it is estimated that not less than

the Democracy gets in the as-
cendancy. A successful stage robbery

A Nebraska man living at
Plattsmouth took his revenge
thusly: His wife ran away with
another fellow the pair going to
Lincoln. The injured husband
sent the "other fellow" a bottle
of whiskey heavily charged
with strychinne by the express.
The "other fellow" upon receiv-
ing the offering took a drink and
in one short hour was ajdead
corpus. Thus the Plattsmouth
man was revenged.
As winter approaches the
tramps like other birds of pas-

tory. They stole a barrel of
apples from a freight car and
ate them up after which they
took possession of an empty
stock car and were only persua-
ded to leave at the muzzles of
revolvers in the hands of the
train men.
A reporter of the Houston
Telegiam lately visited Hockley
and interviewed Mr W. Lynch
whose family -lycrc recently
niurdered and the house burned
down over the remains. The
theory is that the entire family
was chloroformed. This most
horrid crime is still enveloped
in the deepest mystery. It is
however certain that the assa-
sins intended to make a clean
sweep and went about their
diabolical purpose with the de-
liberate intention of murdering
the entire household.
The Bryan Pilot indulges in
an editorial on "Crimes the
laws and public opinion. " It
says the problem is inthehandb
of the people and the solutiion
is with them. It quotes exten-
sively from the press of the
State and says it is right in the
stand taken. We may be al-
lowed to remark that the great
trouble is not in the law itself
but in its lax execution. When
juors do their duty murderes will
be hung. Horse thieves are
hung without judge or jury and
with juries are promptly con-
signed to the penitentiary for
long terms. Murderers two
frequently go scot free.
TEXAS FRIDAY OCTOBER
Tun Houston Telegram gives
the particulars of the killing at
I lempstead last Saturday morn-
ing. It appears that a party
were playing dice and drinking
at Wheeler & Stoutenberger's
saloon. A quarrel ensued be-
tween Robert Finklea and Bob
Crawford. Upon Finklea's in-
vitation Craw ford laid aside his
pistol and a fist fight was en-
gaged in. During the melee
Ed Young fired the revolver
the ball taking effect in Fink-
lea's body killing him almost
instantly. The blood on the
floor was washed up and all
traces of the murder removed.
Finklea's body was then drag-
ged the distance of a square and
deposited in front of his (Fink-
lea's) saloon. The deceased is
represented to have been a quiet
inoffensive man. Crawford has
already killed one man. Young
is the station agent at Hemp-
stead and is said to be highly
respected. An inquest was held
and a verdict rendered that
Finklea came to his death by a
pistol shot fired by E.W.Young
and R. W. Crawford both of
whom are under guard. The
preliminary examination is set
for Tuesday.
The Galveston iVrew has this
to say regarding the congres-
sional race in the sixth district :
It is only lamentable in this
connection that the people of
western Texas who deserve
better seem to be shut up in a
manner to choosing between two
candidates for congress one of
whom has failed to reflect their
sentiments on the financial ques-
tion which is looming into over-
shadowing proportions.while the
other is so conspicuously lack-
ing in the temper experience
address and special qualifica-
tions demanded to fit a congress-
man for serving the interests of
that frontier section.
If the above be so then the
people of the sixth district are
certainly in a "bad row of
stumps."
m
An exchange says "the last
term of the district court in
Washington county cost the
tax payers of slid county two
thousand dollars and there
were 'only three felonly con-
victions leaving thirteen charg-
ed with felonly to remain in jail
at the expense of the county
until next January. Not much
economy in that kind.of justice
is there ? And there is no rem-
idy provided by law. Is it any
wonder the people are poor?
We have tumbled into this
groove of work or play as of-
ficers will till there is no seeing
the way out and like the taxes
in Russia and Turkey the set-
tled conclusion is "What is to
be must be." Shame on such
doctrine with a free people; let
remedies be provided and
strictly enforced or why live at
all? First principles must come
into $a.y.r-Huiitsville Item.

The independent element in
the way of candidates does not
show a large development in the
present canvass. So far we
have only two independents an-
nounced : W. K. Homan inde
pendent candidate for the Statc-j
senate from this district Air
Homan announces as an inde-
pendent but at the same time
it is pretty generally understood
that he is in full fellowship and
affiliation with the Greenback-
ers and doing all in his power
to not only defeat his opponent
on the Democratic ticket but
also the entire State and county
ticket not only of his own (Bur-
leson) but of the otliet two
counties comprising the district.
The other independent candi-
date is Mr. W. H. Billingslea of
Chappell Hill who desires to
serve the dear people in the ca-
pacity of Coanty Attorney. He
simply announces himself "as a
candidate" without saying- a
word as to what particular kind
of a candidate he is. As he
wholly fails to classify himself
we write him down as an inde-
pendent He comes before the
people at the earnest solicitation
of the mythiqal individual known
as "Many Voters." Whenever
a man is completely overcome
by an insatiable desire to run
for an office "Many Voters"
always comes to his assistance
just in the nick of time and
calls upon him to allow the
"use" of his name for this or
that position. In the present
instance "Many Voters" are a
very few sore-headed Demo-
crats and one or two quasi Re-
publicans and also a "straight
Republican" or two who have
been sadly disappointed in the
result of the sundry Republican
conventions. Mr. Billingslea
has also been identified with the
Greenback element in this coun-
ty and has contributed to the
extent of his ability towards the
disruption of the Democracy as
a State and national party.
In addition to Mr. Homan's
greenback proclivities he is said
to have been identified with the
Republican party. The fact of
his having been endorsed by
the Republican Senatorial con-
vention is a pretty strong show-
ing that he is in sympathy with
that party. It is claimed by the
Great Moguls of the Republi-
cans in this county that he will
poll the strength of the party.
Just how straight Republicans
and Greenbackers can consort
is a question for themselves to
settle. It is none of our busi-
ness. In the two independent candi-
dates mentioned we have a fair
specimen of the kind of timber
of which the independent is
built. He sits astride of the
fence and fishes all around for
votes. He is neither fish nor
flesh. He is anything and every-
thing. In the present canvass
it is a matter of vital importance
to the Democracy that the or-
ganization be preserved intact.
With the Republicans it is a
struggle for life and if they are
defeated this lime the party is
forever dead in this county.
Both parties have candidates in
the field nominated by conven-
tions and just how a party man
be he a Demotrat or a Repub-
lican can go off and vote for an
independent who is devoid of
party affiliation so far as cither
of the dominant parties arc con-
cerned and who is in fact ini-
mical to both is a mystery. In-
dependent candidates are by no
means reliable and are general-
ly brought out for a sinister
purpose.
The Galveston Ncivs callsthe
following rather romantic: A
colored lady named Mrs. Brown
womt down to the wharf bear-
ing in her arms a pickaninnie.
She discovered a colored gentle-
man named Mr. Brown and de-
positing the infant at his feet
strutted off. Mr. Brown had to
farm the baby out. To our
notion there is more reality than
romance in the incident.

GAMING.
Mr. Editor : Through the vigilance of
our county and corporation officer gaming
of all descriptions among the white citizens
was broken up and now not a single one
remains open. A low down negro gamb-
ling hell is in fall blast on St. Charles St.
near the Cotton Exchange and till now
not a single effort has been made to break
it tip. At 1 1 o'clock on Saturday morning
a free fight occurred and not a single po-
liceman in sight. Gaining is kept up in
this hell from early mom to past midnight
and several negro sports well known to the
authorities may be seen daily prowling
around in search ol prey from the country.
This infamous resort is a stench in the very
heart of our fair city. Ladies are compelled
to crois the street in passing this den and
then ecn on the opposite pavement their
cars are assailed by profanity too vile to des-
cribe. Has the approaching election any-
thing to do with tolerating this den of ini-
quity! Has the negro privileges para-
mount to the white citizen ? Drive the fes-
tive "bucks" to the cotton patch if they
have no better occupation than filching the
unsuspecting country negro. R. L.
GAMING No. 2.
Brenham. Sept 30 1S78.
Eds. Banner : The writer of a com-
munication in Sunday's Banner seems to
lay the blame of the toleration of a certain
gambling hell frequented by negroes and
occasionally whites upon the police author-
ities. The police lave no jurisdiction over
gamblers so long as they keep an orderly
house. The agrant ordinance defines a
vagrant to be "a person who has no visible
means of support." Gambling is under
the jurisdiction of the grand jury and the
county authorities. The den to hicli our
correspondent refers was stocked with
liquors a few months ago by certain Repub-
lican candidates for county offices and In
some instances was dispensed without
change for the purpose of influencing the
colored ote. The city authorities can only
compel an orderly house. What can the
police do if the citizens doing business in
the vicinity do not aid us in sustaining
criminal charges when made and the county
authorities nearly all of whom are candi-
dates refuse to back us up. 1
Respectfully
W. P. DORAN.
City Marshal.
