STANDING PAT.
The Statesman Publishing Com
pany, Through Attorneys,
Answer Mr.. Wellmer.
An Intensely Interesting Itemlzed
Account as Shown on the
County Books.

The following paper, which speaks fer
itself, was filed in the district court yester-
day, in answer to suit for libel brought
by County Commissioner Wellmer last
Saturday, against THE STATESMAN Pun
LISTING COMPANY for $500;
William Wellmer VS. THE STATESMAN Publishing
comp ny. Suit pending in the district court of
Travis county.
And now, at this dav, comes the defend
ant, The STATESMAN Publishing company,
by its attorneys, and valves the issuance
and service of the writ of citation in said
cause, and enters its appearance and prays
the court that an immediate trial of this
cause be ordered.
This defendant denies that the state
ment published by this defendant in The
DAILY STATESMAN newspaper on October
II, 1888, as set forth by plaintiff in his
said petition, relating to the official acts OF
plaintiff as county commissioner of
Travis county, state of Texas, is false, but
on the contrary, defendant says that said
statement is true, as defendant will verify.
Defendant further denies that said state.
ment was published with the malicious
purpose of injuring the plaintiff in his in
dividual or official character, or with any
other evil intent or purpose, but the same
was published for the information of the
public, and is a matter of official action on
the part of plaintiff proper, to be pub
lished for the information of the voters of
Travis county, and especially for the in
formation of the voters of the precinct in
which plaintiff is a candidate.
And defendant further says that said
statement was and is a privilege COM
munication, publication authorized by
law to be so published, and that the plain.
tiff cannot maintain cause of actio- for
libtl by reason of such publication.
And defendant further says that from
June 7, 1887, to October I, 1888, both
dates inclusive, the plaintiff being
a county conn issioner of Travis
county, received warrants on the county
treasurer of Travis county for the follow
ing amounts, and on the account of con-
siderations as stated, such claims ! . ny
approved and allowed by the commits
sioners' court and such warrsnts issued 20
plaintiff by order of said court, to-wit:

The San Antonio FAIR

The San Antonio International fair, to
take place November Is to %, is rapidly
assuming proportions much more extern
sive than were originally anticipated by
its projectors. Representatives of the
association are now in Dallas, in attend
ance at the fair and exposition there, and
have made arrangements tor having the
greater portion of the exhibitors and
privilege holders who are now in Dallas
to be present at the San Antonio exhibit
ton. All of the fine race horses will go
to San Antonio, and the races there will
be one of the most interesting features.
The enterprising business men of the
Alamo City are not willing to let any
other Texas city get the advance of them
in any respect, and it Is evident they will
keep even in the race.

THE NEW DEPOT.
1t Is Thrown Open to the Travel
ing Public.

The amiable Pete Lawless is happy.
The indulgent population is happy. The
amiable Pete and the indulgent popula.
ion have right to be. The oft talked
of and the often longed for passenger
depot has been built, furnished and is
now occupied.
The railroad officials moved into it yes
terdsy, and the building from one end to
the other is complete IN every respect.
1t is handsome structure, and is fin
ished inside in the hest manner possible.
The walls and ceilings are hand finished.
The wainscoting is high. up, and is of
beautiful oak.
The waiting rooms are large, airy and
comfortably furnished.
There are private wash rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen, and nothing has
been omitted to make everything pleasant
for waiting passengers.
The ticket office is large, convenient and
well-arranged for the purpose. So are the
baggage rooms. The building is lighted
with electricity, and in all of its appoint
ments is complete.
1t cost little the riss of $4,000, and
the furniture and fixtures, $4,000.
1t was built by Mr.. Gus Wilke, and bears
the impress of a master workman.

Complimentary to Texas.

From the CourierJournai.
Among the proceedings of the Southern
Homeopathic association just adjourned
was the following, which is quite compli-
mentary to Texas physician:
DR.. A. l.. Monroe introduced the fol-
lowing, which was unanimously adopted:
"The Southern Homeopathic Medical
association views with satisfaction and
approval the introduction into congress
by Senator Cali, of Florida, of bill APP
propriating 100000 for the purpose of
investigating the causes, methods of in
PRODUCTION into the United States, general
management and treatment of yellow
fever, and we most earnestly recommend
that our senators and repre- sentatives
join in securing the passage of said
measure.
eve also view with pleasure the fact
thnt Senator Calls bill provides for the
creation of board composed of physi-
clans of the different medical schools, a
feature eminently proper and likely to
develop the relative merits of the differ
ent medical systems in the treatment OF
this disease, contamination devoutly
wished for by the homeopathy. In view
of these facts it bebooves us 10 keep in
mind that this association is the proper
body to present the name of representa-
tive of the organized homeopathic OF the
south to serve on the said commission,
and therefore take pleasure in present
ing for your consideration the following:
Whereas, DIR. @. Z. Fisher, of Austin,
Tex, passed through the epidemic of 1873
az volunteer, at Chattanooga, Tenn,
using his unusual facilities for observation
to the greatest possible advantage; and,
Whereas, His youth, vigor, energy and
absorbing interest in this subject increase
his peculiar fitness for the work required
and,
Whereas, AS Doctor Fisher is editor of
tie Southern Homeopathic journal, the
organ Of southern homeopathy, it seems
to US that it is eminently proper that he
BE- one of the representatives upon this
commission.
Resolved, That this association, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby recommend
that the legal representatives so en-
powered appoint DR.. @. e. Fisher, OF
Austin, Tex, as one of the members Of
the yellow fever commission at present
under contemplation by congess, should
such commission be created"

Fine Plymouth Rocks.

Mr.. George S. Hefy bower, of Austin,
sent twenty-one of his magnificent Ply
mouth Rocks TO the Dallas fair. For
great size, splendid form, elegant Earrings,
beautiful plumage, and wonderful egg
records, they stand at the head of this
breed, and Mr.. Hehybower says he defes
any breeder, north or south, to produce
their equal. At seven consecutive state
fairs held at Austin, Tex, his birds sue
cessfully competed, and were awarded all
leading premiums. At both former state
fairs held at Dallas, Texas, they have been
equally successful, and were acknowledged
by thousands to be the largest and finest
they ever saw. Mr.. Hefybower, of
course, expects the prize this year.

THE SOCIETIES.
Interesting Debates at the Un1-
verslty Last Saturday Night.
THE ATUENFITM

Mr.. Horne appeared as essayist, taking
for his subject "The Life of Byron The
gentleman treated his subject in mas
terly manner, pointing out the excel
lencies and severely criticising the dis
crepancies of the great author.
Mr.. Brady appeared as the dec.aimer
Of the evening, and took for his subject
"Othello's Address to the Senate" which
he rendered in a pleasing manner. The
gentleman's voice was we'll modulnted and
his gesture timely.
Mr.. TreIkel was the evenings orator.
His subject was "TIue Greatness" The
speaker presented his ideas we'll, his Ian
guage was choice and his delivery ener
getic. He reviewed the worlds idea of
greatness as contrasted with his own as
defined in the couplet, "Virtue is true
greatness, couplet excellence true beauty"
The question for debate, resolved, "That
the Negro Should be Colonized," was
earnestly discussed by Messrs. Herbert,
Lockett. Lane and Rogers, for the effirma-
tive, and Messrs. Camp, j. P. Smith and
Cohran, for the negative. The speeches
were all excellent.
The new members, Messrs. Love, Cob
ran and Rogers, acquitted themselves in a
manner worthy of old veterans. The
audience, which was a very large and en-
thusiastic one, seemed well pleased, as
evidenced by the repeated Interruptions
of the speakers by applause. Several new
members were received into the society,
swelling the membership of the Atke-
neum to about sixty members.
THE RUsK.
The Ruok hall was filled with an ap-
preciative audience to hear the exercises
of the the evening.

into the society.

THE HUSTINGS.
Two Colored Orators Have an
Interesting Debate.

Last night quite large crowd gathered
on Ninth street near the opera house to
hear Professor John Taylor, of Weber
vile, and Prof. L. A. Black, both colored,
discuss the political situation. Both men
took up a great deal of time explaining
away some differences which seemed to
have originated in the republican county
convention.
Taylor spoke first and made very in
teresting talk, and his comments on
some of Blacks political letters written
to him (Taylor) were amusing aud pro
voked much laughter. He said that he
had always voted the republican ticket;
this year he didn't propose to support the
independent ticket for county and legis-
lative offices. He warned his colored
hearers to beware of the independents
the democrats on the independent
ticket. 1t was far better to vote for a
man who was true to his party. He stated
that the Independents were going over the
county trying to deceive the colored men,
and that they were using money in the
work. He alluded to the fact that in this
county and state the democratic tax
payers we're the true friends of the col
ored people, as it was democratic legis-
lation and democratic money giving to
their race the magnificent schools they
enjoy. He warned his people against the
white republicans in the state, and de-
clared that nowhere in all the south had
they ever accomplished one thing to ben
eft the colored people. They were after
office, and when they got the co!ored
mans vote they were done with him. He
was free man, and in this election he
proposed to vote as one. The indie
pendent ticket was not republican
ticket, and as a republican ne was
under no obligation to support it.
Professor Black made spirited reply,
which was full of wit and sarcasm. He

A New Citizen.

Mr.. Sidon Harris, attorney at law, lately
of San Saba, has removed to Austin and
taken Offices in the Temporary capitol
building. He comes to our city well
come citizen, and leaves hearty regrets
among his old associates. Speaking of
his departure the San Saba News says:
"San Saba regrets to lose him. He is a
good, true man, a splendid lawyer, and
his removal will be real loss to the
community. We have no doubt he will
succeed in Austin"
The STATESMAN extends cordial greet
ing to Mr.. Harris, and wishes for him q
pleasant and profitable life at the state
capital.

THE REFORMATORY.
The Home for Youthful Criminals
Completed.

A STATESMAN reporter yesterday met
Mr.. j. B. Smith, the contractor to build
the State reformatory near Gainesville, and
he reported the buildings completed and
about ready to receive criminals.
Mr.. Smith settled up everything Friday
last and turned the building over to the
state.
1t has capacity for 200 convicts with &C.
commodations for officers and workshops.
In addition to the trades, however, the
convicts will be required to do farm labor,
tract of 700 acres being enclosed for
that purpose.
1t is proposed that convicts under Is
years cd now in the state prisons will be
transferred to the reformatory.
Mr.. Smith has the contract to build the
orphan asylum at Oorsicana, and has
begun work on it.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-10-18

insisted that Taylor was disgruntled
because the county convention refused to
nominate him for county commissioner.
He urged that the independent ticket was
really republican ticket, because the
democrats on it would never go with the
democratic party again; that the party,
so to speak, would never redeem them.
Both speakers did well. Indeed, gentle
men who have been attending the politi-
cal gatherings say it was the most
interesting one yet held.

become leading article of trade. The
development of such an industry would
prove of great benefit to the south, and
would largely increase the demand for
cotton seed. The manufacture of cotton
seed oil is rapidly growing, and many
new mills are being built, but the bust
ness will develop to still greater proper
tions if cotton seed oil should become an
important substitute for hog lard. And
it seems it will. Where used it is pro-
nounc' very superior, excelling, it is said,
the finest and purest of hog lard. "The
sun do move" and so does southern pro-
duets.

The agitation of the adulterated lard
business through the recent congressional
investigation has resulted in the organizs-
