UNFAIR CRITICISM OF A LAW
OFFICER.


OFFICER.
1t NAV seem consistent with the known
conservatism of a leading Texas news
paper to attempt to ridicule the attorney
general, using as weapon Of sarcasm that
officers opinion on prize fighting in this
State, but to us it does not so appear.
The nswaperer referred to, it occurs to
Ills, has violated the rules of good journal
ism in two things; first, in creating the inn
preston that the opinion is unsound, al
though it is not attacked by legitimate ar
gument, but by irony, and, second, in be-
laboring a political opponent, using as a
cudgel his official opinion, which all lovers
of law and order aud the honor of the
State highly approve. We cannot Imagine
how q conservative paper can afford to
ridcule an official opinion that sustains the
laws of the State by q burlesque exag-
geration of its results, to the individual
officer, nor can we see how such news
paper can consistently ridicule law
officer of the State by attempting to be-
little him through such a criticism of his
legal opinions.
Mr.. Crane differs as widely from The
Statesman upon the ruling question of
the hour, the silver question, as it is pos
sible for two men to differ, but that diff
ference does not give license to The States
man to attack him with the unfair wea-
pom of ridicu!e upon argument or opinion
that is otherwise invulnerable. Mr..
Cranes heresy on silver does not effect
his orthodoxy ON the laws of the State
applicable to prize fighting, nor would we
impair the moral influence of that opinion
by attempting to belittle the man and
politician.
When an officer does his duty in sustain
ing the laws of the State, his position
ought not to be assaulted in order to impair
the value of his political opinions, but
for such discharge of duty he should re-
ceive the highest concentrations of the
press. We recognize the fact that Mr..
Crane may be wrong in his political
opinions, in fact entirely at sea without
Il rudder on the silver question, and yet be
as sound as a dollar, and gold dollar at
that, in his legal opinion on prize fighting
in the State of Texas. 1t may be that
because the paper referred to is published
in Dallas as well as Galveston that it
became necessary to pander to local preju-
dice in the encouragement of the prize
fight, but even that Is not an excuse for
a leading and influential newspaper in
Texas making an unwarranted assault
with the weapons Of ridicule upon law
officer of the State of Texas.
Mr.. Crane is entitled to all honor and
the respect of the law-abiding people of
Texas for throwing behind him the arts
of the demagogue, refusing to listen to
the clamor of the mob, aud boldly doing
his duty as the highest official, whose
opinion can be relied upon by the sub
ordinate officers and the people of Texas.
Mr.. Crane may believe anything he
chooses about silver, he may worship it as
a kind of political calf, but that will have
no influence upon conservative citizens in
from him the honor due him
in upholding the laws of the State against
the cry Of the mob to cruelty him.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-09-05

The suggestion to hold a Democratic
sound money convention at Fort Worth
to counteract the influence of the late
silver convention is not generally en-
dorsed by the Democratic press. 1t is
thought best to leave the people alone
to study the question until next year, by
which time the great conservative masses
will no doubt see the right way on the
issue and set neutrality-suspicious. Re
porter.
No more conventions until the regular
Democratic convention. There is no ne
cessity for any uneasness about the re-
suit of that convention. 1t will wheel
the Democracy into line for sound money
with sound money candidates.

IAIPURE VIRUS.

Under direction of the health depart
ment of Chicago, bacteriologist has
made examinations of the different vac
cine points now on the market. He
reports that he has examined over 100
samples, being the product of nine manu-
factories, and in more that 30 per cent
of them bacteria We're found which
would cause severe inflammation and
possibly assesses in the person inocu-
lated with the impure virus. AS a re-
suit the health officials of the city are
now buying a Mquid vaccine, having
wholly discarded the ordinary virus con-
tanned on ivory points.

REACTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA

REACTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA
The people of South Carolina are alb
solutely becoming disguised with politics
No wonder, since such fellows as Tillman
have monopolized the political arena in
that State.
The News and Courier of Charleston,
lust previous to the election of members
to a constitutional convention, said: mo
more important election has been held
in Charleston since the war" But not
withstandlng its Importance, that OF
framing the organic law of the State,
very little interest was shown in it by the
people The polls in some precincts were
not opened at all, and the vote was beg
carly small over the State.
From the most ultra and violent politi-
clans in this country the South CAROLYN
ians have experienced reaction that
goes so far that its people take no inter-
est in its constitutional convention called
to pass whole system of organic laws
for the State. This may be a natural
reaction from the violence of politics for
years in that State, and it may be that
Tillman and his set have so thoroughly
disgusted them with politics that they re-
fuse to go to the polls in the most i'm
portant of all elections.
Although they surrender the State to
Tillman, it may do them some good. If
Tillmau's past is any indication of his
future policies the South Carolinians
will have reason to regret that they sur
rendered to him so Internationally. 1t
will only be when Tillman's yoke gals
them beyond bearing that they will

FAST RAILWAY SPEED.

The New York Herald says: "The fast
runs just made ON the Northwestern and
Great Northern roads from London to
Aberdeen show the superiority of English
over American railway construction, but
not the superiority of English over Amer
lean locomotives. In fact, the American
locomotives may be regarded as superior
to the English, since they combine equal
or even greater speed power with greater
strength. A speed of more than 100 miles
an hour has already been shown by our
locomotives, and we have engines capa-
BILE of maintaining that high rate with
heavy trains. But American roads are
not so well adapted to fast running as the
English. The latter are generally level
and straight, while grades and curves are
common on the former. Moreover, En-
glish rOadbeds are more substantial than
the American, the bridges are more solid,
there are no grade crossings and the
tracks are fenced in. Again, their pas
senger trains are lighter than ours and
their coal is better for generating steam.
ALI these are obviously important ad-
vantages in the matter of speed as we'll
as safety. In these respects we must
concede, that England is ahead of us, but
not in locomotive building"

RUSSIA AND GOLD.

Russia has taken an important steT
toward the establishment of the long con,
templated gold standard by the recent
PRONUNCIATION of a law which provides
that all the written commercial trans
actions permitted by law may be CON
Guided upon Russian gold basis. With
both gold and silver coins, a nominal
silver standard ana an actual currency
of paper the monetary system of Russia
mas long been in confused condition,
and preparations have been in progress
for several years looking to the estab-
lishment of gold standard. With
depreciation in the value of the paper
ruble from 6S cents in 1890 to about 81
cents at present, Russia has had strak-
ing object lesson in the evils of a none
tary system that has no stable basis on
actual values.

WATER WILL FIND ITS LEVEL.

The New Orleans Picayune says: "The
opening of the Chicago drainage
canal, which is to substract from Lake
Michigan 10000 cubic feet of water
per second and pour it into the Illinois
river, and thence into the Mississippi,
has become q National and an information
al question.
"While Lake Michigan is wholly in
the limits of the United States, it freely
communicates with the other great lakes,
all of which wash Canadian shores. 1t is
claimed that the diversion of this waiter
will permanently lower the level of the
water in alt the lakes and in the canals
that communicate with them.
Nobody can yet tell to what extent
this lowering of the water will reach,
but it may effect most seriously the depth
of water in harbOrs, i'm canals and in
channels now navigaIble. These harbors
and waterways may be so injuriousiy
affected as that they will require expen-
sive work to deepen them. AS a cOnse-
quence there is a good deal of agitation
and discussion of the subject, and official
committees and government boards of
engineers have been ordered to examine
into the matter.
"Of course, nobody knows what the
effect will be, but it is likely that, If
Canadian interests shall be changed, there
Will be demand ON the United States for
reparation, while all the harbor and cham
mel damages i'm the United States will

be decided about the lowering of the
lakes at this time, and Colonel Poe, of

will require period of six years for the
Chicago outlet to establish its full effect
