on TO MASON!

The business men of Austin must ster
to the front and give her railroad connec
tions with some country not tapped with
other lines. As it is, Austin is merely q
way station; she is the terminus of nc
road which brings its produce to her as
the only market, and for those who are
interested in the prosperity of Austin to
stand back at this juncture, shows the
same spirit which prevents miser from
seeing dollar over a twenty-five cent
piece.
There is not city in the state which is
not putting the best foot forward to i'm
prove her railroad come ctions. What
has built up Fort Worth in mar
vellous short time but her railroad
connections Dallas is the same way
San Antonio has opened up to her all the
country south, and southwest of her. Can
Austin afford then, to stand in the back
ground if she wants to compete with the
PiOB ipooi'O opilit VI hCI SlSlCl OlllSS
Let her lend helping hand to her natural
endowments and her business interests
will rush to the front. The opportunity
is now offered to open up one of the rich
est portions of the state, which will empty
its produce into the lap of Austin as its
only terminal point. Mason is reaching
out for railroad communication with
the outer world, and will she ask
in vain for aid from Austin? Will
the capital of Texas stand in the back
ground and let Fort Worth, with an eye to
her business interests, pluck this plum?
The Texas d. Pacific is reaching out for
feeders, and as soon as it is encouraged
by some enterprising city to open up this
rich country the step will be taken, and
when it is, it will be to the lasting disgrace
of Austin. Let there be some co-opera.
ton between the business men of Austin,
Burnet, Llano and Mason, and extend the
Burnet road TO Mason, and then the large
ldnueu anu cdtlle interests II ION Green,
MenarI and Concho counties will pay
handsomely for a connection with
the road, and it will head
off the proposed branch of
the Texas Pacific to San Angelo. That
country had rather have a connection
through Austin. They all favor the CAPT
tai city, and, besides, it gives direct con-
nection with deep water, at whatever point
it is obtained. There are wealthy citizens
of Austin whom it would repay ten-fold
for anything devoted to this enterprise
There is no need to argue the question
Austin will take step backward, unless
she soon opens up some country which
must depend upon her alone for the base
Of supplies. Wake up, men of Austin
and attend to your interests; while you

WEEKLY STATESMAN.
MR.. EMORY SMITH.

Mr.. Emory Smith, who is democratic
candidate for the Legislature. subject to
the nomination of the democratic county
convention of Travis county, is one of the
most prominent farmers in the state. His
ability and intelligence is attested by the
fact that he has been selected as the presi-
dent of the Texas farmers cooperative
association and chairman of the executive
committee of the Texas state grange
These are two of the most important posi-
tons in the agricultural associations of
the state, and the fact that he occupies
the most responsible position in both as
sociations shows that he is regarded by
the farmers of the state as representa-
tive man of its agricultural interests.
We have had farmers in the Legislature
before from Travis county, but not one
holding such representative positions.
Travis county has within her borders the
Offices of the departments of state and
the asylums, and she cannot do better
than TO send to the Legislature a gentle
man who like Emory Smith has the conf
dence of the farmers organizations of
the state, and whose ability would make
him n most useful member.

REPUBLICAN AUDACITY.

A scene of intense interest occurred il
the senate of the United States night be
fore last, as fully reported in our tele
graphic columns this morning.
The Edmund's resolutions were befor,
the senate. After the adoption of thu
first resolution, and just before the sec
ond aid third resolutions were put to the
vote, which denounces Attorney Genera
Garland for "a violation of his officia
duty in refusing to furnish the senate
with letters and papers called
for, Mr.. Morgan asked Mr.
Fdmunds whether he meant by his re.
marks that the senate had the right to i'm.
prison the encouragement for refusing
the demand made upon him in that reso-
luton. Mr.. Edmunds rose while Mr.. Nor
gan was speaking, and while all eyes were
fixed upon him on the floor of the senate
and in the gilleries, he replied that she
was bound to say that from the progress
of constitutional liberty and law that any
officer of the United States, except the
president, (about which he would not 90
into discussion now, was lawfully
bound to answer the demands of either
house of congress, and if he
failed he could be punished for contempt"
Mr.. Morgan, looking directly at Mr.. Ed
munds, said: THE senator has stated in
his resolutions that the attorney general
is lawfully bound to obey this order"
Most undoubtedly" gravely replied Mr..
Edmunds MS he sat down. "Then," con-
tinued Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Edmunds meant
to say that the senate had a right to call
the attorney general before the senate
and imprison him for contempt if he did
not produce the papers. That was the
declaration that the senator was now pre-
pared to assert though it had previously
been carefully concealed"
This doctrine of Senator Edmunds' is
the sublimity of audacity. Never before
has it been asserted that the senate had
power to imprison member of a coordi-
nate branch of the government, with as
high rank as United States senator. The
doctrine is new and doubtful one, as
sumed by congress, to imprison private
citizen for contempt. The senate is not a
judicial body in any other case than when
it sits as court of impeachment, and
when it assumes to exercise the rights of
the judicial branch of the government,
IN lmprisoning mere citizen, il is
thought by the best lawyers to have
transcribed its functions; but when il ar
rogates TO itself the power to imprison an
officer of the presidents household for
obeying the order of his direct superior,

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.

The past week in congress has not been
very important one. The granting of a
pension TO General Hancock's widow was
what was only just and proper consider
ing the services of the deceased soldier to
his country. The Fourth of July claims
bill was passed in the house, amounting
tablish national stock highway was
placed on the calendar. The bill intro
duced by Logan to increase the efficiency
of the army is an important measure, and
one which deserves mature consideration.
On grounds of economy il might be OPP
posed, but the question of policy arises
which makes it very worthy of considera-
ton. A nation able to take care of itself
is much more respected, and can make
much better terms in diplomatic contro-
versies, than vixen there is no force to
back its demands. The stand that Cleve-
land took crops out often in the speeches
and still continues to be matter. of sur.
prise to some weak kneed representatives.
The question of appropriating more
money for the foreign mail service was
raised and discussed fully, and on this
matter chance was offered to and accept
ed by the republican representatives
to attack the democrats as party,
for their pretended reforms. 1t shows
how sore the "outs" are, and that they are
unwilling to LET an opportunity of making
such attacks slip unlmproved. Edmunds
took occasion, during lull to have his res
olutions in regard to appointments
brought out, and thus gave chance for
for some more filings at the president.
As whole, congress transacted no i'm
portant business, and nearly all the time
was taken up with the consideration of
local matters and small bills.

Where fell the dead the living slept
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets at Monterey.

When striking where the strongest Law:
We swoOped his thanking batteries past
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
StOrmed home the towers of Monterey

And there our evening buges play
Where orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
