CAKES wITUOIlTE EGGS.

In little book just issued from the pres:

receipts are given for making cakes OF

der. Experienced housekeepers inform
US that this custom has already obtained
large precedence over old-fashioned meth,
dds in economical kitchens, and that the
product is frequently superior TO that
where eggs are used, and that less butter
is ais required for shortening purposes
The advantage is not alone in the saving
effected, but in the avoidance of the trou-
BILE attendant upon securing fresh eggs
and the annoyance of an occasional cake
spoiled by the accidental introduction of
an egg that has reached a little too nearly
the incubatory period The Royal Baking
Powder also invariably insures perfectly
light, sweet, and handsome cake, or when
used for griddle cakes to be eaten hot
enables their production in the shortest
possible space of time, and makes them
most tender and delicious. as well as en-
tirely wholesome. There is no other pre-
paration like it.

COUNTY FINANCES.

Facts and figures speak for themselves
The ledger representing the financial con.
dition of Travis county, indicates the
county is on healthy and solid basis
financially.
The bonded debt has been cut down to
total of $4,000, without any floating
debt. OF the $4,000 bonds outstand-
ing, eighteen have been called, that is to
say $4,000, and what is still more salts
factory, the cash is on hand at the county
treasury TO settle them. This leaves $780,
900, which represents at this time the
actual and net bonded debt of the county
of Tralis is.
This will be totally extinguished in
another year. As it is, the county may
be set down rs virtually out of debt-ow-
ing nothing-for $4,000 indebtedness
against assets amounting TO $l3,O00,O0O
in the shape of assessed property and
taxable wealth, counts but drop in the
bucket.
This highly satisfactory condition of
the county finances is, of course, the prac-
teal result of the policy pursued for
some years by the county government,
n policy endorsed and strictly followed by
Judge Fillmore and the commissioners
court, over whom he has presided. Thus
1t is likely our present county judge will
attain his wish of going out of Office leav-
ing the county totally free from any OBJ
tigation to the bondholders, and without
"A dollar of debt behind him. Few, if any
counties in the state can make such finan-
cial record as the county of Travis. All this
has been achieved at tax rate which has
meyer much bothered the people, being
now only 30 cents on the $780, the total
state and county tax amounting to but
S7l9 cents, including school tax, as against
/ II per cent in the city government. The
county of Travis is sound and solid.

WEEKLY STATESMAN.
ROSS AND THE EXAMINER.

General Ross denies that he has an or
gan, and says he is not responsible fol
what any paper says. This pr. ctically
repudiates the Examiner, whose editor
will now cool off. The misfortune is, Col.
Barlow has gone too far and left no gap
behind him through which to retreat from
the support of leader who thus throws
cold water upon him. Always leave your
self loophole, colonel
Do as The STATESMAN has done. We
have and do express decided preference
for Col Swain forg )vernor. But we have
said nothing that would prevent Us from
consistently supporting Gen. Ross. In
this race we don't propose to tie ourselves
solely to any mans coat tail, at least until
he is nominated by the convention of the
democratic party of Texas.

RAILWAY SYSTEMS.

If any one will take a map of Texas and
look southwest of Austin, it will be fonud
that roads already completed, and IN the
course of contemplation and of cohstruc
ton, form network of railway trans
portation that, seeking a northern out
let, will sweep west of Austin on the route
north, draining the entire northwestern
part of the state.
This is fixed system which can never
be altered, except with Austin as a com
mon center of connection for the rail
road thoroughfare of the southwest, unit
ing with the railroad thoroughfare of the
southeast of Texas, from which radi
n doube-track trunk line might run
northward. This is, however, only a
possibility, for the state is large enough,
under proper development, to employ
two main trunk lines to carry her pro-
ducts to western and eastern markets.
1t may be fixed fact that Aus
tin has irreyocably lost the
possibility of becoming such radii,
and that the railroad system
of western Texas will sweep far west of
the Capital city, but Austin has it yet in
her power to concentrate the system of
railways draining southeast Texas. Look
at the map again, and it will be seen that
Austin is in the immediate line north from
southeastern Texas, by which railroads
would gather the largest trade, but great
events are often dependent on small
causes.
The moment that railroad is built
from Bastrop to Taylor, Austin loses
this grand opportunity, and isolates her
self from the route of traffic from south
east Texas, just ms efrectually as she has
lost all the advantages offered by the H.
ternational and other projected railroad
routes on her western side. As stated, if
Austin had, at the proper time, used
proper efforts, she might have become the
radii from which both southern sections of
Texas would have main trunked in a
double-track freight road northward, but,
as that opportunity is gone, it would be
suicide to permit herself to be completely
isolated by road from Bastrop to Tay-
lor.
If such connection is made, Austin
would be in the condition of the general
with an army in an isolated position, and
her best business men would abandon her
to her fate, of drifting along dependent
entirely ON her natural advantages, of
fered by the fact of the location of the
state government and the university of
Texas, and dependent alone upon a limi-
ted custom from these sources for her
prosperity, which would be like a man of
splendid commercial capacities content
ing himself with keeping boarding
house. In fact, Austin would become
nothing more than general boarding
house for the convenience of Texas law
makers and university students.
Are the people of Austin content with

BETTER FRONTIER PROTECTION.

One very readily understands the ami
mus of the article in the San Antonio Elk
press in taking exception to an editoria
in The STATESMAN charging that the sta
tioning of the United States army at Sar
Antonio does not have the effect of pro
tecting the Texas border from the incur.
sions and raids of ruffians from the Mexi.
can side of the river.
The fact of the headquarters of the U.
S. army being in San Antonio is a fat
thing for that city, and no one can blame
the Express for its jealous defence of
those who are a great source of revenue.
The situation of the Express is
thoroughly appreciated and a distortion
of facts could even be pardoned under
the circumstances.
Situated as Texas is, there is, of course,
a necessity for military department in
the state, but the question which occurs
to sensible man is, whether it is not bet
ter to have that department situated
nearer the scene of their active duty to in
sure better protection.
The city of Washington is only about
five hours trip from New York, but does
anyone for an instant suppose that if
raids were being made from Virginia
every day or so that it would be deemed
close enough to keep the troops in New
York. This may seem absurd, bat it as
suredly applies to the case of San Anto-
MO and the Texas frontier The U. S.
government is bound to protect her citi-
zens from other nations, this fact is cer-
tain, and the only question is as to the
most practicable way of rendering protec
ton.
As matter of fact, is San Antonio the
point d'appui as regards the territory I'M
protected along the Rio Grande river?
Would not the establishment of smaller
posts along that river have better moral
effect than the collection of ten times the
number in a point far remote, as far as
these raiders are concerned? The Ex-
press should not view the question from
a standpoint of individual interest and
bias, but from that of protection of citi-
zens at any cost or odds. Let San An
tonic remain the headquarters of the de-
partment-ths base of their supplies, as
she necessarily would be-but let the
troops themselves be placed at point
where they can do the most good. OF
course the Express will not admit these
facts until it consents to rise above the
plane of local prejudice and give a just
and impartial opinion.
No one blames the Express. No, in
deed! Every one, on the contrary, ad-
mires its commendablO enterprise in find
ing specious reasons, or even sophistry,
to support its position, but in the trial of
the case it must be ruled out as an inter.
ested witness.
