THE RIFLEMEN,
Their DOings Yesterday-Meeting Of Irish
Citizens.

The rife teams yesterday visited the differ
ent points of interest about the city, under an
escort of number of the members of the re-
ception committee. The public buildings were
all visited, and long and pleasant ride was
taken through the streets of the citV. After
dinner the party drove to the Soldiers Home.
In the evening they were handsomely enter
ia ned at the schuetzen park by the members
of the Washington Schuetzen Yerein. The
guests remained at the park until quite late
in the evening, and the hospitalities of the
Verein were dispensed with a free hand. To-
day the match over the 900. yard range will
be shot, and it is expected to be very inter-
esting contest.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-06-08

THE most enduring of all dominions
among men is that of the pen. They who
WELD it dm9 most wisely and be hSRssty % live
Statesmen, warriors, orators, judges, inven-
tors, we are told, cross the stage of life,
but the great writers remain upon it. The
influence of Homer, Thucydides or a
Bacon is not only untouched, but extended
by time. Countless generations will feel
it as past generations have felt it, and as
we feel it to-day. These are the fixed stars
OF human history; they shine with the pure
luster of thought; their constellation never
sets; whatever Is most abiding in the titful
destiny of man abides in them. If jour
nalists everywhere comprehended the dig
nifty of the profession, or were worthy OF
it, they would never descend to petty de-
vices of fraud to wrong rivals or eviHce un
wonted sensitiveness when assailed. Criti
cism or condemnation most enrages those
most unfit for places they fill, or for tasks
they have assumed and cannot worthily
discharge, and he who sspires to the high
est place in the profession can never reacf
it if he can be injured by the jealousy o.
unjust assaults of incapable rivals. Their
can be, therefore, no possible justification
for unseemly diatribes directed by ont
against another journalist, and he who Ii
addicted to their perpetration eonfesses b!
the fact that hate is born of incapable jeal

conspicuously in open wagons about the
city's streets and go through the forms of
driving stakes in out of the way places in
the suburbs. The narrow gauge scheme
was proposed to be killed that the Round
Rock speculation might be consummated
and Austin forced to pay the builders and
owners of 9 road built by Texas the goodly
sum of perhaps $3.50, 900. The, narrow
gauge was ~scotched if not killed, and no
further pretense Of any purpose to extend
the International will be presented until the
Legislature il asked to extend its coRces-
sions and Austin Is sought to be conciliated
and the Lampasas narrow gauge destroyed.
With such an enemy to obstruct progress,
it is hardly possible for the people
of Austin to accomplish the trihlng task of
building twenty miles Of road even on the
easy terms proposed by the corporators of
the company. The International, next after
Tom Scott's, Is the most richly endowed of
all Texas corporations; its towns and lands
are exempt from taxation; its domain is
magnificent; its road imperial and of
boundless benefcence to Texas and the
South but Its schemes of petty selfishness
and speculation should be thwarted, and
ITS conduct conformed to that of the gener-
Gus commonwealth which created and en-
dowed it with its magnificent domain.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-06-08

THERE is but one mode. of giving perms-
nent peace and prosperity to Austin. 1t
will be found not in shot and shell, or in
annexation. This brings more stufing for
over-plethoric ballot boxes, and of the
brutalizing results of war to Americans
and Mexicans we have seen enough. No
boundless territory acquired, or glory won
by the few that the many may be slaugh-
tered or corrupted, can compensate for in
calculable evils OF Mexican annexation. 1t
Is only needful to extend the International
across the Rio Grande. The locomotive
alone can proclaim fual peace, and steel
rails give absolute unity to the realms Of
Lerdo. The riches supplied to this coun-
try would be incalculable. While Cuba is
dying, Mexico would be revivitied, and the
cost Of sugar and coffee and of tropical
products lessened, perhaps, one-half. 1t is
to the attainment of these grand results
that the managers of the International
road should address themselves. But, is it
not pitifGIl This mighty corporation,
made richer by Texas thar any endowed by
an American State, absolutely goes about
over Texas, using the power for good given
it by Texas to levy little sums of black
mail upon Texas towns and villages.
