The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1882-06-29

ATTENTION is called to an article,
copied from the Waco Examiner,
endorsing the STATEsMAN's condem-
nation of an elective judiciary. 1t
holds that the lawyers control the
situation, and that they give public
adhesion to an evil while they de-
nounce it in private in unmeasured
terms. Our association with law
yers leads us to endorse
what the Examiner says about
them. They are privately OPP
posed to an elective judiciary, but
there are the fewest lawyers who
would come out in public and de-
clare their convictions; in fact, most
of them give public adhesion to our
present judiciary system. What is
the cause it? Can it be that the
lawyer refuses 20 antagonize present
modes, because In doing so he
might indirectly antagonize the JUS
tiess who resort to these modes /?

women as Their own Dre.s-mak
New York Home.1

Sewing machines and the sale of
cheap paper patterns have combined
to make large number of women
their own dress-makers. And as
this class is one which swells the
ranks of pedestrians in shopping
localities, the eyes of the general
public suffer proportionately. The
street at times seems ablaze with
strange, unearthly tints, which
might be looked for in a chemists
laboratory. If the suggestion were
ever so little demoniac it would be
more interesting in character. But
the style of arranging these tints is
generally commonplace, and the
trimming which fails TO harmonic
with the whole is vulgar and odious.
A little knowledge is proverbially
dangerous, and to entrust the man
ipulations of color to the hands of
the uneducated is to give fire to
children. But perhaps free hand
ling of the perilous stuff in youth
will bring to maturer years discre-
ton and prudence, and the crop of
wild oats sown in hot blood may
yield ut last harvest of harmoni-
Gus proportion and tasteful color.

VIRGINIA, which is seldom heard
of east or west, especially in connec-
ton with the list of states producing
great crops, has made in recent
years the most remarkable progress
in small fruit culture. She heads
the list as the greatest strawberry
grower and shipper. New York
city alone has received in one day
from Virginia as much as 10000
bushels of strawberries, and the
total shipments to minor markets at
the same time must aggregate 10000
more.

A Little Misunderstanding.

The jealousy between ex-Gover-
nor Hendricks and ex-senator Nc
Donald, Of Indiana, is said to be as
bitter as ever. One reason why the
Democrats hope to carry the state
this year is that the election does
not involve any question of differ
ence between these men. The gen.
eral belief is, however, that Hen
bricks has come to the conclusion
that the future has no more political
honors I'm store for him, while Nc
such is Hendricks popularity that
it is doubtful if Mcdonald can OBJ
tain the honors to which he aspires,

rival

Bran BED. for the Babies.
London Globe.]

A French doctor has invented a
new bed for babies. which holds
them safe in its custody and pre-
vents them from ever giving any
trouble at night to their attendants.
This gentleman has subjected his
system to the most trying of all
tests, for he has applied it to his own
children, and considers that the life
of one OF them Is entirely owing to
its use. The idea is to fill the greater
part of the cradle with bran, and
immense the legs and part of the
body of the child in this nest, COW
ering them over in the usual way,
but fastening down the counterpart
tight, go as to keep him firm in his
place. Why this change of tactics
should have the effect of taking
away from the infant his usual
desire to howl during a part Of

Peter COOper's Air Cushion.
GPeck's SUM-

Peter Cooper always carries rub
Der air cushion, which he blows up
and places in chair or street car,
before sitting down. The other day,
in "a third avenue car, he was seated
on mis- air cushion when a well
dressed lady sat down beside him.
She had large pin to fasten up her
dress on the side, and as she sat
down the pin struck Peters air
cushion and the air began
to escape with Kissing
sound. The stream of air
struck the lady on the side of the, as
it were, the-well, where would it
naturally strike a person ifnot on the
elbow? She looked at Mr.. Cooper
and he began 10 sink down and look
as though the greenback returns
were coming in, and the woman
stopped the car and yelled for a
policeman, claiming the old man had
stabbed her. Both were taken to
the police station, when it being
found that she was not wounded
Peter was allowed to go and have
his cushion mended.

journed in disgrace, a large number

1t appears that the drunken Repub-

may happen in a dry? If all this
can occur in the ''cradle of hberty,''
what may happen in less favored
localities, where the trading poll
ticians are in the ascendant?

UnObIiging Tax-Payers.
New York Herald

The remedy of the ship-building
ring for the melancholy condition of
our foreign commerce is that we
should tap the treasury and grant
subsidies. If money were applied
in this way it would go, not to
the ship-owners, but to Mr..
Roach and company. The position
of these lobbyists, then, is
this: They have succeeded in drlv-
ing the American flag from the
ocean in the foreign trade, and be-
fore they allow it to be restored they
demand to be subsidized as the con-
dftion of their consent. 1t is not
very probable that the taxpayers
will consent to obl;ge Mr.. Roach and
his friends.

QUEER ETIQUETTE.
Beautiful Custom in Vogue Among
the MeXicaus.


A correspondent in Mexico writes
as follows: The Mexicans of the
wealthy or well-to-do classes have q
custom in married life which seems
to me pretty one. Husband and
wife have entirely separate apart
ments, and neither is expected to
enter the apartments of the other
except on invitation. These apart
ments are in the same house, or at
least the same Enclosure, yet they are
usually separated by a considers
BILE space. Each has q separate set
Ofattendants or servants and nothing
seems in common between them ex-
cept the table, at which they always
eat together, the nursery for the
children, and the yard or court, with
its flowers, figs and vines. When
the husband desires the COM
pany of his lady in his apartments
he writes note of invitation in
terms of the most formal and lofty
politeness, incloses it in a perfumed
envelope, seals it and sends it to her

The Tennessee state Debt.
1Memphis Ayalanche.1


Estimating the state debt proper
at $3,000,000 and the amount prom
ised to be paid by the Bate-Read-
juster platform is nearly as great as
the amount already provided to be
paid the creditors by the COG settle
ment. The annual intert ST to be
paid is about the same under both
while there will be about million
and half more of principal to pay
under the 60-0 proposition. But
in his speech in the legislature
Mr.. Cole proved that the
estate debt proper" amounted to
$8.000,000. His figures have not been
disputed. If they be correct then
the 50.3 Readjusters promise to pay
more of the principal OF the debt and
TO pay more annual interest than
will be paid to carry out in good
faith the 60-6 contract. This liberal
ity of the Readjusters would be more
amazing were 1t not for the fact that
the John Savage and Co. bosses of
the convention do not intend TO pay
anything if they can help it. They
promise something to catch votes
for the repeal OF the contract recent
ly made to pay the creditors sixty
cents.

occur in very complex and con-
