straining the further growth of corporate
power in this pecially when it is
of foreign origin. This sentiment should
be ref ected in the new platform.
The libel law, amounting practically to
the bridling of the press IN this state, also
demands attention.
As to the Mexican troubles, since
the late outrages were praeticed
on citizens of Texas, strong
expression is demanded on this
matter, rejecting public opinion, if it does
not mark out any definite course of future
action. The party should take decided
stand on all these issues in consonance
with the wishes of the great body of the
people, otherwise the ground may be &C.
cupied to our disadvantage by the oppo-
sltion which, is even now accommodating
for position.

THE ABSORPTION OF MEXICO.

We need Mexico. We must have her
sometime, and as she has given US a splen-
did opportunity, now is about as good time
to go for her as any. We need her to Gre
and productions, and possess the trade of
the land of the Aztecs, instead of sitting
down quietly and allowing Great Britain
to monopolize it under our very noses.
We want the prohibitory tariff on the Rio
Grande olished, so that we can carry a
stove from Austin or San Antonio to Viii
laldama or Monterey without paying a
duty more than equal to the stove itself.
Then, again, American capital invested
in Mexico needs protection. Further
more, this country needs new balance of
power to produce equilibrium against the
vast prodigious and growing money
power of the east. Mexico, as an integral
part of the United States would supply
this balance.
Another thing, Mexico stands in ouI
way to the South American states by rail
and extending our railway system down
to the Isthmus, we can not afford to rur
through government so unsafe as Mexico
has just shown herself. The absorption
of Mexico by the United States is but {
question of time, even if the Cutting cas-,
is peacefully settled, and when She i.
merged into the Great North American
Republic it will be better for herself
! and us.

PRESIDENT AND SENATE.

Now that it is all over, who is on top,
the president or the senate? The senate
has refused to confirm some appoint
ments, but that has frequently occurred
when president and senate were both of
the same political party. The only fair
and square issue made between Cleveland
and the senate was when demand was
made by the senate for papers relating to
presidential appointments, which Cleve-
land very properly refused to surrender
In this refusal he was determined; his de-
cision was final, and the senate had to
yield.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin is
out in very long -winded editorial prov
ing the magnanimity and condescension
of the senate, and showing how they
kindly held aloof and gave the admins
tration rope" that the democratic rule
could have fair trial. This is all bosh.
The senate assembled in no
spirit of concession; they came
together soured because of
the defeat of the "Plumed Knight" and
determined to leave no chance unturned
to entrap the administration into misrule.
But Cleveland met them with careful,
deliberate and conservative administration
an administration thoroughly consist
ent with the democratic platform-they
knew he was invulnerably intrenched, and
they feared to venture to press him too
closely. Individually, some senators like
Edmunds and Ingalls, have been exceed
ingly bitter and personal; but as a body,
they learned lesson from their one
memorable tilt with Grover, and discre-
ton marked their subsequent course.
Such an harmonious session of congress
was not expected, nor would it have exist
ed had less determined man than Cleve-
land held the reins of power. 1t was to
have been expected though that to the
republicans belonged all the glory.

The Bloomington Daily Leader re-
publican paper published in Bloomington,
Illinois, approvingly quotes The STATES
MAN and comments in this style:
The AUSTIN STATESMAN, a firm and un-
compromising organ of the Texas democ,
racy, takes the present national admins
tration to task for its lack of energy il
not demanding the immediate release of
Editor Cutting, now held a prisoner by
the Mexican authorities. 1t says, "Our
ability to furnish national safeguard to
our citizens is being shown to be simply
nothing" 1t is rather humiliating to our
sense of pride to observe that a handful
of miserable Greasers are allowed to make
a football out of this great republic when
ever it pleases them to do so.

The STATESMAN is obliged to Hon. Geo.
R. Freeman, one of the Texas boundary
commission, for bound copy of the pro-
ceedings of the entire commission on the
part of the United States and Texas. 1t
is quite large volume, and is valuable
for reference. A great deal of extra
work in preparing it for publication has
evolved upon Mr. Freeman, who has been
detained here for the purpose.

The private telegram of Hon. j. d.
Sayers, elsewhere published, shows he has
done everything possible to secure the
passage of the Mexican veteran pension
bill. 1t will doubtless pass the house next
session. If there is any class who deserve
recognition at the hands of the govern
ment it is the survivors-now few in num-
iber-of the war of 1916.

ATTENTION is called to the scientific ar
ticle on "Scarlet Fever" taken from the
Baltimore Sun. If the theories and facts
therein stated can be demonstrated to be
true, this disease will add a new chapter
to medical science. Boiling the milk is
said to reduce, if not obviate, any danger
in the use of infected Diik. This being
80 may account for the mild type of
scarlet fever prevalent in the south, be
cause of the effect of our torrid sun upon
the COWS and the food they eat, as also
upon the milk itself. Our city has estab-
lished reputation for microbe discover
les; now let this subject be investigated
and settled by our physicians. 1t is
worthy of attention, and is of nature
similar to the smallpox preventative
wherein the virus is taken from the genus
COW.

1t is shown by the New Xork Herald
that Mexico can place in the field 100000
well-equipped troops, with experienced
military leaders, and the probabilities are
that these soldiers would do some very
fair fighting. An antagonist with such a
force at command, and an effective navy
to boot, is by no means to be despised. If
the United States go to war for Cuttings
sake there will certainly be blood on the
southern moon.

Ashton Oak Herald: 1t Is report
ed thai the local managers Of the pro
posed railroad from Wolsey to Bis
marck have devised method Of in
surfing that certainly has the merit Of
originality. The farmer will receive
from the company insurance on Ger
tain number Of acres Of grain, and
pays the premium in grading on the
road. In case of loss he is to accept
the first mortgage bonds of the road in
payment. 1t IS stated in this way: A
farmer insures 100 acres at 80 cents
per acre, or $50. In payment Of the
premium he performs $50 worth Of
work at grading the proposed line. In
case the entire crop is destroyed by
hail, valued, say at SO per acre, the
farmer accepts in settlement for the
loss 1000 worth of first mortgage
bonds, face value. 1t is not stated
whether a patent has been secured for
the scheme or not.
