The Galveston News seems to be
taking things rather cooly these days
.notwithstanding the Post claims that
it is burdened to the gunwale with
mortgages.
The strongest evidence of dsibelief
in the story that Tom Ochiltree is go-
ing to marry Miss Mackey is in the
fact that the Texas statesman started
the story himself.
Here is another newspaper man
willing to contribute to the welfare of
the country. He had a nation sight
better make the country contribute to
the welfare of the Brazoria Independ-
ent. It is more economical for a T"- ited
States senator to take his wife to
Washington and use her m his
secret ary than to engage the services
of some pretty lobbyists that ircquent
the capital.
The proposition to take the editors
of Texas to the City of Mexico on an

Poor Russell his punishment .was

he deserved it but he is no whit worse
than thousands of other office-holding
republicans. When he i3 turned out

It is not necessary to defend Sena-
tor Maxey from the charge of com-
plicity in the star route nastiness
Ills personal character is absolutely
unassailable. There is no man in pub-
lic life in this nation of purer or
more elevated morals or who is fur-
ther from a thing of that kind than
Sam Bell Maxey. He is of the salt of
the earth and his pure and simple
manhood is tne glory ot his state.
The Brenham Banner has a word
about the Typographical union. It is
fast going to the wall and its own was
the hand which struck the blow:
The Dallas Herald Fort Worth Ga-
zette Austin Statesman and Waco
Examiner are now non-union papers
and the Examiner remarks that
Houston Galveston and San Antonio
are the only union towns in the state.
The typographical union is no doubt
a good thing but it can become too
exacting.
They are talking about iunning
our old friend Charles DeMorse of the
Clarksville Standard for congress in
Culberson's district. No better man
ever lived in the district but can he
f et down to the tricks necessary to
success t. If an angel came hot from
heaven with such an ambition he'd
have to "work" the primaries
to get there and vb dont believe De
Morse would do that.
The following from the Corpus
Christ! Critic indicates that paper's
sympathy with The Statesman In its
struggle with the union printers:
The Austin Statesman has de-
clared its independence of the print-
ter's union and provides itself with a
full force of non-unionists. Organi-
zed strength in its desire to control is
apt to overlook the rights of others
and thus the injustice and aver-
ice their days become numbered.

Blaine has certainly entered into
an alliance with Logan. It is said
Blaine is using Logan as the most
available means to divide the old
Grant faction and to weaken Presi-
dent Arthur. It would appear that
with Blaine and Dorsey both work-
ing in the interests of Logan he would
by no means be a weak candidate be-
fore the Chicago convention. It is
thought however that Blaine knows
Logan has no chance of getting
the nomination and is shrewdly ea
gineering this alliance to keep certain
It'legations well in hand so as to use

ditional votes to secure his own nomi-

ODD FELLOWS' TEMPLE.
Austin should neglect no legitimate
opportunity to fasten here in her
midst all such enterprises as the one
described in our caption line. The
Independent Order of Odd Fellows is
not only one of the most powerful of
earthly societies but it is one of the
most active useful charitable in
telligent and necessary combinations
of men known to the age in which
we liye. Its principles closely resem
ble those of masonry glorious in all
the ages which stretch between Solo
mon s day and the busy active present
In Texas the order is very strong. Its
destinies are controlled by men of ex
alted character great usefulness and
of the very higest social distinction
It would be an honor of no ordinary
character to any city where they con
clude to build the permanent roof-
tree of thi3 vast body of the elite of
the citizenship of Texas. It is a well
understood lact that a large majority
of the order is in favor of locating
their temple in the beautiful city of
Austin. All that is needed is for us
to contribute a respectable sum to
ward its erection as other places have
offered. It is the deliberate opinion of
many illustrious members of the or
der and some too in high authority
and high esteem among them that ten
or fifteen thousand dollars raised by
the citizens of Austin would insure
its location here. Let us see if it will
not pay to do that.
This 13 a vast empire. We have
two hundred and seventy-four square
miles of territory ; we have now two
millions of people. In twenty years
we will have seven and we have an
ultimate capacity for eighteen mill-
lions. When we have our new state
house completed a bond of eternal
union will have been consummated.
Aside from the great natural pride
all Texans native or naturalized fee
in its vast proportions beautiful to-
pography and incalculable richness
the fact that we have a state capitol
ranking first after the national capitol
at Washington will constitute an-
other indissoluble bond of union be-
tween the widely separated sections of
Texas. Necessarily there must be
gathered at this point in the future
very many buildings ef the character
of the proposed temple. The political
capital of a great state situated as
we are here can very easily be made
its social capital as well. There can
be gathered here .with greater pro-
priety than anywhere else in the
state all the headquarters of the be-
nevolent literary and similar combi-

-p "! "tlon th'.3 will make
.lie arcuitectural pretension oi' th
inace its beauty and grandeur will be
very important and it will add won-
derlully to the real values of
Austin also. In the light of this rea
sonable reflection is it riot then the
very roundest policy for ua to at once
raLe the sum required and place the
affair beyond peradventure ?
Tho great consideration in this case
will be promptness. What we do let
it be done promptly and without un
necessary delay. Let us avail our-
selves of the known preference for
Austin which is felt by the leading
influences in the order. Let us meet
them in a spirit of liberal candor
worthy alike of them and of us.
Austia is destined to become the resi
dence city of the state. Its beautiful
topography its hill and dale beautifid
natural forests its healthful climate
it3 abundant supply of the purQjtablisnment of honest and capable self
water are one and all of them advan
tages which the nobleeraer of which
we are wrtSiflg will want to avail
in fixing its base of operations.
Fixed at this point and we add mate
rially to the better and more intelli
gent population of the city and there-
by increase the social distinction of
the capital city. We beg our people
to .turn th( aa considerations over in
their roin 's to the end that some effi
cient acii ju may be the speedy result.
We dally wilh ur gravest interests
every moment we delay its considera-
tion. THE SITUATION.
In Texas a condition prevails in
political affairs found in no other
state with democratic proclivities.
Here the majority is so overwhelming
lv democratic that a nomination is al
ways equivalent to election. How
ever we have many and fierce ante-
convention struggles which are
natural and to be expected. This
condition necessitates great caution
and a circumspect attention to the
amenities of public and especially
political life. We want no fierce in-
curable feuds in the party which may
at some inopportune moment give the
enemy the chancefor which he so
ardently sighs. We may profit by the
experience of republican Kansas and
republican Colorado last year. Kansas
was as pronouncedly republican as
Texas is democratic and yet her fueds
over prohibition ana administration
endorsement lost the governorship to
the dominant party. Here we have
no such hostility but we have some
overgrown and inordinate personal
ambitions with followings which
promise results quite as serious as
though the differences were predicated
upon diverse views . on public
policy. Indeed they are even more
virulent and bitter because of the
personal Interest represented.
Greater care therefore is required to
prevent those fatal differences by
which this state will be handed over
to the republicans if ever it is.
As a precautionary measure we give
it as our opionion. that the ring fea-
ture of Texas politics must be de-
stroyed. We have a powerful combi-
nation at the head of affairs which in
in caucus parcels out the good things
of politics upon a selfish basis and
without that due attention and ju
dicial fairness and impartiality so
necessary to the perpetuity of
democratic theories in Texas. This
expression must be taken more as a
well-meant warning than as a com-
plaint. The Statesman is
absolutely 'without personal political
ambition. It seeks only to
serve the .best interests of the
party and the country therefore it as
sumes to speak plainly on this and
every other subject affecting the one
or the other. The next campaign for
both county and state officers is al
ready crystalizing and we must say
in all candor and with vast regret that
we detect the game old fault which
has produced bo much misery in the
past. Men with claims as good as
those of the incumbents themselves
must have those claims considered in
common with others. Party honors
must be distributed to party worth
and devotion where the public inter-
ests are served with equal fidelity and
ability. This is the only fair rule
and if it is broadly adopted iu Texas
ths democracy i3 safe for a long and
sure ascendincy in the councils of the
state otherwise we do not hesitate to
say that dangers of which the ring
combination dream not are impend
ing.
REPUBLICAN CHIMES.
Ex-Attorney General Wayne Mac-
Veagh throws a bomb into the Eepub-
lican camp in the shape of an arraign-
ment of the party for its crimes. In
reference to the Pennsyvania Bepub-
licans he says: "They have allowed
their state and munlcipial treasuries
to be the plaything of machine poli-
ticians and to be prostituted time out
of mind to their personal advantage.
They have allowed their metropolis
to be the prey of men who in them
selves or in their chosen subordinates
have exhausted almost the entire
calender of crime while they masquer
aded in the name of the Republican
party and protested that their crimes
were necessary to its preservation
They have stuffed ballet boxes. They
have forged election returns. They
have stolen the taxes. They have
stolen the water rates. They have
stolen the receipts of gas. They have
stolen moneys appropriated to the re
pair of the highways. They have
even descended to steal the moneys
aDDroDriated to the relief of the in
sane poor. And they have done all
this in the name of the party whose
first great historical achievement was
the election of Abraham Lincoln a
name which has become a synonym
wherever the English language is
spoken for plain down-right honesty."
What is thus said of Republicanism
in Pennsylvania might be repeated as
to its record in all portions of the
country. What Mr. McVeagh com
plains of is sadly true and while his
own state shows how great have been
such political crimes he might have
instanced a more glaring fraud affect
ing directly the people of every state
in the union that federal robbery
out of which he accepted a share of
plunder. No man knew better than
did he the fraudulent claim of Mr.
Hayes to the presideucy and yet he
accepted a place in his cabinet and
enjoyed the fruits of fraud. He went
to New Orleans a3 one of the visiting
commissioners to get the Packard
government out of the way so that
false returns might be made. This
was the purpose of the visit.
and while there he had presented

were carried or pronounced carried.

see that Mr. MacVeagh can begin to
see the crimes of his party and t'

iu his own state liis declaration ought
to silence those of all Republicans in
their false accusation of southern peo-
ple. Suppose it is admitted that the
white people of the south have in cer-
tain instances.resorted to unfair means
for controlling elections it may be
asked are what the differences in mo-
tives leading thereto and to the crimes
fo Republicans? The southern
states had been given over by
federal power to the basest and
most ignorant political con-
trol; they determined to make a
grand effort to re-establish decency
and parity in government and where
improper political methods were neces-
sary to effect such ends they may have
resorted to them. They had been
attacked by the basest metb6dsan?

government and this they achieved
These very practices to which Mr.
MacVeagh refers in Pennsylvania
were practiced in the south for pur-
poses of plunder. But for the degrada-
tion of people and states; and the
good people of the south corrected the
evils.
The Tocsin of Dallas an open and
avowed communistic paper of of Dal
las warmly applauds the boycotting
of the Print by the typographical
union. This boycotting business is
one of the first fruits of communism
and that baleful principle can never
prevail in Texas nor yet in the south.
The Austin union is boycotting T he
Statesman and we are thriving
under it amazingly. Our business is
growing neaitntuiiy witn each pass
ing day and it is our deliberate opin
ion that if the Tocsin had been able to
induce some one to boycott it it would
not have been compelled to don itU
patent inside. Boycotting when it
comes to our fighting upon principle
is not bad medicine however it may
rattle the boycotters themselves.
As a specimen of the ultra refine
ment of the wit of the "leading pa
pers" the following following from
the Post will cover the case :
Isn't it just a little strange that Bob
Ingersoll should be going to Texas ?
It has alwaps oeen understood that he
doesn t believe in such places Chica-
go Times.
There is such a place Brother Sto
rey and Bob is going there sure as
h 11.
The best way to protect your polit
ical corns from The Statesman's
awkward stride is not to wear 'em
It is the peculiar mission of this paper
to find and step upon the sorest corns
upon the toes of the old hacks.
Tom Bowers' Eagle is truly a bird
of Jove on the frontier. Tom is one
of the most accomplished journalists
in the state and that he may grandly
succeed in his new venture The
Statesman will even pray etc.
It is reported that Marshal T.Polk
the defaulting state treasurer of
Tennessee has sold his Mexican silver
mines for $1000000. If so he will
be able to pay his debt to Tennessee
and may accept another office.
The meeting of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee at Waco on the
27th will be an important one. It is
expected that its action will be indica-
tive of the party policy for the com-
ing campaign.
The Waco Examiner asks "will
Randall succeed ?" From present ap-
pearances we sadly fear that if our
free-trade backbone in congress doesn't
soon commence to stiffen up a little
he will.
The country press will rejoice to
hear that they may differ in opinion
from the News and no offense will be
taken. It will prove a vast relief to
many an oyerburdened souL
The Statesman is obliged for the
kindly sympathy expressed for it by
the people of Austin in its late strug-
gle with the union.

A SUGGESTION.
Mayor Harrison Throws Ont a Hint
in a Letter to Sammy Tilden.
From the Chicago News.
A rumor was current yesterday that
Mayor Harrison had written to Sam-
uel J. Tilden declaring that there w as
a general .desire in the west for his
nomination by the democrats. Ac
cording to this story Mr. Harrison
not only delivered the entire west to
the sage of Gramercv but declared
that they cared nothins for Hen
dricks and wanted new material for
the tail of the Bourbon kite. Whether
the eagle assigned himself to this po
sition the story did not relate but the
belief became quite general that Car
ter naa acknowledged to iir. iiiaen
that he would not mind being hitched
to tne democratic Dana wagon along
witn mm.
When Mr. Harrison was asked about
the letter he at once acknowledged
that he had written to the noted New
Yorker About two weeks ago said
his honor " a gentleman whose name
l will not mention requested me to
give him a letter of introduction to
Mr. Tilden. He was going east to at
tend tne meeting or the national com
mittee. He was a strong friend of
Mr. Tilden and wanted to call upon
him. I told him I did not know Mr.
Tilden but he insisted that Tilden
knew of me and that that would do as
welL I wrote the letter and added in
a pleasant way that Chicago and the
west were in favor of the old ticket
1 further said that to the democrats of
Chicago the old ticket meant Samuel
J. Tilden. and that if the head would
bark they cared nothing about the
tail. That is all there was to it.
said nothing about myself and the
gentleman who took the letter was
not empowered to represent me in any
way."
Our Mythical Navy
From the Courier-Journal :
Senator Beck is right on the navy
question. The country is tired ot see
ing millions of taxes wrung from the
people squandered on a mythical navy.
We are robbed in the first place by an
outrageous tariff. The reyenue thus
obtained is appropriated for the con-
struction of a navy. The money is di-
vided between J ohn Roach the "con-
tractor" and the highly-protected man-
ufacturer of ship materials and never
a shadow of a navy is there to show
for it. It is the same old story and
it is about time that we had reached
the"iinis."
Crittenden-Patti.
From the Baltimore Herald.
Governor Crittenden ot Missouri
who is known to fame as the friend
and patron of all the western despera-
does has lately received distinction in
another direction by publicly kissing
Adelina Patti. This is a genuine re-
form. There may be a great many
people who will question the propriety
of publicly Kissing a prima donna but
it is safe to say that the objections
will come from those who never hope
to h.vpi fie opportunity.
The Souls of the People.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
There is a society in Paterson N. J.
according to a Mrs. O'Brien LuttrelL
which possesses the power to remove
souls from persons and return them
at will. Mrs. Luttrell has made ap-
plication for the recovery of her own
soul which she asserts has been forcU
bljwdetained. This is terrible if true;
but great corporations need have no
fear.
Can't Stand It.
From The Nashville World.
H. B. Payne the new senator says
that he will not be a candidate at Chi-
cago; and his son says that his father
will go to Europe to stay until after
the convention. He is too- feeble to
stand the presidential racket.

KEIFER AM) BOYNTON.
The Investigating Committee
Be-
same Their Inquiries.
Washington. D. C March 1. The
Keifer-Boynton committee rusumed
its session to-day. Gen. Boynton in-
troduced W. M. Ramsey attorney of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
who he said would with the permis
sion of the committee act as his coun-
sel during the remainder of the inves-
tigation. He said the Commercial
Gazette desired that he should be rep-
resented by their attorney and that
owing to his deafness it might be a
relief to the committee that he should
be represented by counsel.
J. W. .blder the hrst witness testi
fied that about March 1st 1883 he in
company with Charles Garheld met
Gen. Boynton in the hall of the capi-
tol and spoke concerning a small bill
saying mat ne (witness) would hko
tor the speaker to recognize some one
bill. Gen. Bovnton told him he had a
bill himself the McGarrahan which
he could not .secuse recognition for.
and he could not expect to secure rec-
agnition for smaller bills; and added
that the speaker would
leave the chair without money
or friends. Witness on being asked
what General Boynton had said about
seeing Speaker Keifer about the Mc-
Garrahan bill said he did not remem-
ber that he said anything. On cross-
examination by Ramsey witness
said he had attempted to secure Boyn-
ton's intervention in behalf of the
bill.
Ramsey then asked if he was the
defendant in certain divorce cases in
the courts of the district.
Coleman objected and Ramsey
stated that he desired to show the
character of the witness. Such testi-
mony could not be credited. He said
he wanted to show bv the affidavit of
the witness himself that he was a fre
quenter of disreputable places. Cole
man opposed the admission of the
statement in the records and his pro
test was allowed to be re-
corded. Witness said he had been
employed on a eertain occasion to se-
cure testimnv for persons before in
vestigation commissions. He said he
had gone to Ohio to see Charles Gar-
field and had snoken to him about
coming to this city to testify in behalf
of Keifer. His expenses on this occa-
sion had been paid by Coleman Keif-
er's counsel. He had received further
consideration for services. His prin
ciple interest in seeing Garfild was to
consult with him in regard to a pri
vate matter and the. -Keifer matter
was second.
Ramsev desired to submit in evi
dence a portion of the testimony In
the Kellogg-Spofford case. The case
in which Elder had acknowledged he
wrote the statements but was ruled
out. Witness said he had no reason
to believe that Boynton was aiding in
the passage of bills. Boynton had
said nothing to convey the impression
that he had made a corrupt proposi
tion to the speaker.
The prosecution here closed their
case.
Dunnell. a member of the forty-
seventh congress was the first witness
for the defense. He said McGarrahan
durinsr the last few days of the session
asked him to make a motion to take
up his bill. This he finally agreed to
do and Keifer promised to recognize
him (witness) for that purpose.
Keifer however did not and after-
wards explained that he thought it
useless to call the bill up as it could
scarcely pass at that late date
He had never spoken to Boynton in
tact was unacquainted with him.
Bovnton was placed upon the stand
He said he have been a correspondent
about eighteen years and had had no
other employment whatever during
that period. He said his farst knowl
edge of the McGarrahan claim was
directed from reading report of claims
and he had at the time written a letter
to his paper reporting the claim. This
was long before he met McGarrahan.
McGarrahan came to him during the
last session and said: "I wish since
you are a friend of the speaker's you
would ask him to recognize some one
to introduce my bill. He (witness)
said Keifer came into his office
to report as to his request. He
said Keifer was in the habit
of coining to his office frequently but
after MeGarrahan's request witness
did not see him for two or three days
so wrote the note as previously spoken
of in the testimony and sent it to the
speaker. In relation to his visit to
Keifer he said he went to the speak-
er's room to speak to him about a mat
ter which had been pending betwee
him (witness) and Keifer from the
December previous. He then refer
red to his note relating to McGarra
han's tlr.im saying he had taken the
liberty to speak to him on the suo-
ject but he had no interest in the mat-
ter except that he had promised Mc
Garrahan to do so Keiter replied
" Oh that is all right
have already promised to re
organize some one in that matter
Witness said the matter he called on
Keifer to speak about related to the
appointment of another in the place
of Mr. Reid as government agent at
Vvallawalla. His further conversa-
tion related entirely to this matter.
and MeGarrahan's claim was not again
referred to. When he left he took his
departure in the usual way. He did

(Laughter.) He said he had always
been on good terms with Jveiter until
the trouble arose concerning the open
ing of the press gallery. He said Me
Garrahan's claim had no connection
with the rupture between himsel
and Keifer. Gen. Boynton testified
further that on the night of the day
on which Keifer says he approached
him corruptly Keifer was in his
(Boyton's) office and had a long and
friendly talk concerning the tariff
bill. He would call five other wit
nesses to corroborate his statement
Witness continued: "In my office
that night Keifer called my attention
to the fact that he might be obliged
to so rule it certain points were
made as to defeat the tariff bill. That
is the thing that fixed my atten-
tion to the occasion." Witness testi
fied that he never had a conversation
with .Elder in the corridor; never
knew Elder had a bill of any kind
never said a word to him about Me
Garrahan's bill.
Question by Ramsey: "Did you
ever say anything to Charles Garfield
about Mcuarrahan's dhiy"
Boynton: "No sir. I could make
a statement in reference to various
other details that are given in that
testimony of Keifer's. In regard to
the recent interview for instance. He
says 1 brought the McGarrahan bill
to him. I never brought the billto
him never had a McGarrahan bill in
my possession until after this arose
and it became public in the papers
and I have never read it. f never
took that bill to him any time that
or any other day so tar as I know
in answer to the chairman lioynton
said he never met Elder and Garfield
in the lobbp and that the conyersa
tion described by them never took
place.
ine cross-examination was con
ducted by Mr. Coleman with whom
Keifer was in whispered consultation
during its progress. It was long
sharp and searching Much of the
direct testimony was repeated with
some elaboration but was not shaken
in any respect.

Boyton s associates m the Commercial-

INTERESTING HISTORICAL DATA.
DISCOTEKY OF THE FIRST
AMERICAN CHILD BORN
IN TEXAS.
Interview with the First Cumber
land Presbyterian Preacher Or-
dained In Texas Hen. John
H. Reagan's Headright
Established in 1844.
Special Correspondence of The Statesman.
Kemp City Texas March 1 1884.
The illness of your state cor
respondent for two weeks past has de
layed the publication of the matter
pertaining to Jvautman county out
has not seriously retarded the collec
tion of additional historical data. Old
veterans have called trom a distance
and the hours of sickness and pain
have been greatly mitigated in listen
ing to their reminiscences of a past
historic age. so full of interest to the
writer and so vividly toia oy mo
gray haired old veterans. A complete
revision of mv manuscript is neces-
sarv before the matter can appear in
THE Statesman wnicn win necessi-
tate a delay of another week. The
first portion relating to Kaufman
county will be ready to publish by in
stallments in tne aaiiy m
time to appear in full in The
Weekly Statesman of March ldth
the earliest date practicable. The de-
lay is owing to sickness and other
causes which are unavoidable.
During the past week I have been
taking notes at Kemp City which is
the terminus of the Texas Trunk
Railroad now completed forty-six
miles from Dallas. Active move-
ments are said to be on foot to extend
the road to Athens a distance of
thirty miles. While sick at this place
I have been the guest of Dr. A. I.
Still who tendered me the hospitality
of his home and the best medical aid.
My early recovery is due to the kindly
ministrations of the veteran doctor
and his family. Dr. Still is truly a
worthv son of Esculapius and a man
of great public spirit in contributing
liberally of his means in the upbuild-
ing of Kemp City.
The first American child born in
Texas is living about four miles west
of Kemp City Mrs. Helena Berry-
man is the name of this distinguished
Texan who was born in the old town
of Nacadoches in 1804.
Rev. Richard Overton Watkins

Kemp City was the first Cumberland

interview with this well-preserved
old veteran furnishes a vast fund of
rire historical data never before pub
lished.
A visit to Hon. John H. Reagan's
headright about three miles east of
Kemp City which he located in
1844. was next. It is consid
ered historic ground. The house
which he built with his own
hands and the orchard planted by him
long ago. may yet be seen as the early
landmarks of this distinguished
Texan. The day after I visited the
first home of this pioneer youth in
Texas a letter was received from
Judge Reagan forwarded to Kemp
Citv a transcript of which I have
made for publication. The letter is
herewith given in full and shows a
just appreciation of the important
work of collecting reliable data for a
history of Texas liy counties. It is as
follows:
House of Representatives
Washington D. C Feb. 23 1884.
Mr. Edwin A. Overall. Kaufman. Texas :
Dear Sir Your letter of 19th
Inst is just received and also copies
of the Austin Statesman and the
Kaufman Sun.
I am glad to see that you are en
gaged in the preparation of a history
of Texas by counties. While such a
work will require time and a great
deal of labor it cannot fail to be both
interesting and valuable. The pres
entation of the past history and por
traiture of the present condition of
the counties of Texas must be both
instructive and interesting to our own
people and will give to others than
the people of Texas a clearer and
fuller view of the resources of our
great state and of the enterprise and
energy of our people than they might
obtain from less carefully prepared
sources of information.
I feel much interest in the history
of Kaufman county whichjyou are now
preparing. I was one of the pioneer
surveyors of that county about the
beginning of the year 1840 and for
several years later was oue of the pio
neer settlers in the territory oi wnat
is now Kaufman county remaining a
citizen of it until lSoi; and though I
have long since ceased to be a citizen
of that county. I have never ceased to
feel an interest in its growth and in
the prosperity and progress of its peo
ple v ery respectruuy
John II. Reagan.
Your correspondent feels Igratified
to receive so many manifestations of
respect and confidence coupled with
marked appreciation and genuine en
couragement as has been enlisted
from different sources regarding the
work of writing a history of Texas by
counties. The incentive to any labor
is greatly increased by the stimulus
derived from words of applause.

mind. JpwiN Ji overall.
One of Some Person's" Answers
To the Editor of The Statesman'
Austin. March I. The communi
cation in yesterday's Statesman
signed "Charity" indicates on the part
of the writer a very narrow-minded
and unscrupulous disposition and a
desire perhips to throw cold water on
the entertanment to be given by
"some persons" for the benefit of the
flood sufferers in other states. The
author of that communication seems
to think that because there are iso
lated cases of poverty and destitution
in our city the sending of clothing
and money to Bayland's Orphans'
Home and the sending of money to
assist in relieving the terrible suffer-
ing and destitution of entire com-
munities caused by the recent floods
are to be condemned and should
hot be encouraged. The author eyen
intimates that (Jjod will nqt' bless
"charity sent abroad" when there are
suffering poor in our midst and
has the cheek
to sign "charity" to the utterance of
such narrow minded sentiments. For
shame! Suppose other communities
had heretofore acted on that selfish
principle when the yellow pestilence
sent such wide-spread desolation
through the South and West. What
a spectacle would have been pre-
sented ! I trust the people of Austin
will remember these things next Tues
day night and lend a general assist
ance to the effort to give aid and
comfort to the suffering people of
those communities who have on many
occasions ueen prompt ana generous
