The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-12
THE POSITION TAKEN BY TEXAS.

The United States government has
been insulted and Mexico still has i'm
mupity. The positive demand of great
nation presupposes full consideration,
and an answering determination. Ma
tions being held more responsible than
individuals, when they move, no allow
ance is made for mistakes, but the deed
goes for what it is worth. The United
States government may have been hasty
in acting, but now stands committed be-
fore the world to the enforcement of its
positive demand made upon Mexico for
the release of Cutting. As Bayard pro-
perly says, the character of Cutting does
not figure in the case; the demand has
been made and must be enforced. The
cry is not for war, but for vindication
and indemnity. Texas, who suffers most
along her unprotected border of
thousand miles, will not al
low the mercenary appeal for peace,
coming from men pecuniarily interested
in Mexico and her lands, to dull the ear
of honor and justice at Washington.
Texas is as peacefully inclined a state as
can be found in the union, but she cannot
be trampled upon. She would not reck
lessly call down the horrors of bloody
war, but she would not purchase peace at
the price of honor. This delay at Wash
ington is most hurtful. Insolent Mexico
is marshalling her troops under the very
shadow of our forts. Texas positively
insists that Bayard shall at once enforce
his demand on Mexico, peaceably if pos
sible but let him enforce it.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-08-12
THE NEXT PLATFORM.

Possibly, the man to be chosen this
week as the standard bearer of the Texas
democracy is not so important as the
platform on which he and his party shall
appeal to the people for their suffrages.
We all know the principles laid down by
the democracy at the last state conven-
ton, and which was endorsed by the peo-
pie by over 100000 majority. The plat
form of 1884 was sound and for the time
being, adapted to the wants and wishes of
Texas.
But, new and unexpected issues have
arisen-issues that cannot be ignored, and
which must be faced. Among these is the
land question, involving vast interests, es
pecially affecting the school fund. 1t is
an issue that must be settled. The dem
ocratic party of this state owes it to
the people to clearly and emphatically de-
clare in the platform whether the
robbery of the school fund by foreign
corporations occupying the school lands
free, without rental, in defiance of the
state shall continue as now at the rate of
million dollars annually. 1t must say
whether these plunderers of the school do
main shall be forced to pay or get off the
lands.
The labor question cannot be ignored
not after all the anarchist diabolism-the
reign of terror in north Texas last spring
The more conservative portion of the
Texas people demand that the party

the incoming administration to the up.
holding of law and order against COM
munism, in whatever form manifested
and to the destruction of the boycott.
In the matter of corporations, some ex
preston of the democracy would be time
ly and proper-either a reiteration of the
previous position of the party on this
subject, or new policy seemingly de-
manded by the present situation of affairs
in this state. The temper of public opin
! ion appears to be in the direction of re,
