SHERIFF OLIVE MURDERED.
Shot Down at Night by an Assassin
at Echo.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, Sept. IL
Early this morning news reached here
that Sheriff John T. Olive had been
dangerously and probably fatally
wounded at Echo, in Bell county, last
night by receiving the contents of a
shotgun In the body while waiting on
the platform for the south bound
train. Great crowds of people stood
around the telephone all day, talking
to parties at TAYLOR, where Mr.. Olive
now lies in dying condition. His
family has gone to his bedside. John
7. Olive is about 40 years of age and
has lived in this county since boy
hood. lie was elected sheriff of this
county in 1884 and reelected in 1886.
In 1888 he refused to make the race,
but was again elected in 1890 and is
now the nominee of the Democratic
party for reelection Perhaps he has
caused more criminals to be brought
to justice than any man of his age
in the State.

Bureau Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The cot
ton report of the department of agri-
culture indicates lower condition of
the crop than in any report since 1888.
The average is 1853 against S27 last
year, and S5.5 in 1890. The decline
since Aug. exceeds 5 points. State
averages are: Virginia rs, North
Carolina rs, South Carolina II, Geor-
gia 70, Florida &C, Alabama 72, Miss
issippi Y, Louisiana 66, Texas 81, Ar
kansas 70, Tennessee 70. On the At
lantic coast the rainfall of the season
has not been excessive, but unqueally
distributed. Heavy rains in the early
season followed by drouth later has
caused shedding of leaves, premature
ripening and rotting of bolls. Delay
ed planting, slow termination and
obstructed cultivation were the results
of a season of excessive precipitation,
making the crop universally late on
the gulf coast. The rainfall has been
about nominal, except in Texas and
Arkansas, and the condition is con-
sequently worseeast Of the Mississippi
In August last local drouths were
injurious on portions of the Atlantic
coast and in some districts of Arkan-
sas and Texas Rust, the natural re-
suit of these conditions, is reported
quite general in the districts of irreg-
ular rainfall. Considerable complaint
is made of insect depredations. The
boil worm has infested the gulf coast
region, and seen in Georgia, but it is
little known in the more northern belt.
The caterpillar is noted in Texas and
Alabama, and some complaint is made
of grasshoppers and Of insects popul-
arly known as sharpshooters.

equal to the emergency, whatever it
may bring forth.

The Saa: There will be no foolery
about the publication of the cholera
reports here, if unhappily that pest
shall be brought into the city. There
viii be no concealment of the facts.
We shall publish them without delay.
This service is due to the truth. Ii is
due to the community. 1t will inure
to the public advantage. 1t will be of
especial value as means of prevent
ing the spread of the cholera.
The Times; 1t is the opinion Of
medical men who are authorities on
the matter of public health that the
present danger of an invasion Of chol-
era is sufficiently grave and imminent
TO warrant the summoning Of congress
for the purpose of arming the execut-
i've with the necessary powers. 1t is
our judgement that no less rigorous
measure will suffice to keep out the
cholera this year and next year.
President Harrison, we trust, will be
able to see the necessity of immediate
action.
Pittsburg Dispatch; 1t is said that
Mr.. Harrison has not the power to
stop immigration That is a pitiful
plea. If it should be done he has the
power, and it is his duty to do it.
Should he exceed the limits Of his
executive authority congress, with the
public appreciation, will promptly in
demnify him. When an enemy more
terrible than an armed host is at the
ports of the country it is not the time
for a man Of capacity or decision of
character to split hairs or wait till the
invader gets Judgement.
The Tribune: The grotesque i'm
becility of the London quarantine
arrangements whole city is now de-
ploring, and the disgrace of the Ham
burg official whose foolish conceal
ment of the facts led to the spread of
the plague in Germany should contain
salutary lesson for all Americans.
With the Hamburg mortality in mind
and the story of 100000 deaths in
Russia none can complain of the lack
of notice. On former occasions the
plague has advanced with slow and
steady steps on unsuspecting COM
munities, i'll prepared to evade it.
The Herald; There is no question
that the President should have such
power, to be exercised at any time in
case of an emergency when the public
safety demands it. 1t is far wiser and
safer to keep an epidemic at a distance
than to fight it at our doors. 1t isl
simply reckless to permit an ocean
traffic in ravagipg disease. No CON
sideration Of humanity, national hos
pitality or public policy dictates that
vessels be allowed to bring to our
shores infected living cargoes from
plague stricken ports National de-
Tense is essential to national existence.

THE CHOLERA sCoURGE.
Newspaper Opinions Concerning the
Situation.


Situation.
Boston Traveller: The situation is
certainly a seriously threatening one,
probably the most so for years, and if
the President has no power to meet
the emergency no time should be lost
in calling Congress together in order
to meet such emergency.
Philadelphia Record: If it be de-
sirable to arrest the enormous tide of
immigration from Europe this is a
proposition that should stand on its
own merits. But the cholera should
not be made a grim and ghastly cover
for warfare upon immigration.
Washington Star: The view is
taken that anything short of absolute
stoppage of immigration for time
and the closing of the gateways
against all comers is halfway meas
ure, which may be regretted in terror
and in mourning when it is too late.
Philadelphia Press: Under such
circumstances the restriction of immi-
grafton is all the more important.
The President has shown his apprecia-
tion of the Importance of the situation
by returning at once to Washington.
He can be depended upon to do the
wise thing.
The Recorder: New York is stern
ly guarded. Never in all its history
has there been the unanimity between
every department of our common gov
ernment, National, State and muni-
cipal, that exists at the present time.
In that union there is strength
strength to avert danger, to save life.
The World: An ounce of preven-
ton is better than pound of cure,
and it is time when no citizen should
complain ofany Inconvenience or even
business loss to which the precaution-
ary measures taken may subject him.
1t is time to sink all individual in
terests in consideration of the public
welfare. 9
The Advertiser: Our improved
sanitation is a splendid defense. Our
climate is on our side. The frost has
always checked the disease here, as it
checks yellow fever. We are now
within six weeks of frost. Our health
board seems to be acting with intelli-
gent promptness. Let all citizens
read and comply with their sugges-
tions as to cleanliness aud diet.
Philadelphia Times: There is no
occasion for panic about the cholera,
but there is absolute need of the en-
forcement of the best sanitary regu-
lations throughout the entire city.
Cleanliness is the greatest hindrance
to epidemic cholera, and every one
who aids to cleanse the filthy sections
of Philadelphia will do just so much
good for the entire community.
The Press We repeat that the
Presidents wise and patriotic course
in cutting short his vacation and re-
turning at once to Washington is a
signal, not for fear, but for hope. 1t
is sign that a strong hand is at the
helm, with cool head controlling it.
The Presidents speech will, we be-
lieve, convince the public that he is

KANSAS RATS.

Kansas democrats are IN q hopeless
minority except when they effect flu
sion with third party aud then they
are uniformly defeated. But Kansas
democrats have shown themselves TO
possess something of conscience and
principle. In nuInerously attended
convention Yesterday the act OF the
party in consolidating with the peo-
pies party on the state ticket was de-
nounced as . "crims unpsrallel ed in
the political history of the state, and
In violation of every conception of
principle and against the precepts and
practices of the party" The resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted, and
the convention adjourned, leaving
every democrat to the exercise Of his
own judgment in voting Tor state OIL
GERS.
The fusion in Kansas is not one whit
more Illuminating to true dem ocrats
than the jobbery in Michigan. The
endorsement OF Ellis and Newton is as
much q political crime, if the outra &c
Of principle is a crime, as the endorse
ment IN Kansas. The miserable ex-
change Of places on tickets IN Kent
county ls so barren OF principle that IT
would dignity the act to call it crime.
Democrats hang their heads in shame
at tins mention of their tickets in this
district. Yet they submit in silence to
tho outrage of their conscisnces. True
democrats will welcome the opportu-
nifty to express their disapprovai OF
this high-nanded prostitution Of prin-
ciples at the ballot box, and what the
Kansans have done before the cleo
ton the Wolverines will do on cleo
ton day.
