Who Delivered that Speech ct the
Polo Grounds?
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
Mr.. Harrison, OF Indiana, VINO in this
campaign is playing the role of the good
Doctor Jekyn, is at present behind the
scenes dressed for his part, but waiting TO
be called.
DIR. Blame, who seems 70 be the Mr..
Hyde of the canvass, is in font of the
footlights aud reciting his part with such
admirable felicity tina. one cannot but
help feeling he has made the hit of his
life.
It is very interesting to cortem plate the
condition of affairs at Washington if by
chance the republican party should win
in November, and Doctor Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde should together occupy the white
house. 1t would make an instructive
episode in our American affairs, the con-
sequence of which i. is not difficult to
imagine. d.. JekyI's name you'd give
authority tn public documents, but M.
Hyde would dictate the policies contained
therein. When promises of reform were to
be made DR.. Jekyll could smile beneyo-
lently on the people and assure them that
their interests were snugly eusconced in
his heart, but when distribution Of
Offices was TO be made Jekyll, with con-
vulsion or two, would become Mr.. Hyde,
and the perquisites could be merrily
placed where they would do the most
good. The nominal president would be
Jekyl, but the power behind the throne
would be Mr.. Hyde. This double headed
president would afford a psychological
problem well calculated to puzzle experts
IN political economy.
Mr.. Blaine frequently affords an illus
tra.ion of his ability to play this role. For
instance, on Saturday night a gentleman
who looked like Mr.. Blaine delivered Two
speeches at the same time, one Of which
vss printed in the Tribune, and tie other,
quite a different one. appeared in tn
Times. They both claim 70 be authentic
Now, it would be heresy to suppose that
Mr., Blsine's organ would report him
Incorrectly, al yet We find it difficult to
doubt the sterographic report of the
Times. The Tribune gives the speech in
full, and word for word, as il
was delivered. The Times gives it
in foil, also, and intimstes that
skillful shorthand writer took the words
as they dropped with musical cadence
from the eloquent lips of the orator. And
yet they are two different speeches ut
tered by the same man on the same coca
sion at the same time.
The Tribune is evidently a carefully
prepared paper to be used for campaign
purposes only, while that Of the Times is
a more sd csptandum style to meet the
wants OF listening crowd. 1t may be.
possibly, that on Saturday night Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Harrison were rolled into
one, and that both of them talked at the
same time, the Tribune taking down the
Jekyll speech and the Times the Hyde
speech. At shy rate, you pays your
money and you takes your choice.

BADLY DISCOUNTED.
A Disguised Patriot Signs for the
Good Old Days.

The following postal card was received
yesterday by Postmaster Johnson, and,
while it is no. very clear, it is sufficiently
40 TO show that the writer signs for the
good old days when letters could be sent
through the mails without the postage be-
ing prepaid:
"Since the new Law came in testeIOney
that the MALE should be prepaid in ad-
vance stsmpet befor send it. Since that
time there has been coming in the way g
many dishesrnest mail agent in the way
as letters mailed prepaid in advance than
lawmakers. if this don't due then change
the law for letters not more to be prepaid
in advance as they take the stamp of and
sell them and thong away the letters. this
has been done more than oncest since the
new law postpaid in advance stamp law is
in working"
The card will be forwarded to the
Washington postal authorities, and, IN the
interest of peace in the great American
republic, it Is sincerely hoped it will be
given due consideration.

The Cleaners.

The Cleaners of the Tenth street VI. E.
church gave a very interesting socisble in
the church basement last night. The most
relishable refreshm ents were most accept
ably served by a number of the most
charming young ladies of the society, as =
sisted by other ladies of the church. The
entertainment is the forerunner of other
still more attractive ones which the
Gl-aners will provide on future occasions.
They all deserve to have their names in
PRINT, but are too numerous for TIE
STATESMAN representative, who happened
IN at late hour, TO recall them. Their
good deeds will doubtless enroll them on
the highest records.

Brakeman Killed,

Yesterday afternoon freight train,
bound for Austin, on the western branch
of the Central, was at Manor taking the
siding in order to let the passenger due
here ut 4:l5 p. N. pass. While the freight
was backing on the siding the rear car,
from some unknown cause, left the rails.
At that moment Frank Welch, a new
brakeman, was on top OF the cars. He
either jumped or fell under the wheels.
The hanges ran across the upper part of
his thighs. He lived only a brief time
and expired. There was no collision as
reported.

DRIVE WHIST.
Elegant Entertainment st the
Governors Mansion.

Last night the executive mansion was
the scene of most delightful entertain
ment consisting of "Drive Whist" given
by Miss Florine Ross. Lack of space will
only admit of q mesger account, but it l.
Only Dscessary TO record the fact that il
was under Miss Ross sklllful management,
and that OF itself is sufficient to insure
that nothing was lacking that would add
TO the pleasure of the guests present.
The contest for supremacy, though q
long and hard one, finally drew 10 close,
and the merry guests departed amid the
eIultation of the successful ones and the
dreary Eailing of those who had all but
Won" the proffered prizes.

SOMETHING FOR YOU.
You Should Profit Thereby and
Build Factories.

The industrial and manufacturing news
in to-day's STATESMAN is worthy of seri-
Gus attention by Austin business men. 1t
is a remarkable illustration of the spirit
and vim which now animates great por.
ton Of the south. The enterprise of her
people and the progress being made in
manufacturing enterprises are marvellous,
and call to mind the wonderful tale of
AlladIn and his lamp. But, what TIE
STATESMAN wanted to call attention to, Is
the lack of that pushing, active energy,
evinced elsewhere, here in Austin. Why
is it! No city presents better natural
advantages for manufactures, and no
where in all the south will they pay better.
Read the column of industrial notes in
another place. Think over it and see if it
won't pay you to do something to secure
factories here at Au.tin. Think about it.
