The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-04-10

LIE STATESMAN
AUSTIN. TEXAS.
MARION MARTIN mixed 'em much.
THE Waco Examiner condemns the
'ost.
DYNAMITE and devilmentl Will it
ever cease?
THERE is surely something wrong
With old HaZen.
AND still THE STATESMAN meets
he requirements of an exacting read
ng public.
THE battle in the Carolinas, between
ne people and the flames, Is growing
interesting.
SAN ANTONIO is becoming nearly
IS famous for sensations as Dallas was
low yChho oAANC.
THE Martin interview is travelling.
It is astonishing how much racket a
little thing makes sometimes.
IT is municipal and county indebt-
einess from which Texas has to ex-
pect her future difficulties in finan-
cial way
THE tar heels are having another
hot time of it just now. Doubtless
Zeb Vance is sorry, very sorry, thai
he Is not South Carolinian, as the
Post would have him.
STORMS, railroad accidents ant
steamer disasters seem to move IL
groups. 1t will be curious to not
the telegraph reports now that thes
have commenced again.
THE Fort Worth Gazette in dig
nilied article treats atlength and quit
severely the Posts late action in Civ
ing publicity to an unfounded charg
as to the News financial difficulties.
If we had only a part of the hea
now enjoyed by the Carolinians, tn
temperature would be more to tn
mind of the average human barkin
machine. The weather is simply hol
rible.
IT is a great thing to be monarch
England, but the position does nc
raise one above the Ills and cares, 9
well as the sorrows and disappoin
ments of ordinary human men an
people.
ALL honor to the brave ex-federi
soldiers in congress who would ASST
to provide for the INDECENT remains
those iron battalions they learned
SO thoughtfully respect in the da.
, which tried mems souls.
ONE good effect of the News CT
down may denoted. Its smaller spa
curtails the state press vapidness
little. There is no rose without
thorn, and but few thorns witho1
roses, and this latter is an instance.
THE Herald takes very prop
view of the Posts onslaught upon Il
News. NOW if the Herald would on
reconstruct on the two thirds rule
little, it would be in promising co
dition for conversion to democracy.
THE STATESMAN is always ia
whether it is friendly or not. That
something the News cannot say trut
fully. IL has fairness for only tho
who play the sycophant or toady
some one of the many ways now
voguei in this state.
The heart of the editor of Tt
STATESMAN was made glad yesterd;
by a CLINT at the bright face of L
Saturday Opinion, published at Sou
Pueblo, Colorado, by his good frien
Wayland & Holding. 1t was a VIII
per, tender and true, Of the vanish'
past, and brought some stirring,
well as some very sad memories bal
to us. it is splendid paper and
meeting with phenomenal success.
4 THE News is never so complete
surprised as when an unfrienIly p
per is fair to it. This indicates une
ringly that it is never fair to papt
against which it cherishes unfriend
sentiments. For a great newspap
-, the News is swayed by some excee
ingly small things. A little of the
binary good feeling attached to t
condition of even defective human
ty, could be infused into the Ne,
and do It's business prospects no We
violent injury.
MR.. ROBINSON, of the McKinn
Democrat, is another of those TO
editors who has no better sense tina
defend himself against the assaults
a bully, an official, bulldozing bull
even with the emphasis which
found only in man who stands at Il
breech of 4. six-shooter. Hurrah f
Robinsonl This will be a lovely couI
try when it gets so that the editor of
newspaper dare not criticise an offici
for fear the peace officer will take
pistol and whack him over the hea
or drive a charge of lead throua
him.
: LIKE two gladiators, or two Sui
vans, the Post and the Herald stand
the one in north, the other in SOU
Texas-glancing at each other, reac
to rush to the conflict. the one f,
division, and the other in defense
the integrity of our territory. II
real animus is, however, that Meth
knows exactly how that little col
missionership is going. The love b
tween the Post and the Hera
wouldn't feed the multitude and pc
NIT the attendants to take up mo-
than dozen baskets full of the fra,
ments.
