paper jealous of the city's growth and its
own welfare, would hesitate long before
backing a man for position, who would
crush an industry the life of the town
and its own best earnest of success. SO
that the Posts endorsement means simply
this: That it Will not second the cry of
Terrells detractors, who charge he would
crush out railroads, or at best so hamper
them as to annul their influence and bene-
fits. 1t means the Post understands and
will abet Terrell's honest and able efforts
to strip from railroads their abuses, and
render them the better servants of the
people, the more fitted to develop and en-
rich the state, while at the same time
yielding the proprietors an honest and
handsome support. 1t means that the cry
of the maligners is well understood, their
motive to deceive and to shun the real is
sue is known, that Terrell is appreciated,
his work applauded and that his efforts
will win with the people and with their
representatives

TEXAS MISJUDGED.

The Philadelphia Record, of the 18th,
has the following editorial:
If Texas were still the Lone Star" she
might war with Mexico over Cutting to
her hearts content, with nobody to say
nay. But now Texas has no more interest
in this dispute with Mexico than has Mas
sachusetts or Pennsylvania. While nego-
tiations are pending it is the duty of the
government to see to it that turbulent
spirits IN Texas do not commit a breach
of the peace; and this duty accounts for
the military activity on the Rio Grande.
1t seems the north will never treat the
south in a spirit of perfectly fair play.
The clipping is thoroughly false in every
particular, in statement and insinuation.
Texas has more interest in the dispute
than Massachusetts or Pennsylvania
Whose long border line has been the
scene of pillage and bloodshed; whose
people have been worried, robbed and
killed: whose laws have been openly VIC
lated and authority despised! Has il
been Texas or those northern states! TIC
Texas, this question settled for the right
means security and honor among the
homes of the people. To those northern
states, nothing, except wherein the United
States are concerned, in whose glory
Texas has as much pride as any northern
state dare boast of.
The other charge is equally as untrue
Troops are not being sent to the Ric
Grande to restrain Texans from lawless
ness. Heaven knows, opportunities IL
the past have been furnished for Texas tC
take the stand insinuated. But Texa:
while chivarous, is also long suffering
and loyal. Her governor has referred the
matter to the authorities in Washington
and in manly words besought their inter
ference. The matter is beyond his juris
diction-he would not interfere with
vested rights. Nor will any loyal son OF
Texas move in such cause till those il
authority have spoken.
The fling was petty-but the shat
goes harmlessly by. Texas strong in he
sense of might, right and honor can vel
afford to disregard such petty jealousy
such inane attacks.

THE PLATFORM QUALIFIED.

The platform established at Galveston
has the excellence of brevity, for which
good we think has been sacrificed. Not
to discuss the Expenditure, Judiciary,
Educational, Land, Internal improvement,
Protection of Corporations, Railways,
Lien, Local Option and National Protec-
ton planks, which we heartily commend
as most excellent, we do think the first
plank in sweeping approval of the ad-
ministration, in the absence of certain
things that should have gone into the
Platform, is too broad and possibly mis-
leading.
We mean this: In view of what Ran
dali, the so-called democrat with strong
republican proclivities, has kept the ma
jority party in congress from doing in the
way of tariff regulation, the administration
has signally failed in accomplishing a
fundamental principle of the democratic
party, to gain free trade, or at least have
tariff for Revenue only. This, doubt
less, was not Cleveland's fault, but his ad-
ministration is responsible for inactiOn in
the matter. And it was only right for the
committee framing the platform at Gal
weston, and expressing such satisfaction
with the administration, to make this ex-
planatory exception.
And, egain, a like qualification should
have been made, because of Cleveland's
silver policy. Silver coinage is cardinal
wish of the south and the west 49, they
stand as a unity in this cause. The de-
mocracy of these sections know this and
should recognize it,
But it is thought the intent of the
plank was more to indorse the man, than
some of the policies he and his party
should have favored and adopted - and
this is thought because of the phrase
ology-"and testify our confidence in his
ability, purity and integrity With this
view we say, amen with all our hearts.
He is, We think, intrinsically man among
men, of sterling worth, of noble purpose
and unyielding determination. A man
that in time will work out his party's will
surely and successfully. We can then af
ford to wait in the assurance of tna
victory.

FELIX SMITHS CHANGE IN POLITICS.

The republican county ticket put forth
by the convention on Saturday last, is one
that was confidently expected, save in one
instance. As was predicted, the four gem
tleman some time since announced as in
dependent candidates, now also figure on
the republican ticket. They have repudi-
ated their party under which they first
gained Office, and can now only claim to
be pendents,or which is infinitely bet
ter, Republicans. These men may gain
their object, the republican vote of the
county, but they surely will not get a
single vote of true and consistent demo-
crat.
The exception mentioned above is Mr..
Felix Smith. This gentleman's career in
this canvass is indeed anomalous. He
was chairman on rules and permanent
organization at the county democratic
convention, was appointed delegate to
the state, congressional and district demo
cratic conventions, and now, before the
meeting of the latter convention, he is
placed fair and square on the republican
ticket as a candidate for the legislature
He was in Galveston, bedecked with the
badge of democratic delegate, which he
took off, and then returned to Austin be-
fore the business for which he was sent to
the convention was near finished that he
might be on hand at the county republi,
can convention and there receive the nom
nation for the legislature.
Mr.. Felix Smith has claimed to be a
democrat. He served in the 18th and 18th
legislatures only because he was thought
to be such, but this, and his recent prom
inence in this countys politics, are given
fiat contradiction in his present position
on republican ticket. A new era has ar
Eved in politics when man can one day
vote Oil the platform, and make
the nominations of the democratic
party and the next, submit himself to be
the standard bearer of the republican
party, and thus pledge himself to fight and
if possible, annihilate the platform and
nominees he has just help create; ant
this, too, while pretending to own allie
glance to only one party, aud to be an un
questioned and exemplary democrat.
Mr.. Smith has over-reached himself
1t is understood that committee waiteC
upon him and gained his permission tc
use his name as one of the republican can
didates for the legislature. No refusal OF
the rendered nomination has come from
him, he is bound to his new idol and mus
be shivered with it. The stalwart men Of
this county will no longer submit to sucl
double dealing. The decree has gone
forth. Mr.. Felix Smith is Political,
Dead.

MEET THE ISSUE sQUARELY.

The San Antonio Times of the 10th,
thus remarks:
The AUSTIN STATESMAN says 'the state
and its people owe too much to railroads
to inuagurate any senseless crusade
against them, for which there is no cause
or excuse" And yet that same journal
supports for the United States senate one
A. W. Terrell, who denounces railroad
corporations as public robbers, and en-
deavors in his speeches to excite the pre-
JUDGES and in1ame the passions of the
people against every incorporated enter
prise in Texas. The STATESMAN doesn't
worry itself very much upon the score of
consistency.
Such a senseless fling is worthy of the
pen that wrote it. 1t is characteristic of
children, unlettered and biased persons to
and to find in it sole and sufficient rea-
son and cause of action. The Times can
choose its class among the three.
Judge Terrell is waging no "senseless
crusade" against railroads. In burning
words before the convention at Galveston,
he gave the railroads their full need of
praise. He gloried in what they had done;
he extolled their enriching and develop
ing powers, but he warned against their
tendency when under the control
of soulless corporations, they are per-
verified to enrich the few at the expense of
|
the many, when they build up huge for
tunes by water stocks, the interest upon
which is wrung from the hard laboring
farmer by increased freight rates imposed
upon the necessaries of life. No man
better than Terrell appreciates the vast
good of railroad and other corporations,
no man more clearly sees the evils to
which they can SO easily be subverted.
He is a statesman with brain and ability
above the consideration of one side of IL
question, and with manhood strong
enough to fearlessly declare his convic-
tons, not needing the bounding of his
enemies and their bitter, jealous cry of
demagogue. The people know the issue
he has clearly drawn. They know his aim
is to benefit them by combining corpora
tions to their Legitimate field, and only
REFRESHING them where they have ex-
ceeded the intent that gave them birth,
and in that unwonted stretch of power
are expressing the people whom they
should serve and benefit. 1t will not do
the fair, square issue cannot be lodged
Terrell meets it like man, anG his enc
mics must fight him on the same broad
plain.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-19

The San Antonio Express says edi-
torially:
"The reports of the state convention
sent to the morning press of Texas last
week we're the fullest, most complete in
every way, and written in the most at
tractive and interesting style, of any state
convention ever held in Texas. Nearly all
of it was the work of Mr.. II. S. Garfield,
of the Express staff detailed for the pur
pose, and to that gentleman the hundreds
of thousands of readers of newspapers in
Texas are indebted, in large measure,
for the pleasure they derived from read
ing the proceedings of the convention"
The Express fails to mention and give
Just credit to Mr.. T. II. Wheeless, detailed
for the convention by The STATESMAN.
Mr. Wheeless is one of the very best
stenographers in the state. He and Mr..
Garfield worked together during the con-
vention-and but for his most valuable
assistance, il would have been impossible
for Mr.. Garfield TO have furnished the
splendid Associated Press report that was
sent out. 1t was beyond the work of one
man to accomplish, and infinite credit is
due Mr.. Wheeless for his tireless and eff
ficient services. Mr.. Wheeless' special
kilograms to The STATESMAN were also
very ine, and rendered the convention re
port the most complete ever given.

person. extra territorial, sins Against the
laws of any state, when he is found "volun-
tarily" on the soil of that state, he is liza
BILE to arrest. Lapse of tine does not
protect a fugitive from justice,
but upon his return to the
state, where the crime was committed,
either voluntarily or from force, he Is
subject to arrest, trial and punishment.
This law has been divided up in its appli-
cation to nations as separate powers. The
extradition laws provide for a forcible re-
turn of certain classes of criminals, and in
the law above cited is found regulation
for the case, where the offense is not grave
enough to call for the stern hand of ex-
tradition, but when the offender volunta-
rily is found upon the soil of the nation
sinned against, he renders himself liable
to arrest. In such cases, the policy Is
'keep away"
1t is alleged that Cutting, when arrested,
was on the Mexican side of the river,
there OF his own volition and engaged IN
distributing the sheet containing the libel
GUS matter complained of. The pubica-
ton of this matter on the American
soil or, that of any other nation,
was in violation of the Mexican law,
and when the author voluntarily put
himself in the power of the Mexican gov
eminent he was, according to international
law liable to arrest at the hands of that
government
This is the spirit of that law regulating
the intercourse Of nations; creature of
the growth of centuries, having as its
Judges the individual nations, and as its
final resort in times of diplomatic failure,
the one remedy-force. Behind this law
Mexico now plants herself, and justly so,
if this case stood alone, and the facts as
cited are true. But almost instantaneously
with the CUTTING case, comes the foul
murder to which some Texas officials
loaned themselves. This latter was case
of extradition, brutally perpetrated
Coming as they do, and being only part
of the many instances of contempt hurled
by Mexico into the face of Texas directly
but also incidentally befOuling the honor
of the United States-the question de
mands immediate and final answer
Where is all this to stop? Is
continued immunity forever to foster
an arrogant assumption to do as chance
or desire dictate? Is Mexico to spurn us
as she pleases and go UNPUBLISHED, and
even without a protest going forth from
us? Bayard Is trained lawyer; he knew
the international principle now sought tC
be availed of by Mexico-and yet he made
the demand on Mexico. Facts barring
the application of this law must have
been in his possession before demand
was made; or, counting up the unavenged
past, and adding the crying shames o
the present, he decided to make a ties
case, settling our relations with Mexico
for all time. We have confidence in Cleve
land and Bayard, and whatever comes, WE
think our government will stand fortt
