New York, November IS.-At Albany,

bright as day. At St. Paul, the sky was of a
blood red color, the display being grand and
fearful. Cheyenne reports the illumination at
that point, last night as bright as day. AT

was most brilliant and dazzling. In Califor-

part of the state, and as far south at San Die

"The spirits of the fathers lives, and the
university is yet to be what they intended it
should be-the cap stone Of the common
school structure, the pride of every Texan. -
| Austin Statesman.
| Why don't you say that the whole thing is
yet in embryo, except the soft places already
filed by the old alcalde and his associates.
The "cap-stone" is very good, but "cap-
stone" without anything to cap is useless
waste of limestone. We have no Common
school structure or it it is SO very common
that the universitys' "cap-stone" would look
like granite shaft on top Mexican jacal.
Hancock and tariff for revenue only"
triumphed in the 10th district. 1t was glori-
Gus victory Marlin Ball.
1t was an inglorious sell out. Hancock
blew hot an cold on the tariff questionable
quoted the apprehensions Of sheePmen by
telling them that he was not in favor of distur-
bling the tariff on raw wool because he consi-
dered it at a revenue standard, but that he ia
word reduction of tariff on manufactured WOOL
en- goods; what humburg-the tariff on wool
could be removed entirely and the revenue
would still be suficient-and Mr.. Hancock
did not pretend to show in what particular the
tariff on manufactured wooden goods was not
at a revenue standard. The truth is, Han
cock played for votes at the price Of honesty
and consistency, but with ali that he would
have failed it had not been for the trade in
which Ireland votes were coined into Han
cock votes. Glorious victory.
