His father is confined by rheumatism.
 A fine stream of water passing through Middlebury strees seems the object of somebody's spite. It is much used for watering stock and culinary purposes. This is filled up with stone ever and anon in the night season. Just now the water is very offensive, emitting furious stench as though carrion had been put in to it. Last week, a telephone wire be. tween two neighbors was demolished Human excrements were found on buff falo robe in a wagon housed under d shed. Every decent citizen cries out against these outrages in Sheol Square and the perpetrators are watched.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN CLUBS.

A political campaign in uncertain
counties or states cannot be successfully
waged, unless it is enthusiastically waged,
and enthusiasm depends on organization
and concerted work. For this reason it is
that in all such counties and states politi
cal clubs are formed to focus action and
create radisl center for effort. Travis
is by no means sure democratic as OPP
posed to republican country, and this
condition OF uncertainty is increased by
the strong independent element in the
county, and the ability of the candidates
who have generally run on the indepen-
dent ticket. The democracy of this county
then is put upon notice by recent
history and by what it may expect this
year, to make such effort TO carry its
ticket through successfully as is due the
gentlemen il has placed on that ticket,
and as is due its party in the county and
the state. And, to the end that it may 40.
oOmplish the work ahead in the most ex-
peditious and surely successful manner, it
should follow the we'll established prece-
dent of forming democratic campaign
clubs. There should be club in each pre-
cinct in the county, and at least one large
club here in the city. This could be the
central club from which aid could be ex
tended all the precinct clubs. Through this
active and earnest organization an
amount of interest and enthusiasm could
be stirred up and an amount of work be
accomplished that would surprise the still
hunters and effectually oheckmate the in
dependents and their allies, the repub
licans. Travis county contains great
number of eloquent and excellent speakers
and hard workers. The disconnected and
desultory efforts of these will not accom-
plish much during campaign. But unite
this ability and energy, let there be CON
cert of action, directing head and center;
let method mark the conduct of the
campaign, and, each one knowing
his duty, at an appointed time
perform it, and an impetus will be given
the interests of the party unknown in its
past. These clubs can be organized with
out very much labor and at compare
lively small expense. The benefits of
such organizations will hundred times
outweigh any such impeding oonsidera,
tions opposing their creation. Those
having in charge the conduct of the
county campaign are respectfully referred
to a careful consideration of the situation
and a determination of the question
whether these clubs are not only simply
desirable but necessary to the perfect
success of democratic hopes for this fall.

the ma ority the side for confirming had, it
allowed the question to be kept in sus-
pension so long, while the nation was be-
ing insulted by this high Judicial Office
being made a. subject of political trade.
But the end had to come and the result is
as it should be, only that credit is due
those republicans who exercised their in
dependence and swelled the majority
that sanctioned the presidents choice.
A democrat is now to be chief Justice
of the union, and next year this demo
cratic chief justice will have the privilege
and honor of administering the oath OF
Office to Grover Cleveland, the champion of
democracy, who, during his second term,
will have other opportunities of chang
ing the political complexion of
this high court. Not that poll
tics should have anything to do with
the courts, hut when two men are found of
the same legal ability and in other re-
spects suited to the Office, the democrat is,
of course, the preferable choice. In this
sense and this way the political tone of
that high court will be changed.

PROHIBITION LEGISLATION DIED WITH
PROHIBITION.

The man who, in the legislature or be-
fore the people, would now advocate the re-
opening of the question that divided and
vexed the state so much year ago and
was Mt that time so Enthusiastically settled,
was decided in the negative by such an
overwhelming expression of the peoples
dissent, has not at heart the peace and
welfare of his state. Prohibition is set
tied, finally settled. The STATESMAN
earnestly fought the issue from the open
ing to the closingiof that bitter campaign,
and it accepted the result with satisfac-
ton. 1t regards the matter over
and done with, 80 far as any practical
results are concerned. True, there is a
party, styled the prohibition party, that
has at this election candidates for state
Offices in the field. But its following Is
small and immaterial, and no results will
flow from its efforts. This party Is the
common foe of both democrats and re-
publicans, each of which will this year
have full ticket in the field. In the
ranks of neither one of these parties can
the question of prohibition now enter,
for each is summoning its entire strength
to face present issues; the prohibition
issue is dead. The election will, in Texas,
result as follows: The whole democratic
state ticket will, of course, be ele cted,
and in the legislature the democrats will
still be in power, while the republicans
from few sections of the state will send
up as usual their representatives. The
pruhibitionists will not elect single man
to the coming legislature-it will be
democrats and republicans, and this
means, as it should, that prohibition legis-
lation is dead; democrat cannot pro,
pose it and a republican will not.

vomiting on the part of the patient, we
feel and hope that a portion of the water
is retained and absorbed, and in this way
the blood regains its lost elements and
resumes its functions as a carrier OF

much the duty of physicians as to cure,

duty to say (taking my own observation
as guide) that cholera infsntum Will not

PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF COLD WATER
is given at all times and on all occasions,
night or day, whenever the little one
desires it. And, further, would like TO

the care of children to lay aside any scru-
Piles of reserve they have in regard to
giving cold water, and to give 1t treel y
Those not able to let their wants be
known should have it placed to their lips
and left to drink to their satisfaction.
The ice mission which we had in st.
Louis few years ago considered to be
great charity, second to none IN the
matter of preventing and relieving the
suffering of those whose means are too
meagre to purchase this precious neces-
sity.
The only thing in the way of its &C
comprising its high mission at that time
was the prejudice of those having the care
of children against the free use of water
by them.

distributing ice to the poor again inaug-
urated with the onset of the heated term,
and the people given the assurance by the
medical profession that its frequent use is
harmless to the babies.

FULLER AT LAST CONFIRMED.

The United States senate has at last
performed its duty, though it was by a
reluctant and grievously hard effort. 1t,
on Friday, confirmed the nomination of
Mr.. Fuller to the position of chief Justice
OF the United States, an appointment that
has lain on its table for two months and
more. The vote on the measure Is not
what was expected, for though Edmunds,
ingalls, and Evarts fought the nomination
hard and bitterly, we fiud, including the
pairs, that eleven republicans voted in
favor of confirmation. These men deserve
TO have their names remembered.
They were Cameron, Cullom, Davis,
Farwell, Frye, Hale, Jones, of Nevada:
Mitchell, Quay, Riddleberger and Plumb.
These men would not obey the party
whip, welded by those venom -distilling,
dyed-in-the-wool republicans, Edmunds,
Ingalls,, Evarts, Chandler and Hoar. They
recognized the fact that President Cleve.
land had made an exceptionally good ap-
pointment to that high oflice-that Mr..
Fuller was eminently capable of filling the
position of chief justice of the United
States with credit TO himself and with
dignity and advantage to the union, that
he was a pure, an honest, man, and In
every way worthy of the honor conferred
upon him. These eleven republicans showed
their manhood by this independent
and honest vote. The wonder is that with

ANOTHER DYNAMITE OUTBREAK.

The plot of Engineer Brotherhood
officials - desperate sooundrels-against
the Chicago, Burlington AMI Quincy road
to destroy its cars, ruin its property and
blow up bridges, with the accompanying
loss of life, awoke the American public TO
the fact that dynamite deviltry did not
expire with its representatives Spies.
Parsons, Lingg and their assooiates-on
the gallows. The dynamite idea had be-
come too firmly rooted in the criminal
mind.
Now comes the still more fresh, extern
sive and startling conspiracy I'M
earthed by Inspector Bonfield, of Chi
oago. This new plot, still more
infamous and fendish than that
of Broderick and Knowles, be-
cause directed against individual citi-
zeDs and officials for discharging their
duty, ought to impress the people of this
country, and especially Chicago, with ,he
fact that the Shiny serpent of anarohism
has only been scotched, not killed. To
completely demolish this hydra of foreign
birth the use of hemp must be continued
and our dynamiters taught that the least
signs of attempt on the lives of others
endanger their own. Dynamitism and
dynamiters must be destroyed on Ameri-
can soil and measures taken to prevent
their importation from the slums of
European cities.

SCHOOL, STATISTICS.

The scholastic summary of the state and
the apportionment of the school fund
completed in the state educational depart
ment yesterday and published in the gov.
ernmental notes this morning, are not
only highly interesting in themselves, but
the deductions therefrom are of import
ance at this time. The whole number of
children in the state within the school ages
is 527,S9O, or 10000 more than by the
census of 1887, and, applying the usual
proportion of five to one, this rep
resents a population of 2,639,450. The
total number of white children is 1872, 7O6, a
gain of 1928 over last year, against 1885,
1874 colored, comparison with last years
report, showing the increase of both races
in about the same ratio. According to
these figures, and multiplying by five, the
recognized proportion, the white popula-
ton of the state very closely approximate
100000 and the colored somewhat in
excess of $4,000.
The grand total amount apportioned
these half million children is $2,285,451,
which is evidence of the liberal scale on
which the people of Texas are running
their free school system. Our northern
friends are invited to inspect the figures
and be convinced that Texas isn't the
outlying heather satrapy, republican
orators have heretofore attempted to
paint her. She is educating her popula.
ton, white and colored.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-07-26
A COMPARISON.

A comparison of statistics in the depart
ment of education, alluded to yesterday,
indicates the rapid growth of the popula-
ton of Texas. The official records show
that the total number of children within
the school ages for 1866 was 452,67S,
with an apportiOnment from the school
fund of $2,353,925; or, $500 per capita.
In 1867 the total scholastic population
was 489,795, with an apportionment
of $3,326,526, or $4.75 per capita. In
1878 the school children numbered
100000, apportionment $2,205,OOO in
round numbers and a per capita of 81 so.
For 1889 we have total of 527, 900
school children and an apportionment of
$2,111,0O0, being per capita of 81.
These figures show an increase of
school children in three years of $4,000,
representing, according to the recognized
proportion, an increased population of
$4,000 since 1885. 1t is said figures can
not lie. If SO our giant young state is
making grander strides toward power and
greatness than many of US imagine.

The authorities of the church of the
Holy Trinity, New York, sent to Europe and

under the federal foreign contract labor
law. 1t is a curious and unique case.

The ticket put forth by the county con-
vention last Saturday is an excellent one,
and the democrats of the county should
turn out to a man and work for its sue
cess. The political pot will not begin to
boil over until after the state convention,
bat in the meantime much good, substan-
tial work can be done for the county
ticket. Clubs organized now would be
well oiled and in perfect running order by
that time, ready to take hold in earnest
and make the political heavens lurid
Then let US form clubs and get ready for
the fray.

THE MILLS BILL.

The Mills bill has passed the house
by majority of thirteen. 1t will now
be sent to the senate where it is expected
sure death awaits it. But democrats have
put their party on record. They have
declared for reduction of the tariff and
consequent reduction of a revenue that
is more than sufficient to run the govern
ment economically and we'll. They have
asserted that they are opposed to hoard
ing up the peoples money in tho nations
treasury. They have said we are opposed
to extorting tribute from our citizens,
that the treasury vaults may burst with
the surplus, or that useless and extrava-
CANT jobbery may be INDUCED in. They
demand that the constitution shall remain
in force and effect, AID that only the
revenue actually needed by the govern
ment shall be exacted of the people. The
Mills bill has this object in view, it is a
step in that direction. To accomplish the
result sacrifices had to be made, and con-
test arose over the method of reduction,
not the need of reduction of the revenue.
Parts of the Mills bill are deemed IN
favorable to this section, parts to
that. The planning down process
hurt and the cry of protest
has very vigorously gone up. The debate
on this measure was the longest and, at
times, the most bitter in the history of
the country. That the bill, as now
amended and passed by the house, will be
acceptable to the senate, is not believed.
But, at least this much has been accom-
plished-the long debate and the action
of the house have proven very instructive
to the nation, and serve to point the trend
of what, sooner or later, must be. And
at this time the house, through its demo-
cratic majority, has mapped out the bat
tie ground for the approaching great
political struggle. The issue is before the
two great parties, and point has been
scored by the democrats in the passage of
the bill that the national convention de-
clared was in line with democratic princi-
Piles and intentions.

The st. Louis Repub lie figures after
this fashion: cleveland had a majority
of 6,512 votes in Indiana over the strongest
man in the republican party when the
republican party was stronger than it is
now. This was 1851 per cent of the
entire vote. Blaine polled 1919 per cent.
The remaining 2 30 per cent is composed
ST greenbackers and prohibitioniSts in
the proportion of eight greenbackers to
three prohibitionists. Harrison cannot
poll the Blaine vote, but if he could, it
would do him no good without at least
1000 of the 5000 greenback votes in the
state. He can't get them, and conse-
quently he cannot possibly carry Indiana"
This We believe strictly fair statement
of the case, and confidently expect Cleve-
lands majority in Indiana will be at least
twice as large as it was four years ago.

Hitherto all the IthORraphlc stones used
in this country have come from Bavaria,
where the mines have long been worked
and are fast becoming exhausted. Now a
perfect photographic stone, in large sheets,
