THIS NKWS.
Tho Victoria Review: Whon so prominent and
useful an institution as The Galveston Nli»s
celebrates an anniversary which marks the fifty-
llrst year of its existence, tho fact calls for Ken-
oral and sonorous recognition from tho press of
Texas, and tho lloview should havo uotod tho
fact last week. Kvorybody in this stato is or
should bo proud of Tun Gaiat.stox News, not
only because it has boon contemporaneous with
and a factor in nearly every notable event in our
statu history, but becauso it is emphatically
a great modern daily nowspapor, worth
moro to tho stato of 'lexas than a
ten-acro lot full of hor politicians, and retire-
sonts her abroad with inoro force and diijnity
thnn any othor slnglo influence wo luivo. Tub
News has, uuniborless times, been charged with
all sorts of political vagaries and shortcomings,
but tho fact is incontestable that it has, from tho
start, boon actively at tlio front in every good
work for Texas, and has pursued its course with
an oquanimity 110 abuse could disturb and a
purpose no pressure could divert. Loyalty to
tho best interests of Texas has boon tho stead-
fast aim of The News, and it spoaks woll for
our people that they havo so recognized and re-
warded this dovolion that the paper has been
built up to splendid and enduring metropolitan
proportions, and has verily become a part of the
intolloctual iifo of tho stato, as woll as ono of its
most useful material agents.
LET ALL THE EVIDENCE BE PUB-
LISHED.
Hilleboro Register: The Dallas News is ex-
ceedingly anxious for tho publication of tlio tes-
timony in the MeGaughcy case. It matters littlo
with Tub News whether or not Mctiauchoy shall
have a fair trial before the senate, in tho event of
impeachment proceedings being instituted. The
News would havo liini convicted by lynch pro-
cess rather than not at all.
How does the Register reconcilo Its chargo
that The News would havo Commissioner Mo-
Gaughey oonvicted unjustly with its admis-
sion that The News is anxious to havo all tho
tostimony published? The Hegistor is uufair
on its faco. Tub News has lusisted that tho land
commissioner has "tlio short end of tho hand-
spike" and that pains should bo taken to givo
him a fair and open investigation. In line
with this demand for a fair trial, tho publica-
tion of all tho testimony in tho case has been
called for. This will give tho people a chance
to read and coisider for themselves. It will
give publicity to everything in Commissioner
McGnughoy's favor and really aid him in vm.
dlcating himself if ho is ablo to do so. It is
inferred from tho foregoing expression of
Representative Fields' paper that he is op-
posed to tho publication of the ovidenco.
Why? His criticism of The News clearly
implies a dosire either to suppress tho proof
and thus to whitewash tlio accused or
io convict him by proeessos that tho people
will never approve. The News favors tho
publication in full of every line of testimony
in this case. It does this as a matter of jus-
tice to Commissioner McGaughey. It does it
becauso such publicity is due the public,
whose sacred interests nre involved. It does
it because loading administration politicians
havo exhibited a decidedly suspicious unwill-
ingness to have this evidence published.
They will find it hard to satisfy tho people
that The News is eagor to prosecute Com-
missioner McGauglioy and thus to turn them
against its domaud for all tho facts in this
ease. The Register's solf rofutatory argu-
ment against The News and for suppres-
sion and kindred efforts to tho same oud will
fail and tho evidence will finally come out.
Wo may then understand why they havo kicked
against tho pricks. Forsistent concealment
in suoh cases is a form of organized untruth-
fulness. It can bo for no good purpose. It
must be for some bad purposo. Tho iunocent
have nothing which they neod to conceal. If
objects of suspicion they do not shun but
court investigation and publicity to tho utter
exhaustion of relevant facts. It is only tho
guilty and sympathizers with the guilty who
havo reason to foar tho deepest- scrutiny and
the broadest illumination.

SEIIV1CES NOT CONTEMPLATED BY
THE CONSTITUTION.
Congressman Bailoy explains that he votod
for that $100 clerk bill in order to look aftor
the private demands of the voters ot his dis-
trict and to prevent absenteeism. Ho saysi
"Ono wants somothing from the agricultural
department, another has a request to go
through tho Btato department, another has
something that must be looked up in the land
office, numerous visits must be made to tho
pension ollico, and thero are hundreds of let-
tors to be anssverod." Where does Congress-
man Bailey find in tho constitutional enumer-
ation of functions and duties for which a con-
gressman is oleeted and paid any of these ser-
vices to individuals and friends? In attend-
ing to tho demands of such clients a congress-
man is merely electioneering for a second
term, and tho clerk for which Congressman
Baiioy wants the people to pay is practically a
secretary for the coming campaign. There is
no provision of the constitution that contem-
plates or requires that congressmen shall bo
diligent and discriminating distributors of
campaign garden seeds or special attorneys
for private quests. Let the men who write for
such favors pay for the services they enjoy.
This voto of Mr. Bailey is hardly in keeping
with the distinguished display he made during
his first term of congress of solicitude for
economy and for an inflexible observance of
the constitution most strictly construed.

The governor was hanged in effigy at Tyler

The News is not inclined to criticise tho
legislature for its failure to make an appro-
priation of money to build and maintain a

ally conceded that it would be better to sot
aside $44,850 a year to a charity of this sort
than to pour out this money in a golden
stream to well-to-do and Idle railroad commis-
sioners.

THE STATE PBE53.
What the Papers Throughout the State
Are Talking About.
The editor of the New Braunfols Herald
visited Austin and tho big dam last week. He
writes 1
The Colorado nvor is said to be lowor at
prosent than it litis boon at any time in ton
years: the entire flow of the stream is now
being forcod through three 36-inoh pipes which
ruu through tho dam near the west end. A
careful calculation shows tho present How
through these pipos to be sufficient to produce
a power of 7500 horse-power when carried
through tho poust-ocks ou to the turbine
wheels, and this at the very lowest stage of
the river for ten years. Allowing tho gates bo
closed for twelve hours out of twenty-four,
it would givo fully 15,000 horSo-power for the
twelve hours of each day; so it is now plain
that tho engineer who mado the original sur-
veys of tb« river and estimated tho power at
lL',000 horse-power for twelve hours out of
every twenty-four, was not extravagant in his
estimate, and still there nre croakers in Austin
who continue to assort that they will not have
2000 horse-power.
The Laredo Times says:
Policeman Miko Bronnan sponda every
night in going the rounds looking aftor the
premises of those who engage his services,
and it is his custom to try the doorknobs of
the stores and (rtlier buildings that ho is em-
ployed to look after at various hours of the
night to so* if they are securely closed and
havo not been tampered with. Rucontly a
merchant engaged him to look after a certain
etororoom which was kept closed, but has fall
uablo goods stored therein, and the owuer
failed to mention that a part of tho room was
partitioned oil and occupied by a married
couple as a residences tlierofore tho olilcor
abovo named proceeded every night to shake
each door, naturally supposing that all of the
entrances were to tho storo room iu which the
goods were stored, llo found all tho doors se-
curely fastonod every night uutii tho time re-
ferred to nbove, then one of tho doors opened
to his trial, and he immediately thought that
burglars were at work therein; so I10 pro-
ceeded to enter, but was attacked bofore linv-
ing time to do so, and warding oif tlio blow
aimed at him was about to draw his pistol to
use upon the supposed burglar when fortu-
nately a woman screamed loudly inside, caus-
ing tho officer to know that thore was a mls-
tak esomowhore, so he called out that he was
tho merchant policeman, thus preventing
a tragedy.
The San Antonio News quotes from this
paper the remark that the assignment law and
evory other law of this democratic free trado
Btate of Texas should givo all hands, residents
or non-residents, an equal show before tho
courts, and remarks:
Thk Nkws never put more truth in smaller
Bpaco. The impression which has gone abroad
through so much socialistic legislation in this
stato that w# are anxious to confiscate evory
dollar of foreign capital invested within tho
state is entirely wrong. Texas welcomes the
capitalist and tho laborer alike, and will pro-
tect the rights of all.
The Houston World says:
It may be set down as a fact that an editor
who is a place seeker is not a success as a
newspaper man.
The State Sunday School Journal requests
other papers to announce tho fact that the
eighteenth annual convention of tho Texas
stato Sunday school association will be hold
at Waxahachie Tuesday, Wednosday and
Thursday, April 18, l'J and 20.
The Laredo Times says:
It is presumable that tho people of tho South
Amorican republics never hoard of a peace
conference — People at the City of Mexico,
Americans and Mexicans both, are said to be
greatly displeased at a letter pretending to
havo been written in that city and which was
published iu the Chicago Titnes. They ex-
press surprise that a newspaper of such stand-
ing would publish so unreliable matter, and
hint that tho number of visitors from Mexico
to tho world's fair is not calculated to bo
augmented thereby. It is a fact that many
of tho big dallies aro too ready to publish sen-
sational matter without a due care as to
truthfulness.
The Livingston Sentinel Quotes the remark
of this papor, that tho assignment law and
every othor law of thin democratic atato of
Texas should givo all hands, resident or non-
resident, nil equal show boforo tho courts, and
adds:
Wo heartily indorso the nbovo extract and
only hope that Texan would loavo off somo of
its alien laud laws and snob matters and treat
other States as though they wore peopled with
Americana under a froo democratic govern-
ment, mid not as Chinamen who are trying
tho state. Solflsli laws that do not promote
immigration are ruinous to any stato, and our
lawmakers should try to pass such laws as
would Induco rather than retard immigration,
and people tho vast wasto lands of Texas.
Tho Sentinel says:
Galveston is (jetting to bo a great grain
port, second to Now Ortoaus, which should be
encouraging to planters west of the Missis-
sippi nvor. Tho amount of grain shipped
tho last six months Is a startling revelation to
many and only gives an insight to greater
things coining to south Texas.
The San Marcos Democrat raises tho stand-
ard :
This week the Texas Democrat reproduces
Colonel .1 tiliun's editorial on "Disreputable
Journalism" in full. It is vigorous and dem-
onstrates the fact that "do olo man's mind"
i» not yot impaired. It is not a little humtli-
atdig to tho rospoctablo portion of the edito-
rial profession to observe to what base usos it
is sometimes brought and by what baso in-
struments. To constitute a worthy editor ho
should bring to tho vocation superior qualities
of head mid heart. He should bo a man of
wide reading and research, of a broad and lib-
eral spirit, mid withal should possess u warui
and ready sympathy for humanity. But in-
stead of editors thus equipped, what do wo too
often liini? More blockheads, ignoramuses
and blackguards usurping the tripod! Pel-
lows innocent of all knowledge of tiio English
grammar and oven orthography, and dest.tute
of the first instincts of gentlemen!
The San Marcos Times advertises:
Wanted immediately, at San Murcoe, a gen-
oral rain. No reference required.
Tho sume paper says:
Young man, maybe you don't know it, but
they arc talking about you getting drunk, and
people aro losing confidence in you.
They will soon ceaso their talk. Three or
four drunks establishes tl.o young man's char-
acter as an inebriate, nnd the fact is soldoin
afterward thought worth moutioning.
Tho Rusk Standard-Herald stiyss
iifl have seen the account givon by The
News of tho hanging of Govornor Hogg in
effigy at Tyler on tho night of tho 1st instant.
Such work as this can not bo chargod to tho
average good citizens of Tylor, much less tho
best, W hilo a citizen has tho constitutional
right of a speedy trial, ho is not cut oil or
barred thereby in the oxerciso of other par-
allel rights. If tho governor, undor tho facts
presented to him, saw sufficient grounds to
authorize a delay of exocution that further in-
vestigation might bo had to bring out some-
thing not before developed, ho did oXnotiy
right by giving tho respite. This action does
not set asido tho sentence, but is tho proper
recognition of the rights of individuals, which
when overrun destroys nil hope of the exor-
cise of governmental power in behalf of the
citizen. If nothing new develops only a littlo
delay is had.
The Square Doaior Bays:
Waoldor is improving fast onough at pres-
ent, politically... .Sin may bo tho causo of
all suffering, but it iB not always tho sinner
that sufl'ors. Is the dray mulo addictod to sin?
fhe question as to the mortal part of tho
Savior, started by the chaplain of tho legis-
lature, has been duplicated at Waolder. The
Square Dealer says:
Not long ago wo hoard two ndults arguing
in the Sunday school the quostion as to
whother tho devil is a porsonage composed of
ilesh and bone. They finally agreed that I10
is not, but that ho has power to "turn himself
into a man" at will. Such childish frittering
as that is disgusting to,those who would attend
the Sunday school to loarn something
substantial. Wu can go to tho doli
houaos and hear the children discuss the won-
derful metamorphosis by which some grim,
toottiloss and dreaded old woman tukes tho
form of a cat through the powers of sorcery,
all of which is about as interesting as such ar-
guments as the one referred to. Make tho Sun-
day school a place of interest to all. Do not
allow it to be monopolized by the saintly big
Ikes, Givo everybody a chance to got inter-
estotrby not permitting moro than thirtoon
members of each class to taik loud at tho
same time.
The San Antonio Light says:
Hanging Hogg in effigy only helps fho gov-
ernor iu getting his pigs to market. All such
demonstrations work by tho rule of contrary
tind creato a sympathy for tho victim they
would destroy.

Halifax, N. S., April II.—Tho board of
hoalth mot last night to consider precautions
against tho introduction of cholera at this
port. The danger that the plague will bo in-
troduced by immigrants from Europe was
fully realized. Rosolutions were adopted for
fumigation and disinfection of those who land
here. Immigrants will bo transferred from
tho steamship wharf to quarantine grounds in
tho outside harbor, and tho publio will be
prevented from access to the wharf during tho
landing of immigrants, so that there may be no
contact with possible disousts gerin6. The do-
sire was oxpressed that steamship companies
should bo prevented from making this port
tho dumping ground for Amorica bound steer-
age passengers.

CIAL AliSOLU l'IBM,
Unbridled Buroanoratio Powor an;1 tho In-
terpretation of Laws by Depart-
ment Chiefs Responsible,
AurtftN, To*., April l0.—[Spocinl Corro-
Bpondonco. J—Departmental absolutism umlor
tho Texas theory, which place* oxecutivo
chiofs abovo tho law and beyond public ro-
proof, which gives ovoi' for tho torui of oltloo
public and privalo interests to thoir tinchockod
control, which refusus rodross to tho individ-
ual, the corporation nnd tho state for wrongful
and unlawful oxorcino of tfieir unlimited bu-
reaucratic power, has brought about tho natu-
ral result.
Hoar tho wail of partisanship? Mr.
Rogan said* "I am botweon the uppor
and nether millbtone of duty nnd incli-
nation. * # * No mombor on this floor
has boon a moro faithful and consistent
friend of tho commissioner than mysolf. I
made his cause my own. Wo stood upon tho
same plntforin and suckod pabulum from tho
same political nursury bottle." .
liut did not,Mr. Regan know that from tho
very woodon platform on which tho commis-
sioner stood when ho accopted a placo on the
variegatod political platform, ho served no-
tice upon tho party that ho was sucking from
tho lund office nursing bottlo the rich cream
of nepotism, which constitutes ono of the com-
plaints of this prosecution? Did not tho com-
missioner thon say in roply to criticisms:
"Yes, I havo my boys iu the land ollico; they
are good boys aud I intond to keep them in tho
land office."
The commissioner, his partisan friends and
tho groat majority had indeed sucked pabulum
from the same political sugar toat, and would
have continued to do so but for tho tendency
of tho pabulum to sour on tho public stomach.
The commissioner knew that
NBl'OTISM HAD 1jebn TOLE1UTED.
Ho know that heads of departments
habitually ignored private rights, and
when assaulted in tho courts rofused to
submit to judicial tests, but on tho contrary
took rofugo behind tho ploa of immunity
under tho theory the stato can not bo sued,
and we are the stato. Couid partisan
imagination havo concoivod that a partisan
legislature would rudely arouse from their
droam of security those autocrats of bureaus?
Ilorc is a strange and cruel innovation.
Otllcialiom is draggod beforo authority to
mako a reckoning with tho requirements of
lnw aud of official intercuts.
Was it not rude and cruol? For twenty
yours chiofa of departments, whon roundod up
in the press for yot more palpable dis-
regard of law than is now charged,
havo vindicatod their action. They havo
doclared the law would havo givon cor-
porations somo of thoir rights, the law would
have givon a speculator his rights, the law
would have injured tho public interest and
thoroforo wo havo disregarded tho law, have
suspended the law, ignored and amonded the
law, applied it and enforced it against cor-
porations and suspended and ropoaled it as
against our good friends, the votors, at our own
sweet will. So is it not rude and cruol now to
iuvoke this iuuovation upon the head of un-
suspecting, honest, Uncle Jake McUaughoy,
whose whiskers havo boon tossod in the winds
upon tho hustings from Kcd river to tho ltio
(invndo whilo his rubber stamp was at work
at home?
The ingratitude of republics is as tho dew
of heavou to the base ingratitude of the car
stable party toward Uncle Jako. Ho was its
pet: now its victim.
There may be something cynical in theso
reflections. As relates to public affairs it may
be held that the escape of ouo from punish-
ment does not justify acquittal of anotnor for
like offense. This is very hue. Then lot's
outer upon a now era. Give no chief of a de-
partment immunity from law. Demand of
oach within tho scope of his duties
EXECUTION OF THK LAW
ashefiudsit without rcforenea to results,
whether It affects his enemies, the corpora-
tions, or his friends, tho votors. Let not tho
attorney general and the governor doclaro wo
will onforco the law to protect the interests of
tho stato against one class and wo will not en-
force it to protect the interests of tho stato
agaiust another class. Lot tho chiefs who
nourish nepotism be brought before the bur
of the aenato, whothor they bo elective or ap-
pointive.
If the house would reform our stato govern-
ment they have only entered the portal of the
temple. When they stop at tho land offieo and
leave the granite capitol unmolested they have
only created a passing sensation. Come to
tho palatial capitol of tasselatod corridors and
luxurious apartments, wheroolllcuilism that tho
moment tho legislature adjourns becomes
absolutism nestles and vosts until the cam-
paign calls it forth. Take tho elevator to tho
second lloor aud ask the railroad commis-
sioners what they are doing for their pay.
Proceed higher and ask like questions as you
go. Members of the house investigating com-
mittees know and declare that reforms and
intrenchmonts aro needed, because they
openly say that abuses and extravagance pre-
vail and that the 6tato is run in debt in posi-
tivo violation of the constitution. Evon the
Harrison administration discharged officials
and suspended from pay entiro bureaus when
their functions ceased and also whon their
appropriations wero exhausted. If it is sub-
ject of impoachmont to violato a land law, it
is subject of impoaehrnent to impose tax
burdens in violation of tho constitution.
The disgruntlemont of tho land commis-
sioner was occasioned immediately by tho
disappointment of land grabbers who wero
outwitted by othor land grabbers. Also
it was promoted by the refusal of the commis-
sioner to appoint clerks friends of persons of
intluonce. Now will the legislature give hoed
to those disappointed parties, and as to other
cases not givo hoed to the army of ovcrbur-
deuod tax payors who demand an example if
also necessary to reform ? Lot tho procession
proceed.
The remote and real cause of the commis-
sioner's unhappy predicament Ib tho theory
and practice of
unbridled burlaucttatlc power
to obey or suspend the law at will. In this
caso the legislature was in session and thore
is a reraody. Whon the legislature adjourns
thero is no remedy if the iaw is defied. Under
the theory in voguo then, wo have protection
and safety ninety days of legislative session
nnd the reign of absolutism 0-10 days of legis-
lative vacation out of overy two years term.
Not only let tho prosecution proceed, but
tho legislature ought to provide a romedy in
some competent tribunal for wrongs to citi-
zens perpetrated by chiofs of departments in
thoir exercise of authority to deny tho plain
and positivo rights guaranteed by tho law.
rfo long as tho chiofs can deny these rights
undor tho plea of public interest they will
make laws to promote public interests and
coustrue laws to tho advantage of friendly in-
terests. They should bo forced to hew to tho
lino, and the only way to forco thorn is to givo
the injured person his lawful remedy. I know
tho ploa of state immunity from vexatious
litigation will bo set up. But this plea is dis-
ingenuous becauso it involves tho assumption
that a potty servant of the people is tho stato.
Let him bo voxed if ho is bumptious and arbi-
trary.
You havo under the theory that prevails a
troasuror who is honest and who takes no
chances. He follows tho law as interpreted
to him by authority. But wore tho govornor
or the citizen somo time in tho future to find
abuses in tho troasury believed to bo grave tho
treasuror could bid defiance. Only tho legis-
lature can go into that office and investigate
it. Perhaps thoro aro spooifio violations of
law that ho might commit and for which ho
mitsht bo nrosocutod criminally, but the writs
for protection against great wrongs aro denied.
So it is with othor departments. Then it has
como about that the exouuso of uncheekod
powor has grown up to bo a loglilftt tiro In otoh
government ollico, and it was very onsy to go
further and create a now department nod to
affirmatively aud openly grant it legislative,
judicial and exoeutlvo powers. This policy
lias invoked tho action against Laud Com-
missiocor McUnugliey, and it has lauded tho
railroad commission in tho federal court.
The uooplo have been misled to expect
everything from tax eating dovicos and offi-
cial empiricism, aud nothiug from tho onact-
meat aud oxooution Of iaw» by the estab-
lished constitutional authorities.
So chiofs brag bofore the people of viola-
tion of their superior indifference to law, and
wero led on and on until tho warnings ot a
political revolution suggested tho expediency
of making a scape-goat of ouo of their num-
bor.

Mine Horror nt J'ontyprlilil.
London, April 11.—A spark from an onuine
ignited kbs in a coal pit noar Pontypridd,
Wales, and causod the yas to oxplodo. A largo
nutnborof miners wero nt work nt the time,
anil the explosion causod terriblo havoc.
The exact number of lives lost is not known,
but 1100 miners are cntombod in tho mine, the
engine house is in llumos aud there is the
greatest fear that hundreds may have per-
ished. Roscuere who went down woro drivon
back without being nblo to bring up moro
thau flvo of tho dead, uud the fato of the other
minors is in doubt.
Later advices from l'onty-Pridd do not
lighten the calamity and the worst fato is
feared for hundreds of minors. Tho pit wns
worked in sections, one above anothor. Fire,
resulting froir. tho explosion, broke out in
the oaatoru scction. From this soction
seventy men succooded in roaohing tho sur-
face through the main gap of the working,
led by a miner who know tlio roads. They had
a terriblo strugglo to got out, fooling their way
through (Ire and smoke. Many woro scorched
and all terribly exhausted when they emerged.
They brought no good news as to those loft,
but ou tho contrary, oxpretssd dread that all
thoso left in tiie mino had perished.
At 9.45 o'clock this evening it was still im-
possible to obtain moro than meagordotaili
of tho accident at tho Pontyovidd mino. The
llrst alarm was given at 2.HO this alternoou.
Sparks from tlio ongino in tho four foot
seuin aro supposed to havo ignitpd
piio of ootton waste. Tho Haines
eprond to tho works, and finally
ignitod Inflammable gas inthosoam. Tlio
Haines and emoke ga-ve to tlio 200 men at
work in the seam tho first warning of np-
proaching danger. All ran toward the land-
ing. Many woro overtakcu by the Hro or
smoko and fell and wero left to their fato.
Comparatively few of tho mon in tho soam nt
the time of tho explosion ronchcd tho landing.
At tho entrance of the shaft a rescuing party
was formed by the pit sifrvoyor. Tho party
got as far as the landing at the eouui whore
tho flro started, but wns driven back almoat
immediately by tho dense smoke issuing from
the seam. Tho surveyor took tho men back
to the surface.
After half an hour's rest they wont down
again nnd forced their way ten yards into tho
workings. They found four dead bodies
wliich they brought with them. Attoinpts to
go further into the workings wore frustrated.
Ouo of the rcscuo party who vontured too far
was killed.
Tho men who savod themselves immediate-
ly after tho fire broko out woro too much eon-
fused and frightonod to observe tho positions
of thoir follow-workingmen. They woro un-
ablo to givo any clear account of the distribu-
tion of the minors.
Thoro aro numerous voluntoers to under-
take the work of roscuo as soon as possible. At
present llainos and smoke render any such
undertaking vain if not fatal to tho party
making tho dosccnt. Thoro is little doubt,
moreover, that most if not all the men loft
below havo been sulTocated or burned to
death.
Hund gronndos, barrels of water nnd pipes
attached to fire onglnos on tho surface aro
being used to extinguish tho flames in tho
mine. In two sections of the mine tho flra
has boon put out. Extinotion of tho llatnoa
lias boon followed in each ease, however, by
an accumulation of gas. nnd it is feared ox-
plosions may follow shortly.
Later—Anothor attempt to entor tho scam
in which the f'iro started has proved rosultless.
Although tho roucue party saw six dead
bodies, they wero provouted by smoke aud
heat from renching them.
Whoro the llro had been extinguished they
woro uiso unable to mako any progress, as
they could not remain in the foul atmosphere.
Tho number of mon still in tho mino can not
bo ascertained, although it is Known to bo
nbovo fifty.
Lntost.—At midnight tho flro is burning In
all directions of tho mino near tho shaft.
The service pipo, used to pour water into tho
mino, burst. The difficulties In tho way of
quenching tho flro linve increased groatly, and
to roscue the mon below is rogarded as hope-
less.
Turkish Ootrnges.
London, April 10.—Advices from Constanti-
nople show that it Is a common occurrence
for Turks to kidnap Christian girls and dis-
poso of the in to ownore of harems. If rein-
tivos and friends of tho girls nttmnpt to regain
them thoy are met with the statement that tho
girls have embracod Mohammedanism and
this ends tho inattor as far as Armenians aro
concerned.
Christians are ridiculed and aubjectod to
gross outrages, nnd if they object they find
thonifielvos arrested on trumped up charges
and aro always found guilty. It is hoped in
London that the British government will in-
tervene with tho iublimo porto to bring about
a chango in tho treatmont of Christians.
Tho situation nt Hull.

Two thousand non-unionists nro at work on
tho docks, and it is thought that no assaults
will be made upon thorn, us thoy aro protected
by dragoons and polloemen. Tho strikers
evince n vory ugly fooling, but tho authorities
are vigilant and any further attempt ut riot-
ing will be vigorously supprossed.

TEXAS LIQUOR BOYCOTT.
Effect of tho Unitod Wtates Bupremo Court
D#ol«lon.
A Nhwh roporter called 011 Mr. L. E. Trozovant
yesterday an tho attornoy for Kraucoia Uiozzu,
tho rolator in a cane of haboas coipus which lia*
boon ponding the hint three years in tho aupromo
court of tlio United States and ankod him if ho
would givo some light on tho tologram rocoivod
Monday night from Washington city announcing
tho decision of tlio court that tho liquor tax act
of thia stato was not in conflict with the
fourtooiith amendment.
" Whatever light I can givo you, in tho nbsonco
of any knowledge of tho context of tho decision
referred to is at your servico," ropliud Mr. Trozo-
vant.
What aro tho points involvodV"
I ho points involved aro thoso: Haa tho legis-
lature of tlio state th« power to proscribe in a
bond to bp given by tho liquor doaior the follow-
ing condition: That tho obligor in tho bond
will not, undor tho penalty proscribed in tho bond,
sell any spirituous, vinous or malt lhjuoratoauy
person uftor having been notitiod iu writing, by
tuo wife, mother, daughter or sister of the Dorsou
not to aoll to said person. You will observe that
the Btatute Is not conlinod In its torms to the hu-
bitual drinkor or the inebriate, nor to tho minor,
but takes in tho total abstainer as woll; in other
words, tho statuto aims at total prohibition. My
proposition is that tho only way in which
tlio liquor tralllc can bo prohibited
in this state Is by local option nudwr
an election hold for that puipoeo as proscribed in
thn constitution; that tho public policy of this
stato is tliut tho salo of spirituous, vinous aud
malt liquors as a bovorage is not inhorently
harmful~uot inherontly harmful, mind you. Tho
constitution of this state contemplates with
groat wisdom that some who may buy intoxicat-
ing liquors may becomo inobriatos, and so with
wise forethought It authorizes tho legislature
(art. It), soc. 41) to establish an inebriate asylum
for the cure of drunkenness and tho reform of in-
ebriates. You and I, Mr. Reporter, and a groat
many of our follow citizens havo not become
eliglblo and probably novor will become eligiblo
for this asylum, but you can soo that as tho good
woiuoii of tho country are natural born crusaders
for tomporanco thero is no tolling whon you uud
1 ami others of our follow citizens who are as
much abstainers as wo are may be confronted
with a notification in writing to tho liquor doulor
from some of our female folk not to sell to us
this too perilous stuiT.
4,So far from considering tho liquor trado as
inhorently and diabolically harmful, you reniom-
b;r, sir," continued Mr. Trozovant, "that in 1««7
the people of this state at a state election held
for that purposo votod that tho constitution of
this stnto should not bo amonded as
proposed by tho prohibitionists and tho
salo of Intoxicating liquors should uot
be prohibited. My proposition is that the liquor
traffic is recognized in this city, whothor right-
fully or wrongiully, as a logitiniate business, and
apart from tho proper exorcise of tho police
power is no moro subject to invidious and dis-
criminating legislation than othor taxable occu-
pations and can not bo troatod us a
nuisance por so. My proposition is that
tho legislature of this stato has no
nowor by a statuto to subjcct tho pursuit of a
legitimate occupation to tho will or discretion of
any person or class of porsons; this is funda-
mental law, and is 03 true as holy writ. A man
lias a right to do anything not prohibited by law
or good niannors. Tho %logislaturo has 110 powor
to authorize any porsou or class of persons who
may choose to do so to prohibit any person from
pursuing an occupation which tho law liconsos
and tho public policy of tho stato rccognizos aa a
legitimate occupation.
'Tho law is tho definition and limitation of
powor and nothing loss than tho law, nothing
othor than tho law, can reguluto or control tho
tight of the citizon to mako a living or pursuo
is happinoss in his own way.
"1 can not imagino on what ground tho bu-
promo court sustaius this statuto, oxcopt upon
tho ground that it doos not rocognizo tho public
policy of tho sovereign stato of Texas
ou the liquor question, and that it holds
in this case as it lias herotoforo hold,
that tho liquor traflic is inhorently
a harmful business and may be absolutely pro-
hibited or be pormlttod undor auoh restrictions
as will limit to tho utmost tho evils tliat nocosba-
rily attend it; all of which is a sort of "higher
law" that wo know nothing of in
lexas. Certain it is that wo havo
iu this caso tho first instanco on record of tho
legalization of the boycott, und if tho good
women of tho country do not avail themselves of
tho logalized opportunity hero olt'orod
for boycottiug the saloon koepor tho
fault will be thoir own. Thoy havo
only to concentrato aud serve notices on any sa-
loou keeper of an obnoxious race or previous
condition to demonstrate that th is boycott per-
mit beats tho life out of the fourtoonth amend-
ment togother with every othor expression and
safeguard of civil equality."
