ROSS AND SWAIN.

Colonel Swain might well have sert Off
this message after the discussion with
General Ross, at Cameron: II have met
the enemy and he is vanquished.' Swain
did Ross up as completely as was possible
under the circumstances. One of the
most remarkable features of that discus
sion is the flop that Ross made on the land
question. He is a complete practical
illustration of the saying, "When you are
in Rome do as Rome does" When Ross
is talking to Il people who favor lease law,
so does he and if they favor free grass so
does he, and there you have it. He does
not convert the people to his way
of thinking, but they seem to convert him.
Col Swain has shown his consistency in
al his pnblic expressions or utter
inces, not changing or shifting as a
Seathercock, but stating his views plainly
md concisely with an idea of converting
those who oppose him to his way of
thinking, while Ross appears to be all
things to all men. He is continually chang.
ing and shifting from the position taken
in his first interview. He has learned
that his views as published could not be
forced down the Threats of the voters. and
lie has attempted TO shift his base of
operations. Finding that Col. Swain had
struck the keynote, he attempts
to thrust himself upon the same platform
md while the people might laud his good
tense in following such leader, they had
,ather have the source of good sense as
their executive than one who copies it
Col. Swain is making friends wherever he
goes, while Gen. Ross is making progress
backward, not that the people fear to
rust his honesty or integrity, but they
appreciate a man of backbone, who is not
afraid to say what he means, and sticks to

Our Worst Enemies,

Men; to our vices, are oar folllcs. Among
them l., the impcrilng of future bodily COM
fort, and the average tenure of life to which
persons of moderately good constitutions are
presumably entitled, by imprudence in eating
ard driHking, and the reckless use Of drugs.
1t is ONE Of The happy capabilities of Hostel
nre thus inflicted. When the blood is thin
and wutcry, the bowels out of order, the COM
rlcXion and tongue both giving evidence of
bilullsness, there is necessity for repairs
unOn the human tenement obvious enough to
staltle its possessor. a course of the Btters,
the abandonment of "druggng" for relief,
and u common sense diet and mode of life
these will speedily produce II change for the
better. What quinine for fever and ague, and
mercury for biliOusncss and constipation,
won't do, the Biters will. 1t also relieves
rheumatism and neuralgia, and inactivity of
the kdneYs.

THE NEW CAPITOL.


In The STATESMAN yesterday appeared
short interview with two members OF
he capitol syndicate. The report has been
circulated throughout the state that the
land which the syndicate receives is worth
all the way from two TO eight dollars per
acre. and by persons who know bette.
Men who have heard this report, although
well aware how absurd it is, had
rather circulate statement that they
know to be false, thus ling an Injustice
to their own good sci Sc, than to correct it
from their own personal knowledge. 1t is
true that the state holds md at two dol
lars per acre, but it is cioice land, aud
they give thirty years il which to pay
the principal. The syndicate say
that they took hold of this land as spec
ulation, and since they hive done so they
have acquired enough information to
know that they could have bought the
same land, or even better, at the time for
them. And even now, although it is after
a lapse of several years, land can be bought
for less alongside of their land than their
land costs. The only way these men can
get their money back will be by taking
heavy risks in clttle and sp, culating.
Now,all of this shows the wisdom of giving
the three million acres of land for CAPT
tol which will cost from three and a half
TO four million dollars.
Judge Terrell has been at
tackled on all sides for giving
away the peoples land" to a big monied
syndicate. Granted that Terrell was the
one who did this, granted that he carried
the entire legislature that gave this land
in his vest pocket, granted all this, and
more absurdities, and what have you!
You are now face to face with the fact
that Texas made wise tinanceering stroke
when this contract was consummated.
Texas will have the finest public building
i'll the United States when this capitol is
finished, and if Judge Terrell is alone re-
sponsible for this contract, then the peo-
pie ought to be willing to honor him with
Office for that one act, and if Col. Swain
has been alone guilty of having the ma
terial changed from soft limestone to
granite, then he has erected monument
which will perpetuate his memory to all
time.
Look at the capitol at Albany, N. Y.
1t has been eighteen years in building,and
has cost over twenty millions, and the
Texas capitol will surpass it, then should
not any man be proud of having contribu-
ted such land mark to Texas?

TIE BRIDGE CELEBRATION.

No local event in the last five years has
been worthier of Il genuine and hearty
celebration by the citizens of Austin
than the opening for the general public
of the magnificent iron bridge which
spans the Colorado at the foot of Con
gress avenue. Not only the city, but the
entire county of Travis, will, in few
days, be freed from an annoyance, which,
for years, has sat like an incubus upon
business end pleasure alike. The mer-
chant of Austin can now congratulate
himself that the trade from the south
of the river will, in future, come to
this side without tax or embargo. Pro
perty owners on the south side can wei
ioin in the celebration with their neighbour
from the city side.
Not alone these classes, but we can al
join IN merry making over an event that
will rebound to the general prosperity OF
our city, as well as our country friends.
The committees have all been APP
pointed, and due notice will be given
when all arrangements have been com;
pleted.

Mr.. Felix Smith is not candidate for

has so stated to our best citizens. He has

run for the legislature. He said to Mr..
Emory Smith, that if he Emory SAITH
would run for a seat in the lower house of
the Twentieth legislature, that he Felix
SMITH would give him his earnest sup
port, and would stump the county for
him. In response to call made on Mr..
Emory Smith, he announced his candi-
dacy and placed his name before the peo-
pie of his county for their suffrag' He

A CASE NOT BEYOND HELP.

vises us of remarkable cure of consump-
ton. He says: "a neighbours wife was at
tackled with violent lung disease, and pro
nounced beyond help from quick con-
sumption. As a last resort the family was
persuaded to try DIR. VIM. HALL S BAL

constituent of all, by the time she had

Felix Smith gave Mr.. Emory Smith no
tice that he would not be candidate for
the Twentieth legislature, and the assur-
ance that he would stump the county for
apparent to every person not blind, that
instead of his assisting Emory Smith in
his canvass, he is covert!y seeking his de-
feat: What great crime has Mr. Emory
Smith committed that warrants Mr.. Felix
Smith to place himself under the suspi-
cion that his course of action bears the
stamp, and is regarded by many, who
year after year, have been his supporters,
as wanting in good faith? Let Mr.. Felix
Smith rise to an explanation.
Our business men loE their interests.
Emory Smith is high in official position
in the state grange. He is also president
of the Texas Cooperative association of
farmers, and his influence for good to
Austin as member of the legislature,
cannot be over estimated.
The farmers have always been repre-
scented in every Texas Legislature, and
they are likely to constitute large ele
ment in the Twentieth Legislature. Travis
county should have at least one member
in the Legislature who has their full conf
dence. If Felix Smith did no, promise
to give Emory Smith his support if he
would become a candidate for the legisla-
ture, let him say so over his own sigma
