"AbjeCt Fcar." "

A witness at the inquest on the bodies or those who lost their lives in tho Fords theater disaster in Washington stated under oath that the attitude of the gov ernment clerks toward their chief in that building was one of "abject fear They had long known the i'll starred old trap was unsafe, but dared not complain Tor fear of discharge.
 An admission more shameful for both tho superior officer and those under him was never made. It is likewise sufii- cient comment on the state to which ho at length becomes reduced who Gc- cepts what so many hundred thousands of republican citizens this moment would almost break their necks to get a government clerkship. The hundreds of clerks in the Ford building had pre- cisely the feeling toward their chief that the negro slave had to the overseer who stood above him with the lash. The lash in this case was the fear of dis Sh"i So, PoeVuo oo uh WI ttlIoi NHeio the cleSk had family depending on him for support. For himself, he could have asserted all the manhood that had not yet been reduced by the machine and rebellod--got out of the slave gang but where would be the bread for those dependent on him? One must not blame too much the clerks who submitted to sink all the manly spirit within them and cover under the frown of their over- seer.
 But the overseer himself-the chief of division in that old Ford's theater? The use of unlimited power in time makes average men crazy or despots. Man hood ground into the dust is bound to sprout anew. The person toward whom those under him have only the feeling of "abject fear" is bound to be overtaken by retribution. When the long crushed spirit reasserts itself, it breaks violently out. Every malediction that has been uttered under the breath against the ty- rant finds voice at last in the cry, Hang himp Lynch him" Undoubtedly in the grief and despair of the moment the feeling against the superior officer in the Ford building was heightened to ex- travagance in the breasts of those who looked only On the mangled bodies of those who gave them bread. But dan ger turks always where the mental at- titude of an employee to his superintend. ent is that of victim toward a tyrant.

The execution of the murderer John L. Osmond at Sing Sing makes the fif- teenth by electricity since the law di- recting this mode of administering cap ital punishment was passed. No law was ever more desperately opposed than this one. Every method known to the legal profession was tried to break it, but all failed. The opposition and excitement it aroused at first have died away entirely, and an exceptionally electricity in New York now causes.no more of stir than 8 hanging does in any other state.

An element that often forms a
baricadure to enjOyments at a
dance is the rowdy group that is
witnessed at almost each and every |
dance that is given at the dancing
halls.
Their unrelenting and remark
able desire to raise a disturbance
proves great detriment to the
proceedings Of jolly evening, and
in many cases entirely disbands
the favored gathering and leaves
the hall to the possession Of the
disturbers.
Eager with the fire of disturb
ance, they haunt the manchester
until he is eVercharged, when he
too, will raise to fever heat, and
the result is in most occasions a
rOugh-and-tumble deal which, if
not Immediately depressed will
lead others to enter, making the
whole affair disgusting one, and
the lively spirit of the people pres
ent seems to be doomed in the
wink of an eye, the result of which
is an entire jolly spirit abandon
ment.
BOuncerS Gas they are commonly
termed) are stationed to prohibit
| any of such characters to remain
in the hall, but these disturbers
| often do their work with such
rapidity that it is impossible for

appear at the scene before their
mischievous deed has been done.
! Clubs, societies or any other
gatherings can arrange nothing
more impressive and creditable
to their congregation than to pro-
tect against any rowdy proceed
ings that may be attempted, and
strict methods should be used to
subdue these quarrelings and place
the perpetrators out of doors to
have a sOciable chat to themselves
and talk over an Arrangement
some other time.
| One does not necessarily need to
be habitual visitor to these
place to witness such proceedings,
as they are at least attempted at
every dance given there.
| Often have these happening been
witnessed, all with the same out
come.
| 1t was therefore considered a
favorable hint to warn every
gathering against any rowdy pro-
ceedings.
If one take but gaze over the
hall floor, these characters can
soon be detected, and if a constant
eye is kept on them they will soon
see that there is no possible chance
for rumpus, and in consequence
will be noticed to make their early
departure from the hail.

Waco Globe Day:
That Turkish mission seemed to
hover right above Alex Terrell at
first, but it has disappeared. No
one seems to know what the mat
ter is. 1t may be that Terrell does
not understand the language of
the country to which he proposes
to go, that Cleveland has already
said Turkey to him and he didn't
catch on. And maybe the Ross
letter got mixed up in Cleveland's
mail some how or other. This is a
curious world.

1t is estimated now that the cot
ton acreage increase in Texas this
year will be about 20 per cent, and
the crop with favorable
season, will yield about 2,225,-
600. So much for the effort to de-
crea Sc the acreage. This increase
seems to be the result of a sly fox
trick, with everybody trying to
take the role of the fox.

Well, now that we have got the

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Action of the State Legislature and
the National Senate.

The Republican senator's tried in
vain to prevent transaction of bus
mess in executive session. The
Roach investigation case was the
occasion of a heated controversy
which ended as it began, without
result. The Republicans urged in
Quiry into ROach's connection with
the bank whose trusts he is charged
with betraying, but the Democrats
would not consent. The conclusion
of the Republicans is that the DEM
Ocrats will not permit any inVesti-
CATION into the case nor will they
allow the contest of Ada for Mar
tins seat to come up.
Cleveland informs the Senate
that he has a batch of nominations
that he will present early next
week. Mckinley calls on Cleve-
land. Sir Julian PauncifOrt pre-
sents his credentials asAmbasSadOr,
and is very cordially received by
Grover. Canada will heartily CO.
operate with the American author
tiles in keeping out infectious
diseases.
The interior department has in
formation that both parties to the
ChOctaw trouble are reinforcing
and that national troops alone
will prevent a bloody engagement.
The Mohican will be the flag
ship of the Behring sea squadron,
and the fleet will consist of this
ship, the Patrol, Alliance, Alba
tross, Rush, Bear and Corwin. The
Senate's finance committee has
concluded to recommend the con-
firmation of Eckels as comptroller
of the currency.

Although he introduced Union re-
solutions in the Legislature after
the state joined the COnfederacy,
he acquiesced and received COM
mission in Lees army, and served
on Gen. Cheatam's staff through
out the war. At the close of the
war he resumed the practice Of
law. In 1877 he was elected gov

two terms. He declined a third
nomination and became president
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and

tary Of state Mr.. Porter became his

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


/ Corrected and Republished.l
The people are under many obi
cations to Judge Callaghan for eX-
planning what became of the sink |
ing fund and the permanent school
fund. Now let us see if we are still
to be indebted to him for further
explanations.
He says in his letter that he
wishes to tell Mayor Paschal that
there is no such a fund as a gar
bage fund. But there was an "etc"
fund that disappeared in the new
city hall. How simple, it all APP
pears now that our eX-mayOr can
look backwards and tell how it all
happened!
When the people voted $4,000
for the garbage furnances, they
did not see "etc.," lurking behind
the ballot box, nor did they hear of
"etc." during all these years they
have waited for the garbage fur
naces. The aldermen who went
on trips to look at garbage fur
naces, did it for "etc." The lot pur-
chased was for an "etc."
But "etc." got in his work, and
by quick duck of the head disap-
peared from sight, in the city hall
job.
Judge Callaghan had better make
an open confession, and devote his
talents to the county affairs here
after. Mr.Paschal and the new coun-
Gil, have a serious task before them.
They must make good the Micaw-
Der notes in the sinking fund; they
must secure the permanent school
fund. and raise "etc.0 sufficiently to
build the garbage furnaces.
Judge Callaghan's letter was in
| tended as an answer to Mayor Pas
chal's plain expose of the financial
condition of the city, but really,
when taken to pieces and held up
| to the light is very thin.
