SAVERS AT BURNETT.

Mr.. Saysrs' effort at Burnet, yesterday,
was the first prominent appearance OF
that gentleman in the canvass, in the
Tenth district, which we can all see is go
ing to end in returning Major Sayers to
his seat in the house.
His speech yesterday was about what
might be expected from man like our
Tenth district representative, distin-
guished alike for practical insight into
the wants, wishes and interests of the
people.
Two of the best points made by the dis
tinguished gentleman were on the denun-
citation of the Blair bill, and the Randall
faction: while he explained his position
on the tariff question, which, we all
knew before, harmonized with the views
of the people of Texas and of the south
Our Burnet correspondent says Mr.. Say
ers handled Randall without gloves, and
for this he should receive the thanks OF
his constituents throughout the district
even including the sheep men in the west.
If ever man or faction betrayed
a party, it has been done by Randall and
his protection followers in congress.
In denouncing the Blair bill, Major
Sayers represented the great body of the
democratic party of Texas, who want nc

TRANSLATED FROM RECENT MEN
ICAN PAPERS.


The Cronista says that in q fight near
New Laredo, between government forces
and those of Pablo Quintana, custom
guard named Farias was killed.
Revolutionists or bandits attacked a
train of carts between San Miguel and
Camargo and stole about $1,000 worth of
goods, shipped by the house Of Cross to
Sr. Castro Ortusca.
We learn from the Revista that Col.
Moves Hernandez completely defeated
the forces of the bandit Mauricio Cruz,
last Friday, at place called Tinaia Del
Graniino, in the jurisdiction of Bravo,
state of Nuevo Leon.
From the Cronista we learn that Jesus
Flores, arrested as a bandit and revolu-
ZIONIST, has been turned loose again. We
understand that he is the same Jesus
Flores wanted in Cameron county for
murder and horse stealing
The Eco says that the report that Srta.
Rosa Lara, the circus girl, was killed
the other day at Camargo, is false, and
that she is in Meir well and hearty. Per
haps the whole report was nothing more
than neat bit of advertising.
Last Friday night, at y Matamoras,
Tomas Alanis, ranchero 80 years of age,
committed suicide at the civil hospital by
hanging himself to the bars of one of the
windows with his sash. it is supposed
that insanity was the cause of the rash
act.
From the Mundo we learn that tecently,
near Cerralvo, Helaria Gonzales and Max
imo Gonzales, captured and hung'one Eel
Iciano Saenz. 1t appears that some years
ago Saenz ran away with the daughter of
Hilario, who was afterwards captured and
Saenz punished. Afterwards the 9irl mar
ried Maxine, and on the pair capturing
Saenz they killed him. Apparently bit
of rude, but not reprehensible Justice.

Resolved 4. That we are OPP
posed to the employment of con-
Wet labor upon the public works
of this state.
Resolved 10. 1t is the sense of
this convention that the legisla-
ture should, at the earliest mo-
ment, provide for the erection of
a house of correction, in which
minors and persons convicted of
petty offenses shall he confined,
without coming in contact with
hardened criminals, and without
enduring the disgrace which at
taches to person who has been
sent TO the peniteutiary.
Resolved >. That we are op-
posed to the leasing of convict la
Dor in any form, and that we IA
vor the passage of such laws as
will cOniine all conyicts within
the walls of the penitentiaries of
the state.
Resolved 6. That we denounce
the system of employing convict
labor which compels free labor
of American citizens TO come in
competition with it in the public
market.

Tenth. We believe that the
most direct way out of our pres
ent land complications is the I'M
conditional repeal of our present
lease system, and the sale of the
public lands only to actual set
tiers, We declare that all the
fences and other Improvements
illegally placed on public school
lands are a part of the reality,
as if they had been placed on
private property, and we demand
that the state shall at once take
control of these lands, and the
improvements thereon, and
prosecute all parties who may
unlawfully interfere with or de-
stroy the same, and we demand
that the encouragement shall
at once proceed to recover such
damages from trespassers on
these lands as have been Sis
tanned by Use and occupation
thereof.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-09-23

Resolved l. That we reaffirm
our confidence in and accept
ance of the principle set forth by
Abraham Lincoln in his message
to congress, in December, 1861, in
which he defined the relations of
the republican party to American
labor, and affirmed its super ority
to the mere capital it had created.
Resolved 2. That we stand to
and abide by the principles as set
forth by the martyred president,
a quarter of century since, in
which he affirmed the dignity of
labor and the right of the laborer
to Legislative protection, and that
we will do all IN our power to
make these principles effective in
our state and national govern
ment.
Resolved 3. That we recognize
the right of labor to part and
share in the profits of the wealth
itself has created, and that we
will do all in our power to har-
monte the interests of capital
and labor, and make the legisla-
ton of the state and nation as
equally protective of one as of the
other
Resolved Z. That we favor the
passage of such laws for the ar
bitration of all differences arising
between corporations and those
employed by them, as will most
effectively prevent strikes and Sc
cure harmony.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-09-23

That the republican party hay
ING ever been in favor of the edu-
cation of the masses to the fullest
extent within the means of the
government and the ability of the
people, favors the largest appro-
priations practicable by the state
for that purpose, and we do fur
Their endorse and approve of that
educational measure known as the
Blair bill, passed by the United
States senate. We are also in
favor of county superintendent
of public schools.

Ninth. We denounce the &C
ton of the democratic party in
giving away and nominally sell
ing the public lands for 80 cents
per acre to capitalists and capital
syndicates, just at a time when
they were becoming valuable,
thereby permitting them to
fence up whole counties and
prevent the settlement and civil
xation of the west, and we de-
mand the forfeiture of all land
grants to individuals and corpo-
rations where the title is not alb
solutely vested, and that these
lands, together with the public
domain, yet remaining, be re-
served for homesteads for our
citizens, and sold only to actual
settlers on long time, for the
benefit of the school fund.

Second. That we recognize it
as an immortal political axiom
that what is morally wrong can
never be politically right; that
the liquor traffic is "a prolific
source of crime, pauperism,
bribery, political corruption and
anarchy, and should be prohib-
tied by law.
Third. We declare that the
leading object of the prohibition
party of Texas is the suppress
sion by constitutional law, of the
manufacture and sale of intOXi-
eating liquors as a beverage, in
the state. being, in fact, a home
protection party, that we solicit
the cooperation in this grand
object of all the women in the
state.
Fourth That We denounce
the democratic party for its per
sistent and continued refusal to
submit to vote of the people of
Texas, a prohibitOry constitu-
tiOnal amendment, and charge
that their action is tyraniCal and
destructive of pure democratic
principles, and that we further
denounCe them for nominating
saloon stump speaker for gov
ernor of a christian people, and
, their action is an insult to the
morals of the state, and that this
| policy is being followed through
out the state in congressional
and other democratic nomina-
tons. We further charge that
the democratic and republican
parties are in league with the
liquor traffic in their national
and state organizations and adj
ministrations.
We demand of the next legis-
lature the submission of a con-
stitutional amendment to pro-
! hibit the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors, as a
beverage, in Texas. We demand
/ that the local option law be
amended so that it can be eff
GENTLY enforced by making its
, violation felony punishable by
confinement at hard labor in the
state penitentiary.
Sixth. We demand that our
state legislature erect a scientific
temperance restriction bill SINH
lar to the bill lately passed by
the congress of the United
States.
Twelfth. We hereby pledge
our cooperation and sympathy
to the national prohibition
party.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-09-23

Sixth-We pledge ourselves to
encourage and foster all works of
internal improvement and deyel-
opment of the manufacturing in
terests of the state.
Seventh-We denOunce unlaw-
full interference with, or injury
to, corporate property and corpo-
rate rights as equally intolerable
as is such interference with, or
injury to, the rights of citizens,
and, while we recognize the high
obligation of the democratic par
ty to control and subordinate all
public corporations to the general
good, we pledge ourselves to en-
act and enforce all laws that may
be necessary to protect their
property from every danger from
Whatever source the same may
come.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The people of a republic beinS
the source of power, we believe it
to be the duty of the legislature
to submit to the people for their
ratification or rejection such
amendments to our organic law
on any subject they may ask such
submission when petitiOned by a
sufficient number in accordance
with the bill of rights.

Twelfth We do not believe
that the views of any citizen upon
the question of local option
should interfere with his stand,

we declare the question TO be one
in which every democrat may in
dulpe his own views without at
fecting his democracy.

DEATH OF SENATOR PFEUFFER.

In the sudden death of Senator Pfeuffer,
of New Braunfels, in this city yesterday,
the state,no less than West Texas, has lost
useful citizen. The history of Mr..
Pteuffer from his boyhood in the
kingdom of Bavaria to his death, might be
pointed to as an exemplar of the success
of self made man. Like many others
of his countrymen, Mr.. Pfeufrer landed
on the hospitable shores of Texas witho at
dollar, and it is to the credit of any
man to have arisen, as he did, to positions
of prominence ard influence in his
adopted state.
Mr.. Pfeuffer was thorough represent
alive of that most industrious, law-abid
ing and thrifty class of the citizens o.
Texas-the Germans, His record as {
public man and member of the legis
lature-w which, possibly-was not withou
its mistakes, is that of man who worked
faithfully for his section.

interests by monopoly.

Eigh tn. We denounce the &C
ton of the late democratic con.
yenUion, which pledged the up
port of the party to corpora
tons, but refused aid or sympa-
thy to the laborinS and produc-
ing class. We claim that labor
is the creator of all wealth, the
handmade of virtue and the
source OF all natural prosperity
and happiness. We demand
that labor be protected and that
corporations be rigidly regulated
by such laws as will prevent all
combinations, determinations
and granting of rebate by trans
pOrtatiOn companies. That we
denounCe and condemn the the
DRY established and maintained
by the courts of the country, that
so-called chartered rights are
above and superior to Legislative
enactments and government con-
troll.
We also demand that a law
providing for a simple, speedy
and effective system of arbitra-
ton be enacted for the settle
ment of all issues and controver-
sizes between corporations and
employees in reference to the
wages of labor, and we favor leg
islation encouraging corporation
and profit sharing associations.
We recognize the right of labor
to organize for its protection,
and solicit the assistance of the
laboring classes in the overthrow
of monopoly, at the head and
front of which stands the liquor
traffic.

THE so.cALLED INDEPENDENTS.

There is not as much confusion in the
democratic ranks in this county, as the
friends of the independent candidates
hoped for. If the republican party
does not see fit to put up candidate,
there is no law to prevent them from in
dorsing the nominee of any other party
but where there is democratic ticket in
the field, if the republicans nominate
man who allows his name to be used
against the straight democratic ticket
then that man, whoever he may be, allies
himself with the party nominating him.
A man cannot blow hot and cold with the
same breath.
These Independents fill the bill, as an
instance of the application of the follow
ing verse from the Bible: because We
are neither hot nor cold, spew we out of
my mouth"
And so it is with these nondescript office
seekers here in Travis county. If they
are not bold enough to cut adrift from
the democratic party then that party
must support its principles and cut them
adrift.
A man must ally himself with one par
ty or the other, he cannot walk into pub
lie meeting with the democrats, and
sneak into secret conclave with the repub-
licans at the same time. A line has to be
strictly drawn somewhere, and the demo-
cratic party must do it in Travis this fail.

DETERMINATIONS AGAINST FARMERS.

The american Agricultural and Dairy
has felicitated itself upon the passage of
the oleomargarine bill. This act was
viewed by the association not in its con-
stitutional light, but as being blessed
boon to the dairy interests of the country.
And in this there is strong ground for
felicitation. The farming interests of
the country are those the least protected
and encouraged, while they vastly over
shadow all others in vital Importance.
For after all has been said, life is reduced
to means of actual subsistence, and for
this the nation is dependent upon the
farmer. We would not belittle the i'm
provements for multiplying production,
nor the facilitiesengendered by an increas-
ing trade, butswe do contend, that the
basis of all this growth should not be
obscured or forgotten, in the
zeal to protect the collateral
issue of the things in their origin so
closely akin to Mother Earth. In science
the first cause is often forgotten; in the
leap to the end intermediate steps are
skipped. But here it will not answer. In
crease the cost of farming implements by
your duties on iron and steel, cut off a
home market by the Ubiquitous tariff,
load down the produce with burdensome
freight charges, and you place premium
upon poverty and pauperism. Point to
country where the farmer, the man who
wooes from the earth his daily bread, is
oppressed and penniless, and look well
through that country for wrecks of for
tune and an aimless life of penury.
We still haye land enough and to spare,
competition and favors of generous
government still guarantee protection to
the farmer. But the inception of the
change appears. Sectional discrimina-
tions are growing up. The natural laws
of local rivalry are being nullitied by rail
road interference-the initial step in the
change tends ruinward. Now is the time
when healthy structures with the leas'
danger and with the greatest assurance OF
success, can best be improved. Let thu
state and national government answer thu
call for protection, coming up from thu
most meritorious, law-abiding and essen
tial body of our population. The appea
is not for class legislation, but for thu
protection of the children's bread ant
equalization of the laws of progress, les
man by his art may outstrip nature il
the round of the seasons.

Two Generous Wall Street Men.

While Mr.. Cammack stopped at the
Windsor he was regularly shaved by a
certain barber there, who was as atten-
tive as an Oriental slave. When the bar
Der had a chance to buy shop and start
in business on his own account Mr.. Cam
mack let him have $4,000. This was
generous, but it Is not surprising in a
man who, it is well-known, once lent Jay
Gould SO, 900, 600 without as much a. a
scrap Of paper as security.
The barber story about Mr.. Cammacz
recalls one about James r. Keene. One
day, when in the zenith Of his financial
power, he hurriedly hailed a rickety look
inc coupe, more intent On getting up town
quick than going in style. The man was
shrewd and attentive, and pleased the
speculater. Mr.. Keene became steady
patron, and one day dumbfounded the
cabman by presenting him with hand
some new coupe and D fine, strong horse.
