The Austin Tragedy.

The funeral of John Taylor
Rankin, the victim of a police
assassin, occurred at Austin Sun
day afternoon. According to the
Statesman. the crowd in attend
ance was one of the largest that
ever assembled in the Capitol
city on a similar occasion.
Sheriff D. E. league, Messrs. B.
G. Sayles, John G. and Jas. G.
Rankin, who were in attendance
from this place, returned Monday
morning, Later accounts of the
killing do not differ materially
from the one given in Sundays
BANNER, except to correct the
statement of Rankin's position at
the time of the shooting. He was
on foot instead of in a buggy. A
pistol was found beneath him
after he fell dead, but there are
several men, according to the
Statesman, who will swear that
this was dropped by the police
man after he fired the last shot.
Mr.. Rankin's own weapon was al
his hotel, where it was after
wards found.

LITERARY FILcH1NG.

The wide spread practice of
plagiarism among orators, au-
thors and editors, particularly
the latter, moves the Victoria
Advocate to discourse at consid-
cradle length on the reprehensi-
BILE practice.
That the speeches of congress-
men, and other great public men
are often not their own is FREE
quently stated in public prints of
the country. Almost every one
has heard of the fuss congress-
man made when called upon to
pay for tariff speech prepared
for him by an Office boy in Wash
ington after he had heard fell
low congressman deliver the
speech word for word on the floor
of Hthe house and before he had
had time to have his incorporated
in the record. Senator Ingalls,
was accused of plagiarism in his
eloquent eulogy on the death of
Congressman Burns, of st.
Louis, and Bryan for the theft of
the "crown of thorns." There
are bureaus that a make BUSH
ness of furnishing graduating
essays and orations to students
and they are reputed to do a
ge36 business. A sermon fac
tory is said to exist in the 18th
story of Chicago building and
the director in charge says it of
ten amuses him to read the
praises given his sermons by the
press when delivered by eminent
divines not only of one denomi-
nation, but of several, for he
prepares UNCONVENTIONAL as well
as general sermons. In our ex-
changes in times past we have
had the pleasure of reading edi-
torials in one paper while friend
held another and saw that we
made no mistakes.
