of corruption must depend upon the atti-
tude of the courts and of the juries drawn
from the people. Leadership is of avail
only SO far there is wise and reSolute
public sentiment behind it.
In the long run, then. it depends upon us
ourselves, upon us the people as a whole,
whether this government is or is not TO
stand in the future as it has stood in the
past; and my faith that it will show no
falling off is based upon my faith In the
character of our average citizenship. The
one supreme duty is to try to keep this
average high. To this end 1t is well to
keep alive the memory of those men who
are fit to serve examples of what Is
loftisst and best in American citizenship.
Such a was Gen. Sherman. To very
few in any generation is it given to render
such services as he rendered: but each of
us in his degree can try to show some
thing of those qualities of character upon
which, in their sum- the high worth OF
Sherman rested--his courage his kindness,
his clean and simple living. his sturdy good
sense. his nianlinesS and tenderness in the
intimate relations of life. and finally, his
infiexible rectitude of soul and his loyalty
to all that in this free republic is hallowed
and symbolzed by the national flag.
The orator of the day was Gen. David Il.
Henderson. ex-Speaker of the House of
Re 1reSen ia tiveS. who was next introduced
by Gen. Dodge Gen. Henderson paused
moment. until the applause which greeted
him Rad died away. and then proceeded as
follows:
Ex-Speaker 6enderscn's Speech.
Cod is a nation maker. A nation. What
is It? Or, rather what is 1t not?
There is not room on the bosom of our
generous land to place the pedestals of the
monuments we might erect-it takes 50
many things to make a nation. 1t takes
wealth of soul, wealth of soil and wealth of
character. 1t takes an army of thinkers,
with great, brave leaders. 1t takes men
and women; those who can rest in a grave
and those who can rest in bronze. 1t takes
mountain ranges, oceans and springs. 1t
takes the Washington monument, Bunker
Hill and the unmarked graves of the re-
public.
We could not be great nation without
the Declaration of Independence, the fed
eral Constitution and the songs OF Whit
tier and Longfelow. Our siShs are part OF
1t; so are our dying groans. Washington

Sherman might have filed the highest Of

would not accept. and if elected he would
refuse to serve. He left the honors of the
political arena to his distinguished brother
whose ambition he would neither assist nor

He refused to stay in Washington as a

He is grouped with Sheridan and Thomas
among the chief lieutenants of Grant. No
matter what military critics may say, as
to which of the accomplished leaders pre-
eminence is to be given, most of US will
agree that in the popular regard Sherman
has always stood next to Grant.
Sherman's last years were spent in the
city of New York, where we were neigh
bors and friends. Born in Ohio, he was
quickly adopted by our people as one of our
own. He died in 1891. His funeral cere-

A JURY'S VERDICT.
Self Confessed Negro Thief Acquitted
and Turned Loose on Civilized
Community.

In the district court, Judge A. D
Land, notorious negro thief, Charles
Davis, was tried on Tuesday by jury
of intelligent white men on the charge Of
robbery. His victim is reputable negro
and storekeeper named Parker, at whom
he fired two shots and compelled him
to deliver. Soon after having been ar
rested and jailed Davis admitted his
guilt and that his accomplice was Ber-
nard Black, but he recalled this confes-
sion and pleaded not guilty. He submit
ted an abb, which was sustained by a
negro woman who affirmed that on the
night that Parker was robbed Davis was
at her house sick in bed with chill The
jury believed this woman and discredit-
ed by their verdict the fact that Parker
was positive in his testimony and he
had recognized and picked out Davis
from number of negroes with whom
ne had been purposely placed, with the
view of mystifying Parker. The case
was plain and this verdict is one of the
peculiarities of juries whose conclu-
sions are frequently as startling as they
are unjust Davis was released from
the clutches of the law, exonerated,
"henorably discharged a thief, auda-
oious and bold, who has been turned
loose on civilized community by jury
OF twelve white men. So great was the
disgust Of the district attorney over such
an unWarranted verdict that he had en-
tered nolle pros against Black who was
held as an aecomplice of Davis.

Tuesday afternoon about A. o'clock
Houston Grubbs, young man aged 22
years, was struck by an electric car on
Texas street near Mcneil There are
several versions of this accident. The
motorman claims that he was ringing the
car bell when he saw a young man
running acros sthe track, almost On the
car, when he was struck and before he
had cross the track; that the car was
running at moderate rate of speed and
that he did all he could to avert the
accident.
Superintendent Levinson, in referring
to the accident, stated that the car was
running at a speed of about twelve miles
an hour and that the car had been
stopped to within twenty-five feet from
the spot where the accident occurred.
Several witnesses alleged that the car
was running at high rate of speed;
that they did not hear the bell ringing
and that the car was almost On the
young man when he was struck. Other
witnesses stated that they saw Grubbs
standing at the corner of Mcneil street,
on the north side Of Texas street, talk
ing to friend, when he started across
the street, and he had, no doubt, not
noticed the Texarkana Annex car COM
ing down the street and he had not real
lied his danger until right on the car
when he threw up his two hands. These
witnesses thought he had been killed.
He was revived and taken to Schum-
perts' Sanitariunl. The young man is
from Garrison, Tex. His injuries are
serious.
