THE CLOSING CENTURY.

As form OF government the United
States are the envy Of the peoples of the
civilized world. The greatest statesman
Of the superb nation in government most
akin to ours has in unmeasured terms
expressed his admiration for our Consti
tution and the manner in which IT is
obeyed. Great in the men who blazed the
way for that Constitution, who indited and
set it in operation, we have been strangely
blessed in the character Of men who have
for the most part controlled the three
great departments of our government.
And at this time, as the first century OF
the existence of the Office Of national
executive is on the eve of being
rounded out, it is peculiarly fit
ting that the heir of Washington's
party, the democracy, and a man of Cleve-
land's political purity, should be found in
control of the nations highest honor and
office. The last four years of our history,
in growth, prosperity, political purity,
honesty and advancement have been not
the least glorious of the gloriously tri-
umphant existence of the nation of the
Stars and Stripes. The democracy may
we'll be proud of the closing four years of
this century and the man who has held
the helm of the ship of state during those

A TEXAS RAID ON WASHINGTON.

The republicans of the Lone Star state
are making tremendous grab for office.
To stand off and look at them reminds one
of the man who ia utilizing his last chance
for all it is worth. And the colored con-
tingent is coming up in force, determined
to scoop everything in sight, their white
brethren to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
The whole lot are in Washington, or were a
day or two ago. Colonel DeGress is said
to want the Mexican mission; Malloy the
marshalship for north Texas; Archie
Cochran wants to step in Colonel Gard
wells shoes at Cairo, as consul
general to Egypt, at $4,000 a
year and perquisites; Dick Allen,
the colored leader of the days of Il. j.
Davis, is asking for the oollectorship Of
Sabine Pass.
Quincy, colored, who owns the negro re-
publican party of Texas, is making dash
for the Galveston custom house-a very
fat Job. Quincy bases his hopes on the
following reasoning: He has always been
a Blaine leader. Blaine owns Harrison.
and IS, besides, the proprietor of Window
Therefore, if Blaine says so, he Quincy
will get what he wants to the great joy
and infinite delight of the people of Gal
weston, and the white patrons of the Gus
tom house in particular. It isn't at all
impossible that both Quincy, Dick Allen
and other oolored aspirants may get in
side, since the new administration would
like to punish Texas for that 100000 demo
cratic majority.

THE NORTH BASELY LIBELED.

An evening newspaper Of New York
city, "The Mail and Express" In it's issue
of February 20, commenting on the effort
now being made in the north to secure
assistance from private subscription for
the Confederate home here in Austin, uses
this language:
Why should the north help the "Lost
Cause" or it's veterans? These veterans,
palsver about it as you may, fought to
destroy the best government on earth. 1t
was by series of unexampled acts of
generosity that their lives we're spared
and their privileges as citizens were re-
stored. Why should we 60 further and
put premium upon rebellion by main
tanning in idleness those who fought that
their country might diet
Texas is big state and a wealthy state.
Is she not wealthy enough to take care of
her own INDECENT citizens without calling
on other states for helpr If the demo-
Gratis had been successful at the last cleo
ton we should doubtless have had bill
introduced in congress for the main
tsnance, out of the United States treasury,
of these "Veterans Of, the Lost Cause"
Would the people of the United States
have approved such billi If not, where
is the difference in principle of calling on
the people of the north virtually to PEN
sion these Confederate soldiersS
1t is time the people of the south wiped
out the word Confederate" and stopped
appealing in the name of the "Lost
Cause" II Texas cannot provide an asy-
ium for its needy citizens, let it appeal to
the other states to help 1t; but do not ask
us TO maintain "NatIonal Confederate
Soldiers Home" nor appeal to Us to
oountenance the "Lost Cause"
Hardly, in the same space could
have been written more of
false insiElation and malicious
partisan sectional hatred. The reference
TO the generosity" of the past is wholly
gcatuitous, and breathes the intolerance
of the faction that at that time, if per-
mitted, would have granted no such i'm
munity as that referred to. As to 'main-
tanning in idleness" those for whom this
charity is asked, @the Mail and Express"
knew when those lines we're written the
objects Of this charity were criPples and
aged persons to whom lucrative employ
ment was impossible. But among the
basest of the many filthy filings is the i'm
parchment of the willingness of Texas to
take care of her "indigent citizens" The
very smallest per cent of the inmates of
this home from the hour of its founding
have been citizens of Texas. But few in
deed of those physical wrecks are natives
or citizens of our state. This Home
is essentially national in its scope and aim.
And again "The Mail and Express" has
been well-informed the Texas Constitution
forbids the state as such to make an ap-
preparation for such a charitable purpose
as this. Individual contributions per
force had to be relied on. The charge that
congress would have been importuned to
help southern veterans, had a different
ultimate resulted from the late presiden-
tial contest, is too oontem ptible to merit
considerations fails of force from shere
inanity.
II it possible the Home has done wrong
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-03-14

in appealing as it has to the charity and
nobler instincts of the people Of the
northi If so, the blame falls upon the
gusge that was put upon the generosity
and nobleness of that people, and
not upon the cause of the Home
or the spirit in which it voiced its appeal.
But we cannot believe "The Mail and Ex-
press" spoke the sentiments of the north
ern people in the editorial quoted. For,
truly, do not the liberal action of the
Boston people and the earnest commenda-
ton OF the appeal by the great morning
dailies of New York city, the Grand Army
men of the north, by General Sherman
and Others, utterly disprove and repudiats
the ideas and sentiments contained in that
editorial? Such sheets of contracted
vision and enthusiastically small souls are
found in all neighborhoods, debauching
their people and humiliating them
in the eyes of the world-as far, at
least, as their limited influence extends.
The people of the north, in times Of south
ern pestilence and scourge, have shown
the proofs of the twinship of our Sec
sioAs, and that, despite the efforts of par
tisans TO prove the contrary, q common
soul, sttuned to responsive humane deeds,
beats alike in the northern and southern
breast. Politics banished, soul mirrowing
soul in one long repeating line reaching
back to the fountain source of sympathy,
stamps our nation a desectionized broth
erhood, united family, never more by
internal strife to be disrupted.

Advocating Good Roads and a Toll
System.
To tie Editor of the Statesman.
The subject of making good and eff
cient roads is what most men think they
understand, but have been nearly twenty
years in the state without either seeing a
practical work or hearing a sound obser-
walton on the subject, until the letter of
Mr.. Pope appeared in The STATESMAN.
The writer speaks as contractor and q
life long observer of such work.
Twelve years ago Austin's business men
subscribed and built over a mile of what
was called macadamized road from the
west end of the Stringer lane toward the
city, but it was built on exactly the same
plan as the Romans did in Britain 1000
years ago and continued in making of the
parish roads of Scotland till McAdam's
time, when they laid a foundation
of cobble stones and put
covering of small stone on the top. A
few years reversed their positions. Mo
Adam would have broken them up and
put the smallest at the bottom-and his
system is recognized as fact, backed
With the experience of hundred years
but even McAdam did not know it all.
Surface drainage was only in vogue then.
Fifty-one years ago the writer witnessed
what was said to be the first idea of the
improved McAdam. 1t was on piece of
road about twenty miles from Glasgow,
and, although fiat, it had sufficient surface
drainage, and eighteen inches of blue
whin metal, it was almost impossible to
keep good face on it; in the technical
language of roadmen, it "spued." Drains
were dug three feet deep on each side OF
the metal and laid with horse shoe tile,
and four inches of broken stone on top
of them, then filled up. 1t was
a complete success-it ia only some soils
that would require it-and the black hog
wallow is one of them-and without say
ing anything more on the subject l sug-
gest that those leading men taking an in
terest get some standard work on the
philosophy of under-drainage, and they
will be satisfied that it will answer very
we'll on all but great public thoroughfares.
G. g. Warning, the great sanitary engineer
of the state of New York, has q book on
the subject.
About the year 1S48 a ground swell
similar to the now Texas movement about
macadam and gravel roads ran over Up
per Canada. Every county town wanted
to issue bonds and build roads by taxa
ton. Not county could be got to vote
in favor of them as money was scarce and
dear. Eight per cent was discounted
to make the interest 10 per cent.
Then the subject was referred to the
government, and it was solved In this vay,
and almost every county had more or less
gravel road. The British government
was asked to guarantee a loan of the
united provinces Of Canada at (5) five
per cent and did it for the purpose of
loaning to counties to take stock in gravel
roads, or railroads, and build gravel roads
of their accord. Even then the farming
community could not be induced without
putting on tolls SO as there would be no
taxation. They, however, were willing to

The Express is authority for the an
nouncement that the Alamo Monument
association has determined to make all
necessary preparations for the taking up
on San Jaointo day general subscription
for the purpose of erecting on the site of
the Alamo a monument fit to commemo-
rate one of the noblest, saddest events in
the history of nations. Every CITY, every
farm house of the state, will be expected
to respond to the call of this most worthy
cause. Every dime will count, and contri-
buttons pouring in from every quarter of
the state SO proud of its history, its

typifying in most appropriate style an
historical event the memory of which

II has been intimeted by what may be
termed good authority, that Attorney
general Miller has an iron jaw, and, being
Harrison's right-hand man for years, has
been placed in the cabinet to take bull
dog grip on Blaine and hold him in posi-
ton. For, while Harrison in the line OF
politics felt constrained to put Blaine in
the cabinet, yet be, with other admiring
Americans of the Plumed Knight, holds a
shrewd suspicion that it is the cherished
ambition of Blaine upon the slightest
provocation to gather up these United
States in his arms and, stepping across
heaving pillows, let them down on top OF
any nation found making faces at u.s.
Harrison was not fully sure of himself,
and has called on Miller's grip to keep
Blaine in justified balance between the
Atlantic and Pacific. 1t will be interest
ing to watch Miller catch hold.

THE Republic prints large portraits of
all the ladies who have ruled the White
House, from Martha Washington down to
Mrs. Harrison. OF all the presidents
wives, Mrs. Cleveland is the most queenly.
In the picture she appears more like a
young and beautiful empress than the
wife of a plain democratic president.
