What a German Newspaper Says.
St. Joseph Volkablatt Ang. 1881
We Germans are In general not Inclin-
ed to believe at once In great announce-
ments aud puffs; we are rather suspicious
and often with perfect right of exagger-
ations aud buuibugs. Our motwi la.
'What the eye sees the heart believes"
and we therefore desire to see and exaut-
iue ourselves before we apeak about
tkinga and praise them. -This was our
Idea when we beard and read so much
about Dr. 8. A. Richmond's justly cele-
brated World's Eplleptio Institute sod
we therelore sent a reporter to the build-
ing. We are now able to give the best
Information on the subject based on a
personal review and examination of the
premises.
Our reporter found Dr. Richmond in
bis office. Tbe doctor kindly received
Dim and not only answered all bis "ques-
tions but abowed and explained every-
thing about the place to him. His office
is on tha first floor of the building and
its wain are covered with thousands of
photograpaa of gentlemen and ladies res-
tored to health ty the u of Samaritan
Nervine among whom our reporter re-
cognised many of his own countrymen
and lu glasa eases contain Innumerable
certificates of cures and letters in praise
of this world-famous remedy
' About ten years ago Dr. Hluhmond
came to ft. Joseph. He was then a poor
man with but little money and no
friends to assist him. Ue rented a small
office of Francis street -and commenced
the struggle for success single-handed
stubborn oppression on every hand and
Is to-day one ot the wealthiest men in
our midst. This fact alone Is simply suf-
ficient to show the merits of his invalua-
ble preparations even though there were
no other sources from which t p roc are
valid and reliable testaniony.

medicine has been the means of bringing

SPEECH OF HOl. J. If. HEX-
DEBSO.f.
The consideration of tbe bill ap
propriating three hundred leagues
set apart to the unorganized coun-
ties lor common school purposes
out of the reservation and to set
apart four million acres to be
equally divided between the univer-
sity and public free schools and the
substitute therefor to set apart only
one million acres out of the reserva-
tion to be equally divided between
the coimuou schools and the uni-
versity being before the senate
Senator Henderson arose and said:
Mr. Phesidkxt While I dislike
to trespass ou the valuable time of
the senate yet the importance of
the question" aud tbe interest I feel
in it constrains me to present
briefly my views upon the subject-
Especially is this so since
the representation calculated to
givealalse view as to my position
on a cognate branch of tbe subject
was stated by tbe honorable senator
from Gregg"on Saturday last. Mr.
President the bill with the amend-
ments thereto which we favor pro-
vide: That there shall be set apart out
of tbe reservat on of seven million
acres (reserved to pay the public
debt) lour million acres of land two
of which shall be set apart to the
public free schools and two millions
to the university lor its endowment
and support. The amendments also
provide for the prior recognition
and setting apart ot the 300 leagues
granted by the lust legislature to the
unorganized counties lor common
school purposes and we say that the
measure is practicable feasible aud
just l'racticablo because from the
best information we can get after
allowing all vested claims under auy
law of this state there will be six
million acres of said reservation left;
and right because tins disposition
will interfere with the legal or moral
right of no person or corporation
Tbe opponents of the measure are
those who favor the substitute which
seeks to set apart only one million
for the schools and uuirersity. They
say tney are mentis ot t lie uuiver
sfty out there are certain vested
rightsof individuals or corporations
takeu out under the act ot 1881 al
lowing persous to go into the rcsci-
vatiouaud purcliat-e the lands at tiny
cents au acre ; aud that these corn-
tracts are vested rights aud cau be
enforced and should be respected
aud that they will share the reserva-
tion. .Now the act ot 1881 under
which; this claim is set up
or that clause of it reads as
lollows : ' That auy person firm or
corporation desiring to purchase
any of tho unappropriated lauds
heretofore set apart may do so by
causing tbe laud which such person
desires to purchase to be surveyed
by the authorized surveyor e'tc."
Tho question is what is a vested
right under a fair construction of
the law ? The opposers ot the origi-
nal bill aud amendments say the
right has vested as soon as an ap-
Chcatiou is made to the surveyor
efore he has struck a lick ol work
and before the citizen has parted
with a dollar of his inouey ; and
they tell us that applications which
they term "tiles" have covered the
reservation like a cloud of Egyp-
tion locusts aud that a million acres
will exhaust the balauce probably.
On the other hand we mantaiu thitt
the right docs not vest with the
application and does not vest until
the actual survey of the land when
the citizen iu tact parts with his
money. We say that an obligation
must be reciprocal that although a
thousand mere applications may be
made to the state yet the state
would not be in a condition
to enforce a single one of them
and that being so neither
can tie individual enforce them.
And tbat is the fair construction of
the clause quoted only author-
izing the. land to be severed
from the reservation by an actual
survev. We are informed Mr.
President that a vast number of
such applications floating applica-
tions have been and are being
spread out over that reservation for
the mere purpose of controlling and
using that laud and keeping others
off of it. If such be the case our
senate bill on that subject will cut
that matter short for it ouly recog-
nizes valid surveys on the ground
and these we understand are few in
number. So that there will certain-
ly be left alter recognizing the valid
claims of this character against the
state ample territory to satisfy tbe
demands of this bill.
But passing over this the oppo-
nents of the original bill and the
advocates of the substitute tell us
of certificates which they say .are
valid prior claims to the objects
of this bill. They tell us of cer-
tain Confederate land certificates
and ot certain railroad certificates
which the state is under legal aud
moral right to redeem and to recog-
nize as prior to the claims of the
university fund.
Now as to tbat question we join
issue with the honorable senators.
Aa to tbe Confederate donation
bill it is known that I opposed it at
the last session in its original shape
as it provided for the promiscuous
donatiou ot 1280 acres ot land to
crippled Confederates regardless of
their means or financial circumstan
ces. Hut as amended providins
solely for the necessitous notwith-
standing I feared it might open the
flood-gates to a great deal of fraud
I yet. voted for it believing that it
would reach aud benefit some good
true and necessitous Confederate
soldiers. It passed aud became a
law. Some of those certificates
doubtless yet remain in the hands
of Confederate soldiers but the
great bulk of them went at ouce
into the hands of speculators at
nominal figures. They were pure
aud simple donations resting on no
consideration deemed violable in
law. They were issued when this
reservation had already been set
apart to the payment of the public
debt and are no claims upon it and
1 apprehend if there is a solitary
true and' tried Confederate soldier
yet holding one of those certificates
he would not have the state of
Texas prefer it over the claims
of the university. Not so with tbe
speculator however ; they are not
gifted with tbat sort of modesty.
But tbe opposition senators tell us
that there are a vast number of
claims ot railroads who have cer-
tificates for miles of roads com-
pleted and that their rights
should - le regarded. Exactly so
bnt we propose to regard them
just as the law regards them unless
they are of higher moral obligation
upou the people of Texas than the
claims of the university. All tbe
railroad certificates for roads com-
pleted have been issued for work
done since the reservation was set
aside in 1879. They built their roads
with lull knowledge that they could
not lay their cormorant grasp upon
a single acre of the reservation.
There was no power to make them
build their roads. They did it ot
their own volition ' charged
with full knowledge tbat the
public domain liable for their
location bad beeu exhausted
they bave already "gobbled up"
if 1 mav use the expression all of
the public lands of this fair state
upon which they could lay their
hands they seek now to clutch the
last remnant of publie land and
thus deprive tbe university of that
endowment which will make it per-
petual. I ask Mr. President is auy
of these certificates of higher moral
obligation than the endowment of
the state university ? They are for
private use with no legal obligation
resting on the state; the university
is to be made free for all the sons
and daughters of Texas. It was
looked forward to with feelings ol
hope and high aspiration by the
early patriots ana the obligation to
establish it is laid upon us by the
constitution itself. The honorable
senator from Uregg in bis argu-
ment on this bill attributed to me
the purpose of establishing aud
maintaining the university by a di-
rect' tax on tbe people. I feel as-
sured that the senator stands alone
in bis recollection of the language
which he attributes to me. lie said
"The senator trom Brazos with the
utmost innocence is iu favor of taxa-
tion to establish and maiutain the
university. The question then uuder
consideration was the bill to make
the iuterest ou certain bonds for
$134000 belonging to the university
which had beeu previously reported
by one of the departments as of
doubtful validity an available fund
for the purpose of using it to es
tablish and erect this institution. 1
was in favor of the measure because
I believed it would enable us to
erect the university so as to avoid
future taxation. But how stood
the senator? He was . opposed to
the measure: so tbat if his view
had prevailed we should have been
left without an available fuud to es-
tablish and erect that institution.
His purpose accomplished would
inevitably have resulted in direct
taxation. What I did say with the
' utmost innocence" if the senator
pleases was"lbat all our laws tend-
ed in the direction of fostering the
state university ; that tbe constitu-
tion provided for its establishment
as early as practicable ; that tbe con-
stitution even provided for a direct
tax on the people for the uuiversity
but to avert tbat we should take
the fuuds in hand which we could
now control."
The senator from Gregg has told
us he is the friend of the university.
In tact i hey have all told us so.
But what arc their acts iu that re-
gard? When it was proposed by
us to arrange for the estab-
lishment and erection of the univer-
sity bv niiikiug available the in
terest on. the permanent fuud of
5134iKt to use in its erection he
led tin! vau iu opposition to the
measure and he found a clause in
the constitution which by a forced
coiim ruction which satisfied
uiiu l that it could not be done aud
he maintained that it ought not to
be doue because it would take from
the permanent fund which ought to
be enlarged so that the uuiversity
could be perpetually supported. He
I was not only zealous but he was
cloqueut in Ins purpose to build up
that permanent fund ; that measure
was carried over his opposition but
we cerlainly expected that when we
came to the proposition now before
the senate to endow that institution
with a pittance of the public do-
main which has not beeu squan-
dered on railroads that the seuator
from Gregg would lead the advance
iu lavor ot the measure. But how
docs he stand to-day ? In opposi-
tion ; while yet avowing his friend-
ship to the uuiversity be is both
opposed to its establishment and
endowment. "Consistency thou art
a jewel" but I fear the seuator has
it not.
He tells us however he is not lir-
iug tor the present age but is seek-
ing a posthumous reputatiou. I
would be the last to deprive him of
mat uesire or ot that reputation
but 1 would remind bim of the coup
let
'Houorand shame from no condition rise;
Act wen your part mere an me nonor
lies."
Mr. President the people of Texas
are demanding the establishment
and endowment of this institution
ana let the senator look well to
what he does he 'may emulate the
tame and go down to history on the
same page ot mm who set a torch to
the Grecian temple that he might
live in history.
Tbe honorable senator may prove
himself strong enough to pull down
and destroy the establishment and
endowment of the Texas university
and bestow the funds which should
go to it to speculators aud corpora
tions but let mm beware ot the fall-
ing ruins.
We are told Mr. President bv
senators that this is not the oppor
tune time lor tbe establishment and
endowment of this university. May
I ask senators when will that
good time come? lnthe language
oi tue immortal Henry "will it
be the next year or the
next week. Shall we wait until
a university shall drop down to us
from the clouds fully fledged?
Such seems to be the pleasure of
some senators in this body at least
they would have us wait until every
foot of the public domain has been
swept away from us by the besom
of railroad legislation.' Do senators
bear in mind that nations aud states
iu all ages of tbe world's history
amongst the first steps in their de
velopment established seats of
learning t Do you not remember
that the Dutch republic while it
was carrying on that feariul struggle
with the power ot Spain which was
then the power of the world for
that freedom of conscience and re-
ligious liberty which you and I now
enjoy in the very storm cradle of its
origiu while every cuergy and re-
source was taxed to repel invasion
while the bardy Dutchmen were
struggling amid their dykes aud
ditches for their Jives and liberties
they yet found time aud- resources
to found universities which yet sur-
vive as monuments of their wisdom
and statesmanship.
Napoleon dnnug his most gigan
tic wars tounu time to plant great
institutions of learning which yet
live and will long contiuue
to exist to ' perpetuate his
genius and statesmanship in letters
more durable than brass. Cam-
bridge and Oxford date far back iu
the dim ages of English history aud
our own states early in their his-
tories and often beset with finan-
cial difficulties found time and re-
sources to plant their uuiversities
and their seats of learning of a high
order and Dartmouth and Yale
Harvard William aud Mary and
others are still remaining grow-
ing year by year with the country
and adding to its culture nd pros-
perity. And shall it be said of
Texas with no debt to speak of a
plethoric treasury with abounding
prosperity with a portion' of the
public domain yet unclutched by
corporations tbat this is no time for
us to establish and richly endow
this institution? so that in tbe fu-
ture it will he a perpetuity with-
out being a charge upon the people.
It seems to me' Mr. President tbat
westaud in this matter upon the
very threshold of opportunity and
that no such favorable time will
ever occur again. '
And it seems to me tbat while the
opportunity presses upon us the
mandate of the people is upon us also
in this regard and we should fail of
our duty aud prove recreant to the
charge committed to us did we not
heed their voice.
The constitution of the state com-
mands its establishment as soon as
practicable. The Democracy of
Texas voicing tho wealthy culture
and intelligence of this state at the
Dallas convention in 1880 said it
was practicable now. Tke governor
of this state sent bis' message to the
last legislature (o the ' same effect
and that legislature responding to
iu duty said by the bill
passed at . the last ' session to
organize it tbat now was the accept-
ed time. So that it seems to me
that the people of Texas have de-
termined this matter of time and
so far as we are concerned the
question ' is- resnjudicafa . We
bave the ' means to create a.' great
university. Our . common' school
system is - already richly endowed
with land owning according to my
information about fifty ' million
acres. The: university only asks out
of the reservation two million acres
which with the'one million ' acres
now .' owned by it 'will
if prudently managed consti-
tute a permanent fund the interest
of which will amply support said
institution as a lirst-class seat of
learning for the children of Texas
free of charge to them for all time
to come.
I ask senators will they neglect
this opportunity. I do not believe
you wilL We will act wisely but
speedily; speedily so that you and I
Mr. Presideut under the providence
of God may yet live to see the day
when Texas shall begin to enjoy
some of the beuelits ot this institu-
tion; and when we shall come to
close our eyes in the solemn hour of
death we may realize tbe lact that
the uuiversity of Texas established
and endowed iu part by our labors
is founded upon a rock and secure-
ly anchored in the affections of our
people and that it will continue
to gladden the hearts of posterity
and to conserve our laws our re-
ligion and our liberty.
TEXAS PR EMS OPINIONS.
THE CANVASS TO OPEN.
Tyler Courier'. The canvass for
state officers will open when the
legislature adjourns aud itisuoue
too early now for the people to
think over the matter of who is
worthy and capable for tbe several
offices of the state. There is another
duty equally important to the peo-
ple and tht is the election of county
officers. No county is safe within-
different lucompetent and untrust-
worthy officers aud it is the duty ot
the voter to secure the best material
for the several offices ot his county.
Good officers are a great blessing to
any county but iudifferennt officers
are a great injury and drawback to
THINKS it propek.
San Antonio Times: The Austin
Statesman is opposed to any plan
of districting the state which will
give the Republicans a chauce to
carry any of the districts. We con-
cur with the Statesman if this cau
be doue without gerrymandering
the state. If the tate is districted
with a view to the interests ot con-
tiguous couuties there will be no
chance for the liepublicaus to carry
a single district but if the attempt
to carry out the plan to make cer-
tain districts for particular congres-
sional aspirants succeeds it will be
apt to work detriment to the best
interests of the state and may re-
sult iu giving to this state a repre-
sentation which will not be a credit
to a Democratic state.
TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Mexia Ledrer: If the state thinks
tbe railroads arc getting the best of
the bargain let bur take reasonable
means to adjust the matter giving
the roads their rightful voice in auy
change to be brought about. It is
proposed to reduce the passenger
rate to three cents per mile aud
freight rate to fitty ceuts per hun-
dred miles for one huudred pounds.
Now if the roads are allowed to
speak in their behalf and cau prove
that such a reduction cannot be
carried out in tlm state without
crippling themselves then the state
would do a great wroug in passing1
such a law. Ou the other baud it
it is proved that the roads are gain
ing more iu proportion to capital in-
vested than the state then the latter
has the right aud ought to mterlere
. JUSTICE TO THE MASSES.
Sherman Courier: We are of
those who believe tbat the
country's greatest 'danger lies in
the uucurbed sway of gigantic cor-
porations and monopolies but have
no sympathy with those who believe
it a virtue to oppress a railroad
company. The advocates of the
policy indicated by these 1 papers
would as soon as all beuelit bad
been derived trom the building of
these roads grind them to the last
farthing possible under the law of
tbe land and but tor the law might
demand the roads and their fran-
chises in fee. There is a medium
position Where the oppressions of
the people may be checked and the
rights of the corporations at one
aud the samo time. We believe
that roads here in Texas where
their construction costs less per
mile perhaps than in almost any
state iu the uuiou with their land
grants etc. can better or as well
afford to carry passeugers at the
moderate rate of three cents as can
the roads ot other states. That five
cents is too high is attested by the
fact that railroads throughout the
land have conceded as much. Jus-
tice to tho masses aud at the same
time a respect for the rights of the
carriers argue strongly iu favor of
tbe bill now pending at Austin.
ENDORSEMENT FOR THE STATESMAN.
Dallas Times : There is but
one thing for an honest leg-
i lator to do in this appor-
tionment business and that is to
exercise his best judgment in form-
ing these districts' with reference
to the best interests of the different
counties. The ambitious ' of men
should not be thought of. The fact
that Wellborn .aud Mills or any
other men are members of congress
should be forgotten when consider-.
ing the apportionment. Not a man
iu congress now has ever doue or
will ever do anything great enough
to justify the legislature in cuttiug
him out a district iu order to give
him an office. The people are in-
terested in a fair apportionment
made with reference to the interests
of the whole country. They will
not forgive the servant who" man
worships to the extent of trimming
his actions to the wishes of our con-
gressman. The sixth district as
suggested by the Oxsheer bill is a
good one. Outside of a few ambiti-
ous men it meets with approval by
the mass of tbe people. If V ellborn
or Mills is slaughtered by it either
of these gentlemen if patriotic will
be glad to be sacrificed when they
see it is done for the good of the
country which has heretofore so
highly honored them.
IIaw ta Save Money.
Gonzales Knqnirer
Senator Terrell wants the state'to
build a house on her vacant lots in
Austin to be used as a capitol until
the new one is done. It will prob-
ably cost $50000 but he thinksthe
state will save money thereby and
afterwards can rent it out. The
idea does not please some of our ex-
changes. One thinks it would.be
wise for the state to invest the cash
balance iu a stock ranch and
another wants a saw mill built in
tho region of . the long-leaf pine.
It is not a subject for ridicule. Five
years will probably elapse before
tbe completion of the capitol. If in
the meautime money can be saved
to the state by erecting a building
rather tbau renting we are in favor
of its being done. Our represen-
tatives should manage the state's
business as carefully and economic
ally as the interests' en trusted 'to
them In their respective vocations

A new and very simple method of train-
ing vicious borses was exhibited in West
Philadelphia recently and tbe manner in
which some of the wildest borses were
subdued was astonishing. The first trial
was that of a kicking or"bucklng"inare

der on ber back lor a period of at least
nve years sne Deeame tame in about as
many minutes and allowed herself to be
ridden about without a sign of ber former
wildness. Tbe means by which tbe re-
sult wss accomplished was by a piece of
ugm rope wnicn was passed around me
front jaw of tbe mare just above the up-
per teeth crossed in her mouth aud
thence secured back of her neck. It was
claimed tbat no horse will kick or jump
when thus secured and that a "bucking'
horse alter receiving the treatment a
few times will abandon his vicious ways
forever. A very simple method was also
auown Dy wnicn a kicking borse could iio

animal's bead and tail by means of a rope
fastened to tbe tan and men tue bit and
then drawn tightly enough to incline the
animal's bead to one side. This It Is
