rHE LAVE GENERAL HILL.


The memories of the late war are
fading away so fast that the present
generation, that never saw an army on
the march nor heard the booming oil
siege guns, hardly pauses for inquiry
when one of the leaders of the stupen-
dous conflict OF 1861 passes away.
The recent death at Charlotte, N,
c., of D. H. Hill, who, as Confederate
lieutenant general, confronted the Fed
eral power, has commanded little more
attention than that of some private
individual unknown to fame.
General Hill was no ordinary man
In thesworld of science he stood high
as mathematician and scholar; and
as theologian, as shown by his work
on the Sermon on the Mount" his
ia ents equaled those of an eminent
divine. But it is as military leader
that General Hill will be known to
posterity, who will read his name in
the history Of the greatest war OF the
present era, when the best of us have
been forgotten in the oblivion OF time.
In the conflict, from the fight at
Big Bethel, June, 1861, to Bermuda
Hundred in 1864, taking part in the
great battles of Antietam, subsequently
Fredericksburg and Chicamauga, the
name and fame of General Hill, not
withstanding our indifference in the
present, will shine out to the admiring
gaze of other generations like star OF
the first magnitude in the same orbit
with Lee, Jackson, johnston, Davis,
Grant, Hancock, Meade, Mcclellan
and other great leaders.

Special Correspondence to the Statesman.
Mr.. Harrison has been happy this
week compared to what he has been
for several weeks past, notwithstand-
ing the kicking of the Illinois sena-
tors at the appoint ment of Mr.. Raum
to be commissioner of pensions. 1t is
only fair to the new commissioner to
say that the senators do not object to
him personally, but they blame Mr..
Harrison for appointing him without
consulting them, and besides, they
object TO Mr.. Raum's being credited to
Illinois when he has been resident
of Washington for many years. But
all this is nothing to Mr.. Harrison
when compared to the torment he was

Mr.. JOHN MCDONALD, one of the
candidates for mayor, this morning
over his signature gives the citizens OF
Austin his position on the burning
questions of the hour, the questions
upon which hangs Austin's veal or
woe. He does not mince matters in
the least. His card is an open, fear
less, unmistakable, flat-footed docu-
ment. He uses few words, and all to
the point. The voters of Austin now
know exactly where Mr.. Mcdonald
stands, and they must decide whether
their views agree with his. 1t would
now seem both fair and necessary that
Mr.. Male put his views and intentions
as authoritatively before the people.
The choice between the men stands
in the first instance as between their
platforms, and these must be known
that the voters may act intelligently.
Mr.. Males platform is in order.

THE Republican congress will have
at its opening five cornered fight on
its hands, in the candidacy of Reed,
Mckinley, Cannon, Burrows and Hen
derson, for the speakership of the
house. 1t is said the administration
fears the popularity of both Reed and
Mckinley, and will throw the weight
of its influence to some of the lesser
lights. 1t is not our fight and the
Democrats can afford to be interested
though quiescent spectators.

THE Mormon church rates its fcl-
lowing in the United States at one
hundred and sixty-five thousand souls
of whom one hundred and thirty five
thousands are in Utah. That terri
tory has in all only population OF
two hundred thousand, so there would
appear to be no hurry to admit Utah
into q brotherhood of equal rights
with us. We can bide time when
the proportion of civilized beings to
Mormons is not so disproportionate as
now.

To LAST Saturday night the pur-
chase of cotton at the Alliance cot
ton yard in this city was seven
thousand and three hundred bales,
the number of bales bought at other
points in the city being about four
thousand. This makes a sum total to
within two thousand bales of the en-
tire cotton crop marketed in Austin
last year. 1t is estimated that not
one-half the crop has yet come in, so
that at safe estimate Austin will
handle at least twenty-five thousand
bales, or nearly twice as much as las
year. Austin has regained her cotton
market and added to it, and next year
will see even larger purchases made.
She pays the best prices and there is
no reason why she should not handle
the staple.

IN THE
FARMERS MOVEMENT IN
NORTHWEST.

The statement in the dispatches
this morning that seventy-five
thousand farmers of Michigan
had Joined the Patrons of Hus-
bandry-an organization similar to
the Alliance of this state-is signifi
cant of the unrest of the agricultural
interests of the country. 1t is Won
der that the farmers of the northwest,
on whom, like their southern brethren,
the burden of unequal taxation has
long rested, did not many years ago
do as they are now doing-band them
selves in vast organization capable of
controlling the politics and legislation
OF their several states. The imme-
date purpose of the Michigan farmers
is protection against trusts. But even
if the cohesion of their organization
remains perfect-a very difficult task
with such a large body-they can
never so we'll shield themselves from
trusts and monopolies as by voting
against a protective tariff, which they
have not for the most part done in
the past.
But there is no doubt, if the farm
ers throughout the agricultural states
should follow the example of the
Michiganders and bind themselves
into a solid organization, their de-
mands would be listened to on the
floor of congress. The farming in
terests of this country have so long
been oppressed by bad legislation that
it is about. time for them to call a
halt.

IT has been reported that through

company have positively refused

This accentuates the interest
ing situation. Action on the

been stated their line of policy will
be TO advertise for bids for perfecting
and completing the bridge, and then sue
the King Iron Bridge company for the
cost of such work. The county has
forty-seven thousand dollars now rest

lis ford, and some other thousands, it
seems, must be sent after the first in

Nothing, since we cannot marry

blind, then matrimony is the only solu-
tion-the senseless old taunt, you know,

until some fellow tells them to lay it
down."
"True enough; but consider the con-
ditions under which a woman works,
conditions intolerable, impossible, to
man. Take Cassie for an instance. Is
her life so pleasant, her reward so rich,
her advancement so sure, the price she
pays for her independence SO fairly ad-

cious adieu, departed, accompanied by
Tom.
What startled you out of propriety,
old boy? Did you see Cassie crawl into
her box?" inquired the latter, when they
had left the parlors behind them.
The tone might be humorous, but his
face was stern and grim as Fate's; and
wonderingly the Captain replied:
II saw her, yes, but what does it
mean?"
Simply that the telegraph operator
of the Grand Windsor has returned to
her post from supper"
They were sauntering now through
the spacious and well-appointed office,
adorned with frescoes, tiles, polished
wood, and marble, and Arthur, in scarlet
fez and mittens, ran before them. The
box stood directly in his path, and espy-
ing it and the girl who occupied it, he
called out in his clear, bird-like voice:
"Oh, Uncle Harry, come here and see
this poisoned lady!" And with one
hand extended he pointed to the blush
ing Cassie, while with the other he
beckoned to the Captain, who in his
confusion knew not whether to advance
or retreat. Tom, however, was perfectly
cool, and bowling politely to the young
lady, who had doubtless heard Arthur's
remarkable assertion, he said:
Poisoned, Arty? - why how is
that?"
Marie says wooden soldiers with red
coats will poison you if you put them in
your mouth" and Arthur's round eyes
surveyed Cassie as if he suspected her
of dining off a wooden regiment, or
some such misdemeanor with her play
things.
"And what else did Marie say?" in
quired Tom, resolved to trace this nerus
to its end, though its links were of sand,
or seemed curious introversion of rea-
soning.
And Marie says if you are poisoned
you must die," with great emphasis,
and hand still extended, "and be shut
up in box !"
"Ah," said the Captain greatly re-
lieved, "our little boy knows nothing of
death in its skeleton form, but thinks he
has found it in its angel guise;;" and
while they laughed at Arthur's applica-
ton of his nurses warning, Tom said:
For your sake, Miss Cassie, l am
glad there is shining exception to
Marie's rule, and that one may be in
box and not be dead; and they no
longer regretted the mischance which
had given them an opportunity to see
so fair face in its lovely smiling aspect,
as Cassie playfully blew from her finger
tips the kiss she could bestow upon
Arthur in no other way.
What do you think of that for
nineteenth th-century, equality-of-woman
enlightened and Christian community
arrangement? asked Tom, when they
had left the hotel, and, seated in the
street-car, Arthur between them, were
Fastening homeward.
