ions rendered in the case, the controll-
ng opinion by Chief Justice Pope and
,nr other by Justice Gary, but both
agree on the conclusion and only JUS

"mandamus should issue, as the act
sought TO be compelled is purely min
islcral."

'"To the Family and Immediate Friends
of Alex King:
Allow me to mingle my tears and
sympathy with yours in the death that
sadly bereaves you all. He was my
comrade and friend, true soldier and
a Christian gentleman. We shared
alike the comforts and discomforts of
prison life on Johnson Island, in Lake
Erie. He quietly submitted to the pris-
on restrictions which were sometimes
very close, sometimes saying: The
Lord temperS the wind to the ShOrn
lamb. We did not have much to eat
and not much appetite for what we did
have.

the first time after he was wounded
and have that signature now He was
promoted on the army roll from lieu
tenant to captain. Was wounded at
Gettysburg and his arm amputed in

prisoner by Gen. Stoneman's cavalry.

their best orators as the first speaker,

A WRONG CUSTOM.

1t is to be hoped that Texas will
set the nation the example of not
sending either senator or congress
man to the national democratic con-
/ vention. There are plenty of men
thoroughly capable of writing plat
| forms, giving instructions and con-
Quoting convention. Modesty
should suggest to each one that it is
not the place for him.-Jefferson
Jimplecute.
Senators and congressman fairly
burn for such distinction. 1t has
come to the point, not alone in Tex
as, but throughout the nation, that
the men who make the laws also run
the conventions, write the platforms,
PROFOUND the issues, paramount and
other-instruct themselves and nom
mate each other for the Offices and
tell the sovereign people what the
sovereign people did at the conven-
ton. The sovereign people do moth
ing, or little, at the convention. They
are not there. Their part is to take
the medicine duly prescribed ans
formally labeled for them Dallas
News.
The News presents convincing ar
gument why the custom of sending
our servants to conventions should
be abandoned.-Tyler Courier.
The Times-Herald has for years
cried out against the practice of
sending our senators and representa-
tiyes as delegates to the national
convention Neither Culberson nor
Bailey should be a delegate to the
Denver convention. The men who
make the laws should not run the
conyentions.-Wa Times Herald.
Neither should members of the
legislature and Office holders of the
state be sent as delegates to conven-
tions.

number of books that have been is

of literature have been produced in

promises in time to equal that of In

Oklahoma savant is a controversial
! work of religious nature entitled
God Is" from the scholarly pen of
F. w. Jacobs. The work has created
sensation among local literary
critics and a fierce controversy is
raging as a result of it's publication.
The conclusions of the author are
summed up in the final paragraph of
the brochure, which is as follows:
Through the syzygy we have out
lined here, relative environment

affinity in the absolute We conclude
that God is and that immortality is
fact and that the syzygy of abiding

among the critics is as to the ''syzy-
