The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1873-10-30

Mr.. E. SAMSON, of Burnet, chairman of
the County Executive Committee, sends in
his resignation to DR.. Westfali, as he will
not be instrumental in aiding the call for a
new convention in this district. He also
makes fling at the ''wire workers" of
Travis county. We regret to see Mr.. Samp-
son acting in this manner, as we have here
tofore always thought very highly of him as
Democrat and gentleman. We have been
told that when Mr.. Sampson wasat Austin
he stated he would call a convention of
Burnett county as soon as he reached home,
and now we have this i'll advised and i'll
natured note from him to Dr. Westfall.
The men in Travis whom Mr.. Sampson
calls ''wire workers. are the men who, in
despite of the interests of Travis county,
have been laboring to give the frontier
counties a representative of their own
choice, and this is the return they get for
it. The people Of the frontier viii judge
and determine who are the ''wire workers, I"
and whether they live in Travis or Burnett.

No sooner does Governor Davis release
Satanic and Big Tree than the Indians on
our frontier again commence raiding upon
our defenseless people, and rob and murder
under TIE noses of United States troops.
It has become regular business at Fort
Sill to buy horses brought there by the In
dams, which have been stolen by the In
dams from the Texans. There are men
there who buy this stock, knowing it to be
stolen. The officers, like their illustrious
comrade, Turchine, ''shut their eyes for
two hours, {" and these parties drive their
purchased plumber off to Kansas.
We call the attention of the War Depart
ment to this matter. The people of Texas
want to know if the troops are at Fort Sill
to protect our people, keep the Indians on
their reservations, or arc they there to con-
nive at the robbery of our frontier people
by the Indians and the subsequent purchase
of stolen goods by the swarm of spectators
who infest Fort Sill? We hope the frontier

q week sgo, had extended 10 all the
phosphate mills dn AShley River The
handlin the EtWsE and Paoif1G mills
struck frst. and, subsequently, forced
the hands IL the atlantic mills 10 s;rihe.
On Friday these hands, vari6usly armed
aud equipped, proceeded to the Stono
Phosphate Works to compel strike
among The laborers there. The supcrin-
tendent, however, informed them that
they could not come on tho premises,
and after nttering the usual threats they
left. On Saturday morning they posted
themselves on the road leading to the
mills. and when the mill hands came
along in wagon on their way to work,
the strikers stopped them and forced
them to join the crowd. The wagons
were allowed to go on to the mills with
out the laborers. On Friday night
several negro laborers were beaten by
the strikers, outside the city limits.
The strikers did not interfere with the
white hands at work at tho mills. All
the mills were closed on Saturday, and
will probably be closed for some time to
come. The owners have positively re-
fused to give the advanced wages de.
manded by the strikers, and will deter
mine, at a consultation to be held at an
early day, whether they will close the
mills, or demand the protection Of the
United States forces. They can easily
get the hands to work Mt the old rates,
provided they are protected against the
violence OF the mob. In tho city all the
phosphate, rice and saw mills we're
closed on Saturday, but it is rumored
that they will begin work this morning,
the old laborcrs having siguified their
desire to return to work ut tue old
wages and their intention to protect
themselves against violence. The

Railroad. where n number Of colored
lnborers ure employed, but so fur there

DROWNING THE GIRL BABIES IN CHINA.
The ''cry Of the children" of tho female
gender in China must be voiciferous,
indeed, if, as says the Chinese Progin-
ciul Treasurer Of Hupel, their parents
drown them at the rate OF eighty per
cent. This parsonage has issued m
edict to his people. forbidding this
method OF thinning out the female pop.
ulation, and plies them with various ar.
guments and threats to induce them to
desist from the inhuman practice.
Among other convicting appeals he re-
marks that the children can be sent to a
founding Hospital; that they will find
husbands if allowed to live. He also
threatens them with the vengeance OF
Heaven. and finally with punishment
for wilful murder.
