havo nothing to do with tho question
of his guilt or inuooenco of thu ohurgo
upon whloli ho was nrrcstod by olllccrs

much to do with tho effect on Fort

btihl propo itlou is whether legally
qualified officers holding legal writs In
their hands can executo them in Fort
Worth Tho demonstration Satur
day night was a demonstration of tlio
weakness of tho organized forces of
law Tho sympathy of friends Is n
natural feeling and of itMicro can bo
no condemnation unless aa In this
case it sots Itself tigalust tho
suproniacy of law Then It
becomes it question with tho people
whether law or lawleesness shall rule
If an nnulyels of theso ouourrerecs
ahull bring tho law abiding citizens of
Fort Worth to a realisation of what is
needed to strengthen tho law they
will not prove an unmixed ovll to thu
City As tho ensu nowsUtud nothing
that has over happened in Fort Worth
beforo hus been so lnjiiiloim or so dis

Monoy on Hand
Tarrant county Is reported on tho as
sessment rolbi as fifth or sixth among
tho counties of tho fitato lu nggregnlo
wealth yet its tumowed valuo ot
money on hnutl for 1881 was fll SO
aud thta year that column Ih tepro
sented by n blank Many counties of
much Inferior wealth reported In 1SS1
from t > 250 WW to 300000 of money on
hand Lamar stnudlug at tho head
with W 17000 followed by Harris with
f53i000 Washington with 303000
Kaufman with 181000 nnd many
others with over n quarter of rt million
Tito first reeling is ono of surprise that
n county so wealthy populous and
projtsiwlvo as Tnrrnnt with nolty thu
fourth among tho cities of tho state
should display such a poverty of
money on hnutl In Mint rofpcot being
distanced by countloj of comparative
lualgntlloMiooi but a moments
thought will oxplatu why this Is so
nnd show Unit Hlmiodtficiroillt to tho
county
Mcmoy BU hnud moans money tut
employed in bu liiM8 Idle mid im
produotlvo capital Tarrant county
has none of that Wo believe in tho
nimble sixpence horo nnd follow
clo o In practice to our belief Tho
diligent sennut whoso llvo talonIh
wore turned Into other flvo talenta is
our pattern not tho slothful ono who
buried hix talent nnd upon demand
rendered it again to his lord without
Increase and received his tit reward
by being turned out of tho llrm Wo
dont bury our wealth or hoard It up
in old sooks stulfed in chimneywalls
Our business men put their cnpltal
Into enterprises that will build up Fort
Worth nnd men of humbler means
put theirs In homes nnd Improve
ments It is tills spirit that has niado
Fort Worth nnd nourished it until It
now stands among tho first of Texas
towns Idlo wealth Is poverty for It
feeds nobody and employs no
body and represents In tho
form of money on hand
so much money retired from circula
tion nnd Is to that extent neon traction
of tho currency
As long as Tarrant county can con
tlntto to add lo Its wealth nt tho rate of
25 per cent n year as it has done in
tho kst year It can get along without
any money on hand to ossoss and
does not need to bo envious of thoso
counties that report hair n million
dollars on hand contributing nothing
to anybodys wealth or happiness
