The action of the partisan electoral
comtnUsion in refusing to go behind
the dccitiion of the fraudulent return-
ing boaid of Louisiana and the con-
sequent recognition of the Hayes and
Wheeler electors la the crowning in-
famy of a party whose supremacy is
estimated as paramount to the triumph
of principle. It is especially sug-
gestive to Governor Ifaycs whose
present attitude is strange! at
variance with his avowtd inten-
tions in the early season of the
presidential contest. He has repeat-
edly expressed a desire to ascertain the
truth to reach the bottom facts in
the matter ot the election in the
doubtful Southern States but lias
failed to offer any practical demon-
stration of the sincerity of his purpose.
Did he hope to reach an hon-
est conclusion through the instruments
wbosd adoption received his tacit ap-
proval ? Did he suppose that the
worn statements of such scoundrels as
Kellogg Packard Chandler and Cham-
berlain would find credence with any
one endowed with an essence of intel-
ligence or honor ? Indeed we may
ask does Governor Hayes himself
place confidence in the creatures who
have developed and sustained the wild
infamies of his party ? Realizing as
be must tho contumely in which hu-
manity will hold tho Morton-Chandler
vassals who arc determined to force
upon the country the acceptance of a
mighty wroug should he not wisely
compress the compass of his ambition
and heed the dictates of a better judg-
ment ? The proceedings of the electo-
ral commission thus far clearly
foreshadow tho scope ot their
future decisions. Tliey liavo de-
tftminetl to inaugurate Governor
Hayes and he is equally determined to
be inaugurated for already he is re
ceiving congratulations at the Execu
tive mansion in Columbus while pre-
liminary arrangements aro being ac-
complished for the inaugural bull. But
can he all jrJ to become a usurper? Can
he as a patriot and as a man afford to
Detray tho trust of the thousands of
honest citizens who composed his con-
stituency; to sacrifice tho esteem of
his people; to destroy the liberties of
his country and to court tho contempt
of the world for the suko of enjoying
an official probation the legitimate out
growth of which must be distress and
dishonor? Dues heestimate thecssentiul
qualities that should characterize the
incumbent of the position to which he
aspires ? The bestowal of tho highest
ofiico in the gift of tho pooplo do
mands the highest elements in the
character of the recipient. He who ia
tc"orciao executive control of the
nation; who is to stand out before the
world as its chief representative; who
is to wield tho power of veto over na
tional legislation; who is to be vested
with undisputed command of the army
and navy should be above the level
of partisan zeal ; above the reach of
personal venality ; above tho influence
or suspicion of corruption; above tho
scopo of moral cowardice. Do should
be a uidU of merit and of mind
and prove hia power and right to rule
by such a control of his own ambition
as will secure popular recognition of
independent and individual worth
Can a usurper meet such requirements?
Can a i resident offer any cl iitn to re
cognition whose installation is born
of fraud tho tenure of whoso office is
the lease of villainy? We do not wish
unwarrantably to impute foul motives
to Governor Hayes but the ready sane
tion he has awarded tho machinations
of Chandler and Morton and Sherman
and Bradley betray cither the existence
of obtusencss that an irub?cilo would
disown or a desire to obtain power
even over the prostrate form of justice
. Governor Hayes certainly is not a fool
it remains to bo seen whether he will
prove a knavo. i
AVIUM Y AMU 1'AI liUIS.TI.
In presenting the facts and figures
on this branch of the temperance
cause we aro surrounded by very great
difficulties. The statistics have not
been so gathered as to givo an accu
rate statement of tho condition of
things. There are however reliable
data from several of the States and
taking these as a basis for calculations
a truthful approximation may be made
Every reflecting mind will be con
vinced -that the whisky trallic is the
f - 'Tuost prolific source of pauperism
known to man. According to the
1 census report of 1870 there were din
I ing the year precedlug 116.10'. per
tons iu the various alms house) of the
country; that 70867 persons received
a support Juue 1 1870 costing $ 10030
29. The - Citizens' Association of
Pennsylvania chartered by thcJLcgis
lature "to report on the dependent and
criminal population of the State" in
their report to the Legislature dated
February 1. 1868. state that one in
every 24t) of the population is a pau
per; tht it costs $106.00 per year to
support him and that the cost to IV nn
sylvania footed up (2.C7 for each voter
The amount paid the deserving poor
was $190370 or thirty-two cents each
Toten There were in the poor-houses
of Pennsylvania 14989 pauper and
there were furnished to vagrants 105
3(6 night' lodging and two-third
of this pauperism ia attributed to whis
ky and three-fourths of the Tagrancy
fljws from the same source.
From this sstno source it is learned
that one-third of the insane deaf
mutes blind and feeble-minded are
attributed to intemperance; two-third
of tho friendless children and in
mates of the nouses of re luge
ll.Vi nf thpsa (ltnendn!a on
y th 8tate are tins from the
.- Siinii cause. The committee sum
up the whole matter thus: "We have
the aggregate cost of maintaining
paupers and criminals whose condi-
tion is due to inteir pcrance $2204244
pO year and the segregate cost of
maicUinipg iusane idiotic and other
dependent persons from the same
cause f 33608.60 a total cost of $2-
259910 61" and they ask this pcrtl-
rienion: ' If we have done so
uiu ivi imp nurift ui LJaupvrkaui
and crime what have we neglected to
f do for the arret! of these cviikf It
set Oil to u that if both sides ot this
... . :
question are fairly examined our
ins of omission will ri nn
gainst us with fearful condemnation."
To show that whisky is not over-estimated
in its pauper-producing power
attention is called to these facts: In
Maryland in one county there were
1134 paupers admitted in one year to
the alms-house 1059 of them intem
perate. In Pennsylvania in one coun-
ty 5043 from intemperance. In the
city of New York of 250 paupers 24S
were intemperate. In Washington
county (N.w York) poor-house of
2'JO were drunkards. Of
090 children received in the New York
City House of IU-fuge 401 were known
to be children of intemperate parents.
There are 1 10.102 paupers in the
United Stater three-fourths of whom
arc made so by whisky. These cost
oiling taxpayers $100:J0429 bringing
it aggregate cost through pauperism
alone to $3. 100.000. As there are
about 2000 counties in the United
States these figures place the average
cost at a little over $4098. Such figures
prove the baleful effects on society re
sulting from a traflic producing intoxi-
cation. The tendency is a widespread
poverty which must result without
prohibitory measures.
iriK.NTALlTIES.
A Washington letter-writer is confi
dent that negotiations are being pro-
posed betwean leading Republicans
and Southern Democrats looking to
support from the latter for the Re-
publican party in the event Hayes be-
comes president. The SUir mentions as
gentlemen who have been approached
upon the subject Mr. Hancock of
Texas and Mr. Gibson of Louisi
ana who it seems are represented
as proper persons to have a voice in
the counsels of a Republican presi-
dent. But these propositions are
based upon the plan that such men
use their influence in making the de-
cision of the commission final. Upon
such arrangement it is supposed the
South may have guarantees of liberal
appropriations for internal improve
ments and it is whispered that Tom
Scott is to play an important
part in this movement hia objective
point being votes for the Texas and
Pacific Railroad bill. But there is still
another phase to this wonderful com-
mission adjustment. It is hinted that
Hayes for certain Southern influences
will not recognize the carpet-bag rulers
of Louisiana and other Southern States ;
that he will make an alliance with re-
spectable party leaders of moderate
views in the S.mlh and that
he will even after such
countenance is extended select
some Southern ihcl dissatisfied with
party affiliation for places in his cabi-
net. The Louisiana and Mississippi
delegations arc also baited with "levee
appropriations" and those from Texas
and other States with patronage and
tho Texas and Pacific Railway dona-
tion. These aro the reported currents
now actively circulating at Washing-
ton and it is but poor consolation
that a uation having become the foot
ball of a corrupt party should after-
wards in part find alleviation
through patronage and party disinte-
gration arising from present abandon
ment of principle. But it is unreason-
able to place full credence in these re
ports. Actual negotiation of this kind
ia debasing and at most if there is
anything in it it is but an understand-
ing. Southern men could hardly be
found to trade away the rights
of a pcoplo on base promises no
matter what the result. And yet
rcpott says that the decision of
the partisan commission will meet
with no factious opposition ; that the
Southern representatives will accept
the situation out of which must come
a better order of affairs and new com-
binations and parties which it is as-
serted will destroy the old. Mills of
Texas has spoken like & prophet and
he has declared that a fearful judg
mcnt awaits the South ; but after all
though we would condemn the means
may we not hope that Phccnix-like
the South with Hayes as president
may rise from the ashes of her desola-
tion and that too through instrumen-
talities directed actively against her.
As to the relations of the use of
whisky to crime Mr. Fisk in an ar-
ticle published by the United States
Commissioner of Education in 1871 en-
tilled 'Tho Relations of Education to
Crime in New Eugland and the Facil-
ities for Education" stys : "The fourth
fact is that from eighty to ninety per
cent.-of our criminals councct their
course of rrimo with intemperance.
Of the 14315 inmates of the Massa-
chusett piison 13390 are reported to
have been intemperate or eighty-four
iter cent." "Of the Doer Island House
of Industry Boston; not included
iu the ' abovo figures there were
uiuety-thrce per cent whose con-
Guement was connected with the
use of liquor. In tho New Hampshire
tate prison sixty-five out of ninety-
one admit themselves to have been in-
temperate. Iu Connecticut in 1871
a report was made from the prisons on
this subject which declared that nine-
ty per ceiit. of the prisoners then in
confinement bad been of intemperate
habits. The warden of the Rhode
Island S'.ate prison estimates that
ninety per cent of his prisoners were
of intemperate habits.
In the Texas penitentiary the per
cent reported is larger even than this.
Out of about 2000 convicts last year
fully three-fourths of them were there
in consequence of intemperance and ita
results. The cost of placing
these criminals ia the penitentiary ia
not less than $1000000 or $500 each
and add to this the loss of labor at
home at $1 a day aggregating $150-
000 and we have a loss of $1450000
which must be made up by law-
abiding people. It is estimated
that ia Austin there are on
an average during the whole
year at least thirty-Cvo persons a day
confined ia jails. Most of these are
brought to prison walls by the use of
whisky while ttey coat the public at
seventy-firs cents a day Jailors' and
sheriff's fe. $14 831.25. These items
show the burdens imposed upon soci-
ety through intoxication producing
crime and give additional reasons why
locsl option should be carried ia
Travis county. .

SPKCIB PIVHEKTS
A bill has been drafted ia Congress
relative to the early resumption of
specie payments. Its provisions differ
in many respecis from the suggestions
of the President but it is thought it
will meet with bis approval. The bill
provides for the issue of the thirty
years four per cent stock already au-
thorized by the act of July 1970 and
by the redemption act of January
1875. The amount of greenbacks to
be funded into this stock is $100000-
000 limited to $10000000 in any one
mouth. A further sum of $30000000
in greenbacks is authorized to Le
withdrawn in exchange for subsidiary
silver and to this end the coin is to be
increased in the sgjrrcate of $30000-
000 including the $50000000 at prcs-
I ent authorized. The theory of the
provision is that silver change will
take the place of the small greenback
ones and twos below the denomina-
tion of $5. These are limited by the
act of 1869 to $35000 000 but the
amount now outstanding is believed to
be below 1:10000000. Xo commission
is allowed for the funding or exchange
of the greenbacks for bonds or silver
coin. Some assurances have been
given that the bill will meet with
favor from both sides of the House of
Representatives after the presiden
tial trouble shall have been settled.
The prediction was made a letter-
writer Ulls afew days ago in the pres-
ence of Mr. Hewitt Ti Id en's near
friend that "if he (Tilden) is our next
President both of the great parties
would soon fall to pieces and Mr.
Hewitt i.dmittcd that if Mr. Tilden is
ouv next President undoubtedly there
will be great changes in both parties.
If Governor Hayes succeeds Gen. Grant
t he reconstruction of parties will go on
but not in the same way. He w:Il at-
tempt to build up a moderate Republi-
can paity in the South. Tilden knows
that he has the South in his hands and
his object will be to strengthen his
party at the North by winning over
conservative Republicans. How far
he will succeed if ho has the
opportunity to try we shall see. In
the State of New York he won over
Republicans like Robinson Dorshei-
mer Godwin and Bigelow. He will
begin his administration by reorganiz-
ing in some way Adams Trumbull
Palmer and Julian. Hayes would be-
gin by appointing a few representative
Southern men to local offices even if
he had to take them from the Demo-
cratic party. At all events I have been
po informed by an intimate friend of
Governor Hayes that he would not
continue Grant's blunders at the South
and especially his greatest blunder of
filling offices with Northern men. So
let the commission decide as it will
we shall have reform in some respects
whoever is our next president and I
do not believe the country will see
such a cabinet again in a dozen years;."
To all this Mr. Hewitt silently as
sentcd.
CO. MtlTUTlONAL.
Section twenty of the State Consti
tution reads:
Skc. 20. The Legislature shall at its
first session enact a law whereby the
qualified voters of any county jus
tice's precinct town or city by a ma
jority vote from time to time may de
termine whether the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors shall be prohibited within
the prescribed limits.
This does away with the proposition
that the law iu regard to local option
is unconstitutional and it shows fur-
ther that though defeat may meet the
first effort at prohibition tho people
have the right again and again to ap-
peal to the ballot-box in attempts to
do away with the destroyer.
The committee of bankers to con-
sider tho debts of Southern States
have lately met in New York and
have under consideration the practi-
cability of refunding the debt of all
the States from Virginia to Texas
which are now in arrears. A liberal
policy on the part of the present bond-
holders will be recommended and the
committee have already entered into
correspondence with several States
with a fair prospect of being able to
effect an equitable adjustment. The
State debt of Virginia amounting to
$35000000 was considered particu-
larly but nn account of the various
interests involved it was found diffi-
cult to arrive at an expeditious plan of
settlement and the committee ad
journed without haying completed the
proposed adjustment.
It is said that the committees ap-
pointed to inquire into the wisdom and
feasibility of the turnpike have satis-
fied themselves that the narrow gauge
is the only resource of tho town and
country. It costs little if anything
more thnn the turnpike and will draw
to Austin every other narrow' and
broad gauge road from Houston and
Galveston and from Corpus Chriati
and the broad gauge from Indiauola
and Cucro. It will feed and enrich
them all with cattle and sh.eep and
hay and wheat and coal and iron end
grain from the northwestern counties
of Texas. L-.'t u have the road be-
gun under the invaluable charter be-
fore it expires.
Mr. Lamir now has little expecta-
tion that the tribunal will secure the
election of Mr. Tilden. Most of the
Southern members thus express them-
selves while Mr. Mills Gen. Gordon
and others who opposed the adjust-
ment' bill feel assured of Hayes be-
coming president and fear that calam-
ities for the South will follow. Mr.
Mills think) that the defeat or
Tilden will be followed by less
discipline in tho Democratic party
and that many Democrats will act in-
dependently of party affiliations. In
fact' a general feeling prevails among
the Southern Congressmen that nayes's
inauguration will be followed by a
very considerable disintegration of the
party especially in the Southern
States.
Fischback in a letter to a friend In
the North in explanation of his recent
action sayt: "Knowing that the pre-
sent pretended Packard government is
a monstrous iniquity and its success
would entail still further debauchery
and demoralization upon the race I re-
solved to destroy it if possible. I have
not abandoned the National Republi-
can party but if to denounce the
thieves in Louiutna who are fast de-
stroying the manhood and integrity of
mj pcop'.e renders me ineligible to
membership in it I shall have to seek
shelter elsewhere and continue my
struggle for justice and equality for the
race."
The New York Herald having sank
enough in the wilds of Central Africa
and lost its greatest fraud Stanley is
running a murk in Florida. It is
hardly probable That the Herald" expe-
dition will discover anything more
wonderful than Stearns the late so-
called and Madame Stowe. In view
of the Madame's allegations affecting
negro servitude in the South and its
terrible influences upon the people it
is strange that she dwells in their very
midst. Perhaps she comes hither to
find a proper place in which to shed
crocodile tears and learn lessons in as-
sertion from the great "allegr.tor"
Stearns.
The Governor of Georgia has issued
a reward for the apprehension of dis
tillers who made resistance to the
United States authorities. Some of the
parties implicated have already been
arrested and they complain very bit-
terly of bad treatment oa the part of
the government oflicialj. They say
they are arrested on trivial charges and
carried a long distance from their
homes among strangers where they are
unable to give bonds and to have wit-
nesses on their trial. Tried by negro
jurors and often convicted on testi
mony of informers who are interested
in their conviction they don't hesitate
to swear falsely to carry their purpose.
The bill of Mr. Cox to regulate im
migration meets with much opposi
tion. It is claimed that it is opposed
to the spirit of the United States
treaties with foreign powers and that
it violates the comity of nations by
preventing free ingress into the United
State3. The New York Times charac
terized the bill which proposes a tax
of two dollars a head on ever
immigrant arriving in the ports of the
United States as a measure to dis
courage foreign immigration and says:
"A3 a matter of principle a capitation
tax is indefensible; as a matter of ex
pediency it is unwise.
Col. Tom: Scott tells of the ten or
twelve millions he has spent in Texas
Texas furnished the basis of credit and
Scott borrowed the money on these
credits and built a railway. It was well
for Tex rs a good thing for Scott and es-
pecially will it be a good thing if the
future rulers of Texas be as weak as
they who suffered him to take the
State's wealth and build a system of
roads which are to be subordinated
wholly to the purpose of upholding
the St. Louis Bridge Company and the
Pennsylvania Central two of the cost
liest jobs ever executed on this or any
continent.
1 he Freestone Herald is free to say
that free whisky is an intolerable evil
and since it confesses itself evil by
paying special taxes and accepting
special burdens all borne at last by
whisky drinkers we do not see why
the Herald does not go farther and de
clare that the unmixed evil should be
destroyed ro'ot and branch. To attain
this perfect result may be impossible but
the nearer its consummation the better
for society and government the better
for barkeepers and God knows how in
finitely better fcr the women and
children of the country.
The Washington Union says that
Morton's speeches confirmed all that
has been said with regard to the con-
spiracy for counting in Haves. It is
clear that the intention was to have
the President of the Senate count the
votes for the disputed States for
Hayes and that he was then to be in
augurated at all hazards. It was
knowledge of this conspiracy through-
out the country that made the people
welcome the electoral bill so heartily
They looked upon it as not only de
featiag the conspirators but as a guar
antee or peace.
Under the constitution of Arkansas
adopted in 1874 the State can on'y
levy five mills for general purposes.
and five mills to pay the interest on the
public debt and one-fifth of this
amount goes to the public schools. The
same limitation is laid on municipal
corporations and extends to everything
except school districts which can by
a vote tax themselves as much as they
choose for school purposes. All capital
invested in manufacturing will be ex
empt front taxation until 1832. There
is a lesson in these facts for the futu.
constitution-menders of Texas. -
The Sherman Register says that com
missioners' courts and county judges
whose duty it is made to attend to th
hiring or working of petty offendei
punishable by .magistrates' courts have
no right to sit idly by and let them li
in jail at the expense of the county. If
they cannot be hired on good terms
they should be worked oa the publi
roads. Iu Grayson county arrange
ments are being made to work all such
offenders iu a chain gang on county
roads and we suggest that plan to
other counties.
Thomas Goes who has -eighteen
thousand barrels of whisky at Aurora
Indiana intended to ship it to Texas
as the best possible market; but the
discussion of prohibition and possi
bility of excluding whisky from Aus
tin a great sink for whisky in foitner
years has scarefl the good man a
Evansville. He says the law must not
be enacted and proposes that St. Louis
Louisville and Cincinnati organize
fund to be used in buying-votes and
newspapers to defeat the temperance
people.
There is little doubt that Packard
was the chief instigator in the shoot
ing scene ia New Orleans a few day
since. His fortunes were thuugbt to
be on the decline and it was neces-
sary to add some interest and proba-
bly sympathy to his side; so Wellon
who could have put an end to-Pact

and a farce enacted which could add
zeal to the efforts of bis friends at

It doa not eeent to be generally
known or if known has been forgot
ten that Congress last year invited
all cotmlies or towns where historical

brary at Washington ; only abont 150
such documents nave been thus far re

that The Jctgmext."
Hugh McEliiui uica uu me eighth

nativity. The deceased lived to an ad-
anced age and had accumulated a
large fortune. He was grandfather of
the famous Procter Knott and many of

homes in Texas.
The impression prevails at Colum-
ia South Carolina that ex-Governor
Chamberlain will leave the State. He
as dissolved his partnership ia law
with Melton & Wiogate offered his
residence for sale and made other
signs betokening an early exit from
the commonwealth which bs has done
S3 much to ruin.
Nicaragua has taken advantage of
the surveys and estimates made by the
United States and while the question
of building a ship canal was being dis-
cussed here Nicaragua makes a con
tract for the opening of the canal. The
Central Americans are becoming Yan-
kceized.
Congress last year invited all coua
ties or towns where historical addresses
wero delivered on the Centennial
Fourth of July to file on copy of such
address in the Congressional library at
Washington. Only 150 such documents
have been thus far received.
If1 the local option law exclude no
whisky and no evil from the State why
do two whisky venders in St. Louis
utter such protests against the policy
of the Statesman? Why do foreign
whisky distillers aid whisky's friends
in Texas to resist prohibition?
How. R. Q. Mills thinks the inau
guration of Hays will subject the South
to another reconstruction and - thus
be ruled if necessary out of the next
presidential election. Mr. Mills has
seen well and he may be right in his
prediction.
Marshall Jewell is said to have dis
covered the secret of making genuine
Russia leather while minister at St.
Petersburg. It lies -simply in the fact
that birch-bark tar is used to dress the
skins with instead of grease and tallow.
The Black Hill country has been
thoroughly organized under the govern-
ment of Dakota and all that remains

The Senate has already acted favorably.
New York housekeepers are making
a determined effort to secure a reduc-
tion of servants' wages. Cooks arc

Texas built 384 miles of railroad
last year. It was literally the work of
Texas. The State furnished the basis
of credit and Scott tind others bor-
rowed money on it.
Kentucky rejects its fine Bourbon
whiskies through local option and it
comes to Texas ahd and is diluted and
poisoned when it fills our jails with
murderers and our towns' and citic3
with shame.
Ix a previous article it was stated
that one county in Pennsylvania had
5048 paupers caused by intemperance.
It should have read out of fifty pau
pers forty-eight were from intemper-
ance. There are 2000 counties in the
United States and each county pays
for whisky in the item of pauperism
alone $4093.
Gen. Sherman didn't agree wTth his

One sentence in Evarts'a late speech
before the commission contains three
hundred and sixty-one words.
There are many good people who
steadily set their faces against distil
ling their coffee as something trench
and immoral and adhere to the old-
fashioned method of boiling. To these
a few words may be said since there
has been good coffee made by boiling
even though one usually comes down
to the morning cup feeling very much
like the possessor of a lottery ticket
which may draw a prize but probably
will bring only a blank. The hogsj
heads nf miserable coffee drank by the
American .people every morning is
frightful. . We certainly make .the
worst coffee in the world excepting
possibly the English.' Our hotel cof-
fee is poverbially bad. Yet there is no
secret mystery about making good coffee.-
The coffee raw should of course
be good. Plantation Ceylon is the be t
but half Java and half Moncha i-t
pieferred by most housekeepers the
first for strength tho last for flavor.
It may be remarked here that the bean
improves with age and it follows that
the roasting bad better be done at
home and as frequently as possible
since the various coffee-roasters make
this practicable. It should be first
washed and then roasted evenly to a
dark mahogany color. If roasted in
quantity a slight glazing of butter
will preserve the aroma. The old-
fashioned rule is a tablespoonful of the
ground ceffee for each person and on
for the pot. This is but a meagre pro-
vision; it is 'much better to have the
coffee sufficiently strong to allow a
half-cup of boiled milk to each cup.
The watetf should be boiling. If all the

The Messenger properly declares that

The court house at Seguin is a gray

: llirschberg docs not pay for his

The Goliad Guard says that fears are
entertained by our farmer j that grass
hoppers will destroy tbe coming crop.
We are told that the past week of
warm pleasant weather has caused the
hatching process to commence and tbe
ground in some portioas of tbe county
is literally covered with these little
pests. Should this be the case our
only hopo is in having a cold snap to
kill vegetation and leave them noth -

The German editor- of the Fayette
Coonty Record has very nearly played

wrings in English has invaded tbe

Goliad county swept away the bar
rooms last fcatur.1ay by J J5 to 211.
The Victoria Advocate says of the re-
sult that "the majority for prohibition
throughout the couuty is larger than
mauy persons expected. The light was
hot and heavy especially in the town
of Goliad where whisky has done so
much injury. Tho opponents of the
measure used money aud whisky freely.
The law-aud-order people throughout
the county were aroused and detr-
mined to make one effort toward re
deeming the bad character of our coun-
ty. Goliad feels once more like hold-
ing up her head. Six whisky shops
will be closed by this public decision
of the people. Thcso 'doggeries'
have bred riot theft bloodshed mur
der aud lawlessness."
People from Kansas and from the
Indian Territory and very many from
Paris and Bonham are here to be
treated for various diseases by Dr.
Wooten. Why not have a great hospi-
tal established in which poor and help-
less and' penniless -strangers may be
cared for at the cost of the city and
county I Such institutions must be
maintained. Tbe care of indigent aud
helpless sufferers falls very heavily on
the generous aud kindly and these
should be relieved and the burden fall
alike on tho just aud unjust. These
last as often as the philanthropic be-
come diseased and penniless und are
smitten with age and want and help
lessness. The private and public hos-
pital might be side by side aud the
cost of maintenance would be greatly
lessened.
No sooner had the blessed town of
Waco the town favored of Coke and
thus of Tom Scott who would again
capture Coke no sooner had Waco
voted down prohibition than a druukeu
negro Perro Davis shot and killed
police officer Alfred D. Neal. Neal
was attempting to arrest the negro.
After shooting Neal the colored
whisky keg endeavored to kill his wife
who was standing beside him with an
infant in her arms. But what signify
a few dozen murders aud bloody heads
and broken noses and poverty and
madness. Rum pays money to county
courts and mayors aud policemen and
the percentage on taxation if whisky
were exiled would not be great enough
to support a tax-collector. Let whisky
be king as now. No eune mayor
would have any other master. His
fees are all from whisky.
That good man Uncle Jim Hill of
whom George Bbcr tell? when enact-
ing the role of a phrenologist had the
barber we were talking about as his
subject. He placed the barber on a
chair felt of his head for a long time
and then remarked: "William you
is too sanguine. When you lend money
you expect it back iou are bilious.
You want to be honest but you hasu't
the necessary character; you isn't
hopefiil; you is bowed down with
grief most of de time; you has an ear
for music; you has de worst feet on
de Abenew; you is de right sort of a
man to wheel coal down hill for big
wages." William rose up pitched
Uncle Jim over the cook stove and
Ander the bed and split a panel of the
door as he went out. The row brought
in a policeman and the performers ap-
pear before his honor this morning.
The vision of the skower o( snakes
near Denison came of the effects of a
dream that visited Murray ot tbe yeicr.
Martin was sleeping with him and
Murray magnetized saw (in several
horns) the snakes falling from the
clouds and on his bed and writhing
about his limbs and body and in his
hair and each particular snake stood
on end and each was a sea serpent and
Murray iu a somnambulistic condition
wrote the sensational editorial about
snakes in the clouds aud on land and
sea that has amazed the whole country.
It was this vision of Murray that smote
the returning board at Washington
with mortal paralysis. All this came
of acute sympathy between the two
editors. The whisky wan Martin's;
the dream Murray's; tho snakes typi-
cal of tbe woes of Ttxa ou which
measureless and countless writhing
curses are showered from each storm-
cloud of whisky.
A letter-writer for the Herald says
that about one mile and i. half from
the main plaza of San Antonio in a
northeastern direction are situated the
San Pedro Springs the principal one
of which flows from under a large over-
banging rock forming (with many
other smaller spring-) quite a large
stream. The place u called San Pedro
rarlc and is the property of the city.
It is tastefully and artistically laid out
as a park and has many small artificial
lakes fish ponds rustic bridges and
gravel walks large spreading live oak
I D1 pecan trees with many ornamental
1 hrubs and vines forming a delightful
shade. There are also many fine ba
nana trees which bear abundantly.
From this spring several ditches bave
been made carrying the- water through
the city lor irrigating gardens and
other purposes. In fact tbe letter-
writer might bave added water in San
Antonio is such a drug in tbe market
that the people arc compelled to devote
themselves most assiduously to whisky.

Editor Democratic SUilttrruin The le-
gitimate trad and tha manufacturing
interest of Austin have a direct pecuni-
ary interest in tha suppression oi the
drink traffic. Saloons tre the active
rivals in business of every other trade
and are hostile to evsry useful occupa-
tion. They not only attract the money
that ought to go into the pockets of
our merchants grocers bttcbers and
of those men wboae work is a benefit
to the community but their certain ef-
fect is to debase and incapacitate their
customers from earning morr. By far
tbe greater quantity of whisky sold in
this city goes to the laboring men who
expend (or it tbe money that ongbt to
go to supply necessaries and coin forts
to their families and would do
this but for the irresistible temp-
tations of the saloons. The liq-
uor train o oppresses the interest of
the water works the gas company aad
the ice factori. Neither of these es-
tablishments receive half the palroaaga
the income of our manufactures will be
more than doubled by the increased
paaonage they will receive from the
abonng class who now squander their
wages in the saloons nud gambling
hells of our city and w ives und little
-nes be made happy with what to
them are now unknown luxuries. Our
hieweries will mt suffer by "local op-
tion." It is ouly a queinoa of time
hen they will close. The wealthy
brewers of St. Louis and Cincinnati
have determined to dis'rey them
and they will certainly do it.
The drink trallic tends to uuderuiino
the iudustrial habas of the people and
is injurious to the interest ot evtry bus-
iuess man aud lio.-tile to the welfare
V
the citv. county und Stat. The
I following tacts weio placed before tho
folid men of unn of tho States that
had repealed the prohibitory law:
"During one year of license thero was
a falling off iu tho valuation of tho
State as compared with the two pre-
vious years oi nearly $33000000
most of w hich was in personal proper-
ty. During two years of prohibition
the persoual properly of the State in-
creased niue und a half per cent. ; un-
der license it increased two uud two-
thirds per cent" la' the largest
city in the Slate "ihiriug the two
years of prohibition her increase was
seven per cent. ; under license only
one and ou;-ttird per cent." Thus
it is the liquor trallic goes ex-
actly aud always to the point of
diminishing the wealth of the people
to hush the hum of industry to light
the fires of discord ami hate to niako
the strong weak to create paupers
vagaboudH aud crnuiiialti. Such is the
miss.on of our saloon. and as Mr.
Sueed said at the Opera House: "It
makes uj difference whether it bo the
bar-room radiant with polished marble
and gilded mirrors or whether it be
tbe tough foul hole in Mexico they
uro all part of the same system and
contribute each its full share to de-
moralize and blot out of society every
good thing." Hard Bun k.
It is a curious fact that one firm in
London (W. II. Smith it Co.) have a
practical censorship of the press severe
enough to cripple any but the strong-
est journuls. They have the monopoly
of all the railway book stalls und late-
ly have excluded from them a certain
London journal' on accouut of its scur-
rilous personalities thus depriving it
of half its circulation.
