THE Washington Evening Star gives the
government an excellent pointer" in the
following editorial. 1t can be taken ad-
vantage of with great profit: "The policy
pursued by Great Britain in substituting
the construction CT strong, swift and large
passenger steamers for Atlantic traffic,
with q view to converting them into armed
cruisers in case of war, is one the Unite d
States might we'll study if not adopt The
English vessels are built exactly as if they
were to go into the navy and are armed
with rifled cannon and machine guns.
They are to be of steel, very strong, and
without exception the largest ships afoat.
Should war demand it, they could be taken
out of commission as passenger boats,
and at once manned by crew from the
navy when they would be turned loose on
the seas as commerce destroyers. The con-
struc.ion of half dozen such steamers in
this country would establish an American
line in Atlantic traffic and afford reserve
for the navy in time of need. That time
may be already at hand"

lone traveller, and not the stage coach, as
was alleged had been the intention of the
attacking party; and had no shade of allu-
sion to the manly and prompt defense of
himself and his property made by Mr..
Stondenmier.
Nor, in the nature of things, could we
have had any thought whatever of
connecting even most remotely Mr..
Stondenmier with the infamous
taking off of williamson. That
Harris was an important witness
in the trial of that case was mere coin
cidenoe-nor did we have any information
to the effect that any knowledge OF such
relation on the part of Harris to that trial
was in Mr.. Stondenmier's possession. And
even had it been, such time with a man
violently assailing you on public high
way is no fitting occasion to consider such
remote contingency. Surely Mr.. Ston-
denmier's high standing in the community
where he lives utterly precludes such an
inference as he intimates might be drawn
from our editorial, which was really writ
ten rather as news item than matter
of opinion. But we take this occasion to
publicly testify in this neighborhood,
where Mr.. Stondenmier is not so well
known, to the unvsrying and absolutely
uuquestioned testimonials of his integrity
and worth as a citizen.

NO ALLUSIoN TO MR.. sToNDENMIER.

We take pleasure in publishing in an
other column this morning the statement
of Mr.. Stondenmier, a prominent citizen
Of Llano. He wholly mistakes our mean
ing in the editorial he oriticises in that
communication. There was no intention
whatever of casting any reflection on him
in connection with the shooting of Harris,
who, according to all published statements,
held up Mr.. StoRdenmier for purposes
Of highway robbery. Mr.. Stondenmier
was not mentioned nor alluded to in the
editorial paragraph to which he has taken
exception. The 'shsde of mystery" had
reference entirely to the first statement
that came to us of the affair, to the effect
that three men had left Llano, and that
subsequently one of them had attacked

Dick Cunningham, the popular agent of
the Milburn Wagon company,is still doing
business at the old stand on East Sixth
street. He has a large and complete
stock of the celebrated Milburn wagons
on hand, besides large assortment of all
kinds of spring work. The Milburn
wagon for years has stood. the severest
test and to-day has no superior in the
world. Farmers and others in need of a
wagon will find it greatly to their interest
TO call on Mr.. Cunningham. His buggies,

WAR is always terrible thing, but a
foreign war just now would save us from
sectionalism. 1t would bring up a new
crop of military heroes, and such civil
hacks as Sherman and Chandler would be
RELOCATED to oblivion-we would get rid of
them, and so forget there is north and
a south.

CONSUL GENERAL CARDwELL.

The course recently pursued by Hon.
John Cardwell, United States oonsul-gen-
eral to Egypt, in the matter of the Swiss
citizens charged with criminality by Ger
man consular authority in Egypt, was in
line with the we'll known character for
unswerving Justice for which Colonel
Cardwell has always been noted. The
Swiss had put themselves under the pro-
lection of Oonsul-general Cardwell, who
was requested by the German authorities
TO use harsh and arbitrary measures.
Oardwell refused, but had them tried in
an Egyptian court,and their innocence was
established. 1t may be gratifying to the
Texas friends of Mr.. Cardwell to know
that, for the firm stand on principle taken
in the case, so characteristic of the man,
our former townsman has received the
thanks, officially expressed, Of two gov
ernments-the federal council of Switzer.
land and the government of the United
States. In dispatches from the state de-
partment at Washington Mr.. Cardwell was
also highly commended. In fact, if Mr..
Csrdwell retires under the Harrison regime,
it will be with the record of having ad.
ministered the diplomatic affairs of the
United States in Egypt with marked
ability, justice, honesty and success.

The Globe Democrat is evidently fgur-
ing upon second term for Harrison, as
it indulges in this bit of computation and
history: According to the law of average
and probabilities Harrison has about six
teen years of life before him, though to
Judge from his health and vigor he is
likely to live twice as long. But the aver
age age at death of our presidents has
been about seventy years. John Adams
lived to be 81, and Jefferson, Madison,
John Qaincy Adams and Buchanan were
all ootogenarians. But ten of the remain
der failed to see 10th birthday, and four,
including Lincoln and Garfield, died before
entering upon their Goth year. Compared
with some of the leading statesmen of Eu-
rope, now living or of recent date, ma
jority of President Harrison's predeces-
sors have died young"
