A san Antonio member of Hoods old
Texas brigade. and who has been deeply
interested in the welfare of the general
orphan children, handed an Express re-
porter the following clipping yesterday.
with a request to publish it for the benefit
of other members of the brigade.

to an Atlanta, Ga, Constitution represen-
tative. "how many of the contributors to
the fund for the orphans of General Hood
know what has become of either the
money or the children" Interest being
expressed, he said: Il happen to know
all about them. Anna and Ethel. the old
est twins, have home with Mr.. and
Mrs. John S. Morris, of New Or
leans, with whom Duncan, the
six year-old, also lives. john. the eight
year-old boy, lives with Mr.. and Mrs. d.

Louisiana gave $5,2S2.l5, and Georgia
came next with $3,5S0.97, of which $2,S9O
came through the Constitution, besides a
purse of $500 sent by Atlanta Ga, for

already increased $4,000 in value. The
children all being provided with homes,
education, etc, the interest on the bonds

are grown the fund ought to be enough
to give each of the children about $70W
IA snur little sum to start life with.

jabot of the lace, reaching from the foot
up the skirt about fifteen inches, and fin
ished with bows and ends of white satin
ribbon. This side is ornamented at vari-
Gus points with bows of white satin rib
bon and orange blossoms. The corsage is
hardly finished, but one can see the "
shaped neck and artistic collar flaring at
odd spaces from the neck to the point of

If Austin does not now awaken from its
long old rip Van Wrinkle" sleep of the
past. and give the STATESMAN that favor
and support it so deseryedly commands
at theic hands, then it should reap the
harvest of the siothful seed so long sown
in the Lore Stars capitol field of pride
and glory. am glad to know that the
Austin STATESMAN needs no enconium of
mine. no praise of others, naught but the
dollar and friendships aid to furnish it
with replenishing dust 10 its now gold
en-, gaudy wings, that are soaring the in
tehectual elements of our great state,
Texas, and nothing but expressions of
pride greet it on all sides.

Special Correspondence to The Statesman.
KoERrH, January G.--The new year of
1886 finds us all down here awake and
ready to respond to the duties of another
twelve tirelsss menths in every sense OF
the phraze.
Our Christmas holidays were lively anG
happy, and naught of evil mishap seemed
to mar the hilarious element of enjoy
ment that pervaded our peaceful county
and peaceful little burg
We have had a pleasant winter, yet
enough cold to save meat killed for an
other seasons fray with the wolf-hunger
created by that cursed contest-labor-
that proves the greatest blessing to man
and the par excellence of all other pleas
ures when properly accepted and appreci-
ated.
This section is so healthy and peaceful
we have nothing of sensational charac-
Ter to write; no murders, no deaths, yet
plenty of births and marriages, that might
fill page of your worthy journal.
Sorry to see Austin in such a squirm
over its dark record of crime. Every one
sympathizes with our grand capital me-
tropolis. and hope to see it rid of those
blood thirsty fiends that seem to have In
tested its limits for the past year.
1t does look like that SO near to the cen
tralized point of all our wisdom, even un-
der the eyes, as it we're, of our law makers
that something would be done to ferre'
out this hellish pest to your city's peace
and prosperity, if you hal to make every

CRANKS.
WASHINGTON Gazette.

washington bHZeIJe
Since earliest creation ''cranks' have
ever been part and parcel of this mum
dane sphere. But it is not with those of
centuries ago this article will deal. II is
those of latter ages we shall discuss, and
the effect of crank influence upon Amer
leans. 1t is the universally accepted fact
that he who differs from his fellow-men,
and alone presents his ideas against an
unanimous adverse opinion, is termed a
"crank'-one whose mental capacities are
unsound and Enthusiastically, and whose
opinions are deemed worthless. 1t may
be, and often does happen, that the very
arguments he advances in support of his
opinion are subsequently discovered to
have been sound, sensible logic, but does
the cranky individual get the benefit of
the discovery? Not bit He is only re-
membered, if at all, as a "crank."
These might be well called sensible
cranks-if such an anomaly be permis-
sible. But, on the other hand, the in
fuence of "cranks"-men whose opinions
are dangerous and the views they advocate
| inimical to the best interest of mankind
the influence of these mems most per-
niciOus and we fear is being felt to con-
siderable extent throughout our land. A
number of these have allied themselves
with the labor movement, thinking that
among those who toll for their daily
bread they will find the most willing listen
ers, and who will be the most easily cor
rupted by their insidious reasoning they
deeming the workingmen of this country
on an intellectual par with those of Eu-
rope--incapable of self reasoning and be,
levers only in success through brute
force.
But herein is where these cranky agita.
tors have "reckoned without their host.
The workingmen of this country are not
of the brute humanity. They are men
made in Gods own image, endowed witt
those powers spiritual and intellectual
which enable them to discern between the
right and wrong, and to fight with all the
powers of mind for that which they
shonld have.
This is the logic that will win. 1t il
such as this that will enable them to make
the laws applicable to all. 1t is this thai
will bring peace and contentment tc
households where before was unhap
piness and suffering. 1t is this thai
will frown down STRIKES" robberies ant
assinations. It's not brute force, but
the plain, truthful, irresistible logic of
the sensible mind that will ever protect
the workingmen of this country from in
Jury and oppression. A brighter day il
dawning for the labor forces of our land
Ia lieu of being led to idleness and misery
they are becoming the leaders the lead
ers of prosperity to themselves and hap
piness to these glorious United States
The American workingman intellectual!
has no superior on earth. There are tt
be found in the labor ranks of this coun
try men whose powers of mind and saga
cious craftsmanship command the admi
ration of the world. They are not in iso
lated cases either. There are a grea
many of them, and there is no fear tina
they will be imposed upon by the 'crank.

THE LATE MURDERS.
A FLAT DENIAL FROM ONE OF
AUSTIN'S HACK DRIVERS.

The STATESMAN made every effort yes
terday known to reportorIal news-gather-
ing to obtain possession of some solid
facts about the late mysterious murders,
but in every instance the
EFFoGT FAILED.
Questioning and cross examining PROV
cd of no avail, for if in his rounds, the
reporter met any one who really knows
anything, he was sure not to give it
away" The readers of The STATESMAN
must be patient, under all the circum-
stances. The truth is sure to come out,
and the crimson clouds which have envel-
oped

LEAVE THE CITY.
Already has the order of City Marshal
Lucy, to drive all tramps and Migrants
from the city, worked much good, and in
many localities insured feeling of secur-
ity for life and property. Notwithstand-
ing this wholesome state of affairs, how
ever there still remain some bad charac-
ters i'll our midst. Only last night, be-
tween the hours of seven and eight,
THE POLICE WE'RE SUMMONED
to watch house not block from Con-
gress avenue, where it was thought and
reported that some one was trying to
break in for no good purpose. Up to one
O'Clock this morning no one was seen to
return to the premises, although officers
were Ikeenly on the alert.
ApropGs to some of the rumors
ahoat in connection with the
DEATH OF MRS. PHILLIPS.
Mr.. Vim. Red, a public hack driver, has
asked The STATESMAN to say that the re-
port that Mrs. Phillips was riding in his
hack a couple of hours before she was
murdered, is also entirely false. He is of
the opinion that the report grew out of
the fact that he drove three ladies home
from Knights and Ladies of Honor
lodge meeting the night of the murder.
one of whom resides on the Phillips
block, and his hack was seen
GOING TO THAT LOCALITY.
Mr.. Red says that he feels these rumors
are doing great injustice to him and an
injury to his business, and The STATESMAN
regards it as simple justice to him that
his denial be given publicity. The ladies
he drove home are wives of honorable
citizens of Austin. whose names can be
obtained at any time upon inquiry. A
feeling of regard for their modesty
and innocence prompts the
OMISSION OF THEM
from any Connection with the terrible
deeds of last Christmas eve night
A reporter of The STATESMAN was in
formed by an officer yesterday that young
Phillips had recovered sufficiently to be
able to walk about in his room, and even
out into the yard, His attending physi-
clan could not be seen, for when the re-
porter called at his Office, twice. he was
absent on professional visits.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

There seems TO be something of q mud
die couceLniDg the county commissioner.
Mr.. Randolph, attorney for Jacob Jacobs,
who is about To institute proceedings TO
contest the election of W. P. Gould 10 the
office Of county commissioner claims
that Mr.. Gould was not eligible to the Of
nce of county commissioner at the time of
the election by reason of q section OF the
statute which provides ''that no person
holding any state, county, township or
city office, or any employe, officer or stock
holder In any railroad IN which the coun-
~ owns stock shall be eligible to the of
fee Of county commissioner" II appears
at the time of the election Mr.. Gould was q
township officer, being township clerk OF
Elmendaro township IN this county, ana
It also appears that one OF the causes for
contestIng a county office gwen by
statute ls: "When the contestes was not
elligIbls TO the office at the time of the
election" Ii /, should turn out 70 be the
case that Mr. Gould was not eligible to
the office at the time OF his election there
to, this fact would not entitle Mr.. Jacobs
to the position, although he received the
next highest number of votes Mr. Flick
niger, the present incumbent, would IN
doubleday hold over until a successor
could be elected agar hence. 1t will be
remembered that Cleveland was elected
president while holding the Office Of gov
ernor OF New York and did not resign
the latter until short time before his in
auguratioD. Still, we recognize the fact
that there Ia wide difference between the
positions mentioned. Yetas matter of
principle, statute or no statute, it seems to
us the cases are analogous.
