burning of the manufacturers returns

Commissioner Peck Gets Himself Into
Predica ment.

Predicament.
The spectacle presented by Commits.
sioner Peck, OF New York, must be very
humiliating TO those who have pre-
tended To draw comfort from his recent
so-called report" While that docu.
ment was so indefinite that it really
signified nothing, the republicans have
grasped at IL as n welcome straw in n
sea OF troubles, and have given 1t any
sort of Interpretation that suited their
desire or necessity. The democrats,
while smiling at the conclusions
which the republicans have chosen TO
extract from it, have been curious TO
know what sort of information" Mr..
Peek based his report upon, and being
refused this reasonable request, resorted
to- the aid of the courts TO compel Mr..
Peck, who is n state officer, to allow
the public to see his authority for his
official publication. This remarkable
functionary was given time by the
court To answer why he should not
comply with this demand, and he inn
the public by burning the papers from
which IL is alleged he constructed or
concocted his report. For this proceed
ing, which is an offense punishable by
fine or Imprisonment, Mr.. Peck has
been arrested, and will bc prosecuted
criminally.
The whole case is certainly an ugly
and suspicious one. Peck, who was
appointed as n democrat, gets up doc
uncut which he supposes damaging to
his party and selects an unusual time

VICTORIA, VICTORIA COUNTY, TEX, Feb
5.-On January l your correspondent men-
toned the presence III the city of party of
capitalists, the object of whose visit could
not be learned. They were e. L. Barber OF
Chicago, L. II. Fitzhugh of Dallas, Lumley
Ingledew of Chicago, and A. ]. Holmes of
Iowa, and from their inquiries at the time it
was surmised that they were interested in
railroad building with Victoria, one of the
terminals, and some point on the cost the
other. However, the matter attracted but
little attention Yesterday Col. Fitzhugh
of Dallas arrived in the city, and from him it
is learned that the SurmiSeS are correct.
It will be remembered that about eighteen
months ago charter was granted the St.
Joseph railway company to construct a line
from St. Joseph's island through several
counties, Victoria county being the one
furthest north. Col. Fitzhugh, with the
gentleman who accompanied him on his re-
cent trip, represents party of capitalists
in Washington, d. c., and Pennsylvania
and other states, who have for a year or
two contemplated the building of railroad
from Victoria to Arkansas Pass, having
abiding faith in the deep water posi-
bilities of that point. They have pro-
ceeded carefully and quietly with their
Investigations and arrangements They have
an option on $500 acres on St. Joseph Island
from Wood & Allen, the owners, and will
operate under the charter of the st. Joseph
railway company A charter was also
granted, it Is understood, to the St, Joseph
railway, improvement and dock COM
pany, in which the same cap
italists are interested. They are not
concerned in the aspirations of any of the
cities on and near Corpus Christi or Aran-
sas Pass bays, but the road would, in their
opinion, be of benefit to all of the points.
Col. F'itzhugh stated that the object of
~ yi-if
was to ascertain what the people we're
willing to do in the way of bonus, andy he
will have q conference to-day with anumber
of the citizens to talk over the matter.
The proposed road will run down thef
Guadalupe river on the east side about ten
miles, the same course that the Pan-Amepi-
can is grading, then to the coast and down
St Josephs island.
For certain distance they would be COM
petitive, but would be vastly beneficial to
Victoria.
Col. Fitzhugh has had previous expert
ence with such enterprises. He successfully
managed the affairs for the people of Gle
burne and Paris in forming company which
built the Chicago, Texas and Mexican Cen
tral road, absorbed later by the Gulf, ColQs'
RADIO and Santa F'e, between these ITO
cities in 1881, after one uzsuc-
cessful attempt had been made
He states that il he finds the citizens of.
Victoria inclined to aid in the enterprises
there will be ample guarantee given DELl
proprietors, of their ability to carry out
their plans.

A senseless Howl.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 5.-The Herald, which
has always been warm supporter of MIR.
Cleveland, says of the last move towards a
bolt in New York in his behalf:
The protest of the mugwumps and doubt
full Democrats in New York against an
early convention is senseless howl. 1t is,
doubtless, the voice OF disappointment at
the condition, of sentiment there, rather
than 4 manly opposition to unfair methods.
The claim that an early convention has
been called for the deliberate purpose of
taking snap Judgment against Grover
Cleveland and his friends is absurd How
is it possible to catch mapping a man whose
candidacy for a presidential nomination has
existed for three years and longer? During
that time Mr. Cleveland has been, so far as
the persistent pushing of his friends could
make him, an active and avowed candidate,
to say nothing of his own significant ac-
tions. In what way, then, can he or his
friends be surprised by holding the couven-
ton early or latel They have, to all APP
pearances, been ready for a show of
strength at any time. If they have not
been and are not now ready, what have
they to gain or to hope for by delayl
The truth appears TO be that the element
which frantically opposes the will of the
party organization in New York is COM
posed largely of one-man Democrats. They
will vote the Democratic ticket if Mr.
Cleveland heads it, and otherwise they will
not support it. Protests from such sources
avail little. The Democratic party is
neither a one-man nor one idea party. 1t
has an abundance of leaders, and its code of
principles embraces every sound doctrine
of popular government. If the one-man
Democrats are not willing to abide by the
action of the combined wisdom of the party
they have no place in Democratic councils.
At this distance they would present more
inspiring and pleasing spectacle if they
would expend the force now being wasted
in useless protests by devoting it to earnest
efforts to select delegates of their choice,

4 Lot of Rolling Stock and the Depots
Levied On at Tyler for Back Taxes.
Special to the Gazette.
TYLER, SMITH COUNTY, Tex, Feb. g.
Yesterday evening the city and county tax
collectors, acting together levied on fifteen
cars, one engine and the freight and pas
senger depotS of the International and
Great Northern railroad company for taxes
due for 1890 and 81. The cars and engine
were chained and locked to the track to
prevent their being moved, but they did
not stay long Judge Felix J. McCord of
the district court, on motion of Judge Dun
can, general attorney for the International
and Great Northern, granted an injunction
against the city and county and turned
things loose, the railroad giving bond in the
sum of SIS, 000.
1t seems that the railroad owes the city
$1,000 and the county $500 back taxes for
1890 and 1891 on money deposited in the
bank of Bonner & Bonner when it was the
depository. The original assessment Janu-
airy /, 1890. on deposit with Bonner & Bon
ner was S112, 165. 10, and January l, 1891,
$685., 523 20, that the commissioners court,
at the instance of Col. T R. Bonner, de-
ceased, Col. w. S. Herndon, the general So
llcitor, and A. r. Howard, cashier, agreed
TO cut the assessment in two to avoid a law
suit, with the assurance of the above named
gentlemen that it would be paid without
further trouble. When the tax bill was
presented to Receiver Campbell some time
ago he refused TO pay them and threatened
to have any one jailed that interfered with
the road, as it was in the hands of the
courts.
The case will come up for trial in the dis
trict court N few days, and an interest
ing time is expected.

Florenos Ethel in Court.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Florence Ethel
Osborne, who voluntarily surrendered her
self to the police yesterday to answer
charges made against her in connection
with the theft and sale of a quantity OF
valuable jewelry belinging to Mrs. Rargrave
formerly an intimate friend of the accused
was formally arralgned before Lord Mayor
Evans. Sympathy is expressed on all sides
for Capt. Osborne, the husband of the I'M
fortunate lady, who has stood nobly by his
brids-wife though he knew beyond doubt
she had committed the crime which has
now brought such disgrace to himself and
her. Many of the crowd expressed a hope
that for his sake the law would deal
leniently with her, and that the law would
be tempered with 4 goodiy measure Of
mercy.
On Mrs. Osborne's right sat her husband
and on her left the detectives. Mrs. Os-
borne appeared to be utterly broken down.
She kept her handkerchief to
her eyes, and occasionally her
whole frame would shake with convul-
sive sobs-in every way she appeared to
appreciate her painful position. Capt. Os-
borne was most solicitous and devoted in
his attention to her. He tried by words
and kindly touch to comfort her and make
her feel that no matter what happened,
he would stand her friend.
After the usual formalities had been COM
pTied with the formal charge against Mrs.
Osborne of obtaining money under false
pretenses, by representing her husband,
was read. Hon. Mr.. Cuffe, representing
the treasury, said the treasury had no evi-
dence to offer against the prisoner, where
upon the lord mayor promptly discharged
Mrs. Osborne. The detectives at once
placed Mrs. Osborne under arrest on q
charge of perjury for testifying in the libel
suit brought by her against Mrs. Hargrave,
that she was entirely ignorant of the fact
and knew nothing whatever about the
missing jewelry. She was taken to the
Bow street police court, where she was
placed in the dock and a formal charge
made against her.
Capt. Osborne went with her and placed
himself just below her, ready to render any
assistance that might be necessary. The
magistrate remanded her for week. Bail
was offered, but was refused. Mrs. Os-
borne was then removed to Holloway jail
Capt. Osborne accompanied her to prison.

line Of action to be followed by
himself and friends in the present con-
gress regarding the tariff. His first
words were reference TO the check which
tariff reform had received in the house of
its friends at time when to waver is dam
eerous. He declared his intention
to oppose the proposed halfway
and standstin measures some Democratic
leaders advocated. He secuted the idea of
going back 10 the tariff of 1888 and accept
ing that as final settlement. He said the
Democrats had been fighting that tariff
for years and he was for
carrying on the war, eternal, uncomprising
war. At the close of his speech Mills said .
II will follow wherever the flag points to
fair trade; will follow wherever the flag
goes no matter who carries it, and l viii
fight wherever the battle is pitched"

That's What the Chicago Herald Says About
the Matter.
A Candidate for Three Years and Not

The Third Party.

A prominent third party Alliance man
remarked yesterday TO a reporter of The
GAZETTE:
"Politics in-Texas are muddled as they
are all over the country. There is large
element in the Alliance that want to organ
ize and push q third party organization
here in Texas and elsewhere. The element
has the backing of the labor organizations.
An effort is being made to have the Alliance
fight this fall under Democratic colors, but
it won't work to any extent, and the St
Louis meeting will knock all this masquer-
aiding politics in the head. What we did in
Fort Worth will be done all over the cOun-
try, and we will fight under our own colors
and not be the tail to the kite of Demo-
cratic faction. The Dallas convention Will
not attempt to bind the Alliance member
ship to support Democratic faction known
to be corporate in all its aims and tenden-
cieS and opposed to financial reform, II
such an attempt is made, two-thirds of the
Alliance membership IN Texas will join the
third party movement. The Abolitionists
etried for years to settle the salary question
through the Wing and Republican parties,
then had to organize q party of
their own to carry out the reform.
Those in favor of financial reform know
that it is useless to play any longer with
old political organizations. If the Dallas
meeting makes a deal with either Demo-
cratic faction, the Alliance membership
will not abide by it. The out and out Dem
ocratic element in the Alliance will not go
with US now, but will drift into the third
party next year, or out of the Alliance at
any rate. If any of the Alliance leaders or
papers commit themselves against railroad
regulation, silver coinage, or alien land law,
there viii be war in the camp and our third
party movement will gain strength 1t has
got to come to fight under third party
leadership and the laborerS and producers
are finding this out very fast. The St.
Louis meeting will fix platform leadership
and organization, and in Texas we will fight
the Hogg, the Clark and the Quincy party,
and do the same thing all over the United
States just as we have done in Kansas.
Whatever the Alliance may do, the labor
ers and producers have hoisted their own
flag, and we have no deal to make with any
body. THE GAZETTE should have repre-
sentative at St Louis for there will begin
hot and successful fight against both old
parties. Our party has no money, but it
has principles and grit and a great deal at
stake, as the masses are oppressed by high
taxes, scarce money and class legislation"
