Just and more generous. 1t knows how
to shut its eyes as well as to keep them
open. I doubt if in our time another
public man meet the fate of poor Riddle
berger. That senator was anything but
q drunkard. He was simply drinking
man who occasionally lost his head.
When intoxicated he was ugly and will
full. There are dozen men in congress
today who have the same fault, but the
press deals forbearingly with them. Had
il been more lenient with Riddleberger
he might have met more happy fate.
But he was picturesque. The press seized
upon his first escapade, painted ii in
lurid colors, gave him reputation which
at that time he did not deserve, and he
fell under the weight Of obloquy thus
thrust upon him. Being given the name
he went in for the game and finally died
of chagrin and broken heart.
Newspaper men at Washington, as
elsewhere, must keep condolences. This
is one of the unwritten laws which is
well understood and almost universally
respected. Public men are not afraid
to trust the writers. For instance,
called one recent evening on the speaker
OF the house. Conversation arose Incl
dentally about some public men and
measures, and the speaker talked very
frankly, as u his wont. He criticised
men of his own party in his characteris-
tic savage fashion and without reserve.
He made no request that this converse
tion be considered a private one-he in
stinctively knew that it was private and
would not be printed or repeated.
could have created mild sort Of sensa-
tion by reporting what the speaker said,
but Of course did not. This brings US

THE TORIES a FAIL uRE.

So far as useful and needed legislation
is concerned, the session of the English
parliament just ended was dismal fail
ure. The principal government meas
ures, to-wit: the Irish land purchase
bill, the tithes bill and the publican CON-
pensation bill, all encountered such a
strong adverse sentiment among the
masses that to save the cabinet from be-
ing wrecked the government party
was forced to withdraw them, one by
one, and trust TO a do-nothing policy to
retain a working majority in the
house of commons. 1t was
rather humiliatiug come down for the
naughty and unbending Tory premier,
Salisbury, but there was no help for it.
At one time he was within an ace of be-
| ing beaten, nothing saving him but the
absence of half-dozen Parnellites at the
Ascot races At other critical junctures,
the Tory majority in the house had
dwindled until the margin became uu-
comfortably small. To save even that,
it became necessary to get rid of
the three principal measures mentioned
above, each of which found DIRECTORS in
the Tory ranks and bring the session to
| close with grand hurrah over the ac-
QUESTION of a large territory IN Africa.
This latter coup was worked for
| all it was worth, and the latent spirit
of conquest hereditary in every
Englishmeu was appealed to in order to
| excite enthusiasm, and strengthen the
party that had brought more new terri
tory under the civilizing and
Outstanding influence of British arms
and British rum.
OF all other achievements worthy of
mention, the session was barren. The
Tories under Salisbury were unable to
cope with the situation, when the
opposition was lead by much stronger
and ADLER men. Gladstone, Parnell,
Harcourt, Morley and few others O.
! unusual ability as parliame ntary
| fighters. On the Tory side
| there was but one effective
ready debater, Baltour, chief secretary
for Ireland who did quite well, but was
| no match at all for Gladstone. The
Tory leader Smith was unfit for the
place, too heavy, and unable to infuse
any life into his own followers.

HARRISON IS TOLD TO DROP THE
FORCE BILL.

Discussing the Federal election bill I,
the Globe Democrat with unusual can
dor, and in the most pointed menue-
tells the Republicans that it must be
dropped. 1.-THE eXigencies of the situa-
ton demand it, - says the Globe, "and to
persist further in the effort to pass it,
would be O grave blunder for which not
q particle of justification or excuse could
pie of the bill as just and correct, but
claims that it is iuexpedient, which is no
more than saying that it is freighted with
wreck and rum to the party.
Elsewhere the Globe incautiously ad-
mits as much by averring that an
injudicious effort to pass it would jeop-
ardize the tariff bill, a result that would
end in Overwhelming and deserved de-
feat at the polls in the coming congress
sional elections.
Although the Globe was as clamorous
as Hoar himself a few weeks ago for the
passage of the bill, it has learned enough
to convince il of the folly aud danger of
it, lesson which it is now trying T.
hammer into Harrison's Uranium. The
fact that he favors the bill is. admitted,
and the hope expressed that he will
Soon think differently about it.
Maybe he will, and maybe he
won't. That depends on whether
the idea of expediency can be
made sharp enough to penetrate the in
durated covering OF his mental
machinery, or not.
The danger apprehended from it by the
Globe is two-fold. 1t would "iniure the
class whom it is designed TO benefit, and
while weakening the party in the North,
would not strengthen 1t IN the slightest
degree in the South. - The first named
reason is enough, as anybody can see.
That is the plea made long ago by the
Democrats, namely, that it would injure
instead of benefting the negroes. The
idea was combatted and pooh-poohed,
but now Is made lead
ing argument by the Globe, which,
seeking to secure lodgment for it in
DR.. Harrison's brain pan, attempts to
give it point and force by alleging inevi-
table and overwhelming defeat at the
polls, if 1t is not dropped, and dropped at
once.
This is pretty plain talk to the grand
son of his grandfather, but owing
to the obstinacy and mulishness of
the pragmatical president it has to
be plain TO be effective. Half
the effort would haye convinced Baby
Mckee long ago.

THE employment of Pinkerton thugs
and toughs, the offscourings of creation
to overawe the strikers and aid the Van
derbilts to man their roads has alienated
largely public sentiment from the COM
pany. No just cause needs the assist
ance of such vicious jackals. Ruf1ians,
thugs and toughs are not the proper in
strunents wherewith to uphold justice
and right. Their presence alone as de-
Tenders of the right are an insult to in
dustrious men, and can only end in in-
flaming and exaspering the people. The
Pinkerton business all around is an
abomination that ought to be suppressed.
Every state in the Union is fully able
through its own police system to main
tain law and order.

KILLED AT SAN ANTONIO.

Man Forbidden Another's House, But Pays
No Heed and is Killed for the Intrusion.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Aug. 19.-H. w
Kimble was shot and killed this evening
by Charles Baker. The tragedy occurred
in Bakers front yard, in southern
suburb of the city. Baker Immediately
surrendered himself and gave the facts
connected with the affair. As related
by Baker, they are as follows: Baker
has an adopted niece, Miss Greer, to
whom Klmble has been paying court for
some time, and Baker was opposed to
Kimble's attentions to the young lady
and forbade him the house. For this
Kimble threatened to kill Baker. He
called at the Baker house this evening
and was met in the front yard by Baker.
Hot words ensued and Baker shot the in
truder three times with a pistol. Baker
is about fifty years old and Kimble twen-
ty-l1ve. They came here together from
the lumber regions of East Texas two
months ago.

WILL SERVE as AN EXAMPLE
Before United States Commissioner for OBJ
structing an officer IN the Discharge
Of His Duty.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Aug. 19.-M. E. Col
lum was before United States Commits
sioner Lednum to-day on a charge of OBJ
structing an officer in the discharge of his
duty. After the hearing of evidence he
was held to await the action of the
United States grand jury, and his bond
was fixed at 5000. Columns case is a
novel if not remarkable one. The
facts are as follows:
Six weeks ago Deputy United States
Marshal John G. Waites went to the Ter
ritory with an attachment for Luke Mum
day, who was wanted as witness at
Wichita Falls in case before United
States Commissioner Hope in which q
man named Parbrough wa5 charged with
horse theft. Deputy Waite did nOtk now
Munday, and at Dexter, on this side of
the river, he called upon Constable Cof-
fee, who had an acquaintance with the
man wanted, and Coffee agreed to go
with him to the ranch, thirty miles in
the Territory, where Munday was stop
ping.
Waltes and Coffee were about the town
together that evening and Collum ascer-
tanned the mission of the officers and de-
termined to thwart them. He skipped
out of town, mounted his horse and rode
away in the direction of the ranch. The
officers took their time, and when they
arrived at the ranch were chagrined to
discover that Collum had arrived thirty
minutes in advance and Munday had
flown. Collum not only "got there'
on time, but he rode under great disad-
vantage. When within ten miles of the
ranch his horse stumbled and rolled over
on the rider, breaking three of Column
ribs. He remounted and never pulled
rein until he arrived at the ranch and
warned Munday that the officers were
coming.
II took the officers one month to locate
and capture Munday, who is now at
Wichita Falls awaiting trial. Columns
arrest was decided upon and made in or
der to make an example of the gang who
have been aiding and abetting criminals
and obstructing the deputy marshals II
the discharge of their duties.

THE young men of the state university
who some time ago preferred the charge
of plagiarism against Professor Talllchet
show good deal of earnestness in push
ing their complaint. In lengthy arti-
Gle in the Austin Statesman they review
the circumstances connected with the
case, and complain that the regents have
not exercised the diligence expected of
the nature of the complaint made. The
article aforesaid appears to be in the ma
ture of an appeal to the pubIic-to what
end is not quite clear, since the case is
one over which the regents have sole
Jurisdiction.

A BEAUTIFUL TEXAN EXHIBIT.
Three Cars of Products of the Soil Arrive for
Encampment Display.
Boston Advertiser,
Boston Advertiser.

One Of the most unique things in con-
nection with encampment week is the
exhibit of products from the states of
Kansas and Texas. A part of the lat
ter's showing now lies in the cars on the
tracks in the rear of Mechanics building
and attracts considerable attention, not
merely on account of the variety of stuff
displayed and the beauty of arrange
ment, but also from the fact that the
displayed car of the three which repre-
sents the state Is filled entirely from
products grown in the Llano Estaeado or
Staked Plains, place described in the
old Biographies as barren desert
A few of the most prominent citizens
of the state came together when it was
ANNOUNCED that the Grand Army en-
campment for 1890 would be held in
Boston, and concooted plan whereby
the resources of the Texas might be
made known to the residents OF the East.
They sent TO every place of note in the
state and obtained samples of the min
eral and agricultural wealth of their
district as well as liberal contributions OF
money to assist the enterprise. The rail-
roads then took q hand and furnished
fres transportation to the East, and two
of these Texas cars are ALREADY here with
q third one coming tomorrow.
Two of the cars are loaded with the
products packed in cases, but third,

ersl appropriation bills and conferen ce
reports thereon.
Grain of Texas inquired whether under
the order the river and harbor bill could
be considered.
Cannon replied that he thought not.
but that the bill could be called up FRI
day or Monday or during the morning
hour on the other days.
The order will not interfere in the
slightest degree with the river and harbor
bill. That measure could be called up
during the morning hour or on Friday or
Monday.
Mckinley of Ohio said that there was
no legislation demanded by the country
so universally as that comprised in the
pending resolution. In reporting this
order the committee on rules had but re-
sponded to the agricultural sentiment OF
the country, both North and South. He
intimated that the committee on rules
would map out the latter part of next
week, for the consideration of measures
reported by the com mittee on labor
The resolution was adopted and the
house accordingly proceeded TO the con-
sideration of the senate agricultural coll
lege bill.
J. D. Taylor of Ohio spoke in favor of
the proposed amendment providing that
appropriation shall be appropriated only
to instruction on agriculture, mechanic
art, English language and various
branches of mathematical, physical,
natural and economic science, With
special reference to their application in
the Industries of life and to facilities for
such instruction. After long debate the
amendment suggested by Mr.. Taylor
was agreed to, and the bill as amended
passed without division.
Adjourned.

THE EXHIBIT FROM TEXAS.
The Agricultural Products of the Lone Star
State on Display.
Boston Glnhe-

State on Display.
Boston Globe.
To the visiting Grand Army delegations
from Texas and Kansas we owe very
interesting and attractive feature of this
week entertainment, for besides thel-
with them a splendid exhibit of the re-
sources of their respective states, which
is open to the inspection of the public at
Horticultural hall.
without intending to draw any COM
parIson as to the relative value of these
two exhibits, that of Texas is especially
suggestive, since one is unavoidably re-
minded of the prospective wealth, popu-
lation and power of a state, which the
Lodge election bill declares in effect to be
incapable of supervising its own elections
and minding its own business politically.
Some idea of the future Texas may be
formed when it is stated that she has an
area of 252 ,514 square milss-equal to
about s Z per cent. of the entire area of
the United States and territories. Texas
is six times larger than New York, seven
times as large as Ohio, and 100 200
square miles larger than all the Eastern
and middle states, including Delaware
and Maryland. Compared with the
countries of Europe she has 81, 600
square miles more than the Austrian
empire, SO 200 more than the German
empire, and nearly 70 200 square miles
more than France.
The imperial dimensions of this state
are only equaled by the richness and
yastness. of her resources. The speci-
mems of Bessemer iron on exhibition at
Horticultural hall, together with other
exhibits of ores entering into the COM
position of Bessemer steel, fully justify
the protectionIst congressman of Penn
sylvania in their fears that if some of
these ores are not put on the free list
Texas will yet drive the Keystone state
out of the steel market. Hence, as we
have before shown, Texas and some of
her sister states in the South are yet
liable to drive Pennsylvania into the adj
vocacy of free raw material as measure
of self-defense.
With marvellous internal resources ana
with the population engaged in her chief
industrial centers increasing at the rate
of 800 per cent. year, what amazing
assurance must possess the advocates of
the Lodge force bill in proposing polit-
Ically to handouff such a mammoth state
in which are invested millions of North
ern capital. A century hence, when
this giant state comes TO have a popula-
ton as large as that of the United States
to-day, with what contempt will il look
back to 1890, when clique of pigmy
partisans, masquerading as statesmen,
attemp pied to swaddle it in an electoral
force bin?

will be accompanied by his mother-in-
