Coke on Hoar.
Washington, D. C. Sept. 12.—In
the senate to-day the question of the
Washington county, Tex., election
and of the recent assassination there
of Joseph Hoffman, a witness before
the senate committee which had bee 1
investigating that subject, was brought
up by a resolution offered by Senator
Spooner, and a heated political dis-cussion
followed.
Senator Saulsbury said he regarded
it as a disgrace to the constituency of
the senate of the United States for the
body to be converted into a political
machine to advance the interest of the
republican candidate for the presi-dency.
Such investigations were got
up merely for political effect, but they
were a disgrace to the senate, and
were responsible in every point of
view for trying to keep up animosity
at the south.
Senator Hoar treated the remarks
of Senator Saulsburj as an uncon-scious
admission that putting a stop to
political murders at the south and the
establishing of a free ballot and fair
count there was to the advantage of
the republican party. The senator
from Delaware was quite right in that.
He had no doubt that every locality
in Texas where these things had hap-pened
were in the district now rep-resented
by the author of the Mills
bill. The people, if there could be
an honest and tair vote not interrup-ted
by murder and violence, would by
a large majority pronounce against
that raid upon the industries and in-terest
of the wage earners of the coun-try.
He denied that the outrages in
Texas, Mississippi and other states
were the result of race controversies,
but the results of democratic efforts to
maintain supremacy.
Senator Coke declared that the
senator from Masachusetts (Hoar) had
in a few minutes misrepresented the
testimony taken more than it had been
perverted in the whole discussion to-day.
The senate had been seeking
what he was utterly ignorant of. He
added that the murder of young Bolton
in Brenham (for which three negroes
had been hanged) was a cold blooded
murder perpetrated by negroes. It
was wrong that these negroes were
taken out of jail and haged, but it was
done because they had assisted in the
murder of young Bolton. There was
nothing political in it. It had noth-ing
in the world to do with politics.
Referring to Senator Hoar’s remark
about the Mills bill Senator Coke said
Mr. Mills was able to answer for himself,
and that if the senator desired to talk
further Mr. Roger Q. Mills would go
to Boston and discuss the tariff with
him and be glad of an opportunity.
Senator Hoar asked him whether
he had heard by this morning’s paper
that the republican party of Texas
had resolved on account of violence
not to put a state ticket in the field.
Senator Coke replied it was a gross
and palpable falsehood. There was
not a republican in Texas who was
not as fearless of consequences in his
political and other actions as the sena-tor
from Massachusetts when he was
at his home. The republicans of
Texas were not putting a ticket in the
field because by combining with a lot
of odds and ends and isms of other
politics they hoped to accomplish re-suits
which they knew they would be
powerless to accomplish as
republicans. The pretense of
lawlessness in Texas was a
fraud and sham gotton up for political
purposes to gain a few votes and make
a few people at home think their sen-ators
were very smart. This thing
had been kept up for a couple of years
to be brought up now to deceive the
people, and to accomplish this the
senator from Massachusetts had un-dertaken,
as a blind, to insrruct the
senate that the trouble in Texas was a
race prejudice. As to the tariff is-sue,
if there was anything in this
world which the average Texan would
go ?uy number of miles out of his way
to kick and kill and destroy, it was
the protective tariff.
At the close of Senator Coke’s
speech the resolution went over with-out
action and the senate adjourned.

Foul Play.
Clarendon, Tex., Sept. 12.—Quite a
sensation was caused by a gentleman
driving into town about 5 o’clock
this evening and stating that he had
seen a dead man lying out in the open
prairie about fifteen miles north of
town. He says it appeared to be about
15 or 16 years old, dressed in dark
gray clothes. His horse was lying
close by also dead, and the saddle and
bridle near as though they had been
taken off and placed there. The gen-tleman
says he did not stop to exam-ine
the body, but hurried into town to
report the fact. It is tho general im-pression
that the boy is the son of C.
B. Howeston, the mail contractor be-tween
Clarendon and Mobeetie. The
young man left Clarendon with the
mail this morning. The body is on
the mail route. The officers have gone
to the place, and will be back in the
morning.

A Civil Cause Celebre.
San Antonio. Sept 12.—In the dis-trict
court to-day the suit of Elisha C.
Tatum vs. A. B. Frank of San Anto-nio
and F. A. Coleman, ex-sheriff of
Kerr county, ended with a verdict of
$10,769 for the plaintiff. The case
has became a civil cause celebre,
on account of the manv delays to
which it has been subjected. In 1882
Mr. Tatum was a merchant in Kerr-ville
and was closed up, he alleges
wrongfully, on attachments in favor of
A. B. Frank and others, served by
the sheriff. The suit was brought and
Tatum got a verdict for $10,000. A
new trial was granted and Tatum got
another verdict for $lo,ooo. One
more new trial was granted. This
time his verdict was increased to $ 11,-
769. The case will now probably go
to the supreme court and will be herd
from in about two years.
A Man Instantly Killed.
Pittsburg, Tex., Sept 12,—W. G.
Felton, who was known at Pittsburg,
was instantly killed this morning by
the bursting of an emeiy wheel. He was
engaged in grinding a saw at his mill,
about 12 miles south of Pittsburg.
He was highly respected by all who
knew him.
Shotgun Prohibition Society.
Aulanta, Ga., Sept. 11.—The people
of Tallulah district, in which many
murders have been committed, have
in force a novel kind of prohibition.
They met together and organized
themselves into a huge prohibition
society, with the social boycott as the
remedy, instead ef legal prohibition.
Persons who show a disposition to
break the rule are given such em-phatic
notice to leave that they make
themselves scarce at once.
