Ilogg said something about tho
election of a United States scuator.
But it was none of his busiuoss,
The Marlin Ball thus tantalizos tho
governor: "When Gov. Hogg starts
out on his 'vindicating' tour ho will
be reminded by the people of what
Hamlet said to tho players: 1
heard thee spoak mo a speech onoo,
it was never acted; or, if it was, not
abovo onco.' "
Tho San Antonio Express ia no
for Clark for governor, it dooms,
though it has always been, until re
oently, opposed to Hogg. Tho Ex
press is a protection paper and a
Hill paper and Clark's Donton Bpeeoh
wherein ho said ho was for "the low
est tariff you ever saw any kind of a
tariff is an abomination to me," proba
ably settled his hash, so far as the Ex
press is concerned, but leaving that out
tho Hogg boom seems to be boomed
by tho same boomers as is the Hill
boom in Texas, an j with about the
snmo suoaoss, and, perhaps between
Hogg and Clark the Express prefers
Hill.
Now and then a Hogg paper calls
George Clark a railroad attornoy
There are very few able attorneys in
the state who have not at some time
beon employed by one or tho other of
railroad corporations and it is tho very
best ovidenoo of superior talent.
George dark has been a railroad at
tornoy but suoh oonncction ceased
five years ago, savo as general attor
noy for the receivers of tho Cotton
Belt while that road was in tho hands
of Fordyco and Ssvanson. It has been
nearly two years since tho practical
termination of that receivership which
ended George Clark's connection with
the railroads in any capacity whatevor.
Can tho Hogg papers say as much for
Hogg's sonator, Horaoo Chilton or
Hogg's ohairman of the Domocratio
exeoutivo oommittoo, N. Webb Fin
loy? Tho San Antonio Democrat says:
"Hon. Wob. Finley, ohairman of
the Btato oommittoo of Texas, oamo
out openly to a reporter of tho Galves
ton Nows in disparagement of tho
candidacy of tho Hon. Geo. Clark and
dcclarod that he, Clark, has fallen
into a trap and hasn't the ghost of a
show. Ho further indulges in caustio
criticism of the Waoo statesman. As
a voter, Mr. Finley has tho right to
cast his ballot for whom he pleases.
As ohairman of the state oommittoo, a
dooont respect for the dignity of his
own position and tho opinions of largo
numbers of his follow Democrats do
mands that ho keep his hands off tho
contest between rival candidates,
The Democrat must remember that
Mr. Finley is a Hogg heeler although
ho is supposed to ropresent tho entire
party as ohairman of tho oxeoutivo
committoo. When he discovered that
the sub-treasury Democrats were op
posed to Ilogg ho proceeded to read
them out of the party. ThiB is to be
a campaign of Domooratio principles
against personal aggrandizement,
Ueorgo Clark stands as the embodi
ment of the first and Jamos Stephen
Hogg for the last. Whioh will Toxans

THE ALLEE-BOWEN CASE.
Tho trial of A. Y. Alleo for killing
W, 0. Bowon was concluded in
Austin Thursday, and Alleo was ao
quitted. Tho Dallas Nows correspond
ent in roporting tho conclusion says:
"Tho law mill has consumed nuny
thousands of dollars in tho trial of
Alleo. Cynioal people aro heard to
say that the governor has waited for
a verdiot of guilty in this case to open
his campaign with a trumpet blast."
This paper somo months ag pointed
out'tho flagrant violation of ovory
principle of justioe and froedom in
tho conduct of Govornor Hogg in tho
Alleo case. The Alleo-Bowon
difficulty was purely a personal diffi
oulty in whioh Bowen was unfortu
nate onough to loso his life. Alice
surrendered to tho first officer he
found and announood ready for trial
boforo the court of his county, and
just as both parties, defendant as one
and tho prosooutiog attorney for the
state in Frio county as the
other, answerod ready, the judge re
ceived a telegram from Govornor Hogg
asking that tho trial be postponed a
few days, until he, Gov. Hogg, could
send special oounsel to assist in the
prosecution. Tho governor's request
was granted and at tho appointed
time a distinguished oriminal lawyor
of San Antonio arrived on the scone.
The trial lasted two or threo wooks,
and in addition to the special eounsol
for tho proscoution a compa
ny of rangers was placed at the
disposal of tho stato's attorneys and
were used freely in drumming up tes
timony against defondant, Allee was
refused bail. Since that time until
two weeks ago ho has been lying in
the San Antonio jail, having beon de
nied bail in a habeas coipus trial in
which the samo methods were em
ployed as in the examining trial. Tho
oase was removed to Austin and tried
before District Judge Rob
inson and despito the tact
that tho administration and
his satellites were clamoring for
blood tho jury after hearing all the
evidence, rendered a verdiot of not
guilty. Tho caso has not a parallel in
tho history of Toxas. Mo executive
ever used tho machinery of the
state to prosecute, (persecute would be
tho better word) a man for killing
another in a personal difficulty
before. Tho midnight assas
sin and highwayman whoso
methods suggest conspiricy and
revenge or robbery is a worthy subjeot
of such exeoutivo consideration but
Allee was neither of these. Ho had
been assaulted repeatedly by Bowon
through tho columns of the Cottula
Ledger who refused to give any satis
faction whatever. The two men had
carried arms for each other for months
and it was gonerally bolieved that
when they met thoro would bo a fight.
They met and did fight and Bowon
went down.
Tho writer knew Alleo well when
both were boys. Was with him on
tho range in Southwest Texas for sov-
oral years and while he was always
ready to defend his person or name
he was not quarrelsome His dispo
sition may have changed, but be that
as it may, ho has a right in common
with every other citizen of Toxas to
defend himsolf in a personal difficulty
without having the entire state gov
ernment swoop down upon him with
an imperitivo demand for his life.

IGNORANCE Off KNAVERY WHICH?
Count No. 10 of the governor's call
reads as follows:
To amend Art. 2S!)o, revised stat
utcs, aad amendmoLis thcroto, that
rooeivcrs of railways aud other corpor
ations may be hold liiblo for damages
when the death or injury to persons
is o-uised by tho negligence or care
lossness of themselves or their ser
vants in executing their trusts.
Article 2S!)f) is under title f2, ro
vised statutes, and section 1 reads as
follows: "When tho doath of any
person is caused by the negligcnoo or
carelessness of tho proprietor, owner,
ohar.crer, or hirer of any railroad, &a.,
or by tho unfitness, negligence or
carelessness of .their servants or
agents."
Tho statute proceeds to provide for
tho right of any relative to sue for
damagos whore a party was killed
through the ncgligsnco of any of tho
attaches mentioned abovo. The com
mon law bold ttiat wnen a
per-
son
died,
eauso
of
action
died with him and it was to give rela
tives the right of action that the abovo
artiolo was incorporated in the stat
utes. Any person injured has a right
under tho common law tn sue and no
statute is needed to mako receivers
iiablo for damages in suoh oases. Tho
question arises: Did Governor Hogg
inolude tho words "or injury to per
sons" ignorantly or did he insert it
to catch the sympathy of crippled
railway employes aud their friends
who do not hnow they havo cause of
action in common law. If Governor
Hogg who has beon attorney general
of the state two terms and is reputod
by his friends to bo a first blass lawyer,
does not know onough law tn kno-v
that a statuto is not needc 1 to enable
a person to sue lor damages in oase of
injury, tho people of Texas have been
imposed upon in n most scandalous
manner. If Gov. Iloge; did koow
that a statuto was not needed in such
cases why did he inolude it in his call?
The title is styled "Aotions tor inju
ries resulting in death " Whero
death doea not result there is
no need of a statute, because
tho injured party, being alive, has
right of action in common law. Tho
only defeot in the statuto is that re
ceivers aro not included, as will bo
seen by tho abovo quotation from sec
tion 1, and all that is needed to ac
complish tho purpose is to include
"receivers" with other agents and
managers therein mentioned.
