THE existing convict system of
Texas is disgrace to civilization and
treason against humanity; and should
be wiped out. The state is bound to
see, that convicts are treated with
humanity, are fed plentifully, COM
Portable clothed, and are not made
to perform work detrimental to their
health, and it cannot absolve itself
from this duty. Hiring out the con-
victs is wholly wrong, and must be
stopped, and the sooner it is stopped
the better for the good name ofTexas.

THE republicans of Bexar county
should unite cordially, and, by stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, achieve a
brilliant victory in November. Con-
ciliation and mutual concession will
bring about this cordial union of the
party and every real republican
ought to seek to heal the breach.

THE withholding of cotton from
market by the Farmers Alliance,
with the view of raising the price,
may not realize the hopes of the
farmers, still, it is an allowable

Another Case OF the spider and the
Ely

Dwight E. Newton applied 10 the cir
cut court yesterday for an injunction
to restrain Charles Bateman from fore
closing chattel mortgage on
sono household goods which
mortgage Newton claims that
be has already Oycrpa.d. The
mortgage was made 20 secure Il loan of
81 August y, 1856. 10 ". kronkite,
VINO sold the mortgage 10 Bateman
July /, 1887. He paid kronkite sl5 on
the mortgage, and when II was trans
tered TO Charles Bateman, the Sl0 that
Mr. Newton paid on the mortgage WAS
figured IN IS interest and Bateman
would give him no credit on the prin-
cIpal whatever. In other words Bate
man charged him Sl0 interest
on Sal for less than q year.
Bateman compelled Mr.. Newton 10 pay
the $50 per month as interest from
tine time he bought the mortgage from
krOnklte. Newton was Obliged to pay
tins exhorbitant interest IN order to re-
tam his household goods, as he had no
money To pay the principal, and a the
complaint reads. these payments were
obtained by cOercicn OF Bateman
threatening tlat IL ne Ialled IN any Oh
these payments. he would foreclose the
mortgage
IN 1887 Mr.. Newton borrowed five
dollars from Bateman and he de-
manded that Newton should raise the
monthly payments to two dollars for
tile use OF the fOrty-sx dollars while
he had already paid Bateman more
than the principal.
April II, 1883, Bateman demanded
new mortgage, and notes for $4l, the
original amount, and that Mr. Newton
should continue 10 pay the shark inter-
est OF - per month, threatening as be-
fore to sell him out if he did not COM
ply. Newton had already paid Bate
man SO. but as he had no ready money
to pay the principal. ne was forced TO
pay the enormous interest of 81 per
month on SIC, and consent to the lssu-
ance of q new mortgage.
The plaintiff further shows that he
gave Bateman notice that the mortgage
had been paid IN full, and asked him 10
have it discharged. Bat Bateman ST.
fenced him by MS usual threats of fore
closing. The injunction was granted
ty the court.
