TEXAS GAINS HER CLAIM.

The Texas indemnity claim has passed
the senate, and the bill now only awaits
the signature of the president to become
law. Over five thousand items or
claims go to make up the entire claim of
Texas against the federal government for
money expended by the state in suppress
ing the Indians and defending our border
territory, and of this total amount nine
hundred and twenty seven thousand dol
lars have been returned to US by this
bill. These Gains were al prepared
and sent to Washington during Gov
erncr Ire'and's administration, but
some essential points Of proof have,
during the past year, been supplied
during Governor Ross administration.
Senator Pope has been engaged on these
claims for several years, but to Mr.. Jas.
7. Newcome, who was secretary of state
under Governor Davis when these claims
arose, is due most of the credit for Sc
curing the proof that was lately found to
be needed to substantigte the claims. He
was peculiarly and perfectly acquainted
with the nature and origin of the claims,
and he has rendered the state great ser
vice in working up the proof he secured.
Governor Ross, at the opening of
congress, entrusted the entire conduct of
this claim through congress to the willing
and efficient hands of Congressman Sayers,
and the success he has attained proves the
wisdom of the governors choice and at
tests the diligence of Mr.. Sayers in the
interest of his state. The Texas dele ga
ton, as such, had no control of the mat:
ter, but Mr.. Sayers was made by the gov
ernor solely responsible for the work, and
TO him belongs all the credit of its sue
cessful issue. 1t may be a week or ten
days before the president signs the bill,
and then the transfer of that much
money TO Texas will be a matter of some
little delay and expense. When it is
safely lodged in our state treasury, Texas
may snap her fingers in the face of any
state in the union, and point to the best
secured treasury in the United States
Let honor fall where it is due. and let the
gentlemen who have been active in secur-
ing these funds for Texas receive their
full need of glory.

CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE.

Chief Justice of the supreme court of
the United States, Morrison Remick Waite,
is dead. Made chief justice in 1874 he
has for over fourteen years been the
highest legal authority in the United
States, and his dignity, learning, honor
able bearing, social qualities and noble
instincts have held him through al these
wears in the nations highes. esteem and
respect. He was born in Lyme, Conn,
November 20, 1916, and 30 was at the
time of bis death in his 72d year. He was
of English ancestry and his father was a
distinguished iurist, being made associate
justice of the supreme court Of
Connecticut in 1884, and chief justice
in 1854, which position he held
until he was retired st the age of 20, the
states constitutional limit. Chief Justice
Waite, his son, entered Yale college a: the
age Of II, ana graduated in 1887, in the
same class with William ". Evert=. He
then began the study of law, and in DC
tober, 1888. moved 20 Ohio, where ne was
admitteI to the bar in 1889. He was
elected 20 the Ohio Legislature in 1S49, snd
served one term. In 1862 he ran for con-
gress as an independent republican on
conservative platform, and was defeated.
In November, 1871, President Grant ap-
pointed him as one of the three counsel
to repres ent the United States before the
Tribunal of Arbitration, at Geneva,
Switzerland. His associates were VIM. N.
Eyarts and Caleb Cushing. He helped
conduct tina. case with marked ability,
aud his argument in it Is famous.
The three, won $50 100000, for the United
States. Chief Justice Chase died May I,
1873, and Attorney general Williams and
Caleb Cushing were both nominated to
fill the vacancy, but their names were
Withdrawn, aud on January 20, 1874, presi-
dent Grant sent to the senate the name of
Morrison Remick Waite. The nomins-
ton was discussed only an hour, and not
a word was said in opposition to it, and
ii was confirmed by the senate by unani-
nous vote. Senators Sumner, Thurman,
Edmunds and Sherman paid tribute to
The great ability, p-obity and perfect ti:-
ness of the man for the position. He has
been a conscientiously hard working
and efficient Judge. He has writ
ten many of the most able
opinions of that distinguished court dur
ing the last fourteen years, and his name
will live in our legal history and his
opinions hold as authority for generations
to come. He was married in 1S40 to
Connecticut lady, who survives him. A
great man has gone out from among the
living, and our nation nouns his loss, as
it will miss the further impress of his abil-
ity upon the laws of our country.

rapidly passing away, when representa-,

that in the federal senate. It is aQspic-
ious for the future glory and power of
our country and government. 1t is only

alive the embers of hate. The noble men

on TO THE GULF.

Austn can secure her railroad south
east to the gulf for the sum of one hun
d,ed thousand dollars. This rews should
bring good cheer to every business house
and property holder in our city. 1t
means millions of money TO the city; 1t
means that we will, in a few years, be on
a line from Denver and Kansas City and
the great north west to the gulf; it
means that we will be on a line from
Mason and Llano counties, and all
that section rich in ores. direct to
tie gulf; it means q commercial
and business future for Austin.
All this cannot be accomplished at
once, bat this railroad is the first aud
great step in that direction, and with it
once taken, all the rest will follow Pat
urally, and ss a matter of easy growth.
Such a road would be cheap to this section
at one million dollars, and our citizens
cannot act too promptly and effectively
The board of trade should close the bar
gain at once by accepting President
Lofts offer. That board was created for
such work and it should promptly come
forward and perform this, its most vitality
important duty. On to the gulf must
now be Austin's slogan.
