The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-03-28
Is FULL OF ROMANCE

from his boyhood to his grave, and but
that disinterested history tells tine story,
you might believe that l forged the Incl
dents that crowd mis- eventful life, so full
are they of rich effect. The man that
speaks of Sam Houston does not need to
coin story, but the difficulty of his task
will be In selecting from the wealth of his
gems only the richest stones without feel
ing still that he has left neglected pearls
richer than those which grace the brows
of other men. He was born on March 2,
1898, amidst the stirring events which
mark the history of this great country,
and in one of the most beautiful and ro-
mantle spots which its diversity of sur
face has spread to the eyes of mankind;
that spot was at the feet of Che Allegheny
and Blue Ridge mountains in the God
blessed old state of Virginia; and within
stones throw of his birthplace were the
homes of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
three presidents of these United States.
There is some alchemy in that soil or
climate or scenery, or all combined, which
gives birth and growth to men who tower
above its loftiest peaks and write their
names in the skies, where men look up and
call them blessed lights. His father died
in his early boyhood, and, with his wild
owed mother, he moved to Tennessee in
the days of Crockett and Felix Grundy.
Here, for time, he led hayward life,
leaving his family and the pursuits of
civilization, its toll and drudgery, and
took up his abode among the Indians,
where he only learned from the book

A VOTE OF OVER FIVE TO ONE;

vote of confidence from a generous
people. Though his military life was full
of honor, yet in his civil lite his highest
powers were shown. He displayed in the
selection OF his cabinet q patriotism and
disinterestedness seldom witnessed. He
placed as his first advisers in his council
Austin and Smith, his two opponents in
the race for the presidency. He harmo-
nized all factions and gave to virtue and
talent his conscientious preference, for he
did not claim for his party what belonged
to mankind. without dollar and without
credit, from chaos and confusion, he built
the fabric of our civil government; he
found an empty exchequer and depre-
ciated currency; he paid the debts and re-
stored our credits. He found US sur
rounded by hostile and intriguing foes,
whom he drove from the country ana
established commerce with the world. He
found US surrounded by barbaric and
dangerous tribes of Indians, with whom
ne established trade and maintained peace.
He participated in the formation of a con-

this laying down of honors, ia the highest
evidence of the self sufficieucy of Sam
Houston's greatness, and, as will be shown
by his career in our own state, q crown of
honor nor all the cohorts of power ever
enticed him to surrender his manhood or
convictions, and that he could lay them
down as but the gewgaws which decked,
but did not make his name. Concerning
his life among the Indians history gives
us no light except that glamor of romance
which marks the protest of great man
against the glare and gaze of civilization
into the secrets and sacred precincts of
domestic life. But though the stream of
his life ran so long beneath the ground,
and we hear but murmur and see not
ripple of its great current, yet it came
back TO light as unpolluted as a star which
energies from behind the clouds. That
life gave him an acquaintance with and
influence among the Indian tribes, which
was great storehouse to Texas in times
of her early adversely. 1t made him with
them so respected and admired that he was

Martina Ferry.

The feature Of the election il Martin's
Ferry was the overwhelming defeat Of
Veezey, in the Republican Third ward
The Republicans have about 100 majority
in the wsrd, and Veezey distinguished
himself last fall by marching miles and
miles with the Republican professions,
and still the ungratetul citizens Of his
ward turned him down, electing Jonef,
his competitor, by handsome majority.
The vote was light all over the city. In
the Third ward both EdmunGs aid Patter-
son, on the Democratic ticket, refused to
run, and requested their friebdsnnt TO vote
for them, which accounts for their poor
howing.

WHY is it so many surier from rheuma-
tism, aches, paine, kidney disea.e5, liver
complaints heart affection, etc ? 1t Is
simply because they will moi come and be
healed. Al diseases begin from want Of
ilon IN the blood. This want of Iron
makes the blood thin, watery and impure.
Impure blood carries weakness and distress
