The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-09-15

THE second election for members
of the French chamber of deputies
resulted in the choice of GA Repub-
licans, 3 Royalists and 5 Bonapart-
lists. In the Ga districts the Repub-
hcans gained ten seats-seven from
the Bonapartists and 8 from the
Royalists. The next chamber will
consist, without counting the colo
NAL deputies, of 459 Republicans, AZ
Bonapartists and Al monarchists.
The elements of opposition to Re-
publicanism, if combined, are too
feeble to even annoy the majority.
Since the death of the. Prince Impe-
rial the Bonapartist party has been
gradually going to pieces. Some OF
its ablest leaders have voluntarily
retired from politics, because they
do not regard Prince Napoleon as
worthy the respect or support of the
imperialists. The royalists' ranks
comprise all that is left of the BoHr-
bons and their followers. They are
held together by an indefinite hope
that something may happen which
will restore the royal house to the
throne.

1T was an unfortunate day for
Texas when the state sold $2,000,OOO
z per cent. gold bonds for IS cents
in paper, when gold was worth ITO
and 112. The realization to the
state was little over 20 cents for
each dollar of Indebtedness incur
red. Now the state buys these
bonds from holders at enormous
rates because figures show that the
state saves money by doing so.
The difference in the rate of in
terest that these bonds bear and
the present rates may be used in q
very simple calculation, showing
that it is better to buy than to allow
these obligations to draw interest
The state is in one of those miser-
able dilemmas from which the es-
cape is safest through the purchase
of bonds even at high figures.
This is the reason why Treasurer
Lubbock buys at $3.50. The state
saves money by his course. The
sale Of these seven per cent. bonds
was certainly an unhappy feature in
the history of Texas finances.

Rapidity of Thought.

The researches of scientific men
have shown that thought is not so
rapid as :is usually believed, but
that every action of the brain re-
quires an appreciate time. Hirsch
proved that less time is required TO
recognize touch than a sound, and
that it took more time to see than to
hear, but the question still remained
as to what part of the time was con-
sumed in the act of recognition,
This problem was solved by Don
ders. By means of very ingenious
apparatus he has found that the
double act of recognizing a sound
and giving a response occupied sew
enty-five thousandths of a second, OF
which forty thousandths were re-
quired for the simple act of recogni-
ton, leaving thirty-five thousandths
for the act of volition. One twenty
fifth of a second was occupied in
Judging which of two irritants was
acting upon the same sense; but q
slightly longer time was necessary
to determine the priority of signals
sent by different senses, as those OF
hearing and seeing. The described
results were obtained from man OF
middle age, the young were some
what quicker; but the average of
many experiments showed that the
time required for a simple thought
is never less than the fortieth of a
second. The mind, thei efore, at its
greatest activity, can perform not
more than twenty-four hundred acts
per minute-not a very. great speed
when it is considered how many of
these simple acts" must be combin-
ed to form any process of reasoning
or continued thought.

Mr.. Hendricks makes the familiar
complaint of Mr.. Tilden in 1876-'77,
that he did not have sufficient back
bone. Mr.. Tilden could we'll reply
that he was not nominated as a
backbone candidate. He was nomi-
mated because he had barrel. He
ran the campaign ON that basis, and
the cipher dispatches show that his
management tried to capture the
presidency by the same means.

don't like his color. In fact, it be-
trays him." When asked to ex-
plain, he said: ave can nearly al
ways tell a newly discharged con-
vict who has served a long time in
prison by his color, which comes
over his face because he is denied
the sunlight. Many a man has been
picked up by that fact, and detec-
lives keep it constantly in mind
The face gets a paid look, with q
yellOwish cast. All of the noted
thieves who have served for long
time in prison get this hue. Some
of them are sharp enough to try to
overcome it by smetics, and they
are as particular about the fixing
up their complexion, under the cir
cumstances, as woman going to u
ball, for they know that the detec-
rives will spot them If they once
catch a glimpse of their color"

have the same complexion
Yes, night editors. That is
where we get mixed sometimes"

The Brazoria Independent is salts
fed, as the STATESMAN has long
been convinced, that the mouth of
the Brazos river is capable of being
made the best harbor on the Texas
coast. 1t says:
A competent engineer will make
an offer to put twenty feet on the
Brazos bar far $3.50, 900. He desires
the assistance of our people in secur-
ing the endorsement of the members
of congress, when during the next
session he will make the propo-
sition to the national government.
The trade ofTexas needs harbor on
its coast. The BraZos is nearly a mid
way point, and on the mainland,
secure from overflows and storms.
In October at the meeting on the
4th and the excursion on the 9th our
congressman should be made ac-
quainted with these facts, and our
people see to it that they are kept be-
fore the government, so that millions
be not sunk in the sands of the Gulf
with questionable prospects of do
ing any good. This is an era of
"cash balances" in the public treas
ury, and retrenchment and reform
economy in public expenditures. If
the work is success at the BraZos,
$350,000 is the price. If not sue
cessful, nothing Is paid. This is the
proper way, to improve our har-
bors. The places that can not stand
contingent appropriation should
not be allowed longer to absorb the
peoples money. Economy demands
change in the present contract
system,
