THE FORCE ELL.


During the week before the holidays
began, some of the Republican senators
succeeded in working themselves into a
high state Of fever over the force bill.
One of them went 90 far IN his feverish
raving as to declare that IL he could have
his way ebou: it, there would be ga
bayouet behind every ballot" in the
South. Now whether that be madness
or not, there is method in it. 1t has at
least the merit of consistency. II his
party Is sheol-bent IN doing the Samson
act, If nothing will restrain its head
long folly, and 1t must enter upon the
ioglorious and iuIquitous work OF revolu-
tionizing election, let it 20 about it Ia
the right manner; let It adopt the mos.
end-for it may be assured that no
others will succeed. II Harrison and the
rest of them are determined to place the
foot OF the negro upon the neck
OF the white Southerner. as a
Northern lady prayed they would
do, year or two ago, let
them adopt the means necessary to that
eng. Let them put bayonet behind
every ballot, suspend the writ OF habeas
corpus and declare martial law. VITA
the country in a state Of siege and the
army and these accessories at their back
they ought to succeed in their philau-
thropic purpose Of promoting African
civilization to the place Of honor in the
South. That is the way and the only
way In which the Caucasian can be sub
ordinated to the Senega mbian; in which
culture can be made the servant Of lg-
norancs. and brain the minister to
Drawn. If the patriots aud philanthro-
pists of the Harrison type are honest IN
their professions OF friendship for the
colored brother, and actuated by gen.
plne motives for his speedy advance
ment and political elevation, they will
adopt the drastic and thorough measures
barbarism cannot do for themselves, let
the military do for them as il did in re-
construction days. Either that, or in the
name OF common sense aud decenoy, OF
order and humanity, drop the matter
altogether. 1t Is fors-ordained that
either the white man or the negro must
rule Ia the South. II it must be the
negro, let the Republican party use the
power, and prepare TO maintain him In
til at power afterwards. A decent re-
gard for thu poor negro, who is asking
for no such honor, cares nothing about
It, aud IS wholly passive in the oonten-
ton, demands that no less be done for
his good. What is worth doing at all,
is worth doing well.

4 SHIP CAPTURED.
She was FLYING spanish Flag, and Was Cap.
tured Oh the West Coast OF Florida.
Awaiting Adm Iication.

NEW YORK. Dec. IS "A dispatch from
Key West, Fla. says the Angelica,
ship flying Spanish flag, has been cap
tursd off the west coast of Florida by the
United States revenue steamer McLane.
The Angelica has just been brouInt into
port by an armed prize crew under COM
mand Of Lieut.. 2. II. Cbrrroth OF the
McLane, and is now IN the hands OF the
United States authorities at Key West
The capture OF the Angelita wa, eff
fected in the vicinity Of Sandal Island
on the west coast OF Florida, the McLane
carrying the vessel by artne | boat crews.
The crew was armed with Springfield
rifles, cutiassss and revolvers. The ship
was full of SpGniards, but none aboard
showed any disposition to fight. The
Spanisrds gathered forward, srowling al
the American sal ors. Lieut.. Cberroth
walked aft and demanded of the Spanish
captain his papers, cnutioning his men
ut the same time to be ready with their
d bill of stores of provisions purchased
on the Florida coast. This
did not satisfy the boarding officer,
who at once directed part OF his
force to search the ship. No contraband
stuff was found, but the character of the
vessel spemed so certain that Lieut..
Ubeovth directed the Spanish captain TO
accompany him to the McLane. Aboard
the McLana Capt. Smvth convened
court of admiralty in the cabin. It was
decided 10 seize the Angelita and convey
her to the nearest American port. The
prize crew was sent aboard armed to the
teeth Just rs the MrLane's men were
running the Angelita . anchor apeak the
Spanish captain called on his men to
fight. He declared he would die before
allowing his ship to be carried of. The
Spauisrds were seized, placed in a small
boat and sent aboard the McLnne for
safe keeping. The crew OF the Angelita
were quietly admonished not to attempt
anything rash, on pain of death.
The Angelita now awaits adjudication,
and will in all probs hility be offered for
sale in the course of u few days. The
proceeds will go into the treasury OF the
United States.
The fact that the Angelica was unpro-
vided with a register is alone sufficient to
cause proceedings against her.

THE HARVESTER COMBINE

When the great reaper and mower
combine was formed several weeks ago
I, YVES given out with good deal OF
charming neivete that its main object
was to fight the Irvine trust In the inter
est of the farmer. Incidentally of
way-that 10, by curtailing expenses, it
would cheaper the price of its machines
to the farmer. For such noble and
phlenthropic purposes was this S35,
600 900 pool organized. Recen: devel-
opponents, however, appear to be in the
way of the charitable and unselfsh pur-
poses Of the great combine. Powerful
as it is, it appears to have struck snag.
Alack and alas for the plans Of men and
mice! The trouble seems to be this:
TINT the patents on many of the
reapers aud mowers in use for
years, are about to expire, and know
ing this, the farmers in several states,
under the auspices of the Alliance, are
organizing for the cruel and wicked pur-
pose of manufacturing reapsrs aud
mowers themselves, and thus interGer-
ing with the unselfish work of the grest
combine and defeating its chivalric pur-
poses. There ID but little doubt that the
audacity Of the farmers will goad the
combine into spirit of revenge, and
that II will strive in self defense to freeze
out their numerous small plants as fast
as they are established. It Is, some
how, the nature of the best tempered
and most unselfish of the trusts to do
this. In doing good for the public they
prefer to enjoy monopoly, to have no
equals, no competitors even.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

City Hospital.

Ereoial to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX. Dec. 28.-Several weeks
ago Johnnie Mobley. little son OF Mr..
J. r. Mobley was paved in the head by
a horse, sustaining fracture OF the skull
in two places. Five of Waoo's most
upon examination 1t was seen that part
of the skull would have to be re moved
from each wound. This was accordingly
done, and the ugly, gaping holes IN the
little ones bead were closed up artiH-
cially in the best manner possible. The
casa was watched in oil its phases.
When the doctors reached the patient at
the time of the accident brain tissue was
oozing out OF the wounds, and the
trepanninS process was resorted to to re-
move the pieces OF bone. The accident
occurred on Sunday, November 8. To-
day the little fellow is playing about sp-
pareutiy as well as ever, and frequently
accompanies his father about town. A
careful record OF the case has been kept
by DR.. j. c. J. King, the operating
physician, and he will report the case to
the journals as we'll as to the Central
Waco next mouth. Mr.. J. R. MobIey,
father of the boy, 10 convict contractor
OF present engaged in removing oonvicts
from the several counties to the peniten-
tiary. He is also prominent applicant
for the position OF state inspector of con-
victs under Governor Ho2g.
The question OF the establish ment Of q
city hospital has been settled at last.
The city council adopted u resolution two
weeks ago to accept the proposition of
the citizens hospital com nittee to turn
over to the city for $500, raised by
private subscription, conditioned only
that the city was not to approx pirate any
more money than had already been
agreed upon. which was 5000. This was
not understood at first, but al al adj
jourued meeting OF the council Friiay
night 1t was made plain AMI the hospital
will be built, the fund available being
$500. The city will maintain the iu-
stitution at public expense.
The races at the driving park were
concluded yesterday, with nothing of
special interest TO note. There were no
new entrees and the record of yesterday
stood unchanged.
