JUST BEFORE TIIE BATTLE.
Go to church this morning, it is
your duty as doubtless your pleasure,
but before you take the Iraln at noon
for Houston give an hour's reflection
as a citizen of Texas to the duties that
will confront you there. You are a
delegate to a great Democratic con
vention, a convention whose member
ship will number elmost 1000. You
are only oue man, r. small part per
haps of such a great body of men, but
Individual responsibility cannot there
be more escaped, be better hid in such
a body than in the world at large
with its millions of human bouIs, each
one a separate entity. How will you
as oue man, one delegate discharge
your duty to your county and to your
state io that convention? Havoyou
made up your mind? If not do not
wait for the excitement of the
convention to move you; don't
wait to be determined by
the enthusiasm of a moment; but sit
down today quietly in your own room,
go over with yourself the situation
and arrive at your duty, and when
the time for action comes you will
the better pel form it.
We are at the close of the moat mem
orable political ante-convention cam
paign in the history of Texas. The
long roll of counties has been called
and their delegates are now en route
to the scene of their labors. What of
their action? The whole state is in
the throes of expectant excitement.
For, leaving out of question, the issues
of the campaign and favoritism as
between the two candidate!) for the
governorship, the state is anxious for
the welfare of that political party
which has so long governed her af
fairs. In the past the people have
looked only to the Democratic conven
tions for their rulers. When these con
vtntious have spoken, the people have
turned again contentedly to their
daily avocations, and business has
routed politics. But there are those
who now loudly proclaim that
this year will mark a departure from
this time honored precedent; that ii
either of the present candidates 1b
nominated the fight will be continued
until the ballot box is closed in
November, and that it will not be a
fight between Democracy and a com
mon foe, but a fight of which the most
bitter feature will be the warring of
Democrat against Democrat the
stabbing of Democracy in the home of
its friends. Can such so ominous pre
diction have foundation in actual
cause for fear of calamity so dread? If
s" can the ambition of any man, the
partisan zeal of any faction be allowed
to foment such internal strife? For
we are not building for today, or to
morrow, but for all the future. The
glorious Democratic majority that has
been our proud boast and bulwark
must not be imperiled. Start the
entering wedge now and when may it
not be driven home, splitting the
grand old Democratic party in twain
and forfeiting to us the right and
power to rule the greatest state in the
Union?
tso we say to you this morning
yours is a personal and individual
responsibility in that convention
Have you weighed well the responsl
bility and have you determined upon
such a line of conduct as will result in
the best good to your party and your
state? If not, take the hours of today
before your journey commences, for
communion with yourself, your con
science and your duty.
should make it grow more rapidly
than Any state in the Union. Can the
Houston convention answer why ?
Mrs. W. H Tohin has organized a
very strong local board of lady
World's Fair workers in San Antonio.
The systematic location of these
boards will be continued in all the
cities of the state, and as soon aa they
are organized they should get active
ly at work raising money for the
World's Fair building in Chicago.
This is a noble cause in which our
Texas ladies have enlisted a cause
that will reflect great and lasting
glory and benefit on the state. They
should be assisted by the moneyed
men and lovers of Texas everywhere
throughout the state.

It may be very annoying to Con
tractor Corrigan and his men that a
previous engagement forbids them
mingling with the clans at Houston
this week; but Austin's consolation is
she in getting that dam rapidly built,
politics to the contrary notwithstand
ing. In this connection the thought
occurs, if the state could dam up poli
tics for a term of years, even at a cost
of $1,500,000, might it not be more
profitable to her than that great wall
of granite will be to us, however san
guine we may be of the revenue we
will reap.
During these glorious days for
picking cotton, and while we are de
veloping all that water power just
above town, it is not a source of much
satisfaction to think that the cotton
mills are thousands of miles away,
and that ail that wealth of white raw
material will pass right through our
streets to make other cities and towns
Immensely rich. We must get amove
on our cotton factories. Move them
in and set them up along the banks of
the Colorado.
And one of the signers of that com
unit ion petition comes out with a de
nial of the genuiness of his signature.
Are there any more to follow suit?
Uentlomen, gentlemen, this will not
do. It is too late now to deny the
soft impeachment. The commutation

The Third party men are elated
over the report that Judge Walter Q.
Gresham will make speeches for their
national ticket. The Democracy of
the nation smiles a quiet smile to
itself and will hold up Judge Gresh
am s arms in eloquent debate as he
wins Third party votes from the ranks
of the Republicans in Indiana and II
linois. We want those states this fall
and we want them badly success to
you, Judge Gresham.
The Sau Antonio Express sums up
the present strained relations after
this wise: "The Clark men go to
Houston do not desire to disrupt the
party. They want only justice. They
ask only justice. Justice they will
have. They are citizens and taxpayers
of th 9 state of Texas and they have a
right to a voice in the naming of its
ofilcers." Is not this fair will this
course prevail at Houston ?
The assessment rolls of the lire f
twenty-two counties that have report
ed show a net falling oir in values
from last yrar of $174,100. In only one
of these counties, Galveston, is a city
of any considerable size, so the falling
off can not be credited to a cessation
of operations by "town lot boomers"
the governor's special aversion. If
the present administration has been
so very prosperous as his friends
claim, will some one please point out
the reason 'for this shrinkage in
counties in such a new state as Texas

Col. King in Prison.
Nashville, Aug. 11. H. Clay
King, the Memphis murderer, arrived
in this city at an early hour this morn
ing and was at once conveyed to the
state prison by Sheriff McLendon.
The sheriff brought the prisoner by
way of Nortonsville, Ky. Their jour
ney was a quiet one. At 2:20 this
morning Sheriff McLendon received a
telegram informing him that there
was danger that H. Clay King would
be lynched at McKenzie, an armed
crowd having left Memphis for that
purpose. The sheriff then pnrchased
tickets to Nortonville, Ky., where
they took another railroad for Nash

London, Aug. 13. A special to the
Times from Tangeir statos that the
sultan's troops who were driven back
upon Tangeir a few days ago by the
rebel, Angherita, have been reinforc

Alter burning the villages and set

he writes that he will starve them

Lynn, Mass., Aug. 13. The Lynn
Item today publishes a statement that
Andrew Borden of Fall River gave the
principal testimony which convicted
the ringleaders of mutiny on the
echooner Richard Borden while on a
voyage from foreign porta to this
country. That he and his wife were
on the vessel; that his testimony in
court was declared by the sailors to be
false and exaggerated and that the
men who suffered by it vowed ven
geance against him. Most, if not all
of them, have been released and it is
submitted that several were in Fall
River at the time of the murder.
AS VIEWED AT FALL RIVER.
Fall River, Mass.. Auar. 13. A
reaction in the Borden case has set in
and today the popular feeling is
noticeably quiet. There is very little
save the event is being discussed on
rue streets, and wnac lew cases seen
were among business men. Three
days ago it was the popular cry that
aiiss lizzie was tne criminal and
should be placed behind iron bars.
I'oday although the district attorney
ana tne judges nave passed opinions
on the evidence, there are manv
thoughtful and influential men who
believe the trial will substantiate
Miss Borden's plea of innocence.
There is now but one policeman at
the Borden homestead and he is doing
patrol duty on the street to prevent
curious people fiom annoying the
family. While direct police suiveil-
lance has been removed from Morse
and Miss Sullivan's, yet their whole
connection with the case will be cone
over by the police again within the
next few days and they will not be
far away should the police again need
tnem. mere win not be a great many
witnesses summoned lor tne prelim
inary hearing unless present plans
are changed. The prosecutions will
be opened to reporters.
The marshal again denies the state
ment editorially and otherwise in
many papers to the effect that no
search was made until after the funer
al . Search was made three times dur
ing the afternoon of the day of the
murder and Miss Lizzie's room was
searcneu as tnorougniy as other por
tions of the buildings. The police are
inquiring again as to the details of
the mysteries which took place at the
Borden home about a year ago. A
lady's watch and several articles of
jewelry were taken from tbe dressing
uase iu one oi tne upper rooms and to
this day the police have been unable
to trace the thief.
Some years ago the shin Jefferson
Borden was bound from a foreign port
to this country. She was seized by
mutineers who claimed to be cruelly
treated by the officers, and in the
general struggle and confusion the
captain was struck with a marlin
spike and killed. The ringleaders of
the mutiny, five in number, were
overpowered and placed in irons, and
woeu tne vessel reacned port thev
were brought before the courts for
trial. 1 wo of them were Americans,
iwo jsruisu subjects ana one Portu
guese, who claimed to be
a subject of Queen Victoria. In court
the men told fearful and pitiable
story oi innuman treatment, that they
were forced to wild desperation until
mey organized a mutiny and attempt
ed to get control ol the ship. Among
tbe men that were in the general fight
wnicn occurred it was absolutely Im
possioie to nave captured tne mur
derer. By the aid of the English gov-
ernment the three foreigners either
escaped or got light terms of
imprisonment and the two Americans
were declared guilty by the courts
and sentenced to death. The latter
sentence was commuted to life in the
state prison. The principal testimony
wnicn ine courts took under consider
ation and acted on was given by a
gentleman on Doard with ins wife at
the time, and who was the principal
owner of the ship. Against this man
the prisoners long ago swore that they
would have revenge. That man was
Andrew J. Borden of Fall River, who
with his wife have gone down to
death by the assassin's hand.
me daughter's story of two
strangers about the house on the day
of the murder seems to have no weight
witn tne ponce, aitnougn it may have
later on it it snouid be learned that
they were two of the .five men who
were engaged in the murder. Up to
a year ago the most strenuous efforts
were made by a man named Sullivan,
prominent in the Atlantic seamen's
union, to secure the release of the two
men confined in the Thomaston
state prison. Petitions for their pard
on were signed oy an trade and labor
organizations of the country and pre
sented to President Harrison and it is
believed that the men were pardoned
about eight months ago. If these
men were released and the fact can be
established that they or any of their
comrades in the mutiny were in or
about Fall River on the day of the
murder, it may relieve Lizzie Borden,
as a victim of circumstantial evidence.

I have used Gouaux's Asthma Mix

she would not be without them for
anything in the world. She is 70'
years old. E. N. Roth,
