AUSTIN TEXAS THURSDAY JUNE U 1883.
NO. 45.
Piiofessou Greener the colored
orator of Washington told the colored
people of Danville Va. on Decoration
Day that they must cease being the
sport of politicians and that they
could better afford to lose the ballot
than to lose the esteem and respect of
the religiSus industrious temperate
liberty - loving God-fearing class
which had made liberty and enfran-
chisement possible.
The New York World presents a
pertinent question. Eight years
ago a package of $47000 was
stolen from the federal treas
ury. The thieves were discover-
ed and one of them proved to be a
treasury clerk the other one Ottman
who had 831500 on deposit which was
attached. The clerk was tried and
nothing was done with him. Ottman
compromised with the government by
paying $12500. The balance went
the way of much that has been gotten
in a more circuitous way.
MOKRisoN.of Illinois says: "Those
who advocate incidental protection
gome protection or any qualified pro-
tection probably mean no more than
is meant by a tariff only for revenue
for a tariff laid for revenue only will
afford some advantage to our own
manufacturers.". Certainly those
who attempt to make anything out of
contrariety of opinion make a fuss
about a distinction without a dif
ference. They are those who -want to
drive the Democratic party into the
absurdity of apparently repudiating
its lixed principles. They are not the
real friends of Democracy.
Samuel Bayard Stafford of
Trenton X. J. rushed to the defense
of George Washington against the
charge that he was a defaulter to the
amount of $tVO0000 and exhibits a
lithographed copy of General Wash-
ington's accounts from June 1775. to
June 1783 from which it fully ap-
pears that on July 1 1783 there was
a bidance due General Washington of
83000 and he was allowed 104304
vorth of bonds at 40 per . cent. when
at the same time they did not fetch
$1. And so George Washington and
his little hatchet are themselves
again.
The Railway Register calls atten-
tion to the fa'it that for years the cost
of railway labor and supplies has in-
creased while the rates for frieght
transportation have steadily increased.
At the same time competing lines are
multiplying rapidly. It suggests that
the question of profits in future will
probably be answered by a reduction
in operating expenses through the
practice or rigid economy ana im-
provement in railway appliances.
This with the growth of traffic; will
old up. the net earnings.
Last December the Xew York
Herald made a canvass of the Iieuio-
rii.tic members elect to congress the
results of which have just been made
known. That was six months ago
and changes in sentiment may have
been cffeHed during this long period.
The favorite then was Mr. Carlisle
of Kentucky who had three times as
many supporters as Mr. Randall up-
on whose heels followed Messrs.
Hewitt and Cox of Xew York and
then Mr Hancock of this state. The
tone of the letters written soon after
the November tidal wave was. exu-
berant. Most of the congressmen.
wrote as if they believed Democratic
principles had come to stay.
Tue Pennsylvania House proposes
to fix the compensation of members
at $1500 for each regular session and
$10 per day for each special session
with an allowance of 100 for station-
ery and mileage at the rate of 20 cents
per mile.
The Xew York Sun talks by the
book when it says: There is no war
in fact or in feeliug between the two
sections j and I ho common interest of
south aud north just now is to turn
a corrupt party out of power and set
up an honest and economical govern-
ment at Washington."
Whixe some of the old-timers are
trying to revive he ticket of 1876
Tilden and Hendricks some of the
Republicans are after their ticket of
I860 Lincoln and Hamlin. If the
latter be the choice for Republicans
It might do to nominate a Democratic
fossil. '
The first coronation of a Russian
monarch;took place in H14 when the
Grand Duke Vladimir; at Kieft re
ceived from the Byzantine emperor
in Constantinople a crown a cross
made of what was supposed to have
been the cross on Calvary and other
golden trinkets'such. as emperors like
Vladimir was crowned by a priest.
Fred Douglass was the prime
mover in the call for a convention of
colored people. The Statesman ven
tured to say; as" soen as the caU was
made that the administration was
backing the movement and now Fred
finds reason to explain that he "did
not receive suggestions from Mr. Ar

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
France it is said 'has at last awoke
to a real sense of sfes loneliness as a
"European power. '.fSbe now sees her
self deserted by Iher old time allies
and the Iron. Gfcarmallor that once
rent her in twain and who forced her
the republic to become a tribu-
tary power to -rank imperialism
again looms up in all his
might and the day of retribution for
Frenchmen is turth er than ever from
accomplishment. Certainly the Re-
public trembles and for the best of
reasons. Much has been stud of the
triple alliance. It is a work upon
whir hDismarck has "been laboring for
years. At the bej ginning of 1881
the relations betwee n Russia and. Ger-
many were precari ous. Slsobeloff's
Pan-Slavic crusade led the Teutons
to expect a tremens dous onsaught of
Russians and ia case of "war there
was little doubt but t France -would as.

his predilectians ; and Gambetta
preached the paliier v in Fifance. Bis

and the latter was ready to obey the
behests of the- strait chancellor. It

found when he got into the state

to Garfield and the quarrel . was Ga r-
field's fault; that a certain agree-
ment made at the Fifth Avenue l o-
tel between Garfield nnd the X ew
York Republicans in connection jvith
this subject would if ever publif ihed
create a sensation. Garfield - was
brainy but weak. He was morally

and Miss Annie Griflin came very near
drowning and but for the timely as-

she would not have escaped a watery

Palestine June 7. For several
days rumors have been afloat about
expected changes in the management
of the Gould lines in Texas. It is

take charge ot the Wabash and Pacific
and will be succeeded by Dudley now
superintendant of the Texas and Pa-
cific with headquarters of both roads

circular which it is alleged in some
quarters as having eminated from
the house ot Kaurfman & Kunge this
city has been the subject of much
comment in commercial circles in the
city. Your correspondent called
upon Messrs. K. & R. this evening to
see if they had anything further to say
in regard to the matter besides what
has already been made public and
was handed the following letter to
Mr. Openheimer. president of the
Dallas Chamber of Commerce: ' Dear
Sir: The Galveston Xews of to-
day prints a copy of your so-c;dled
circular to Gustave Ebe Chemnitz.
We repeat what we said yesterday
on the subject and merely add
to-day that we never
exchanged a single line of correspon-
dence with the party named. In
what way he may have got possessed
of extracts of our private letters
written by us extracts partly correct
partly distorted we do not know.
Whilst we consider ourselves entitled
to our individual opinions based up
on our individual experience we dis-
claim for ourselves as well as any of
our correspondents such a "breach of
etiquette as the publication of such
a circular would certainly involve.
We propose to let the matter rest.
Yours very truly
Kauffman & Runge.
Beyond what is contained in the
above letter they had nothing further
to say.
The ste mship AVhitney will ar-

Whitney will not stop here but
will go direct to the quarantine
station at Xew Orleans.

and then jumped on the body and
plunged the knife into his throat

cursiner and screeching in a horrible
mauner. The third lunatic was in.
