Crime In Austria.

The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Standard writes TO that journal:
For years Vienna has not been the scene
Of such a horrible crime as was com
mittsd last Sunday. A Czech tailor
almost all the Vienna tailors are
Czechs), who had fallen into pecuniary
difficulties, owing to the dissipated life
be led, sent his wife out of the house,
bolted the door, and while playing with
bis FIVE children, the youngest Of whom
is eight months old, enticed them into a
dark room. There he strangled them
and hung them upon nails, and when all
we're thus disposed Of the wretched man
hanged himself. The nail on which his
eldest son hung fortunately gave way a
little, go that his toes just touched a
little box, and this saved him; but the
other children and the father we're all
found dead. The criminal had twenty
children, eight of whom we're by his
present wife, but only these FIVE were
living, the other fifteen having been dead
for some time. Unfortunately, this is
not the only tragedy at present in
Vienna. A high official in the ministry
Of war and the secretary Of a railway
company have shot themselves, the lat
ter during the sitting Of the board when
be saw that his defalcations must be dis.
covered. In Pesth the director Of the
credit association for officials Of the
State has poisoned himself after having
entirely ruined the society. The direc-
tors Of an insurance company, also in
Pesth. among them Baron Hirsthield, a
Prussian, and Count Nicolaus Bethlan,
have been imprisoned for numerous
frauds. The President, Count Bathyanyi,
and another director, Count Sommariva,
appear to be innocent Of all participa-
ton in his dishonesty, as their evidence
was taken and they we're not imprisoned
That they should rem3in free merely be-
cause they are magnates seems teo i'm
probable to be believed. The Hungarian
official gazette, the Coszlenyi, publishes
almost daily the bankruptcy Of one of
the aristocracy or a warrant against
some criminal in high life,

In Smiths Wonders we read that
none Of the curiosities in Germany are
more surprising than the Lake Circnitz,
in Ca~rniola, and the method Of tskingits
fish. The lake is four or Eve miles long
and two miles broad. The most wonder
full circumstances is its ebbing and Cow
ing in June and September, when it runs
of through eighteen holes, which form
as many eddies or w~hirlpools. Nslvasor
mentions q singular mode Of fishing in
those holes, and says that when the wa
ter is entirely run of into su%bterraneous
reservoirs, the peasants ventures with q
light into the cavity, which runs into a
hard rock three or four fathoms under
ground 10 a solid bottom, whence the
water running in through small holes, as
through a sieve, the fish are left behind
and caught, 81 it were, in q net provided
by nature. 90 the first appearance Of
its ebbing, a bell is rung at Circniiz, on
which all the peasants in the neighbor-
ing villages prepare for fishing in these
ebbings. An incredible number OF pike,
trout, cells, teneh, perch, ETC., are thus
caught. One Of the common practices,
as mentioned by one old writer, is 10
place a board painted white along the
edge Of the boat, which, rejecting the
moons rays into the water, induces the

be a moving sheet Of water, when they
fall into the boat.

it will soon be changed to quarto form,
that is, eight pages instead Of four.
While both papers had large means it
was understood that they had been doing
a losing business for some time. They
had fought each other as brothers only
can, but the pocket nerve was afflicted
and they shook hands across the counter
and pledged their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred g~reenbacks to make it
pay better in future. The new proprie-
tors, or rather the old proprietors of the
new concern, declare that they will ad'

present, the means Of attaining the best
and highest forms of self-government,
and that it will be true to the party

OLD TEXANS.

On Thursday, two of the oldest Texans
now living, met in the STATESMAN office,
having both called to renew their subscrip-
tions to the paper. One of these gentle
men, Mr.. James Farmer, who now resides
in Comanche county, was born in North
Carolina in 1896, and is in his eishtieth
year. He came to Texas in 1880, and, after
moving around for one or two years, settled
In Washington county, where he lived for
twenty-six years. He then became tired of
the tame walks of civilization and again
sought the wilds of the distant frontier,
settling in what is now known as Comanche
county. The old gentleman served in the
Texas struggle for independence, was q
participator in the battle of SaH Jacinto,
and has had many bout with the red man.
He had quite a. family of children, all of
whom have passed away but one. The old
stock remains, and though seventy mine
winters have draped the old mans crown
with silver threads, he is yet active and
buoyant, and reads every line of the
STATESMAN from week to week.
The other subject of this article
is Mr.. Jesse Robinson, now of Echo,
Live Oak county. He was born in
the year 1900, came to Texas in 1922,
and settled on the lower Colorado. The
following year he had his first experience
in fighting Indians, which was followed
long thereafter as a sort of recreation or
pastime. He also belonged to the Texas
revolutionary army. He has made his
home, like Mr.. Farmer, further west rs i'm
migration has changed the condition of
the interior, and though now seventy-fve
years of age, he bids fair to last good
time yet The old gentlemen are speci-
mems of hardy race fast passing away. 1t
is a pleasure to meet and converse with
them, and to note the points in their lives,
and it is also source of great gratifcation
to know that very large number of these
old Texans are constant readers and fast
friends OF the STATESMAN.

GOVERNOR COKE AND THE PRESE-
DENCY.


The Democratic party of California in
side of California, is no longer Democratic.
1t has separated definitely State from Fed
ersl politics. In the State platform lately
adopted there is no,hlng said about De-
mocracy or Radicalism but only local ques-
tions-railway robberies and corporation
reform--are talked about. OF this reform
movement Senator Booth is the great ex-
ponent, and of all men west of the Rocky
Mountains, Booth stands foremost as a
candidate for the presidency. If the broad,
deep difference between the hard money east
ern Democracy and those whose prophet and
priest is Peadleton or Hendricks, or Jolly
Blllallen, may not be bridged, Booth may
be the nominee of the Democratic presiden-
tial convention of next year. The only
danger Booth contemplates is involved In
the fact that Governor Coke may write an
other dignlfed, tasteful, logical statesman
like letter declaring newspaper Radical
because it criticised his financial policy.
In such event Coke would become invalua-
BILE fuel and be used 20 propel the engine of
Democracy over the presidential broad
gauge railway track in 1876. 1t looks
probable and remember the STATESMAN is
first to dream of it.

IRELAND WON'T REST.

We hope that secretaries of conventions
will report facts and incidents plainly and
clearly. We published the proceedings of
the Luling convention as reported-we
thought ''officially"-from the Free Press
From this it appeared that Ireland's name
gentleman from Luling stated here that it
was balloted for ten or eleven times. For
all that we are still told that the Judge was
not candidate, and yet the STATESMAN has
said again and again that Judge Ireland
should be member of the constitutional
convention and that the people should send
him as a constitution-maker to Austin.
Why did not the Judge, before the conven-
ton met, even while the STATESMAN was
urging his elevation, say in the Organ, here
or at Houston, that he was not candidate.
Ten lines, published at the proper time,
would have spared the Judge and his
friends all this discussion and the trouble
of having certificates published, and his
friends would have been spared the humilia-
ton of having him voted down at Luling. A
newspaper letter-writer now states that
Judge Ireland's name was used against his
wishes, as announced in speech made
somewhere in his district. This we will
confess, for the sake of argument, and we
do not care to insist that the Judge has lost
prestige or honor because his name was be-
fore the Luling convention. He has served
his purpose and by his conduct enabled us
to excite a vast deal of interest in the ap-
preaching elections. Had it not been for
Ireland and his peculiar character and dom
ineering spirit, there could have occurred
none of this discussion of the merits of men
and measures, which will invoke, when en-
suing elections occur, the earnest action of
the great mass of the voting population Of
Texas. The people really owe Ireland
thanks for his DEGREES and orders and vio-
lent exertion of the one-man power, and
with this apprehension of the facts we have
said that the Judge should rest for a time
on his laurels. We only insist that he did
not win laurels to any alarming extent at
| Luling.

Either we do not know in what DemOc-
racy consists, or Charles O'Conor Is the
t-uest of Democrats. lie has just written
brochure OF this subject which supposed
leaders of parties IN Texas should read as
it appears in the New York World. The
first proposition of Mr.. O'Conor is that
government should be unseen and unfelt,
as far as may be. 1t should be intrusted
with the least possible power, and obliged
to perform the fewest possible duties. All
taxation should he direct. Trade should
be absolutely free. The custom houses
should he sold and their proceeds used to
pay off the national debt. No further debt
should be created in any shape or form.
The only income should be from taxes.
Government should have nothing to do
with money beyond stamping upon specie
the signs of the value of each particular
coin. General laws should be passed for
all business matters; for the formation of
private and public corporations, etc., and
there should be no private legislation what
ever. We should have no armies, navies,
forts, ,arsenals, military schools, etc. Our
diplomatic corps should be abolished. Vot-
ing should be CirG o0ce, not by ballot. Mi
nority representations should not exist.
There should be no laws regulating the hours
of labor and no public schools. Only few
officers should be elected, "say the Chief
Executive and the Legislature" Their
terms should be short. Appointed officials
should be removed only for fault or inca
pacItY. "Faithful service and proved Ca
pacity are singular grounds for disqualii-
cation" A military commander should be
ineligible to the Presidency until after a
long interval. IN densely peopled districts,
registry laws should be in force. No per-
son receiving pay from the public should
be allowed to vote. The crime of assessing
oficeholders to pay the expenses of polit-
ical campaigns should be severely pun
ished. But the terms local independence
involve each characteristic incident of De-
mocracy as asserted by Charles O'Conor,
and we only reproduce his dict0 because he
is the straIghtest of his sect, and of the
Newspaper press of Texas there is no organ
of opinion which more accurately repre-
sents O'Conor, than the STATESMAN.

WORDs ARE THINGS.


Secession was TO great crime in the early
years of the Union. 1t was commonly be-
lieved, says Mr.. Weld, whose letters are re-
produced in APpletons'. Journal, that the
Federation would be dissolved whenever
the seat of government was transferred to
the Federal City" At that time, and for
years after the White House was built, it
was called the Federal City," and not
Washington, and the term National as
applied to the whole number of States was
unknown, and is now properly inapplicable
to the relations of the States to one another
and to the Federation" But the use of
the word ''natien" has become customary.
Most books are written and most newspa-
pers published by those whose purpose it
was to consolidate the government, and peo-
pile are educated and their ideas perverted
by words rather than by philosophy or
facts and this word ''nation" has been the
basis of the Northern conception of the re-
ations of the States to one another. The
South finally accepts the word and the idea
slowly follows and State integrity is ami
hilated by term in politics.
