As marrying is epidemic in the city
at the presect time the following ad-
vice to "better halves" may not be
amiss: A young housewife should use
her broom lor no other purpose than to
sweep VuF; don't use" It to knock
your husband's head off every time
you get mad as it teaches the broom
bad habits and it will grow so accus-
tomed to the sport that every time a
man happens to enter the house it will
jump op and knock bini into the mid
die of next week.
A correspondent kindly informs
t the statesman that "all the help the
peple is got is.goin' to leave them."
V We sincerely hope the "help" will con-
I aider well before they violently tear
themselves away and brine; distress
I and woe upon the land. What in the
I mischief are we to do if there be a he-
gira of all the help? The barecon-
f temptation of such a calamity causes
f us much distress for the single men
1 will necessarily be compelled to marry
to get someone to help take care of
and support them.
A tocrist who is doing the State
'gives his impressions of the three lead-
ling cities aa follows:. "Ia Austin
f they don't appreciate anything they un-
derstand ; in Houston they don't un-
derstand anything tbey appreciate; in
AJalveston they neither understand nor
appreciate." We infer from the above
that in Austin the indefatigable tourist
r was understood in Houston appreciat-
V ed at a distance and in Galveston si-
1 vere'y let alone became of the utter
impossibility of understanding or ap-
vtvaniatinn hia riAfitilinv n o vrr a
Nothing so delights the very small
boy of this city aa to be sole owner of
a very large gun and when he once
has it fairly in possession his chief and
only object seems to be to enter the
lists aa a free and easy candidate for a
lass inquest. Should he fail in
this it UW airly probable from tho
reckless manner in which he handles
his firearms that some other person
will speedily and without warning be
prepared for the duty of the coroner
and it is a matter of wonder and con-
gratulation that he is not often called
unon to perform his duties. It's true
an especial Providence seems to watch
over the very small boy with his very
large gun but nevertheless the pe-
destrians on the thoroughfares will
feel much more comfortable if he can
be persuaded to lay aside his large
gun and appear if it is necessary
that he be armed at all in public
with his mother's broom stick which
is decidedly more appropriate for one
of his age. Perhaps it will be much
better for him to appear without any-
thing of a war-like character and aa a
civilized boy ought to.

before the mayor on a charge of dis-
charging firearms. This is only one
of numerous instances of serious acci-
dents occuring in the handling and
carelessly if not criminally discharg-
ing of fire arms. Scarcely a day passes
without furninhirjtj an example of the
consequences of this reckless use of fire
arms. When will people cease tur.h
foolish habits with deadly weapons.
The Gia Again.
About 10 o'clock Tuesday night there
was enacted another one of those terrib e
tragedies with which Austin is not uo
familiar. Tlie report of a pistol was
heard in the vicinity of Milieu's Op-
era House and for a few minutes it
seemed an uuimportant matter as no
commotion con d be seen in any direc-
tion. Presently however a person
was seen coming leisurely towards the
Avenue from the Opera House and he
wai recogn zid as J hn S:okes a col
ored employee m unariey uortissoz st
saloon and upon being questioned he
said : " I shot a fellow back there." A
policeman rnslied on the scene pres-
ently inquiring what had leen done
and who did it and in reply Stokes
t M him he bad Bhot a man and wanted
to give himself up. llo still had the
pistol in bis hand and be retained it
carrying it in bis hand as he went with
the policeman. Tne crowd proceeded
cautiously to tho Opera House
and there with his feet in the
middle of the pavement and his head
against and at the end of the dor
step lay the victim. He was gasping
for breath and groaning and continued
thus for some time. A light was pro-
cured and the colored people near in
stantly recoenized the murdered man
as Wesley Alexander a colored man
who has figured so often in the crimi-
nal courts here as to become widely
known. It is said he had been con-
victed and imprisoned several times for
larceny and burglary and had on va
rious occasions escaped from the peni-
tentiary. The bullet entered his neck
juit at the right of the bronchial tube
and near the collar bone and lodged
under the skin near the shoulder
blade. No medical assistance was se
cured until nearly an hour after the
shooting and the physician upon his
arrival pronounced him dead. When
searched bis pockets produced an ivory
Dandled pistol a razir a pair of brass
knucks aLd other articles. From those
in the crowd who knew the praties it
was learned that Stokes' house had
been lately robbed and that he accused
Alexander of the burglary but nothing
was heard which showed this to be the
cause of the shooting. Tne inquest
will be held at 9 a h. to-day.
Scientists may Dlfl'er
About the pathology of rheumatism
its origin and whether it be hereditary
but irrefragable testimony provss that
when a tendency to it develops itself
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a reliable
means of subduing that tendency.
Some of the prescribed remedies for the
disease are decidedly objectionable
from the danger attending their use
others are utterly ineffectual the best
the safest check is the Bitters. This
very obstinate malady the more effect-
ually to overcome it should be grap-
pled with at the outset. Every one
knows what terrible what ceaseless
pain it can inflict. Why then should
this atrocious often fatal complaint be
allowed to gain headway through indif-
ference to its earliest symptoms when a
safe long tested and strongly recom-
mended medicine presents itself. In
addition to suggesting this a means of
relief it seems not inappropriate to cau-
tion the rheumatic against exposure.
Georgetown Letter.
Georgetown January l'J. .
Editors Democratic Statesman:
A line from this thriving town I
thought might not be devoid of in-
terest to your many readers and as
much can be said in its favor would
be gratifying to resident subscribers.
The moral aspect of Georgetown is
quite equal to that of any country
town I have ever known. Sunday
here and all Sundays are observed
as yesterday was is in truth and fact a
day of rest. Churches Methodist
Episcopalian and Southern Presbyte-
rian are well attended and the pulpits
are filled with able preachers and good
men. Mr. Campbell represents Meth-
odism; Dr. Rogers formerly of Aus-
tin is the rector of the Episcopal
Church while Rev. Mr. Gillespie is
the paBtor of the Southern Presbyte-
rian. Your correspondent had the
pleasure of hearing two excellent ser-
mons from the latter gentleman on
yesterday and learned from him as the
result of four years' labor in the min-
istry of this place that his congre-
gation had built a house of worship
which was now out of debt and
that the membership of the church
had increased within that time from
fifteen to sixty-five the latter number
being now the aggregate of church
membership but does not include those
to whom letters have been given or
those who have died.
On last Friday night there was a
most enjoy able concert given at Tay-
lor's ball for the benefit of the Episco-
pal church building fund. Below I
send you the programme : ' .
1 Sunrise chorus class; 2. L'Orgie

ter song Mr. J. L. Tindale; 8 La

ger; 9 The Little Ctdet song little

This concert was gotten np under the
direction of Prcf. Bristow formerly of
Tuscaloosa Alabama but now teacher
of music in the female college at this
place. Lie is an accomplished musi-
cian and a valuable acquisition to any
community. It would be invidious
where all did well to particularise so
I will not attempt it for the singing of
Mrs. Pierce Bristow and Jordoa and
the instrumental pieces of Miss WiU-
barger of Bastrop county were simply
charming and quite the equal of any-
thing ol an amateur character I have

.Tlias Cummins la Texas.
M ss Ella Cummins the lady who
witnessed the killing of B. C. Porter
the actor of the Ward Barrymore
troupe at Marshall Ttxaa4 affects to
b.l eve that her We would be jeopard-
ized were eb'e to go to Texas to appear
n a witness against Currie the mur-
dertr. Ia au inttrritw with the Pitta-
burg Di'xith she feigns to believe that
a guar 1 of 500 men could not prevent
Carrie's frieuds making way with her
aid n severe manner denounces
Tex is and the SUtc generally. Now
iliss Cummins knowa this to be the
veriest ni.nwiiifc. She made with ber
company a tour of a jointly portion of
that S; ate last apring and was receiv-
ed with the ructit polite and chivalrous
attention by ihelcxan. Not until
they met Currie a drunken vagabond
from i he North did tbey meet with
anything but kiudntsi. And when
the mnrder -f Porter occurn-d aa we
hupu-ju to know it waa denounced
from one end of t:ic Stale 10 the other
and city after ci:y from Dallas to Gal-
vtston Kave 'he company benefit per-
formances nnd contributed liberally
to a fund for the nupport of Porter's
mother aud sister. Indeed they vied
with etich other aj to which should
pr ftr the largf s; purse This tafk of
Miss Cummii-.h' 'n very different from
the speech she made nr. Houston thea-
ter tshnit y after th tragedy when
she was made the recipient of a m?g-
niticeut present r.s a testimonial to her
and aa a rebuke o the murderous act
and ill bece in . ber. Tex is has done
all that it pobiible ti brini; this red-
handed murderer from the. North to jus-
tice arnt relied Ujjon Miss Cummins
and Miiiricu B:rrytnorc the witnesses
of the act to testify for the prosecu-
tioD. They did not appear when the
case was called because they were
both playing under eujig'jniear. in the
Eist and not because Uiey feared their
lives would bo endaiji:r-;d by attend-
ing the trial. They regard their sal-
aries more pneiou than a desire to see
the murderer of their f ri-md punished
and all talk of fear is tb merest: both.
Her reflections upon the cira.'Jiis of
Texas are ungenerous and UDjust.
Currie is as we have said a Northern
man employed in Texas as us engi-
neer; and though the officials resisted
the tff rts of his attorneys to release
him on bail and he is still in custody
notwithstanding the fact that no one
appeared against h'nn when his trial
was called it ia not likely that he can
be convicted without the testimony of
Miss Cumraioa and Mr. Barrymore the
latter of whom was weunded by the
ruffian. And yet they refuse to testi-
fy; and when he is finally released we
may expect a howl to go up from the
Radical press against the courts of
Texas for complicity with crime and
the condonment or murder. Jitclfon

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Four if not five of the seven bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South have been in the ministry from
Not one of the West Indian members
of the Spanish Cortes voted for the
gradual abolition of slavery in Cuba.
The planters in that island iove the
plague and will stick to it.
Though Siberia is more than half as
large again as the United States some
of its districts are already over-popu
lated. The Rumlara Pratada says that
in the province of Tobnisk there is no
government land lett for the settlement
of the exiled criminals.
In many respects the organ in the
Stewart Cathedral at G irden City L.
L will be the most wonderful instru-
ment in the. world. In the fiist place
it will be located in four different parts
of the cathedral the organist will sit in
the chancel and play upon a key-board
which will have electric connection
with all four parts of the instrument.
Then there will be also an echo organ
in the roof which too will be played
from the channel ; the organist can also
ring in the chimu bells to suit. Five
hydraulic engines will run the organ
and the instrument will cost something
more than $40000.
Gen. Grant in a Ja'e speech made to
about seventy-five preachers of the
Northern Methodist Church said:
"There was no doubt about the loyalty
of the Methodist Church in the North
and there was no doubt of its disloyalty
in the South. What is true of the loy-
ally of the Methodist church in the
North must be said in regard to the
churches of the other denominations
with not perhaps the same unanimity
enough however to save them.'
POLITICAL NOTE.
The Democrats in the seventh Mis-
souri district had a regular walk over
in the election of Pnilips over the Re-
publicans and Grcenbackers. The two
latter attempted to combine but missed
connection.
Sixty-six Republican newspapers in
Pennsylvania have made returns to the
Philadelphia Time of their presidential
preferencts. They stand as follows:
For B'aine 20; Grant 22; Sherman 3;
the field 5; the best man 3 and for
tne VBTcago' nominee
McNeil whose name became infa-
mous during the war for the massacre
of Confederate soldiers at Hannibal
Mo. in so-called retaliation is the
prospective United States marshal.
There is something ominous says the
Examiner in the character of men com-
ing to the front.
It is reported that the Union League
Club of Philadelphia has been can-
vassed on the presidential question.
Egbty per cect. of the members were
opposed to Grant and declared their
preference for Bayard aa opposed to
him. Between Grant and Tdden they
had no choice but declared tbey would
rather net vote at all than vote for
either.
Politicians like other men must be
judged . by the company they keep.
Gen. Graft's friends have been attempt-
ing to apologize for the presence of no-
torious Treasury depredators at the
banquets given in his honor. .They
make the point that Grant would have
preferred their absence. Bat then
they were invited. Whyt Besides it
won't do for a man to go back upon his
old tne&ds.
Ton may blow your brains loose
about the woman yoa may hoot dowa

our oldeft NiW England ciues shvd
that 91 pr cent of the 5eadiD m-a of
the city were either Tarm ra' i'yi r
poar boys in the cities or vitlaM. " The
lift included all the bank presided;?
railroad roigoates and leading man a
facturers and merchants. Fr:y years
ago "the moneyed clas" of tbi par-
ticular c:ty wire boting com or tend-
iog lathes or peddhng tewjpapeis;
forty years ago these "bleated bond-
holders" were not a p ethonc race ; and
it is highly imroSah'e that any cm
siderable portion dl the nviey h cS
they now positij vrii! to in -J". taid
of their grana-chtl'ireu. Tii-j "mon-
eyed aristocracy of the nx. ?er.cri-
tion are growicg up no on tho farm
and in the factories. Watt i true i f
this one city is substantially tru of
every other city. The fortunes that
are continued in the same family for a
hundred years are very f.-w; wha" one
generation gathers another generation
scatters; the wealth of the land is con-
stantly changing bands; and the boy
who belongs tj what are called the
working classes has qaite as good a
chance of becoming a "bloattd bond-
holder" before he dies aa the boy who
is born with a siver spoon in his mouth.
With these facts in view is it not rather
wicked for demagogues to try to excite
the alarm of ths people who work with
their hands lest tbey should be enslav-
ed by this formidable and tyrannical
"moneyed claHi?' There is no such
"class." A consolidated and heredita-
ry aristocracy of wealth dots nut exist.
The great bulk of the wealth of this
country is now ia the hands of men who
were boru poor. Is it likely that they
will combine to oppress end enslave
those who are toiling up front the lxivel
on which tbey started? It it possible
that they should eo combine in any ef-
fectual way seeing that their future
control of the praperty which now they
call their own must lie so very slight?
And would it not be a foolish and sui-
cidal thing for the poor men of this
country to combine to overthrow a syt-
tem of government which promotes
such a rapid distribution of wealth and
which ffrs each abundant chances to
them and their children? When the
communists and the socialistic reform-
ers urge that all property rights must
be annulled and that some new indus-
tiial and proprietary scheme must be
inaugurated just call their attention to
the facts recited above aud ask them
whether under any other system the
children of the poor would have a bet-
ter chance than they have under the
present system. Good Company.
Itclsuina: Sovereigns.
The oldest reigning sovereign is Wil-
liam I. king of I'm as-i a and emperor of
Germany born in 1797 became king of
Prussia January 3 1801 and emperor of
Germany January 18 1871. No other
reigning monarch was born during
(within) the last century.
The sovereign whose reign has been
the longest is Dom Pedro who became
emperor of Brazil April 7 1831. The
next longest reign except in two small
German States is that of Vxtona who
has been queen of England since June
20. 1837.
Next in order comes Massr-ed-Dn
Shah of Persia since September 10
1848 and Francis Joseph I. emperor
of Austria (now Austro-Hungary) since
December 2 1848.
The youngest sovereign is Alfonso
XII born in 1857 and king of Spain
since December 30 1874. The last
king crowned is Humbert I. who be-
came king of Italy January 9 1878.
Eiward III of England was the
common ancestor of all the present sov-
ereigns of Europe except the sultan of
Turkey and the king of Sweden and
alto of the only emperor in the Western
Continent. It is noteworthy that Dom
Pedro of Brazil is more nearly related
to Edward III. than any other luier
being of the fifteenth generation while
Victoria of England is of the seven-
teenth as are also Alfonso XII. cf
Spain William L of Germany Chris-
tian IX. of Denmark and Hubert I. of
Italy. Lewis king of Portugal and
Francis Joseph L of Austro-Hungary
are of the sixteenth generation from
Edward HI. and Alexander II .of Rus-
sia AjeopoTa If. ofceigTum nnd weorge
L of Gre.ce are of the eighteenth.
The longest recorded in modern his-
tory is that of Louis XIV. of France
which was seventy-two years.
The longest English reign was that
of George HI. who ruled s.xty years.
The reigns of Henry III. and of E i ward
III. were each more than half a cen-
tury. Victoria of England and Kuanzu of
China rule oyer more than ont-half
the entire population of the globe.
Not only is the gracious queen of
England connected by ties of consan-
guinity with all but two of the sover-
eigns of Europe but also with several
who would like to be king? as Cham-
bord of France who bides bis time to
be called to the throne as Henry V.
and Ferdinand Pbilipe duke of Or-
leans who came to America and served
for a while on the staff of Gen. McClel-
len during the late war.
In all America there is but one
crowned head Djm Pedro ruler of the
largest country in South America and
all who witnessed the opening of the
Centennial Exhibition and the starting
of the machinery in the great Machinery
Hall saw him standing by the side of
the president of the great North Ameri-
can Republic and both waiting the
command of an American mechanic to
unthrottle the steam artenes of the
giant engine and set in motion the
mtzy acres of looms lathes spindles
drills saws and hundreds of tools and
machines illustrating the industrial in-
dustries of the world. There the un-

"Bod" Ingersoll is said to be exceed-
ingly effective before a jury and mary
stories are told of his triumphs as a
special pleader when he was a criminal
lawyer in Illinois. Oi one occasion
years ago he was engaged in that Scate
as counsel for a farmer who had quar-
reled with a neighbor and shot him
dead. The evidence was plain and di-
rect on that point though there was
nothing to show that the prisoner bad
not believed that he was acting in self-
defense. When Iigersoll was address-
ing the jury he drew a pathetic picture
o the prisoner's wife and children he
bad declined to allow them to be pres-
ent at the trial as a less sagacious ad-
vocate might have donewaiting in
eager expectation for bis return confi-
dent that he would be acquitted of a
crime which he would not and could
not have committed except to save his
own life so dear to his family bo neces
sary to their protection and support.
"I see the wife now" continued the
shrewd barrister "standing at the door
of her home the sunlight on her hair
straining her eyes after the figure of
the man dearer than all the world to
her. I see his little boys swinging on
the gate with smiles about their hps
gazing down the road watching for
their beloved innocent father and sure
that he is coming. They are all ready
the dear little fellows to jump down
run after him leap into his arms and
kiss away his sadness the shadow of
his unfortunate deed while tbey cry
Dear dear father we knew you would
comet And gentlemen of the jury
yoa who are yourselves husbands aod
fathers won't yoa let hit go hem:?"
The members of the jury were listening
with wet eyes and leaning toward the
eloquent advocate. The foreman a
big brawny simple-hearted farmer
the tears on his sunburned cheeks was
so carried away that thinking the ques-
tion addressed personally to him and
demanding aa answer exclaimed in a
choking voice: "Yes Bob we'll let
him go home." Ingersoll had nor half
completed his argument but be knew
that that was the supreme moment and
sat down. The prosecuting attorney
made a long speech ia reply bat it was
of course entirely vain. The jury
after being out fifteen minutes returned
a unanimous verdict for acquittal.

ment ia favor of the bill and against

prive tke greenbacks of their legal
tender quality stop the minting of sil-
ver dollars and as soon as practicable
convert all the silver bullion now on
hand into gold and with that gold
pay an "equivalent amount of green
backs. He tbottett. also that the
government should par off greenbacks
with the -surplus revenue instead of
buying bonds not yet due.

with an argument in favor of with-
drawing the legal tender quality of the
greenbacks.
The morning hour having expired
the bill went over without action. -
