4 DUTY WE'LL DONE.

THE GAZETTE is not saying much about
the necessity for commission, nor Offer
ing any arguments In favor of 1t of late
simply because there is no necessity for
such. Weeks ago it became apparent
that the people of Texas were not only
satisfied it'll and convinced by the ar
guments offered in favor of q commits
sion, but were determined to choose
delegates who would go to San Antonio
instructed to stay until the commission
amendment was endorsed, and the man
nominated for governor whose name was
familiarly linked in the popular mind
with that controlling idea. For people
SO thoroughly imbued with an idea, so
firmly convinced of its wisdom and prac-
ticableness, and SO resolute in seeing IL
crystalized in law, arguments are need
less. They want none. They see their
way clearly before them and like an ar
row to its mark they are moving in solid
phalanx to the goal marked out for
them.
They have been denounced and yilifed
as wreckers Of property, as Scommun-
ists' bent on q course of destruction,
ruinatlou. spoliation and robbery
They have been held up to the scorn OF
mankind as "snarchists and dark
lanternites, and represented as an
ignorant, stolid and brutal herd capable
of the most destructive fury, and re-
solved on wreaking vengeance on an
imaginary foe. Nothing hiss been too
vile and contemplate, no epithet too
coarse, brutal and sweeping for the op-
position to use in describing and malign-
ing them. And to what purpose
What has been gained by this reckless
and indlscriminate abuse and vilifcatiou
of q sober, industrious and law abiding
class of people? Not one thing in this
world, unless the contempt of the people
for their vilihers be something. That
they have q contempt and a hearty con-
tempt, too, for them, is evinoed by the
cool, calm and resolute manner In which
they express their political convictions
and make known their wishes.
Goldsrnith's estimate OF ga noble peas
antry, their country's pride,'' is not
shared by the gentlemen OF the Combine,
who, or rather their organs, have sdver-
tised the Texas peasantry or farmers to
the world as contemplate and despised
class. so ignorant and besottsd as to

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The scene at the
assay office this morning was busy one.
In the corridors small, four-wheeled
platform, the trucks being dragged as
far as the street door laden down with
gold bars, each valued at $4,000, but of
small enough size and weight to be held
in one hand by the men, who were put
ting them in small, ragged and dirty
canvas bags and throwing them with the
utmost unconcern on the truck which
backed up to the door. There were
nearly 700 of these gold bars taken out,
and the total value of them was 81 ,000,-
900. All bars are put on board the
European steamers and in another week
they will be added to the horde of gold

A. I. STEWARDS HEIRS.
Five Heirs Bob Up and Claim Share of the
wealth-strong Grounds Presented-A
Bogus Will Claimed.
Special TO the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The controversy
over the will of the late A. T. Stewart
was revived again to-day, and ex-
Judge Henry Hilton and others who
were benefited by that document are in
for long legal battle for the millions
OF dollars which were left by the Million
aire. Five heirs of Stewards first
cousins and their descendants, who were
entirely neglected in the will. have put
in their claim for q just share of what
was left, and determined effort will be
made to break the will. The contesting
parties are James Garriok, George
Begly, Hugh McCaul, Sarah Brown
and Rosans Bigly. Application has
been made In the United
States circuit court for a commission TO
be sent q witness in Ireland. The COM
mission was ordered by Judge Lacombe
to be issued and interrogations will be set
tied on August Is before him. When
ex-Surrogate Calvin proceeded to the
home of A. T. Stewart after his death
and received the will, both Mrs. Stew art
and ex-Judge Hilton swore a. T. Stew
art had no kindred. The petition for
probate also recited Alexander I.
Stewart had no heirs. In spite OF this,
however, five have appeared on the
scene and, like Ba1quo's ghost, they
will not down. Tine heirs who
claim part in this late claim, cor
responded continuously with Stewart
and met Mrs. Stewart and ex-Judge
Hilton they assert when they visited
the Stewart kindred in Ireland on two
occasions. That A. T. Stewart held only
the tenderest recollections of them is
proved by letters of Stewart written in
1925 and 1928. These letters are attached
TO the proposition for the next of kin and
witnesses in Ireland, and to show and
identify the great Stewart as man who
played as a boy in Ireland. 1t is on
these grounds that the heirs presented
their claim for his estate, challenging
the authenticity of the will, and charging
that it is in the main bogus.

LARGE hall capable of seating 5000
people has been provided for the state
convention at San Antonio, and what Is
better still the delegates will be famed
by machinery. That is business. we
are glad to see the Alamo city rise equal
to the emergency in this particular, and
take it as an assurance that in every
other respect she will do herself proud in
entertaining the crowd of visitors that
will attend the sittings of the conven-
ton. And all in honor of Hogg and q
commission, TOO. Too bad, is it not,

PROF. ALEXANDER HOGG.

Late State Agent

LANCASTER, TEX, July 81, 1890.
To the Gazette.
Professor Alexander Hogg of Fort
Worth is known and appreciated in every
county of our state, and there is grow
ing disposition on the part of the people
to advance him to the position of super
intendent of public education. His name
will be before the Democratic state con-
vention, which ia to assemble at San An
tonic on the 18th of August next, and his
friends everywhere earnestly hope that
he may be nominated. He is unques-
tionably one of the best organizers and
one of the ripest scholars in the entire
South, and his labors in Texas through
long series of years Gntitle him to the
recognition of our Democratic conven-
ton. If the people of Texas should be
fortunate enough to secure the services
of Professor Hogg as their superintend-
ent of public instruction. his administra-
ton Will form an epoch in the educa-
tional history of the state, and our
school system will soon attain to a de-
gree of perfection hitherto undreamed
of by its warnest advocates. He is
man of strong native intellect, of the
most varied and extensive requirements,
of irreproaohable private character, and
full of enthusiasm in the cause of educa-
ton, and we earnestly call upon our
delegates elect throughout the state to
give his claims just and fair considera-
ton. P.

SERVES HIM RIGHT.

The notorious Dunlo case in London
has terminated in a verdict for the de-
PENDANT. This Dunlo scan mag is one Of
| frequent occurrence in merry Albion.
Viscount Dunlo is young BOBBY little
more than out of his teens, and a son Of
Lord Clancsrty. Soft as mush and pill
able as shoe string, he met and became
infatuated with Belle Billion, a concert
hall singer and actress, and the possessor
of fine figure, and considerable beauty.
Belle vas the daughter of an army off,
Ger, and inherited from her mother more
than her share of human frailty. This
fact she was candid enough to make
known to her mush-headed lover. No
matter, he would have her anyway. He
was lord, and that circumstance would
wash all her SINS away. So they skipped
by the light of the moon and were mar
rled fast and tight. He took her be-
cause he was a fool, and she welded
him because he was q lord. But soon
their dream of bliss was rudely inter-
rupted. News of the elopement got
out, and then the dell was to pay. Papa
roared, and mamma wept, and social
swelldom was shaken from center to cir
conference. By stratagem, the young
lothario was brought face to face with
his father, Lord Clancarty. who per-
suaded or coerced him into deserving his
wife and suing for divorce. He did
so, alleging divers acts of infidelity,
none of which he was able to prove. As
q result, he is still the husband of Belle
Billion. and to get rid of her, must pony
up good round sum. Serves him right,

AFTER LEVEE CUTTERS.
Indictments Against Those Who Cut the Doggy
Bayou Leyee in Arkansas.

Bayou Leyee In Arkansas.
ARKANSAS CITY, ARK, Aug. 1T
has been known for some time that the
grand jury of this county was investi-
eating the case Of the men who cut the
Doggy bayou levee fifteen miles above
here on the 9Th Of April. Yesterday
morning there was considerable sensa-
ton when that body brought into court
and filed twenty-four true bills. War
rants were at once issued, and while
none of them have been returned 1t is
understood these indictments are against
levee cutters. 1t will be remembered
the work was done III broad daylight by
citizens of Red Fork county, who be-
lieved that the levee across BoggY bayou
damned the water upon them and there
by augmented the damage of the Hood.
1t will be insisted by the defendants that
Doggy bayou is natural outlet, and
under the laws of the state it is no Of
Tense to cut a levee ACROSS a natural
outlet. They will be vigorously prose-
cuted. The offense is felony under the
laws of the state, punishable by long
term IN the penitentiary.

TEXAS INDEMNITY CLAIM.
Hon. ". H. Pope says There was no Stirring

Editor Gazette.
Only few days ago had to correct a
misstatement of an industrious reporter
for the Austin Statesman in reference to
my connection with the Texas indemnity
claim, and now have to do the same
for your Austin correspondent. In your
issue of the 29th, after publishing Gov
eruor Ross full and fair letter on this
subject, this correspondent Gays:
The fact of the whole matter is that
there was hardly any effort made to OBJ
tain the claim till Governor Ross stirred
up State Agent Pope. and then 1t was an
uphill business. Pope, however, drew
his salary regularly.
The fact is there IS not a single fact
stated in your correspondent IS little COM
ment. II there was any "stirring up"
done 1t was done by ex-Presdent Cleve-
land "stirring up' his secretary of war
after he had failed and about refused to
listen to my opportunities to examine
our claim, and this came about by my
making direct complaint to Mr.. Cleve-
land, which was endorsed by our sena-
tors and representatives. in congress, as
to the treatment the claim was receiving
at Mr.. Eudicott's hands. Both Govern
ors Ireland and Ross were active in their
efforts about the claim and frequently
wrote me to hurry up the testimony, but
neither of them ever intimated that
was neglectful of the states interests.
L never drew any salary from the state
and of the various amounts appropriated
for my expenses $500 is now in the state
treasury untouched by me, though
