A VETO DAY.

Saturday was field day for vetoes;
for no less than seven of the bills, out
of the thousand introduced, that ran
the gauntlet of the long and we'll
fought session turned up to the stars
their little pink toes before the ruth
less scythe of Governor Hogg. You
have seen what they were, and COM
ment is unnecessary save to express
special regret over TWO OF them-the
one regulating the pay and member
ship of future Legislatures, the other
validating titles to actual settlers 1t
was thought that during the lale
campaign there had been general
agreement at last that this should be
done. Governor Hugs in his veto adj
mits that he and his side, a majority
of the legi stature, were elected on that
platform-but it seems the work was
done too sweepingly to suit him.
Governor Hogg is nothing if not a
man with leaning towards exhaust
ing legal remedies before resorting to
mercy; so the poor fellows who bought
in good faith will for a couple of years
longer be suspended on tip toe in legal
darkness and doubt. But what pity
it is that custom should not make it
incumbent on governors to indicate to
legislatures just what will please them,
so that the legislatures may give
questions second thought before ad-
burning. How much time and money
would be thus saved the state and the

THE BRIGGS TRIAL
WILL COME UP IN TEE GENERAL A
sEMBLY THIS WEEK.
Its Consideration Before Submission to the
Assembly Will be Contssted-Delsgatss
to the Assembly Fill the Pulpits
of the Various Churches.

WASHINGTON, May 21-The COM
missioners to the General Presby-
terrain assembly, according to usual
practice in connection with the annual
meeting of that body, occupied most
of the local pulpits today. Rev.
Willis Craig, DID,, moderator, preach
ed at New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, where the sessions of the as
sembly are held, and scores were
turned a way from its doors. Besides
the usual preaching services there was
mass meeting in the interest of the
Young Peoples Societies of Christian
Endeavor at the First Presbyterian
church, and J. G. Patton, the veneIa-
BILE missionary torssNew Hebrides, and
counted to an immense audience of
the Church of the Covenant the mar
Vicious experiences of an unequaled
record in missionary service.
The coming week is expected to
produce a sensation in the assembly
by the debate on the Briggs case. In
just what shape it will come up can
not be definitely stated. Tho record
of appeal from the action of the New
York Presbyterians has been placed!
in the hands of the judiciary commit
tee, of hich George D. Baker, d. D.,
OF Philadelphia'is chairman.
Baker, while not the first choice of
the Briggs men of the assembly for
moderator, gave him their votes after
Dr. Dickey declined to be a candi-
date. The committee will probably
reply Tuesday on the regularity Of
the appeal and whether or not it
should be entertained, coming as it
does, direct from the esbytery with
out having gone to the synod. Upon
receipt of that report a debate may be
precipltated, although the probahili.
ties favor postponement until after
the reports from boards of the church
have been made and considered.
There are special orders of business at
every session until that of Thursday
morning next.

Special to The State sman.
SAN ANTONIO, May 21.-A dispatch
from Maria, Tex, says: Deputy
United States Marshal Bass Outlaw
and John Gillespie came down from
Valentine last night and arrested one
George Johnson, who is supposed to
be the lone train robber who held up
the Texas and Pacific train at Kent a
few days ago. Johnson has been here
for the past two days and has been
carefully watched by the local officers.
He has been spending money quite
freely, and on searching him several
new $40 and $40 bills were found un.
der the sweat band of his hat, said to
be the Identical Ell Psao bank bills
which were sent East for the signature
of the cashier Johnson had left
Valentine some weeks ago with lot
of cattle, to be driven down to Pecos
City. He returned there the night
after the robbery, bought ticket and
went to Ell Paso, doubled back, passed
Valentine and got off at Maria Friday
night.

IT SEEMS that we suddenly realize
that we have been unfair TO China.
A great nation as We are, we have
been reaping large mercantile profits
from the residence of our merchants
in China and we have been all the
time refusing to let her coolies do our
washing in peace. This is going to
be dirty linen that China will be apt
to attend to-but seriously, are we
not going little too far, presuming
little too much upon our greatness?
Our merchants at the seaports in
China are not in much danger. They
can hold a steamer in readiness for
sudden departure, they have made
their pile; but what of our poor self
sacrificing missionaries and their
wives and children in the interior OF
China, subject as they will be to the
mercy of Chinese mob, which never
yet has exhibited any mercy. Unless
we stop right here We are going to
have serious trouble with China.
That may not matter as much as the
causes of it will matter? The cause OF
war will be the massacre of our mis-
sionaries; in the interior OF China.
Even in the event of war to revenge
such brutality we will hardly stand
justified in the court of nations. We
have rot treated them fairly and
euuitably.

DIED IN THE DESERT.
TERRIBLE FATE OF A PARTY OF GOLD
MINERS IN MEXICO.
Crossing Desert Their Water Supply Was
Exhausted, and Crazy With Thirst
and Heat They Dropped Out and

Benada, a prominent ranchman who
lives north of here near San Juan

brings the first news of the terrible
fate of party Of five miners (pros-
pectOrs) who left four weeks ago for
the Sierra San Vicente mountains in
the northwestern part of this. state
near the Texas boundaries. There
have been many reports circulated in

to try their luck in the reported Ell
dorado. The course OF their journey
lay through the desert so miles and
on the third day after leaving Santa
Rosa their water supply gave out and
their team of horses was left behind
to its fate. For six days the men
lived on the juice OF the maguey plant.
On the seventh day two of The Mexi-
cans driven crazy by heat and thirst
broke away from their companions
and on became lost in the desert.

out Of the terrible ordeal alive was

THE WAY THE HOMESTEAD La W
IS DEFEA TED.

We hear good deal of talk about
the reform of our criminal proceedings
and very little about reform in the
proceedings of our civil docket. There
is q necessity of reform in our crimi-
nal proceedings that will prevent con-
slant continuances in behalf of per-
Sons indicted by grand juries until
witnesses either move away or die.
That is favorite practice OF our Grim
inal lawyers but the attorney in civil
cases are just as constant in applica-
ton for continuances when it can sub
serve the interests of their clients. OF
course they are not TO blame, neither
are the courts to blame for granting
continuances but the law is to blame,
and as it is very lax in this respect it
ought to be enforced with vigor. We
have in mind case that has been on
the dockets in one of the counties of
this state for nearly four years that
has been continued time and again
much to the hardship of the plaintiff
and at all times the court
has been compelled by the
law to grant the continuances.
The plaintiff in the case referred to
Is q widow with number OF depend
mt children. She had fallen into diff
ficulties and had by one means and
another lost in business $25, 900 and
finally she was unable to pay a judy
ment against her for hundred and
some odd dollars. All that she owned
a store building and residence. One
of the deputy sheriffs of the county
levied upon this homestead, and pro-
ceeded to sell under the execution and
by force expelled her from the premi-
ses and threw her goods and house.
hold furniture into the highway; and
not only that, the home was torn
down and moved away. The sheriff
of the county was appealed TO, to stop
this palpable outrage but answered
that he did not care d-m, that
the parties who were proceeding
against her had secured him against
all damages. She sued the sheriff and
his bondsmen. The district court
held that the sheriff was not RESPONSE
BILE for the acts of his deputy because
he as an agent had exceeded his au.
thority. The case was appealed and
reversed and at a late term OF the dis
trict court it was the first case called
on the docket and the defendants
attorneys filed an affidavit that the
wife of one Of their important wit
nesses was too i'll for him to leave
home, and again the case was con-
tinued. The homestead law Ct Texas
is the safe guard of her citizens, but
this woman has been deprived OF her
home, and for four years she has not
been able to secure redress. This is a
sad and practical comment upon
the rules of the civil practice in Texas.

Mr.. GLADSTONE was the guest of the

There were twenty thousand persons
present, said to be of the upper classes
of England's nobility, but neverthe'

Decidedly Shaky,

A trembling hand, an uncertain
step, fi~dgetiness, indicated by restless
shifting from n place or posture to
another, usually mental annoyance at
unexpected noises, are among the indi-
cations of extreme nervousness. These
seem trifling, but the health of men
and women in this condition is "de-
cidedly shaky," liable to be over
thrown disastriouslv by causes which
the vigorous might defy. To fortify
the nervous system, general vigor
must, through the medium system of
reinforced digestion, and a rene wal of
an impaired power of sleeping at night,
be raised to a healthful standard. A
guarantee of this is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which reestablishes di-
gestion, bile secretion and the habit of
body on a permanently regular basis,
thus renewing that bodily equilibrium,
which is followed by q gain of strength
and tranquility For kidney

and as a preventive of the first attack
or subsequent return of malaria dis
