MAJOR SAVERS GOOD WORK.

Texas legislatures are not noted for their
liberality; they turn the states money
loose very reluctantly. 1t was mainly,
owing to the reception by the state treas
ury of nearly million of money from the
federal government last April, that Gov
ernor Ross consented to call an extra ses-
sion of tie Twentieth legislature. That
session, inf uenced by the tremendous
cash balance on hand, was liberal to de-
gree when compared with former efforts
of that body. Asylums were enlarged and
approved, theU University was very material
ly assisted and handsome beginning was
made towards appropriately furnishing
the new capitol building and grading and
Identifying the grounds around it. The
prime cause of all these expenditures was
the payment to the state of the old indem-
nifty claims, long due the state on the part
of the United States. These had been
approved and were hanging fire in Wash
ington until Major Sayers took hold of
and got the money on them. Governor
Ross had entrusted him with the sole
right in this matter to represent Texas
in the departments at Washington
and in congress, and it was his
generalship, his influence at the treas
ury department and with the congress
sional committees, that secured the money
for Texas at the time it was obtained. He
had the items placed on different appro-
priation bill than was customary, and
rushed the claims rapidly through con
gress. His district was the chief bene-
ficisry of this efficient service on his part,
and it will not fail to show is obligation
therefor.

INDEPENDENTS.

The ridiculous cry of independent I"
never had its hollow mockery bettsr illus
trsted than in the political campaign
now being waged in this county. indie
pendent means mot relying on others"
standing alone. Are the gentlemen fig
uring at present in Travis as independ-
ents,such men OF what, under the blue
canopy of heaven, are they independent
except the democratic nomination and
party They are the nominees of two
political conventions, the republican and
non-psrtisan. They herd with the other
nominees of those conventions. The
weaker lights among them, knowing their
dependence, hang with a death.like grip
to the skirts of certain names on their
ticket whose owners have long held Office
in this county. They dare not stand
alone; they are in no sense of the word
independents. Take from them the in
dorsement of the political nominations
they have received; take them from under
the shadow of the office holders men
toned; place them in the broad, open
light of day to reflect their own individu-
ality, and they would shrivel into utter
insigr ifcance. They would indeed be in
dependent, free from any the slightest
suspicion of attaining success. Democracy
should have nothing to fear from such
men. She has placed an excellent ticket
in the field, and she should rally to its
support every loyal democrat of the
county. Success is dependent on effort,
for political dry rot has for long time
been at work in Travis.

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.

In this country there are about ten
millions of persons engaged in agriculture.
While the republican party is bowling
itself hoarse over pretended protection of
less than half that number making their
living out of manufactures, it has never
once said it wanted protection" for the
farmer. So far from protecting the man
with the hoe, the present high protective
tariff policy absolutely robs him to
"protect" the millionaire who owns the
mills and spindles in New Hampshire or
Massachusetts,. The statement is made
by ex-Congressman Hurd, in a recent
magazine article on the tariff, that
the farmers Of the United States
are forced to pay the prodigious annual
aggregate of six hundred million
dollars as a consequence OF the
high prices arising from the present une
quail and unjust system of high protective
tariff taxation. What do the farmers of
the country think of this: Are the farm
ing interests of the United States so blind,
SO stupid, as to align themselves in the
coming election with the party of Blaine,
Harrison, Sherman, the Blairs and the
Charlottesville party that pats them on
the shoulder with one hand and empties
their pockets with the other:
II the man with the hoe-who is the
principal victim of so-called protection
can vote for the continuation,
perhaps the perpetuation, of this
Ubiquitous system, then he
will deserve the financial slavery which it
inhic:s upon the farmer more than any
other class.

President Cleveland and til
MormoEs.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
One Of the greatest achievements of the
democratic party since it regained control
of the government has been its successful
treatment of the Mormon problem. For
twenty four years the republicans strug-
gled with it, but they made little progress
towards its solution. Once every four
years they met in convention and de-
nounced the twin relic" But when they
finally went out of power, the twin relic
was still on hand, and very robust relic
il was, too.
Bot there isn't much left of it now,
simply because President Cleveland has
compelled the enforcement of the law in
Utah, which his republican predecessors
either could not or would not do.
Prior to the present administration, the
whole number of convictions for polyg-
amy in Utah were two, under the laws of
1862 and 1882.
Under Mr.. Cleveland's administration
there have been fourteen convictions for
pOlygamy and $50 convictions for I'M
lawful cohabitation under the laws of con,
gress. These facts appear from an
official report of the United States dis
trict attorney of Utah, furnished to the
department of justice in pursuance of a
resolution of the house of representatives.
Not over j dozen or so of Mormons have
been pard9nsd by the president, and these
were mostly very old. or infrm men. In

In his speech at Cooper Union, Gov.
ernor Hill showed from official statistics
of the labor Iureau in New York state
that, of 1871 manufacturers who reported
wages higher than they were five yeas
ago, over 60 per cent attributed the il
crease wholly to the Organization of the
workingmen," while only six, or less than
half of l per cent, claimed that 'pro-
lection" was the cause. Over five hun
dred labor organizations attributed the
rise to the same reason. 1t is all very
well for republicans to stake their chances
with the laboring men upon the cry of
protection guaranteeing them higher
wages, but, when the facts are adduced,
such sophistry falls prone to earth. Be
sides, the laboring men, through the
efforts of their own organizations, have
discovered differently. When the laboring
man is once undeceived it is exceeding
difficult to again pull the same kind of
wool over his eyes.

white friends had. That this fresh sssss-
sination in Waller county should occur at
this particular juncture is doubly to be
regretted. 1t does appear that the curse
of murder cannot be lifted from Hemp
stead, town which, like Waller county,
contains some of the best, most honorable
citizens in Texas. Let the murderers OF
Lewis McDade be hunted down and pun,
ished. The negro, equally with other citi
zeps, when not offending our laws must
be protected by them.

The Least Known Part of the
Globe.

From the New York Sun.
Through the enterprise of the Germans
who have been exploring their new pos
sessions in New Guinea, many very inter
esting facts about that great island are
coming to light, and in some respects
they are changing the notions we had de-
rived from previous travellers who had
few opportunities for thorough study.
DR.. Hollrung, the botsnist of the exhi-
bition, which the New Guinea company
sent out to Kaiser Wilhelm Land about
two years ego, has returned home with
much novel information about the coun-
try and its inhabitants.
Acareful survey of the long northeastern
coast has shown that it is comparatively
rich in good harbors, though the coast was
formerly supposed to be but little in
dented. 1t has long been asserted by
mariners that this coast was guarded by
dangerous reefs, which, however, have not
been discovered by the Germans, whose
steamers make the journey from station
to station in the night time and have
never yet met with an accident. 1t has
been discovered, also, that the rivers of the
northern half of the German coast offer
very heart of the island. The Empress
Augusta river, the largest of these water
courses, is navigable for ocean going
steamers for 100 miles, and vessels draw
ing ten feet can easily ascend about 100
miles further. Several other rivers have
extensive courses that are navigable far
inland.
Different modes Of life are found to
have made some curious notifications in
the Papuan type. The natives of the EN-
press Augusta river, who do all their
travelling in boats, have well-developed
arms, but weak legs, while the people in
the hill country, who are splendid noun
tain climbers, have fine muscular legs and
comparatively weak arms. The remark
able feature of native navigation on the
Empress Augusta river is that many of
the people row their boat,
though savages the world over
slmo-t invariably use the paddle only.
Although it was supposed that the en-
tire interior of New Guinea was very
thinly settled towns containing more than
1000 inhabitants have been Quite FREE
quently found along the Empress Augusta
river. There are, however, no very power
full tribes or confederated communities,
and an incredible confusion of Ian
gusges exists all over this country. It is
sure that a language area fifteen miles
vide in any direction can be found. The
difficulty of getting acquainted with the
people, or of travelling over the country,
is of course greatly increased by this
multiplicity of tongues.

The assassination of Lewis McDade,
colored, at Hampstead, who happened to
be candidate for cotton weigher, ought to
be denounced all over the state. So far
as known no offense was publicly charged
against Lewis, who, as stated in our spec
ial. was peacesble republican negro, and
had the same right to the protection Of
the law ard to run for Office that his
