We are . great believer il cause and
efect-that there can be no effect with
but q primary cause We have in our
minds eye . family Of six; father and
mother and four children, the eldest q
daughter, and three sons. To avoid err
roneous differences, we may say that this
family does not reside in Nevada and
never did. We are writing Of a case
about which we happen to know through
. friend 10 one Of the New England
States. Intellectually. socially and 6usn.
cislly this family composed the leading
people Of the town in which they lived.
ALI Of them. from the parents down,
were accomplished and refined and stood
. little ahead Of the very foremost rank in
the local community. Singular as it may
seem, with all Of their advantages Of ed
ucstion, wealth and social position con-
sidered, the children, each and all OF
them went to the bsd-to the very low
est dregs Of humanity. The daughter, q
young lady Of the greatest promise and
beauty, entered upon a life Of shame,
and the three boys in the space Of q few
years became mere physical wrecks and
loating vagabonds from strong drink.
knowing something Of the history Of this
once happy, brilliant family, whose de-
moralization and downfall, we learned
with deep regret, we set our mind to the
task of inquiring for q cause. Why the
entire offspring should descend TO the
gutter seemed to us TO be inexplicable.
We knew something Of the transmission
Of vice from parents to children; we
knew that the Bible laid down the doc
trine that the sins Of the ancestors might
crop out in its posterity eve down to
the tenth generation, but one Of these
conditions exactly suited the case, be-
cause all in the ancestral line, as far as
known, had been Of high character and
good habits. We therefore concluded
that it would not do to lay the degrade.
tion OF these children at the door Of the
old.timers, and began the search for q
more immediate cause. We think we
found il. Their parents were irreligious
people. They did not believe in any
Church, nor in God nor the devil, mol in
nor hell. They believed that
everything terminated with this life.
They were committed to material rather
than spiritual things. Their children
naturally stood with them and shared
their views. As might we'll be imagined
the latter grew up without impressions
Of that high moral tone and sensibility 80
essential 10 good character and correct
principles in after life. The early train
ing and impressions follow us to the
grave. In like manner the absence OF
proper teaching while the mind is in the
plastic state will manifest itself to the
end. The churches may all be wrong.
but whether they are or not, their refining
and restraining influence on the natural
beast in mankind is worth more TO the
worlds civilization than that Of all other
institutions combined. Civil govern
ment itself is only made possible through
the fundamentally of the moral govern
ment OF the churches.

The Democratic campaign has opened
in full force in Ohio and the accounts
received from all over the State are Of
the most encouraging character. The
Democrats are fully aroused and enthus-
iastic. Converts are being daily made
from the Republican party. All signs
now point to not only the election Of
Governor Campbell, but also of a major
ity Of the Legislature by the Democrats,
which means a Democratic United States
Senator TO succeed John Sherman.

he prolong this living death? A thud as
it touched the iron plate; a horrible

long, convulsive shudder of the body,
and he lay dead before me, killed by his

Hours afterward was carried from

Gid johnson Home Again.

Yesterday evening Gid E. johnson, whose
terrible experience in Chicago has been
chronicled in THE GAZETTE, returned to the
city, accompanied by his wife. He says he
met his Fort Worth friends at the Palmer
house and that he accompanied them to
Chaplin s. Cores, where the returns from
the races were bulletined. He stood in the
crowd for q while and, remarking that he
was not interested and was going back to
the Palmer house, stepped out the side
door, leaving his friends around the bull
letin board. 1t was raining and after he
had gone about twenty five steps he thought
he would raise his umbrella, and while do
ing so received the blow on the head which
he fancied was stroke of lightning. This
was on June s.. He remembers nothing
more until the 18th. when he found him
self at Austin, Mimi, and was told
he had been attempting to secure
job on farm. He took
the train that evening for Chicago, and
upon arriving at Dubuque thought he was
in Chicago and began a search for the
Palmer house. He was met by travelling
man, brother Mason, who saw his condi-
ton and started with him for Chicago His
companion saw the account in the Chicago
papers of his accident, and at once wired
his wife, this being the first intimation she
had as to where he was. Mr.. Johnson says
the doctors pronounced him suffering from
conclusion of the brain, and he is still very
weak from the effects Of the blow. He is
recovering rapidly, however, and says he is
worth dozen dead men yet.

bedford Matters.

The North Tarrant county singing asso-
citation convened at Keller last Saturday.
There was large attendance and the sing
ing was excellent, especially that rendered
by the Smithfield and Brausford classes.
The address of Mrs. E. o. Evans of Fort
Worth on the subject of 'sVocal Music'
was instructive and duly appreciated by
those who heard it. The members of the
Bedford class were unable to attend, but
not through any lack OF interest in vocal
music. The next meeting will be held at
Whites chapel in July.
An amateur baseball club from Fort
Worth visited Bedford last Sunday with
the hope of playing match game with the
"Rustics.'' The "Rustics" failed to ma
terialize, however. and the Fort Worth nine
returned after giving our citizens few ex-
hibitions of the manly sport, somewhat dis
appointed. The people here are somewhat
scrupulous in regard to the observance of
the Sabbath at any rate.

day with his parents in Bedford.

The Export Wheat.

The movement of Texas export wheat has

not be allowed to rest between Fort Worth
and New Orleans and the gulf. Yesterday
the first trainload of wheat for export
passed through the city from Quanah en-
route to New Orleans. This makes the first
movement of Texas wheat this season and
it will continue to flow seaward for some
time to come. 1t was reported on the
streets yesterday that dealers had been
among the farmers negotiating for corn and
that one man wanted to contract $4,000
bushels at 15 cents, but was unable to do so,
the famers evidently believing that better

For a Brutal Assault.

J. A. Dickson. the negro who brutallv as
saulted little bootblack by the name of
fine of 500 was imposed by Judge Kern.
The assault was an unprovoked one and the
brute deserved all he got. The cause of it
was the refusal of the little fellow to give
the negro cigarette, and his refusal after
wards to shine his shoes. The negro then
picked Byrnie up and threw him violently
against the ground twice, hurting him Sc
yerely. Dickson was connected with the
circus that gave exhibitions in the city on
Wednesday and Thursday nights.
