termination to vote for the Wing candidate

he had to do was to throw out an intimation
that he intended to vote for Wig Speak

his vote. Mark what we now say: Judge

CRY OF AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 5, 1889.


Thus far there has been but little business
by our Congress. of any specia
Importance to our friends abroad. A bill
has been introduced for the erection Of a
penitentiary at this city. 1t has passed the
Senate, and hopes are entertained of its sue
cess in the House of Representatives.
At an early period Of the session, DR..
Francis Moore, Jr the able and indepen-
dent editor of the Texas Telegraph,) intro
duced INTO the Senate bill, to impose tax
of one thousand dollars on every person re-
failing intoxicating liquors. in less quanti-
ties than quart. This bill is now in pro-
gress in the House, and will, it is thought,
with some notifications, become law
Its object is to annihilate the smaller class oil
drunkeries, and is, of course praiseworthy
On this, as on all subjects where moral
principle is involved, halfway ground will
not do; the axe must he laid at the root Of The
evil, in order successfully to effect its tho
rough eradication.
For several days past, the House Of Rep
resentatives have been occupied IN warn
and animated discussion Of the question q
the removal. Of the seat Of government from
Austin. 1t was finally decided, BY vote O
81 to Is, that it should remain at Austin
In all probability, this question will neve
again be agitated, and Austin will continu

Mr.. BroUn-As the Legislature Of this
State will meet on Monday next, it may not
be improper to offer few remarks, by way
Of speculation, upon the probable results of
the labors of that body. What will be the
course adopted towards the Banksa is
question that meets you at every turning
Of the street; and the little junto of polit |
cians-or rather the junto Of little polit-
cians-have vainly cndeavored to pry into
this mystery, which the future alone can
unfold, until in despair they have yielded
the question, determined to let time and cir
cumstance control any action which may
be deemed advisable upon this all absorb
ing and momentuous subject. Will the
Banks be required TO resume, and continue
the payment Of specie upon their liabilities?
Will the legislature interpose its authority
to prevent the issuance Of Post hottest
These are important inquiries, and deserve
the utmost caution in their decision. But,
we may confidently anticipate from the com
plexion of the two houses, that they will
not leave leave the currency in worse
condition than they find it now; but that SO
far from acting with much precipitancy,
they will in all their deliberations pursue
that line of conduct which justice and the
good of the country require.

present Post note system. l thought it a
dangerous policy when first proposed, and
