ENEMIES or SOUTHWEST

Some alleged reputable in

counties are reported to have
lately gone before the adiutant
reneral and legislative commit
tees and testified that, to use
The words of the San antonio

resin -55y.2.550y, it is said, has been
given for the purpose Of in
pressing the legislature with
the necessity for the continu-
ance Of the ranger police protec-
tiou in the counties represented
by the deponents. While THE
Herald has favored the con-
tirued maintenance Of the ran
ger force in Southwest Texas,
it as done so for the reason
that in the large and sparsely
settled counties Of this region,
it is well nigh impossible for
the sheriffs and their necessari-
" limited number of deputies
to exercise the surveillance
needed By such an expanse OF
country Again, because the
proximity of these counties to
a foreign frontier equally as
thinly settled, they are more or
less exposed to raids by out
laws from across the border.
which it is not always pos
sible for local officers to
deal with, the CARA "re
volution" being a proof of
this fact, hence it is necessary
that some such safeguard as the
ranger force be provided by the
state. But as for the statements
quoted IN the foregoing alleging
that ranger protection is requir-
ed to protect law-abiding citi-
zens from the courts and officers
themselves, THE HERALD does
rot hesitate to declare that
those who have sworn to such
things are either laboring under
false impressions or must be
drawing ON their imagination
70 a greater extent than the
writer Of the most sensational
dime novel ever did. In their
zeal for the cause of ranger
protection these men have gone
entirely too far, and, unless
they can offer positive proof of
their allegations, they are far
worse enemies of Southwest
Texas than the most dangerous
and murderous outlaw could be.
The people Of the maligned
section should at on1 demand
the names of these men, and
force them through the powerful
lever ofpublic opinion to either
prove their charges or publicly
withdraw them.

They will have no tlambeau clubs.

They will indulge in but little ora

would arouse the Democracy, bring

But they will work quietly. and by

that the anti-silver men sent as dele

One Of the queer things OF En-
glish politics is hat the Irish home
rulers r aiding the Tories in defeat
ing the Liberals. because the latter
did not give home rule to ireland. As
the Tories are u~nalterably committed
against home rule. this proceeding Is
idiotic to say the least. If the Irish
are that sort of people. they are not
lit to govern themselves.

On the strength Of this, says Current

are computed to be worth, taken to-
gether, no less than two thousand mil

century the grandfather OF the present
Rothschilds was poor man. Fifty
years ago, indeed, the multi-million-
