death will be received with sorrow in
Texas where ho was so well known TnK

ing to the testimony tha was so cheer-
fully given while he was in life and
health Governor Brown was a great
manand had achieved a more varied
succesafaud distinction than the majority
t men he was neither failure nor
ire in anything he undertook but
wttsgreat in politics in war and as a
railroad manager Governor Brown was
sp great iu all things that he had no need
to assume greatness in any position to
which ho was called and he magnified
no office won by his commandinug abili-
ties All men admired himand many the
To J j
We are
establishmei
for John C Brown was one
tiling to all men whether of high or low
degree Tiik Gazkttk mourns his death
as that of a personal friend and Tins Ga
zkttk knows that among the poor as well
as among the rich there will be many
sharers in its grief
THE MOTION RENEWED
During the session of tho Twentyfirst
legislature Tm Gazkttk urged the ap-
pointment of a committee of investiga-
tion to inquire into the railroad ques-
tion and report to the Twentysecond
legislature with such recommendations as
such investigation might suggest
Tin Gazkttk urged this in the interest
of both railrouds and people basiug its
suggestion on the ground that there was
no conflict of interest between roads and
people but an identity of interest that
demanded intelligent aud patriotic treat-
ment of the roads by the peoples rep
representatives
This proposition however met no en
eucouragement from the organs and ad-
vocates of the roads or from the blind
unreasoning advocates of extreme legis-
lation and no attention was given it
Recent events justify The Gazettes
conservative recommendation and this
paper renews its motion for the appoint-
ment by the legislature of a committee to
investigate the subject and report to tho
succeeding general assembly In re-
sponse to a demand for a general
reduction of freight rates in Texas rep-
resentatives of the roads have made
statements vhich challenge the patriotic
consideration of every citizen and
while stating the inability of the roads
to make a general ieduction havo
suggested specific reductions which con-
firm The Gazettes confidence in the
wisdom of its motion for a committee
of investigation appointed by tho stale
and acting for ail the people of the state
It must be taken for granted that a-
very large majority of the people of
Texas fully appreciate the fact that roads
and people have a common interest in
the development and prosperity of tho
state despite tho agitation of dema-
gogues or the arbitrary courses of
railroads or individuals connected
with them The action of the
state with reference to the rail-
roads should bo in recognition of this
identity of interests and there could bo
no more propitious sens > ou for efforts to
draw people and roads into sympathetic
unity than now when railroad represen-
tatives publicly avow their desire to bo
brought into u closer communication with
the jeople The roads stand pledged to
this desire and tho people should meet
them half way
When Tin Gazette made its sug-
gestion for a committee of investi-
gation it was urged that the
roads would not facilitate the in-
quiries of the committee and yet hero
are the roads today begging for just such
investigation as The Gazette suggested
Such a committee would have all the
power of the state of Texas behind it as
much so as any railroad commission
could have and such a committee ap-
pointed in recognition of the com-
mon interest between tho roads
nnd people could collate and pre-
sent to tho public under tho great seal of
the state every fact and circumstance
bearing upon the question at issue and
thus make knownto the people what was
fairness to the roads and thus what was
best tor themselves
Such a committee composed of repre-
sentatives of the agricultural mercan-
tile manufacturing lumber legal
aud live stock iuteresls of Texas
would save to the state
unhealthy agitation and do
much
more
to settle a vexed jjuostion to the benefit
of Texas than all the freight rate com-
mittees that could bo appointed here and
there over tlie state
The people of Texas do not wish to op-
press iio roads nor do they wish to bo
oppressed by tho roads and the facts
and figures recently given out by the
railroad men at Dallas constitute a co
geut argument in favor of a committee
of investigation appointed by tho state to
inquire into all the facts and figures as a
basis for such regulation of tho roads qs
will bo just to them and thus beneficial
to all tho people

The Black Diamond Seizure
Wasuimgtox Aug 17 Although tho report
on the seizure and escape of the British schooner
Black Diamond has once been made public at
the treasury department it is learned from
officias that it does not show that the officers
and crew of the seized vessel were under parole
to proceed to Sitka While it was in the au-
thority of the captain of the revenue cutter to
plncp m irons every man on the Black Diamond
and send her to San Francisco with a powerful
prizG crew such course was not regarded as nec-
essary In cases occurring in former years the
seized vessels have gone safely into port the
officers having sufficient respect for the law as
embodied in the presence of one representative
of the revenue service to refrain from any at-
tempt to escape Meanwhile it is said at the
treasury that the revenue marine officials
will continue to seize vessels en-
gaged in taking seals illegally
leaving to tho state department the adjustment
of any International questions which may arisen

Deputy JfaKJe
Chicago Herald
There is very little doubt that Deputy
2 > aglo knew perfectly wejl what he was
about He knew that it was his business
to protect Justice Field from Terry snd
his wife and when he saw them enter
the dining room at Lathrop he felt that
the hour had come He had lived tqo
long on the border not to know that with
Buch people it was a question of life or
death The man that got the drop
was the best man and he prepared him-
self to secure that coveted position He
obeyed the instructions of the attprney
general to tho letter and by his preoision
and promptness of action he sayebJJTustice
Fields life
In this connection it is gratifying to
know that the California statute is much
more explicit in its definition of justifi-
able homicide than are the statutes of
Eastern states It makes kjlJing justifi-
able when committed in defense of wife
or husband parent child master mis-
tress or servant It will take no great
flight of fancy on the part of a grand
jury to see that Xagle being an assigned
bodyguard of Justice Field was so far
his servant and consequently a shooting
to protect him comes within the defini-
tion of a servant protecting his master
It is therefore not even likely that
Ifagle will be indicted But should ho
be indicted and come to a trial Before a
petit jury such defense wouldfbe ample7
Deputy Xagle will not suffer lonj for his
very rignteous killing of aaesperado
