cause of the party and its
moral standard in the South that, as
was we'll known, he had not been able
to endorse much that had been done
by the party, but nevertheless he had
been a Republican and had voted with
the Republicans all the time, and that
he supported Greeley because he be-
lieved he had done as much for the
party as any man outside of the armies
of the wsr. He thought reform was
absolutely necessary, and that Repub-
lIcans, and not Democrats, would re-
form the country.
Gen. Talbot, of Williamson, fol-
lowed Governor Pease. He said the
fact had somehow been overlooked
that 500, 900 Southern men fought on
the side of the Union during the war,
aud that the South had both saved the
government and elected Hayes. He
dwelt on this point, which was sup
port to what Others had said regarding
fair distribution of offices by Presi.

acted as secretary, then took the floor.
He labored long and hard and fire.
quently about the unprotected blacks,
and came down heavy on several Off
GERS for derelictions in duty, and men
toned the names of Judge Morrill, and
District Attorney Baldwin, of the
Eastern District of Texas. Quincy
made some pretty goods points, but
he repeated SO much and dwelt so long
that what he said lost part of its force.
After he closed, the meeting adjourned
till O'Clock.
The afternoon session was confined to
debate about what was to be done fer
the interests of the Republican party in
Texas. Some wanted clubs formed in
every county in the State; Others
thought liberal subscriptions to the
New York Times would be the best,
Gen. Byrne, DR.. Cochran, A. J. Evans,
Right Quincy, Governor Davis, Col.
DeGress, Judge Schutze, Ridge Pas
chal, Mr.. Hackworth, Gen. Talbot and
two or three others participating. A
great deal was said, and the following
resolution was passed, as also one re-
commencing that Republican clubs in
every county in the State:
Be it ResolUed, By the Republicans of
Texas, ia convention assembled, that
ia the event Rutherford B. Hayes be
declared President, the chairman of
our State executive committee be in
structed to confer with him and urge
upon him that the Republicans of the
South shall be recognized in the ap-
pointments, domestic and foreign.
After the adjournment sine die Of
the meeting, document was signed
by number OF those present, endors-
ing E. j. Davis as the recognized
leader of the party in this State and
deserving of public and substantial
recognition.

For the las six weeks Tweed seems
to have completely sunk into oblivion.
He refuses to be seen by the newspaper
reporters, and spends his time as
quietly as possible. He hasn't at
tempted to break Jail again; he hasn't
tried to bribe the warden with mil
lion dollar check; he hasn't democrat.
lied the walters and attendants by
scattering about, with too profuse lib
erality, hundred-dollar bills as dou-
eeurs; he hasn't even laid in a heavy
stock of Johsnnisbeger, Tokay, truf-
fles, pheasants and ortolans, but he has
led his old, hum-drum life, with only
this difference, that just as public in
terest in him has abated, SO the num-
Der of curious visitors and the ava
lanche Of idle and Fostering let
tiers has diminished. Being still
weak, be feels hut little inclination
to take exercise in the yard, and sell

but at the same time the ample out
lines of his portly form are in nowise
contracted. HIS con, General f"
Tweed, Foster Dewey now come less
frequently than formerly, and Mr..
DeTlin and his other friends also do
not "drop in" quite so often. Mrs.
Tweed, the prisoners wife, and his
daughter, have only been at the Jail
twice, when they spent the whole af-
ternoon with him. Mrs. Tweed came
deeply yelled, and was evidently loath
to be recognized. Sand how does he
amuse himself all day long I" asked a
reporter of the jailor. ''Well," re-
piled that funetionarY, che reads all
the daily papers. both morning and
evening, and If you'd read all the pa
pers, advertisements and all, you'd
have just about enough to do, too.
Then he reads light literature, too.

IT WAS limited about Saturday that
Judge Schutze would address the col
ored people that night at the foot OF
East Pecan street. At the appointed
hour STATESMAN reporter was prompt
ly at the place and anxiously awaited
the gathering of the people. About
s o'clock they began to arrive by the
0001, and at half-past s vast multi
tude of nine persons had assembled.
At this time the Judge, accompanied
by friend, appeared and, conversing
awhile with the leading men of the
immense crowd, rose and, supporting
the left part of his coat-tail with his
hand, addressed the mighty assembly
of nine men: "My friends, we are
somewhat like the Lord Jesus, few bat
of many minds sensation among the vast
multitude. The Lord Jesus, as you
all know, was opposed to local op-
ton. He turned pure water into
wine at the marriage feast and said,
drink and be merry and if the
preachers, care not who they are, say
he did not, they are not preachers, but
political stump speakers. Here an
intoxicated man got up and frantically
exclaimed he was from Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden, and that re was now
in the United States, and these people
wanted to take his rights away. He
was quoted, and the judge proceeded
with his eloquent discourse. This To-
cal option law takes your rights away.
Our women cannot marry. You can
not give whisky away Applause by the
man from Denmark, and the whole
thing was got up by men who burnt
witches. Yes, sirl burnt witches.

THE PEOPLE WANT PROOF. - There
is no medicine prescribed by physi-
clans, or sold by druggists, that carries
such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as Boschee's German
Syrup for severe coughs, colds settled
on the breast, consumption, or any dis
ease Of the throat or lungs. A proof
of that fact is that any person afflicted
can get sample bottle for ten cents,
and try its superior effect before buying
the regular size at seventy-five cents.
1t has lately been introduced in this
country from Germany, and Its WOE
derful cures are astonishing everyone
that use it. Three doses will relieve
any case. Try it. Sold by Morley

AT HIPS schoolhouse, near Manor,
last Tuesday night, an organization of
colored people was made who are OPP
posed to the local option law. The
meeting was called by Moses Brooks,
and was organized by the appointment
OF Napoleon Daniel president, and A.
w. Walker secretary. Col. Craft,
Moses Brooks, w. Washington and
Mack Darlington being present, ad-
dressed the meeting in very forcible
manner. A permanent COMMITTEES was
appointed for the canvass, which are
to meet every Friday night, as follows
N. Daniel, A. w. Walker. Moses
Brooks, James Daniel, Jerry Parson,
Jack McClothen, Alex McCruckln, w.
Henderson, James Houghton, Nathan
Douglass and Joseph Spates.
The above appeared in print Sunday
morning, but not in the STATESMAN.
The meeting took place as reported,
and the speeches were forcible and
convincing; but the whole affair was
in the interest Of local option, and not
in opposition to it.

The True Kennedy.

Editors Democratic Stdtesmdn-License
laws of many different kinds have been
enacted to regulate and, If possible, 70
remove the great evils of intemperance,
but have always and everywhere
proved absolute failures. There is bal
one remedy and that Is prohibition.
The uniform and sccumulative testi'
mony of eminent and reliable witnesses,
wherever prohibition has been en-
forced, is that the law greatly dlmin'
ishes vice, rowdyism and idleness,
while virtue and morality are greatly
promoted.
Rev. David Hawley, City Missionary
of Hartford, Connecticut, said thai
since the prohibitory Law went ints
effect his mission school had increased
more than ene-third in number. Fhc
little children that used to run and
hide from their fathers when the,
came home drunk are now well dressed
and run out TO meet them"
Governor Miller says: 'From m,
own knowledge, and from information
from al parts Of the State, have re-

teachers of ability and large expert
ence. There are seventeen churches in
the city, and greater number of con-
gregations, and churches abound in all
the country around. In Travis and
other counties adjoining there are the
best openings for the establishment Of
fine stock farms. Several are already
in operation, and the proprietors are
highly pleased. Good grass and clear
wster are abundant Unimproved
lands can be secured in Travis county
for from 50 to $40 per acre. Choice
tracts near the city sell much higher.
Improved, average farms, sell for SEQ
to $50 per acre. The soils will pro-
duce fine crops of cotton, corn, wheat,
oats, barley, millet and other grain /;
peaches, apples, grapes and many
other fruits, and all vegetables at all
adapted to Southern climate in excel
lence and abundance. As to health,
it can be said that no section of the
globe can surpass Austin and Travis
county. No malarlal diseases or cpl
denies prevail. Cases of yellow fever
have been brought here and the parties
thus affected have died, but citizens,
even waiting upon these cases, have new
er been in the least indisposed in conse-
quence, and it is asserted that Austin
is above the malarial district, and that
yellow fever cannot exist here. Chol.
era has visited Texas several times
since the settlement of Austin, but at
no time has it prevailed in this city,
though it has been epidemic near by.
In 1866, while large number of
United States troops were quartered
here, it was epidemic at Webbervllle,
only eighteen miles distant, but there
were only about dozen sporadic cases
in the city. Small pox has been
brought here a number of times, and
the greatest harm it ever did was to
run through a portion of the family in
to which it was introduced. The peo-
pie of Austin and vicinity bear all the
evidences OF perfect health, and hun
dreds come, every year, from Northern
climates, and find relief from pulmo-
nary complaints. The natural increase
In population will beaz comparison
with any locality, and children grow
up in health and vlgor. A wide field
is open for those who would till the
s>il, and science, industry and capital,
directed towards agriculture, will pro-
duee the most satisfactory results.
Those who would seek soft places, or
occupation in the professions, would do
well to discard all idea of emigrating
to Texas, for there are ten of these
now IN Texas to where there should be

son to believe that the law has been
enforced, and the daily traffic in liq
uors has been broken up and aban-
doned."
This was in Connecticut, where,
four years ago, by the union of whisky,
Republicans and Democrats, the pro-
hlbitOry law was repealed, and one
year after the report of the Secretary
of State shows an alarming increase Of
crime. The report says:
THE whole nunber OF persons COM
mitted to Jail during the year is 44S1,
being 1896 more than in the preceding
year.
1.-THE two counties most clamorous
for license in 1872 show the greatest
increase of the crime OF drunkenness
in 1874. Hartford county has an in
crease of commitments for drunken
ness of 115 per cent, and New Haven
county l41 per cent. That is, Hart
ford county shows 2l5 commitments
for drunkenness this year for every 100
made two years ago, and New Haven
county shows PAL for every 100 of two
years ago"
! Not a very satisfactory showing for
the advocates of license law. We
have the following from the State Of
Maine:
Governor Nelson Dingley, jr., said,
10 1874, to the commissioners of the
Canadian Parliament:
Gall organized opposition to the law
has died out The great majority,
probably two-thifds of the people at
least, heartily approve of it as the best
system of restriction of the liquor
traffic yet devised, and the most of the
minority acquiesce in it as a policy
which deserves thorough trial.
"The great improvement in the
drinking habits of the people of this
State within thirty or forty years is so
evident that no candid man who has
observed or Investigated the facts can
deny it. -...
"The city Of Lewiston with Au-
burn), with population of about 3d.
600, has not an open dramshop. Secret
drinking has not taken the place of
open drinking"
And the following from the commits
sloners of public charities of the State
of Pennsylvania:
"The effect of prohibitory laws is
strikingly shown by the comparatively
vacant apartments in the j4ils of coun-
ties where the local option law is in
force"
Governor Convers, of Vermont, says:
"The prohibitory law has been in
force about twenty-five years. The
enforcement has been uniform in the
State since its enactment, and con-
slider it very desirable law. l think
the law itself educates and advances
public sentiment in favor Of temper
ance. There is no question about the
decrease IN the consumption of liquor.
l speak from personal knowledge, hav-
ing always lived in the State. l live
in Woodstock, sixty miles from here,
and there no man having the least re-
gard for himself would admit selling
rum, even though there is no penalty
attached to it."
entreat you to weigh we'll the
above testimony and to sustain by
your voices and your ballots local
option. DO your duty on the seven
teenth of March and whisky and it's
mighty evils shall 60 down in eternal
night. HARD BRICK.

The speeches OF the Liberal leaders
in both houses Of Parliament on that
part Of the Queens speech which re-
fers to Turkish affairs indicate the
policy which the opposition will advo-
cate. Earl Granville, IN the Chamber
of Peers, and Lord Harrington, in the
House Of Commons, both declared that
It was The duty o.. England ITO cooper
ate with the other powers for the CO.
ercion Of Turkey, and even to cooper
ate with Russia alone II the other pow
ers refused to act" But IL is moral
and not armed coercion that the Eng
Iish Liberals advocate, believing that
by concert OF action the Turkish gov
eminent, finding itself deprived Of
European support, will be constrained
to institute the reforms which the Con-
ference at Constantipople had recon-
mended bat failed to get the Turks to
accept. The suggestion Of closer al
lance with Russia will strike many
persons with surprise.

A LOCAL OPTION club was organized
at Manor Saturday night, consisting of
ffty-seven ladies and gentlemen, of the
best portion of the community. The

John McMurray, president; F. c. Will,

Norwood, secretary; Mr.. J. c. Harms,
treasurer. Executive Committee
Messrs. John W. Brown, w. L. Ship,
John T. Haynes, w. B. Raney and
Daniel Eppright. 1t was resolved to
meet every Monday night till the cleo
ton, and after pledging themselves to
do everything in their power to carry
prohibition at the approaching election
the meeting and club adjourned amid
enthusiasm
