The Eaton-Murphy affair is the
juicest scandal ever on the surface of
Texas. Either Miss Murphy is a
wicked and terrible woman or she is a
vastly injured one. Somehow we al-
ways give the woman the benefit of
the doubt. It is astonishing that from
the injuries women have received at
the hands of the men. there are
no more fiends in the fair ranks (than
there are. Mr. Eaton will not come

TILDEN AND PAYNE.
Since the election of Mr. Payne to
the United States senate and indeed
before much has been said of him as
a probable candidate under certain
circumstances for president. While
considering him as we do a patriot
an honest clean-handed man yet he
like the distinguished man with whose
name we have associated him above
is an old man. These two great
and useful in their day have passed
the period in life when we may expect
that degree of usefulness as well as
mental and physical activity so nec-
essary to a position such as the ruling
power in a government like this.
While the position is one of
vast honor and should excite the
ambition of every proud citizen it is
also one of vast drudgery mental and
physical. Neither of them can stand
up to the task for four years and it
will if either is chosen be only an
other case ot vice-presidential sue
eession. Mr. Payne's tariff theories
are good albeit they are formed just
a little too closely upon the eastern
models to be exactly popular to us
here. The most adroit and skillful
causists are continually harping upon
New York as the battle ground of the
coming campaign. While we expect
to carry New York yet with
?Lr.onsapd vigorous vftstsni" ticket
such as we suggested the other day
we will carry enough of the western
states to make us indifferent to that
state for once. But with either Til-
den or Payne at the head of the ticket
New York must needs be the battle
ground. New York is an unsafe state
for any man for any party and for
any principle. Her majorities both
democratic and republican have ever
been too vast too fluctuating inch
eating that they rise or fall with the
fluctuations of the market. Money is
too powerful in adjusting her politic?
and it is too plentiful as well as too
readily put up. We have come to
that point where the democracy can
never win when the pivotal point is
placed in New York. We must win
western territory instead and that
cannot be done with either of the
distinguished men we have named at
the head of the ticket.
John Kelly who sways the mob in
the great city is too corrupt or he is
too full of veteran prejudices and
keen hatreds to be depended upon
But for him to-day Gen. Hancock
would be president instead of that
weak dude whose whole career since
poor Garfield's death has been that of
a callow school boy who has found
his fir.it sweet hart and tnrdly knows
v h it he will do with h-r. John
Krslly 'ia not properly our mod
ern Warwick but he is in one
way an approximation. He has killed
off more promising democratic people
than any other man in the nation.
We must remove democratic chances
from the domain of John Kelly and
with either Payne or Tilden this can
not be done. Eastern democracy is
with its tariff heresies almost as dis-
tasteful in the west as protective re
publicanism. The people of the west
are vigorously protesting against the
protected robbery by the east and any
choice by the national democratic
convention which indicates a Disposi
tion to dally with that murderously
corrupt principle will loose enough of
the western .states now considered
certain to neutralize the effects of a
two hundred thousand majority in
New York.
With a fact staring us as plainly in
the face as does this would it not in-
deed be the sheerest folly to consider
seriously even for a moment either
of these men. Far better for the ul-
timate success of the party to loose
with either Morrison or McDonald
than to win with Payne or Tilden.
If we ar t go east for our man if
we are to Ii;vj high tariff democracy
( ?) in God's name let us couple with
it some vigor some dash at least
enough to suar-coat the bitter pill a
little. Take Bayard or Randall at
once and ba done with it. The peo-
ple who would see either of them to
the fore are sadly forgetting the
the fact that the south and the west
are aligning themselves now on busi-
ness considerations and it is certainly
neither good business morality or pol-
icy to stand by the principle of high
tariff which is murdering the west
that a few pampered industries at the
east may grow rich and prosperous
or rather continue so at the expense
of the teeming toiliDg west and south.
There has been a tremendous revolu-
tion going on here and they misread
the situation sadly who don't see that
we are done forever with the dishon-
est and cruel policy which has made
New England rich and powerful at
the expense of the western states.
WITHERING AMBITIONS.
There are quite a number of gentle
men in Texas who a short time since
were universally credited with rapidly
unfolding ambition to take a seat in
the gubernatorial chair. Perhaps the
announcements were made premature-
ly and perhaps the loud assertion that
they are no longer in the race is but
the merest of mere blinds perhaps to
bring" about that comfortable dark
horse relation to the nominating con
vention which has in the past and
may still for aught we know produce
such astonishing results. It is now
said that Gen. Ross is absolutely and
entirely out of the field and would not
run upon any possible consideration.
When a man such as Ross makes
declaration of this kind it means just
what it says and all the doubt In the
case is as to whether the Waco Day is
well informed or not. If not compli-
cations of a serious nature may arise
and his excellency experience rough
sailing ere he reaches port next time
The old alcalde is also said to be out of
the race by what authority or wheth
er it is good or bad we really do not
know. But one thing we have learn
ed about tne old alcalde in tne years
that are past he will do to watch. It
injures no man's political health to
turn a wary eye on the old alcalde
every once in awhile. He is adroit
watchful bold and determined and
he understands how to catch the
masses as well as any man in all broad
Tex a. 1 Many budding- politicians
fondly dream that the old man is safely
buried in his law classes at the univer-
sity. This wishisnt a safe father
to the thought. . When the prop-
er time comes the old alcalde will
spring forth with renewed youth and
two hour speeches will again ring in
the ears of men as of yore and if not
closely watched the blessed old man
will capture the convention in a way
which is peculiarly his own. He's
the very devil before a lot of rural
delegates is the old alcalde and
a number of men in Texas and some
in Europe have a vivid recollection of
him ' in tlfat interesting position.
Should the old alcalde either come
out himself or designate a man
the memory pf that glorious cash
balance would wither the ambi-
tions of the short fetlock candidates
like a blast of fire. Yen see a m.m
doa't have to be ri-ally great it onlv
he can teach the people to think he is.
And a real cash balance is no better
than an intangible one if the people
are only willing to jump with the
proposition. The old alcalde has
played that card very skillfully in the
thedajs which are past. He may do
so again and with equal effect. It is
sad then it is soul harrowing to learn
that he is not in the race will not be.
John Peter Smith is the only man
who can be depended on. lie is
really and truly not in and won't be.
The Gazette knows John Peter and
it says he Is not. But the suspicion
obtains that the ardor of the Gazette
and Fort Worth to have the conven-
tion at " the place where Hie panther
laid down" is not altogether free
from political guile far-reaching dev-
ilish guile. You see a lobby is a won-
derful influence both in a convention
and in a legislative hall. A good
healthy Fort Worth lobby and a
deadlock between his excellency and
one of these fellows who are " really
out of politics" might chuck a rav-
ishing chance in John Peter's way
and we juat believe he would take it.
He is not a fool if he is totally devoid
of political ambition as the Gazette
ayers.
TEXAS SCHOOLS. "
With a royal provision for the edu-
cation of every child in the state of
all races colors and conditions in life
Texas has as yet but a very imperfect
system of public instruction. There
is not a doubt that if all the resources
of the state's wonderfully beneficent
care for this interest were utilized the
public schools would be able to main-
tain a ten months' uninterrupted ses-
sion. We would be more than de-
lighted to see the next legislature
eliminate from the system some of
the features which operate now to re-
tard rather than to forward the objects
in view. The states of the union are fall-
ing behind thse of Europe in this mat-
ter of mas3 education. Even old Spain
has.within the last three years adopted
a system which would be an ornament
to any nation of either the old or new
worlds and the king is president and
always presides at the meetings of the
national teachers' association. Texas
is rich almost beyond comparison and
could well inaugurate and sustain a
system which would be superior to
that maintained in any of the states.
She should do it if for no other or
higher reason than the distinction it
would bring to her.
Aside f r m all th the public
school is the engine with which we
must fight the pix-shooter whenever
we beccmo tamest in the determina-
tion to stamp out that black blotch
on the state's escutcheon. Crime aud
lawlessness fly away before the tri-
umphant and ever victorious school-
master. We are glad to note that
many of the papers of the state are
moving earnestly in the direction of
stirring up this most important mat-
ter. It is a good cause and too much
effort cannot be given it.
Travis couuey and the city of Aus-
tin ought by all means to buy the
bridge over the Colorado at the foot
of Congress avenue. There are many
cogent reasons why this should be
done among which there is one to
which we will refer. It is this:
Farmers oftentimes have not the
money. In this country this class of
our population gets money only once
a year and at other times has
none. It works a hardship when they
have a little produce to sell to replen
ish the stock. In this way the country
people are injured and the city folk
are deprived of many a fresh egg
fresh butter vegetables and the like;
and the merchants are often deprived
in this way of profitable trade. There
are many more and many more grave
reasons why this structure should be
owned by the county and made a free
causeway. Let the people think of
the matter and act when the time
come3. .
The testimony in the Murphy-Eaton
case on trial at Fort Worth elicited
the following delectable love scene
and dialogue as something that trans
pired when Eaton was supposed to be
on his death-bed:
George Do you love me beauty ?
Miss Fannie Yes.
George I am dying beauty; kiss
me good-Dye.
Miss Fannie kissed him.
George will you wear mourning
ior me beauty t
Miss Fannie I will.
George Will you ever marry ?
Miss Fannie 1 never will marry!
The inter-state drill to occur at
Houston soon is attracting wide at-
tention. The press gang is to be erir
tertained by the Houston bohemian
club free of all charge. This includes
mud baths in the bayou and other
luxuries peculiar to Houston alone.
Coke's views on the fence-cutting
business are very sound. However
he was a little unfortunate in his
choice of a medium for their dissemi
nation in Texas. The good people do
not know if the stalwart senator really
uttered them or not.
The Globe-Democrat will thrive
and grow tat until the pistol is drivr

The land board will get tired of the
whacking long ere the ides of Novem-
ber come. Their action seems an
usurpation of authority if it is not
revolutionary altogether.
We are in favor of the two-thirds
rule and two conventions also. Both
are democratic and both will tend to
preserve harmony in the ranks of the
party.
If Nat Q. doesn't get rich it will
only be because of his enormous con-

The people all say that The

WASHINGTON.
A Delayed but Very Interesting Let-
ter Which it Will Pay to Read.
To the Editor of The State jin.ui :
Washington D. C Mureh 4. It
had been heralded throughout the cap-
ital that yesterday would be an event-
ful day ia the history of the legislation
of this congress. Mr. Converse of
Ohio announced that he would call
up his resolution in regard to restoring
the tariff on wool. It was to b? cilld
up not for consideration l iu simply 4-
that the house or repre( n'ati ves might
determine upon a l;iy lor its consid-
eration. The deLate on the proposi-
tion to fix a time was to be conducted
by the Ohio delegation Messrs.
CONVERSE AND M'KINLEY
ia favor of and Frank Hurd against.
The action of the house on this mat-
ter was to be presumed upon as an in-
dex of the sentiment of that body on
the tariff question. The republicans
and is'am Randall's following have
been claiming sixty democratic votes
in opposition to the proposed inter-
ference with the existing tariff. All
parties interested were looking to yes-
terday's developments for a settlement
of the tariff status of the house of
representatives. Contrary to all ex-
pectations Mr. Converse weakened
and failed to call up the wool resolu-
tion. Frank Hurd was eager for the
forensic fray. This is the second fail-
ure on this subject made by Mr. Con-
verse this session. Your correspond-
ent did not attach much importance to
the first failure because it was patent
that the house was riot-ready for the
SECOND BACKING DOWN
can be attached a good deal of signifi-
cance. Mr. Converse has had ample
time to canvass the democratic side
and should be and doubtless
is well acquainted with the
sentiment of the democratic members.
There has not been a time in the his
tory of the present congress more pro
pitious than yesterday in lact. the
house had yielded itself to the occa
sion and was on the " qui vive for
the discussion. The faiiure of Mr.
Converse to call for a vote in the fix-
ing of the time for the consideration
of this very important measure im-
presses me with the idea that he has
but small hope ot succeeding in his
undertaking and strengthens my con-
fidence in the intention of
the democratic side
to redeem its pledges to the people
and diminish instead of increasing
the burden of taxation. That Mr.
Hurd was confident that the majority
of the house was with him is evi-
denced by the fact that he expressed
himself as anxious to meet the is-
sue and get the wool measure squarely
before the house. There was no allu-
sion made to the matter at all and in
lieu of the projected "wool pulling"
the house quietly passed the bill pen-
sioning the Mexican veterans.
The Copiah investigation i3 ended.
The committee are very reticent and
it is not yet apparent what will be the
character of the report. It is intima-
ted ih : there will be
NO MINORITY REPORT.
A gentleman who accompanied the
committee told me that there was evi-
dence that several parties had been
killea and his unprejudiced judgment
was thai those killed ought to have
been killed.
The only remarkable development
in the Danville riot investigation is
the fact sworn to by John S. Wise
readjuster member that he frequently
talked politics wich the negroes but
made it a rule to receive them in
his kitchen.
The republicans are depending on
the results of these two examinations
for campaign thunder in the presiden-
tial canvas. There is little doubt but
that the bloody shirt will be aired ex-
tensively this fall.
Eulogies upon the life and character
of the late
MR. HASKELL
of Kansas were delivered in the house
Saturday and in the senate yesterday.
President Arthur has not yet nomi-
nated a man to succeed Judge Morrill.
All the Texas delegation are opposed
to A. Jack Evans and it is thought
that the executive desires to appoint
him. home are ot the opinion that

the Chicago convention and then

wants to appoint Evans it is earnestly
to be desired that J ack will ce

or that "Chet" will change his mind.
Arthur and Logan are both workine
in their different ways for
the nominations. Nobody and every
body is spoken of in connection with
the democratic nomination. Mr. Dan-
iel Goodloe the founder of the repub
lican party who has been in public
life for forty years the intimate per
sonal friend ot Mr. Lincoln and for
years the editor ot the Chronicle
thinks that the only chance tor the
democracy to win is under the leader-
ship of David Davis. In this con
nection it will be well to state that
Mr. Goodloe has not affiliated with
the republicans for years. Being a
thoroughly honest man himself he is
eminently in tavor of turning the
RASCALS OTJT.
There will not be any stir about
the "Lasker" affair. It will probably
be settled as far as this Congress is
concerned by a duel with Krupp
guns between Ochiltree and Bismark.

LAND DEPARTMENT.
There was another meeting of the
state Ian- board yesterday to consider
the communication of Messrs. Simp-
son and Davis committee from the
recent stockmens' convention at Abi-
lene asking the board to recede from
its action raising the rate of lease of
school lands from four to eight cents
per acre per'annum. After some dis-
cussion the board declined to recede
from its position and instructed the
secretary to telegraph the committee
to that effect at once as the' commit-
tee desired to know the action of the
board for consideration .it another
convention of stockmen being held
at Dallas. The motion as offered
by land commissioner Walsh
and unanimously adopted was that
the board saw no sufficient reason for
receding from its action. Except as a
matter of courtesy to the committee it
was argued bY -SCffiS'of the members
T ofthe board that there was really no
occasion tor taking any afhrmative
action. Attorney-General Templeton
was the only member of the board ab-
sent and being witnout any advices
from him the board concluded to pass
upon the question for the information
of the convention at Dallas as stated.
The attorney-general's presence would
not have changed the result ana it is
not kuown what is his position.
In the matter of the Pacific railroad
land reservations it appearing that
many of the sections already surveyed
and numbered embraced 712 instead
of 640 acres the board upon motion
of Land Commissioner Walsh agreed
that the railroad should be granted
patents for the sections as laid out and
numbered without changing the size
and numbers of the sections and that
the excess of 60 odd acres per section
should be taken from future patents
below the boundary line of the reser-
vation. This would save the state the
trouble and expense of remembering
the sections in exhausting other cer-
tificates to which the railroad is en-
titled. A long petition was presented from
numerous citizens ot Wheeler ana
attache! counties a-sking that the
public school and asylum lands be
sold only to actual settlers in quanti
ties not to exceed 640 acres and espec
ially in the W heeler land district.
This pt tition it seem3 was prepared
on the day the board took action up-
on that questiou pretty much in accor
dance it happened with the mam
views of the petitioners. So there
was no occasion for further action in
the matter though the subject of sales
to actual settlers was discussed in a
general way by the board in connec-
tion with the views expressed in the
petition which is interesting as a sort
of political pronunciamento as well as
Dusines Doomerang. near it rurtner
And we further ask that the sales
sbail be so restricted as to prevent the
possibility of collusion or avoidance as
that the land shall not be transterabie
for five years from date of purchase
that the land must be improved to the
amount of 300 within one ear from
purchase etc. How the frauds are
accomplished they say it is well
known. It is Dy the use of
names of parties who after filing on
the seven sections allowed each man
by law transfer the whole to some
party who furnished the money for
the entire transaction. And thus by
a little circuity hundred of sections
are brought up simultaneously by an
individual or corporation in point
they cite the wholesale filing on school
lands in Wheeler county by Harold
& Ixard and that of the Franklyn
land and cattle company in Gray
county.
Instead of such wholesale business
as this thev want to reduce to a eer-
tainty the professed policy of demo
cratic conventions and breaK the hold
of the beaks of the cormorants which
have become so fixed they say in the
body of the commonwealth than even
an attempt to loosen them shakes the
state into convulsions.
"Against those who have persisted
to the last in legislating in favor of

disturbed by the demands of their
countrymen to serve them in public

The petition is a strong one and
considering its luiminations the land
board are fortunate in happening to
avoid the thunder stroke by conclud
ing to retail the lands to actual set
tlers instead of wholesaling them to
cormorant corporations.
After some other business of minor
interest the board adjourned.
OTHER MATTERS.
The comptroller having some per
manent school funds ahead will finish
the purchase of 12000 of San Saba
county bond contracted for some
time ago by the board of education.
The board will probably purchase
other bonds shortly.
A citizen of this state writes to the
attorney general that he can furnish
a certified copy of the bond of Moses
Taylor of New York for running and
keeping in good order the Columbia
branch of the International railroad.
The state engineer it will be remem
bered stated he could not find the
bond. The original is supposed to
have been burned in the burning of
the old state house.

SAN SABA.
A Celebrated Case. District Court
A Eailroad Project
To the Editor of the Statesman.
SAN Saba Texas March 10 1884.
One week of our district court has
nassd. and I may say at least two-
thirds ol me Dusiness nas uebii reauueu.
The old case of some three years stan
ding of the State of Texas vs. John
L. t erkins baing on an indictment
for murder was taken up on Friday
and after hearing but one witness for
th nrosecution. the state's attorney
closed and instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict of acquittal and after a
short consultation the jury rendered a
verH iff. arwvniinciv. This is the last of a
casein which in connection therewith
oue man lost his life the county of
San Saba is not enriched and a good
old man the father of Perkins
is ruined in his old age in
his efforts to save his son from pay
ing the penalty or a broken
law. The brief facts of the case are
substantially as follows : About the
date mentioned John L. Perkins a
young man 22 or 23 years of age.
came to this county with a woman
some years his senior who was sup-
posed to be his wife but who after-
wards proved to be the wife of a man
by the name of Wadkins. All parties
were formerly neighbors in Georgia
A few weeks after the arrival of Per-
kins and his supposed wife the ad
vent of wadkihs was announced
The latter went direct to the house Gf
the former and staved aaveral days.
How Wadsworth was received by
Perkins or whether any kind of com-
promise was attempted is not known;
at any rate the neighbors heard pis-
tol or gun shots one night in the di-
rection of the Perkins mansion
and the next day Wadkins was
missing. Suspicious neighbors believ-
ing that foul play might account for
Wadkins' sudden disappearancei made
search; and after a couple of weeks
found the body of a man lying under-
a pils of brush and rubbish in the
tinibr near the river. The body was
decomposed and was not identifldi
positively as the remains of Wadkins.
Perkins and the woman were prompt-
ly arrested and accused of the mur-
der. The trial was set and postponed
numerous times. Finally last vear
Mr3. Waukins Mrs. Perkins the "wo-'
mar or "Josina" as she was tiniver-
sally called were brought to trial and
acquitted. Perkins was kept uiidtr
heavy bond; Josina was wooed at.d
won by a man by the name
of Batt. They married and went off.
Now at this term of the court Per-
kins is arraigned for trial and Josina
appearing on the scene as a palliating i
witness is readily acquitted. On t n- '
day last after the acquittal of Per-
kins the three met on the street
Perkins Batt and his wife and after
a cordial hand shaking all around ;
they separated. Mr. and Mrs. Batt re- j
turning to their home at Longview !
while probably Perkins remains here.
it is though as the docket for crimi
nal business is nearly possed that no
convictions of felony will be had.
Ground wa3 broken for another
stone business house on Wallace street.
Improvements are going on through-
out the town and county.
The shower of rain a few days ago
will bring out the oats and wheat
already sown. Corn planting is pro-
gressing. The people here would be glad to
get the advantage of the proposed
new projected railroad from Burnet
and Lampasas. The business of the
section would warrant a road coming
here at once. Our county and the.
countxy-trUsitarT-to- ur is 'ifiiiug up
last and there is no doubt but a rail-
road would pay at once. I think land
owners would readily give the right
of way and would help a good com-
pany to build a railroad in every wav
they could. AVe need a road from the
capital in fact it is one of the great
necessities. It is to be seeen how
long the people of Austin will remain
idle upon this subject when their
prosperity so nuch depends upon
speedy action. Let The Statesman
take hold of this matter and promote
an enterprise which will be a general
benefit to all the people.
Killed by Exposure.
Geo. W. Davif one of the old set-
tlers of this vicinity came to Austin
last Thursday and spent the most of
the afternoon and the night until
about 11 o'clock when he started for
his residence five miles north of this
city. He had been drinking some
while in Austin and was slightly in-
toxicated when he left for his home.
This was the last that was seen of him
alive. Friday the members of the
family began to grow uneasy at his
failure to return and Saturday they
became alarmed and
INSTITUTED SEARCH
but their efforts failed to obtain any
trace of him. The search continued
throughout Sunday but all that could
be learned was that he left Austin
Thursday night between ten and elev-
en o'clock. The whole country was
-lousedover the matter and still no
trace of the old gentleman could be
gained until yesterday. Mr. M. Manu-
son who leases the farm just west of
the lunatic asylum was stepping off a
field preparatory to planting corn
when he discovered the old gentle-
man's body
LYING UNDER A TREE.
about twenty steps from the west
fence of the asylum. His friends
were notified and they in turn notified
justice of the peace Von Rosenburg
who summoned a jury and proceeded
to investigate the case. The body
was carefully examined but no marks
were found nor anything indicative of
Violence having been used upon him.
There were impressions in the soft
earth where he had sat when the
earth was wet and not far from
where his body was found there were
other indications of his having moved
about while it was raining. It was
plain
TIE CAME TO HIS DEATn
from about this state of facts: Be
left Austin just about long enough
before the heavy rain began Friday
morning to have reached the point
where he was found. When it began
to rain he sought the shelter of the
trees under which his body lay and
being somewhat under the influ-
ence of intoxicants and being old and
teeble was unable to get up again and
died from sheer exposure. Such was
the verdict of the coroner's jury. It
is a remarkable circumstance worthy
of mention in this connection that
his son
BLACK DAVIS
was killed just three years ago the
28th of thi3 month not 600 yards from
the same spot where the body of the
father was discovered yesterday. The
son was killed by some mysterious
enemy and when his remains were
found the skull was broken in. Noth-
ing upon the person of the old gentle-
man had been disturbed; everything
was in his pockets just as he had left
them. Notwithstanding all this there
are not a few who surmise the old
gentleman was foully dealt with.
Some think
Hi; WAS SAND BAGGED
and then chloroformed in which case
no marks would be discoverable.
There is nothing but the coincidence
between his own and his son's death
upon which to found such a theory.
Geo. W. Davis was one of the old
Texans and quite highly respected
and has a large circle of friends who
will be pained to learn of his sad fate.
The funeral will take place to-day
at 4 o'clock p. m. from the family
residence five iniles north of Austin
and will no doubt be largely at-
tended. The Austin Athletic Association.
