REVOLT OF THE WEST.
Fcr 8 me years past there have been
signs of the revolt of the West against
Eastern domination of the govern
ment and control of its policies in fce-
lialf of New England monopoly at the
expense of the agricultural West to
ay nothing of the South. The drift
of Western opinion in this direction
was emphasized at the late elections
which constitute not merely a predic'
tion but a threat and in them the
East with its protective tariff and
currency contraction abominations
its dictation of the spoliation of the
West for the benelit of the money
power is dull if it cannot read the
hand writing on the wall.
The farmers of the West have been
robbed go long by the tariff and the
money iiHurersand the mortgage fiends
have so long preyed upon its people
that they are rebelling against their
masters and the logic of events un-
mistakably point to the growing
power of the West in alliance
with the riouth soon disputing
wun me r.ast mo mastery oi tne gov
ernment.
But that the money power of the
East will not surrender its control
without a desperate struggle is be-
coming plainer every day. In 1888 it
bought the piesidecey and through
the influence of its gold packed the
house of representatives with tools of
the Reed and McKinley stripe and
fastened on the country the odious
system of protection in defiance of the
people who voted for Cleveland and a
revenue tariff by 100000 majority.
That it is prepared to do something
equally desperate in 1892 it evidenced
by the revolutionary force bill which
the East is now attempting to engraft
on the government and through which
it expects by the bayonet if neces-
aary to keep control of the central
power by which to continue to fleece
the West and South in order to build
up its own wealth and section. But
it may find a lion in its path in the
shape of the aroused defiant and
powerful West.
SOUTHERN PKOKKESS.
Facts figures even the tables (f
Porter's census show that the South
is rapidly rising from the ruins of the
war and the desolation left by the
tramp of hostile armies. Her terri-
tory laid waste by tire and sword is
teeming with population; new cities
fresh marts of trade have been built
and the old ones increased in wealth
population and trade. Agriculture is
more prosperous and expanded to
limits indicating the vast and inex-
liaustable extent of our resources.
Our cotton crop of 8000000 bales
annually bringB into the South $100
000000 and other products in a like
proportion. The surplus of the
people of the South is annu-
ally increasing. Northern and
Eastern manufacturing capital
tempted by our fine climate the coal
anu mineral weann oi our lulls is
gradually but surely invading the
South and it is coming to slay and
build ua up. Look at the great man-
ufacturing establishments erected in
Virginia North Carolina Georgia
Alabama and some in Texas and it is
uot difficult to see that the South is
destined and that in the very near
future to become the manufacturing
center as it is already the agricultural
center of the United States. Not even
the enactment of the infamous force
bill designed as it is to check the
growing prosperity of the South can
stay the momentum which is sending
us to the front.
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION.
There were two or three heavy fail-
ures North yesterday and some South
the former reaching into the millions
The present financial situation has
followed the silver bill and tho Mc
Kinley monstrosity. This does not
of itself establish any connection be-
tween them but considering all the
Other circumstances the conclusion ''s
neither irrelevant nor untenable that
the relation is that of cause and effect.
Republican legislation has brought
the country to the verge of a general
panic. That the Republicans them-
selves realize and acknowledge the
fait is evidenced by their alarm exhib-
ited in the hurried preparation of
what they call the financial bill men-
tioned in the dispatches this morning
and which was yesterday debated in
the Republican caucus at Washington.
PRINTING THE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
A year ago the city council did a
very wise thing in ordering that their
proceedings should through the press
be .officially made known to other of
Austin's citizens than those who could
crowd into the diminutive room on
the hill so-called city hall. Before
that time it had been the custom to
printjthose proceedings in pamphlet
form and allow each alderman a dozen
or more copies for the delectation of
his special friends. But it finally
dawned upon our solons that the pub-
lie at large had some rights in the
premises and should be allowed to
read an official report of the council
proceedings. That this might be ac-
complished The Statesman was will-
ing to serve the public to the extent
of publishing the proceedings fur-
nished by the city clerk at just about
the actual cost of the composition.
This while of little or no pecuniary
benefit to The Statesman has been
found most satisfactory by the public.
The council at this time however are
bent on returning to their policy of
exclusiveness. At the lust meeting of
tho council the following report of
the printing committee was adopted:
"1. In the opinion of your commit-
tee the present method of publishing
the proceedings of this hoily should be
abolished. The 'synopsis' now in use
cannot furnish an intelligible account
of the action of the council and is
therefore unsatisfactory alike to the
people and to the members of the
body. v
'2 To print the proceedings in full
in the paper at the rate now paid 2.
cents per line would cost the city a
very considerable sum.
"3. Your committee does not believe
the expense of printing the proceed-
ings in the paper should be home by
the city. Your committee is informed
that in all other cities the papers print
the proceedings of this kind as a mat-
ter of news in which their subscribers
are interested and in their fulfillment
of their contract to supply tneir read-
ers with news. We do not know of
any good reason for excepting our city
from this general rule.
"4. Your committee believes that the
work of this body would be greatly ex-
pedited by a return to the old method
of printing the proceeding in pamph-
let form and we therefore recommend
that the resolution of Alderman Piatt
be adopted."
As to No. 1 it may bo said that to
this time it has been generally be-
lieved that Austin had an exceed-
ceedingly competent city clerk and
f r our part we must aver his official
reports so far from being "unintelli-
gible" to us have seemed models of
clear and concise work. We' may be
pardoned for admitting the council
know their own minds and what kind
of a report they want but we are not
advised of any proof the council have
that the reports for the last year have
been "unsatisfactory to the people."
In making this assertion will they
state their authority for it?
II. As to tho second count we will
say that when a pamphlet was
used a something that at most
no more than fifty people
in Austin ever saw it cost
between $10 &nd !f 12 each meeting of
the council. At the rate now charged
2J cents a lino three columns of pro-
ceedings could be printed in the
Statesman for tho same cost; the
average length we have printed has
been less than tvo columns. So that
tho "intelligible" reports could be
made a column longer without in-
creasing the cost to the city over the
phamphlets that served no purpose
other than litteiing the desks of the
aldermen.
III. As to tho third count the coun-
cil certainly have been misinformed.
The newspapers of other cities do just
like tho Statesman they furnish the
public as much of the council proceed-
ings as they care to and what they
select is of course published free; but
official proceedings are rightly
printed at the city's expense.
And we must be pardoned if in
making up our own reports we
decide what we think is actually news.
Consideration for this that or the
other alderman is not such news.
IV. This last count may be dis
missed with simply a request for an
explanation of the rather "unintelligi-
ble" remarks as to the "expediting" of
the business of the council.
In conclusion it must be distinctly
understood that this has been written
for the citizens of Austin and not for
The Statesman PibmphingCom-
pany. ut course there will be those
narrow-minded ones who will cry out
money gain etc. But the price
charged the city is such a small thing
we can t anora to answer such petty
nings. nut tne people or Austin lias
a right to see the official proceedings
of tiieir city council. If a pamphlet
is the only style in which these pro-
ceedings can be "intelligibly" printed
wny by all means adopt the phamph-
let; but don't make the city pay for
the satisfaction of twenty a'dermen
and some of their friends. Print two
or three thousand phamplets and hire
a mail to distribute them among the
homes of the city. If this is done
we will have nothing more to say.
AUSTIN WfcEKKV STATESM AX. TTTTTHSTUV DECEMBER 15 1890
Is Mulhatton out about Pine
Ridge? Some of the reports of bloody
fights with the Indians sound like
him.
The work of the advertising com-
mittee has but just commenced. Lend
them a helping hand in every way you
can. It is your work in which they
are engaged.
The McCartheyites claim it was
mud not lime thrown into Parnell's
eyes during the fight at Ballinakill.
If it was anything like our Sixth ward
mud in wet weather there wasn't
much difference.
It is a race with Uncle ram and the
cattlemen who will buy the Cherokee
Strip. The stockmen have a heavier
bid than the government and ought
to get it. No doubt the Indians will
strike a trade with them.
An address of some Irish ladies is-
sued yesterday says Parnell's presence
pollutes the very soil. This is putting
it very strong. But the fact is Par-
nell has offended the moral sentiment
of Europe which will destroy his in
fluence no matter how brilliant his
ability.
Miss Kate Dkexei who has become
.i i - i i. i
a nun in tne uainouc cnurcn nas
given not only herself but her fortune
of !fS000000 to the church. If some
Texas cowboy could have struck up
with her before the took the veil he
might have come in for a shi.io of this
magnificent fortune.
It is more than criminal idleness
for us to dally along in this way about
advertising Austin. In the name of
all that is progressive what are $4-
000 or $5000 a month to a town like
Austin for advertising purposes?
Every man in Austin will be bene-
fitted and every man should do his
part in the work none need fear they
will do too much.
The Houston Post says : "Mr. T. J.
Hurley stated a great truth when he
pointed out that the true immigration
agent of Texas is her press. If a num
ber of copies of each issue of the COO
Texas papers were sent abroad what a
power they would exert." A town
can have no other so good an adver
tisement as a daily newspaper. The
paper in a distant place can tell the
story of a town's condition and growth
as it can be told by no other medium.
Texas should daily hive sent north
100000 copies of her papers. It would
pay soon and tremendously.
The Austin Globe thus pays tribute
to a mo.4 estimable gentleman and
gifted young statesman : "The Globe
would modestly suggest that Senator
Geo. W. Tyler of Belton would make
a most excellent president pro tern
for the coming sessbn of the state
senate. Senator Tyler is a most ex-
cellent presiding officer a perfect par
liamentarian and a most excellent
gentleman and we think lib would fill
the position with honor to himself
and with credit to the body." The-
Statesman does not know where that
honor could be more worthily be-
stowed. The editorial of Daniels' Texas
Medical Journal for December very
properly hits Texas doctors members
or ex-members of the State Medical
Association for allowing the use of
their names on boxes of patent pills.
The Journal is correct. Of all men
Texas physicians with diplomas in
their pockets ought never to descend
to the ways of the" mountebank. The
science of medicine in Texas and
elsewhere as represented by State
and district associations ought to be
kept clear of even the suspicion of
quackery. In no other way will the
practice of medicine command the
popular respect and esteem.'
Mr. H. II. Cliihlers. -Mr.
H. H. Childers well known in
Austin but now living in Denver is
in the city. He has been over to San
Antonio to see about the case pend-
ing against him there. It will be re-
membered that some weeks ago his
bond was forfeited but it seems it
was done through mistake. Mr.
Childers was in Denver but was not
notified that he was wanted at San
Antonio. When he left Texas for
Denver he had an agreement with the
state attorney that he (Childers)
should be notified of the setting of the
case and should have twenty days
notic after the case was set to give
him time to reach San Antonio. He
was not notified and of course did not
appear ' and his bond was forfeited.
The case was called yesterday and
the forfeiture was set aside. Mr.
Childers says he has no fears about
the final result of his trial and he
feels perfectly safe in the hands of
his attorneys.

CompHri-nnn hiiiI Facts About Onr
Luminary That Are Interesting.
RIj
We con measure tne quantity of
heat that the sun constantly emits be-
cause wo can measure the amount re-
ceived by our earth which intercepts
about the 2.300000000th part of all the
light and beat given dut by til? sun.
Thus we find that in every second of
time the sun emits as much heat as
would result from the combustion of
11600000000000 tons of coal. It may
be interesting to the reader to know
that each portion of the sun's surface
as large as our earth emits as much
heat per second as would 1.000000000
tons of coal instantly transformed into
heat a relative amount easily remem-
bered. Now it is easily calculated from this
that if the sun's whole mass consisted
of coal and could burn up until the
time when the very last ton were con-
sumed maintaining until then the rate
of emission now kept up the supply
could not possibly last over 5000 years.
As the sun has most certainly been
emitting liprlit and boat for a period
many I will not say how many times
longer than this tho idea that the great
solar fire is kept up by any such fuel as
coal is of course untenable.
There are many other reasons for re-
jecting the idea that the sun is com
posed of burning matter using the
word ''buniitifr" in its proper sense
meaning thereby anything that is being
consumed according to which a piece
of coal in a lire would be burning
whereas a piece of iron which is red hot
is not burning though burning hot. In
like manner wo find ourselves com-
pelled to discard the belief that the sun
may be a body raised at some remote
epoch to nn intense heat throughout its
entire mass and now gradually cool
ing. That it would not be possible for
any known metal or material to be
wrought up to such a tcrriblo heat has
been proven by an astronomer who vis-
ited a rolling mill for the purpose of
making experiments.
He turned his instrument upon the
white hot steel as it came from the fur
nace and then upon the sun. The re-
sult was that tho sun's heat was found
to bo S3 times hotter than the melted
steel and 5300 times as bright! If the
sun were a ''burning" mass in the
course of a few thousand years it would
have cooled far more than tho sun hits
providing it has; but it has not been
proven that it has cooled at all. We
have evidence that he has poured his
heat upon tho worlds during periods
compared with which the duration of
tho human race is but a second amid
centuries while tho duration of the
historic raeo is utterly lost by compari-

POLLY MADE A MATCH.
A BashfqJ Youth Helped Out In the Nick
or Time by a Bird That Spoke l.'p.
"A parrot is usually regarded I
know us a very mischievous meddle-
some bird and all the stories Jire of
their interference and troublo making
but I have always believed that I owe
my life's happiness to one of them" re-
marked Mr. M. C of this place a
day or two ago to a friend. Tho story
being entreated Mr. C continued:
"I was the most bashful youth you
ever saw tho very shyest imaginable
especially where ladies were concerned.
I was fond of their society enjoying it
so that 1 sought it as often as I could
and yet at the same time in a perfect
agony of bashfulness if required to an-
swer the simplest question or to express
an opinion on any subject while to be
asked to button a glove or any such
little service would throw mo into such
h state of nervous excitement that I
usually ended in making an awkward
dunce of myself.
"I visited at one house where the
girls or rather two of them romping
high spirited misses took the keenest
delight in playing upon this bashfulness
of mine; but secretly adoring the
cdSur sister the eldest I bore this
patiently for while she eoufd not al-
ways refrain from laughing at her sis-
ters' pranks and the confusion they
threw me into she herself never teased
me.
"Dut to get to Miss Polly. She was
a green bird with a yellow head and a
wicked eye and a habit of walking in
the (lower garden wherein a little sum-
mer bouse fitted up as n. parlor the
girls were fond of entertaining their
company during the pleasant months.
This bird was sitting one day on a trellis
near by when ii: a state of tho greatest
excitement I came to this summer par-
lor and meeting a servant sent Miss
Nellie word to please meet mo there.
I had heard that a rival had appeared
on the scone and that it was thought
that the girl I had loved so long in si-
lence was favoring tho new coiner but
I had made up my mind to find out the
truth of the report by speaking at last
hi my own cause.
"I had fully determined in doing this
which seemed an easy task till I caught
sight of her sweet faco as she advanced
toward mo then my courage lied and
in abject terror I waited for her. I
stammered out some foolish speech in-
tended for an apology and sat looking
at her dismayed to see how unusually
quiet and depressed she seemed while
Polly walking up and down tho trellis
watched us both suspiciously. At last
just as I decided to put it off as 1 had
decided a hundred times before that
parrot paused in her strutting and
leaning over urged 'Kiss hoi ! kiss
her quick I you goose I' My heart
stopped beating and I scarcely dared
steal a glance at Miss Nellie but when
I did she was blushing so divinely her
lips were so tempting and well there
was a look in her eyes that told ni a
delicious secret; so with sudden cour-
age. 1 leaned forward and with a 'May
I Nell?' followed Poll's sago advice.

In all probability I would have allowed
the tr.Uo.iro I coveted to slip through
my fingerj had she not helped me out.

to lovo a man so bashful that he would
not tako his own and that she would
