Misrepresentation; the STATESMAN
could only oppose him. We are not

criticism. but prefer to work zeal
ously in secret; if they concoct plans
in the dark, at the dead hour of mid

in duty to openness of purpose we
should oppose. Such a man is the
dark horse, the designing wire

into the ring at the last moment as
an accident, when an un-
tiring relay of hostelrY has
been engaged for months in groom
ing him for the occasion. The
STATESMAN is ready to speak kindly
of those who are not afraid to come

A Disnonest Practice.


But it Is not true that the object
of congress was to commit the tariff
question to a commission of experts.
That was q false, dishonest pretense.
The bill had no such purpose. Its
purpose was to enable party poll
tlcians to evade q public question
which menaced party organization
a question which they found could
not be subordinated to the party
purpose of getting the spoils-a
question which they had not the
manliness to meet honestly. Mr..
Baysrd, who had charge of the bill
in the senate, and was one of its
most earnest advocates, has
had the candor to confess
that its purpose was 1to take the
tariff question out of politics!" and
he appears to have really bam-
boozled himself into the delusive
notion that it could be taken "out of
politics" in this way. He now per-
ceives from the style and character
of the commissioners named by the
president that, instead of taking the
question out of politics, the only ef-
feet of the commission scheme will
be TO give it more conspicuitY in
politics than ever. aft he had known
this" would be its effect, Mr.. Bayard
''would not have favored the pass

senator from Delaware's account,
that his foresight was not equal to

THE STATESMAN is pleased to no.
tice suggestions of some of the pa
pers, that Judge A. S. Walker, late
a member of the commission of
appeals, and now district judge OF
Travis county, be nominated for the
supreme bench. Without giving
sanction, even indirectly, to the
methods by which men are now
brought forward for places on the
bench, we may be permitted to pay
slight tribute to the worth of this
distinguished jurist. Such men as
Judge Walker rarely live. He is
most profound in the law, and
to the bench he takes with
him a reputation for purity
of character and for honesty of pur-
pose which none dare gainsay.
When he was unanimously nomina-
ted for the district bench of Travis
county by Democrats who knew
him so well, he at once signified his
purpose to leave the higher courts,
if elected, and to thus obey the will
of his neighbors and intimate
friends. He was elected, but no per-
son in Travis county can say that
Judge Walker, by act or by word,
attempted to influence any voter.
lie was nominated without his
consent, and elected without
an effort on his part against a
strong and well-organized move
ment against him. Such men as he
were created for the bench. Open,
pure and brave, and a wise judge,
no man could be chosen who would
honor the bench more.

The Bosses ana the offices.


President Arthur began the policy
of federal interference in state affairs
when he became the coadjutor of
the rebel renegade and repudiator
in Virginia. He handed over to
that sharp political dealer the entire
federal patronage of that state in
order to secure 1t to the republicans
In 1884. In New York he is using
the whole power of the administra-
tion to punish the opponents of the
popularly-deposed Boss Conkling.
Cornell, who deserves TO be beaten
ON general principles, is to be beaten,
not because he is mere
trading politician, but because he
turned his back upon Conkling in
the lstter's day of political calamity.
The stalwart machine, which was
smashed all to pieces by Conkling's
resignation and subsequent dis
graceful failure to secure q re-elec-
ton, has been reconstructed, and,
precisely as when he was in the GUS
tom house, the valve of the machine
is to be operated, is, indeed, being
operated, by the occupant of the
white house. Here in Pennsylvania,
where one Of the old Grant clique
holds the valve, the president is
strengthening the hands OF
the operator by giving to him
all the federal patronage he
asks for. 1t is only another
form of Grants southern policy.
Grant gave the bosses there bsyO-
nets. Arthur is giving the bosses
here offices. The policy is the same
it Is only the means that are differ
ent. Will it not be Just as well for
the president to learn from expe-
rience that it is dangerous thing for
a president who wishes to succeed
himself to bring the federal power
into sovereign commonwealth to
influence the elections for state off,
GERS? Executive interference is not
wanted here, had best not be brought
here. The people of Pennsylvania
can attend to their own affairs with
out federal help. Let those who
have the machine run it as they will,
but let them run it without aid from
the president of the United States
Let him keep his hands off it.

The Rich Mans Return.

William III. Vanderbilt has come
back from his vacation of a month,
three-fourths of which was spent in
watching the curling waves and
drinking the ozone of the north At
lantic. Perhaps he comes to put his
broad shoulders under the dropping
stock market, and give it a spring
"boost;" but l doubt it. Why
should he? What need he care
whether stocks 60 up or down? He
is not one of the weak lambs of the
street to whom rise or fall of ten
points means salvation or ruin. He
would drive as fast horses, drink as
costly wines, buy as rare pictures,
and sleep as easy under the cano-
pies of a $4,000 bed, whether
the market is booming like the
Mississippi river at Vicksburg or as
dull as patent Office report. l know
of no man who so easily carries the
burdens and cares of enormous
wealth and great official responsible
ity. With his massive frame, his
daily outdoor driving and walking,
and his recreation of visiting and re-
ceiving in that palace of his, he is
likely to be as vigorous twenty years
hence as to-day. 1t is the fashion to
declaim against Vanderbilt as a
"purse-proud monopolist," and to
shower like epithets at the possessor
of untold millions, but the fact is
that, after all, other people get good
deal of his money. He spends liber-
ally, and those who charge to his
pride and ostentation the possession
of house costing anywhere from one
10 two millions overlook the fact
that those hundreds of thousands
haYe gone from his strong box into
the hands of carpenters, bricklay ers,
painters, artists, decorators, iron
workers, furniture makers, glass
blowers, carpet weave-s, and the
hosts of artisans whose combined
brains and handiwork have been
called into requisition for the erec-
ton and furnishing of the superb
mansion on Fifth avenue, and that O
large part of this money will to-day
be found to their credit iu the saw
ings banks. believe in the right
and duty of rich men to spend their
money freely, and so get it into the
hands of those who have greater
need for it, and this is something
which Vanderbilt does with no mig
gard hand.

A PROTECTION organ says: "1n
some lines we make articles better
than any to be purchased in Europe,
and can afford to sell them cheaper,
and our machinery and implements
hold monopolies wherever they are
introduced" Here is a distinct and
decided declaration that in many
lines the protected manufacturers
do not need any protection what
ever. The duties should, of course,
be taken off these articles, for the
manufacturers admit that they can
undersell the world with them,
while making their fellow-citizens
pay them an enormous tribute for
using them. These broad admissions
sometimes leak out, and give the
protectionists away, showing that
they tell deliberate falsehoods when
they say that if the tariff duties are
reduced all American manufactures
will be extinguished.

By the re-apportionment in Wis.

By the re-spportionment in Wis
consin the state gains one congress
man. He is likely to be Democrat
The present delegation is composed
of two Democrats and six Republi-
cans. Bragg, whose district will
now be the second, instead of the
fifth, has Q sharp fight to make the
nomination, but once nominated his
troubles are over. Deuster, who
represents the Milwaukee district,
will doubtless be reaominated, and
the chances for his defeat by the
Republicans are not very good.
The new fifth district is strongly
Democratic, and there is q free fight
there for the nomination. Among
the six Republicans there will be
some changes. Williams and
Caswell, present members, are
thrown together in the first
district, and when it comes
to q choice between them, Caswell is
pretty certain to be left out in the
cold. In the third district there is q
great deal of opposition to Hazleton,
and hls present safety lies in the fact
that this opposition is not united.

POLITICAL NOTES.

"Look at Arthur's forbearance," !"
says the stalwart New York Com
meTcidL Advertiser, in admiration.
We look and discover that he has
been for some time moving down
the half-breads in cold-blooded
ferocity. He has been whacking
away ever since the days of mourn
ing for Garfield were ended.
The Philadelphia american says
the tax payers of the United States
are perfectly delighted over the pay
ment of enormous amounts in PEN
sions to ex-soldiers. We doubt it.
There is grumbling all around. This
year pensions will cost $100,000,000
and next year $150,O00,O00 and there
are still ACC, 1000 claimants.
The Kansas negroes have sent a
petition to congress asking for a
large slice of the public domain for
their own use. They want water
and timber, houses and rations,
seeds, cook stoves and all sorts of
necessaries with the land, and five
years. time, payment for the land to
be made in annual amounts. The

What is to be expected of tariff

There is scarcely chance OF thor
ough investigation calculated to
furnish the basis for broad and en-
during policy. There is not even
the material from which a strong
minority report might be expected
There is no hope even for yigilant
and resolute effort to get at more
than one side of the question. The
result will be that while the single
object of delay may be secured,
there will not be sufficient conf
dence in the conclusions which the
commission will report to stay the

BayIand Orphans Home.
June 8, 1882


To the Editor of the STATESMAN
Inasmuch as Bayland orphans
home is comparatively little known
outside the section of country in
which it is situated, have thought
it well to offer you for publication, a
few lines which shall convey to the
people more generally, special IN
formation pertaining 10 the situa-
ton and working of the institution.
The home is situated midway be-
tween Galveston and Houston, forty
arm Of Galveston bay, called San Ja-
cinto bay, the head of Galveston
bay. The most convenient way of
reaching it is via Galveston or
Houston by boat. The Home is just
what its name implies, home for
orphan children, such as are poor
and homeless. 1t clothes, feeds and
educates them free of charge. All
the children old enough to attend
school go to school throughout the
year, full time in the winter, but in
the summer during the busy farm
ing season frequently not more than
half time, that is, half the day, a
portion of the other half being set
aside for farm work by the boys.
All the children, both boys and
girls, who are able TO work, are re-
Quired to assist in the various de-
partments of labor-the boys in the
outdoor work, the girls in house.
keeping. No severe or long labor is
imposed upon them at any time.
The government is decidedly fam
lily like. The mildest discipline pos
sible is used, and the children are
made to feel that they are at home
as tar as it can be done consistent
with good order. Care is taken
that they enjoy proper recreation
for their sports. Besides the usual
little plays of children about the
house, they have bathing, boat
riding, fishing, etc.
Of the forty children now at the
home, there are none sickly and
puny, but all, without exception,
are Tor the most part strong, healthy
and apparently happy. Their school
advantages and Sunday priv
ileges are equal to those enjoyed

pains is taken to interest them in
morals and manners. The boys do
most of their work attended by the
superintendent. But l must close
for the present, in details, as l see
my letter is getting too long.
1 add a few more lines by way of
renewed gratitude to the citizens of
Austin who have done SO much re-
Gently by their generous offerings to
brighten the home and contribute
to the welfare of the children, and
our special lady friends there have
aided us beyond our highest expec-
tations, and are still doing. In their
labors of love to bless the orphan
and the widow, may the Father
above most abundantly bless them
and theirs.
For the past five years the home
has been almost without furniture.
Its friends in Austin have been first
and alone to come to Its aid and re-
lief in that respect.
This season has been one Of Sc
we're drouth with us, and our crop

Pestilent politics have utterly alb
sorbed mems minds since the mur-
ders in Phoenix park, and the politi-
cal woman, who is a dreadful trial at
all times except to seasoned world
lings, has again come to the fore,
During the prelacy of st. Jingo
there was "queen of the Jingoes,''
charming woman, superb in her
magnificently ample figure and a
royal princess into the bargain. 1t
was sheer H. r. H., as one says
here-who at dinner party asked
Lord Beaconsfield: "What are you
waiting for?" meaning, of course
why do you not go to war with Rus
sia at once? To which Benjamin
DIsraeli made the memorable reply
am waiting for some roast NUT
ton and potatoes" Ladies in this
country are natural tories, and make
a great outcry about the Irish affair
They are on the side of the stars and
other decorations, and have little
sympathy for the land league. /

woman who actually" "swore off" the

GATH is authority, and we want
the authority considered, for saying
that rumor that John Kelley pro-
poses to retire from political life, be-
fore the Democratic state conven-
ton assemblies, has been in circula-
ton for some days. This rumor
gains very little credence among the
Democrats outside of Tammany, but
comes like a dark cloud to the Re-
publicans, who base their hopes OF
success in the coming struggle upon
the divided state of the Democracy.
They view with alarm the prospect
of Mr.. Kelly's retirement, and the
possibility that it will lead to unity
among their political opponents.
The stories afloat are to the effect
that Mr.. Kelly, whose health has
been bad for the past year or 80, will
go abroad, and Sachem Edward
Kearney will take his place tempo
rarily, or until all elements of the
party in this country unite.

any one, has this to say upon the

Some people estimate the ability
of a periodical and the talent of its

matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for a frothy writer to string
out q column of words upon any
and all subjects. His ideas may
flow in one weak, washy and ever.
lasting flood, and the command OF
his language may enable him to
string them together like q
bunch of onions, and yet his paper
may be but q meager and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing q paper is
but q small portion of the work
The care, the time employed in Sc
lecting, is far more importsnt, and
the fact of u good editor is better
shown by his selection than any
thing else; and that, we know, is
half the battle. But, we have said
an editor ought to be estimated, his
labor understood and appreciated,
