Mr.. EDITOR like your editorial

truly that we want statesmen to rep
resent the people. Not only states
men, but honest, unselfish men, who
realize that she who is greatest
among the people, is most highly

worthy one to serve them without
p6cuniary reward. The people also
need to learn that their servants
should not put on airs, ape royalty
but return to early republican sim.
plicity. The disposition to outshint
others is the root OF a vast deal of our
political troubles. We can learn d
wholesome lesson mot only from the
"little Alpine Republic" but also from
the Russian village commune
where the commercial officers or ser.
wants of the people are selected fol-
their probity, wisdom and knowledge
of affairs, and who rather shun the
Office and seek it, but being called to
it by their friends. and neighbors, are
not selfish enough to refuse the honor
thus thrust upon them. but serve
faithfully those who elect them, con-
tent with their reward in the rever-
ence and respect of their friends.
before honor is humility" and
hope that you will continue your
good work until Texas, young as she
IS, shall have learned to avoid the
errors of her older sisters and put her
'aJfg foot on all Office seekers, and
place hunters and politicians of ALI
sorts, and have learned to seek for
the best men, and call to her service
only tried and tue men, irrespective
OF party. who shall consider the
honor Of serving the sovereign people
their sufficient reward. ''He that is
greatest among you, let him th yonr
servant" was the command given to
the people. nineteen hundred years
ago. and before the next century

Another Water Test.

Yesterday morning several mem
bers of the state water board, and 9TH
er citizens. at the invitation of. and in
company with. Capt. NJ. d. Mather,
president of the Austin water works,
visited the state deaf and dumb insti-
tute and there witnessed Il test of the
efficacy of the water wo. ks recently
completed to that institute. Five eff
fectual streams were thrown simulta-
ne0nsly over the top OF the building
and up to and over its towers.
The mains and pipes were
of sufficient size and strength to pro-
duce these streams, and the pressure
was sufficient to successfully main
tain them. The completion OF the
water works to this institute supplies
long felt necessity. and their sue
cessful operation is a source of gratifi-
cation to all who feel an interest in
the management of the deaf and
dumb asylum.
