a Season of waiting.
Sneciatto the Gazette


Specialize the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 13.-Now that the
Cara affair has again settled down into a
season of quiet waiting, believe the read
ing public, which THE GAZETTE has by its
energy and enterprise kept SO well posted
on all the details of the various phases of
this complicated business, will be inter-
ested in learning some facts which 90 to
show that there is at least good ground to
support the theory that Cara has never
been away from Texas during all this time,
and that he has several times narrowly es-
capped capture at the hands of the state
troops.
In the first place. there is rnmor based
on such good authority that it may almost be
accepted as q fact that there is in the city
of Corpus Christi firm of lawyers who, if
they are not Garza's regularly employed
legal advisers, are at least his friends and
confdants. There is no disgrace in this,
no shame to the gentlemen in question, and
in their friendship for Cara they but share
in sentiment which in some portions of
Southwest Texas is almost universal.
There is an mistaken belief in the minds
of many who have the means of
keeping well posted, that a few weeks
ago Cara actually contemplated sur
render to the state, and that he even paid
visit to Corpus Christi for the purpose Of
getting light on the subject.
The very anxiety of his friends to prove
that he is and has been in other parts goes
to show thas he is near at hand.
The only one of these stories which has
seemed to me at all plausible is the one
recently published in The GAZETTE, to the
effect that the fugitive fied long ago to
Cuba, where he was Joined a short time
since by his wife. The lady. l know, did
quietly leave her home at Palito Blanco
some three or four weeks ago. and SO far as
/ have heard has not yet returned. The
letter from Garza, recently written to
President Harrison and published in THE
GAZETTE, comes from Mexico, and TO my
mind upsets completely all theories as to
his flight.
There is always more than
possibility that the letter may
not be genuine, but there is no
reson why he should not have written j.,
and if he did it disproyes the story Of
his fight to Cuba. If he were in Mexico he
would never be fool enough to write a letter
from there over here in his own name and
trust it to the mails. If he wrote that let
ter he wrote it in Texas.
The situation IS just this: Cara has
concluded his movement was little pre-
mature. He had not counted on the prompt
and untiring interference Of the United
States, SO ably seconded By Gen. Mabry and
his rangers and such efficient local officers
as Sheriff Shelley and Sheriff Haines. The
impoverished condition of the country
south OF tee Mexican National
railroad rendered it necessary to go
where mis- men could get shelter and his
horses could ind grass He was traced to
the rendezvous north Of the road, where he

the public she has scored one OF the most
unique of successes.
Miss MacGowan has face like a Ra-
phael cherub, rides likes a plainsman and
writes like feminine Heinrich Heine.
Her specially is breezy frontier and Texas
work, her style a mixture of Jun and
pathos, eouched in English so excellent
as to be of itself delight Her first essay
IN the line Of Syndicated matter was a Sc
ries Of mOuntaineer sketches from the
Tennessee and North Carolina mountains,
to gather the material for which she rode
more than thousand miles alone through
the widest districts of that region, carry
ing only such baggage as could be attached
10 her saddle and stopping for brief stays
at humble mountain cabins. The Texas
work. which followed this series, showed
the same faithful research into her sub
jeetS. She spent months in the Texas
cattle and sheep country on lonely and re-
mote ranches, in typical cattle towns and
frontier settlements riding the range, at
tending round-ups and roping contests, Wis
ting sheep camps and living as completely
as possible the life she intended TO depict
Her Texas sketches have scored her a
second success She came TO New York
and did some of her best work under the
heading. Texas Girl in New York.
Despite this title and the fact that she has
done more Texas work than anything else,
Miss MACEDONIAN is not q Texan, but rather
a composite product, born in Ohio, brought
up in Tennessee, with the finish of a year
in the Lone Star state AL her work is
tinged with her strong and charming per-
sonality, full Of local color and human in
terest, and is of such bright and piquant
originality as to Immediately enlist and de-
light the reader''
The Democrats New York correspondent
is, however, misinformed on one point
Miss MACEDONIAN is at present at home and
leaves shortly for Washington, where she
is TO write series of Washington letters
for a New York syndicate. Her Texas trip
viii be made later in the year.

THE Dallas News thinks it knows
what Judge Clark stands for and it
probably does. Commenting on his
candidacy for governor, it says:
With regard to the commission itself as
regulating agency he holds that the ques-
ton of its exDediency and permanency has
been determined affirmatively by the final
and irreS ersable judgment of the people
The question may be and doubtless is. for
any present uses, back number which it
would be Improbable to lug into the anti
administration campaign. But as an abb
stract proposition it is hardly compatible
with the theory of popular government 10
assume that the people may not see fit from
time 10 time TO reverse their judgmen Is
To assume so much is tantamount to assRin-
ing that the people may not see At from
time TO time to rectify their political mis-
takes as soon as they find them out.
Judge Clark's contention for an elective
commission, whatever merit it may pos
sess, is of small moment compared with his
protest against the denial of justice in the
courts and the equal protection of the laws
by the railroad commission measure as It
now stands. Were the measure shern Of
its arbitrary features and predatory pos
sibilities, it might be tolerable and possibly
salutary in operation under either an an.
poiative or elective commission.

Littell's Living Age, Boston, Mass.
In the issue of February IS a reprint
from the Cornhill Magazine, 1.-THE Mistle-
toe Bough, > IS not merely botanic study,
but also shows the probable origin of many
of the religious rites connected with this
parasite, Texans are all familiar with this
plant as it is abundant in most parts of
the state 1t may be that not many have
thought Of Its curious mode of propagation.
This writer says that birds are extremely
fond of the viscid fluid in the white berry,
and as it is very sticky the seed attaches
itself to bill and claw and the bird in its eff
fort to rid itself of the foreign matter flies
to tree and rubs the seed OF amid cohdi-
.tions favorable to its growth. The Druid
ical reverence for the mistletoe is attlib-
uted to an ancient belief held by early ma
lions that when all other foliage was dead
this green parasite was the trees living
spirit, and when found on the oak it was
especially regarded from the fact that
acorns formed large part of their food.
1t was therefore worshipped for the same
reason that the corn spirit was adored as
Ceres, the wine spirit as Bacchus. This
article, although short, is full of novelty
and well repays careful reading.
In the same number millions Macbeth, "
from the nineteenth century is a curious
bit of literary history. 1t is here stated
that thirty years after Shakespeare wrote
his great tragedy Milton proposed to take
up the theme Manuscripts confirming this
have come to light at Trinity college, Cam
bridge. Had the purpose been carried out
it is this writer's opinion that Milton's
drama would HAYS been more faithful to
history. AS critique upon Milton the
article deserves more than a passing men
ton, and scholars in classic English will
appreciate Mr. Hale's careful analysis of,
this wonderful poet.

American Gardening for February has
an article on the American persimmon, d.
ospyros Virginia, which will be a revelation
to most readers The writer states that
there are twenty species of the genus
diospyros and claims for this variety that it
is capable of much improvement by cult
walton, as has been tested to a certain ex-
tent There is also a paper on the cultiva-
ton of the tomato in the South and how to
enrich the soil for favorable fruitage. It
will surprise most readers that the aban-
doned tea culture in South Carolina is being
renewed and that American tea commands
in the tea market 81 pound. This journal,
devoted to flowers, fruits, vegetables, the
lawn, indoor plants. etc, is issued by the
Rural publishing company, New York.
