The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1878-12-05

THE originator and prime promo
ter of the Rio Grande Border Rail
way, Gen. Barnes, was in Austin Sat-
urday.s He is sanguine of the success
Of his bill now pending IN Congress, be
ing satisfied that all the Texas delega-
tion will give this measure their hearty
support. Northern members may i'm
agine this scheme of the Texans to
inausurate q war with Mexico, for
somehow they can not get the idea
into their heads that we in Texas
would cultivate peaceable relations with
Mexico, and when we ask for redress
for cur wrongs, murdered men, women
aud children and stolen property,
they say VIC are the aggressors. Texas
desires peace and security for liYes
and property on its border, and
we may conclude that there
is no more practical and Ger.
tain way to secure the blessings of
peace, protection and commerce than
by railway to the Rio Grandc. Gen.
Barnes's bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Coke and in the
House by Mr. Schleicher, and it may
be presumed they are both friends of
the scheme and that they will push its
passage. 1t asks for aid in building
one hundred and sixty miles of rail-
way from San Antonio to the Rio
Grande. TIE first proposition was
bonus of fifteen thousand dollars per
mile, reduced afterwards to- twelve
thousand dollars per mile.

FROM THE PIG-sTYE TO THE
CAPITAL.

The New York san, having the larg-
est daily circulation of ally American
newspaper, is Republican. Its editor
in chief Is devout Republican, and
yet 1t advocated Tilden's election and
adhered to him with indissoluble te-
nacity till the ugly correspondence be-
tween Tilden's employees in Flor
ida and New York made further
devotion worse than futile. The
Suns circulation grew great as its
independence" became striking, and
to-day, next after the New York Her.
aid, the Sun is the best newspaper
property in. New York. 1t is free
thinker, like the Herald, in politics and
religion, and never suffers the trainers
of platforms and seekers Of offices and
power to dire ct its course. If it blum
der to-day it reverses its course with
the morrow. Technical ''consisten-
cy," the san believes, is incompatible
with fearless honesty, and therefore
these so-called tergiyersations and in
consistencies of independent" news
papers are often indicative of the stur-
diest devotion to truth and right. 1t
is surely creditable to the Sun that it
refuses to defend the in6efensible, and
thst it defled party ties to support
Tilden when it believed Tilden better
fitted to serve the country than Hayes.
But we only proposed to illustrate the
fact, which every journalist approves,
as soon as he becomes perfectly free to
say and think as he chooses, that the
successful newspapers are the free
thinkers and free agents in politics.
II they differ from their party for q
time no honest, sensible reader, how
ever violent his partisan prejudices,
objects. He prefers freedom of think |
ing aud perfect freedom of expression |
and then is conscious, il the newspa-
per Crrs to-day, i: will retrieve Its blum
ders within the month. 1t has actually |
come to this at last, that intelligent,
progressive, thoughtful people win not
read these patented, formal, blinded
newspapers. They sre mere copyists.
They trot closely behind one smother,
the nose of one between the legs Of its
pig-headed predecessor, along the
whole length Of the party's pathway
from the corner grocery convention to
the .'crib" in the capital. Senable
people won't read such newspapers,
snd therefore their starved, hungry
lock, and hence their jealousy and
envy, and hence the gruats and rage
and tusk-guashing of the old boar Of
the MARSHALL Herald.

WHAT THE POLITICIANS AND
MERCHANTS WILL DO ABOUr

We may haYe been mistaken, but
when the STATESMAN said that the
West would avenge in Congress,if if pos
sible, the conduct of the New York
banks affecting the exclusion of silver
from all business transactions in that
city there was reason for the sssamp-
