Foraker Declares Against tile Scott
Law, and Tells the PrOhlbitionistS
to Go to.
Foraker, the Foster candidate for
Governor, has been forced at last 10
show his hand respecting the proposed
amendments to the Constitution on the
liquor question. During the several
weeks he has been upon the stump. als
though repeatedly questioned whether
he intended to vote for or against the
Second, or Prohibition siuendment, he
stu5bornly refused to answer. His OBJ
ject was evident. He was afraid OF of,
tending the temperance people. and
wished to get their votes But his pro-
found silence finally alarmed his whisky
friends. and they insisted that be
should speak out. In speech deliyeri
ed at Ludlow Falls on Friday, August
31st, snd fepbrtsd in the Commercial4
Gazatte, he yielded to the clamor OF the
whisky men and declared himself against
both amendments, as follows:
"lt is not right that l should seek to-
drag these non-political questions that
don't belong to politics into political
discussion. And, therefore, with re-
spect to these amendments, both OF
them, as candidate of the Rephblicaif
party, standing on its platform, it is my
duty@as we'll as my pleasure to Leave
them alone, both in the campaign and
in the election. For that reason shall
neither discuss them NOR vote for them.
And that is the answer I give to nv
friend, Judge Hoadlv, when he asked
the question as he did the other day.
whether or not intended to vote fef
this Second Amendment We leave
that Second Amendment for the people
to determine as they see it, just as we
have the First Amendment. It is not
for me to champion the one and oppose
the other, or to champion the other and
oppose the one." - .

The Lecture THURSDAY.

Arrangements have been perfected
by which the Rev. James d. Shaw is
to deliver two of his powerful lectures
here next Thursday and Friday
nights. The lecture will be in the
Senate chamber, and, of course, no
admission will be charged. Mr..
Shaw is undoubtedly one of the most
eloquent and forcible speakers in
Texas; and he has had the eyes of
the state turned towards him of late
because of his Severing himself, or
being severed, rather, from the Meth
odist church last fall. Mr.. Shaw is a
selfmade man; struggled up inch by
inch from a poor Texas boy, until he
occupied one of the highest positions
in the church. At the last general
conference his talent, learning and in
tegrity moved those who knew him
to put him in nomination for the Of
flee of bishop, being the young, st
man probably, except the great Geo F.
Pierce, who was ever SO honored. OF
course many of the orthodox believ-
ers now denounce Mr.. Shaw as a
turn cart" because he differs with
them in his idea of making the world
better, and others say he has lost his
mind; ence. he is little known or
understood in his present relation,
and itlwould be less than injustice now
should his quondam brethren and adj
mirers fail to join those who like tai
ent and learning on the lecture plat
form in giving Mr.. Shaw hearing
when he comes to Austin.

Snake Stories.

AS the time of year has arrived
when snake stories are in vogue, and
pass as library currency. Mr.. Clay
Jones related two that were from re-
cent experiences of Mrs. Jones and
himself. The other night Mrs. Jones
heard her little Canary making a ter
rife noise. and went to the cage and
found that chicken snake had coiled
himself around the perch, completely
hiding it, but she could not see any
thing of the little bird. On getting
the snake out and killing it. she dis
covered that the reptile had wound
the bird to the perch in the folds of
its coils, completely crushing the life
from the peor little Canary. The
Snal1e was over three feet in length
and very slim.
Mr.. Jones says he uses porcelain
eggs altogether for nest eggs, and had
been missing one now and then. A
few DAYS since he found a chicken
snake of respectable size fastened in a
crack, through which he was trying
60 squeeze. He killed the snake and
found in it one of his porcelain eggs;
the dead snake away, he put the por-
celain egg in a nest, so as to deceive
hens as usual.
