DAVIS SPEAKS AT AUSTIN.

On the goth Gov. Davis spoke at the city OF
Austin to large audience. The Galveston
News contains b,iet resume of his speech,
from which we gather that the Governor has
turned upon his assailants and given them
few facts to mastcate. We clip from the
News account:
Ex-iov F.. J. Davis entertained large body
of citizens to-night at the courthouse by II two
hours speech, mainly devoted to a defense OF
his administration against the assaults winch,
he asserted had been dealt at him us well To
blind the democratic masses against the snort
cOmingS of their own party as to conceal nNc
and burning issues. He reminded the audience
that his was an experimental government IN
the midst of disorder, which was intcnslfled by
the democratic policy OF throwing every I'M
reasonable obstacle, even to the extent Of Os-
traci,ing his best officers, such as CAPTAIN NC
Naliy In its way he conceded that perhaps
some of the acts of subordinate officers were
open to criticism, but denied that he had ever
recommended any policy that he did not
believe to be in line with the best interests or
the whole people of Texas. He denied the
statement that he had run the state in debt
over CW,CO0 and held it was the mere make
shift for his opponents IN getting up thc!r ng-
ures t. charge 10 his administration the const-
JucnCcS. r,rincipa, and interest, OF thc pension
act. than only repealed by the sixteenth
legislature, particularly as one OF the grOllnCs
taken 10y Governor Coke III his canvass was III
| ling the liCentiOuS operations OF that act. He
would not accuse Coke and Hubbard OF dis
| honesty. for he believed they were honest and
sincere III the line of their thought; but certain
| Iy their administ rations were eXtravagant,
| without cause or beneficial consequence. He
| cOntrasted the difficulty of collecting revenue
| in his day. when there was no means OF reach
| ing real est tie with the legal appliances now
| available; dwelt on the s. $3.50 Occupa-
, ton taxes collection this year and the road tax
| as evidences of OppresSun and Injustice that
| could only be expected in the dOmniOns of the
car of Russia, and accused the democratic
| party of insinccrity in avoiding facts and fig
addressed against himself. Judge Ireland, he
said, claimed the statute cf limitation on the
| know-nOthing business. The democratic party
| claimed the statute of limitation on the green
back business but there was no statute of linn
itatiOn for him. and indeed he was not going to
claim any. He did not need it. The worse i'm
were democrats. They were eternally con
the state, and tncir power had carried then
programme by squandering 8O,CG0,CG0 acres o.
public domain, including 3,0|0,UOJ acres worth
which was million and Il half dollars. That
ering in the treasury.
This speech should be given to the public
in full. The people of Texas have reached
an era when fair play, truth and justice have
some force.

A Cure for Bright's Disease.

James r. Bartlett, of New Milford, few
weeks ago was almost dying with Brights dis
ease; in fact, he was pronounced incurable nd
was reduced to almost a skeleton. Some of
his friends recommended to him the following
remedy: Take sweet cider and place in it
lot of old nails, iron hoops, spikes, and let it
stand until the cider has absorbed abundance
of the iron rust, then drink four or five glasses
daily Mr.. Bartlett followed out the peculiar
prescription to the letter and the result has
been marvellous. Color has returned to his
cheek, flesh to his limbs, and to all appear
ance he is rapidly gaining health and is in q
fair way for recovery.

How Prohibition Prohibits.

To show how prohibition prohibits, some
one has been curious enough to compare the
liquor business of prohibition state with the
same business in free-and-easy, go-as-you-
please state. Maine prohibits; West Vir-
GINA is free. They have about the same aver
age population, and the following figures show
a pretty good average sameness in the licensed
sale of liquors:

Laredo, September ~ George L. Rous-
seau, late lieutenant of the 10th U. S. infantry,
about 20 years of age, committed suicide here
this morning. The deceased wss the son OF
Gen. Lowell H. Rosseau, of Kentucky, and is

Public opinion all over the country is

ing that nineteenth century civilizations
radically opposed to immortality under
the gulse Of religion. Congress has been
IN travail, but the feeble labors have
been abortiye, ,humilitating as the admis-
sion is to the nation. The democratic
party has cheerfully sought to aid the
people IN ridding themselves of this blot,
but republicanism, or stalwartism, inse-
cure IN It's tenure, has cowardly refused
to put its powee to the test and unite
with the moral element in suppressing
legalized bigamy. Anti-polygamy meet

lect, but it is reserved to

leader is Joseph Smith, ir., whose creed
is based on the Book of Mormon, identi-
cal with the Brighamite, or Utah theory.
but opposed to polygamy, has just
memorialized congress through church
committee, praying that active measures
be at once instituted to suppress this
vicious social element. This committee.
which is now awaiting the pleasure OF
congress, sets forth, in its memorial that
the Mormon church, although generally
known as Mormon" is, and ever has
been, opposed to any compromise with
that polygamic body in Utah. The Re
organized Mormon church has for thirty
yesrs opposed and denounced polvgamy
and sustained a missionary in Utah to |
preach against it, with the result of
rescuing 10000 persons from its evils
They ask that more effective measures be
adopted and carried out by the govern
nent for its suppression, and urge that
the true standpoint upon which to act is
that polygamy is not part of the Nor
mon faith proper, but a loathsome in
thus preventing polyga-
mlsts raising the cry of persecution and
thereby holding with them thousands of
honest, ignorant souls in Utah who
would then repudiate it; that bigamists
be excluded from iuries in cases where
one of their number is being tried; that
