Died of His Iniuries.

William Hamilton died at 5 o'clock last

light wires on the line of the Allegheny
Traction Company. His home was on
Frankstown avenue, East End, but he had
come here only short time ago from New

An Ex-Slaye,s Story.

An old colored man entered the Twelfth
ward police station last night, and asked
Sergeant Stix for lodging. He was ragged
and sick, and claimed that his home was in
Philadelphia. He said he had no parents
there, or relatives, and was without en-
ployment. He arrived yesterday in this
city and said he could get work at the
Black Diamond Steel Works. He gave his
name as George Thompson, aged GO years,
and his birth place as Georgetown, Virginia.
He said he had been a slave previous to the
war, and had fled to Philadelphia upon the
outbreak of hostilities. Sergeant Silk
granted him his request

A Couple of Allegheny Raids.

A large double brick house at 217 East
street, Allegheny, was raided by Detective
Glenn and Officers Thornton and Lee last
night. The building was occupied by Gertie
Cook on one side and Mrs. Steen on the
other, both of whom were the subjects OF
comp laints from the neighbors. In Miss
Cooks apartm ent little company of two
men, the proprietress and another woman
were playing cards, and in Mrs. Stems a
coterie of three men and two women were
found drinking beer. They were locked up,
the women, aside from those named, regis
tering as Annie Dale, Hazel Barclay and

tered his store and demanded money from
his 15-year-old son. The boy would not

him down and robbed him. Schuman ap-
peared and was similarly treated. Officer
Rosenblatt arrested the three men and is
after the others. Informations will be made
against them by Schuman.

Residents of Edwards Alley Complain OF
Being Neglected.
A complaint is being made by the resi-
dents along Edwards alley, between South
Twenty eighth and South Thirtieth street,
that the sanitary condition of those two
blocks is being badly neglected. Within
the past three months, it is asserted that II
children who lived along the alley, and
whose ages range fran few days to 6years,
have died from diseases almost directly
traceable to the filth in the neighborhood.
The attention of the Bureau of Health, it is
said, was called to the matter, but they neg
lected to thoroughly investigate the whole
place, and now things are worse than ever.
Of the II children that have died, the
deaths of six of the number took place dur
ing the past three weeks.

Good Roads and Content.

The beneficial results on the social and in
dustrial life Of the farmer are being dis
cussed in all sections of the Union. Isola-
ton is the cause of much OF the farmers
tale of woe, and economists are beginning
to realize the fact. There is stream OF
humanity constantly flowing from the farm
to the town, aud the isolation of the farm IS
largely the cause OF it. This subject is one
deserving the serious consideration of
statesmen, and but for politicians in Texas
this state might now have a local option
road law that would enable any county to
have at once highways passahle in all sea-
sons. It is q subject that VIII not always
down at the bidding Of politicians. So
strong mold has it taken upon the public
mind that a road congress has been called,
and at the opening of the Raleigh exposi-
ton the editor of the Charleston World
dwelt in his speech upon the need of good
roads, now becoming SO apparent. I'VE
have the worst country roads in the uni
verse; said he; and the lack of easy means
of communication over wagons, ne thought,
has led to tnat isolation and want of inter-
course among the Southern people which is
so necessary part of material and social
progress. There can be but little hope for
the agricultural South until this prime de-

or conditions Of Tarrant and Houston
counties have anything to do with the
matter. We must make the COM
parison between West Texas, of which
Tarrant is part, and East Texas, of
which Houston county is part. Then
it will be found that West Texas pays
in more to the school fund than it gets
from that fund, while East Texas, in
Guiding the habitat of the editorial
sponsor of the Courier, gets more from
that fund than it pays in. In other
words, the West pays taxes to a COM
mon fund, while the. East draws upon
this fund for the education of its
children-a large majority OF them
being negro children, whose parents
pay no taxes. That is all that The
GAZETTE has asserted and it is we'll
borne out by the facts. 1t shows that
East Texas. as a whole, exacts tribute
from the counties OF West Texas for
educational purposes, as Rome exacted
tribute from its provinces to feed its
wealth and strength.

MUsCoGEE, l. t, Nov. 9.-The recent

The most interesting criminal suit for the
November term of the United States court
which convenes tomorrow, is that of the
government against Prince Lowery for
assault to kill, made on Rosney Mackey.
The former is a Creek and the latter is a
Cherokee. The Fort Smith court has no
jurisdiction over such cases. The law pro-
vides that the Territory court shall have
jurisdiction III certain cases where the pun
ishmeut is other than Imprisonment at hard
labor, and when the interested parties are
members of different nations. As this
crime is punishable by hard labor the ques-
ton of conflict will be raised.
1t is understood that ex-Indian Agent
Owens is endeavoring to have the Cherokee
council, now in session, pass law to allot
the lands contained in the outlet and Cher
okee Nation proper, the Nation in some way
to give the patents, which convey to each
citizen his pro rata. in the hope the govern
ment will be unable to help itself. This
will hardly be accomplished. The National
council under the treaty cannot have an
operative law except with the Endorsement
of the Indian agent and approval of the
secretary of the interior. 1t seems hardly
probable the government would refuse to
approve such law passed by the council
and permit the Nation to take their lands in
seyeralty under pretended law and in yio-
lation OF the treaty.
BY the Oklahoma bill congress has pro-
vided the way one or more of such Indians
may have their lands partitioned by the
court for the Indian Territory The law is
plain, and congress was not idly Willing its
time. Such suit having been commenced,
anyone desiring the same may be made a
party on proper application.

THE assessment of Tarrant county
shows that the property holders pay
taxes on about twenty million dollars
of the various forms of wealth. A tax
of 10 cents on the 500 will give rev.
enue, on this basis, of $50, 900 year for
the building of good roads in the
county. This expenditure, supple
mented by the work done by the con-
victs, will build several miles of road
each year. The increase of the taxa
bic wealth in the county will increase
the road tax revenue year by year, and
we may confidently expect that within
five years Tarrant county will be SO
gridironed by public macadam or gray
ell roads as to make communication
with the various parts of it easily ac-
complished, as well in the rainy sea-
son as in the dry.

DIAMONDS AND LEGISLATION.

The New York Herald devotes a
chapter to diamonds, and gives the
opinion OF a large dealer in those
precious stones that the women of
America own and wear 5000, 600
worth of diamonds. Some of the
largest owners Of the glittering gems
are singled out for special mention.
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt owns $4,000, 600
worth of them, and the Astor family
jewels are not less valuable. The
women may be counted by the score in
New York whose wealth in diamonds
exceeds 100000. The display at a
fashionable gathering of these princes
of the New World is not equaled at any
gathering of royalty in the European
capitals.
The possession of diamonds is in.
dicative of good taste. They are safe
investments, for they are as saleable as
gold. But-they excite discomfort.
There are probably thousands of people
in New York who think nothing OF the
great wealth of the Astors and the
Vanderbilts, though they know that
these men control hundreds of millions.
But when they read OF the diamonds
worn by the wives of the many-million-
aires, representing so many millions,
discomfort and defiance are brought up.
1t is the vain parade of wealth, not its
actual existence and potency, that men
complain of.
This talk about plutocracy, al
though idle and often splenetic, is not
altogether senseless. There is a plu-
tocracy. 1t not only exists, but it is
growing in numbers and in power. 1t
creates antagonism and arouses resent
ments. This feeling of antagonism and
resentment expresses itself in legisla-
ton, and often in foolish legislation
such as the alien land law. The many
who are not rich have votes, and with
these votes they strike at the few who
are rich. And as diamonds are the
most visible and, to the multitude, the
most offensive evidence of this wealth,
we may say that diamonds exercise a
disastrous effect upon the legislation OF
the country-sometimes for the wealth
of the country, but often against it.

Some of you have been making some bad

you would have done in his stead-all these
things are boomerangs. If fight you must,
do it from some merit in the charges. Just
ask yourself the question: What is
wrong with the administration of Governor
Hogg, and if errors, if any, he has made,
are they not those that any other man, time

made?' The signing of the alien law seems

TAXING PETER FOR PAUL's BENEFIT

Our esteemed, though atrabilious,
piny-woods contemporary, the Crockett
Courier, is quite angry with THE GA
zETTE, because THE GAZETTE does not
agree with the Courier, or the editor
of the Courier, on the alien land law
ouestion--nor on several other ques-
tons, as lar as that goes-so the
Courier is worked up to state OF
mind that is painful to see.
The editor OF the Courier calls at
tention to the fact that Tarrant county
gets more from the distribution Of the
school fund than it pays to that fund
Just as does the county which the
editor of the Courier honors with his
presence. THE GAZETTE does not
understand that the relative position
