Municipal Farces.

Yesterday the STATESMAN pub
lished facts about the municipal gov
eminent of Austin and its modes,
which demand a more formal and
emphatic treatment, to the end that
the lesson be driven home and the par
ticular abuse complained of be cor
rected. It is indeed a farce of the
broadcast and most ridiculous charac-
ter that we have laws with conse-
quences for attractions attached, and
when convicted of violation the vic
lator has only to ask grace at the
hands of the city fathers to en-
able him to walk out in
to the broad open sunlight
free, untainted and unmulcted.
1t is all the sheerest folly to think of
maintaining government without
laws, and laws are without force and
effect unless there are penalties and of
course it follows if the penalties are
showed aside or wiped out the whole
intent is destroyed. In the case of
thesix shooter, as long as men may
carry them, just SO long will they do
SO, and as long as the means to COM
NIT murder are at hand in moments
of phrensy, so long murder will be
committed. We have wise and
wholesome laws for the protec-
ten of society in this way,
but when the city government
steps in between the outraged majesty
of the law and the criminal who VIC
lates it, practically we are without |
law. But there is worse feature to
all of this. By such action the coun-
Gil becomes directly responsible for I
crime, for such crimes as are commit
ted in the city by the implement we
have named. As citizens, they suffer
as others do. But if it were possible

The National Cash Balance.

The action of the Minnesota democ.
racy on Thursday was harmonious
and wise, and their resolutions on the
subject of the tariff and the national
cash balance challenges the admira-
ton of the honest masses of the party
everywhere. The wonderful boards
of money now piled in the treasury
and Cutting every vault and corridor
is a standing menace to the govern
ment and a bid for corruption and
dishonesty in every way. It was
originally wrung from the people by
high taxation, not upon the luxuries
of their life but it came by and

that special punishment could be
melted out to them because of their
misdirected sympathy with the pistol
brigade, it should be done.
In the days which are past the pis- !
tol has wrought widespread evil in
the fair capital city OF Texas. They
are by no means so remote either that
men have lost their recollection of the
occurrences or their evil effects upon
real values, and the good opinion of
the place upon which these are based.
And still the city council steps to the
front and proposes to protect the pis-
tolers. They say by this policy that
men may carry arms and use them,
too, and yet suffer none of the evil
consequences which ought to attach
to the practice here, as in other places
They also withdraw from the city
treasury a certain revenue which
otherwise the city might legitl-
mately retain, not only to her
direct pecuniary advantage. but in a
moral sense by the wholesome re-
straint which heavy fine always ex-
ercises when 1t Is vigorously collect
cd and permanently retained.
The fact is, THE STATESMAN is
afraid that the city council of Austin
Is composed of gentlemen who have
soft hearts in their bosoms, too infer
nally soft for service in western

Political Cleanliness,

The time was once when southern
politics were clean. Money had no
place where conclusions were being
tried, or in determining the fitness of
men. 1t is vastly different to-day.
Money rules the primaries, rules the
convention and is omnipotent at the
ballot box. 1t is grave, an alarming,
an uncomplimentary fact. The south
is fast wheeling into line where stand
the men, and where the Influences are
found which have so long and with
such absolute certainty retarded and
held back the west, and which has
bound her helplessly to the
grinding and avaricious mo-
nopolies of the east. But for
money the protectionists would have
been downed long since. The manu-
facturer's association Of Pennsylvania
pay Sam Randall and w. d. Kelly each
$4,000 per annum to defend them be-
fore the people as well as before con-
congress. One of these gentlemen is a
democrat. the other republican, and
they are in congress from contiguous
districts, and both are able and devoted
men. The money business does not
stop with these two illustrious men
1t is piled corruptingly to influence
the sentiments of the toiling laborers
against their own plainly understood
good. Pays them for forging their own
chains as it does for wearing them
always In the CALLING and ignoble
servitude Of the monopolists. In
New York, the mill operatives, the
longshore men and the laborers, take |
their pro rata and vote for the mon
opolists with the utmost docility, and
with monotonous regularity. There
Is no thought of rebellion. There Is
no hope of escape Time was once
when it was considered disgraceful |
in the south, and dishonorable to the
last degree, to either buy or sell
vote, or any sort of political infiu- |
ence or service. Not so now. Now
men estimate here as they do north
the original cost OF election and
place against that, the salary

District Attorney.

Pending the democratic nomination
for district attorney, would it not be
well to have from the aspirants for
that important Office, a declaration of
their views and purposes, in regard to
the enforcement of the gambling and
liquor laws? These laws are con-
stantly and almost openly violated in
Austin, with the full knowledge of
every well informed citizen, and |
scarcely legal protest is raised; and |
especially Is this violation flagrantand
noticeable on the Sabbath. The recent
example by the county attorney, at
Dallas, affords ground for encourage
ment to the friends of law and moral
ity, as well as a severe rebuke to deri-
lict county and district attorneys.
Perhaps there was no city in Texas
where the gamblers were more thor
oughly intrenched, and felt them
selves more secure from the clutches
Of the law, than in Dallas. They
were in greater numbers than in Aus
tin. They pursued their avocation as
openly and deflantly as they do here.
The judges, the county attorney, the
grand jurors and the magistrate walk
, ed by the open doors of gambling
: houses for years, and heard the click
/ Of the chips and the call of
} the dealers. Good citizens, moral
q men bowed their heads in despair
}. This was the condition of affairs al
e Dallas, much the same as 1t is here
0 except in greater force, when the pres
g ent county attorney was elected. He
g proved to be not merely man o.
| brains, but a man of moral force. No
+ merely Jealous politician, but a goo'
q citizen who felt the obligation of hi
@ oath of office, and the courage to put
d in force his convictions of duty. 4
c, lew bold, decisive strokes and the maj
d esty of the law is indicated, and opel
q gambling is at an end in Dallas. So
20 could be in Austin. We have tn
le same laws, a good judge and stron
le ger moral element in proportion t
1t numbers than Dallas had.
j. Wenee an able, fearless district a.
a torney; one who will see that grand il
ne rors are properly selected, that they al
n properly aided and encouraged in the
-. Investigations, and evidence secure
for the conviction OF criminals. Tt
people should not guess at the man fl
:. this important work.
IA If there be such a man in our mid
u who wants the attorneyship let hi
: avow himself able and willing to
NC this work, and the moral sentiment
~ the community will elect him, If TIT
NC believe him.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-06-05

Mr.. UPsoN isn't in the race, be-
cause the Express knows not of it.
That rule would block out many an
aspirant and throw doubt around
many an event which has already
been accepted as part of the history
of the times. 1t is wonderful how
little real political knowledge is re-
quired to run some political papers,
and also how little democracy one is
compelled to have to run a democratic
paper, or how little democracy is neo-
essary to entitle one to represent a
democratic district in congress.
