Pythagoras, instructed as Moses had
been BY the Egyptians, surmised the
true theory Of the universe; but Science
reiuted him and chained down the hu-
man mind for 1000 years to its clev-
er imaginations. All that time the pa-
tienee OF God waited for the true phil
espher, while Science taught men to
place implicit confidence in its own sub
sublime abortion, that theory Of the uni
verse, empirical and utterly false
which is yet one Of the most brilliant cre-
asions Of the human mind. Two tAous-

MORAL CCWARDICE

A correspondent Of one Of the religiouS
papers writing in relation to certain
place in Kansas, says: 'sThe leading
pastors in the city are afraid to openly
espousc the prohibition cause for there is
no city in Kansas where the liquor is
strongly entrenched." A minister writes
in relation to himself, to the editor Of
Homite'ie Monthly as follows: II

which, because Of popular prejudice, I
would not think Of expressing. con-
slider nay silence pardonable discretion, or

Of the moral cowaraicc of the pulpit at

Big Clothing Failure.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The dry
goods commercial agency report
Hyams Brothers, a large firm of
New York and San Francisco, in
the wholesale clothing trade, sus-
pended with liabilities $250,000. There
are rumorS, as yet unconfrmed, of
still larger failures in the same line.
Hyams, speaking of suspension,
been obtained against his brother Ed
ter has charge of branch house.
This judgment was against his broth
er individually and did not
effect the firm. The creditors in
New York becoming alarmed Hyams
made an assignment to avoid attach
mentS. The liabilities in this city, he
said, would not amount to more than
$55, 900, and in San Francisco proba-
bly, not more than 100000 Hyams
is positive the firm would pay 100
cents on the dollar, and that the
trouble would be merely temporarily.
The assets, he said. would have to
come from San Francisco. The
firms business references in
the assignment are $4,000

CoLoRED children do not make
much progress toward getting into
the public schools set apart for the
white children in the north. A few
days ago, in Boston, colored girl un-
dertook to enter white school and
was refused admittance. A suit was
brought to test her light to admis-
sion. The decision was against her.
There was school in her nelghbor-
hood for colored children. Lately,
iu Wyandotte. Kan., the stamping
ground of John Brown, a masked
mob compelled a colored man to take
an oath to remove his children from
the public school. This is enough to
cause the old mans soul to stop
marching on and come back to in
fuse little more radicalism into the
social condition of the north.

GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, Oct 1G.-The state
ment that J. w. Mackey, the bonanza
king, will meet Ochiltree in this city
next week, on matters connected with
the New York, Texas & Mexico road,
has revived the report circulated some
time ago, to the effect that Mr..
Mackey has succeeded Count Telfener
in the management of the enterprise.
1t is stated in well informed circles
that Mackey had invested considerable
money in the road during its construc-
ton to Victoria, and seeing that the
line, if stopped at that point, would
be improbable, he determined to go in
heavily and build to Mexico on the
west, and build and buy to the Mis-
sissippi & Georgia railway system on
the east, thus giving him a New York
connection independent of Gould or
Huntington. The statement goes
that to this end he has secured from
Telfener the control of the road and
assumed its active management.

THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.

The Courier-Journal is satisfied
Perfirio Diaz means to seize the gov
ernment of Mexico. By seizure it
may not be meant that he will take
things by force, but by fraud. President
Gonzales holds his place now by die
tation of DiaZ, the latter having re-
tired temporarily from the presidency
to work up railway schemes in which
he has thus become interested. He
has secured subventions for compan-
ions, and has grown very rich in con-
sequence. 1t is said that when Con-
zales was made president the contract
was then made that one should serve
the other in financial schemes, and
that after they had been ar
ranged to mutual satisfaction the arch
manipulation should be repossessed of
the government. OF course, this ar
rangement means that there shall be
no popular participation in the choice
of a president. There was no such
participation when Gonzalez obtained
the presidency. There never is any
popular participation in Mexican cleo
tions. The party controlling the reg
ular army over-awes the country. As
to Diaz, there is no doubt that, after
he seized the presidency in 1877 and
drove Lerdo out of the country, he
made a very efficient president, and
started so well in the liberal direction
that he was able to hand over to
Gonzales new order of things, in
which daily revolutions were matters
of the past, and railroad building and
internal development were prominent
| features. 1t is better for the develop
ment of Mexico that Diaz should rule;
but with him the republic is amockery,
The Mexicans live under a more per-
fectly centralized government than
do the Russians. For the spread of
civil liberty in America, it does look
as though the United States will have
to be taking more territory.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-10-18

To BETTER prepare for war the
Russian government is making new
loan, and this financial dilemma affords
an excellent opportunity to the Roth
schilds and other Jewish bankers of
Europe. There is no government
pretending to be Christian that is so
malignant in his hostility to the Jews
as Russia, and none which gives them
so little protection for life and pro-
perty when assailed by mob violence.
The Jewish money-lenders of London
and Paris have only to say to the czar:
We will negotiate your loan provided
you remove the disabilities Of the Jews
within your dominions and treat them
hereafter with humanity. That sort
of a pressure would soon bring the
Russian government to terms. But
finance and sentiment have nothing in
common.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-10-18

PROHIBITION has played quite a
part in the late elections, the Republi-
cans having lost Ohio and barely held
Iowa on this issue. Ia Ohio they
were not committed positively in sup
port of the principle, but all their
leanings and associations looked in
that direction. 1t is said the women
and the fanatics made strong efforts
at the polls, and Disguised many
voters by their radical antics. The
average American voter does not
want to see women mingling in the
hurly-burly of political Management,
even if they agree with him, and their
activity in the Ohio contest had no
slight effect upon the result. In Iowa
the Republican party, with its sixty
thousand majority, could afford to rur
some risks, and it did so by making
itself the prohibition party. But il
lost much strength because of it. a
the reduced majority simply demon
strates. 1t is even doubtful whethel
the next legislature will inaugural,
the movement to resubmit the de
feated amendment, many of the legis
lative candidates committed to it hav
ing been defeated. This, taken il
connection with the defeat of tie sec
ond amendment in Ohio. leaves pro
hibition an issue in both states, ant
insures the continuance of the agita
tion; and it may be dragged into tn
presidential contest.

IT is agreed that the congress soon
to assemble will be called upon to con-
slider the permanency of the national
banks. 1t will have to provide for a
new bond, bearing low rate of inter
est to be exchangeable for bonds de-
posted with the United States treas
ury to secure circulation, or permit
the deposit of state bonds or other
good securities. AS the latter is hard
ly probable the question of providing
a federal security of permitting the
banks to withdraw all of their circu-
lation will have to be met, or the still
greater one as to whether the banking
system shall be abolished altogether.

THE National Republican is author
ity for the statement, that the presi-
dent will soon pardon Sergeant
Mason. 1t also says the opinion gen.
orally prevails among army officers
that Mason will be pensioned. An
examination of the records of the wal
department shows that the applica
tions for Mason's release form the
largest general petition ever presented
on any subject in the history of the
United States, the signatures at
tdched to the papers, which are from

more than 100000 names.

THE cable reports that M. Wilson
has, by request, sunk the editor in the
son-in-law. Wilson is the manager of
the Petite France newspaper, a small
daily sheet published in Paris, which
has the largest circulation of any
newspaper in the world. He also
married, in an unguarded moment,
the daughter of M. Grevy, and was
thereby drawn into the family of the
president of France. The two posi-
tions seriously conflict, and the result
has been political scandal which
threatened to break up the cabinet.
To smooth matters over, the president
has asked Wilson to give up active
control of his newspaper, and it is
said the editor has consented to do so.
His course would not please Mr. Dana
and other advocates of the high office
of journalism. They would call on
NJ. Grevy to resign the presidency, so
as not to embarrass M. Wilson in the
management of his newspaper.

If THE Washington correspondents
are to be credited, Gov. Butler said,
during his recent visit to Washington,
that there would not be less than
three strong presidential tickets in
the field next year. "There is" he
said, "every Indication that strong
third party movement is organizing,
and politicians, in making up their
states. must not leave this out of their
calculations. Two million working
men will demand a voice in the gov
ernment. In my opinion they will
nominate candidate for the presi-
dency next year, and l am satisfied
the men they select will be one on
whom the best elements of both par
ties can unite" If it were not for the
last few words of his talk. the infer
ence would be that Butler had an idea
that he would be the candidate of the
workingmen.

DENIsON, Oct. 16.-Cole's circus
gave its first performance in Texas
by exhibiting in Denison to-day.
Thousands of people came from all
parts of the country and the great
tents were packed at each perform
ance. 1t is the universal expression
that Cole has by far the largest and
most meritorious exhibition ever or
ganized. Nearly every act is new
and interesting. The troop of Arabs
is the talk of the city, and Sampson,
the enormous elephant, surpasses the
huge mastodons of old James Robin
son. The champion bareback rider
of the world, Frank Gardner, the
champion leaper, and one hundred
other celebrities are with this grand
show. All business was suspended,
and a grand holiday prevailed. An
ovation surely awaits Cole on his tri-
umphal tour Of Texas.
