THE COURIER'S ABUSE, AND THE
CONVENIENT RINGS

The burden of the CouT7eI'S advo-
cacv of Tyler is abuse of Austin.
We search its columns for words of
favor for Tyler, but find applied TO
Austin only such expressions as
these: "She is a disgrace TO the
people of Texas"-.Austin, coarse
and ugly"-"Her cloven foot-'-"The
scarlet mother of Mexico"-"Austin
bloodsuckers"- is cowardly
too cowardly to succeed;"all ofwhich,
with the abusive sentences in which
such expressions occur, must be
highly interesting to voters. Had
Austin q canvasser resorting to such
abuse as this against its RI
walls, the STATESMAN would de-
nounce the committee sending him
out, and would call for its withdraw
al from the contest. This abuse is
heaped against the capital of Texas
as centre of political and moral
corruption, when one of the
purest citizens of the state,
who loves Tyler as his home,
administers the affairs of our great
commonwealth in q manner not sur
passed for credibility by any past
state administration. Governor
Roberts inaugurated a period of up
ri ghtness in government circles,
which keeps away from Austin a
flock of cormorants from other por-
tions of the state, who engaged in
making rings and preying upon the
state treasury. For this Governor
Roberts is endorsed by the people
of Austin, because they know he
conducts an honest administration
while they have been opposed to
all administrations allowing the ex-
istence of these once widely organ.
lied rings. The STATESMAN will in.
form the Courier that there is now
no chance for banker in distant
city to hold more than ten thousand
dollars, due the state from &
dead collector, for eighteen months
} simply because at the time of the
collectors death this money was Oh
deposit with said banker. These are
the sort of treasury ringsters Gov
ernor Roberts has molested, and thu
fact may account for his being hated
by few men in other places thai
Austin, where he is respected ant
admired for his admirable admins
tration of state affairs.

Enc Providence Journals Faith in
 Statesmen.
 We cannot and we will not believe that a statesman holding the exalted rank of 8 member of the Common Council walks about in trousers which are unpaid for, unless it be by accident or blythe trihing delay be- tween the receipt of the garment and the drawing of the check to iquidate the same It would be severer blow to our confidence than the holding of his seat after he had ceased to possess the legal qualification. Therefore, we are constrained to believe that the address of statesman s'Jimmie" Grimley to statesman s.Tim" Heferman at the parlia- mentarv caucus in the Tenth ward-''Shut your mouth, you sucker, and pay for the pants yes weariig!' was of strict Iy metaphorical nature, or mere playful allegory, if he had ad- vised him to wipe of his chin, pull down his vest, or take walk around the block, and was intended mark of political disapproval rather than 8 reflection upon his personal integrity. Indeed, the whole proceedings seem to be of an allegorical nature, and the charge against one states man that he was renegade who had voted to exempt the railroad company from taxa tion aga1nst another that he was liar who had sold his vote for twenty dollars, and even against the honored chairman. when be had voted the wrong way, that he was an incompetent ass or words to that effect, must have been intended merely as flowers of speech, the exuberance of sidewalk elo- quence, and of strictly Pickwickian construc- tion as far from being resented as insults as from being taken as literal facts The Celtic nature has long been remarkable for an exuberant and poetic eloquence, which the colder Anglo Saxon cannot initiate or at times hardly appreciate, but it is well that it should become accustomed to it through the proceedings of the ward caucus or the larger Democratic convention, so as to understand it when it comes to be heard in the City Council or the Legislature in representation of the powers of universal suffrage. Our ed ucation in this respect has been neglected in Rhode Island in compa ison with New York city, but we are not entirely without oppor- tunities of instruction through representative parliaments, like Tenth ward Democratic caucus, and as we go on we shall be more fa- miliar with the music of the future.

THANKSGIvTNG

Again the rolling year has brought us to the great Home Festival. The boys have all come home with their wives and the girls with their husbands, and both, of course, have not left the babies behind. The fatted turkey has been killed in honor of the return of the wanderers to the parental roof, and there is much joy wherever a family is reunited. There have been years when the general causes for thanksgiving in this country were more numerous and weighty than they are this year, but such years are few. Our crops, though not as large as those of last year, were not small. The nation has been at peace with all the powers of the earth. Prosperity has attended the enterprises and industries of the people in a marked degree. Pestilence has not visited us with its affective power. With these evidences that the favor of God has fallen upon us the people of the United States have cause for profound grati- tude at this period.
 We have had, as a people, one great af- hiction, but that afiictiou, like many others which have seemed too grievous to be borne, has brought with it much that is good. The exhibitions of heroism piety, and 8 noble and beautiful family life which adorned President Gar fields sick room are blessings whose influ- ence will not be small or soon lost. His long and heroic struggle with death turned and kept upon the people of this country the eyes of the whole civilized world, and the sym pathy so universally felt and so heartily ex- pressed has strengthened the ties which bind us to other nations. And the common sorrow also did much towards completely reuniting the people of all sections of the country.
 Of special reasons for thanksgiving each or our readers has some and most of them have great many. It would not be unprof- itable for each one to go over the past year this morning and call to mind what he or she has to be thankful for. The review, if fairly made, would convince even the unfortunate and Respondent that there is propriety in a day of thanksgiving, and would give many reason to say, with the poet
 50 Loving One. o Bounteous One,
 What have not received from Thee,
 Throughout the seasons that have gone
 Into the past eternity.
 For. looking backward through the year,
 Along the way my feet have pressed,
 see sweet places everywheres
 Sweet places, where my soul had rest
 Body, and heart, and soul, have been
 Fed by the most convenient food;
 My nights are peaceful all the while,
 And all my mortal days are good"
 But it is not enough to give thanks Hu- mility, repentance, sympathy with and help of others beft the day. In no way can you make your Thanksgiving more satisfactory to yourself or more pleasing to Him to whom you owe gratitude than by ministering to the needy, and showing some poor widow, or phan or outcast that human selfshness is not quite as general and unvarying as they may have had reason to think

EsThe Austrian war office has issued an order that officers of the army or navy who adver- tise for wife, whether in good or bad faith, will be placed before a court of honor and are in danger of being dismissed from the service. The practice of advertising for wife, whose chief requisite consists usually in being rich, is said to be rather common among the officers, most of whom have to live like gentlemen on very small pay.

Customs and Principles of the Duskers From Colonial Monastery" in the Century for
 December

Customs and Principles Of the Du, kers. lFrom a Colonial Monastery" in the Century for December.l
 Tire Dunkers profess all the fundamental principles of Christian faith They do not however, believe in the eternal perdition of souls. They have no creed apart from the Bible. What they aim at is to restore Chris tianity to it's primitive purity, scrupulously to follow the precepts and the example of the Saviour, and to make religious convic- ton the able arbiter of conduct in life. They still baptise the neophytes-as their founders at Schwarzenau did-by immers- ing them three times, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Spirit. Their holy ! communion is preceded by the rite of foot washing. A discussion has of late engaged their attention-upon the question whether the single or double mode has the better claim for observance. When the same brother both washes and dries the feet it is the single mode; when each Service is per- formed by separate person they call it foot washing by the double mode. It is not to be understood, however, that the whole congre- gatlon IS thus served by one or two of their number. There are enough of them going around with tub and towel to finish the cer- emony within reasonable time. Foot washing and communion are always admins tered in the evening during the afternoon a love-feast IS held, in commemoration of the supper which Jesus took with his disciples There Is no binding rule as to the choice of food though among the viands lamb has the preference. Even such lIxuries as coffee and butter, unknown to Scriptural Palestine, are not objected to. After the love-feast comes the ''holy kiss'' The min lster gives it to the brother that sits next to him on the right; he applies it, in turn, to his neighbor, and thus it is passed along the line, and by the last is carried to the next table. The same order is observed with the women, with the exception that the first kiss is applied by the minister to the first-sister's hand.
 The Dunkers live in peace with one anoth- CT, and seek 10 redress, for injury done to them, by recourse to law. Disagreements among themselves are settled by the elders, whose decision is final. Only in exceptional cases and after permission is granted by the officers of the congregation, do they institute lawsuits against the people of the world. Like the Quakers and Men nonites, they refrain from taking or admin 1stering oaths, from participating in warfare, or giving countenance to it in any manner whatever. Their are adverse to accepting public office. They poor their support. Among their host of two hundred thousand people, there is not one who suffers from want. Even those who fail in business are aided to make new effort, and such assist ance may be lent three times. After the third failure they take it to be the will of God that the unfortunate brother shall not succeed.

l Randall Lee Gibson, of Louisiana has been ! a United States Senator elect for long time. He was elected more than year ago for the | since then been reelected to the House of Representatives, of which he is now a mem- Der. His early election to the Senate was
 caused by the peculiar constitutional arrange
 ments of Louisiana. The legislature of the
 States mes ts once only in four years Its
 latest session was in 1880, and as the United States statute requires that a Sen ator shall be chosen at the last session of the legislature preceding the beginning of the senatorial term, and as the
 next regular session would not occur until
 January, 1884, an election was then held,
 and Gibson was chosen. An extra session of the Louisiana legislature has now been called, and it is asserted by some of the New Orleans papers that this session vacates Mr. Gibson's ] election, and that though he has been a Sen ator-elect long, he will be no longer un- less the legislature at the coming session should repeat his election. There does not seem to be much ground for such an asser- tion.
