The last scenes of lifes great drama
seem to be enaoting in the bed ohamber
of Samuel J Randall There will be
many hearts to sympathize with the
bereft when it isended His has been
a useful life and his career a manly one
No amount of opposition has sworved

The finding and sentence in the case of
Lieut Steele for maltreatment of pri-
vates in his command has a lesson not
only for officers in the army but for all
who have men under them in any de-
partment To successfully command
men a man must have selfcommand
and any resort to brutal aots or insult-
ing words serves to lower dignity and in-
vite rebellion Subordinates in what-
ever place have rights which their su-
periors cannot disregard without im-
periling the harmony that should exist
between employer and employe
The following question has been sub-
mitted to The Gazette
Does the snn mark or shadow appear in the
same place at all times of the year or in other
words is the sun in the south at 12 oclock
meridian at all times If it varies how much
The journeying of the sun southward
beginning when it crosses the vernal
equinox about the 21st of Maroh has no
bearing upon the fact that at noon tho
suns rays are vertical Hence a sun-
dial unfailingly shows high noon by a
vertical shadow on its face The rela-
tive position of the earth and sun are in
consequential
The Scranton Truth in an editorial
pleading for the maintenance of the
home and opposing cooperative
sohemes in housekeeping says in con-
clusion
Any scheme to abolish the home is deserving
of the severest execration Go home for your
meals even if you have to lose an hours time
and if the dinner is not as good a3 those you get
at the hotel or restaurant Go home to supper
and stay with your family until breakfast is an-
nounced The family man is the best institu-
tion for the support of our government that the
sociologist can pick out Let Bellamy and
Smith and Taine and Atkinson and George
work upon this line and they will meet with
better success Never abolish the home
It is the fashion among men who them-
selves havo not reached any special point
of literary eminence to sneer at th0
opinions of the countrv editor A
careful reader of newspapers will not
hesitate to say that the editorial page of
many weeklies compare not only favor-
ably but excel similar pages in large
dailies The country editor if he is
any part of a scholar has ample time to
secure nooessey information on his sub-
ject and to present itin f a manner that
bears lei mark of baste and crudity
The expression country editor is no1
well cbpsen nor the fling in good taste
The account of the customs of the in-
habitants of the interior of Africa
written by one of Stanleys lieutenants
and published in the current number of
the Century gives room for a doubt as
to the human origin of such a race
The oruelty and barbarity exhibited by
these savag s is calculated to give rise to
the Question whether after all Ameri-
can Blavery was not a blessing The
removal of a people from such debasing
surroundings and bringing them in con-
tact with higher civilization has certainly
wrought a mighty change for the better
that no amount of missionary work done
in their midst could have accomplished
The beauty of tho farm mortgage sys-
tem is faithfully illustrated by recent
scenes in New Jersey bearing close anal-
ogy those of the evictment drama in Ire-
land Thirty years ago the Gloucester land
company was organized ami about 200
farmers bought or leased farms from this
company In the settlement ot the es-
tate of S R Cowell a 30000 mortgage
was found existant and it being further
shown that the titles issued by the com-
pany were invalid a foreclosure followed
One man has become demented another
has barricaded himself in his house and
has announced his determination to keep
possession even at the risk of his life

Mn Cleveland sway may not suit his
polltioal opponents but none will deny
it is the way direct Not long since the
Democratio students of the Ohio
state university met and nominated Mr
Cleveland for president and in the
exuberance of enthusiasm and Belf im-
portance notified him of the honor HIb
reply was pointed and pregnant con-
taining the following f
I know that you will not fa il to understand
me when 1 say that I am sure that there are
questions and topics which press upon the
minds of our people the solution and treat-
ment of which are of vastly greater importance
than the political fortunes of any man
A world of quiet Barcasm and admir-
able teaching in one sentence
Says the Atlanta Journal One would
hardly suppose that the learned scientist
Professor J P Stelle the able agricul-
tural editor of the Mobile Ala Regis-
ter ever indulged In humorouB poetry
ancVvet he is guilty of just that thing
He has contributed to tho April issue of
the Alliance Journal of Montgomery
Ala a poem on On What We Do at
the Alliance Hall The final verse will
give an idea of the professors style
A fraud may have fooled us and joined
Resolved upon doing hisbest
At using the Order hea wronged
To feather his personal nest
That schemer we speedily pounce
And him to outside or the wall
We bounce and we bounce and we bounce
And thats what we do at the hall
The following is clipped from the
Providence Telegram because It has its
lesson for other oitles
Dont throw old papers and such like stuff into
the streets
It is in the first place against the law and
the rash citizen who does it is liable to have to
pay a fine Then it is not neat Itmakes the
city streets look like a junk shop <
The writer further adds that the com
missioner asserts that unless the evil is

correoted hnrsh measures will be used
to abate it It is no uncommon sight on
tho streets of this city to Bee wagons
loaded with paper excelsior packing and
other trash going through the streets un-
covered the wind Boatterlng tho load in

look of thrift to a town but oan never

APPBECIATION AND ACHIEVE-
MENT
There are two elements essential to
success diligence and foresight In
every mans life opportunities are pre
sentedthat If seized would have led to
fortune to fame or to whateyer point his
ambition might have tended Some-
times it is an opportunity only and a
failure to appreciate it meaus a final fail-
ure So frequent la this that among men-
the saying is oomraon He has
lost the opportunity of his life and
as if to put upon it tho highest estimate
t is spoken of as the golden oppor-
tunity These lloodtides come to men
seeking political preferment sometimes
In the form of abnegation of that whioh
promises muoh at present but holds
nothing for the future Here is an op-
portunity for the use of judgment for
the exercise of keen discrimination and
for the practice of a patience that wait3
intelligently Momentary passion any
overestimate of ones self Is likely to
lead to the seizing of what is in sight or tho
flinging away of that which by a due
exoroise of forbearance would brins
larger returns in a future not so distant
as it seems
This lack of judgment though real is
not here so apparent to the masses as it
is in matters of business It is not luck
that has made one man successful and
another a failure One buys with judg-
ment whether it be a town lot or a stock
of goods The other if he buys at all
buys simply from preference or for
present advantage The sucoess
attending some purchasers of real estate
in growing towns is a case in point
The purchase is based on the good
judgment of the purchaser but the work
does not stop there the means to aoheive
success are selected with like wisdom and
are used with diligence That mans
values inorease men say he has made
his money easy but has he not earned
it It is not necessary that he defraud
any that he take unwarranted advan-
tage be has enriched himself and others
because of an intuitive knowledge of
possibilities and a zealous discreet use
of means to compass tho desired end
In a word that man has appreciated an
opportunity whioh has proven golden
He has a right to the rich result because
he has achieved success by an apprecia-
tion of conditions it may be where an-
other lacking this has failed and he
should not become the mark of envious
censure Opportunities are crowding
thick upon the people of this city the
town holds out iuducements in every
field for men of pluck and ioresight
these opportunities are not going to be
wasted but they may be wrested from the
lax grasp of people on the ground Fac-
tories big hotels large houses for whole-
sale business will be ereoted here nnd
when others having the prescienoe of
possibilities and the pluok to aot upon
their faith enter and take possession let
not others who now sit supinely curse
their luok or depreciate their more for-
tunate fellowmen
Wealth rarely comes by the sweat of
the brow but it comes just as legitimate-
ly when it results from keen discriminat-
ing powers united to a courage that puts
all things to the hazard Competency is
the sure reward of good hard work
coupled with persistent economy and
that is no mean reward but the faoulty
for appreciating opportunity is closejy
allied to genius and its possessor should
be admired and no man blamed for its
legitimate exercise
THEY SAY
That a person who throws a banana
peel on a stairway should be indicted for assault
with intent to cripple
That the ordinance against nuisanoes
should be enforced against men who sweep the
sidewalks after 6 am to the injury of skirts
and clothing
That Mr Bailey could have saved the
city some expense by not resigning
That Fort Worth could have more pop-
ulation if it had more houses
That Mr McDonald of Paris delivered
a splendid speech at Bonham Saturday
That the man who pava Ave cents a
copy fora paper which it costs 10000 a month
to print doen not thereby acquire a right to con-
trol that newspapers utterances or manage-
ment
That the building association is the
wageworkers hest friend that will be truer to
him than any loudmouthed demagogue in the
land
That the general offioes of the Texas
and Pacific should be located at Fort Worth
rather than at a way station of that road
That the coming of the Union Paolfio
road into Texas has stirred up the monkeys
That Dallas has a groat many laborers
at work who will be out of a job after June the
month in which Uncle Sain takes the census
That Tarrant county should begin to
cast about for a man to represent it in the legis-
lature
That it would help real estate values
and operations if Fort Worth were now building
twenty store houses

CASTING SHADOWS

tion of Texas citizenship Denison Dispafclf
AttorneyGeneral Hogg will detain the
convention only a short time He will benomv

Throckmorton can have but little hope
of winning the governorsrace and indeed he is
almost remarkable man if he has any hope of
winning it For the life of ns we can see no
hope for him Whatever his prospects were or

nouncement of the Hon H D McDonald have
spoiled everything for hira Hi3 friends say
that McDonald has complicated his chances
which means that McDonalds candidacy has

fiaralyzed
Cherokee Herald
Throckmorton and Hogg are the only
candidates for governor who attract much notice
in this county Each of these gentlemen have
a strong following among our people with old
Throck perhaps in tho lead Sulphur
Springs Gazette
Mr Hogg may have lots of admirers
he has also many who arc against him but that
is not the question Will he make us a good
governor We are afraid not Is he the best
man for Southwest Texas We think not Cor-
pus Christ Caller
AttorneyGeneral Hogg never locked a
convention in his life and never will do such a
thing Hogg is a thoroughbred Texas raised
Democrat He is going to unlock tho next state
convention hy accepting the gubernatorial nom-
ination which will be tendered him on or about
the third or fourth ballot Cherokee Herald
Hon II D McDonald of Paris would
make a better governor than Hogg or Throck
morton He is an honest and able gentleman
and one who strikes the medium line between
Hogg as an ultraist and Throckmorton as a lib
eraust Texas couldnt do better than to honor
Mr McDonald with the position of Governor of
a great and growing state SpringtownNews
dealer
Throckmorton wants to be governor of
Texas and some people have the assurance to
intimate that the office belongs to hJm because
he was turned out by tho military The ex gov-
ernor is an able man but he is too much tainted
with railroads and Is too old and feeble for the
office He has held office for twenty years The
fact is he held one until he ruined his health at
it and had to give it up Marshall Star
Throckmorton so disgusted and in
ulted the Democracy of Texas by his stubborn
and unprecedented locking of this convention at
Austin in 1878 that his organs now find it neces-
sary to assure the public that he will not be
guilty of such conduct But their labor in that
behalf is useless The prompt nomination of
Hogg on the 12th of August next will save Mr
Throckmorton all trouble of either a lock or an
explanation Tyler Democrat and Reporter
A mans popularity for governor is not
generally measured by the number of papers
that are espousing his cause A majority of the
press opinions are for Hogg and Throckmorton
and no doubt it is fortunate for some one else
that this is so The name of Hon R B Hub
bard is not on every newspaper mans lips but
if it is brought before the next state convention
it will awaken genuine enthusiasm Hubbard is
the coming man of destiny for the position of
governor Granbury Graphic
It is natural for the sheriffs of Texas to
oppose Hogg for governor as they think they
havo a grievance against him and it will be seen
what influence they can wield in the county con-
ventions by the following from the Brenham
Banner The sheriffs association proposes to
do Hogg up for governor The secretary of
the association has written a circular letter ap
pealiug to the different sheriffs to use their in-
fluence to keep any Hogg delegates from attend-
ing the state convention Goldthwaite Moun-
taineer
The Paris Times is for Hogg and wants
a railroad commission Would the Times mind
telling us what it expects the commission to do
and cite instances where such commissions have
measured up in good results to the standard or
of the fond hopes that aro placed in them In-
terview a few of the men who pay the freight
and print their experience with the interstate
commission Make the campaign one of educa-
tion If commissions have done good where
tried the commissions are good things Fan
nin County Favorite
Hogg Throckmorton MoDonald and
Wheeler are the prominent candidates for the
Democratic nomination for governor They all
bear records of good Democrats and good men
and have the ability to maintain the office if
either are elected To a delegate attending the
convention with no ax to grind or friend to re-
ward it is a dead guess and a matter of serious
conjecture as to which of the four can lay the
best claim to his vote All men who have lived
lives of prominence devoted to public service
must stand to be smeared with the mud of un-
just criticism by those bearing them
personal prejudice and by others princi-
pally who bear them prejudice and
for reasons unknown to themselves There are
men who will form opinions at the disclosure of
just such prejudices and too much care cannot
be taken not to allow such men to represent a
community at a convention As much care
should be exerted in the selection of delegates
as is exercised in tho selection of a nominee for
governor Let us send broadminded men to
represent us men who have our confidence and
have the best interests of the state at heart and
in the outcome we may feel sure that the parti
sanshin Riat weights the gubernatorial chair
contain at least a preponderance of honesty
and conscientiousness Austin County Times

BROWKBOWSEE
All That is Said Against Ballroads and Cor-
porations Not the Gospel Truth
Col Tom Brown thus replies to a letter from
Mr Bowser In the Dallas News
M challenge Mr B or any other gentleman
to point out a law of this state that discriminates
against the railroad corporations or capital
whether of resident or nonresident
Mr Bowser will not accept the challenge for a-
very good reason It is altogether nrobable that
Mr Bowser belongs to that class of excellent
gentlemen who talk a great deal more than they
read Evening Mail
Assuming that it will be conceded that
tho word discriminate as used in
this conneotlon means to make a dif-
ference a distinction if Mr
Brown the Mail or any other person will
take the trouble to read ohapter 10 title
lxxxlv of the general laws of the state
of Texas and does not find therein re-
quirements of rnilroad corporations that
are not asked or demanded of any other
corporation association or individual do-
ing business in the state of Texas then
I can read to but little purpose
I do not propose to disouss just now the
question whether these requirements
are unjust or unfair but point them out
only to show how prone persons and
papers are to assume that all that is said
against railroads and oornorations must
be taken as gospel truths not to be re-
futed or questioned If the Mail will
read more carefully it would talk more
intelligently and discreetly

Special to the Gazette
London April 13 Parliament seems about t °
open in a very listless fashion after tho Easter
recess There are remarkably few members In
town ready for tomorrows session It is un-
derstood that the government will at an early
day push the tithes bill to a vote
There will also be introduced a bill
providing that all measures relating to
Scotland shall be arranged and approved by a
special Scotch committee before being reported
to the house for action This is an important
innovation and if it meets with a favorable re-
ception similar measures may be proposed in re-
gard to Ireland and Wales The Conservatives
are smarting over their defeat at Carna
roon where a Liberal hs3 beeh elected
to a seat formerly held by a Conservative
it is evident in casting about for an explanation
of their defeat in what tbey consider a strong-
hold they seem inclined to fasten tho responsi-
bility upon Homo Secretary Mathews and he
may be made the jonah to be cast for the safety of
the ship Mathews is certainly unpopular
enough to be a heavy burden but it is
doubtful if this alone is sufficient to
account for a net gain of overlSOLiberal votes in
a single small district The more probable ex-
planation is that the popular tide is turning
more and more strongly toward Liberalism every-
day and this thing is sustained by the result in
nearly every byelection that has taken placo
during the past two years
PAHAMERICAN CONFERENCE
The Observer in a leading editorial says
From the proceedings of the Washington con-
ference it is apparent that the time is
not yet ripe for Americanism The
meagerness of the capital invested in
South America by citizens of the United
States as compared with European investments
there is pointed out as one reason for the
alleged failure of the conference to reach satis-
factory or valuable results
SMOKELESS POWDER
The absurdity of supposing that the advantage
of any improvement in the terrible art of war
can be confined to one nation is freshly illus-
trated in the case of smokeless powder Every
government is introducing the invention in some
shape or other and even the Hungarian war
minister has now asked a credit of 4000000
florins for this purpose It is difficult to seo
what effect the invention will have in the
long run except to add to the costliness
of war material and possibly to add to the num-
ber of killed and wounded in battle and these
advantages or disadvantages will be eventually
distributed It is a singular fact that despite
the enormous reward awaiting the inventor
of devices for use in war it has
been Impossible for any government to
obtain weapons or other instruments of
this kind which would give it a marked superi-
ority over its antagonist
STRIKES
All the tailors of Manchester have gone on a
strike in conjunction with similar action on the
part of their brethren in London The move-
ment may possibly become a national one
A strike of carpenters has occurred at Munich
Nearly all the workmen in this trade are Idle in-
consequence
A German chamber of commerce has been
formed by residents of the German possession
of Togoland on the West African coast

stantly killed and the murderers were

cause he owed Hanssig 850 florins and that he

notes and the wives of the assassins are suing

ment with Mrs Helena Firshon by which
he was to get onehalf of any judgment
he might recover asalnst the Chicago
Milwaukee ana St Paul railroad com
nany for the death of her husband

Judson went into the probate court and
submitted to Judge Kohlsaat whether
Mrs Firshon could settle her claim with-
out first paying hinr his fee The court
