Anson's Colts Coming.

In response today TO query from
a news reporter as to his homeward
bound dates, Captain Arson said {:
"We will leave here next Tuesday
night, April 9, for San Antonio,
playing there the following day,
and perhaps the one after also.
Austin is our next stand. On Sat-
urday we play in Fort Worth, and
Easter Sunday will see us in Dallas
against Ted SulliVan's young leag-
uers. We may play in Sherman on
the 18th, and our exhibition closes
at Little Rock the next day. We
are due in st. Louis on April 18th,
the day before the national league
championship season opens. After
playing the Browns we visit Louis
vile and Cincinnati, and after that
we are at home for long stay.
The boys are doing very nicely,
and when we finish the circuit and
head northward there won't be a
team in the league in such good
physical condition as ours is"

hosts with victory. At dark the
fight was declared of until
the following day. The Sun
day fight, however, had been
dearly won at an immense sacrifi, e
OF precious lines, and despite the
fact that victory was theirs, there
went up a cry Of lamentation
throughout the entire Southern
Camp, for it was known that a
great man had fallen and that Cen
eral Albert Sydney johnson had
yielded up his life for the cause he
had espoused and that all southern
men and women held so dear.
General Johnston was fatally
wounded at 2 o'clock on the after
noon of Sunday, and General Beau
regard, being the ranking officer,
assumed command.
The remainder Of the story is
easily told. When Monday morn
ing came, the Northern troops
were ready for the fight, for they
in the meantime had been strongly
reinforced by the arrival Of Buell's
divisions, and contest so unequal
in its proportions had only one
ending. Southern courage could
not avail against such prodigious
odds, and when the end Of the day
came it saw the southern army
beaten, but not discouraged.

In response TO your query, we win
say that We sincerely believe with you
that the criminal laws OF the state
need reforming. They remind us OF
the Democratic platform--read as well
from one end as the other and make
about as much sense. As they stand
now, no lawyer on this side OF eternity
can read one. and after he gets
through. tell you whether he has been
reading n dime novel or discourse
on prize lighting, Consequently, hum
dreds OF loopholes are left for the
criminal TO escape Justice. We believe
the laws should be slmplined-made
so plain that any one who has sense
enough TO read can understand them.
That the farmer can read and under
stand them, without having TO nay
some little expert attorney, who lives
upon tho ignorance OF the people and
the 'iumbled up condition OF the
laws, TO interpret them for him. Next
to reforming the laws. we believe the
professional juiymen should be kicked
out and honest men nut In their places;
competent Judges should be put IN the
places OF a great many OF the old.

The chief trouble with our criminal
laws IL to be found In the code OF
criminal procedure Some OF the CHER
defects In our Judgment would be much
helped by the following corrections;
I. By limiting the charter OF ultimate
appeals.
q By limiting more effectually the
discretionary power OF trial Judges,
3. BY abolishing the power OF higher
courts to make rules for lower courts
and thereby making technicalities by
which cases may be reversed.
4. BY absolutely prohibiting courts OF
last resort from reversing except for
error of substance either Of law or
fact. thereby putting the simple crimi-
nal tricksters out Of a job, (and there
by helping to elevate the professional
and allowing each court TO prescribe
Its own rules. not inconsistent with
fundamental principles of justice.
The trivial work Of a court OF last
resort, testing case by how n fact

work OF children, not great men. There
are other acts OF our criminal law In
the line of many laws made criminal
in the interest OF either individuals or

should be taken, thereby lowering the
