THE GALVES1X DULY NEWS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 18961 la frit thai the propteof Texas ouffht to YUi au thm court, or any olhvr court. Qonvlcted ttttllties and niceties requisite under our systom o( criminal procedure. The decisions of criminal appellate trlbuimt In the Curry in the Roihj- ehlld case ami in hundreds of other ty pH-sons imiiUtuueni. fully other of these two propositions, namely, that our crlm'nal law 1 vmirrly insufficient for the purpose of preventing and pun I shins: crime, or that the courts who ftavtv the opinions in thea cases uttf-rly Imbei-lle and Ignorant. I prefer to rest my case on the former of two propositions, although I must contt-ss HIM sm-- I n-mi lite mv-r day 01 the court reversed a case of murder in tho decwe.

wherein the defendant guilty, upon the urounJ that the district juvteo had fallfHl to charge the- law of acfOiuplU 1 testimony, my confidence in that prt-dk-ate is somewhat shaken. So It Is, however, that the contldcnca of I'VOjjly in the spwdy and just udmtnis- trat'on of tho criminal law IB every day iKflnK lessened, and lynch mw Is more and more popularity even among the Juw abiding classes. In my humble opinion this sad state of affairs is mainly attributable to two or causes in our state constitution and no-called bill of rights, which. Jf properly nmended, would no longer afford that shelter and mode of escape to the guilty criminal that they now hold out to nlm and to lawyer. Withoxit detaining you with arguments or citation of authorities, 1 simply suggest the moiUrtcations and amendments alluded to: 1 would amend section 10 of the bill of rights, flrst.

by adding after the words "He fehull not be compelled to give evidence ufralnst himself" the "But if ho falls to exercise his rights to testify on his town behalf such fact may be noted on tho record and may be Invoked as a clrcurn- ptance indicative of his cu.lt." Second, I would add to said section 10 the following words: "The word indictment, as herein -iised, does not refer to an indictment under the common law. but means a reason- fair and brief statement by the grand the nature of the accusation." Friilrd. I -would add after the words "con- jfroniecl with the witness against him" the ioUowingr "li there be living- and the jurisdiction of the court." fourth, to the Jlrst of section 14 of the bill of rights I would add the following: Jeopardy shall bo held to have ensued until after a verdict has been returned by tho jury Into open court." Fifth, 3 would add at the end of section 14 the words "unless said verdict shall have first "been set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction," thus giving the as well as tho defendant, the right of appeal ill all criminal cases. I believe these five amendments to tho bill of rights, together with a few provisions In uur criminal code, imparting little more common sense Into its requirements, mid a general clause requiring aud tho appellate court to affirm every case where, from the wholo record and upon the whole case it does not appear that Injustice has been done the appellant, would result In a large diminution of the complaints against our criminal law and Its administration. But, Mr.

President and gentlemen, I find myself again straying from the easy feld of denunciation, to which I have limited. Into the forbidden paths of advico and sjRKesiion, where pitfalls exist and where I be challenged and overcome by tsomV more powerful, learned and con- Eervattve adversary. And. us my time has about expired, 1 will content myself It'll a suggestion to oiir legislature, and close my remarks. Let tho legislature appo'int a commission oi! Texas lawyers to revise, in the true sense of tho word, our statute law and construct for the people of Texas a civil code.

Let the statutes be sufficiently broad and comprehensive to include every subject and furnish a- rule of action to the citizens of the state in every emergency and conjuncture of their social, business and political Hfel Let nothing- be left for in- let every contingency be provided for In plain, simple and proper language. Let tha new civil code.not be based on semi-barbaric traditions of the of England, nor yet upon the dilatory and cumbrous practice of England's of chancery, but let Its foundations- be laid upon the. broad principles of common sense and eternal justice. Zi6t Its provisions be so plain and simple that a schoolboy can.understand them, and that the most, ignorant of judges can ad-' minister the law under them, so that the humblest cUiBen can. exercise his cohstUU- it tonal right of conducting his own case ln-- ptead of being: forced to employ an attorney.

Let it so provide that the cost shall not he beyond the means of the laborer. Let the wheels of justice be marie to revolve more quickly so that rights may be protected, wrongs may be redressed, innocence may be vindicated and guilt may be punished with that expedition and certainty which 'a free and enlightened people require in the proper administration of their laws. "When the lawyers of Texas have aided Jn the accomplishment of this task, when the- work is completed, they may have deprived themselves to extent of their opportunity to acquire wealth, but remembering that'such wealth is generally taken from the unfortunate in their hour of they will cheerfully renounce those undue advantages which our present laws them and console themselves with the thought that they have earned the gratitude and sained the applause of unborn generations, F. W. BALL.

Another Orffanizhtioa. A number of the ex-students the university of Texas who are in attendance on the state bar association field an Informal meeting in the rooms of C. Granberry at the Beach hotel yesterday morning --the object of the meeting being to discuss plans looking to the establishment of an organization whose objects shall be the advancement of the social relations among the ex-students of the university of Texas a united action for the promotion of the Interests of that Institution. It is contemplated that it will meet annually at the same time and place with the state bar as- 'sociation. A circular letter will In a few days be', sent out and a general invitation to all to meet in 'Galveston some, time during the month of August for arranging a permanent organization.

Morse oJ Austin was re-elected secretary. Such a thins 1 as not re-electing him haa never even contemplated. As was said on floor of the convention, without Charley Morse there never would have been a Texas bar association. He has been godfather to the orpanl7ation and he has nourished with care. The members wanted to 'elect him by a rising vote but his prover- modesty asserted itself and he protested.

Colonel Morse plainly has a post- of life tenure. During the closing session Judge Prather ntnounced that Dr. Winston, the new of the state university, was existed in tin- city. the association extended Judge Prather a hearty invita lion to make Dr. Winston an honored Kuest of the jurists at the banquet to be held in the evening.

Houston, July Judge Winchester Kelso of Kagle Pass, Is In the city, having stopped dff a few hours while en route home from Gulveatou beach, where lie has been with his family for some weeks enjoying the surf and the breezes. It will also be remembered that few weeks ago Judge Kciso was tendered the r.nmf nation for congress in his district. The convention, however, had adopted a free sliver platform, and tho judge declined to accept a nomination on silver. Consequently the convention took- a recess until after the Chicago convention in order to await the national platform. The delegated will reconvene to-morrow.

"I made my canvass on sound money and Incidental protection," said the judge this morning, "and could not accept a fret: silver numinuUou." "Will your name be considered to-morrow?" "No, I have notified my friends that I not accept and my name will not so beiore the convention." Judge Kelso bears tho appearance of a- atudent, and lias not tho air or the usual manner of the poltUcian. He did not sceK the nomination to congress, nor in fet did he -seek the ofllcu of district judge, from which he resigned. He prefers' the life of a private citizen. Asked what he thought of Bryan and Sewall'a' chances he Tlrst 1 thought they had no -chance wl.niever, and I have had no opportunity to study the situation sineu. What influence tho populist nomination may have I am unable to say!" "Do you think' the sound money men will go to McKInley?" "In the" east and north I think many but "in the south they will support Bryait aud Sewall or stay at home altogether." "How about the situation In Texas?" "I believe a sound money state ticket will bo placed in the Held.

I know hundreds of populists who ore and have always been democrats, but who were dissatisfied with the financial policy of the party. They will all come back into the party. The populist additions to the party will amount to more than the sound money defection. In my judgment, the Culberson ticket will easily win." The judge and his family, left for homo this evening. POPULIST PROTEST.

Road Add rein the Middle tit DelcjfateH at St. LoniM. Houston, July answering a question Mr. E. P.

Alsbury, delegate to tho lata populist national convention, said: "I got back yesterday from St. Louis, where I was detained, preparing an address. We populfats.nave to-thank Tne News.for defending- the course pursued by the Texas delegates to the St. l-iouls convention. If the.

Atlanta Constitution occupied the same piano'of dignified journalism where stands The News, it would never have made the scurrilous attack it did the for there is, not a "word of. truth In the article juoted by The News. In order to illustrate the position us as well as the other mlddle-of-the-roadors at St. Louis, I will luote the entire address of the committee appointed to make Known to the populists of tho United States the late situation at It Is as follows; "We, the undersigned delegates from the several states of the union to the late national "convention of the people's party, which met In St. Louis on.

July '22, submit-the following statement for the consideration of the members of. our party; "We charge that the said convention was not populIsUc in the essential details and spirit of our principles, and was conducted in the interest and partly under tho direction of the national chairman of the democratic party, who was present in the city of Louis, conferring- with leaders of the party and advising delegates to the convention. "We charge that delegations of certain states were stocks witn democrats of a so-called silver party, and these were present and voting in the convention. "We charge-that hired emissaries were sent out among the delegates during recess and after adjournments, to influence them by questionable means to support the nominees of the democratic party for president and vice president, and this was done by and with the consent of the so-called party leaders of the people's party. "We charge that the nomination of W.

J. Bryan for president by our convention was procured by the misrepresentations of those assuming control to control It, and by suppressing communications from Mr. Bryan, declining to accept a nomination at the hands our convention. "In view of our convictions in the premises, and by tho unmistakable evidence that our party waa to be soid out to the democrats, and witnessing the utter disregard by those In control of the convention of th rights of delegates who objected to such proceedings, the entire Texas delegation and portions of many other state delegations continually protested during the sessions said convention against the irregularities complained of. We were solely Influenced -in our course of opposition and protests by a spirit of fealty to the principles of our party platform and opposition to a course which involved the In- dorsement of our democratic adversaries.

"We bpHevo a populist nominee for any Important legislative or executive office should stand squarely on populist platform. "We, therefore, opposed bitterly the nomination of Mr. Sewall for vice president, and alao objected to Indorsement of Mr Bryan for president, unless he should declare himself a populist and stand on the platform of our party. "ReRardless of our protests, and, despite his assurances that he would not accept, Mr. Bryan was flnally nominated by the convention.

"We, therefore, surest to our fellow populists of the United States that should Mr. Bryan not formally declare himself within thirty days from this date, his silence be taken as a declination, and that the Hon. S. F. Norton of Illinois, who received the votes of.the middle-of-the-road delegates, be considered and made the nominee of our party.
