by taking stock. OF giving land, sor IN
some, other way and byttalking their
town up. And very, often in ,addi-
ton to all the individual subscriptions
the, town, if incorporated, takes large
amounts Of stock, and in. addition,
gives the land for sites for depots and
for repair shops. thereby sometimes
running their towns deeply in debt ;
but in u very few years the rapid
growth of the town makes. the debt
that at first was heavy. tax, appear
but small thing in comparison to the
large increase in the value Of real
estate and the buildings erected there
on.
1t appears to me that if all the resi-
dents of Odessa would cooperate and
work together, both by talking upand
subscribing to different kinds Of manu-
factories and other enterprises, and
each head of family take stock in
the talked of railroad in proportion to
each ones ability, by doing 50 il could
certainly be built; but unless the
mass of the citizens wake up and do
take stock very soon in the railroad,
it looks very much as though it will
fall through for the third time; rs at
present it,seems to be languishing for
want of persons to subscribe for the
stock, and | fear it will die out unless
all help, for no town can grow very
rapidly unless all its citizens become
interested in helping it forward.
You have made one very good step
forward by not only talking Of start
ing newspaper, but have actually
raised the cash and bought the outfit.
Now keep the ball rolling forward, by
all helping to build your railroad.
Get that built at once. Then go to
work to induce more manufacturing
enterprises to locate with you and take
stock in them and soon you will be
astonished at the change that will take
place in your town.
These things cannot be done by a
few, but all should join in just as far
as their means will admit, and all will
be agreeably surprised to find not only
the town growing rapidly, but their
own means of making living and
making money largely increased, for
all both rich and poor will feel the
benefit of increased trade.
So far as / can learn there seems to
be but one person actively engaged in
an effort to get the railroad built.
He cannot possibly build it alone but
must have help in money or work from
all the citizens of the town and
neighborhood.
The poorest man may not be able
to contribute cash, but he can subscribe
for one or more shares Of stock, to be
paid for by such number Of days
work, grading the road, or helping
build the depot and Office when the
railroad is commenced, and ID that
way the poorest. man may have the
proud feeling that he did his full part
in building the railroad and in that
way building up his town and increas-
ing his own chances for making a
a living in the future.

THE sACKvfLLE WEST LETTER

The letter of the British Minister, Sack
vile Westplaced President Cleveland in a
delicate position. The dignity and self
respect Of our government demand that
England should no longer be represented
at Washington by such an intermeddllng
minister, and it is President Cleveland's
sworn duty to see that our government is
protected from such breaches of inter
national good faith. But on the other
hand any precipitate action on Cleveland's
part would be construed by his enemies
as partisan zeal, as an evidence
of his turning his high office
into means of furthering his personal
aims and ambitions and the ends OF his
party. Between the two, President Cleve-
land has steered astraight and true course
Negotiations with Great Britain have been
deliberately conducted, and yesterday Mr.
West was informed, as see dispatches, that
his presence at Washington as Great
Britain's minister was no longer agreeable
to this nation. Mr.. West must go.
This is the result of the contemplate
republican trick let fly at the president,
but hit only the unsuspectlng, inane tool
attempted to be used for Cleveland's over
throw. Speculation is rife as to the
author of the letter that sprung the trap
which fell with such disasterOu5 result
upon Vests devoted head. But it mat
tiers not SO much the man, the republican
party behind him, while they may
not sanction his course, are to be held
responsible for it, for they it was who were
to benefit by it. Bnt the incident has
fallen fat. Cleveland and his party IN
injured are still in the race and pressing
on to victory, while the recoll of the fool
ish attempt to iniure one and both of
these will only hurt the republicans.

TO OR COUNTRY FRIENDS.

Before another issue of The WEEKLI
STATESMAN reaches you the people of th'
| United States, the state of Texas and Of
Travis county, will have decided the most
! important election for the last twenty
years. The great question of tariff re.
form will have been settled, so far Is the
popular vote can settle it; new ruler OF
the nation chosen or Cleveland reelected
the Ross administration continued
in power, and questions that
have arisen in county affairs de-
cided By the people themselves.
As to the tariff, the great issue of the cam
paign, The STATESMAN has endeayored to
give its rural readers a correct, truthful,
honest view Of the question. We doubt
not you will vote intelligently on it. If
you want cheap clothes, cheap food and
reduction of taxes on the necessaries Of
life which you all must have, vote for
Cleveland, Sayers and the democratic
ticket. If you desire to run up the price
of WOODEN clothes by tariff
tax of 125 per cent, as proposed
By the republicans; if you want
to continue in the grip and power of
monopoly, or to keep up high prices on
everything you use and are compelled to
buy while getting no more for your
cotton, corn and oats; if you want to keep
on paying taxes to support the rich men
Of New England while your Own families
have to be pinched; if you desire that
great and iniquitous swindle, an un-
necessary tariff perpetuated, then 7e:ofor
Harrison, Belknap and -the republl-
can ticket. As TO county matters
the different candidates are known
to you all. We are satisfied those gentle
men selected by the democratic party of
the county will have due and favorable
consideration a. your hands. They were
selected By party that has
ever been the friend of the
farmer and the laboring man. a party
that is now making great
fight in behalf of these classes.
We hope, fellow citizens, that
you will roll up such a majority for the
county, state and national democratic
tickets that our beloved county of Travis
can be mentioned with pride By our repre-
sentatives in the great halls of the new
granite capitol of Texas and in the ma
tionsl congress, as well. One word more,
citizens of the county. Don't scratch the
democratic county, ticket whatever you

Mondays special from Kountze says.
One of the most brutal out-ages ever per.
petrated in this county was committed in
this town last night. young man
named F. W. Tibbs, who has been a resi-
dent of this county for several years, and
who has always stood we'll in the comm.
nifty, attempted to commit an outrage
upon the person Of the 9-year.od
daughter of Sheriff W. W. Lyon. A pre-
liminary trial was held to-day before
Justice Brackiug, and the following facts
were elected After dark last evening
Tibbs went to drug store and
bought some candy, and stated
that he was going to Lyons house
to have a talk with him.
Shortly afterward he was seen by one of
the witnesses sitting upon the gallery Of
Mr.. Lyons house. Mr.. Lyons was in bed
sick at the time, and the children were
playing about the premises as usual, when
Mr.. Lyons was attracted by the cries of
his child, and running to her assistance
found her in the clutches of the monster
At the advice of his friends Mr.. Lyons
concluded to let the law take its course
Tibbs was remanded to Jail in default of
bail. The news spread like wildfre
throughout the country, and it soon be-
came evident that unless removed at once,
Tibbs would be lynched. He was accord
ingly quietly removed to Beaumont for
safe keeping. The conduct of Mr. Lyons
in this matter is commended by all law
abiding citizens.

Capt. R. B. Tailor, engineer in charge
of the government Improvements in
Buffalo bayou, is in Victoria examining
the raft in the Guadalupe river with a
view to its removal by the government.
Capt. Tailor was accompanied to the raft,
which is about five miles below that town,
by E. d. Lynn and W. R. Ripley, both
gentlemen being well acquainted with the
location of the raft and its surroundings.
There are thousands of acres of the best
sugar and cotton lands in the world which
cannot be cultivated on account of the
overflow caused by the raft, which will
become available as soon as the raft is
removed. Capt. Tailor declined to ex-
press any opinion in regard to the mat
ter in advance of his report to the de-
partment, but it is believed it will favor
the removal of the obstruction.

CLEVELAND carried Travis county in
1884 by over seven hundred majority
Ross carried it by over one thousand in
1856, and this year it is quite likely the
entire democratic ticket, national, state
and county will go through by majorities
ranging from five hundred to one thou
sand and five hundred. Evidences begin
to indicate that even the county ticket is
safe in its entirety; beyond the shadow of
doubt we shall get there.

The people of Austin-democrats re-
publicans, Marion Martin men, the
wealthy citizen and our workingmen
alike-are all interested in having the
legislature and state government friendly
to us. How shall Se keep on the good
side of them' By electing republicans
or independents, men who have, by their
acts, denounced the party in power? On
the contrary, to be friendly with that
power we must elect the democratic ticket
from top to toe, district, county and all.

PETITION THE IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE

Colonel Chiffon, secretary of the immi-
grafton bureau, has postponed the day for
the opening of the votes of the state COM
mittee for the choice of city where the
state immigration convention is to be held,
from November to November 10. This
will give our citizens four more days
within which to work to secure this con-
vention for Austin. The names of the
thirty-one members of the committee
can be found in the circular published
elsewhere this morning, and their plain
duty is before our people. The. circular
points out what an important convention
this must be and all can see the value it
will be to US to have at least twelve hun
dred or fifteen hundred representative
men from all sections of the state with US
two or three days. Every citizen who has
influence with any member of that COM
mittee should promptly exert it in Aus
tins interest. Delay may result in such
member being pledged to some other city.
Write your request at once.
