CAMPAIGN LIES.


 Robert Burns said 'some great lies were never penned," which is true as holy writ, but, nevertheless, political n .wspapers during a canvass, groan under pressure to give tongue to decep- tive statements to as many of the credulous as have been incubated for n special stufiing, while lies of lesser magnitude must content themselves with lip service. Hitherto the melodies of Mother Goose, during the Hull of political excitement, supplied a long felt want for dupes to nibble at.
 Miss 0pie, a spinster of rare mental endowment, who antedates the present century, wrote book, an auxiliary to the holy bible, in which she took issue with that revered work and the com mandment upon the atrocity of lying. She held that black lies were Inadmiss- able and not to be tolerated upon any occasion, even in heated Territorial election, but favored white lies, a milder form of whipping the devil round the stump" which artful dodgers regard as birthright, and in relating them hold their auditory in breathless attention.
 It is natural for some to lie as to take whisky straight, and the blacker the lie, where a fellow mortal is con- cerned and there is purpose in it, the faster it travels and the more difficult it is to run down.
 Shakespear defines lie thus. briefly: "The Retort Courteous Lie Circum- stantial, and Lie Direct" Those given to drawing the long bow, entrap the nearer by seductive voice and beatitic demeanor. Beware of such men Say to them, if they importuno you singly, "Get thee behind me Satan, and if by batallions, take to the woods.

A notable incident, deemed worthy of more than local mention, was the reading of letter in recent Populist convention at San Diego, Cal, written by Jesse R. Grant, son of his father, U. S. Grant, who is laboring under the impression that all eyes are turned upon him. Jesse expressed his ap. proval of J. Wade Mcdonald for hay ing slid out of the Democratic party into the Populist organization. But who is J. Wade Mcdonald |? Our only Knowledge of him is that he parts his name in the middle. The present po- sition of Jesse is antagonistic to that of his father in 1873, who as President of the United States approved the bill de- monetizing silver.

The Yuma Sentinel, of the 18th inst. |, announces the arrival of Franz Oscar Toren, better known in Globe as Oscar Rogers, at the Territorial prison, where he is assigned as a permanent boarder, lodging included, for forty years. The gentleman here referred to is Q native of Sweden, and there, even in his youth, he was incorrigible-a corrupter of beardless boys. Convicted of train robbery and standing in the shadow of the gallows, Oscar appealed for execu- tive clemency, alleging that he was in- veigled into the commission of the crime by a youth many years his jun. ior. Oscar, through his friends and misguided newspapers, worked up sen timent against the law making the pen alty for train robbery death.

they are so thick as 10 almost make

CLEVELAND AND THE CUBANs.
Why the President Will Probably De-
lay Action = Wants More
Information.

WAsHINGToN, d. c., April s.-The
President, it is learned, still adheres
to his determination to take no action
in favor of the Cubans for some
months, unless the developments
should make imnaediate action appear
necessary. His present idea is to hold
off until June or July, when the rainy
season in Cuba will have fully set in,
and if by that time the Spanish forces
shall have come no nearer to sup
pressing the insurrection than they
are now, and if the information which
he may get in the meantime with re-
gard to the actual situation of the in
surgents shall warrant it, he will then
take action. He may go beyond what
was contemplated by Congress, per-
haps even assisting in bringing about
the independence of Cuba.
1t is strongly suspected that the
President has, in secret, sent repre-
sentative to Cuba to study the situa-
ton and report.
Under present circumstances Spain
would doubtless protest against the
presence in Cuba of a publicly desig-
mated commissioner, but as the State
Department has a secret fund for
which no accounting is required, it is
quite possible, if indeed, not probable,
that the President has already sent
some one to obtain information.
A rumor was current that President
Cleveland had treated Congress with
scant courtesy in declining to receive
the Cuban resolutions, which were
brought to the White House by Clerk
Platt of the Senate.
The Clerk took them to Private
Secretary Thurber, who went in to ask
the President about their reception.
He returned with the information that
the President preferred that they
should take their regular course and
go to the State Department, which
was done. This is the same course
which was pursued with the Armenian
resolutions

Terrible Tragedy in Texas.
BROOKS KILLED HIS DAUGHTER
SHOT HER LOVER AND BLEW
HIMSELF TO PIECES WITH
DYNAMITE
The Young People Were Eleping and
He Caught Them at the Sta
tion-Only Feet and
Legs Left.

BRENNAN, TEX, April 9.-At 2:10
O'Clock this morning, as the north
bound passenger on the main line of
the Houston and Texas Central Rail-
road was pulling into the little station
of Millican, those about the train were
startled by two pistol shots which rang
out in quick succession. Thoughts of
train robbers flashed through the
minds of most of them, and some of
the more timid passengers began hid
ing their money and vaIuables.
A glance out of the car windows
revealed a pitiable sight. A young
woman, pretty and neatly dressed in
black, lay on the depot platform gasp
ing her life away, and young man
was running up and down the platform
with his hands to his throat, from
which blood was squirting.
The young man was calling to those
aboard the train to know if there was
a physician among them. There was
only one witness to the tragedy, a
man vino was in the waiting room at
the time. He says that shortly before
the train arrived young man and
woman came into the room, intending
to take the north bound train. They
were A. C. Worrels and Mollie Brooks,
and from what he could gather they
were fleeing from an angry father,
intending to go to Bryan and get mar
ried. John Brooks, the father of the
girl, was bitterly opposed to the
match. Just as the train was pulling
in the couple stepped out on the plat
form, and almost instantly the shots
were fired by man standing behind
the building. After the shooting the
assassin ran away in the darkness.
Sheriff Num- was notified, and with
deputies left for the scene of the
tragedy, and then the sequel devel-
oped.
Brooks, after the shooting, went to
a rock quarry near by and sat down on
a box of dynamite, which he deliber-
ately exploded. Only his feet and part
! of his legs remained near by, the bal
ance of his body being blown to the
four winds. Miss Brooks died few
minutes after being shot, the bullet
entering her breast. Worrels wa
shot in the neck, but it is thought h
Twin recover. s,ss *
/ John Brooks was employed as tn
powder man al the quarry near Mill
can, from whence rock was taken TO

of whom are left without parental sup

to Millican from Bonham, Texas, anc

coming to Millican he had conducted

spected in the community.

HARDIN COLLEGE BOARD.
Met Monday and Transacted impor-
tant Business Grounds Back
of the College to Be I'm
proved.

The Directors of Hardin College
met Monday morning.
The most important business trans
acted was the renewal of the contract
and lease existing between the board
and President A. X. Yancey. This
contract was renewed under the same
conditions as have existed heretofore
and President Yancey will retain his
present position until at least June 16,
1901, and much longer, 1T is to he
hoped. President Yancey has been
at the head of the college since June
16, 1885, and has done much to bring
the institution up to it's present high
standing.
Prof. j. w. Million, who has served
as Vice President during the past
year, was made a party to the con-
tract and he will hold his position as
Vice President of the college until the
same date.
The board also decided to make an
appropriation sufficiently large to
cover the expense of beautifying the
grounds back of the college building.
This is a needed Improvement and
will add materially to the appearance
of that part of the college.
