" JIM"
TRANSLATED FROM THE TEXAS VOR-
W.ERTS.

W.ERTS.
BY his given name the man is
called James, his family name is
Alexander; he bears the same
given name as our excellent COVER
nor, James S. Hogg, for short, Jim
HOgg. But Jim has been in the
penitentiary; Why? He had made
a criminal assault upon a female
person and had been sentenced for
seven years. Then came the other
Jim, Jas. $. HOgg, and pardOned
him, in spite of all his hypocrite
prOclamatiOns; and because this
Legislature is Jim legislature, he
was, upon recommendation of Gov.
jim, his name-sake, the sO-called
). H., elected porter of the House of
Representatives. The black jim,
meaning to distinguish from the
white jim, who sits in the COVER
nOr's, chair, has been discharged by
the legislature, because he, the
black jim, behaved in an offensive
manner. And what was the cause?
There sat seven Legislators, after
adjournment, relating amongst
themselves that cyclone had
swept over Paris, Texas, almost de-
molishing the town. Jim (the
black Jim, the rapist, pardoned by
the white JIM remarked, in pass
ing the exalted gentleman, that
the spirit of the burned Hy. Smith
had returned to Paris to punish
the white murdererS, as Gov. HOgg
called them. Unfortunately, the
Representative from Lamar county
was present, Immediately raised
his cane, and with the words, "you
damned -" struck him over
the head. The black Jim is
strongly built man, standing six
feet, four inches in his shoes, and
could have made kindling wood of
the Representative of Lamar coun-
ty, but the other white men
present jumped at him, knocked
him down, and gave him a good
beating. Thereafter, Jim the black,
was discharged and put out. Now
comes the best: The black Jim has
brought suit against his assailants
for mistreatment, and furthermore,
leaning upon his high position as
"pOrter," which he never could
have held if the white jim had
not pardOned him out of the peni-
Tertiary. This is the same black
J i'm who was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for assault upon a wOm-
an, pardOned by the white jim,
and as trustworthy leader,
recommended to the Legislature as
porter with a salary of four dol
lars per day. All! how many
hundred honorable men are there
in Texas who would have taken
such position, but the white Jim
would never in his life have given
a poor German such a position.
That had to be a black Jim whom
he pardOned out of the penitenti-
airy so he could work among the
negroes for the election of the
white jim. And then the white
Jim issues a grand humbug pro-
clamatiOn about the burning of
Hy. Smith, at Paris, for the tearing,
raping and numbering Of four
year old girl. Now we would like
to ask our readers, who is the
worst of the two, the black jim or
the white jim? Is there still a
German Texan who voted for the
white Jim and is not ashamed of
it.
We have been arrested for our
attacks on his cOrpulency, the
Gov. of the State of Texas and put
under regular $500 bond. But we
can stand it! We are not only
able to defend ourselves, but can
be proud that the most prominent
and celebrated Lawyers in the
state have offered us their assis-
lance.
The white Jim will 90 and the
"TeXas NOrwarts, will stay, if it
plcases your cOrpulancy.
