those duties without the collection
of one cent directly or by any internal

be one for revenue only and ample

No more significant fact touching
the future destiny of Ireland has ap
peared ' in a long while than that
. pointed out by a recent writer touch
ing the comparative population of
Ireland now 'and 'a' little over fifty
years ago. At the beginning of this
.century Ireland held about one-third
of the population of the United King
dom. 'Now its population is only one-
seventh. In every material particu
ar Ireland was better able to cope
with England fifty j ears
ago than she is to-day
It would seem in fact that the sub
tle policy of England which is to
day expressing itself in the urgency
with Which she is aiding Irish immi-
gration to the United States is only &
part' of a very old policy to secure the
' Emerald Isle for English landlords
Under ordinary circumstances it is a
good thing to aid immigrants in find-
ing better homes for themselves but
if the design of England in doing this
is to depopulate Ireland and procure
4the country for her two landlords it
.is high time that the spirit of modern
civilization protested against so heart1
Jess a proposition.
The federal appropriations for the
coming fiscal year amounts to $189-
311566. This does not include any
appropriations for the postal service
the revenue of that department being
deeded sufficient to meet the expendi-
tures for the coming year. During
the '.eleven years ending with the
present fiscal year congress has voted
about $55000000 to meet deficiencies
in postal service. There was no ap-
propriation made for the coming year
for rivers and harbors but as
$19000000 were appropriated for
the current year for this pur-
pose necessary work on rivers and
"harbors is not likely to be seriously
interfered with. The amount pro-
vided for pensions is 886575000
against $116000000 for the current
year. The aggregate amount appro-
priated for the coming year is $63-
516000 below that appropriated for
the present fiscal year. The disburs-
ments from the treasury for the
month of May are likely to be un-
usually large. A warrant was drawn
on the 21st for 13000000 to pay pen-
isioiis which amount is mainly on ac-

CHARGE OF CRUELTY.
Mr. Still who conducts a saddle
tree establishment in the peniten
tiary at IluntsviUe did as was men-
tioned by Mr. Wooten report that
the convicts in the penitentiary were
treated with cruelty. The statement
it appears was m;ule on the streetsTn
Austin in the presence oi .air.
Wooten and he; along with ttions-
.n.iH of other Deople in the stale-
gave currency to reports of cruelty.
Thereupon the penitentiary board
descended from its oflicial position to
inquire into the saying of a private
.itin in nrivate conversation and
he referred the investigators to Mr.
Still. Mr. Still was investigated
after a fashion and from his evidence
it is made to appear that
the life of those convicts ought
to . be one of supreme satisfaction
The evidence given by Mr. Still is
rushed before him in the columns of
the News and Mr. Wooten is thereby
made to appear as having circulated
what was groundless. Mr. W. now
publishes a long letter in the News
vindicating his statement and pro
ducing evidence to show that what he
had said was a repetition ot what he
and others had heard Mr. Still
Tie Dresents the case and
comments as follows:
Thesn. I think are fair deductions
from the record ot this transaction
and with them I submit the affair so
fur a 1 am nersonaliv concerned. In
taking leave of Air. Still l nave no in
word or ill will in this matter. He
has long been known as the victim of
a political delusion; he is exceedingly
garrulous and perhaps forgets what
he says and to whom he says it. In
thia particular instance his interests
and business are in conflict with his
and his impulses of humanity
and truth; and like the majority of
men he has succumbed to the dic-
tates of selfish considerations. Upon
the whole he is entitled to that to
which I cheerfully commend him
th indulgence the charity and the
of a irenerous public.
And. that I have been unwillingly
and nnwittinelv drawn into this con
t.rnvflrRV. T feel iustified in indulging
in a few reflections which seem to
ma Twrt.inpnt and sucrgestive.
chance conversation of a private citi-
yon havinir been mode the basis for a
so-called investigation and the pre-
text for a flimsy vindication of the
penitentiary management that pri-
vate citizen begs leave to say that the
opinion he casually expressed in con-
versation he still entertains and sees
no reason to change it on account of
anything developed by this recent in-
quiry at lluntsville. So far asappears
from the reports and records of this
examination it was conducted by
Superintendent Goree and an attor-
ney the affair having been by the
board referred to the former gentle-
man and Still's testimony is taken
and sworn to be.ors him. His
relations past and present to
the penitentiary are well known
and have been no little dis-
cussed and criticised. The sole wit-
nesses examined seemed to have been
Mr. Still and his brother and em-
ployes of the penitentiary aU work-
ing in connection with the peniten-
tiary and naturally and necessarily
more or Jess interested in preserving
friendly and favorable relations with
the superintendent and prison of-
ficials. The convicts the public-
disinterested humanity and fearless
search after truth are nowhere
represented in the trial.
Can this he .called an in-
vestigation of alleged evils and will
this sort of white-washing process
suffice to overcome the opinions of
the thousands of people all over this
state who have for months and years
past feared and some of them firmly
believed that the wretched and un-
fortunate inmates of our penitentiary
were not properly cared for nor hu-
manely treated i These opinions may;
be wrong and unjust to tho officials
and no doubt in a measure
they are so but they exist
and can not be silenced by
methods like this last so-called inves-
tigation and those which have for a
long time preceded it with futile and
farcial repetition. The public mind
has of late been stirred upon this
question of penitentiary control and
discipline as it has rarely before been
stirred upon any subject. It was tne
great gage of battle in the debates of
the last legislature and after a long
and gallant struggle the friends
of redemption' succeeded in
winning what was considered
a conquest of humanity and justice.
But almost the first of the new and
what it was hoped would be a better
and purer administration of affairs
was the reappointment of some of the
very men who had been identified!
with the old order of things and a
distrust of wfccpi had had much to
do with the overthrow and removal
of the previous system of peniten-
tiary management. And now the
the accidental exprtigsjbn of opinions
of private disinterested Cftjzens.based
upon what they have every
reason to accept aa authentic infor-
mation are seized upon and made the
excuse for an ex parte vindication
conducted and supervised by those
who are in part responsible for any
abuses that may exist and supported
by the testimony of those whose di-
rect personal interests and selfish mo-
tives are at war 'with the discovery
and revelations of the truth; Am I
not right In saying that these are
suggestive and pertinent reflections;
and in view of their significance
may not every citizen interested in
seeing the results oi the great peni-
tentiary struggle in the eighteenth
legislature carried out in their true
spirit justly inquire whether there is
not strong indication in these things
that the issue of that struggle may
prove but a barren victory and its
fruits turn to ashes upon the lips of
the miserable unfortunates in whose
behalf it was fought and won ? "
Mr. Wooten has acted properly in
defending himself but he acted im-
properly la noticing the communica-
tion addressed to him by the board
asking authority for what he stated.
Why does not the board address let-
ters to the thousands of other
citizens who state and have
stated that cruelty has been
practiced towards ppnyict3 ?
There are plenty of people In this
state who can give direct evidence as
to cruelty even to the taking of life
without provocation. As said the
demand in this instance presents
itself in the nature of a plan for white-
washing. Courtesy did not even re-
quire that any notice should be taken
of the demand. If the board be really
in . earnest about unearthing cruelty
let investigation proceed with men
to be found who an prove such
charges. Mr. Wooten repeated
what he had heard as
thousands of others have done. We
venture to say that if a competent
commission were organized to go to
various points in the state to inquire
as to cruelty the reports would give
volumes of evidence of it. If it be
the plan to whitewash as Mr.
Wooten says it is competent Invest!-
Ration dare not be instituted.
YIKGOIA I0SS1SM.
While Mahoneism has it may be
said triumphed In the Lite local elec-
tions In Virginia tie returns also
show that the little boss' power is de-
clining. Many localities and counties
where the coalition has heretofore
been strongest have gone Demo-
cratic tby majorities which in-
dicate that m;iay of the
original 'Readj listers are get-ti-'lm-'x
to thc:r oil jurty in r;-tT:ir-
ation for the.presidehtial contest next
year. The Norfolk district was one
of two which were Republican before
the advent of Mahone. Last fall it
was carried by the coalition by a de
cisive majority in spite oi a targe
traight Republican defection. The
Democrats have now carried nearly
all the counties. In Norfolk county
itself where Mahone made his tight
by means of assessments on the
local ollice-holders he has met
with a decisive defeat.
Other sections heretofore Republican
show the same general indications. It
appears probable that not only have
many of the Democratic Readjsuters
retured to their old allegiance but
that Republicans have begun to chafe
under an alliance which uses them as
a cat's paw. The change says the
Philadelphia Times ought to be a
pretty loud hint to President Arthur
The alliance was born in wickedness

publican party than an act

has been driven to the de
fense of repudiation while the liberal
things promised by Mahone have not
been forthcoming. The coalition also
showed that while there was a gen
eral demand for improved methods
Virginia had been given over to the
worst ideas of the worse times under
rh control of a man without con
science with his appetite whetted by
a long period of hunger. It is surely
time to be off with a friendship so fa
tal and the preident might.well take

the bully of Panola county. Last
Tuesday night without the least
provocation he hit young Baker over
the head with a pistol and fired on
him about the same time. Baker
being unarmed left the house and
was followed by Colljns to the side-
walk when he was shot by some un-
known party in the neck and killed.
It is said that a brother-in-law of
Baker did the shooting but it is mere

who killed a man named Berry in
1871 in Van Zandt county and was
captured in Louisiana a year ago and
held on preliminary trial in $7000
bond was released from the Canton
jail to-day his bond having been re-
duced to $3000. which he succeeded in
giving. Although the killing oc-
curred twenty-one years ago there is
still a very strong case or murder
against Whetstone as nearly all the
material witnesses are still living.
Mrs. Ileacock who was convicted
of murdering her husband by poison-
ing three years ago and life sentence
passed but which was reversed by
the court of appeals and bond set at

was reduced to S500. Her alleged
paramour Dr. Ball Under sentence ol
death escaped from Tyler jail ' two
years ago and hs never been re-caj)-tured.
The case excited more interest
and becaine the most celebrated in the
criminal annals of Texas. Mrs. Ilea-
cock was a young popular handsome
cultivated and well-informed woman.
Her husband a tine gentleman and a
salesman for a mercantile establish-
ment at Wills Point was taken sick.
Dr. Ball attended him. He and Mrs
Heacock became enamored. Mr. Ilea-
cock so far recovered as to be able to
sit up but suddenly and mysteriously
died. ' The po$t mortem established
poisoning.' Purchase of the poison
was proven on Dt. Ball. Criminating
and loving ' letters between
Mrs. Heacqck add Dr. Ball
written" during the illness and
after death were intercepted and the
strongest sort of murder pase made
out resulting in "both bejng convicted.
The court of appeals set aside the ver-
dict against Mrs Heacock on techni-
calities. Now her release on a fifteen
hundred dollars bond is generally re-
garded as ending the case forever
with no one punished tor the crunch
as ur. uan wm proDamy never be re
captured.

King the missing broker was found
last night about one o'clock in front
of his office on the Strand by the po-
liceman on that beat. He was con-
scious but unable to walk from the
effects of an overdose of morphine.
Mr. King's account of his disappear-
ance is about as follows: He said that
I yesterday morning he was suffering
trom a severe nervous attack
and left his office and took a dose of
morphine and went to the beach to
have the benefit of the sea air. Soon
after reaching there he lost all con-
sciousness and knew nothing until a
late hour last night when he recov-
ered and was placed on the car and
sent to town and was found as above
stated and taken in charge and sent
home. Mr. King hower is reticent
about his whereabouts after the ad-
journment of the Knights of Honor

his business as usual but much cha-
grined that his escapade should have
got into print.

couragement to extend it to any
tangible northern outlet.

Telegraphic News.
Dallas. May 31. Capt. Ross in
his crop report to the department of
agriculture at Washington for June 1
says wheat late sown is not so good
as early sown particularly Mediter-
ranean and Nicaragua. There is
some little complaint of blade
rust. The stalk is healthy.
So long as this is the case no injury
is apprehended. The yield promises
a fair average. We are now harvest-
ing barley and rye which is good but
little sown. Oats early sown
are very good; the late sow.
ing is not so good heading
rather low but average; the yield
will be a good one. Corn is fine (and
has been well cultivated. The aver-
age this season is large. Jf jhe season
should continue the yield w ill be a
large one. Cotton good stands and
planters well up with plowing
and chopping. The nights have
been rather cool of late for
it but it has plenty of time yet to
make. The average is ten or fifteen
less than last year's. Apples and
peaches about one-fourth of a crop.
Fruit is badly sf;untpd by the. curcu-
lias. From this cause plums have
most all been destroyed. All crops
are fifteen days late but the prpspects
are goad for an abundant harvest.

"New York. May 31. The univer
sal comment this mrnina r'psnp.r.t.ino-
the bridge ho.rrbr is that the same ac-
ciqen is nanie to happen at any time
no matter what police restrictions
may be unless the steps are abolished
or at least divided for the two stre ims
of pedestrians. Superintendent of the
bridge Martin mfees the following
frank statement "It is certainly no
safe place for such crowds as pass
over t.ie bridge. It was not intended
to accommodate any such travel as it
is having. As to the steps it had
been decided to put a railing up and
down the middle to divide the people
going one way from those going the
other. The railing waiild nave been
crowded iip some way beyond the top
of the steps. Of course we should
carry it probably a hundred feet along.
This was one ot the alterations we
had already determined upon and it
is to be made at once. Then we are
going to place the sUie railings on the
steps a little further baeK. Some
space is now lost by them. Then
further back between the cables we
can widen the passage by placing the
railings further apart and against the
cables and this is to be done.
"Could not the steps be dispensed
with?" was asked. 'Well we could
build what is calleda ramp an in
clined plane trom the top ot the steps
to a point further down
the bridge but there would
be the same danger in making the
graae any steeper especially in wet
or icy weather. To the suberinten
dent's statement may be added that
the fact is now obvious that during
these hours ot tne day when transit
is most live and on holidays and Sun-
days there will always be great dan
ger of a heavy crush similar to yes-
teraay s unless means or renevmg it
pe uevisea. jnos even tne Dridge ca
ble track for cars now nearly com
pleted wm prevent a crush at these
times.

Regan' age 34 lacerated scalp wound;

When the approach was cleared at
last it was literally covered with ar-
ticles of clothing and personal prop-
erty abandoned in the struggle. They
were viewed with amazement bv peo
ple coming over from Brooklyn who
had not heard of the disaster. In the
excitement AVm. Oxford aged 4a. a
drunken man ufjiberately' jumped
irom tne Dqage approach into

The coroner will subpoena the bridge
tmstees. Superintendent Martin and
all others who can give any informa-
tion in referenceto the accident yes
terday. He intends the investigation
to De tnorougn. no action has yetj
been taken by the bridge trustees. !
The superintendent acknowledges
that the space allotted to foot parsen-
gers is insufficient but thinks thai j

ample. It is believed a full list of the
dead and seriously injured has been
given.
Im-pector Byrnes denies that the
panic was caused by pick-pockets. It
was due he claims to inefficiency of
the bridge management by paying the
salaries of regiuar policemen. The
trustees could secure them and thus
secure the. safety of passengers.

Washington May 31. Investiga-
tion of affairs in the supervising
architect's office commenced this
morning. James Coleman appeared
for Murch and John L. Thomas repre-
sented Hill. Murch and Hill were
both present. Coleman desired to
put in evidence all papers bearing on
what are known as fifteen per cent
contracts. Blair of the department
of justice objected to their introduc-
tion on the ground 1st that the con-
tract with the Dix Island Granite
company was made by Hill's
predecessor (Mullett). and conse-
quently had no bearing. Coleinan
said it was evident that Blair and
himself could not act in harmony in
this investigation and asked that the
letters of Murch requesting the ap-
pointment of government counsel to
assist him on which Blair was de-
tailed be withdrawn. The chairman
said the committee would let Blair's
objection go over for the present.
This was satisfactory. Coleman of-
fered in evidence the contract made
in 1873 between Mullett and the Dix
Island Granite company for furnish-
ing stone for the New York postoffice.
Coleman proposed to show
that this contract entitled the
contractor to fifteen per cent
profit but the latter with the knowl-
edge of Hill who was then assistant
supervising architect increased the
figures and new contracts were made
without advertising" for proposals.
Other contracts with the same com-
pany for St. Louis Boston and other
public buildings were also offered.
Coleman said requisitions had been
made several weeks ago for regular
weekly reports of superintendents in
charge of the construction of these
buildings but they had not yet been
furnished. Coleman then proposed
that the committee issue subpoenas
for the appearance of certain witness-
es and that two experts be appointed
one to be designated by the com-
mittee and the other by the
prosecution to investigate the
alleged fraudulent granite contracts.
It could be shown that the govern-
ment had paid hundreds of thousands
of dollars more than the stone was
worth at the highest market rates
and work paid for which was never
performed. Thomas objected to the
appointment of experts. The question
was taken under consideration. Af-
ter consultation the chairman stated
that there would be no difficulty in
selecting experts. Adjourned till
Tuesday to allow experts time to
examine papers.

Ghand Juky Room May 25.
To the Hon. A. 8. Walker Ju 'ge of the Dis
trict Court Iravis county :
We the undersigned grand jurors of
Travis county alter an active and
prolonged investigation of reported
violations of the gaming laws vf this
state find it quite impossible in most
cases to obtain positive testimony
from the fact that those who
such violations an j
UU
of the same laws an
VUV1UUW 1 LI I l-A k ' L I 'UUI l"
wno will not Decome voluntary wit-
nesses and when summoned before
the grand jury avoid as far as possible
giving anything that will convict
their friends and associates. Indeed
many of the witnesses alluded to i
have so entirely forgotten the names
of persons whom they have seen gam-
ing nearly every day and are so ig-
norant of all other facts in connection
with gaming as to leave a positive
conviction on the mind of every juror
that such witnesses have perjured
themselves and are therefore
unworthy of belief in regard
to information which they
may accidentally have given.
Hence comparatively only a few of
the many violators of the gaming
laws can be indicted and the investi-
gation by the grand jury does not
produce the desired result. There-
fore we are forced t the conclusion
that presentment by the grand jury
is not a i efficient means for the sup-
pression and prosecution of the vice
of gaming but that a far better and
the most ellicient method will be
formed in a full and conscientious
discharge of duty on the part of coun-
ty and municipal oiflcersupported by
the active moral sentiment of
the community.
While we question the justice and
the policy of a law that allows gam-
ing in one place and punishes it iu
another and while we doubt whether
gaming can be entirely sup-
pressed until the law shall
make it a felony yet
we believe that to whatever extent
the present gaming laws are adequate
for the suppression of this vice that
extent can be reached only by a vig-
orous execution of the law by the
police and peace officers of the county
and city. We therefore respectfully
request your honor to instruct the
sheriff definitely so that he cannot
fail to understand the full power and
duty of himself and his deputies in
this matter. We also ask that your
honor cause the Hon. W. A. Savior
mayor of Austin to be informed that
the grand jury make a like request to
him in regard to the marshal and
police officers of the city.
Kespectfully subm tted.
Signed H. B Kinney

gaged principally in the trial of the
