The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

From an Interview in the New York Times.
Some men wish to be president that
they may send their names down in
history. That motive does not affect
me. The schoolboys of the future
will know of Butler when the names
of some of the presidents will be lost
even to history.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

WHO is running and responsible for
the financial policy of the govern
ment? The republican party. There
fore, it is responsible for the present
financial panic, scarcity of money, and
the shaky condition of things gener-
ally. 1t was responsible for the black
Friday of 1873.
IT will be seen that the Canadian
authorities deny that cholera rags
are sent into the United States
through Canada, one way or the other
Busy firms that knowingly imr orts
such infected material ought to be
held for deliberate murder.

but at the same time very caustic
article. The Courier does well to
take sides. We like to see that of all
things.

Kelly Pretty Wen sandpapered Down.

From the Chicago Herald
The only scalp Mr.. Kelly carries
back to New York is the one on the
top of his head, and even that is tied
on with string.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

1T is an absolute outrage on nu-
manity, cruelty to the insane, for
the superintendent of the insane asy-
lums of this state to be subject to po-
litical caprice. The superintendent of
an asylum should be a physician like
DIR. Hammond, of New York, who
has devoted his whole life to the study
of this class of disease.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

THE Gazette wants to know what
Dick Hubbard proposes to do with
his boom, and wants to know badly.
Well, the Post says he is too good
and too honest, to touch boom,
and that he loves ireland with
love which surpasseth that
of woman, and wouldn't interfere
with the boom enjoyed by his
excelleney for all the world. A man
who retuseth to interfere in the
schemes of the thick and thins devel-
ops with amazing rapidity these days.

LET us nominate Ross.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

If man fails to exhibit good sized
.cicatrix upon his arm he need not ex-
pect to share the governors official
COOLERS. Ireland is no half-handed
governor. When he goes in for vac
cination he means business, not nom
sense, and aby the eternal the people
must and shall be yaccinated, if it
takes the entire executive force of the
state to accomplish it. 1t is real
pity that some of this sort of energy
didn't characterize his treatment of
the fence cutting patriots. But it
didn't, and there's an end ont.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-07-24

When opposition to a governor
comes from the capital, as does the
opposition to Ireland, the people are
suspicious, for it is the capital that
always wants to swallow up the rest
of the state. 1t is here that Jobs are
put up, and all sorts of designs form
ed to raid the treasury and control
the government.
The above wanton bit of insult,
causeless and impudent as it is, is
from the Dallas Herald. THE STATES
MAN has opposed Governor Ireland
for good and sufficient reasons, which
it has published all along at length,
and with the utmost candor. 1t be-
longs to no ring or clique. 1t acts
alone and independently of every one
else. 1t has determined for itself and
assumes all responsibility for its own
acts and calls not any man master. If
the Herald will read THE STATESMAN
this, or almost any other morning, it
will find out that our opposition to
him is based upon anything
else rather than that he is
standing the faithful watch dog at
the treasury door obstructing our
raid upon it. 1t is because, among
other things, he does not interpose
sufficient force to prevent such raids
as the one made by the A. and M.
directors that we fight him as we do.
It is very groveling nature which
could get such result out of the bat
tie we have been waging against his
excellent excellency.

Columns he has taken the lowest tartf ever sane

The first bin. that proposed by Mr. Morrison,
would probably be looked upon by the House as a
temporary measure, and would b. expected TO be

Malone Called Pet Names.
SENATOR NEwBEKRY TELLS THE VIRGINIA sENAT

WHAT EE THINKS OF HIN.
The Joint resolution introduced In the Virginia
senate some weeks ago requesting Cen Malone TO
resign bis seat In the United States Senate came up
In the senate yesterday. Gen New berry its author
In advocating the adoption or the resolution, made
a fierce onslaught on Malone. He reviewed unat
Senator's conduct In boSsing his party In this state
and his calumnies upon the people OF Virginia.
Gen. Newberry said: This senate knows that
Gen. VIM. Malone did leave his seat In the last
Congress OF the United States and took I'd his
abode In Richmond for no other purpose than 10
control by dictation those whom the people had
elected TO make laws for the government OF the
people. BY his own chosen agents he framed most
OF the laws to be passed by the Legislature, and
own interest and TO crafty his nsatiate greed for
plumber, place and power. Virginia was sold, but
the merchant, but for a new medium OF exchange
called federal patronage; and the sale would
have been confirmed had not the people put In an
they declared for a full vote, free ballot and
fair count which resulted in the survival OF the
httest, and causing thereby the people OF Virginia
ence."
VIRGINIA POCKET BoRorGH.
Senator Newberry asked has Virginia become
mere borough In the hands OF trading poll
tician, whose vanity has outgrown his discretion,
and whose patriotism is measured by his purse?
The speaker then reviewed the conduct OF Ma
hone In eliminating the people OF Virginia In the
address issued by him shortly after the last election
Mr. Powell. Mahonite, OF Spottsylvania, replied to
Mr.. Newberry. He claimed that Malone was
democrat when he was elected, and was one still in
the true meaning OF that word Nj. Powell adj
mitted that the result OF the last election 10 this
state practically disposed OF the readjuster party
and they could never rally again, at least under
that name The debt, he said, was settled
AT O'Clock the speaker yielded to motion 70 ad-
fioOr to-day when the resolution comes up and Will
no doubt be passed Before IL was reached yester-
dsy the Mahonites made feeble effort TO nibuster
and stave on the resolution
