THE POWER OF PRONUNCIATION OF CAPITAL

The statement published elsewhere,
made by Col. Taylor, one of the members
of the capitol syndicate for building the
capitol of the state of Texas, is very in
teresting.
When Col. Taylor talks of the immense
acres derived from the state of Texas, as
enclosed by his company with wire fence,
he astonishes the most exaggerated an
ticipations; and when he speaks of the
syndicate building railroad from the
Panhandle to the Gulf, he opens up prob
abilities that formerly would have been as
wild as the promises of Monte Cristo, but
still it is all within the real The syndi-
cate that the contractors have formed in
England have the money and the ability
to utilize and settle these lands, even if
they had to build railroad to the gulf
This ought not to astonish anyone who
is acquainted with the power of capital
A combination of it may do anything, and
it is to be hoped that the combination
made by this syndicate will result in the
development of the state of Texas.
We have donated certain lands to the
contractors for the building of state
house and of course we are interested in
the manner in which these lands are
utilized. If this syndicate builds a rail
road through Texas in order to develop
these lands, it will, of course, inure to the
general interest of the state, and as the
contract with them seems to be sufficiently
liberal for them to accomplish this object,
we sincerely hope that they will use all
the power of negotiation and capital to
accomplish it.

NEW IDEA IN school,, D1sc,p,

Another new invention consists Of a
metahlc seat attached to a school desk
and connected with wires and an electric
battery When the teacher wants to wake
boy up, he presses little knob on his
desk and the electic current raises the how
out INTO the aisle as quick as a pin couId
II popped into him. 1t dispenses entirely
with the taps of the bel in calling classes
TO the recitation room. Each desk is NM.
oered, and the knobs on the teachers dosl,
are numbered to correspond. When tba
teacher wants class of ten to come for-
ward he presses ten knobs simultanaonSIr
ana ten boys and girls jump upon tba;r
1eet and begin to rub the place wbera -
reels NOT. To punish refractory nrni,
the teacher simply presses the knob con
responding to the bad boys number on3
holds it down until the boy howls 70, anu al

odd democratic members in the senate
and house that caucus was held the
other day, at which only forty members
were present.
If this thing continues when these same
members go again before the people, per-
haps some questions will be asked which,
unsatisfactory answered, will lead to
their being elected to stay at home.
If the democratic party wants success
to crown it's efforts to obtain majority
in the senate, the members at Washing
ton are acting in manner calculated not
only to defeat this wish, but to decrease
the majority in the house.

LUKEWARM DEMOCRATS

There is complaint against many of
the democratic members of the house of
representatives that their ma jority in that
body makes them careless and lukewarm,
and that they are relying upon their su
periority of numbers, while on the other
hand the republican minority is assiduous
in its attention upon the business of the
house. The number of absentees from
the meetings of the house is increasing
all the time, and soon the republicans, by
a coup-d'e-tat will pass some bill contrary
to the fundamental principles of the
democratic party, which will be lasting
disgrace to the democratic majority which
allowed such thing by mere inattention.
1t was this same feeling of indifference
or carelessness which led to the election
of Logan to the senate to serve another
term, from Illinois, last fall.
1t is said that out of two hundred and

The horrible murder of the Sells family,
with a Ratchet, described at some length,
in the dispatch from Usage, Kansas, bears
much similarity to some of the bloody
tragedies in this city last year A remark
able coincidence is the statement of the
boy Sells, himself, charged with the muir
der that he saw the man who did the kill
ing, and he was Il short, thickset man.
This answers the description of the mys-
FERROUS parsonage seen by one of the vic
Tins of the Austin outrages last year, des-
cribed by her before her death, and sup
posed to be one of the murder fepds of
this CITY.

The STATESMAN, short time since, got
up on its hind legs and brayed a long and
loud bray in defence of Mr.. Swain, and in
depreciation of the attack made upon his
moral probity by some anonymous cores

almost into Mysteries, and wound up by
informing its readers that the Great I'm
known would be brought to speedy justice,
etc. Why don't you fulfill your contract

being even brought to trial as yet. If Mr.
Swain is the virtuous, white-winged dove
you would paint him, why doesn't he come
to the front LIKE MAN and deny the
charge in propria personnel He hasn't
yet done so. Let him talk OUT he is of

OUTRAGE
SHEEP SLAUGHTERED IN
BROWN COUNTY.
THE GOVERNOR TO BE ASKER no
GIVE NEEDED PROTECTION

Mr.. Jeff Erwin, well-known in this c;..
and who for some years ran a sheep ranch
in the lower part of this county, is in the
city. He reports most
pEPLoRABLE STATE
of affairs in Brown county, to which place
he moved his sheep, about two years aOo
and he is here now to consult with a.
governor, relative to having protection
afforded him and his focks from
oowARDLY MARAUDERs
and skulking night providers, who have
been clubbing and killing his sheep. Mr..
Erwin, as is we'll known, is quiet, enter,
prising gentleman. He drove his
hocks to Brown county, where he
leased lands on which to Craze his sheen.
Some time about the middle of last month
ON Saturday night, his focks were invad.
ed and between fifty and seventy-Ave
ewes killed by having their
THRoATs CUT.
In flock controlled in a pasture by q
flockmaster whom Mr.. Erwin had hired to
attend and Craze his sheep, thirty four
head were killed.
On the Monday night following his NUT
ton flock was visited, and released from
their pens, and
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
head wantonly killed. On this occasion
the flock was run over two miles, and scat
tered to the four winds. Thus, in two
nights, did Mr.. Erwin lose about two hun
bred and fifty head of fine sheep, and he
is in the city to see if the state cannot
give him protection. In this connection
the following editorial notice is
CLIPPED FROM THE TEXAS sToCKMAN.
Mr.. Erwin asks if he can get protection
from the state against the free grass
fends who killed his sheep. Probably not.
The powers that be are too busy figuring
on who shall be governor. senator, etc, to
take note of such trifes as the killing,
clubbing and scattering of a few thousand
sheep, more or less. Mr.. Erwin complains
that the Brentwood papers pay no atten-
ton to his loss. They are probably too
buy helping to decide the momentous
question as to who shall be governor, etc.
