While no doubt is entertained
that the people have fixed the seat
of the state university at Austin, it
appears that Tyler is jealous in adj
herring to the point that she has
won it. The San Antonio Express
says: 9Tyler claims q majority of
about 1000 over Austin for the uni
versity, but, as we understand their
position, this count excludes those
votes fayorlng the entire university
at Austin. AS the returning board,
however, will give Austin the vote
for the university entire and that
for locating the literary and scien-
titic departments there, it win give
it 9 majority, that place viii be de-
clared the choice, and the burden of

poor prospects Of success, in our

The Shaker communists, of Co.
lumbia county, New York, settled
on what were originally termed the
barren slopes of Mt. Lebanon, in
that county, which they have i'm
proved and fertilized until they have
the best improved, best cultivated
and the richest farms in that section.
They farm, as they say, much like
their neighbor farmers, except that
they place higher value upon their
animal manures. To save thorough
ly they built a large barn, (the largest
structure of its kind in the state), so
arranged that absolutely all the ami
NAL excrements, liquid and solid,
are conveyed along iron troughs in
to vaults in the barn basement.
There the manure Is mixed with
muck, the droppings from the barn
yard, waste from the dwellings and
all other matter that has value as a
fertilizer, all of which is, at proper
periods, conveyed to the fields for
crop dressing. "The result of all
this laborious care" says a recent
visitor, sis seen in the fine farms and
comfortable dwellings of not only
prosperous, but very wealthy COM
munity." The saving and applica-
ton of farm-made manures did it.

cows, the founders of our leading

would compare favorably with the
best short-horns of the present day.
Look at the Royal Exhibitions in
England since its Inauguration, and
we do not find that deep reds have
taken q majority of the premiums.
Many assert that the reason why a
certain class of breeders are in favor
of deep reds is because the Bates
tribe of cattle, especially the Dutch
esses, were deep reds. This is not
true, if the colors given in tho herd
books are correct, for from Duchess

eight pure reds reported, but they
run in white, roam, yeilow-red, and
red and white mostly, the red and

THE UNIVERSITY VOTE QUESTION


A special telegram from Austin to
the Houston Post says: 1.-THE re-
turns from some eighty-fve cities
and counties give Austin majority
over Tyler of about 2600 votes, and
severance about $500 ahead" The
| Post then, in an editorial discussing
the canvassing of the university
vote, says: If the returning board
shall crown the series of blunders
already committed, by counting
both the entire votes and the main
votes for Austin, if division shall
carry-both as to make up
her count of one-third of all
the votes and also as to
be credited her in the lump for the
main university-a gross and unpar-
donable piece of injustice will be
perpetrated. twill never be SUBJ
mitted to; and should it eventuate
by some strange accident, that the
courts, when the point of injunction
shall come up, decide to sustain the
governor, there will be a revolt SO
instructive and profound that judges
will be made to know that law and
common sense should be one and
the same always. Let us suppose
that Tyler receives 10000 votes for
the main university, and Austin
5000 tor the main and 1000 for the
entire university. According to
the governors ruling Austin beats
Tyler 1000 votes for the main uni
versity. If that be justice, save US
from having anything to do with it |!
The governor says you can not vote
in the alternative or the conditional
ticket, and when the straight ticket
is voted in accordance with his in
structions, he applies, of his own re-
served sense ofjustice, the effect of
the alternative or conditional ticket,
to the dead votes under the defeated
condition, and makes them liel" 1t
occurs to us that the reasoning of
the Post is weak, and that its illus
tration fully demonstrates that weak
ness. If 1000 men voted for Aus
tin for the entire university, they
voted for it to have the main univer-
sity and the medical branch. Then
why should not those 1000 votes be
counted for Austin for the main
university? What power is there
in the state that can suppress the
vote of any suffragan If it be
justice not to count these votes,
then save us from having anything
to do with it. If majority of the
votes cast are i'll favor of dividing
the university, then our opinion is
that the 1000 votes, the figures used
by the Post for illustration, cast for
Austin for the university entire,
should be counted for that place for
the main university and counted
also for Austin for the medical
branch, and one naturally wonders
if the Post is not striving to make
an argument to kill the votes re-
ceived by Austin because that city
favored Galveston over Houston for
the medical branch?-DallaS Herald.

While the columns of the REPUBLICAN
are open for the announcement OF any
person as o candidate for Mayor, we
have been careful to express no choice
ourselves, leaving that to the people.
Al ths same time we cannot divest our
selves of the feeling that the privilege
of bringing out candidates Is being
freel, INDUCED in by the people, and
to saoh an extent almost as to bring
the thing into ridicule. The list pub
lisheds to-day contains the names OF
those who are personal favorites with
those who announced them, and they
all possess certain elements of popu-
lsrisy and strength, but it is very

Generai Railroad 2.aw Neeaea'
The need Of q general railroad law is
felt more in Delaware now than ever
befors, Psnnsylvania to the north OF
us and Maryland to the west aud south
of us each have general laws, and $50
lates Delaware from the genera. adFan'
kapes which hov from such laws. II
ia said that the Constitution OF Onr
State is so peculiarly worded and form
I'D that no Legislature can ps5s gon'
eraI railroad law. II this be the case
and We have no doubt il Is, then there
ia the more urgent uesd that the Con
stitutiou Of She State should be remoi
eled in this rgspe0t, and mada 70 DON
form 10 the mors advanced spirit Of the
railroad age. The failure OF having 3
general railroad law in the State has
been the osuse OF the defeat Of the Del
aware Western Railroad bill in its con-
uection with the Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad and il it passes now at all it
will be in ths, interest Of some osheT
through liRe--some other dark railroad
horse which may or may never form
another combination which would al.
ford wholesome composition. The
failure to have such a provision in thu
aaEs of ths State DOES not 1t is true
prevent changes rs has just been eE-
psrienced, bat the change that has
been permitted Is only change from
one monopoly to another. Railroads
In certain sense must be mcnopoliss.
On account OF the vast amount ii capi
tai to build and operate 9as tbsre mutt
be combination Of both money and
men on central ptjsot to which ali
else mus. b~' subsefvisnt. This
1nsxss monopoly at Onoe. and the
only wsyto ALLOW such monopolies from
expressing the people is to allow tree
scope to the formation OF other monopo'
lies. Tbs peculiar condition in which
Delaware is placed by the absence Of
\ general railroad corporation act has
resulted in an injury 70 the State. The
psotle have not only been denied com.
petition, but thsy have been brought
into subsection to a great railroad
monopoly which has the power to
crush them. That this monopoly will
mot crush them 10 because it is not
pslitic to do so.
The eyes OF the people Of Delaware
7houli by this time be sufficiently
opened to ses that constitutional
convention should be called without
delay that the Constitution may be sc
amended as to meet the wants Of the
shines. OF course it needs rsmodeliu:
In more respects than one, bat the re-
cent railroad movements show the neec
of q reconstruction of the Constitution
no far as railroads are concerned, AND
seeing this we hope movement vii
be made before the present Legislature
