THE PARROTT PLAN.

The papers and people OF Texas
have, for sometime, been clamorlng
for a feasible plan by which good
sum could be raised for the purpose
of placing Texas in creditable posi-
ton at the Worlds Fair. In today S
issue we present plan by Col. R. b.
Parrot. 1t is worthy of consideration,
is in every way practical, and feasible.
Cooperation, instant and active, is all
that is needed to secure, at once, the
needed sum. Read the plan in de-
tail. The beauty of it consists in the
fact the ty..thousand dollars can be
raised for the Worlds Fair and the
fifty thousand for Texas on wheels as
we'll as the minor donations without
the cost of a single cent to any one.
Those who take hold and by their
money make this grand effort sue
cess, will secure at the time full con-
sideration for the money expended
by them And as the plan provides
for the applications to be Sent free of
agents commissions, the donations will
also be without cost to the company.
1t is, we repat, grand conception,
and those who habltually carry insur
ance, should investigate it, take stock
in it aud thus secure insurance in one
Of the best companies in the nation,
and at the same time ssist our loved
state in this ner hour of need.

The NEWS repeats its former sug-
gestion, that districs courts with ex-
elusive criminal jurisdiction be estab.
lished in Fort Worth, Dallas, Hous-
ton, Galveston, Austin, Waco, San
Antonio, Sherman and Palestine,
making one Judge hold the courts in
two of the above named cities. Alter
nate terms of three months might be
held in each city-giving each city
six months in the year for criminal
trials. The separation of civil and
crimial BUSINESS in the courts would
in itself be 4 great gain, and would
prevent a glut of cases on the docket.
A Judge having only to deal with
criminal cases could easily make
criminal law specially and become
thoroughly conversant with it. The
civil court Judge could make speci-
atty of that branch of the law.

etc, the counties bearing the other
half, and municipalities looking out
for themselves. The law also provides
that no par,o shall appear twice upon
the same ballot regardless of the
number of distinct endorse ments or
or nominations received, and the
form of the ballot provides that each
name on the ballot shall be printed
under a heading describing the office
and setting forth the name of the
party by which the candidate is nomi-
mated, with an additional line under
each name for the writing in Of

The carrying of pistol or dirk is
contrary to the statute, and very
rightfully made so, as this practice OF
going armed is the cause of nine
tenths of the homicides. The plea of
self defense has come to be o sham
and fraud, in the large majority Of
cases tried in the courts, as the muir
derer usually provokes the diff ,ulty
with malice aforethought, and is
watchful to run no personal risk. The
otfense OF carrying deadly weapon is
not coDdoned by its owners being
acquitted Of murder, as the otfense
was complete before the weapon was
drawn from its hiding place, and was
independent of the killing done with
it, If man should steal horse and
kill the officer seeking to arrest him,
it is plain that his acquittal of the
charge OF murder would be no bar TO
his conviction of the separate and
preceding crime of theft. Tho same
reasoning and principle apply to the
carrying of pistol contrary to law
that is a separate and distinct otfense,
and is complete whether such pistol
be braudjshed or fired in the air, or
at a man, or concealed about the per-
son. The criticism of the Cleburne
Chronicle on Senator lmboden's bill
is sophistical. Carrying pistols must
be stopped.
