But Mr.. Wilde is a man of different cali
Der. Though ne is the son of Lady Wilde,
the Mrs. Leo Hunter of Dublin, and brother
of Oscar Wilde, the Qpack of estheticism,
he is a man of much force and retlcence.
Like many who writes freely of others, he
has no taste for having his private life
dissected.
Thus when his wife gets interviewed on
the beauty of her foot, or her relations
with Leuville, or her hopes of saving Eris-
toff from suicide, Wilde is likely to get
angry. He will say to her: My dear,
can't you see that the papers are merely
making a fool OF you3 What have you
done that they should discuss yous Are
you member of society," Are you in
good journalistic standingi Are you ex-
ceptional for beauty or intelligence Why
should they interview you except to make
you clown before the country"
Then there is likely to be trouble, and
separation, and Mrs. Leslie will look for
number five.

WOMEN IN THE PULPIT.

Women win men to pretty much every
thing else. Why shouldn't they win them
to faith and goodnessl-[New York World.
The Methodist council seems, on the
whole, to look favorably upon the plan of
allowing women to preach. But if the la
dies get into the pulpit what will be about
the average length of Sunday sermon2-
Louisville Commercial
Now that all the preachers are men, the
proportion of women in their congregations
is Overwhelming. If women take the pull
pit, will the men take the pew2 1t would
be a goodly sight to see all our young men
attending church on Sunday.-lLouisville
Post.
The Methodist council at Washington is
out Of date in looking to st. Paul to afford
data for settling the right of woman to
equal church privileges, including the pull
pit. Paul may have been right in his time.
but the woman of to-day is not the kind he
knew and disliked.-[St. Paul Globe.

BRICNBATS VERSUS BOwIES.

When the Tyler judge resorted to
Isbrickbats as proper weapons where
with to assail his legal antagonist, he
displayed an unusual degree of strate-
gic talent, and at the same time taught
the pugnacious aud combative Texan
| useful and wholesome lesson. He
might have confined the scrap" to a
war of words, but in q combat of that
sort he perceived doubtless early in the
action that the enemy's magazine was
much better provided than his own with
ammunition of that sort, and that he
could hardly hope to escape yivisection,
or at least good SHINING. The need
therefore for change of weapons that
would place the antagonist upon ground
more equal, became imperative, and
the judge lost no time in making it.
Knives or pistols might have been
used by the combatants, but that would
have endangered life, and besides,
would have set very bad example for
the youth of Texas. They refrained,
their good sense asserting itself nobly
in the tempest and whirlwind Of pas
sion. In appealing from intellectual to
physical force the distinguished COM
batants were considerable enough to
strike out upon a new plan of warfare,
TO blaze the way for a reform in the old
methods of personal belligerency, and
do what they could by example to dis
courage the use of the bowie and the
slX-shooter. That they succeeded in
the establishments a wholesome prece-
dent-which it is to be hoped others will
follow in the future when there is blood
on the moons attested by the happy
result. Neither OF the honorable gen.
tlemen suffered injury, both coming off
with whole hides. What better recon-
mendation could be desired of the brick
bat style OF personal combat than the
example referred to? 1t is far more de-
sirable than fisticuffs, which, if it does
not degenerate into gouging out an eye
or two. often ends by closing them up,
and otherwise disfguring the counten-
ance, to say nothing OF the opportunity
which malicious antagonist enjoys of
slipping snicker-snee between ones
ribs.
Hurting brickbats is an essentially
harmless way of fighting, while it al
fords an ample opportunity for the ex-
ereise of maddered energy. No one is
skilled in the art. and the aim Is never
steady. Missiles go flying about aim
lessly with the slightest possible chance
of reaching the mark. You can dodge |
q bricllbat, but you can't dodge bull |
let. Besides, brickbats are not always |
near at hand. and often while man is |
searching for one his fury may cool |
down or bystanders may interfere to
end the brawl.
Hence we say the distinguished gem
tlemen at Tyler may plead in extenua-
ton OF their '.scrap" that they have set |
a wholesome precedent which, if fol-
lowed, will wean the present and all |
coming generations of Texans from the
use of concealed deadly weapons. In
the sign of the brickbat shall the bel |
igerent conquer henceforth.

THE Alliance in Clayton county,
Georgia, county which forms part of
the senatorial district in which the city
of Atlanta is located, has declared for
mally that since our leaders are try
ing to keep the Alliance in the Demo
cratic party to our ruin, we declare
ourselves independent of all old parties,
and pledge our undivided support to
the Peoples party" This is rather a
hard blow at Brother Livingston, who
recently declared that he would abide
by whatever action the Democratic
party might take.

THE STATE cHAIRMAN,s OPINION.


The chairman OF a Democratic exc
cutive committee could not take any
other view than that taken by Mr..
Finley OF the matter Of which he treats
in his letter in THE GAZETTE to-day.
1t is the utterance of Democrat, and
the soundness OF its argument and the
correctness OF its conclusions will not
be disputed by any man in Texas who
is a Democrat. THE GAZETTE feels
that, in some sense, this letter of the
party chairman of the state committee
is a compliment to its own soundness
Of political opinion, for Mr.. Finley's
letter reaches the same conclusions by
the same premises as this paper had al
ready reached.
The point that cannot be got around
is that the sub-treasury wing of the
Farmers Alliance represents distinct
political organization, contending for
the enforcement of a definite PROPOSE
ton by legislation that the Democratic
party OF the state has declared to be I'M
safe and opposed to Democratic prin-
ciples. In other states. where they
felt themselves to be strong enough,
they have boldly opposed the candi-
dates OF the Democratic party and have
in some instances beaten them. It does
not matter whether some of these SUBJ
treasury followers have fOrmerIy ha-
longed to the party or not, nor that
they still declare that they are Demo-
Gratis. Their action bellies their pro-
tession. The man who Is q Democrat

doubt the package containing poison was
sent by the defendant, and will also prove
that he wrote the inscription, aud although
notified promptly of Mrs. Barnaby's death
It was six days after before he appeared in
Denver.
When the circumstances of the bottle
were repeated to him he had no doubt but
that the Bennetts had sent 1t. When in
formed that the dead woman had made a
second will he was very much agitated,
and disappeared for the remainder of the
day, only appearing at the depot in time
to join the funeral party.
Upon his return TO Providence ne made
n very important statement to one Charles
+. Lincoln, in which he DETAINED the moral
character of his benefactor, and likewise
claimed that the Bennetts must have sent
the bottle.
Upon the arrival of John H. Conrad in

tween Conrad and Graves. Hanscomb be-
ing present at the last one in the role of
knowledged to Conrad having sent the
bottle, and claimed that it contained only
pure whiskey. The doctor then told Con-
rad to call in his brother When Hans
comb had entered the room and taken a
seat, Graves said: Now want you to

Graves was urged to tell more, but with
out success. On being urged to publish
his admission he said:
Better take a six x-shooter and blow my
brains out, as my family as well as friends
would leave me-"
Several days later he was given choice Of
returning to Denver voluntarily or under
indictment. We will show beyond any
doubt that defendant was the only person
in the world who could have any motive
for the destruction of the life of Mrs.
Barnaby. We will show that DIR. Graves
prepared the contents of the bottle which
WAS mailed by him alone
