The Farmers' Alliance ot Erath
eounty has put a full ticket in the
field for county officers. Still it is
aaid there is no politics in the al-
liance. The alliance itself is all
right if the farmers were not mis-
led by politicians and political
demagogues.

As A general thing the strikes
are ceasing, and it is to be hoped
we will have a season of rest from
strikes for a sufficient time to al-
low the business of tbo country to
recover. The lack of ability to
buy is the real cau^c of the de-
pression in trade; it is not over-
production.

Tub admission of Mrs. Carrie
Burnham Kilgore te the bar of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, is
a triumph after a long struggle in
that state for the recognition of
the principle that the woman who
wants to practice law has a right
to whatever practice she can get.
There ia no doubt about this what*
ever, and there ought to be no op-
position to it. Nearly eveiywbere
it is practically conceded, and any
number of ladiee have started out
to be lawyers. But what becomes
of them?

aehdol houses and chnrchas, the

The Austin Statesman says the
in Galveston ought to lay
an extra supply of Bibles be*
s,   the oonvention. Does the
Stateaman think that the members
of the State Democratic conven-
to be elected, are too
poor to buy Bibles or have
none at home? Such a slam at
Democracy of Texas should
be tolerated. There's Dan
, the grand sachem of the
Texas Democracy, who has a Bible
over 190 years old. Bill Sterrett,
of Dallas, has a bushel of Bibles,
but be ,is too modest to say any*
thing about 'em. The woods are
fall of Bibles, but the boys don't
read them as much as they should.

M
a court-boom tragedy.
The above is the caption of a
state special in the Galveston
Mews. Briefly stated the case is this:
The mayor'* court at Hearne was
in session for the trial of a number
of colored women of easy virtue.
Bal Geiger, a notorious and bad
negro, a lawyer, was in the court-
room lor the ostensible purpose of
defending the women; O. D. Can-
non, a lawyer of the city • was en-
gaged in the prosecution. Somo
words ot a not very complimentary
nature were indulged in and Can-
non drew his pistol firing five
shots into Geiger, wounding him
mortally. Here we have a full
statement of the case and the ques-
tion may well be asked, What is
the meaning of the state laws of
Texas ? Do they afford any pro-
tection to law-abiding citizens or
are they a complete farce. So far
as Geiger and Cannon are con-
cerned they are but two individ-
uals, a negro and a white man, they
have a local celebrity, and are but
two men out of upward of two or
three million citizens of the state.
This case presents two glaring
wrongs. If the negro was the no-
torious and bad character that ho
is represented to be, why in the
name of common decency had he
not boen convicted by tho courts
of the state and put out of harm's
way bj* confining him in the peni-
tentiary or county jail. The next
quostion that presents itself is this.
What was Cannon doing in open
court with a pistol upon his per-
son? Is a courtroom such a dan-
gerous place that a lawyer or a
private citizen must needs go into
t armed to the teeth with a doadly
revolver. Is it not getting to be
about time that public opinion de-
manded a better enforcement of
the law ? If there is to be no en-
forcement of law then every man
will have to arm himself and de-
pend upon bis expertness with
gun, pistol or club for self-defense,
but such a condition of affairs is
contrary to modern civilization
and the prevailing ideas of the age
Let it once be thoroughly under-
stood that tho law is ample to pro-
tect evecy man in his rights and to
punish those who infringe upon
them, and the necessity for carry-
ing pistols into courtrooms for
self protection against dangerous
characters will be a thing of the
past, because the dangerous char
acter will be in a place ef safety—
for both himself and the general
public.

The Attorney-General of Indiana Placed Is
aa Insane Asylum.
Indianapolis, May 12.—The com-
munity wae shocked to-day by the
information that the Hon. Prank
Hord, attorney-general of the
State, had been declared insane.
The peculiarity of bis case is that
he seems to have been living a sort
of donble life. While he has dis-
charged all of his official duties
thoroughly and satisfactorily, and
his legal opinions have been re-
markably clear and pointed, he
has often armed and disguised him-
self at night, hunting until late
hours for imaginary foes. Labor-
ing under on hallucination that a
certain doctor had insulted his
wife, he assaulted him on several
occasions, once narrowly escaping
tragic results.
The doctor and Judge Hord's
brother, the Hon. Oscar B. Hord,
filed the necessary papers, and the
atient was taken to the insane
ospital. After ho had carefully
read the finding of the commission
he declared that he would effect
bis release by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, and revenge himself upon
all engaged in the''outrage." Gov.
Gray, who has . bad daily inter-
course with Judge Hord, was sur-
prised and shocked when told of
tho matter by a reporter to-day.
Judge Hord's son William will
probably succoed him as attorney-
general.
The first fire insurance company
in America was tbo "Philadelphia
Contrihutionship," organized in
1752. This grew out of a system
of private underwriting through
brokers, which began at least as
early as 1721. It was not until
1792 that the first marine insur-
ance company, as "touch, was organ-
ized—the Insurance company of
£Jorth America, also of Philadel-
phia which has just published a
history of the beginning of under-
writing in America.
