The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-12-13

THE following tribute to the worth
of our townsman is taken from the
Fort Worth Gazette:
The famous Austin artist, IL. r.
Marks, has sent to our branch Office in
Washington, admirable pictures of the
leading politicians and statesmen and
jurists of Texas, for which the Ga
Zette proffers its sincere thanks. BY
the way, Marks pictures Of Jefferson
Davis, of Hood, Bragg and other Con
federate leaders have been selected
and preferred by the Bureau of Con.
federate War Rec Ids at Washington
to all others and will be used in max
ing engraved likenesscs of these Off
GERS for the publications Oh this bu-
reau.

DURING November the receipts from

DURING November the receipts from
customs were, in round numbers, $13,-
100000, against Sl5, 100000 for Novem-
Der last year; internal revenue $l0,-
100000, as against 100000 for No
vember of last year. The total re-
ceipts from all sources. for the month
were $26, 100000, as compared to $780,
100000 for November of last year.
Thus far this fiscal year the customs
receipts are less by S11,00OO00 than
they were for the corresponding five
months the last fiscal year. The in
ternal revenue receipts are less by
$11,O000O0. The miscellaneous re-
ceipts are about the same, hence the
total falling off has been twenty-five
millions in five months, or at the rate
OF fifty-four millions a year. The ex-
penditures for the five months have
been nearly seven millions less than
for the same period of last year. The
surplus revenues for the first five
months have been thirty-seven mill
ions, as against flfty-two millions for
the corresponding period of last year,
a difference of fifteen millions.

THE New York Herald things con-
stitutlonal amendment, prohibiting
polygamy, is not necessary. This is
the view of THE STATESMAN, since it
is patent the amendment would meet
with contempt among Mormons, while
the result would be, that the evil
would grow instead of being sup
pressed. Unless the Mormon meet
with prompt treatment it will, before
many years, result in a war, costing
the country millions of treasure and
tens Of thousands of lives. For near
ly twenty-five years the Republican
party has been quietly viewing the
increasing power of the Mormons
until they have grown mighty in
money and in men, and we may be
permitted to say women. Instead of
enforcing law already in existence
against polygamy, the government
has made but one abortiye effort to
arrest the evil. The time to meet the
question was, therefore, years ago.
To present an amendment to the con-
stitution now would be dilly-dallying
still, while means are now at hand to
enforce the law. The jurisdiction
over Utah rests in the federal govern
ment. Let it see that its statutes are
enforced. The military could do good
service in Utah in helping to make
them effective.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-12-13
Ostrich Farming in this Country.
[Scientifc American.

The ostrich farm in California is
from Anaheim, part of the way being
over the old bed of the Santa Ana
river. The land on which the farm Is
located comprises GAO acres of alkali
soil. The same kind of soil is found
in Africa, and it was considered no
obstacle. To rid it of its alkaline
properties, it was plowed very deep
and water turned on 1t, well 300 feet
deep yielding many thousands OF gal
Ions of water day. The water was
allowed to remain for a while, when
it was drawn off, taking with it por
tion of the alkali in solution. This
operation was continued until the
land had been washed sufficiently to
be put under cultivation. According
to the San Francisco Bulletin, this
farm has yielded three crops of alfal-
ia, and fourth is ready to be cut.
The twenty-one birds on the farm
were brought, in a roundabout way,
some $4,000 miles, part of the distance
by car. When young they are kind
and tractable, but after three years
become vicious and deceitful. Blind
folding them-generally accomplished
by pulling stocking over their heads
takes away their pugnacity, and
they will not kick. except they know
what they are kicking at. The eggs
are not fruitful because, the owner
states, the birds are becoming accli-
matized. Even If all attempts to
hatch the eggs should prove unsuc-
cessful, the value Of the feathers will
cover the expense OF tending the
birds for the year.
The attempt to raise ostriches in
Florida has Just been commenced,
three pairs of birds having been taken
there.
Ostrich eggs are about six inches
long by five wide, and are equal in
bulk to twenty-four hens eggs. The
chick is Matched in forty-two days,
and Few days after reaches the size
of a common hen. A light brown
down covers it, and at the back and
wings are projecting needles, similar
to those of hedgehog. At the age OF
one month the size of turkey is
reached, and small feathers begin to
appear. At one-half a year the feath-
ers have attained a good size, but are
not cast off until the bird becomes a
yearling; young ostriches are kept IN
fiocks of from twelve to fifteen, ano
separate from the old ones. Generally
the feathers are cut off once year
but birds which receive special atten
ton yield two or even three crops Of
feathers.
The best feathers now come from
North Africa, but the crop is insignifi
cant compared with that of Cape Col
| ony. Natal and the Transvaal. since
1862 ostrich farming has greatly mul
tiplied in those countries, and it il
now estimated that there are 10000
domestic ostriches, which yield feath
ers worth 81. 100000.

THERE is a prospect that an inter
national bi-metalic monetary associa-
ton will be formed at an early date
Its object will be to facilitate trade
by fixing the relative value of silver
and gold throughout the commercial
world, thus encouraging the coinage
and expectation of silver, and to en-
deavor to promote uniformity in the
money standards of all nations based
on our decimal system. The names
of Gen. U. S. Grant, Hamilton Fish,
Henry Clews ana other prominent
political and business men appear at
the head of the movement. 1t is like
ly that several years will elapse be-
fore any definite result is reached.

THE MoRMoNs have over three
hundred missionaries in the field, and
they are gathering converts from all
parts of the United States, Europe
and the Pacific Islands. The Utah
immigration agent at New York has
had 5O00lEuropean converts consigned
to him in the last four months. Over
1000 have gone TO Utah, for the ex-
press purpose of joining the Nor
mons, from the Southern States alone,
in the same length of time, and re-
Gently over 5000 from the Sandwich
Islands landed at San Francisco. The
Mormons are now holder and more
aggressive than ever before. Their
delegate to Congress comes with in
creased influence and confidence,
backed by strong lobby. This is the
condition into which Mormonism has
drifted, until it is uow a question to
be considered with the greatest eau
ton. BY proper administration it
could have long ago been made to hold
in reverence the laws of the United
States. AS it is now. danger turks, in
more than one respect, in its power.

A FREE BRIDGE.

A correspondent strikes the prop
key when he calls attention to the
fact that there should be free bridge
across the Colorado river at Austin
Other places of less pretention have
their free bridges, and wisely so, be-
cause they tell wonderfully on the
business Of a city. Often has THE
STATESMAN advised a public invest
ment of this sort, and it is gratifying
to know. that its views have endorse rs /;
and we do know, that, were
a free bridge once estab-
lished, there would be no
end of congratulation at the fact. 1t
would benefit everybody in this sec
ton, not only those in the city and
those on the west side of the river,
but those on the east side as well. 1t
would enhance the value of property
in the city, because it would cause
more people to settle here, and it
would therefore add to the value of
everything produced in Travis county.
The demand for city real estate would
be increased, more people would live
within its limits, and every article of
production in the rural districts would
command better prices. Austin is
growing with great rapidity; Travis
county is developing its resources in
manner paralleled by no other coun-
ty in the state, and nothing should be
neglected that will advance city and
county on the high road to fortune.
Can any one doubt the effect free
bridge across the Colorado river would
have upon the growth, the popu-
lation and the consequent increase
of property values in Travis county.
Strangers come here, looking for
homes in the city and country;
they have money to invest in
waste places and to add to the
taxable values of property in
Travis county. They take IN the
whole situation, and the fact
that an embargo is placed upon
the community's trade by a toll
bridge across the river often drive
strangers to some less crippled
community. The existence of a
toll bridge takes away from Aus
tin, it is computed, 10 per cent
of what ought to be its trade.
This 10 per cent would make an
enormous sum in twelve months and
it shows a waste of profit to Austin
merchants of enough to pay for a
free bridge in a very short
time. But the merchants of Austin
are not the only people to be benef-
cially affected by the establishment of
free bridge. The increased trade, as
we have stated, would produce in
creased demand, and increasing de-
mand would be felt at all local fo.--,.
of supply in the Immediate vicinity
Besides, the people on the west side of
the river are unjustly Disseminated
against. They are forced to pay
tax from which others Of the county
are exempted, and one of the
very first principles of properly
organized and just society is that
taxation shall be equalized. The
people on the east side of
river have enjoyed immunity from
this bridge tax for many years,
and it would be but proper that all
should join together and put an end to
thing that is absolutely damaging
to the entire community. The right
of the county to build free bridge is
clear, and our county court could take
up no subject, and pursue it to sue
cessful conclusion, that would give
more general satisfaction than this
one of establishing free bridge.
