Allusion has been made in several pa-

line but foreign competition kept
them within bounds as to prices Of

of the lire they had actual control of

An Official Indorsement
The Houston Post buiided wiser
than it intended when it published
State Engineer Prlttons assertion that
more pfsengors get oil and on the
trains in twentyfour hours at Fort
Worth than at Dallas Austin San
Antonio Houston and Galveston all
combined The Post of courcc wants
to frighten people with the idea that
in taking care of this immense dully
travel Port Worth has no room left to
care for a convention and thus secure
tho convention for Houston wIiomj
hotels all the time unless
are empty i
convention ot boiuo kind meets
in that cemetery This state-
ment of Euglnecr Pritton an olllcer of
the state having special opportunities
to note tho tide of travel will be an
unanswerable indorsement < f all that
the Gazette has been claiming for
Port Wort viz Tlmtitistlio llvest
most prosperous city In Texas With
the assurance that the convention will
bo caied for the Post has unwittingly
done the Fort a favor for will not
the delegates prefer to meet where
hey can see tho llvest city In Texas
Who of them will want to go to a
sleepy old town on a sluggish bayou
prolliic of inoaquitos when they can
go to a bustling growing wideawake
city at which more people according
to tho assertion of the railroad engi-
neer of the state get oil and on the
trains than at Galveston Houston
Austin Dallas and Han Antonio
combined Everything works together
for good to them that serve tlio Lord
and in trying to beat Fort Worth out
of tlio convention the Houston Post
but advertises our citys greatness and
supremacy

there will not be that number of drlc

Mrs Haight
Wo have alluded to the fact that an
aged woman Mrn Haight is under
sentence of death at Syracuse New
Voik for tho murder of her husband
Tho crime was committed in Feb
ruary 1SS3 and desire to get posses-
sion of 180C0 insurance the old man
hud on his life Is assigned as tlio mo-
tive for the unnatural deed It Is a
sickening story tlio history of tlio
crime and unfortunately there Is
little ground for doubting the old
womans guilt Hut If a thrill of hor-
ror is aroused at beholding a woman
in such an attitude a murderess tho
victim her husband and tho gallows
waiting for its victim there will also
be aroused a sentiment of hearty dis-
gust at the sceno that characterized
tlio conclusion of tlio trial When
sentence was pronounced tho mob of
men in the courtroom hissed nnd
hooted the miserable woman as she
was led away Whntover her crime
this was coarse and cowardly The
climax m as capped however at the
little village of Dcltuyter where tho
murder took jplace These men and
boys on receiving news of the sen-
tence of death built a scaliold
kindled n bonfire and amid cheers
and riotiug hanged Airs Haight in
elllgy A cannon was brought out
and loaded to add its tones to the
noise butSatuiday night giving way
to Sunday tlio Sabbathrespecting
mob refrained from tiring tlio salute
A state of society that permits such
ebullitions of hoodlumism is not
ubovo criticism and it is not surprising
that it develops such abnormal phases
of crime as Mrs Halghls Wedoubt
If any Western or Southern state could
furnish such a display of unseemly re
joicing us was witnessed in tills

for tho Gazette
Sprlngtown March 3 It seems that
the Democratic party is completely at
sea In trying to set upu candtdatu for
president when Samuel J Tllden Is
left out ot the arena of poslblo candi
dates And why is this so Forsurely
wo have as many worthy aud true
statesmen to select from In tlio Demo
cratic partj its in fact any other tarty
ever did have to choose from To my
mind the reasou is this Samuel J
Tilden towers so farabovo any other
living American statesman that they
all though many of them are giants
within themselves look liko mere
pigmies in comparison to this moun-
tain of statesmanship patriotism and
executive ability
For the Dumocialio party o nomi
nate any other prominent Democrat
and leavu Mr Tiideu idle would bo
about as foolish as to have put Muiehal
Birlhlerin command of tho French
army during tho first empire when
Napoleon was idle aud willing to com-
mand With Berthier in commandthe
French might have accidentally suc-
ceeded but would have been almost
sure to have sullered defeat But with
Napoleon in command the Pieneh
would have been almost suru to have
succeeded hut might have accidental
ly been defeated Well now just so
with Samuel J Tllden for our Demo-
cratic standardbearer wo aio al-
most sure to succeed with unv other
candidate wo might accidentally pro
vail but would still be almost sure to
fall Now can weailbid to exchange
a sure thing for an accidental chance
Surely not Ninoteutlis of the rank
and lllo of tho Democrats aro for Mr
Tllden But a majority of the politi-
cians are against liiin because they
know that lie would notbu soft mud in
their hands to daub up political cracks
withWell
Well now tho politicians have a
great deal to say and make a teirible
hullabaloo about Mr Tiideus health
mind and age The Democratic party
can succeed better with Mr rildeus
corpsoornld clothes than with any
other presidential possibility though
the possibility were four times us big
as ho possibly Is and It looks llko he
tho possibility would live a thousand
years

A Thrilling Situalimi
Victoria BC Colonist
Ail incident occurred in the big
canyon of Eraser river last week of a
nature so terrifying Mint It makes tho
blood of tho narrator run cold while ho
writes A young Victorian who had
been engaged on the railway line be-
ing mustered out of service started for
Victoria At tho point where It Is pro
nosed to throw a railway suspension
bridge across the Frazer river thero Is
stretched a cable rrom which depends
a sort ofcago or crate such us is used
to puck fruit or cabbage in on steamers
Passengers desiring lo cross tho
river enter this conveyance
Wires or stays exte
from thu crate to a pully on thocajJre
and by means of a lino to > jyJfcl
horse is attached and dratwjJtroiibjJiTlo
side to side of tho rlvoj lhe age
hangs about one hund er feet above
the strtain which WiilsaTid surges
beneath in a manner that terrillea
any person of weak nerves who may
Intrust himself to the governor Ten
days ago whllo making tho crossing
tho crato turned upside down and ten
thousand Canadian clgais and aquautl
y of oilier light goods dropped into
the Eraser and were lost This incident
was still ftesh in tlio mind of the
young Viotoriun when lie entered the
crate and was diawu toward the other
side His equanimity was not re-
stored when having accomplished
about onehalf the passage ho saw the
ferryman leisurely unhitch his horse
and drive oil The day was biting cold
A sharp wind blew down the river ami
whistling through the barsof tho crate
made tlio solitary passengers teeth
rattle and his flesh creep Tho situa-
tion was alarming The frail hark
swayed to and fro threatening with
every blast that sti uck it lo capsize
and send the voyager into tho
depths of tlio river No one le
spouded to his call for more than an
hour Then the ferryman having
finished his noonday meal returned
with his horse made fast lo tlio lino
and drew the halfdead young man to
the shore The situation or a poison
seated in tho cage is ono of danger
under under the most favorable cir-
cumstances but under thu circum-
stances in which our young friend
crossed it was positively alarming
Tlio ferryman it is supposed desired
to play a practical joke but it will
striko most persons as being nn ex-
ceedingly illtimed one
