He is the first governor who has as
sumed the leadership Of the conserva-
tive, law abiding masses OF Texas IN
the matter of criminal reform. Gov
ernor Hogg sees very clearly the in
Jury being done the state by the
present epidemic of crime, and the
following utterances imputed to him
will meet a hearty echo in every nook
and corner OF the state from people
who will back him in warning upon
the murderers and assassins, whose
deeds have so long disgraced the
state:
Governor Hogg is reported to have
said:
81 am Democrat and expect to up
hold the Democratic principle of gov
eminent. | am railway commission
man, have formed the railway com.
mission and expect 1t to do good, but
above all, / am law and order man.
The reputation of Texas must be
changed. 1t is absolutely necessary
to us, and | am here to see iJ done.
Whether I AIN governor for two or
four years the best part of my time
wi be devoted to this end. The peace
officers of the state will find friend
and hacker in me.
eff a man steals horse and skips to
Canada, suppose we will have to let
him 90, but if he commits murder or
any other one of the gravest crimes, he
will be brought back If it takes every
dollar in the treasury and banks of
Texas"
The governors interference in the
Pearsall trial, which he saw was drift
ing into the usual farce. is a good
beginning. If Governor Hogg will do
nothing else but throw the moral
weight of his administration against
crime in Texas, he will have received
the plaudIts at least of the law and
order classes of society who are getting
heartily sick and tired of this murder
ing and killing. which has given us so
unsavory reputation abroad.
"The reputation of Texas must be
changed says the governor, and the
$50, 900 majority who put him in Office,
re-echo his words. But before Cover
Hogg or any other executive can bring
about the needed reform, there must
be change in the public opinion
which lies back OF the jury box and
the judge on the bench.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-06-18
A GOOD DECISION.

After the close of our late civil war
a statute was passed limiting the APP
pointments to our police force to those
who had served in the army and had
been honorably discharged. 1t was
proper way to testify to the nations
gratitude to its defenders, but after
while it became positive hinderance
to efficiency in service, where above
all things. sound body and great
strength are needed. The years skip
ped away bringing toI many of these
veterans, old age, silver eros ns and
weakened limbs, and the community
recognized that something must be
done, if here in this city of 'magnit-
cent distances" we would have proper
guardians of the peace. Now the
court has decided that the statute is
inapplicable as limitation upon the
power of the commissioners to make
police appointments, so we may hope
for the strongest and best on our force
that can be secured. 1t is hard SER
vice, and requires physical and moral
courage alike to deal with the vicious
cases that hide in haunts of infamy,
and too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed on faithful and efficient officer in
this branch of our municipal machin-
cry. LIE. DEAN.

THE despotic, egotistical utterances
and actions of the light headed young
despot who tyrannizes over the sober
people Of Germany is fast undermin-
ing his power and influence, fast dig
ging a pit into which his foolish feet
shall step. Indeed, the tendency in
every monarchial quarter of the globe
seems to. be toward growth of pop
ular power, fiourishing growth draw
ing strengthened nutriment from the
came sources which sap the life blood
OF tyranny, and nowhere is there a
better field for just such growths than
Germany affords. What magnifi
cent president for a German republic
Bismarck would make.

1.-TWO Souls with but a Single Thought.

As they sat side by side, they sighed
"Oh, my idol!' he said, and then idled.
Dear Luke" said she, as she looked,
II will we'd thee if thou wilt" and he
wilted. The honeymoon passed in an
excess of joy. Excess in eating rich
food brings indigestion, sick headache
and frequent attacks of dizziness. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will cure all
these. They are tiny, sugar coated,
and easy to swallow. No other pre-.
paration compares with them as liver
pill. They are guaranteed, and one is
a dose.

THE actual voting strength of the
Farmers Alliance in the United States
is put at 2,476,OOO by the New York
Herald. This includes the negroes and
members of the Democratic party.
Many staunch answering Democrat

headed Republican negro is a men,

and brains will keep the one within
the lines of his party; stubbornness
and ignorance will hold the other.
The Alliance will not help the third

THE people of Texas can get some
kind of an idea as to the amount of
public money being spent here when
it is announced that the warran' s
drawn by the state comptroller during
the last three months pulled exactly
81, ISL ,3S4.0S in cash from the state
treasury, as we'll as 500, 400 in bonds
This is a big round sum, and to the

thing appalling, especially when he
reflects that all this money comes from
him and more just like him.

THE UNIVERSITY SEASON.

The distinguished professors, the
hopeful graduates, the pretentious
sophomores now hold the boards, to
the delight of an admiring public,
made up partly of grave and reverend
Seniors" who, at these June COM
mencements, are Carried back to their
own college days, when life seemed as
bright and beautiful as it does to the
youths who are now taking, in the
form of ''sheepskins," their passports
into the great, practical world of reali-
ties. 1t would be a thankless as we'll as
cruel task to cast SINCE shadow on
the rosy dream of life that fits through
the brain Of the average university
boy or college miss. 1t would be an
ticipating what time itself will do
when the young natures now imbib-
ing from the fountains of classical and
mathematical learning have been
made strong by contact with the
world.
Our interest in the hundreds of
young men and women who will in a
few days be turned loose from Texas
universities and colleges to enjoy the
vacation and the society of dotipg
friends, is deepened by the reflection
that these same youths will in
in a few years control the des-
TIMES of our great state
and assume the reins of power when
we have laid them down. How i'm
portant then it is that the men and
women who are to run things in Texas
twenty years from now should be edu
Gated intelligent, honorable and of high
moral rectitude! That is the kind Of
men and women who are to rule society
in Texas; that we of the present are at
tempting to turn out from our univer-
stiles and schools, and while the OBJ
iects may not have ! been full
ly attained, a good beginning
has certainly been made.
Take our state university, for instance,
the annual commencement exercises
of which were begun yesterday by the
baccalaureate ysermon of Rev. J. q.
Tyler of Cincinnati. There is scarcely
q county in the state where the uni
versity is not represented by some
young and rising professional man
who yields an influence in his local
ity and reflects credit on his
alma mater. So it will 60 on
till, in the near future, our
university, the most distinguished
seat of learning in the southwest shall
shed abroad the refining and benign
influences of literature and knowledge
throughout the bounds of our great
state, and by the genuine erudition
and ability of its professors command
attention and respect abroad.

CRIPPLED BUT NOT KILLED.
The law excluding lottery companies
from the mails dealt heavy blow, but
did not extinguish that nefarious traf-
fic, for business is now transacted
through the express companies thus
transmitting their circulars and tick
cts and receiving their remittances.
Two of the leading express companies,
after the passage OF the law, issued
orders to their employees not to receive
lottery matter, but it is asserted that
these instructions are not en-
forced. An instance of the decep.
ton practic d is furnished by
New Orleans paper which publishes
two editions daily, the difference con-
sistiug in the omission in one of the
lottery advertisements, and inserting
it in the other; this latter sent out by
express and the former by mail. 1t is
proposed to bring this matter to a
test, and the constitutional right OF
the government to prevent express
companies from carrying this restrict
ed matter, will prove an interesting
subject for debate.
