousing prejudices in
order that he might ride into office?
Z. If you answer that you believe Mr..
Hogg was honest in these expressions,
what is your opinion regarding his in-
telligence? B. b. PADDOCK.

certainly feel anything but pleased TO
learn that the cars cannot move because
their wires have been cut by order of the
city, to please one individual moving q
house. OF course it is not for moment
considered that the several hundred
thousands of dollars invested in electrical
street car lines in this city have any
rights that certain aldermen are bound
to respect. but the hardship that will be
imposed on the thousands who have pur-
chased suburban homes expecting the
regular street car service to take them TO
and fro from their business when the
wires are cut and not car moved. The
question is not can the street car comps-
MES stand it, but will the people submit
to this gross imposition on their rights.

PARIS, TEX, June %. - Mack Erwin,
q young man raised in Red River county :,
recently went into the Nation, where he
engaged in running wild horses. Last
week he was brought here by a deputy
marshal on a charge preferred by several
Choctaws of horse theft. The matter
was Investigated by Commissioner Lee
and the grand jury, and as there was no
evidence to support the charge Erwin
was discharged and left on the Frisco

the train at Davenport, flag station on
the west bank of the kiomatia river.
Next morning his horse was at home
riderlsss and his friends started to
search for him. His body was
found on the road just east of Kiomatla,
riddled with Winchester bullets. He
had been shot from the bush. Officers
left here this evening with warrants for
five people, who are believed to be con-
cerued in the killing, and who were most
active in pushing the last prosecution
against Erwin.

Cured on our streets in which Lee Ditto,
a young married man, lost his life at the
hands of his brother-in-law, Claiborne
Brinson, the seventeen-Year- oil son Of
Capt. NJ. j. Brinson. The dece ased was
son of Mr.. Il. B. Ditto
a merchant of this place and a member
of the firm of Brinson & Ditto. The
fathers of the young men in tho difficulty
are mixed up in the affair, but to what
extent Is hard to ascertain at present.
About one year ago Lee Ditto married a
daughter of Capt. Brinson, since which
time, 1t is said, hard feelings have ex-
isted at various times between the mem
bers of the two families. Hard words
passed between the two fathers to-day and
were taken up later by the sons. Several
shots were fred on both sides, two of
which, 1t is said, were fired by Lee Ditto
after he was down. The weapon used
by young Brinson in the killing of Ditto
was a shotgun. The shooting took place
inside and in front of the stores of James
Ditto and J. P. Rose. Young Brinson
is now in the custody of Marshal Carter.

NATURAL BUT DEPLoRABLE.

QUANAH, TEX June 1.-THE following reso-
luton was read and unanimously adopted in
the county convention June 81:
Whereas, the Capitol Syndicate" have at
tempted to blacken the good name of James s.
Hogg, an honest, patriotic and fearless officer
OF the state or Texas, and now the choice of the
people of Texas or governor, and
Whereas, we have an abiding confidence in
the honesty and integrity of Attorney General
Hogg, and believe the statements made by the
Capitol Syndicate to be malicious and false and
intended to injure an officer that their wealth
could not buy; nor could they influence or in
tmiuate him to step aside from his duty as an
officer of our great state; therefore be it
Resolved, /. That we, the Democracy of
Hardeman county, in convention assembled, do
denounce all such statements made against Gen.
Hogg, seeking to defame his character
officer, to be false and malicious.
2 That we hereby express our unqualified
confidence in the honesty, patriotism and integ-
rity OF James S. Hogg, and we believe that
from an honest and faithful discharge Of every
duty in the various offices that he has held that
he has proven himself to be suitable person
for the highest office within the gift of the peo-
pie of Texas.
B. That the delegates from this .county to the
state convention, which meets at San Antonio
on August II, $780, be instructed to cast the vote

state of Texas, and to take with them their
winter clothes and, if necessary. stay until No.

Abner Taylor, but citizens of Texas who
are supporting other candidates for gov
ernor, went to Chicago and solicited this
interview with Col. Taylor. Perhaps,
as THE GAZETTE has said before,
had no Texas official or
citizen or newspaper ever at
tempted to blackmail the Capitol Svndi-
cate, its members would not have been
so suspicious of those who sought TO
negotiate sales of land to them. Let it
be remembered to Col. Taylor's credit
that despite his suspicious he maintained
silence for years on the subject and IN
til TEXANS themselves for selfish purposes Of
their o'on dragged the secret suspicious from
him to the disgrace Of 7eras and its people.
The very fact drought out by this at
fair) that Col. Taylor had been taught
suspicion is a discredit to Texas, and
disgrace there is and shame. Shame
and disgrace for Hogg, had he been
proven guilty-shame and disgrace for
Texas, that any man in it could seek to
ruin another for political effect.

arrived in the city this morning two
Comanehe chiefs from the reservation
near Fort Reno, 1. L. who are not only
on peculiar errand but have histories
which are interesting. They are Bark
On-A Tree and Little Chief. These
Indians are two of the gang which went
with the Kiowa chief Santana on the
last raid through Kansas several years
ago. They, with the others of that raid ),
were captured, and after serving q term
in prison were placed on the reservation
near the fort. They have never before
been permitted to go off of the reserva-
ton. Their mission il To the Sioux
tribe at the Pine Ridge agency, where
they will join with delegates from all
the other tribes OF that great
nation and go to the Black Hills, there
to seek out the Indian messiah, a great
medicine chief, who is apparently a
mythical parsonage that is expected to
restore the Indian to his former great
ness and do away with the white race
entirely. When told that this matter
had bee investigated some time ago
and Sioux had sent a runner to the Pa
cltc coast for the purpose of meeting his
Messiah, old Bark On Aco-Tree said,
contemporary, ''white man heap lie. -
On being questioned closely he said that
the messiah lived in the Black Hills and
could only be seen under great difficulty.
He must be approached with care and
with certain ceremonies which were
taught to the old chiefs long ago. They
have three weeks leave of absence and
will go directly to the Pine Ridge agency,
and from there to the home of the mys-
FERROUS parsonage who is to deliver them.
