MONDAY JANUARY 14 1895
Congress in its death throes re-
members to what extent the coun-
try has recently pronounced
against its policy and wisely
shuts down on any attempt to re-
vive consideration of old war
claims.
Senator Crowley takes the bull
by the horns and rushes his own
matter wherein be is charged with
bribery and corruption in the late
Congressional race before the Sen-
ate presenting the petition for his
own ouster. His speech on the oc-
casion is as cheeky as the usual
acts of the redoubtable Miles.
■
The distress cry in far away Ne-
braska has been beard in Arkan-
sas and in Georgia and has elicit-
ed generous response in both of
these states. It is this opportune
offering on the altar of need that
shows in how far the old animosi-
ties are dying out and a more gen-
eral feeling of brotherhood pre-
vailing.
Hill’s New Year dinner with
President Cleveland and his recent
dining with Dan Lamont are only
evidences of a strong desire on the
part of Lamont to restore harmony
in the state of New York. Daniel
knows that the Democratic tiger’s
den in that state has been thinned
and he wants harmony among the
varmints that are left.
California was in the same con-
dition as Tennessee as to the elec-
tion of a governor but there an
honest interpretation and accept-
ance of the laws was adhered to
and the will of the people was car-
ried into effect by the outgoing
governor and the legislature. Ten-
nessee was not equally honest and
upon her Democratic legislature
and her old governor rest the stig-
ma of stealing the governorship
and thwarting the will of the peo-
ple as expressed at the polls. It
will be a losing game.
If the Tillman wing of the South
Carolina Democracy carry their
opposition so far as to drive the
conservative Democrats of that
state into an alliance with the Re- '
publicans it will be one of the most 1
fortunate occurrences that could
possibly happen. That state is
hopelessly divided against itself
and Its own interests are all in
peril owing to the Impossibility of
conservative Democrats making
head alone against the Tillman
forces. Any union of the conserv-
ative forces of the state against
such a combination cannot but
prove beneficial to the state.
The open letter of Governor Fish-
back. of Arkansas to the clergy of
Little Rock anent some of the
strictures put upon his acts as
governor and his views as to the
social evil question is one of the
most fearless sensible and well ex-
pressed deliverances on that sub-
ject that has ever been given by
any state executive. It is broadly
human dealing with existing and
recognized conditions of society
and not with attempts at utopian
results results that all the past
history of legislation on such sub-
jects show to have been beyond the
possibilitiesof thecase as presented.
It is seldom that the pulpit gets
such a turning down from the
pews as this and it is no wonder
that the clergy of Little Rock an-
nounce their intention of leaving
that letter without any reply.
This can be accepted as an unwont-
ed evidence of good horse sense on
their part.
Victoria farmers are going to try
their hands at the raising of tobac-
co Instead of adding to the already
overcrowded warehouses an extra
supply of cotton. There are great
possibilities for such a crop in this
state and the climate insures an
article of the finest quality. There
is hardly a single direction in
which the agriculturist can turn
his efforts that the returns will not
be greater than in the raising of
cotton under present conditions
and the prospect for improvement
is not a whit encouraging. The
diversity of crops is the only salva-
tion and the easier that crop can
be reduced In bulk and weight for
purposes of shipment the better.
Hence the profit of marketing corn
in cattle and hogs and of sending
cotton out as manufactured cloth.
This is true economy.
A sensible suffrage bill Is de-
manded from all quarters of the
state at the hands of the present
aggregation at Austin. That will
not come through the efforts of the
iresent Legislature unless a change
comes over the spirit of its dream.
At present it seems only to care for
the tithes of anise mint and cumin
and will not have time for the
weightier matters of good govern-
ment.
The states on the borders of that
terrorized Territory are growing
restless under the uncertainty that
lingers around them. The borders
of these states are largely at the
mercy of these marauders who
virtually rule the Territory and
find within it a safe asylum when
pursued by the authorities of the
contiguous states. The United
States government has a duty to
aerform in the preservation of
peace and she has the material
forces to compel a respect for law
and order. Only a quibbler will
contend that the National govern-
ment has no right to send troops
there and enforce law.
No greater disrespect could be
shown to the retiring governor of
the state than the manner in which
his elaborate and lengthy message
was received. There was not only
inattention which under so severe
a strain of mediocre intellect was
to be expected but there was
downright rudeness the members
not paying the most ordinary
courtesy either to the readers of
the instrument or to the document
Itself. There is a lesson in this
whole matter that should be heed-
ed. If it only result in cutting off
the waste of an outgoing adminis-
tration in this way it will not be
amiss.
Tennessee has come down to a
square case of steal. Her Demo-
cratic legislature declines to give
Governor elect Evans his certifi-
cate of election and will proceed
in the guise of an investigation to
count Turney in. There has been
no more open and barefaced fraud
committed since the day that a
Yankee deacon stole the meeting
house. If Turney and the state
Democracy can stand the obloquy
the Republicans and Evans can.
All such acts of injustice return
sooner or later to roost at home.
Rev. Sam Small is at his old
trade publishing a newspaper but
true to his old pulpit instincts he
had to abuse some one and his pen
has scratched the cuticle on the
backs of the Virginia state govern-
ment so effectually that he is com-
pelled to stand suit for libel. If it
had been in Texas this would not
have occurred as it is well known
here that neither of the “Sams”
can libel any one.
The state legislature evidently
does not think it worth while to
get down to business until the new
man is at the bellows. The state
would gain money and credit by
ending its administrative and
legislative terms at the same time.
As it now Is there is a dead loss of
a week’s time.
The state of Texas cannot ex-
pect to become Jwealthy populous
independent and influential at
least to the extent of her natural
possibilities unless she retains her
raw material at home and creating
her manufacturing plants changes
on her own soil her fibres into fab-
rics. This is the one path along
which she can so safely advance
that wisdom can find no cause to
declare against it.
Hogg is no longer governor. It
was not his fault only his misfor-
tune and that of the state that he
was elected governor and it is not
now manly to rub it in on him as
he retires from office the real sins
of his administration lie at the
door of those who put him in
office knowing him to be unequal
to its high requirements.
At the meeting of the city coun-
cil on Saturday it was evident that
there was not a full agreement
among the members of the Council
on the contract also that the con-
tract in some things was not suffi-
ciently specific but there is not
any reasonable doubt that the con-
tract will go as it is a plain under-
standing that labor should be paid
not less than $1.25 a day being ar-
rived at.
Governor Hogg goes out of his
four years’ term of office in a blaze
of fine cut glory kindled by his
own hand It being impossible or
inconvenient for him to find any
one else to lire the Ephesian
dome. James Stephen can light
his own glory-pile.
Just wait and see what Culber-
son will say to Hogg’s proposal to
double the state values thereby
doubling the taxes of the state.
Something will have to be done in
the face of the shortage and evi-
dent determination of the state
not to retrench its expenses. You
cannot spend and have both.
The House seems to be in a hu-
mor for saving at the spigot. It
remains to be seen whether later on
they will remain in this mood or
conclude to pay themselves for
their economy by opening the
bung. ;
Uvalde News thinks now that
the state legislature is in session
Texas will have something to in-
terest her. Not yet. It may come
later but at present the most un-
interesting week of the past fifty-
two has just been passed.
Fort Worth’s idea for the semi-
centennial of the state takes but
the location of the same at the
Fort does not take.
Burrows of Michigan is elected
to the Senate. Such changes from
House to Senate are not apt to add
anything to the luster of the in-
dividual thus promoted. Mills is
a case in point.
The Memphis Ayalanche is a
Democratic paper but it says no
end of things that sound for all
the world as though it was a Re-
publican journal. It has the cour-
age of its honest convictions.
The party partisanship that will
not admit of a newspaper telling
things as they appear to it is so
perniciously active as to effectually
I prevent that paper from exerting
any healthy Influence.
The testimony of the most Im-
partial witnesses to the lawless-
ness and terrorism of the Territo-
ry is not to be gainsaid. The at-
tention of the National authorities
is called to this disgrace In vain.
The City of Mexico complains of
the condition of the hacks there
many of which are in a filthy con-
dition. San Antonio can give that
immense city pointe on the matter
of a perfect hack service.
The state Solon who introduces
a bill to put the state of Texas on a
cash basis has undertaken a
mighty big job. He will notify
the taxpayers when the job is
satisfactorily completed.
The recent message of the retired
governor of Texas makes the Gal-
veston News tired as usual. Its
comments upon that document are
as caustic as usual and no more
approving.
Galveston News comes around
several points of the compass to-
ward the position so long contend-
ed for by the Light and asserts
that penalties for crime are very
well but preventives are better.
The town that cannot well sup-
port a live weekly paper will find
it stale and unprofitable trying to
put up for a measly dally. A good
weekly would be far preferable to
a poor daily.
Mexico complains about the un-
usual cold of this season and also
of the destructive northers in the
gulf. San Antonio is not exactly a
paradise but it fills the conditions
more nearly than elsewhere.
Irrigation legislation has not yet
been introduced into the state leg-
islature but the grist of “Johnson
grass” bills threatens to become
larger this session than in any for-
mer one.
Culberson appeared this last week
in the role of the great agnostic.
He will reverse this role now and
all the state will be eager for his
words. In or out it does make a
big difference.
If it takes the State Legislature
a week to elect its clerks and ap-
point its pages how many weeks
will it take it to do the business of
the state ? No immediate answer
is expeced.
The only thing that the sessions
of Congress have developed so far
is the impossibility of this present
body accomplishing anything.
That matter suspected at first is
certain now.
Governor Markham yields his
seat to his Republican successor on
the face of the returns. This is a
wisdom that the Democratic gov-
ernor of Tennessee cannot attain to.
It is too high for him.
When this government makes
the customs duties of the country
payable either in silver or in gold
it will take a long step toward the
preventing of gold for bond sales
leaving the treasury.
That Inaugural is on the tapis
and no end of the staid old people
of this staid old state will have a
stayed out late feeling in the
morning; a kind of “after the ball”
weariness.
Matters are down low when Sen-
ator David B. Hill can only secure
his own vote in the Senate to a
motion that he has made. Surely
there is something out of the per-
pendicular in that body.
The schedule of clerical pay at
the state capitol these legislative
days not indicate any special drift
toward retrenchment. All the
same the pay is none too much for
the services.
If the state of Texas under Dem-
ocratic management and control
in both the administrative and
legislative branch does any effec-
tive retrenching of expenses It will
be the first case on record.
Sour grapes in the way of a speak-
ership are just as sour despite the
label in the interests of harmony.
