President Harrison was in Office year
and nearly two months without sending
to congress veto message. His first
veto was in the interest of economy, it
being stamped upon bill congress had
passed authorizing Ogden, Utah, to run

It is said that an English syndicate
has bought a thousand acres of phos-
phate lands in Marion county, Florida.
There is always place to draw the line,
and here it is. When it comes to actual
ownership of land in this republic by
subjects Of monarchical governments it
ought not to be permitted to any extent.
A United States law to this effect, strict
ly enforced, would only be such pro-
tective measure as other nations have
already adopted.

THE MIGHTY FALLEN.

FlourishIng Gambler O. Years Ago Now Sot
on the Str cts Of New York.
Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, March IA score of years
ago one of the biggest gamblers in the
city, and in the country, for that mat
ter, was James Colway. The story of
his life is not without its parallel, but it
is interesting inasmuch as it has a moral
of its own and Is a confirmation of the
old saying that I'm got, i'll gone' and
'Money illegally obtained has wings and
flies away
Twenty years ago the bailiwick of all
gamblers in this city was in Ann, Beck
man, Nassau and Fulton streets, Park
Row, Chatham street and Lower Broad
way. They did thriving business, for
it was just after the war and the speedy
resumption of business had its material
effect on gambling. The bright, particu-
lar star of this little COLONY of sharps was
james Coiway, the Pat Sheedy OF his
time. Colway lived in grand style. He
had his costly home; his richly furnished
room at q down town hotel. He paraded
the sunny side of Broadway in the after
noon, dressed in style, and smoked costly
cigars. Diamonds glittered in mir shirt
front and on his fingers, and his manners
had q peculiar charm about them that
won him hundreds of friends.
At the old Long Island trottiug
course he was a conspicuous figure,
But il was in the lair of the tiger that
Colway was seen at his best When
feeding the rapacIouS NAV of the luxuri-
ant beast was he the synonym of suavity
and gentlsness. His voice was mild,
but with a mellow ring that charmed
men so they poured the contents OF their
pockets on his table. Success followed
HIM and his tiger devoured thousands of
substantial business men. Money poured
into his Golfers until he was worth nearly
81 200, 600. That was James ColwnY of
1866 TO 1870
To-day James Colway is wretched
drunkard His fame was not sudden. il
was as gradual as slow poison. He began
to elbow in the doors of prosperity mostly
for good fellowship reasons, and in d few
years the appetite had mastered him.
He was an educated man and he fought
his enemy determinedlY. but collapsed in
the end. His money dwiIIdled away
from him, his frien is forsook
him, he became nervous and
irritable. He lost cunning with his
hand with which be was won't to manipu-

PUBLIC ROADS.

The object of good country
roads is attracting more attention
throughout the state than almost
any other question now before the
people. Good roads have always in the
past been mark OF a high order OF
civilization, and there can be no more
onerous tax on the farming class than bad
roads, as no other class suffers as much
as the farmers from this. With bad
roads the farmer cannot haul more
than half Of his produce to market that
he can on good road, besides, it takes
3 third longer. The public roads IN this
county were never worse than at pres
ent. 1t is almost q matter of impossi-
Dility to haul half load over the roads,
and from some portions of the county one
can hardly come to the county seat in a
vehicle. The majority of the overseers
have worked the five days, allowed by
law, and very little good was accom-
plished. Besides :ha mud, the roads are
full of chug holes and in driving, the
wheels will drop in one of these holes
almost up to the aXle-to the great dan
ger of the wheel.
This thing ought TO be renedIed, but
how this is TO be done is hard matter TO
decide. We, however, thiuE that the
sentiment that is aroused throughout the
slate will compel the next legislature 10
pass a Law that viii insure better roads
than We ROW have, and that the people
viii demand a change i'll the present road
law.
We will take as q fair example the
pub ic roads OF this county. From all
accounts. the roads all over the state
are about IN the same condition as they
are in our county. The full amount of
tax allowed by lew for road and bridge
purposes has Oeen levied, collected aud
exhausted. and the roads are almost i'm
tz;ssabie. We need relief. The farmers

Roads Again.

There is much beng said and written
on the subject of good county dirt roads.
This is au important subject of discussion
because so intimately connected with the
welfare of both town and county. The
great burden of the articles which ap-
pear IN the public prints almost every
week are calling for the remodeling of
the present laws, or the enactment of
new ones, or in long price spun theories
as to the most successful method by
which good roads may be established and
maintained. But we have more of these
theorists treating of the establishment
of good roads under the present
law. Any law upon the statute
is of no value or efficiency unless
put in motion. 1t is like an engine
without steam, as valueless as anything
can be, nothing more than waste paper
and its efficiency or inefficiency never
will be developed without the motive
power puts the machine in operation.
Kaufman county under the present law
IS securing bridges over her streams.
She has made this advance movement
eminently successful by judicious man
agement. We undertake to say that the
force at command under the present law
judiciously and industriously managed
would put and keep every road IN the
0 unity in good condition.
Many are tine people who remember
the road from Terrell to King IS creek, in
The direction OF kaufman, which was
every spell of wet weather impossible al
most to equestriaus. More than a year
ago Senator J. o. Terrell asked to be
appointed Overseer of this particular
piece of road, fully the equal of the
worst in the county. He at once, though
not subject to road duty in that precinct,
made use of the means at command, and
there never has been q time since when
that piece of road was not in a far, rea-
sonably good condition. The force and
time is ample - put all public roads in
reasonably good shape.
We demand OF the overseers of roads
and their hands that they attend to this
matter as they would their own private
business, and let the people see if prac-
tice won t excel fne-spUn theories. If
they won t do their duty, then we COM
mend them to the tender mercies OF the
county officials, and if these dom t do
their duty-welI, we had liked to have
said we would recommend them to the
care of Jim Hogg, hut then he's got his
hands fun of certificates issued TO rail-
roads for sidings = Terrell Register.

A Notorious Dep r,do of the Wesley Barnett
Gang Run Down.
Special to the Gazette.
Fort SMITH, ARK, March deputy United
States Marshal Wilson arrived here to-day
from the Creek Nation with Gibson Partridge,
the last of the notorious Wesley Barnett gang.
He is charged with murder and assault with in
tent to kill and horse stealing. The officer lost
his track on the 23d and followed him until last
Sunday morning. when he brought the desperate
to bay at the cabin OF Old Ca ear, Greek medi-
cine man the Verdi Girls river. Wilson and
posse surrounded the cabin and demanded his
surrender. but he declined. They then told the
woman and child en- to get out of the house,
which they did at once, leaving Partridge In
possession. After parl ying for some time the
officers fired the cabin, and just before the roof
fell in the desperate came out and threw down
his arms. Partridge is one OF the worst Grim
inas ever brought to this court. He
is Greek Indian and has been
tried for murder three different times in his own
nation, time for the killing OF his own
father. The murder for which he is wanted
here, was for the killing of old man Drake at
Tulsa about two years ago. Wesley Barnett was
implicated in the same murder. When captured,
Partridge had been riding horse that he stole
from man named Hill at Tulsa.

Tupt the average farmer and business

but even a few of them would be better
than contiscation by taxation. Nor can
the public road question be put off much
longer-they have become pressing
necessity (more to the farmer than any
one else ) and some means must be de-
vised to supply them. The Farmer is
mistaken in assuming that the towns and
cities would be benefited the most by
good roads. In this county it would in
crease the value of farming lands 100 per

INEFFICIENT RoAp WORRYING.

In passing over the roads find many
of the overseers deficient as to the most
efficient means of road working. The
most of our roads are newly laid out,
having but little or no work expended
beyond the removing Of timber and
brush, and in many places not even
that, much of the lands that our roads
run over being waxy, hogwallow land
that holds wafer after rain. Wherever
there Is much travel they soon become
impossible From observation il seems
that the most important work would be
to work plows, scTapeTs and shovels III
ditching. In many places the worst hog
holes, extending nearly across the line,
could be well drained by the
work of plows and scrapers in
single day with one or
two teams. Where roads are
fiat overseers would do we'll TO pass over
their roads after Il heavy fall of rain. BY
observation they would see the best OPP
portunity OF draining and make note of
it for work in summer, and ditching to
the best advantages. I find much COM
plant from oVeTseeTs that many of the
good citizens who have good teams
neglect or refuse to FURNISH teams Tor
road work, which seems very inconsistent
when we see the same man driving his
team through the deep mud and water to
market with but half load. Yet he
