A Practical Lover.

The most practical lover has been
discovered at West Hartlepool, En-
gland. In one of his letters to his
sweetheart he wrote: 81 wish, my
darling, that you would not write me
such long letters. II you were to
bring an action for breach of promise
against me the lawyers would copy
the correspondence between us and
charge pence for every folio OF
seventy-two words The shorter the
letters the more we save from the
lawyers"

the political benefciaries of the Alliance

People who are familiar with the poll
teal revolution in the Atlanta district
two years ago, by which Colonel Living
ston endorsed and drove from the politi-
cal field Judge John D. Stewart, one of
the most popular members of the Geor.
gia Congressional delegation, attribute
his phenomenal success to the existence
of Band of Gideon in that district COM
handed by Gideon, the Mighty Chief, in
person. Not whit less remarkable was
Livingston's victory two weeks ago over
one of the most distinguished LAWYERS at
the Atlanta bar, Judge George w. Hill
yer, who offered himself as the Demo.
cratic candidate against the redoubtable
Alliancemen. In only one county of
that populous district, the county in
which Atlanta is located, did Hillyer
achieve success. The country counties,
manipulated, it is believed by this secret
band, gave Livingston phenomenally
large. majorities, and his antagonist,
amazed and disheartened, withdrew from
the unequal contest.
1t is not known at this time who are
the officers of the Band of Gideon. Col.
Livingston resigned his commission as
Jerubaal at the st. Louis Convention,
and his successor was chosen. Oswald
Wilson resigned his commission as Treas
urer at the same time and his successor
was named.

Mr.. Wolcott then referred to the
union of the latin republics and then to
reciprocity. The latter allusion was
greeted with prolonged cheers. No OIL
cial title could add to or detract from
his fame. Mr.. Blaine was every mans
candidate. He sought everything for
his country and nothing for himself.
There was no true public man who
would not follow where he led and with
trust that Providence would long spare
him to the people. They pledged their
unfalterlng loyalty to support James G.

bound and gagged him he was carried some
distance away and bound to post. The
desperadoes then relieved him of his watch
and money, and after threatening to kill
him if he tried to make noise they left
him. Then they went to q telegraph tower
and at the point of their revolvers forced
Mcneil, the operator, to surrender. He
was taken downstairs, bound and gagged,
after which he was relieved of his valu-
ables. The robbers next turned their atten-
ton to the safe in the Office. 1t was locked,
but they placed charge of powder in the
keyhole and blew it open.
The explosion wrecked the Office, but the
report attracted the attention of train men
in the vicinity and the desperadoes were
frightened OFF before they could secure the
contents of the safe, which were scattered
over the room. Mcneil and McMlllen were

No matter who may be the choice of
the Democratic convention, Texas will
have no better governor for the next
two years than. she would have if the
nominee were Col. Richard NJ. Wynne
OF Fort Worth. It is well known that
he has been repeatedly urged to enter
the race, and spontaneous expression
has been given in his old home in East
ern Texas in his favor, but he seems
disinclined to pause in remunerative
law practice for the more ephemeral
results of politics AS bold and hon
est spokesman of old-fashioned Demo-
cratic principles, whenever the occasion
has called for utterance, Col. Wynne
has endeared himself to the members
of his own party and commanded the
respect and confidence OF all. If he
had yielded to the urgent persuasion
of friends, he could go to the
convention with such strong and en-
thusiastic following as would, in all
probability, make him master of the
situation.

SHERMAN, GRAIsoN COUNTY, TEX, March
Mrs. Smith, wife and mother of the others
who were SO horribly beaten one week ago
near the city by the negro, Sam Massey,
now in the Dallas jail, returned TO con-
ciousness to-day and tells story Of the
murderous attack by Massey. She says
that Massey came home with MIR. Smith.
The latter being very drunk soon fell to
sleep. Massey ordered coffee, and she saw
by his actions that he was bent on mis-
chief. She ordered him to leave, when he
grappled her by the throat and tried to
throw her on the floor. Finally she cried
out for the little boys to get up and wake
their father.
Scream after scream from the mother
and her two little boys went up, but the
nearest neighbor was a half mile away.
The brute knew this, and knew also that
the husband was helplessly drunk, and
with no fear of interference, without a
spark of pity for his defenseless prey, he
simply laughed in victorious and lustful ex-
ultation and choked his victim down. Bit
ing her fingers as she threw up her hands
to push his gloating, heated face away.
Finally the father, shaking OF his stupor
IN measure, rose up, and Massey. for a
moment relinquishing his hold on his vic
tim, grabbed long stick of wood and with
one blow knocked him senseless, and in
stantly returning upon the two little boys
dealt them cruel, pitiless, murderous blows.
Then he turned again to the poor woman,
and as her lips parted in a shrek of hope
less despair he brutally struck her, and as
she struggled to raise up he rained blows
upon her head, shoulders and breast and
then all was blank with the poor woman
until to-day.
The county attorney says just as soon as
Mrs. Smith is able to testify the defendant
will be brought back for trial, and there Is
little doubt but be will be dispatched by the
outraged community, whose fury is not yet
allayed.
