Cause Interest in This Country.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Depart
ment of Agriculture is informed that the
exhibit of milled products to be held at
Malnz, Germany, in August next is a
matter that will be of interest to millers
in this country. 1t is expected to bring
together thousands of bakers from all
parts of Germany and continental Eu-
rope. An excellent opportunity will be
afforded to exhibit American cereals, in
view of the recent notifications by Ger
many Of the discriminating tariff imposed
upon milled, as compared with unmilled
products, which was an almost effectual
barrier to the introduction of American
flour materials, etc, in that country.

ment. He recommends that II any
person be taken from Jail or from
under arrest under legal process and
put to death, the county shall be
liable to pay u specified large sum of
money to the surviving heirs OF said
person. The sheriff OF county ought
to be able to protect the prisoner. He
Is clothed with the power of summon
ing "pusse comitatus" and If he fails
to do 1t, there is no just reason why
tie county should be mulcted in dam
ages for his failure to do his duty.
This might be more reasonable If it
was not followed by another recon-
mendatiou, and that is to make the
county responsible II one not in GUS

not only indicted, but punished. That
is offering an induccment to the
county to punish, for punishment
alone will save the county

concentrations look very much
like tue military orders issued
by federal generals during the war

THAT CHANGE or VENiJE.

We cannot suppress our expressions
o. surprise that any man reared under
the educational influences of fee in
situations and local self government
should perpetrate the folly of intro
ducing a bill in the legislature by
which one county in the state should
be given criminal jurisdiction over
the citizens of every other county CT
the state; that is to say that If the
public prosecutors of a county should
consider it proper to change the VEN
ue of any case or cnses against citizens
of any other county to the county of
Travis that they may do so at their
supreme will and pleasure.
In the first place 1t is an express vi
olation of the principle of local self
government so palpable AID outrag-
eous as to excite the Indignation of
every citizen of the state. 1t is only
necessary to state that the bill re-
ferred to gives Travis county the
right to try in the way of original jur-
isdiction any and all offenses com.
mitted by mobs against the criminal
laws of the state in any county in the
state, to show how direct and unwar-
ranted q violation it is of the most
sacred rights pertaining to each
county in the state. In the second
place it would be forcing upon Travis
county duties that it would be I'M
justly burdensone and impossible for
the county to discharge in accordance
with the rights of all persons indicted
to speedy trial. the criminal docket
of Travis county is now and HIS been
for Yeas so crowded that it has been
almost impossible to insure the citi-
zens of the county charged with crime
q speedy trial. These are unanswer-
able objections to the passage of such
bill and its consideration for a mo-
ment would be a reflection on the
good sense of the people of Texas.

JOHN l.. STEVENS, envoy extraor
binary and minister plenipotentiary
to the San iwich Islands, has assumed
on behalf of the government OF the
United States to declare proteciorate
of this government on the islands.
Mr.. Stevens could hardly have assum-
ed such authority and taken sucn a
step without some information from
Washington that it would be sane
toned by this government. lie is true
that it will be a very convenient
thing to do, if necessary, for the gov.
eminent to repudiate the action of
Mr.. Stevens and recall him, and it is
also true that our government may
take advantage OF his action and APP
prove his declaration OF a protectorate.
In either event, automatically, We
are safe.

The cable was ireighted with the
saddest sentence it ever bore when 1t

prison in France it will consecrate the
prison and disgrace the nation. 1t is

much to giorify the name of France as
Ferdinand De Lesseps, in his old age

be- sentenced by court to iLLprison.
ment. He may have been entangled
by a set of rascally schemers into the
Panama troubles, but it is against all
reason that he should be thought
actually guilty. His whole life is a
protest against the sentence. The
name of De Lesseps will never be
ment oIed unaccompanied by the
honor he has reflected on France, and
ii martyrdom crowns his life his name
will be canonized by his countrymsn.

THE SPECIAL MESSAGE

Perhaps it Is right and proper that
the governor of the state OF Texas
should put himself on record 10 regard
to the lyuching of the negro raplst and
murderer by the citizens OF Lamar
county and adjoining neighborhoods.
governor Hogg does not
bear the relation OF an
individual citizen to the people
of Texas but he is in his official capac.
Ity the embodiment OF the execution
of the strict letter of the laws of the
state and there cal therefore be no
sentiment about him, nor can he put
himself in the place. of any citizen
and say " hat he would or would not
do under certain circumstances.
Doubtless as "a man clothed with all
human passions of manhood James >
Rogg wears no more invulnefaEle ar
NOR to the appeals Of swift retrlbution
for crimes which have no adequate
penaIty than the rest Of us; but as
the executive of the law, as the gov
ernor of Texas he wears
an arnIor invulnerable to
sympathy or human weakness,
stern and ineS Orable executor OF law,
as stern ana memorable as Coriolanus
to every appeal of retribution beyond
the plain letter of the law.
Perhaps, again, he Is a little too
acrimonious in his denunciatl0n OF
whole people who really did exactly
what every other people of every other
county of the slate would have done
under similar circumstances; ana that
ia, give up the rapist and murderer to
the vengeance OF the tender victims
father. But even in this we can see
how the governor has suppressed the
man i'm his demand for the execution
of the law. If we were governor "i
Texas we might doubtless think 1t
necessary to use every means known
to the law to bring the eXecutioners OF
Smith to suffer the full penalty OF
their deed, even if we had certain
knowledge of the fact that they could
not be- punished; but not being the gov
ernor and not approving ofthe torture,
we would have participated with the
citizens of Lamar county in hand
ing over the vile culprit to
the vengeance OF the mob,
for we cannot help recognize
that there is no adequate penalty for
the crime within the lids OF any Grim
inal code in the world.
The governor is right, and those
who know J. $. Hogg believe he is
also right as man and that his sym
pathies would have gone with that
mob, tor he has the weaknesses OF his
kind which in Fighting great wrong
belong more to the generosities than
the weakness of nature. AS COVER
nor he demands the execution of the
laws, and as an individual he might
do 20, but there are circumstances that
would appeal to him as strongly as
to every other man who loves his
childreu

but it is rather dangerous principle,
to de fine too closely the responsibility
of communities. The fact ia that 1t
had better for once and all be fully
undersloo that The crime Of rape Is
one without adequate punishment
under the laws and that the person or
persons guilty of it may be prepared
for any punishment.

HORRORS ACCUMULATE.

HOHhOnS AJCDMULd IE'
Horrors multiply. Three Norwegian
sailors, Anderson, jacobson and Jo-
hansen, of the Norwegian bark
Thekla, have been arrested at Ham
burg, charged with murder, they haV'
ing confessed tt at in extreme suffering
they killed sailor to appease their
Unsuitable hunger. An English sailor
was once tried for cannibalism ana &C
Quilted. There are sometimes ex'
tremities of condition in which men
are placed that neither moral nor civil
nor criminal Law can hold them re-
spOnsible for their acts. A man may
think he could not satisfy his hunger
by eating any port of a human being.
He muy think this when he Is not
hungry, but once let the knawing OF
prolonged and unsatisfied hunger at
tack him and there Is no telling what
he would do.
While we are by no means disposed
to encourage an appetite for human
flesh, and while the very fact of eating
it is repugna to the educated taste,
when the emaciated and ravenOus
man is tempted it is quite probable he
will yield to the fierce desires of his
nature and dine sumptously upon the
carcas OF lend.
Oh nj n
animal appetite, and if the dish Is I'M
known to the hungry diner, IL IS SAID
to be very palatable. In fact, it is re-
puted to be- the most delicate and
tender OF rOasts and steaks, and fit
for the able OF kings but the sentiment
figures prominently and makes III re-
pugnanL TO the senslbiities OF even
the epicure. Yet this is altogether a
matter of education. The Congo
tribes enjoy roast missionary with
great zest. The cannibal we regard
AS just above the monkey in tho scale
of human beings, and in America we
have only one race addicted to canni-
balsm, the Digger Indians" Their
appetite for human feel degrades
them below all olner Indians, and
marks the wide distance between
and the man in the "dug-
out"
But cannioalism is not the only |
horror that tells Of the passions of
men. The ministering elements to
these passions are as numerOus as the
leaves of the forest, the sands OF tie
sea shore, or the stars that bedeck the
armament above us. 1t is not the
and glazing things that
tempt us to the abuse of the higher
faculties of our nature. 1t is the little
things. The Infatuated lie, the tempt
ing caress, the inviting smile. All
these willy deceits poison and betray
purity or sow the seeds of corruption
in virgin soil. 1t is a great deal easier
to stifle the impure desires
of our passions than to sup.
press the knawing of hunger
or appease the natural animal appe-
lite. We look with horror upon u
feast of human flesh hut how often
does the accomplished rascal destroy
not only the living body with his H.
centious touch, hut the soul itself for
which we are divinely informed the
body is the casket. Every day, In
our midst, u fouler crime is committed
than cannibalism, the crime of de-
grading the human form divine, Gre
ated for the glory of motherhood, into
the toy ot passion.
