JUDGE EDWIN WALLER was sew
enty-four years old at the time of
his death. He came to Texas when
the infant republic was battling for
existence. and he shared in all its
struggles for independence. Often
times he was called upon to sitpin
state and local councils, and he was
ever an honored and loved member
of society, devoted friend and
kind relative. His life was devoted
to Texas. and he deserves monu-
ment. here upon these hills. that will
last through all time TO come.
Quitting the glorious field of San
Jaeinto he devoted himself to
works of peace. and TO the
advancement and grandeur of his
beloved Texas. To him Austin
owes its location amid these green
hills and valleys. He was one of
the three commissioners, and the
work mainly devolved upon him,
who looked over broad and beau
tiful Texas. and, seated upon Capitol
Hill in sight Of savage men. he too
said. here let us build q
city, whose proud structures, with
spires and domes shall mount
heavenward, and whose existence
shall be symbolical of the grandeur
| and greatness of Texas. He it was
who conceived the plan of capitol
upon the hill, and these spacious
avenues, and whose compass defined
the lines and corners Of streets and
blocks Of this capital city. How
could the people OF Austin more
honor the noble old man. whose
body was quietly taken from their
midst on Monday, than by building
monument to his name and MEM
ory. Here. in the prime and vigor
Of q young, and buoyant and brave
manhood. he delighted to eontem-
plate the existence of a city. To
his beloved Austin, after near forty
years of residence in another por-
ton of the state, he wended his
way again, as he said, to die. And so
Judge Waller passed sway, another
taken from the little existing band
of brave men who fought and bled
for Texas. the last of whom will
soon be gathered to the eternal
camping ground

THE question Of free ships is sgi-
tating the minds OF congressman
Senators Herman and Beck are NOV
ing vigorously in the matter, and a
bill introduced by the latter, pro-
vides that IL shall be lawful, here
after, for all citizens Of the United
States to buy ships in whole or in
part in any foreign country. and
have them registered as ships OF the
United States When so registered
such ships so bought shall be en-
titled to all the rights and subjected
only TO the same regulations as are
now provided by law for the govern
ment and management of ships built
wholly within the United States and
owned and controlled by citizens
thereof The policy Of Rcpubli-
cans has been TO place such exor-

The international sanitary con-
ference which is holding session in
Washington city, was called toseth-
er on the invitation of the govern
ment. in pursuance of law passed
at the last session of Congress. The
conference is for the purpose of ar
ranging an international quarantine
system, which shall be uniform the
world over. There will be repre-
seuted by the diplomatic agents,
England. France, Germany, Spain,
Russia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
Turkey. japan, italy, Sweden and
Norway, Mexico, Portugal, Chill.
the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada
and the United States. A Washing
ton special says, that all the foreign
governments are prepared and have
the necessary machinery to carry
out the suggestions of the confer
ence. except the power that has
called the conference together,
the United States. Here it has
been over and over again deter
mined that quarantine matters
must be regulated by the states, and
yet the states have not been invited
to send representatives, TO this con-
ference. The marine hospital SER
vice and the national board of health
represents and embraces all the
power which the Federal govern
ment possesses in respect TO quaran-
tine regulations Rnd all that they
can do is of an advisory character.
Realizing this the marine hospital
service. which Is under control Of
Secretary Sherman. has sent no rep
resentative 10 the international ssni-
tary conference. The recommends
sious OF the conference cannot be
enforced or adopted by this govern
ment without further legislation.
and the legislation viii be difficult

1T is believed possible that Blaine
would accept the position of Seere-
tary of State under President Gar
field, and it is said the Grant men
are beginning to show great ner-
vousness over the fact that much
Difference is to be paid to Blaine in
the conduct of the incoming admin
istration. There is no one they hate
80 much - they do Blaine. From
Grant down they oil dislike him,
and Blaine has good reason to dis
like and distrust Grant. He does
not favor making Grant = captain
general, but in 1876, when he was in
the midst of the agony of the Cin-
cinnati convention, he offered Grant
in writing that if he would help

nomination his first public act after
election would be 10 recommend

would not yield his opposition

Gus lest Blaine's control of the csbi-
net would mean their defeat. That

ministration. A prominent adher-
ent of Mr.. Blaine says:
"There is something more than a
presidential nomination for which
Garfield has to thank Blaine. He

life ut all. and that he is not lying
away to rest with Colfax, Patterson

sTRUGGLE INTERPRETING
TEXAS I.AWGIvERS.

The impression begins TO prevail
that Congress may fail At its present
session 10 adopt refunding bin. If
SO, the next Congress will certainly
continue the settled policy of the
Republican party. and refuse To
adopt bills. now being considered,
which tend so materially to reduce
the rates of interest paid on the
bonded debt. Although Mr.. Wood
processes himself convinced of his
power TO pass his refunding bill,
there il opposition both in the
House and Senate. and in that some
times most potent of all the houses,
the lobby, which has so effectuslly
controlled Republicans. There is
. pretty general recognition of the
fact that Woods proposed five hun
dred millions 3 per cent. twenty
forty bonds can he sold at par.
There is also a general opinion in
favor of his two hundred million
certificates. redeemsble in two and
payable in ten years. These. also,
according to the provisions of the
bills, are to bear 8 per cent. interest.
The first question, however, is as to
whether the amount of these certiti-
Gates can not be greatly in
creased. and the amount of the
bonds reduced. Much opposition
is properly displayed toward
putting the public debt beyond
the control of the government,
and hence Judge Kelley's bill
is much approved. This bill was
presented as a substitute for the
Wood bill. The four per cent bonds
come under the control of the gov
ernment in 1907, twenty-six years
hence, when about half the interest
bearing debt, $750,O00,OO0, becomes
due. Besides this there are $3.50, ,00O,.
600 in four-and-a-hslf per cent bonds
shortly falling due, which will not
be provided for before maturity
unless this Congress act without de-
lay. The government is accumu
lating surplus funds at the
rate of $9O,0O0,0O0 annually, and
this fact suggests the propriety oi
making bonds that may be in the con
troll of the government at an
early day. The surplus for three
years will more than pay the bonds
due this year, and it is certainly
proper that the annual reserves shal
not be allowed to accumulate withou
the power to use them at once in thu
reduction of an interest bearing IN
debtedness. Though a 3 per cent
indebtedness could be easily fioated

ANIMpExATivE CHARITY.


The Telephone joins with every
other paper in Texas in urging that
suitable provision be made for the
insane people of Texas. 1t does not
mean all these fellows who are crazy
to he speaker and clerk and door
keeper and such things, but these
poor unfortunates, who are bereft
of reason. and who desire public
pity and public support. The case
of Mrs. Iseu, of Dallas. is instanced.
This woman has been respectable. but
is poor. and because of no room
in our State asylum she has TO
be sent to distant state, at great
expense. where she will be far out of
the reach of those who love and
cherish the woman, and who hope
for her recovery. The case OF Mrs.
Isen is but one of hundred that
have applied to our state institution
to be treated, and who have been
rejected, not because they are not
wanted. nor because they cannot be
treated as well in Texas as else
where. but because there are abso-
lutely no accommodation for them.
The Telephone says: In nearly
every county there are one to half
dozen unfortunate people whose
mental faculties are impaired,
and for whose restoration not
thing is being done. They
are confined in county jails or
their friends keep them chained
like wild beasts. in out-houses. Ii

matters. There is plenty of money
In the treasury at Austin to increase

we hope the Alcade will preach the
Legislature a sermon on this subject
that will carry conviction, as the
preachers say, to every legislative
heart. The present state of affairs
is disgrace to civilization and hu-
manity. The average legislator may
not find as much zest in attending
to this matter as he will in helping

it is one that ought to enlist the

In CONVERSATION with 4 few
recently, President Hayes
said he approached the end of his
term with feelings OF relief. He
proposes TO return to his home at
Fremont and give his attention to
his long neglected private business.
Being asked if he should not leave
public life with regret, he replied in
the negatiVe-that he should expe-
rience a sense of relief in laying
down the burden. How unlike
nearly all public men is this presi-
dent, who no doubt feels that he is
vacating a place to which he has no
right.

Republicans are annoyed at the ab-

Some tune ago il wss nertioned
in the STATESMAN that q charter for

cured. Col. d. E. Hungerford, of
New York, one of the incorporators,
is now in this city. where he will re-
main for few days, preparatory to
inaugursting work in connection
with this railway project. The pro-
posed line Of the road begins at
Richmond, on the Brazos river,
thirty miles from Houston, and ex-
tends westward to Wharton, and
thence through the counties oiJack-
son. Victoris. GolIad, Bee, San Pstri-
clio. Nueces, Hidalgo, Cameron. Re-
fugio and Cameron, with the pres

New York and foreign capitalists
are standin. back of the proposed
work. and he says they are deter
mined to build the road without
delay. He is at present engaged in
organizing a force to at once enter
the field for the selection of line
for this railway. and in a
few days. when field instrument
reach here from Now York. he, in
company with Mr.. Dinkins, our pres
ent city engineer, will leave for
Richmond, where the work of sur
veying the route will begin. AT
Richmond this road will connect
with tho Sunset road, through which
it will receive its construction sup
plies: thence to Wharton it will
traverse level and intensely fertile
country, when it will pass the Colo
RADIO river. and to the westward il
will move on through rich lands and
green pastures all the way toBrowns-

velop one OF the most pro-

iudicious introduction of labor on

try through which it passes is a nat.
ural home for the sugar cane, and
it cnnld be made to produce enough
