How to Secure Turnpikes.

1t is probably true the present financial
condition of the county is such as will not
Justify the issuance of bonds to build
turnpikes in the county, but recognizing
the absolute necessity for them and the
great advantage Austin would derive from
good turnpike roads, The STATESMAN be-

large fund for their obstruction, and as
we are willing to show our faith by our
works, we will agree to give $1,000 to-

secure good roads, provided others equally

EX-CoNFEDERATE HOME.
A Movement In Boston to Aid

Major Joe Stewart is in Boston, and ii
seems he will succeed in getting liberal
aid for the Confederate home in this city
from the old union war veterans. The
following extract relative to the matter is
from the Boston Herald:
About seventy-ive comrades of John

post hall last evening to meet soldiers of
the late war representing both north and
south, to take measures to bring before
the people of Boston and vicinity the
necessities of the ex-Confederate soldiers

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury
Old Time Methods.

The savage is emphatically the child Of
nature. He lives close to nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
Waen the Indian receives an injury he
does not seek cure in mineral poison5,
but binds on the simple leaf, administers
the herbal tea, and, with natures aid,
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable log cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found the roots and herbs that lay
close at hand natures potent remedies for
all their common ailments. 1t was only
in very serious cases they sent for old
''saddle-5ags" with his physic, which quite
as often killed as cured.
Latter dag society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its
own good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived wholesomer, purer, better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filled with noxious
5 ms, nor their bodies saturated with
poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make a change, to re-
turn to the simple vegetable preparations
of our grandmothers, which contained
the power and potency of nature as rene
dial agents, and in all the ordinary all
merts were efficacious, at least harmless?
The proprietors OF Warmers Log Cabin
remedies have thought so, and have put
on the market a number of these pure
vegetable preparations, made from form.
ulas secured after patient searching into
the annals of the past, so that those who
want them need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will
be found LOG CABIN sarsaparilla," for the
blood; LOG Cabin hops and buchu RENE
dy," tonic and stomach remedy; LOG
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
"Log Cabin hair tonic" for strengthening
and renewing the hair; LOG Cabin ex-
tract" for both external and internal ap-
plication; clog Cabin liver pills." "Log
Cabin rose cream" an old but effective
remedy for catarrah, and LOG Cabin
plasters." All these remedies are care
fully prepared from recipes which were
found, after long investigation, to have
been those most successfully used by our
grandmothers of "ye olden time" They
are the simple, vegetable, efficacious
remedies of Log Cabin days.

Sunday Nights Eclipse.

Those who possessed curiosity and leisure
in a sufficient degree to study that great in
stitution, the almanac, were forewarned Of
the eclipse Of the moon which took place on
Sunday evening, and those who never have
perused an almanac were kindly informed
Of the coming event by their more curious
neighbors, with the result that nearly every
one who was able to see readily after p. m
was enabled 10 view the transit Of the Queen
Of the Heavens through the earth's shadow
with considerable satisfaction.
The earth casts pretty respectable
shadow, and its advance guard began en-
croaching on the right hand side Of the moon
at about half past nine o'clock. Slowly but
steadily the bright orb of the night was
overtaken by the dark presence, and in about
an hour its light shone family from behind
a vail of the color of squelched ambition
Then the deeper portion of the shadow be
gan to cross, producing rather wierd effect
The eclipse was of nearly four hours dura
ton, and when the last vestige of shadow had
departed the man In the moon appeared
considerably relieved, and Immediately
turned his attention to lighting the face o.
nature.

|impossibility Of any honest workingman
voting for Harrison and Morton. The rsso'
lutions are based on Harrisons uniform
opposition In and out OF Congress, to the
eight hour movement; his unwonted zeal in
the military movement intended to overawe
the striking railroad men in 1877; and on
his votes on the Chinese question a. member
Of the United States Senate; coupling all
this with the recent exposure Of millionaire
Morton's method in the management Of his
princely estate on the Hudson. "What the
laboring men want" the resolutions finally
proclaim, "is the protection Of labor. The
republican party wants the protection Of
the bosses Of the monopolists and msnufac-
turers, leaving labor at the mercy Of free
trade in labor from the north Of Europe and
the slums Of Italy"
The movement thus energetically set on
foot is spreading with rapidly that leaves
no room to doubt that before November
II will have united not only the entire organ-
ization, but also largely the unorganized
labor Of the country, in one mighty, irrssist-
able mass in opposition to this Italio- Chinese
ticket set up BY the republicans.

The republicans took advantage of the
"impenetrable gloom" of the eclipse to
plaster the town with handbills containing
an alleged editorial from the London Globe,
saying the democrats are in favor of free
trade. What the English papers don't
know of American politics would fill many
large volumes. What they do know would
hardly make good sized pamphlet, How
ever, the "blue bill" is an old chestnut, for
as long ago as 1874 favorite political
dodge of the advocates of high tariff was
to forge articles purporting to have appeared
in English newspapers commencing the
democrats for advocating "free trade"
although England was then herself pro.
tective country. The dodge is as clumsy
now as then.

Office to Its expiration. (0 If nominated
will be elected. A man of strength to the
party, one who has stood by the party, and
has contributed his money literally for the
past 20 years. His honesty and ability is
unquestionable; he has filled important
offices of trust for II years, and we have
yet to hear of his deficiency. In asking
the support of his party for this office, he
merely asks nothing more than what every

they owe him. NJ. K.
