Hearing that q young lady was be-
ing tatsooed for exhibition by a New
York artist at SINNERS Stock Yard
Hotel, a reporter went to that hostolrY,
situated at the corner of John and
Livingston streets. Professor Edwin
Thomas, Of New York, was met IN the
Office, and expressed a Willingness to
introduce a reporter to his subject
Entering an upstairs apartment, a
young lady wss discovered reclining
upon a sofa. She was slight Of form
and Of medium height. Two bare feet
protruded from a blanket which enyel-
oped her limbs, while a shawl was
drawn over her shoulders, She was
Of light and graceful form, and had an
intelligent bat not handsome face. As
the reporter entered she greeted him
with smile, and apologized for not
being able to get up, saying that her
left leg was SO swollen that she was
unable to put it to the floor Miss
Grace, as she was introduced, proved a
very intelligent talker. and enter
tanned her guest for an hour or more
discussing various topics, She is
an enthusiast on the subject Of tattoo
ing. and takes great interest in the
work as It progresses. She has even
attempted to do some of It herself or a
small scale. At the suggestion Of Mr.
Thompson. she threw aside her blanket
and displayed to view the marvellous
and intricate designs that cover her
limbs. On the ankle Of the left leg is
a wreath of leaves. bearing the cross
Of St James. Above and occupying a
prominent position on the front Of the
leg IS a strange representation Of the
eraeihxion, with the city of Jerusalem
IN the background A number Of
sOrowing figures are grouped around.
At the knee the scene changes, as upon
the knee-cap IS a large dahlia rose
with a swarm Of Candy butterflies
hevering above it. Further up and
extending to the thigh Bope sits lean
ing upon an anchor, while a feet Of
ships Is heading toward her on the enc /
hand and little vine-clad cottage
nestles IN the foliage on the other.
Tho English coat-of-arms adorns the
rear view. The right leg Is not less
SLOWLY decorated. Below the knee is
q storm scene. with alighthouse in the /
foreground. on which is tattooea the
memorable words Of Perry. Never /
give up the ship. A feet Of storm
tossed ships Is depicted heading toward /
the breakers in=the background, which 1
the beacon light makes prominent.
Together With this elaborate design /
are emblems Of the knights Of P > thias.
On the knee-cap Is an immense rose,
from behind which the smiling faces
Of two pretty children arc peeping.
The Goddess Of Liberty and q scantily-
clad ballet dancer are she prominent
designs on the upper limb, where the
American coat-of-arms was also being
outlined.

in a Bad Way.

The Express yesterday simply begs
the question when it publishes the re-
marks of the state papers ABOUT the
treatment of the Thompson assassi-
nation. What do the papers know of
the real facts. or how many of them
have stopped to put the rule of COM
mon sense upon the Express savage
gloating over the foul murder of a
man, who, while bad enough, God
knows, was still infinitely better than
his assassins. They had all of his vi
ces and not single one of his virtues,
and yet according to the Express they
did ga good-night's work" when they
shot him to death as the veriest
savages on earth would have done.
We misread San Antonio and her in
telligent people sadly, if they have
not already spoken in severe terms
both of the dastardly murder and of
the compensation Its perpetrators
have had at the hands of its leading
paper. The course pursued by the
Express has been as savage, as bloody
and as far away from the true spirit,
and differing only in degree of turpi-
tude from that of the men who coolly
planned and remorsely murdered a
man of whom they were only afraid.
God! what is this fair land of ours
coming to, when assassination is held
up and commended as justifiable.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-03-20
Texas congressman.

We are profoundly sorry to see the
immense effort being made to foist the
Texas congressman upon the conven-
ton as delegates to the national con-
vention. The effort comes directly
from Washington, and is traceable di-
rectly to the congressman, or rather
some of them, themselves. A suspi-
cion is at once excited that the Wash
iDgton influences are to prevail in the
Texas delegation to the national con-
vention rather than those of home.
This is a species of concentration
which ought to be very promptly sat
down upon, and very effectually too
at the same time. We do not want
the Washington idea to prevail in the
convention. 1t is too much of six
up" and it indicates that degree of or
ganization in party matters among
the representatives, which has grown
to be rather more than mere suspi-
cinn of a congressional ring, to
parcel out among the favored
few, not only the fat places
in politics, but the formation and di-
rection of party sentiment and policy.
1t is good thing for the congressman
we grant, but it is hard circum-
stance for the rank and file of Texan
democracy. We do not want the
Texan congressional delegation alone
represented in the national conven-
ton; we want the delegates to come
hot from the people of Texas, imbued
with their sentiments on tariff, on
commerce, on finance and on public
policy generally. We don't care to
have Texas represent simply the SEN
timents prevailing in our delegation
at Washington, in the corridors of the
capitol and the fashionable sa-
Ions of that city. We may be
a little old-fogyish, or so in this
thing, but still we are voicing the en-
tire public sentiment of Texas in it.
We elect congressman to represent the
material interests of the state in con-

gress. Wedo not elect them to voice
or argue the views of factions and
feelings of the party. Theirs is
purely non -partizan position. That of
a delegate to the convention is only
partizan, nothing more, nothing less.
The popular theory is that member
OF congress has other fish to fry; that
he is looking after the duties
of his position too closely to afford
him much time to wrangle and strug-
gle over party spoils in either a ma
tional or a state convention. Then
too moIesty ought to go for some
thing. This self urging upon
the part of the congressman is dis
gushing, especially so, when we recall
the fact, of which they are perfectly
cogniZant themselves that there are
many meritorious and devoted men,
bers of the party at home, who have
borne and are now bearing the bur-
den and enduring the heat of the day,
all without hope or expectation of
reward. They naturally covet the
distinction of the place of delegate to
the national convention, and as the
place is one peculiarly of honor alone.
attended by considerable expense,
they should not find it occupied by men
to their exclusion, who have already
had honor sufficient. There is an old
fashioned principle of fairness and
justice in this thing which ought to
be considered, as well as the question
of fitness. A party organization
never looses anything by adhering to
it, and it is often fatally injured by
departing from it.
If our congressman consider the
places they hold as beneath their mer.
its, they have competent remedy at
hand at all times. They can resign
But if on the other hand they are sat-
isfied, they should not seek to step in
before others, simply because they ara
congressman. This is the view the
people will take-are taking, in fact
and they will be very likely to EN-
phasize it in no doubtful way
when they assemble in convention
this summer. The democracy Of
Texas, in thus submitting to incip ent
congressional dictation, are commit
ting a grave fault. They ought tt
correct it, and that very promptly

The Old Ticket.

AS principle the old ticket will not
do. 1t has died, and its influences are
those of very dead past. The aims,
purposes and theories of Mr.. Tilden
of twenty or even fifteen years since
were useful and operative. His was
the hand which grappled the colossal
frauds of New York City and state,
and which choked the miserably cor
rupt life out of them. 1t was then
the hand of power. 1t was replete
with sublime strength, and its mis-
sion was well and nobly performed.
But that hand is palsied with age
now. The eye bright with intel
igent care. for the good of the
country ard with high purpose
and unselfish ambition has paled
before the years of God. 1t is the
yearful completion of perfected life,
only waiting for the summons from
the angels to "come up higher" He
is done with earthly ambitions of a
personal character, but men like Mr..
Tilden, as long as they remain to bless
the earth with their presence, feel and
express unbounded interest in it's well
fare. This natural and commendable
interest has long been construed into
the purposes of an ambition to again
stand at the helm. 1t is subject of
profound regret to every patriotic
democrat that age has so adj
vanced in his case that it is
impossible to re-elect him president
and thus show patriotic republicans
how vast mistake they made when
they counted him out, and Hayes in
In this connection we wish to say
and to emphasize the remark too, in
a peculiar way: 1t comes in exceed
ing bad grace for democrats to speak
disrespectfully, flippantly or sneering-
ly of this illustIious man, this true
father in our democratic Israel, 1t
ought to stop. Consideration for the
feelings of hundreds of thousands of
devoted friends of the statesman as
well as for his own, and the
self-respect of the detractors them
selves ought to seal their lips for all
the future. A great man is growing
old, lettering from the stage of life
where he has performed grand part.
Respectful homage and "a decent sense
of manly propriety should scatter
flowers, not jibes and jeers in the
pathway of the dying sage.

THE people of Austin and of this
senatorial district have cause to re
gret that Judge Terrell declines to
become a candidate for reelection to
the senate. During his term Judge
Terrell has rendered most valuable
service, not only to his constituents.
but to the state at large. 1t is due to
his efforts that Texas now has under
construction the finest capitol build
ing in the United States, out
side of Washington, and his
services in pushing forward the state
university, and securing for it i'm
mense donations of public land are
well known. Through his ability and
untiring energy liberal appropria-
lions have been obtained for the vari-
GUS charitable institutions of the state
at Austin. Judge Terrell has been an
efficient and faithful public servant
and, it can be said without hesitation,
has done more for Austin than all OF
his predecessors. He could be elected
without opposition, but has deter.
mined not to be candidate for any
Office at the coming elections.
