that produces a daily newspaper
superior to either one of a half dozen
Texas dailies in editorial conductor
complete compilation of news, for-
eign or domestic. Among the
country weeklies the standard is
equally high. The live and pro-
gressive towns of Texas patronize
the papers liberally and the papers
return a good interest on the invest-
ment by advertising the towns and
the business of their advertisers.
Of course there is sometimes a com-
plaint that the paper should be bet-
tor than it is, but this is only nat-
ural. There was never a paper
printed on earth that was good
enough for the chronic kicker. If
a man were to publish a nonpariel
quarto in a small pica folio town it
would not satisfy some people. As
w rule the newspaper is as good as
the patronage will justify, if it is
not as good as it should be the blame
belongs to the town and not to the
publisher. You can’t print a live
newspaper in a-dead town. But
Texas towns are, for the most part,
liva -and-progressive, -and tbey nre
represented by live and progressive
newspapers, The two are insepa-
rable. Where there is one there

tine, Texas, Sim Garrett and Jerry
I eel, two would-be poisoners, were
hanged by a mob of indignant citi-
zens. In both cases the evidence
was conclusive and the guilty
wretches were hurled into eternity
without ceremoriy. Blood-stained
criminals, men whose presence is a
menace to society, at times escape
the penalty oftheir wrohg doing by
the process of law, but Judge Lynch
never wavers when he holds court.
Technicalities do not count; the
sophistries and specious pleas of el-
oquent barristers fall flat upon the
ear of this terrible court and retrib-
utive justice is dealt out without
fear or favor. Mob Jaw is a terrible
thing, but its advocates hold to the

to an announcement made from
VVashington yesterday that Gov.
Eagle of Arkansas has .positive in-
formation concerning the identity of
the assassin of J. M. Clayton of that
state, a dispatch from Little Rock
says: Governor Eagle has evidence
which will convict the murderer,
but he will not make it public until
it is submitted to a congressional
investigating committee which is to
be there late this week. It ie sta-

. The reputation of a man or wo-
man is a sacred heritage that should
never be assailed except by the in-
vincible weapons of truth. Rum or
and suspicion may blight a life, but
not protect society. When truth
destroys falsehood society is bene-
fited, but when falsehoods triumph
society suffers.
The man who takes a newspaper
seven or eight years on a credit, and
then pleads hard times and stops
his paper because the proprietor
calls on him for his money, is not a
fit character to hold up as an illus-
tration to refute the doctrine of the
total depravity of the human heart.

claimed that at the proper time a
,satisfactory • SJphnntiow #1J1 be
made why the assassin is not in the

being his identity has been known
only a few days and it has been nec-
essary to bis conviction to secure

Zs Consumption Incurable,
Read the following: Mr. C. H. Mofri*,
Nowark, Aik., 6ay«: “Was down with Ab-
scess of Longs, and friends and physicians
pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive.
Began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, am now on my third bottle,
and able to oversee the work on my farm. It
is the finest medicine ever made.”
Jesse Middleware, Decatur, Ohio, says.
Had it not been fdr Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption I would have died of
Lung Troubles. Was given un by doctors.
Am now in the best of health.’1* Try it.

Referring to the late Samuel J.
Randall, the Times*Democrat says;
“He was distinguished in tha;
stainless integrity which kept him
a poor man when others with his
opportunities would long ago have
been millionaires, but the crowning

his defeat of the reconstruction in-
famy t And on the heart of every
