LAREDO. Ten. June 4.-F'rom passengers
and trainmen who came in tonight on the
south bound International and Great North
EN- passenger train the particulars of one
of the most cold blooded murders which has
ever blotched the annals of Western Texas
was learned. The parties engaged III the
affair are all known in this section and the
murderers have an unsaVory reputa tion.
At Oily station, about twenty miles
above Cotulla, Alfred Alice, George King
and man named Lyon boarded the train
and walked down the aisle of the passenger
car to a seat where Messrs. W. c. and W.
J. Bowen, brothers, were seated. One of
the parties, stated to be Lyon, went 10 the
entrance of the car and stood guard. Alice
then pulled 4 brace of siX-Shooters and
opened on W. C. Bowen, literally filling
him full of bullets. King. it is said, also
used his gun.
In the melee W. j. Bowen was shot
through the tieshy part of the arm, but not
seriously. W. c. Bowen was shot through
the head and several times through the
body.
HIS BRAINS WERE SCATTERED
over the seat of the car A panic ensued
and the three assassins jumped from the
car and ran off but short distance when
they reloaded their weapons and hurriedly
started 10 return to the car. About this
time the train pulled out.
A telegram received in this city a few
moments past states that Alice has given
himself up TO the authorities at Pearsall.
Frio county, of which county he is resi-
dent, the crime having been committed in
that county.
The trouble seems TO have originated
over the too free use by W. C. Bowen of
Allee's name in the Cotulla Ledger of which
Bowen was the editor. Alice is noted
character and Bowen is his fourth or fifth
Victim.
W. J. Bowen was i prominent LAWYER of
Cotulla, and was TO have been married
either tonight Or tomorrow night. The
passengers and trainmen say il was cold
blooded assassination.
King, who is said to have been with him
is fugitive from justice from this county
where he jumped his bond recently for cat

4 MAN AT THE HELM.

Some inconvenience will follow the elimi-
nation of important items in the General
Appropriation Bill before the Governor at
tached his signature to it. but there will be
compensation for such inconvenience.
When the Legislature meets in 1898 the
public institutions which expect State aid
will be more modest in their demands.
Last winter every commission, bureau, So
cety or other organization for the eXpendi-
lure of public money kept two or three men
AZ the capital importuning members of both
Houses for large appropriations for their
several associations. The consequence was
that the General Appropriation Bill eX-
ceeded the expenditure allowed by the fifty
cent limit, and Governor Markham, in full
fillment of his pledge, struck out appropria-
tons that he would have reduced if he had
had the constitutional authority to do so.
The appropriation for the State Agricultural
Society, for the District Agricultural Associa-
ton, the Yiticultural and other commits
sions and the Mining Bureau, have been dis
allowed. The representatives of these as
sociaiOns asked for so much and succeeded
so well with the legislators that the
Governor had 10 cut them off without a
shilling In several cases men drawing
$50 a month from the treasury of the
associations they represented, spent the en-
tire winter at Sacramento working for
large appropriations The extinction of
some of these associations will be public
misfortune. The Mining Bureau has a col
lection Of minerals that should be preserved
at any cost. II the voracious officials of the
head of that institution had been content
with a moderate appropriation there would
have been no trouble about getting it. But
those officials who succeeded in getting the
original appropriation of $4,000 increased
to $4,000 may now console themselves with
the loss of the whole Ten thousand a year
would keep the museum open and the work
OF Classification and assay going on, but it
would not support corps of lobbyists.
Something should be done to keep the in
stitution alive, but its management should
be entrusted to more competent hands. The
Governor has called the Legislature IN
order He has informed them that If they
are unmindful of their pledges he is not.
His example viii have a good influence over
the next Legislature.
The morning call., 1891-04-08
a SLIP OF TIE PEN.

The courage Governor Markham has
shown in holding the Legislature down to
its pledges creates the impression that in
the multiplicity of his duties he did not
find time to look personally into the merits
of the bill directing the Board of Super
visOrs for San Francisco to ray the debts
owed by certain property-holders to j. j..
Conlin. The claim has no other merit than
that it is hardship for Mr.. Conlin to lose
money that is fairly due him. If the Legs
lature has power to direct the Supervisors
of this city to pay the debts OF certain vi its
citizens it is not possible to conjecture what
amount of money may be eaten up in this
way. The intimation is thrown out that
similar case has been decided in the Su-
preme Court in favor of the claimant A
similar case is not always an Identical case,
and in matter setting up a new rule of
action in respect to the payment of debts
decision in that particular case should have
been waited for. We are inclined to the be-
lief that the Governor did not give the Con-
lin bill the consideration its importance as
a precedent would warrant.
The morning call., 1891-04-08
4 soMBER PICTURE.

In the North american Rerielg for April
is an article from the pen of Cardinal Glib
bons, Archbishop of Baltimore, in which
we find the following:
The economic conditions In the United States
are fast approaching those OF England. The
homes OF the poor are more marked by destitu-
lion and sQualor; the light of heaven is being
clos out from miserable tenement room and
attic; flesh and blood are becoming more cheap,
and bread more dear; the well-being OF the car
horse is more solicitousy watched than that OF
the driver. Small wonder that strong men. mad
dened by the tears of wife and cries OF starving
children band themselves together, and some
times resort TO deeds of violence.
In the tenement-houses of New York there
are doubtless homes in which the light of
heaven dimly shines. There are in these
districts cases of restitution and sQualor,
but such instances are the exec ption rather
than the rule. There are very few strong
men who cannot provide for wife and chill
dren by industry and reasonable economy.
Statements of this nature, so long as they
deal with fnets, tend to prevent the evil they
deplore, but lurid pictures drawn from
isolated cases do more harm than good.
Labor in this country is continually gaining
ground. The hours of labor are being
shortened and rates of wages maintained
or advanced. A dollar is earned more easily
now than it was forty years ago, and it will
buy more of the comforts of life. Bread is
not becoming dearer nor is flesh and blood
becoming cheaper.
The morning call., 1891-04-08
FREIGHT RATES FOR SUGAR.

When The CALL asked the AHG to ex-
plain the reasons why the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company had advanced freight
rates On west-bound sugar, we expected the
question would be treated seriously. But
the Alta slides out of the corner with the
intimaIion that Congress intended no bene-
fit to the people by taking the duty from SUI
gar, consequently that the Southern Pacific
did no wrong in stepping in and appr0pria-
ting large share of the duty. The ground
for this somewhat astounding assertion is
that protectionists claim that foreign pro-
ducers pay the tariff tax. The Aitd says
"From THE CALLS standpoint nobody
is hurt in this country and nobody is bene-
flied except the foreign producer of raw
sugar, to whom Major Mckinley has re-
mitted 0,0OO,000 year sugar tax, leaving
nothing to be divided between the railroads
and the refinors." We have on more than
one occasion attempted to explain to our
contemporary the difference between an
import tax on articles of foreign produce
which we do not produce, and an import
tax on articles which are common TO all
countries. On articles like tea, coffee, sugar.
spices. etc, which we do not produce, an
import tax logically adds its whole amount
TO the cost of the foreign article. On ar
ticles common to this and other countries
with which we trade home production es-
tablishes price which foreign producers
are compelled to meet to get their goods
into our market. Let us take tea and steel
rails as examples. AS we produce no tea
any tax we may put Oh that product must be
paid By the consumer. But we can manu-
facture steel rails for S2s ton. and Europe
can manufacture steel rails for So per ton.
The foreign manufacturer has, in eonse-
euence, TO pay Sc per ton to get his rails
into-tIfe American market If there were
no duty the foreign manufacturer would
fix The price at point below the home
cost that would give him the market. The
American manufacturer would be CON-
PEELED TO produce at 800 per ton, with cost
of transportation added. or not produce at
ALL It may be remarked in this place that
a tariff for revenue calls for import duties
on articles like tea coffee, spices aud sugar,
for the reason that the demand for them is
not subject TO fluctuations aud revenue
from them can be, in consequence, the more
easily collected. Under revenue tariff we
should pay higher prices for articles we are
compelled to import, bat wages would
necessarily be reduced to enable US to COM
pete with foreign manufacturers in articles
we can produce.
The morning call., 1891-04-08
ANOTHER WORD FOR THE SEAL.

The attention Of Fish Commissioner Red
ding and others, who seek to eXterminate
the seals on the Seal Rocks on the ground
that they eat salmon, is respectfully called
to the monograph of Special Agent Petroff
on the food fish OF Alaska, published in the
advance sheets of the census report. Mr..
Petroff, whose means of obtaining accurate
information were unsurpassed, says that
while the seal will eat cod, salmon, behring's,
sculpins, crabs and other fish, his chief prey
is the dogfsh, which has nearly extermin-
ated the cod. herring and salmon IN Prince
William Sound.
The ravenous pirate of northern seas,
known as the dogfSh, multiplies so rapidly
that whenever it appears in shoals 1t de-
stroys all the young cod, salmon fry and
herring. The only protection for the food
fish is the seal While they may destroy
some salmon, yet they eat the dogfsh in
preference to any other denizen OF the
waters. 1t is the seals which prevent the
dogish from increasing i'll numbers and
keep the large shoals north If Cape Men
docino If the seals were exterminated the
dogfsh would in few years clear the
northern Pacific Ocean of every other finny
tribe Instead of being an injury to the
salmon, the seal is its best friend; for il
not only eats It's enemy. but experience
having taught it that the head of the dog
fish is indigestble in consequence of the
rows of teeth which its mouth contains, a
seal no sooner strikes a shoal of dogliSh
than 1t proceeds to decapitate as many as
it can reach, destroying far more than it
needs for food.
Mr.. Petroff is good witness on the seal
rock question.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER's MISSION.

1t is understood that Sir Charles Tupper's
mission to Washington was TO negotiate
partial treaty of reciprocity between the
United States and Canada. 1t is known
that he has not succeeded in such mission.
The Toronto Empire (Tory) thinks the fail
ure simply a postponement, while the Globe
thinks that the last hope of access to the
markets Of the United States through the
Tory Government has disappeared. The
Globe is right except that that could not dis
appear which had never appeared. There
has been no such hope in the last fifteen
years. There will be no trade reciprocity
with Canada until Canada forms a political
union with the United States. Limited re-
ciprccity is undesirable and commercial
union impractieable. The industrial condi-
lions of the United States must apply to all
peoples whose products are received free
into the United States. When Canada
makes the concessions necessary to induce
the United States to admit her products
free there will not be ghost of an obstacle
to political union between the two coun-
tries.
