TIE sPEoIAL sEssIoN.

THE GAzETTE's prediction that the
special session would be called together
the middle of March was inexact to the
extent of two days; the session will
meet on March 14th. The call gives
wider scope for legislation than it was
supposed it would, and it is easy to
foresee a conflict among the advocates
OF measures touching the several sub
jects to determine which shall have
PRECEDENCE.
A special session is always charged
with danger il the threat of hasty
legislation, especially when it meets on
the eve of an election. It will require
all the prudence and conservatism of
the present body to keep the coming
session clear of mistakes which would
be discreditable to itself and injurious
to the state. By the ultimate results
of the special session the Twenty
second legislature will be judged in
history

JUDGE MAxEY's RULING.
In the United States court this evening
Judge Maxey made a ruling in very able
and exhaustive opinion in the ease of r. +.
Aspley VS.. G. A. Heating ct al which vir-
tually settles the case as against the claim
ant. The case however is not yet closed
and tomorrow the plaintiffs attorneys will
make their argument. This suit is brought
to recover a block of land in the very heart
of Dallas upon which are many fine bust
ness blocks, and is really test case to try
title to the whole Crawford Grigsby 1000
acres on which the major portion of the
city is located. Crawford Grigsby located
this league of land for his father, John
Grigsby in 1904, and was to receive 1000
acres as his locative interest John Grigsby
died in March 1871, and the patent was
issued Jan. %, lS9S. fLODU. +. aSpleI IS
grandson of John Grigsby. In 1874 the
legislature passed special law giving
jurisdiction to probate judges over cases of
specific performance of contract. In 1916
the legislature passed a general law in
which that clause giving this Jurisdiction 10
probate judges was left out In lS47 Craw-
ford Grigsby's administrator moved 10 have
the 1000 acres belonging to the Crawford
Grigsby estate set aside which was so
ordered by the court. Now comes the
plaintiff r. F. Aspley INTO court and
sets up the claim that under the law of
1916, which was in force at the time, the
probate court had no jurisdiction over
cases for the specific performance of con-
tract. Judge Maxey holds that the probate
court at that time did have jurisdiction, for
the reason that the law of 1874 was special
and the law of 1916 general, and the fact of
the clause in reference TO specific perform
ance of contract being left out of the law of
1916 did not change the jurisdiction. This
is one Of the most important suits ever
tried in Dallas, as it involves millions of
dollars worth of property and concerns
thousands Of our people.

DUN'S REPORT.
The Speculative Mania Has
Hoisted Wheat 6 I-2c,
WHICH is NOT WHOLESOME
At Time When Europe is Demanding
Our Cereals-Cotton Dropping Is
Not Good for Southern Trade.
The Weeks Failures.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 19-R- G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review says: The business situa-
ton is not so satisfactory or encouraging as
it has been. While a gradual increase in
the distribution Of many lines Of merchan-
disc continues, there is a shrinkase in de-
mand and much depression In iron. \
further decline in cotton is bGghttng the
hopes Of revival in Southern trade, and
the speculative mania, stimulated by cheap
money and by the great success of coal
speculation, now extends to wheat and
threatens to restrict export.
Notwithstanding the fact that exports Of
wheat have been diminishing, and for four
days of the present week have been only
500, 600 bushels from Atlantic ports, whlls
Western receipts continue large, specu-
lation at Chicago has lifted the price CSC
during the week, and sales here have been
81, 900, 600 bushels, an advance from any
cause which cuts of exports o. breadstufs
at time when Europe is making heavy
demands on the market here cannot be-
wholesome.
Corn declined &c, with large exports, but
very large receipts. Pork products, oats
and coffee are substantially unchanged and
oil 13&c higher on small transactions. Cotton
is shade lower, receipts being "a per cent
better for the week than last year, but ex-
ports SO per cent greater.
At the South business in all lines is
rather quiet, though sugar is strong and
active, but throughout the South continued
depression in cotton is noted as cause Of
dullness.
The week has been gloomy in the iron
trade for pressure to realize on qualities Of
iron not well known or produced in excess
of requirements. More inquiry appears for
structural iron, beams selling at * cents,
but bar iron is in light demand and weak,
and for the finished product generally the
demand is disappointing.
Since the large sales at 10l4c the copper
market has been steadier and tin and lead
are strong
The coal market lie very dull, awaiting re-
suits of the combine
The boot and shoe trade is steady ana
growing, though cutting of prices for boots
has done no good and shipments are still
below those of last year.
Trade in dress goods is also improving,
although in this city there is much cutting
of retail prices. Cotton goods are more ac-
tive than in any previous week this year.
The value of all exports from New York
for the two weeks of February have been
81 per cent larger than the same weeks last
year.
Business failures throughout the country
during the past seven days number 29g, as
compared with 276 last week, and geo the
corresponding week last year.

A n1sGRAoEFuL. YERnIcr.

The acquittal of Alice by an Austin
jury for the murder of W. C. Bowen
was, in effect, the re-enactment of a
jury-made law that a quarrel may
reach such heated state that either
of the participants may. kill the other
upon sight without offense to society.
There was no pretense of self defense,
no occasion whatever for the murder
other than the hostile feeling enter
tanned by Bowen towards Alice, and
the assumption that if he did not kill
Bowen, Bowen might at some time kill
him.
Such verdict upon such facts is d
discredit to Travis county and to the
state. 1t reveals trace of the semi
barbarous conditions in which each
man is law unto himself, and where
the only recognized rule is the law of
might.
The verdict redirects attention 70
the necessity of reform in the methods
OF enforcing law. All OF the enact
ments in Christendom are valueless
when men, as the world goes reputable,
constantly go into the jury box to vio-
late the law. and their oaths, and de-
termine cases according to their crude
ideas OF merits.
The development of a healthy public
sentiment which would fix the sanctity
of the jurors oath as high as any other,
and require him to track the law rather
than to toss pennies in his mind to see
whether he would have acted as the
criminal, would do much toward the
achievement of better civilization
marked by higher regard for human

WHEN the national Democratic con-
vention meets it may be more anxious
to give Senator Hill the nomination
than he is to accept it. Murray Hill
and Wall street could only get three
country delegates out of one hundred
and twenty-six. The city viii be even
more unanimous for Hill. Other states
will be found equally unanimous, for
the Democratic masses are finding out
the truth about Hill from the New
York masses, including the farmers.
The indications are that Hill will carry
every Southern state.

The Hypocrisy of Murray HIn.

Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot, Cleveland Paper.l
The course of the state Democratic com
mittee of New York in calling the New
York state convention for February p IS
exciting considerable adverse comment in
that state among the Republicans and
others, but it is difficult to make the friends
of Mr.. Cleveland in Pennsylvania under
stand the objection. We nave an early con-
vention here earlier far than usual by
months, and a month earlier than in 1883,
a presidential year, when Mr.. CleVeland's
friends were particularly anxious to have
this state dead Off for him. Our early
convention this year was arranged month
sooner than necessary in order to help Mr..
Cleveland's cause, and TO this early eonven-
ton we have been trying to elect Cleveland
delegates, at intervals, since January last,
beginning then in Philadelphia and ending
as late as Saturday in Blair county. This
journal has been Grover Cleveland's sincere
supporter. But what rational objection,
we may well ask, can be madesto conven-
ton called for February %, in Mr.. Cleve-
lands and Mr.. Hills state, where the can
didacv of both has been discussed and con-
sidered for four years pasta
Is there any Cleveland supporter in New
York who will be debarred of his right to
vote by February conventioul Does not
the entire state and the whole country
know the date of the conVention2 Ger
tainly none has ever before been so well adj
vertised Even yet it is two weeks before
the convention. Cannot Cleyeland's sup
porters get together and carry the election
if they have majority OF the votesl And
if they have not majority, what right
have they to complain!
1t is argued by Mr.. Clevelapd's friends
that Hill desires thus early to exhibit TO
the country Cleveland's weakness and
HIPS strength. If Senator Hill is the
choice of New York tue Democracy of the
nation cannot know it too carly. If Mr..
Cleveland is preferred, so, too, let it be
widely. known. Should not either get all

1t is, perhaps, too late now to undo the
evil that has been done to the cause of
Cleveland. Upon the whole, we fear it is.
If however, there is hope left. it must
spring from an immediate abandonment of
the line of action which his self-constituted
admirers have been pursuing. Nothing is
more certain in our judgment than that a
little more persistence in the plan Of action
thus far followed will quite eliminate Mr..
Cleveland's name from the list Of available
