New Trial OtsaUd.
The case of H. H. Childers, the
young man who shot and killed a
hackdriverat San Antonio, last
fall, for which ho was tried, oonvl-
cted and sentenced to tj>e penit-
entiary for the term of 25 years,
has been reversed by the Court of
Appeals on the ground Jthat the
judge oftbe lower court commit-
ted errors in charging the jury,
in that he did not explain to the
jury the legal meaning of the
term of ,,mallce aforethought,’’and
that he permitted irrelevant test-
imony to go to the jury which tend-
ed to prejudice the minds of the
jury against the defendant. It
seems strange that Judge Noon-
an, who has so long and so at*'y
discharged the duties of district
judge, should, in so important a
case, make a mistake in defining
the crime of murder. The Times
says thatthe testimony alluded to
by the'eourt as irrelvant wasThat
portion of the witness Rudder’s
testimony, relating the story of
the carriage ride of Cochran and
Childers with Mrs. Williams and
Miss. Standiforth, early in the eve-
ning before the shooting occurred.
It is hard to pnnish a man in Tex-
as, provided he has money and fri
ends, both of which Childress is
said to be well supplied with.
Later dispatches State that Judge
Noonan had granted him bail in
the sum of $2,000, which it was
expected wonld be furnished soon,
and that will be the end of the
case.

rid of the people's money. They
are introducing bills by the score

The papers are having a great
deal to say, after all, about the
Post and the old Norman maxim.
The Journal thinks the Post’s
explanation of the affair was very
satisfactory and should have sat-
isfied the most exacting.’
Sutton, editor of the Gonzales
Gazette, says he whipped one of
the editors of the Inquirer for
publishing untruths about him,

The Inquirer’s report of the affair
is anxiously awaited, as it may
give a different version of what
occurred. The Journal believes
that a point can be reached in a
controversy where words are in-
adequate to do justice to a per-
son’s feelings. In such cases it ap-
proves of personal chastisement.
pus inch unconscionable bills as
it may wish. Mr. Pendleton made
it possible for a selfish minority
to defeat a measure of utmost im-
portance to the state. Perhaps
one might say that In both cases
the speakers, instead of being the
partial judge between parties and
fractions, usurped the right that
belonged to the legislators over
whom they preside.

pounds the following:

Have you ever seen anything
in these columns to indicate it f
No, The Journal is grooming no
one. It is well aware that Mr.
Bethany can retain the office as
long as he continues to give the
satisfaction he has in the past.
The Floresville Chronicle says:
A magistrate at Dallas .John Henry Brown,
held throe men in $2000 bail eaoh, a few
days ago, for the supposed murder of a man
named Kngli. at a low boardiug house, and
discharged a pugilist a few days previously
who, it was publicly known, ala murder i
man in the opera house.
You are too bard on the veter
an, John Henry. The killing of
the pugilist in a friendly sparring
match was not murder, as there
was no malice, nor intention on
the part of tbe party, who struck
the blow, to produce such a re
suit. Iu the case of tbe three men
held to bail, he, with the evidence
adduoed, could not, legally, have
done otherwise. Since they were
committed to jail additional evi-
dence has been discovered which
will probably send one of them
to the gallows or to prisou for
life.

It is bad enough for a man to
be a drunkard, but when he com-
bines with his drunkenness the
morphine habit, and carries with
him a hyperdermie syringe to
pnmp it into him, he has indeed
fallen very low in the scale of hu-
manity, and is uufit for official po-

The German Reischtag, for the

Messrs W. L. Campbell and

The Journal would like to
know what is tbe objeot of keep-
ing up the order known as the
Grand Army of the Republic. Is
it a kind of military organization
which la ever to be in readiness
for active service should the ooun-
try be threatened with another
ao-called rebellion t Or la it an
organization held together for the
pnrpoao of dictating to the coun-
try who ahall be ita rulera f The
Journal la inclined to think that
the latter la ita chief objeet. That
aocompllahed it la not difficult to
aee that the leaders and promt
neat members of the organization
have an extensive field opened up
to them, whioh they can explore
with great profit to themselves
and their friends. I* has already
thrown off the mask and given
the present Administration to un-
derstand that in making appoint-
ments to offlee in the penaion bur-
eau, none bat friends of the or-
bo appointed.
« what the or
Congressional proceedings
develop the fact that the present
administration purposes entering
upon thq erection of elaborate and
costly coast defenses. In case
we should become iuvovled in a
war with auy one of the great
maritime powers, coast defens
woyld amount to nothing.

ThE Journal regrets to learn
that Mr. Louis D. Lyons died at
Austin last week. Mr. Lyons was
a brother of Mrs. R. J. Bracken-
ridge, of Austin, and Mrs. Scott
White, of Bowie, Arizona. He
was a young man of excellent
character and was greatly esteem-
ed by all who had the pleasure of
knowing him. He was the son of
the late Professor Lyons, and was
born at New Braunfels, abont 27
years ago.
AN Austin dispatch says that

sumes to make such an offer.

more control or authority over
them than has LaGrange, and she
has none.

The Judge will be a candidate
again, and The Journal is glad
to kuow that its contemporary can
be relied upon to support him.
The Eagle Lake Canoe says :
No more delightful summer resort in the
south than Eagle Lake. Good water, splen-
did hotel accomodations and the finest lake
in the land for shooting, fishing or sailing
This magnificent body of water is about
two and a half miles wide by five miles long
and contains an inexhaustible supply of the
finest varieties of fish known to southern
waters, dome! Spend a season with us and
we venture the assertion that when you re-
turn to your homes you will at once set
about disposing of your possessions with a
determination to return to tbe Lake and
purchase a homo.
The Journal grants that the
shooting and fishing is all that
could be desired, but what abont

stand them for a few days but a

The Beilville Standard says:
The LaGrange Journal aoema to think
thut Judge George McCormick i8 not a for-
midable candidate for congressional honors
and that he is weakest where host known
The .Journal is evidently mistaken, as Judge
McCormick has been twice elected to his
present position over strong and popular
candidates. Somehow the people have an a-
hiding faith in “Old Honest George.**
There is where yon are mistak-
en. His last race was against one
of the weakest men in the dis-
trict. Though a man who had
many friends, he was not regard
ed by them as a suitable person
for district judge.
The Brenham Banner says:
All hut three of the inhabitants of Taylor
have signed a written protest against the
appointment of J. H. Hutchinson, a non-
resident, as postmaster at that plaoe. The
npppointeo should not wait for his name to
be recalled. A decent sense of self-respect
should make him desiro not to go where he
is not wanted.
If that be true Hutchinson is
Harrison and Wanamaker, as
rule, ignore protests and stick
their appointees, vide the negro
postmasters at Athens and other
cities in Georgia,where both Dem*
oorats and Republicans (white) to
a man protested.
The Waxahachie Democrat sayB;
Uncle Frank Lubbock would make Chief
Clerk Wortham his legatoe. We are inclin-
ed to think this very thing will dofeat a
worthy man. Wortham stood the best
chance oi any man in the state of getting
the office of state treasurer until Uncle Frank
said in the public prints that he was going
to do all in his power to make him his suc-
cessor. Since then there is a marked change
and there is a feeling abroad to rebuke a
man who tries to do such a thing and the
rebuke may come in the shape of Wortham's
defeat.
A man should not suffer because
of the iudiscieet utterances of his
friends. If Wortham is defeated
it should be because the name of
a more meritorious candidate for
the position was presented to the
convention.
A number of executions by
hanging have taken place through-
out the country recently, and it is
very* refreshing to know that in
every instance the neck of the
condemned was broken or at least
reported to have been.

The Victoria Advocate says:
Chicago won. Well the other villages of
the United States must never underrate
Chicago. She’s dangerous. We are heartily
glad of this victory for the great west. Chi-

we expressed it from the very first. The civ-
ilised world can rest perfectly assured that
the (Jueen City wll entertain it in fitting

It was the pleasure of the Ad-
vertiser to announce last week
that Hon. H. M. Garwood would
be a candidate before the Demoo-
ratio convention for the State Se-
nate. Tbe fact was aud is grati-
fying to the Advertiser, beouuse
it is a time when men of tbe first
ability are needed in our legislatu-
halls. The next legislature
will be called on to regulate rail-
roads, to provide for the construc-
tion of county roads, to reduce to
system our educational efforts, to
determine the advisability of
adopting a uniform system of text
books, to consider if a constitnli-
onol convention should be called.
Many other important matters
will be before that legislature.
The state will need as many strong
men as possible. This district
must have her interest in the
hands of a strong man. Judge
Garwood’s brilliant oratorical
powers, his fine mental training,
his reconized probity and cou-
rage, his thorough knowledge of
public affairs fit him peculiary for
the reasouBible place.
Judge Garwood was born iu this
town in January 1864, the son of
the late gallant aud esteemed Maj-
or C. B. Garwood. His primary
education was received here, his
meutal strength and industrious
habits always placing him iu the
front rank of bis school mates.
At thirteen he was well prepared
to begin a University life, anden-
tering.the University of the South
at Sewanae, Tenn, he immediately
began a college career of unequ-
alled brilliancy. Taking every
honor that the school could give,
or his class mates confer, gaiu-
iug the medal iu a great oratotic-
al contest between the colleges
of Tennessee, he took his degree
at an age when most young men
are not yet prepared for the ltfe
he had so successfully terminated.
Returning to his natve town he
began to read law iu the office of
Hon. J. D. Sayers and in 1886 he
was admitted to the bar. The
same year he entered public life,
being elected to the legislature
by overwhelming majority over a
ponpolur opponent. Entering the
legislature, its youngest member
aud perhaps the youngest person
that ever served iu that body, his
force of character and intellect,
had immediate recognition aud he
was placed ou some of the most
important committeea of the house
Among these was Judiciary No.
2’ which had for its work the con-
sideration of ther penal laws of the
State- Ou this committee he was
first after the chairman, aud his
thorough knowledge of criminal
law made the speakers selection a
peculiarly judicious one. Mr.
Garwood was also on the commi-
ttee on constitutional amendments
—always a most important one
aud that time of more than ordi-
nary importance. These appoint-
ments indicate the character of
legislative work particularly as
signed to him. The committee
work was thoroughly done, and
no less thoroughly and snocess-
fully were his labors on the floor
performed. He returned to his
people with the uuiversal esteem
of his fellow representatives and
the entire approbation of his con-
stituents.
At the last election he was ele-
cted without opposition county jn-
dge. The financial condition of
the county was Buch as to afford
little opportunity to uiaak hisadm-
instrutiou with public improveme-
nts of importance. Tbe necessity
of reducing expenses and increas
revenue was rocoguizd aud acted
upon. Still during the short pe-
riod of his administration consi-
derable pemauent impdvetnents
have been made, especially in cou-
nty roads. Iu addition to this
the efficiency of the public schools
have been increased, aud a mark-
ed improvement has been noted in
the administration of the crimin-
al laws. Altogether Judge Gar-
wood has demoustrated au exec-
utive ability of high order, and the
only regret that onght to be indu-
lged at his re-entry into legislati-
ve life, is that we shall lose a use-
ful county officer. We predict
that Jndge Garwood will have no
opposition in the county and we
believe that the Democracy of
Fayette and Lee are familiar with
the character and capacity of onr
townsman, and that they will show
their appreciation of bis sturdy
intellect, his practical knowledge
of public affairs, aud of the cou-
rage that always supports his
convictions.
troduoed pertaining to this ons
subject, the most liberal one of
which proposes to place all old
soldiers on tbe pension roll at a
minimum of (8 per mouth pension,
with the addition of cent sent per
month tor eaoh day’s Bervioe over
800 days, this pension to be paid
to all old soldiers, regardless as
to whether they are now receiv-
ing pensions or not. The friends
of this bill estimate that it would
cost $146,000,000 per annum. There
are other service pension bills
which plaoe only those soldiers
on the roll who are receiving $8
per month, which wonld material-
ly reduce the cost. Tbe most mod-
erate of these bills would proba-
bly cost from $80,000,000, to $100,-
000,000 per year.
A great deal of the time of tbe
committee has been consumed by
tbe friends of these different
measures desiring hearings iu be-
half of their propositions. Tbe
friends of the service pension
have occupied some five or six
meetings of the committee,to tbe
total exclusion of all other busi-
ness. The maimed and disabled
soldiers, the deaf soldiers, and
several other classes have also
been heard by the committee. The
committee have been unremitting
iu their endeavors to obtain sta-
tistics as to the number of living
soldiers and the death-rate siuce
the close of the war. To their
great surprise, they find that tbe
death-rate has been much less than
has been generally supposed. Ta-
bles soou to be completed will
show that the deaths in Grand
Army ranks last year were only
5,000 out of 400,000, aud among
pensioners they were about the
same. There is a unanimous sen-
timent in the committee iu favor
of liberal legislation for soldiers,
but all are agreed that it will be
Birnply impossible to pass all of
the proposed measures at this
session of Oongress, aud they are
carefully investigating the whole
subject to determine which U the
meritorious aud the inoBt practi-
cable. A democratic member of
the committee has seriously sug-
gested that, as these pension bills
call for so many millions, tbe
Government issue bouds to the
extent of half a billion of dollars
and apply the proceeds to paying
pensions. There is no doubt but
that tbe committee is in a quanda-
ry over the pension bills, especi-
ally when it is understood that
the regular appropriation bills
will leave no surplus, and that
some provision will have to be
made if pension bills are to
be passed which appropriate mil-
lions.
Among those who profess to
know it is generally believed that
the committee on ways and means
in its endeavors to readjust tar-
iff taxation in accordance with the
pledges given by the Republican
party, has encountered unforseen
difficulties. Tbe original program
of the Republican leaders, and,
as a consequence, that of the
ways and means committee, was
to abolish the internal revenue
tax on whisky “used in the arts,
and nianafaetnres,” also the to
bacco yielding $30,000,000 and to
put sugar on the free list. Bat to
many Western Republicans tbe
tobacco tax seems just, as being
a tax npon a lux"ry, such as is|
embraced under all fiscal systems.
The free whisky scheme having
been previously abandoned, noth-
ing iu the program was left to a-
bolish bnt the sugar dulieB, the
surrender of which wonld mean a
loss to the revennes of $50,000,-
000. To compensate onr sugar
producers for their loss of pro-
tection, they were to receive from
the Treasury a direct bounty, but
to the sugar-beet raisers of Cali-
fornia or the sorghnin producers
of Kansas this piau is unsatisfac-
tory.
The situation is embarrassing,
for free whisky will antagonize
the moral masses of the country,
free sugar will be opposed iu Cal-
ifornia and Kansas. These are
the dilemmas, and it is difficult to
predict what solntion the comit-
tee will be able to find.
Tbe Senate proceeds in its sol-
emn way to not find how its se-
crets get out. The executive
session is a farce,hut it is a small
circumstance compared with the
inquisition into the manner in
wliicb«6enators reveal its inmost
workings. The employes are sus-
pected without reason and even
tbe'seuBeless four-foot walls are
supposed to be iu iniquitous
league with tbe newspaper report-
ers and correspondents, who are
expelled from their gallery on the
bare suspicion of accomplishing
the impossible. All this is intend-
ed to have some mysterious effect
on the minds of communicative
Senators and to impress the pub-
lic as the very height of watchful-
ness. The Senators, however,who
divnlge are not frightened by the
measures taken, and the public
understand that the only thing es
tablished is the necessity for the
abolition of the secret executive
session, except poBsibly in tbeoc-
casional consideration of certain
treaties, tbe discussion of which
before tbe world might embarrass
tbe nation in its relations with
foreign powers. L.

I refer with pride to my many patrons, who

as satisfactory results as are bad in any market.
