1t appears, says the Amcy'ican that the man
entered tho monument at about 10 O'Clock in
the morning, paying the usual admission fec.
He Wac alone, and appeared cheerful. His at
tire indicated that he was poor, his coat and
trousers being gu to shabby. A few minutes
after lie ascondecr the stairs two other men
came in and likewise proceeded up to
the top. While up there, they must
have met tho man in question, aud being
talkatiye, he began conversation with the two
persons who came up later After staying about
twenty minutes on the top OF the monument the
three men descended together. When below,
the individual, who came to his death few hours
thereafter was rather loquacious, talking all the
time speaking of places lac had visited, the height
and grandeur OF monuments III other clties.
At l.3O ia the afternoon the man returned paid
his admission Zee, appeared +, as cheerful tenn
per as before, and once more assembled the
stairs, Later lady aud gentleman aSeended
the monument, when they behold the body and
informed tae Keeper WHO summoned the coroner.
III ono pocket of the deceased was found let
ter, which showed the mental torment of the
deceased aud describing his disappointment at
his inability to obtain work. Fur
Further ON he wrote ] havo been in Baltimore

TEEK OLD sTORK INA SEW SHAPE
mASONS AND MORGAN.

Thurlow Weed, who was an active pali-
tician in Western New York in 1927, and
at that tine an Inti-Mascn, now that all
persons Directly INTERESTED in the matter are
dead, tells all he knows of the abduction
aud death ef William Morgan, who under
took, it vas alleged, to divulge the secrets
a .-Aso4y. Mr.. Weed does not hesitate
To say that NOR was taken across to Can
& md confined there for some time in q
cas0mate in Fort Niagara, and when the
Canadian Masons refused to have aught to
do with Morgan's transfer to an Indian
tribe, in which there were many Masons,
five excellent citizens of New York took
Morgan in boat out into Lake Ontario
and there drowned him. Nearly twelve
months afterward the body was washed
ashore and the clothing, buttons, ETC., were
identified by Morgan's widow and others.
Mr.. Weed says that the murderers of Nor
gan were esteemed excellent gentlemen in
social and public life, and acted in this
matter without authority or instruc-
knowledge of any body of Nasons. We
suppose that Mr.. Weeds testimony on this
subject, when there can be no reason i'm
pelling him to misrepresent the facts, will
now be accepted as final, and We will be
spared the necessity of publishing, each
year or two. the same old canard, that
Morgan, who sought to betray the Mas
ons, was seen few months ago in Australia
or Hiudoostan." We have certainly heard
enough of that. 1t is also true that when
this abduction and murder was done there
was deal of absurd hostility to masonry,
certainly the most harmless, il not the most
benefcent of human institutions, and
Morgan's abductors were only over Jealous
and driven into an act of criminal folly by
the absurd and needless partisan animosity
to which they themselves were exposed.
Morgan must have been great knave OF
stupendous fool or both

WHEN an editor makes bold assertions
and produces no proofs, and, as in the case
before US, can advance none, and then
shows that he is angry or has been foiled OF
some purpose, we attach not the slightest
importance to his defamation. The Hemp
stead Messenger thus assaults the STATES
MAN and the Telegraph quotes the empty
balderdash, and then the Guadalupe Times,
sitting at the feet of Gsmaliel, empties a
column of nonsense upon the devoted
STATEsMAN-af free trade, States nights. local
freedom Bill sometimes called Blal-
len for short-newspaper. We don't OBJ
ject. The Times is good advertising
agent of ours, and as an evidence of our APP
probation of the kindness done when it abb
surdly asserts our Radicalism, We honestly
tell Of its honest worth in another place.
The Times presupposes the illimitable ignor-
ance of its readers when 1t talks about the
sTArEsxAS's treason to Democracy.

The drought from which many portions
Of Texas have suffered is strifiing calamity
contrasted with those thLt have recently be-
fallen populations of othc- portions Of the
globe. The last two Gyeshs have ben
full of terrible incidents whose narrowing
details stagger credrlify OF shock the sensi-
hilities of him who reads of the terrible earth
quake in Equatorial Amenca; the great vol
canic eruption in Iceland, by winch more
than three thousand square miles of fertile
land have BEEN utterly smothered in stones
and ashes; the destructive deiuges in
Southern France; the still mere destructive
foundations in Hungary, By which men and
women, houses and cattle, vineyards and
corn fields, have been swept away in ruin /;
the extraordinary hailstorm in Geneva, so
graphically described in Mr.. T. A. Trollope's
letter TO the New York Tribune; the floods
which have burst over almost every part OF
America itself; all these are disasters, com
pared with which our hot and rainless sum
mer must sink into insignifcance. England
itself has suffered greatly from sthe over
flowing Of its inland rivers; its hay crop
has been ruined, and the heavy storms OF
thunder, rain and hail have seriously in
jured the prospects of the grain harvest. Nor
is this all. The late terrible famine in Hin
dostan has been transferred in deadly form
to the countries in the interior of Asia
Minor; rumors of the plague come omin-
ously to Europe from Arabia and North
Africa, and fatal cholera seems pretty
surely to have fastened itself upon even
30 comparatively near a Deighbor as
Berlin. Under these circumstances, it is
hardly becoming in us, whose share in these
tremendous physical calamities have been,
after all, so slight and trivial, to talk of ouI
present drought as a disaster. A survey of
the condition of the rest of the world will
show that we have been singularly exempt
from even the slightest participation in the
most widespread network of suffering and
calamity which it has ever been our duty,
aspublicj journalists, to record.
: There are indications, however, that the
eS4loiS Va thC year AAfc NOT tnueu. 1bere
are stories that come from cities along the
Gulf coast indicative of a repetition of
woes that befell cities of the Valley of the
Mississippi in the summer and autumn of
1873. The telegraph hardly tells all the
facts, and each city conceals disastrous facts
as long as possible. But their Inhabitants
come hither to find abiding places above
the lower strata of atmosphere, in which
fell destroyers of our race drift about as
invisible, intangible sporules. If the plague
should invade Austin the reason will be
found in the want of water to cleanse the
sinks and sewers in the rear of hotels and
stores and Boarding places along the more
densely populated thoroughfares; but on
the lofty hills of the suburbs, or on the
heights of Mount Bonnell, deadly conta-
gions can never destroy our race or invest
our lives with terror.

RARE CONSTITUENCY.

In Fayette-Bastrop district we are look
ing for the election of that sterling patriot,
Joel W. Robinson, and Messrs. Chunn and
, Bryce, Independents. The latter are both
Democrats and men of high character"
State Gazette.
Commenting on the above the Fayette
Record says:
Yes, and you will look in vain for your
independents, as well as for your chicken
pie. The people of this county and dis
trict did not agree with you as to the men
who should represent them in the conven-
ton. AS you will see by the election re-
turns old Fayette has .electe, those sterling
patriots, Robson, Moore and Erhard. We
are proud of them, and think but little of
a paper, calling itself Democratic organ,
which will attempt to bolster up indepen-
dents, or, as we call them, disorganizers.
The Gazette has read the STATESMAN out of
the party because it was in favor of no
county conventions, and now turns around
to praise those who acted upon that doc
trne. 1t is well that Bro. Elliott showed
his hand, and displayed by this remark his
antipathy to Capt. Moore. The Captain
especially did not expect anything else
at the hands of a man who stands in
our ranks for the purpose of heaping
abuse upon those who do not bow to his
command, or who he thinks will not give
him place and money out of the public crib.
We are glad we had the Gdzette's views ere
it had the election returns from our district.
He had heard of the negro vote of Bastrop,
but did not wait to hear from the white peo-
pie of old Fayette. Farewell to your hopes,
Col. Elliott, and on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER you will see this district truly repre-
sented in Austin by those able, gallant men,
Robinson, Moore and Erhard.''
And we expect from these aud other ad-
vantages over all other papers to he chosen
to report and publish the proceedings of
the constitutional convention.-StateG Ga
zette. ID.
Upon this the Record remarks: "Put
this and that together, and the superior ad-
vantages of Col. Elliott as Democrat will
not be SO obvious. In the hour of our su-
preme struggle against Radicalism he IN
dorses Bryce and Chunn, who ran indepen-
dent under the leadership of Robert Zapp,
sterling Democrat" The Democracy
of this county, until now, have regarded
Col. Elliott AS the staunchest Democratic
editor at the Capitol, bnt his Endorsement
of Chunn and Bryce shelves him so far as
the Democracy here are concerned. Capt.
Moore carried this county by over six hun
dred majority and brought old Fayette from
her recent defeats to this splendid victory.
Hurrah for old Fayette - the Gazette maa
to the contrary"

IT is not the men who have farms and
families who get into jails or shoot people
or disturb public peace. Therefore legis-
lation should proffer premiums for MARI
ages, and therefore the homes of married
people of limited value should be exemp-
ted from execution, and then they will not
be credited because they have homes, but
only to the extent that people have conf
dence in their integrity, and thus a premi-
UNI is proffered TO honesty, and honest
children will be reared. Litigation should
be repressed, and then there will be less
perjury and more industry. But, just now
the state most needs the promotion of mar
rage, its protection, and the organization
of families in substitution for bawds' and
bachelors' dens.

THE Houston Age and Dallas Herald, and
many other organs of opinion, favor the
imposition of poll tax, and its payment as
condition precedent to voting. In rich
corporations this will give no security to
taxpayers. Thieves and Adventures will
raise a fund to buy certificates of payment
of the poll tax, and march, a hideous army,
to the polls to strike down decency and
honesty. And then the rascals elected will
steal the more ferociously to recover sums
invested il poll-tax certificates. Newould
save towns and counties from robbers, and
it can only be effected, as the Federal Con.
stitution now shapes our fortunes, by abso-
lutely excluding incapable suffrage, in local
elections, from the ballot box. Texas, for
years to come, growing as no State has ever
grown, will be especially cursed by the
floating rab5le from older States, and our
lawmakers will be false to themselves, to
their oaths of Office and duty to the people
if the evil contemplated be not provided
against.
