The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-09-02

THE Leader, protective tariff but states
rights paper, is hardly Democratic; the
Register, we believe, is an adherent of
Grant, and an organ Of the Radical consol-
idationists, and of the protectionists, and
of course is not Democratic. Hard money
is no test; sinse, on this issue, both parties
are divided. These facts in reference to
these newspapers are conceded; but the
STATESMAN expounds states'rights and free
trade, and concurs with the Western De-
mocracy in all things. Two papers in Texas.
when on other issues they have collided
with the STATESMAN, have said the STATES
MAN was not Democratic. OF course these
publications, since they are incapable of
wilful misrepresentation, can have no proper
conception of the term Democracy. But
recourse to epithets, in intellectual combat,
is confession of defeat, and while the Ledger
is thus employed, in pitiable imitation of
those who should know better, it can
hardly deserve notice. The policy and
creed of the SrArKsNAN are now too well
known to be successfully misrepresented,
and they who attempt it win notoriety
rather than fame or credibility.

Hon. John Ireland is in the city, as we
understand, to manipulate the presidency Of
the convention in behalf of an Eastern man,
so as to give Western Texas stronger claims
to the United States Senatorship. While
we have insisted that he has been an injudi-
cious chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee, no one has ever doubted that
the STATEsMAS has profound respect for the
may peculiar virtues of Judge Ireland, and
there are several gentlemen who have signi-
fed their willingness to represent the state
hood of Texas IN the Federal SS--ate, to
whom Judge Ireland should always be pre-
ferred; and surely there is no just citizen Of
the state who will not confess that Western
Texas is now eatitled to Federal Senator

DON'T no LII.

That hard times are ahead none may
doubt. The bondholders and gold specula-
tors are resolved that the people shall be
yictimized and enslsved, and there is, just
now, no seeming help for it. But when
the pressure Is greatest it becomes us TO De
generous and Just, and to stand by and
help one onother. Men must now and then
fs;l to meet their obligations. Do not, for
tbis. pronounce them thieves. OF denounce
them 20 false TO honor and Truth. This
only harms the creditor by destroying the
capacity OF the debtor 10 help himself. The
debtor is rarely thief till hunted down
remorselessly. He finds that his efforts to do
right and to pay are thwarted, mainly By
the intolerable greed of those to whom be
is indebted, and they pursue him so fero-
ciously that he becomes helpless, losing
both fame and money. Driven to despera-
tion, at last he becomes a robber, and, of.
ten, can hardly be condemned BailifTs
and constables and shysters and cursing
creditors and horrors of court-rooms and
costs, whenever all these have gathered
about a victim of contraction and hard
times, may well drive him to desperation
or insanity. Misfortune becomes a crime
at last, and the great criminals are the self
ish. relentless creditors. In civilized com
munities, when business man fails, Al

cially when military adveuturer, il

spectators shapes the country's financia
fortunes, the creditors meet and eXamin,
the books, accounts, debts and credits o
the bankrupt, and seeing what he has anC
what he can and cannot do, they settl,
with him on the spot. He surrenders wha
he has, is turned loose to go to work again
and in the majority of instances such debt
ors, thus liberated, instructed by the lesson
never fail again. They grow rich and pa!
off at last every liability. Suppose thu
bloodhounds of the law hunt him down anG
he is dragged into court for each debt b,
owes and costs are added to interest ant

THE Giddings Tribune says lit is most
ridiculous thing to see an editor throw off
his coat, like a bruiser, every time he is
differed with by his contemporary. How
ridiculous this really is we may understand
fully, when we reflect that editing news
paper is purely an intellectual pursuit, and
there is possibly no place where we can
werk a bit of muscle in TO advantage, but
every time we do it We bring discredit upon
the profession and contempt upon our
selves" We have been trying to make the
Ners Echo sensible Of that fact for many
weeks, but it is always in such towering
rage that it viii not listen to reason. It
has used most absurd expressions denoting
its sublime courage, and has been often ex-
ceeding savage. All this was very fine and
very funny and very sbsurd. VIII it not
now heed the philosophers Of the Tribune
and of the Telegraph, who deliver the above
lecture on common decency among news
papers.

THE Jimplecute gives list of the papers
that have lived and died In Jefferson, as
follows: -.r.- -..
"Sodo Lake Herald Democrat, Jefferson
Herald, East Texas Gazette, JefersOniGn,
Herald and Gazette Confederate Nesos, Eodn-
gelicaL Register, Bulletin, Companion, Times,
Clarion, Ku-RiuS, Reporter, Home AdOocGte,
Radical, Democrat, Herald, Bulletin, JeffteT-
sOniGn, Star, Epoch, Magnet, Tribune, Lib
eraL. Mail, ReOie1o, Jinaptecute. Leader, and
few Others of minor Importance.
These thirty papers have lost or invested
an average of 10000 each, and yet have
added an infinitely greater SUN total to
property values in Jefferson. The people
were enriched by them, and the poor devils,
who were ridden to death by their friends
"patronizing" the press, were bankrupted,
and the town grew by being pulled, and
was expanded in the worlds eyes into gen.
uine greatness; but failed, ever, to pay the
publishers. The Leader was starving not
long ago, and the Jimplecute, for time,
looked little seedy; but it has grown
fresh and fair of late, and is full in the face
and has "matter" enough and Is viva
cious as in the olden time. We woul9 fain
hope that the people of jefferson, having
been taught wisdom by calamities that have
befallen the place and its newspapers,
will cherish those that SURVIVE. When they
go down Jefferson is undone forever.

A DEGREE of apathy never known before
distinguishes the conduct of the people
North and South. They have gone off now
on false scent, and the love of gold sup
plants love for freedom, and while watch
ing the thieves grasping the whole ceuntry's
wealth, the tyrant grasps the country's lib
critics, and the Republic becomes a despot-
ism. Grants reelection is assured by the
contest about gold, and thissevent is the
enforcement of absolutism and the abso-
lutte degradation of these Southern common
wealths. Let us thrust aside the old and
uplifl new men, and changing issues now
discussed, change the whole aspect of the
country's fortunes.

THE PROGRESS OF THE TRANS
FORMATION.

Southern people will soon begin to study
with keener, because more selfish, interest
the history, facts, conduct and fortunes of
countries governed and populated by mixed
races. We begin to feel, when Grant de-
crees it and our leaders accept the meztizo
platform, and Lamar grows eloquent in com
mendation, and Forrest greets with smiles
and honeyed words the balmy maiden of
sunny Africa who tenders roses to the Con-
federate chieftain-we begin to confess,
in view of these pleasing little incidents,
keen interest in the fortunes of black-and-
tan States Of Central and Southern America.
In their conduct and destiny we may read
our own, and therefore do we contemplate
with degree of satisfaction facts pertain
ing to the assassination of Garcia Moreno,
the Cesar, as significantly designated by the
New York Herald, of South American re-
public. In all the Spanish-Amercan states
we see the rapid advance through various
forms the early ripe and early rotten con-
dition-of politics with the hot-tempered
races. Ecuador was only as rotten as the
rest when Moreno came upon the stage, and
like all Caesars he Immediately purified the
atmosphere in certain respects only to make
it fouler in others. He ruled for fifteen
years, and woIld have ruled for fifty but for
the machete, which proved the only limit
to his term. He organized himself in office
on the ring system; but it was not con-
tractors ring nor an Indian ring. 1t was q
ring more in consonance with Spanish ma
ture-a priestly, Jesuitical ring. He agreed
to give TO the Jesuits the plumber of the
State for their services to HIM in the reten-
ton of power. 1t worked specifically to a
charm, both for him and them; but it filled
the shadow of every wall with vigilant enc
mics, and it sharpened the inevitable knife
of the assassin.
