A POLITICAL SERMON.
PUNISHABLE AS WATER THOU
SHALT NOT EXCEL.o
To the Voters of Travis County.

To the Voters of Travis County.
Ny friends, this text teaches indepen-
dents lesson. 1t teaches a lesson of con-
sistency in the every day walk of life-in
our business, social and religious relation S.
And as we owe a duty to our state, which
is regulated by the code of political ethics,
we are expected to be ambitious to reach
a standard of excellence by the strong and
stable methods of political honor and con-
slstency.
Old Jacob, the son of Joseph, called to-
gether his numerous household and with
prophetic vision, gave wise prediction as
to the fortune that would befal them. He
said, "Gather yourselves together, that l
may tell you that shall betall you in the
last days"
| To Reuben he said, "Thou art my first
born, my might and the beginning of my
strength, the excellency of dignity and
the excellency of power. Unstable as
water, thou shalt not excel" etc.
There has always been in the history of
every country, set of men who, by this
tractable political shiftinsg, deserved the
application of turncoats, weather cocks,
fence riders and independents" They
play no unimportant part, because often
they hold the balance of power, and can
turn the tide of election. They are tools
and in great emergencies, are sought ano
enjoy the unenviable glory of having a
voice in the result. Overtures are made
to them. If man is in danger the law
of self-preservation prompts him to seei
aid which, in time of safety, he woulo
spurn. Great emergencies, in Other
words, warrant the use of even question
able remedies. The body is diseased, ant
violent poisons are invoked to work he
roic remedies, but when the system il
freed from malady the poison is marked
to warn the ignorant and the young to be
ware of it.
Our great democratic party, struggling
for supremacy, tried by the fires of man,
disappointments, patient amidst adver
sitv. saw the fitful glimmer of success IL
1884. and also discovered the shoals whlc
bcset the weather-beaten bark, and i
this hour of trial she did not refuse tn
AID of an enemy, because the end whlc
promised the glories of democratic relg
of good will and general prosperity just
fed the means by which success was as
sured.
The independents of New York un
doubtedly did our party service. Blu
what Is the sentiment of the party towar
this unstable ignis- fatuus, this harlequl
whose Irish flea propensities keep tn
] quiet mind of well balanced citizens 1
= nervous action to devine the sequence G
its movements.
Jacob may have been wrong in warnln
Reuben against his inconsistent cours
but if consistency is jewel, Jacob pre-
nounced sound doctrine, and in his pr'
diction he manifested commendabie al
probation for strong, stern and unwaVe
ing manhood. A true man will be true
his party.

are found at every step, and these have little
tables placed upon the wide sidewalk, and at
them hundreds of the gayly dressed throng sit
and chat while they drink black coffee out OF

There are many of these boulevards in Paris,
but the gayest of them is the long stretch
from the Madelaine to the Bastile, fully three
miles in length. The roadway is nearly sixty
feet wide, and at its sides are rows of trees.
Inside of these are sidewalks each thirty feet
wide, and along them is the gay, ever laugh
ing, joking crowd, which makes up Paris,

The Halles Centralles are the largest OF the
markets of Paris, though they are not the
only ones. They are the largest markets in
the world They consist of ten great pavil-
ions of iron and glass, and they cover y
acres Of ground. Each pavilion contains
$50 stalls, each of which is as large as small
hall bedroom, and the cellars below, for
storage. number 200, each Of which is II
feet high. These markets cost about $4,000
OOOto build, or nearly as much asour national
Capitol The city, however, gets good In
terest from the investment by Ler tax on
the enormous business done. Each Of the
stalls pays rent and the government taxes
everything that comes into the city. The
daily bill of Paris for meat, wine and bread
alone amounts to about S750,0OO and there
are 81, 600 600 worth OF eggs sold here yearly.
'gbe fish sales amount to S5,0O0,000 year,

Especial corespondence,l

PARIS Sept 20.-Paris stands at the top of
the gastronomc world Her cooks are ex-
ported to every quarter of the globe, and the
chefs of other nations come here to study the
culinary art. The noted negro caterer,
Wormley, of Washington, who made $780,
600 by pleasing the palates of the statesmen
and diplomats there, sent his sons to Paris to
study French cookery, and the day has come
when the American millionaire would sooner
think of doing without his carriage than his
chef from Paris. Sam Ward, the late noted
lobbyist, passed many bill through the dishes
which he learned how to prepare in Paris,
and Presidents jackson, jefferson and Arthur
had their dinners gotten up by cooks from
| France.
Paris is a city of hotels and cafes, and it
has been described as Il gigantic mousetrap
with three DOORS labeled respectively "Hotel,
Cafe, Restaurant" There are in the city be-
tween 5000 and 5000 hotels, and the restau
rants stare at you from every block AT al
most any restaurant you are sure of getting
good cooking, and the chef of the restaurant
is one of the characters of Paris What hi,
wages are here don't know, but President
Arthur paid Chef Forth 81 500 year, and {
good French cook can hardly be gotten il
America under 81 600 Here their wage
are undoubtedly less, but still they form al
important element of the French community

COFFEE DRINKING ON THE BOULEVARD.
These French people live largely on the
streets. You see old women knitting on the
benches of the boulevards, and they knit as
they ride along ON the tops of the street cars.
Whole families gather about the tables OF
these cafes in the streets, and the sharp
sighted traveller may now and then see two
doting lovers sucking sentiment and lemon
ade out of the same glass.
