Tho confoSMlon of younif l'omvlbo
if the mil r J or of Truufc-urt-r Hill, is a
tad commentary Jou tho iutluunco of
tho whirij Irafllo on society. This
horribli crime was notoiil.jon.nutled
under the influence of liquor, but the
dutoction was made from the same
influence. No sooner had tho dotntv
live, Mr. IVrker, arrived at Panola
tli bo young Foreytbe approached him
ind joined iu the search. His con
duct was not altogether natural, and
the detoctivfi, in order to see whether
he did not have largo suras of money,
availed himself of young Forsythe's
fondness for gambling. He won all
th young man's money at several
sittings, but he returned with a re
plenished pocket-book continually.
The detective set a watch to sen
whore young Forsythe went, and
found ho went home in every instaco.
As silver had beon takon from tin
treasury, the detective asked Fory the
for change. He brought it. He wns
soen to visit a woods noar his father's
home. There tho silver was found.
Forsythe waB arrested, confessed it
all, asked them to hang, but not burn
him. He climbed the ladder to a limb
of a tree and at the word, with a rope
attached to the limb and aronnd his
neck, leaped off to an awful death.
His confession is about as follows:
Some of Forsythe's relatives went
to the jail to nee him and have an in
terview with him. To them bo statod
Mint lie alone bad anvthinor to do with
the murder; that he know ho had to
dio and that ho was rondy. The only
time that he evincod any wcaknos
was when be was asked if he wmlind
to see bis mother. He bowed bis
bead and shook it negatively, but
said ho would like to see his father
and brother, nis relatives told him
to prepare, for it was his last night
on oartb; that tho people were aotor-
roined to lynch him. He said no did
not caro if they hung or shot him,
but ho did not want to be burned.
The indifference he displayed, tho
lack of sense of the enormity of tho
crime, is marvelous in one so yonng,
for he was barely 21. He sat in the
court-room dictating bis confession
as coolly as could a butohor tellin? of
such an evory day occurf nee as kill
ing a beef, and this stolid indiffuronco
or "crimen esH," lantod to the end. He
was of powerful phygiqno, dissipated
and wild, drank freolv all the time,
and tho only exculpation ho offered
of his crime was that ho was so drunk
bo did no know what he was doing.
By this one tragical act the light
of two homes has boon extinguished
Little can those exempt from such
anguish realize the unrelenting
agony that wrings that mother's
hoart. It ia the agony in hor heart
of a doath that will not die. We
doprecate extravagance and dospiRO
almost morbidly, all forms of fanati
oism, but wo deliberately declare that
the life of Trensurer Hill and tho
broken heart of that mother are worth
more than all the liquor, and the lib
erty which the selling of it repreRen t,
in tho world. May a merciful God
haston the day when the conscience
of an cnlightoned civilization may
awake to tho enormity of legalizing a
traffic which daily results in the most
awful forms of crime.
We copy the above from the Texas
Baptist and Herald. We think it is
probable that the mob who took
young Forsythe's life, for a murder
committed under the evil influence of
intemperance, was composed mainly
if not altogether, of nuti-prouilri
tionists. We wonder if they did not
at last reolizo, in hia deed, the legiti
mate results of the traffic to whose
support thoy have stood plodged?
Yet we suppose they did not, or they
would scarcely have felt warranted in
assuming, as they did, the ornce oi
both judgo and avenger of his crime
Again, it is to this monstrous evil,
fraught with such direful results, that
George Clarke and his disciples de
mand that oil democratic yotorsraust
swear allegiance, or be ruled out of
tho party. They must not oven be
allowed to keep silence on the sub
ject, but must openly renounce their
manhood nud moral and Christiau
principles by endorsing this idea of
Clarke and Co., as a part of tho state
platform, under pain of political ex
communication! Intelligent Democrats of Texas,
what thiuk you? Will you obey this
arrogant, insulting behestl We
shall see.

Tilt Tlll ll. Of THK JuiMiMCNT, He-
! viuw of the Anarchists' Case, la the
titio of a handsome pamphlet of 75
P'igts by Oen. M. Trumbull, an able
lawyer of Chicago. It is addressed
to lawyers quiU as much aa popular
readers, and challenges tha attention
of nil thinking people. The nuttier
say) "Thut the wrong done in the
anarchist trial and judgment way bo
riglitod as fur as posoiblo, and that a
like wrong may never again be done
in tho Unitod States, this review is
written." We believe it will go far
with its readers in effecting the ob
ject in view. It loaves the conviction
that in the language of Hon. Lyman
Trumbull quotod by Gon. Trumbull
"the trial bad the appearance of a
trial of an organization known aa an
archists, rather than of persona in
dicted for the murder of Degan." In
this connection we ask attention to
tho remarkable letter of Gen. Butler
wbioh appears elsewhere in our col
umns. Gen. Trumbull ia an old
Mexican veteran, a soldier of the late
war. an able lawyer, a logical reason
er and a clear, ready and forcible
writer, and, by the way, does not
endorse the violent methods of the
anarchists, but holds that the great
as well as the small should bo com
pelled to obey the law. Copies of
the pamphlet under notioe may bo

It seems elevating Frederick to the
control of the German empire has
been the most strengthening tonic
evor administered to him. Ho is said
now to be in better physical condition
than for many months. It is earnest
ly to be hoped he will livo and bold
the reins of the German government
until his son William can outgrow
tho ardor of youth, and settle down
into the mature discretion and i
doin of middle ago.
The above happy paragraph
W1B-
is
from the Austin Statesman. The
now emperor, judging from his reo
ord, as also from his physiognomy, is
of quite superior type as a man to
either his father or his son. Later
advices, however, are to the effect
that ho is again declining in health,
which will be regretted by good peo
ple throughout the world.
The Fort Worth Southwest thus
justly sums up the record of the late
emperor of Germany:
William had a many great qualities
but unfortunately ho had many other
qualities that wero ueither great nor
good. He was a bolioyer iu the di
viuo right of kings to rule. He was
always an enemy to popular liberty.
He was opposod to progress unless
that progress meant the aggrandise
ment of the Hohenzollerns. He
would consent to make the people
happy if to do so would make him
self Great. But to make himself
great and his state powerful was bis
hist thought.
Fort Worth and Denver are at last
connected by railroad. This is a truly
important consummation. The Den
ver News justly says:
The News this morning announces
tho completion of the track that con
nocts Denver with the seaboard. The
most sanguine man in the state not
even Governor Evans, to who match
less faith and tireless energy and en
terprise this great achievement is
mainly due cannot over estimate
the far-reaching importance of this
road to the future history of Denver
and to tho prosperity of Colorado.
All bail to the event! Its formal cel
ebration, soon to take plaoe, should
surpass any occasion of rejoicing ever
witnessed in the state.
The man who expects to cast bis
vote at the coming genera election,
for the public good, should lose no
time in gettiug posted on current
conditions And their causes and strive
to find out the proper remedies. The
voter, of course, who is wil!:ng to bo
used as a mete tool and do us La in
told, or as some party leader adviser,
it is not necessnry that he should
know anything. But those who have
tho Kalf-reapcct and honest ambition
to bo thinking and independent
votors must investgiate public ques
tions. Never mind the clap-traps of
tho partisan leaders hbout tho inter
ests of party, or of the professional
politicians about the probable or im
probable election of this or tlmt in
dividual. Strive to comprehend the
most important issues a: ' ! ;iif-h them
to the front regardless of party or in
dividual interest. Keep those prin
ciples to the front and crowd tlie
noisy politicians to the rear. Be iu
enrueMt in tho matter and bIiow your
determination to bo imposed ou no
longer by parties or party promises.

Chicago, March li. Tha AIhiui
paper, ouca edited by the anarchist
Parsons, will tomorrow publish a
somewhat remarkable column lotUr
from Gun. B. F. Butler to Cupt P.
W. Black, received a few days ago.
In the course of disoussing mutters
connected with the csso of Spies and
other Haymarttet defendants, Gon,
Butler thus refers to bis association
with Captain Black: "Our ploasant
circumstances, joined us unsuccess
fully to save the lives of men who
were unlawfully convicted and unwise
ly executed."
The Genoral then, after declaring
that ha bad not believed it possible
that snob palpable judical murdors
could again prevail in this country,
proceeds to compare at length the
anarchists' trial and death with tho
persecution of people for witchcraft
in colonial Massachusetts.
"Being fully imbued with this
knowledgeof what good men will do,"
writes Gen. Butlor, "when they are
either frightened with thoir souls or
their bodies, it has not been to me a
source of so much wonder as it might
otherwise have been, bow the law was
administered in frenzy in Chicago.
Years benco, when you and I have
passed away, the cosos of the witches
and the case of the anarchists will be
compared by just-minded men more
than tboy are now. I hope there
may one fact follow in the anarobisU'
cases that followed in the witches'
cases: Judgo Sewall, a revercned
clergyman, one of the judges of the
witches, before be died learned bow
greatly be bad erred and sinned
against God, and he repented in sack
cloth and ashes. Literally coming
out in the face of bis congregation,
and standing in the broad aisle of the
curch exclaiming, while his written
confession of bis sins and folly in the
witobes oases wns being tried: 'Alas!
God have mercy on mo for what I
have done.' "
General Butler says he "fears that
no one of the judges of the anarch'
ists' case, though having the incred
ible folly of Judge Sewell, will have
his piety, in publicly appealing to
God for mercy. The letter couclnd
es:
"One further fact, whioh I send to
you for your comfort. The deter
mined action of a single member of
our profession standing up against
this witohcraft crnzo brought it to an
end. I look for like fruits to come
from what you have done."
It sends a mingled feeling of sad
ness, shame and regret through the
heart that has not been there so cal
loused by avaricious greed that it has
lost all sympathy for suffering human
ity, to look over the statistics and
see the vast millions, in this land of
plenty, that are actually suffering
from hunger, BiJivenug with cold and
many of them even dying of hunger;
and that too, while heroically strug
gling to win from the world an hon
est living by honest toil. And this,
too, in a Christian laud where mil
lions of money are raised evory year
to send the gospel to heathen nations,
While we admire and delight to
speak approvingly of the Christ-like
spirit manifested in thus sending the
oread of life to -those who know not
God; yet we cannot help but feol that
the fair name of Christianity is being
somewhat beclouded because of this,
their shameful neglect of the hungry,
shivering, dying, neglected poor of
this land of Bibles and religion.

Tho hail storm in the -Ne w Eng
land and Eastern States Sunday
night last was one of tho mot't de
structive ever known. The loss ap-
Jeara to be simply incalculable. The
oss in stoppage of business, and
damages done is estimated in New
York City alone at not less than $7,
000,000, and the whole States in
volved at $20,000,000. Many per
sons perished from cold and exhaus
tion; the number of vessels lost is not,
known, but believed to be large. A
famine threatened New York; milk
sold as high ns 50 cents a quart.
The snow drifted in places 15 to 20
feet high, almost wholly suspending
travel and trade. Iu some places in
Pennsylvania the railroad tracks
were covered with snow to a depth of
twepty-Svo feet. Thousands of per-
Kun') wire snow bound in trains
which could neither go back nor for

Robert Bonner as a Boy.
When I was a boy, and before I
had started out for mysolf, I was one
of the laziest hiimun beings that it
was possible to imagine. I bad a
healthy and constitutional repug
nance to work at Bny time. When I
was about 14 or 15 years old, how
ever, I went into The Hartford Cour
ant office as a boy at a salary of $25
a year and my board, with an addi
tion of $10 each succeeding j ear. As
soon as I felt that I had begun life
myself an entire change was wrought
in my nature. Some of my old as
sociates would laugh at anybody
now who told them that I ever had
any disinclination for work. As soon
as I found something ahead of me.
something to accomplish, I started
right out to accomplish it and to
work with u will. I not only did the
work that was laid out for me to do,
but I learned everything that I could
about the office, and when one of the
printers suddenly withdrew, whose
duty it had been to put the paper to
press, I was the only one in the oflice
who was competent to take nis place.
