And now let us follow the great hero,
Laksamaua, who sailed away from the
island of TeTuate with fifty war prahus aud
twelve thousand warriors and seamen on
board. The Malay fleet steered a southerly
course, passed many small and beautiful
islands in the a sea, but made no stop or
call until it reached the great island OF Pa
qua. On the coast of the island Laksamana
observed great crowds of naked people OF
much darker complexion than the Malays.
Some were seen running along the shore
making gestures to the people in the ships,
and multitudes were to be seen amid the
foliage of n dense forest, that covered the
land almost down to the waters edge. The
people in the trees, men, women ana cAll-

PERSONAL.

The London Figaro says there never
was any foundation for the statement
that the Prince of Wales was about
to visit America.
Rev. Phillips Brooks is homesick in
India, and writes that the sun never
warmed dearer part of the earth's
crust than America.
Gen. Sheridan is said to be already
house hunting in Washington in an
ticipatiOn of succeeding Gen. Sher-
man not only as generalissimO of the
American armies, but also, in a meas
ure, as one of the social lions of the
capital.
Judge Hoadley has announced that
the statements of his withdrawal
from the field as possible Democrat
ic candidate for the govern orship of
Ohio are premature. His position
seems to be similar to that of Meta
mora. If he is wanted he will re-
main on hand. If not, he will go back
to his wigwam.
Prince Napoleon's visit to the eX-
Empress Eugene at Marlborough
was brief. He arrived at 2o'clock and
returned to London at 4:40. An au-
thoritative statement was afterward
made from Marlborough that the
visit was purely family visit; that
the empress had not adopted the
princes views; that she knew moth
ing about the manifesto until it had
appeared, and that she does not APP
prove of it.
Mr.. Benjamin'S retirement from
active practice at the English bar
calls out from the Law Times a state
ment that "his rapid and brilliant sue
cess eliminated in his last year the
prodigious income of $125,OOO." 1t
adds that when in practice in the
United States, he received in one case
"a fee Of 10000 guineas;;" that in En-
gland he once received a fee of 1000
guineas, and in several recent cases
he received 500 guineas.

Texas. The article is over a column
in length, written carefully and dis
passiOnately, but very firmly. 1t
places the governor in such position
that he cannot pose himself leisurely
and close defense by claiming news
paper persecution. He will have to
defend himself against one charge at
least. The penitentiary lease is the
gigantic fraud that curses Texas to-
day, and the future safety of
the party depends largely OH
the wiping out of this very
dishonest ring by the present legisla-
ture. We had learned to love and re-
spect Gov. Ireland us man who
would not soil his fingers with ring
schemes, and who would steer clear
of the dangerous whirlpool of personal
government, and we yet hope to see
him prove himself so. If, however,
he has been so recreant to his sworn
duty as the chief executive Of every
citizen in a great and populous state
like ours, and given his secret and
personal aid as governor to perpetuate
the pernicious penitentiary lease, we
hope his political hide may be well
scored for the objectionable trans
gression so early in his official career.
We hope to hear from him or his i'm
mediate advisers. He or they cannot
afford to remain silent under these Sc
rious imputations.

ATTENTION Is called to the state
ment made in behalf of Treasurer
Lubbock and his department by Mr..
Randolph. The STATESMAN has not
believed that the treasurer gave en-
enlargement to or even countenanced
the threat referred to. But it was
made. as the STATESMAN has stated,
the fact being admitted by Mr.. Ran
dolph. This case and others like
It show the power of the
lobby. Whether it has the
power or not to shape department
matters, its members assume to Gre
ate the impression that they can.
The condition is terrible. more alarm
ing by far than any that has preceded
it In the history of Texas legislation
The power of the lobby about the
twelfth legislature was not greater
for what work it did then was by di
rectly influencing legislators. not by
controlling as well another indie
pendent branch Of the state govern
ment.

From the Sugar Belt.


Asa E. Stratton, senator from the
Tenth district, was born in Pamela
county, Mississippi, in 1874, and edu-
Gated at Soule university at Chapel
Hill, Texas. In 1870 he began the
practice of law at Matagorda, and
achieved considerable success in his
profession. Intellectually, Mr.. STRAIT
ton is the peer of any senator. He is
very popular among his people, as is
evinced by the fact that hehas already
been elected to, and has held three
different offices. He has been county
attorney and county judge of Bra
zoria county, and held the last
named position at the time of his
election to the state senate. He drew
the long term and will NO doubt effect
some useful legislation before his
term expires. Senator Stratton is an
earnest committee worker, and in de-
bate he is not easy to circumvent
He possesses wonderful tact, which
added to his legal knowledge, makes
him at home on all questions that
come before the senate. In argument
he is cool and self-possessed and never
forgets the consideration due his op.
ponent, and is Independent in
politics.

MAN was pleased to have call from

and in contributing to its Home

make the frank admission that the
Rural World is freely drawn upon,
and that it is indispensable for such
purpose. The Rural World ought
! to have large subscription
in Texas, for it is now showing q
most commendable interest in all
here that pertains to agriculture and
livestock. Col. Colman was in
vited to Texas to deliver an address

THE STATESMAN.
AUSTIN. TEXAS.

WHAT does the Austin STATESMAN
mean by saying that some members
Of the Texas legislature seem TO be
actuated more by a fear of Wash
Jones and his following, than by a
sense of duty to the state and their
constituents. Is Mr.. George Wash
ington Jones so potent in Texas poll
tics as all that ?-Galveston Print.
No, Mr.. Jones is not potent in
Texas politics. lie is unfit to be a
political leader, for he is as dema-
gogical as the veriest political
fraud in Texas. Wash Jones is not
potent. though some may think him
SO; but there is an element-a Demo-
cratic element, too-that may become
potent in politics, and it will assert
its power If the organized Democracy
of the state continue to contribute
officers who adhere more TO persons
than to the people. With increasing
population the Democratic major
ity in seven years has fallen
off 5000. Judge Ireland re-
ceiving in 1882 only 5000 majority
when Coke in 1875 received 10000
majority. The percent of loss be-
tween 1880 and 1882 applied to 1884
would defeat Democracy, even with
out split in Democratic ranks; but
with such split, made upon the
ground that personal government is
the rule under governors nominated
by the regular Democracy, il
\ might be reasonable to con
klude that regular Dem
ocratic nominee in 1884 could bC
defeated by over 10000 majority
This penitentiary wedge which is
being driven in now, Governor Ire
land, with his feeble power, being ont
OF the drivers, may be the force which
is to part Democracy in Texas for
ever. Its severance under such cir
cumstances would destroy the regular
Democracy. The destiny Of
even great political party il
certainly enveloped in ruin when il
becomes the power behind officers
that sustains them for other THAI
popular ends. Yes, the STATESMAN
has been earnestly Democratic, anC
being so it yields no point to any maj
because of his brief authority in office
The principles to which it adheres, il
not protected in the regular Demo
cratic organization, must be up
held, not with such men ~
Wash Jones, but with pur'
undeiiled Democrats, who love prin
ciples better than men, who would
shape for Texas destiny having thu
breadth of popular will, not drag thu
state down to the narrow, contracted
views of individuals and cliques
who may become the masters of gov
ureEIuzathat they may make the PEG

Dining With the Jans.

thC
Charles Wood describes, in "a Day
in Toxic" in Lippincott, Japanese
dinner, as follows:
Mrs. Sannomya, the charming En-
glish wife of our Japanese friend, was
the only lady present; and after we
had paid our respects to her we were
introduced to those members of the
club whom we had not before met.
Then we were invited to be seated.
Much as the ordinary Occidental dis
likes to take off his shoes in public, he
has even still greater Discrimination
to sitting down in a large company
when there is nothing to sit on. We
looked furtively around the pretty
room, and saw ata glance how per-
fectly all the soft colors blended; but
the light fell, to our horror, upon no
chair, or couch, or divan. The Japanese
were already placing themselves in a
circle on the mating, like tailors, and
there was nothing for us to do but to
follow their example. The moment
we were seated young girls brought
in little lacquered trays, on which
there were all sorts of pretty china
dishes, and placed one before each of
us. l examined mine with some in
terest, and found on it, of things l
recognized at once, a pair of chop
sticks, bowl containing soup, and a
saucer with some kind of confection-
cry in the form of maple leaves. The
maple leaf is the coat of arms of this
club, and was stamped, as we soon
discovered, on the fans and dishes,
and even on the dresses of the wait
resses. Out of the corners of
our eyes we watched our Jap
anese friends, to see what we were
to do, and found that they were
watching us, as their etiquette never
allows them to eat until their guests
have begun. Fortunately, Mrs. San
nOmya had already passed through
similar experiences, and, initiating
her, we raised the bowls to our lips,
drank the soup, and then, with the
that had escaped the first process.
After this course, other trays, with
other little dishes on them, were
brought in; and as this was repeated
many times during the evening. and
as nothing was removed, the half
moon of mating in front was soon
covered with enough pretty trays
and dishes to have salts
fed the aesthetic longings of
the most enthusiastic devotee of brio
a-brac. This is the japanese idea of a
feast. When the room is absolutely
full, the dinner is an undeniable sue
cess. OF the almost numberless
courses that followed each other, there
were only two concerning which we
were able to guess even approx
mately as to what they were. The
first of these was raw fish-not
smoked or sailed, or modified in any
degree by its passage through the
kitchen of the Mobiles club from the
condition in which it had been taken a
few hours before from the bay of
Toxic. The second, we thought, was
roasted horse chestnuts with icing on
them.
