CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
A Fourteen-Year-OId Girl Defends Herself

Special to the Gazette.

BRENNAN, WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEX,
Oct. 20-This morning Joe Hall was ar
rested and incarcerated in the Austin
county jail, charged with an attempt at one
of the most heinous offenses known to the
history of crimes, which he made Sunday
night.
Sunday last Mr. Wilmington, white
with two of his children to go to Chapel
Hill, leaving "A seven-yearold boy and a
fourteen-year-oid girl at home. He did not
return during the night. Some time be-
tween midnight and day the girl heard
some one ut her room door, and
was awakened just in time to see negro
man had entered. She leaped from
her bed, screamed and called for
father as the negro grabbed her
pretending he WIS at home, hoping TO
brighten the brute away, which she did, at
the same time rushing toward Il trunk for
4 pistol. The negro was taken by surprise
and retreated to the next room 20 see if the
time to get back he was look
ing down the barrel of 4 six

him to send Sheriff Glenn and make

Sheriff Glenn went up and worked faith

he could prove he was at a negro bail at

cially condemned the sub-treasury, it
follows that the, Ocala Democrats are
already arrayed against the regular
Democrats of Texas.

So long as Texas sends to other
states all the money it receives in pay
ment of its agricultural products for
clothing, implements and bacon, just so
long will Texas be poor and complain
of scarce money. A state that manu-
features its cotton, its wool, its iron and
its meats can keep its own money at
home and get that of less fortunate peo-
pie. But manufacturing enterprises
must be located in towns with surplus
population and distributing facilities.
Every farmer and miner and livestock
raiser in Texas is directly interested
in the growth of Texas towns and in
the accumulation of capital in the
towns for factory building. The peo-
pie of the farm who fight the growth
Of towns simply fight themselves. The

THE NEGROES IN REVOLT.

The colored Republicans of Philadel-
phia have formed several strong Pat
tison clubs. They say they are tired
OF voting the Republican ticket merely
because the Republican party claims to
have freed them from slavery. Hence
forth they will exercise their Judgment
in voting for candidates. In New
York, too, where the colored voting
population is not inconsiderable, there
are strong signs OF unrest among them,
and tendency to rebel against being
used as chattels for the Use of the Re-
publican party. Should any large part
OF them desert the Republican fortunes
they will assure the success of the Dem
ocrats in that state.
These actions are significant. Com
ing from such source, they show that
the colored voter has passed that stage
in which he was content to accept as
gospel whatever was presented to him,
bearing the Republican label, and has
arrived at that point where he gives
his political support to such measures
and candidates as commend themselves
to his intelligence.
With the growing intelligence of the
race the negroes rebel at the DISPOSE
ton of the leaders OF the Republican
party to deprive them OF all share in
the political honors which such leaders
have enjoyed for the space of nearly a
generation by the grace of the colored
voter alone.
The colored voter is tired OF being
simply newer of wood and drawer
of water in a household which but for
him would have no existence. He be-
gins to realize at last the hypocrisy OF
the pretended love borne for him by
the Republican party. AS he con-
tinues to progress in political knowl-
edge he will also lnevita bly, learn that
the party which has heretofore claimed
his allegiance as matter of gratitude
is entitled to nothing of the kind that
it has during all the years of his citi-
zenship simply used him as catspaw
to pull its chestnuts from the fire, and
that its object in comforting upon him
the suffrage was to perpetuate its lease
of power.
And it is matter for generalization
that this should be so, that the colored
voter is beginning to see that his in
terests differ in no wise from those of
his white brother. and that the sole

A QUESTION has come up in the
Pennsylvania courts that shows how
exact are the requirements of the law,
and how impossible it is, sometimes, to
meet those requirements. At the time
of the Johnstown flood Mrs. Hoffman
and her children were all drowned. A
few days before the happening OF that
disaster, Mr.. Hoffman had died, leay-
ing his estate to his wife. Now if, in
the drowning of the whole family, it
can be established that Mrs. Hoffman
was the last to surrender to the waters,
her collateral heirs will take all of the
property: but if it can be shown that
any one of the seven children survived
her, for even so much as second, the
estate would descend to that one, and
through him to the collateral heirs of
Mr.. Holman. 1t does not seem posi-
bic for any kind of proof to be brought
forward to show which died first, as all
OF them were dead when they were
found. As the estate is a very valuable
one there will be a legal struggle for
it, and while the question Of survivor
ship may never be decided. it will not
be very long before an owner will he
found for the property. II will be the

record that commission" states for
the past years did more railroad build

the alien land law is wiped from the
statute books and capital is invited to
Texas, the Chronicle will find that the
commission will promote rather than
obstruct railroad building.

THE political question that is
chief among the Canadians is that OF
annexation to the United States. The
annexation party is said to be growing
stronger all the time, and it is eX-
pected to have large following in the
Canadian parliament, if not an actual
majority, very soon. But what then?
There are three parties to the question
of annexation. and two of them, Eng
land and the United States, have not
given an expression of their views.
England might decline to let Canada
go, and it is very certain that the
United States is not going to war to
cover her entrance into the Union. The
biggest thing about Canada is her ma
tional debt, aud we have enough in
debtedness on hand among the states
already in the Union. Annexation is
not present possibility, though the
Canadians themselves should desire it.
