The more We sec and think Of the working
Of the Farmers Alliance, the more We are
convinced that Il 10 bound TO DO good to the
country at large, II tse farmers will stick to
themselves and the principles Of the organi-
zation few years. 1t has already maze
ono good step, in combining the strong with
tho honest and iudusirisus weak Of the
order, to reduce the price Of supplies, ana
bring their trade, as near ss possible, now
to q cash basis. This step will almost from
necessity, lead to lower priced money, aud
capitalists will seek inapafial/ enterprises
for investing their capital, Through which
honest labor will find moro and profitable
en- ployment, money will be more generally
distributed among the N asses, and the varied
products Of the farm will find ready and
satisfactory home markets.
II will not ipjure the merchants iu the
least, to bring the trade Of the country 'oa
cash basis. Their profit 10 each cash transao-
ton will not be so large, it true, but II IL
} averages only per cent and the capital
invested turned over three or four times
r a year, at that rate, it will be nearly a'
, much as tho unreliable and unsatisfactory
, lien business now yields. 1t will require less
, capital TO do business upon and, what II
v .till moro to be desired, restore confidence

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-05-23

Cooper, in the sequestration suit, is in
contravention and violation of the eight
eenth section of the Bill of Rights of the
Constitution, where it declares that mo
person shall ever be imprisoned for
debt"
These questions are deliberately dis
cussed, and the court reaches the follow
ing conclusions:
First-Thst the justice of the peace had
statutory authority in this case to impose
the fine of 1919 for the benefit of the
plaintiff In the sequestration suit.
Second-That said fine was also legally
imposed as for a contempt of court, the
officer having failed and refused to execute
the process of the court. Grow vs.. the
State, "a Texas Reports
Third-That 10 addition to the fine the
court also had the authority to order and
commit the officer to imprisonment until
the fine and costs were paid.
The only remaining question for our
consideration, says Judge White, Is
whether the judgment, order and commit
ment issued by the justice are valid and
sufficient to authorize the imprisonment
for said contempt. On this point Judge
White holds that the judgment and writ
of commitment we're wanting the essen
tial allegation in cases of constructive
contempt like the case now in hand, that
it was in the power of Defendant Robert
son to perform the act required of him by
the writ, viz: That it was in his power to
execute the writ. Failing in this, the
judgment is void, and the applicant, W..
NJ. Robertson, is hereby discharged from
further detention in custody.

1T COST TOO MUCH.
The Sad Experience Which Befell
One of the Astors.

In the early days OF the direct tea trade
with China importers were anxious to Sc
cure the earliest cargoes of new crop.
The fastest clipper ships were engaged
in the trade. Great haste in loading them
was followed by hot race to reach New
York first.
The first cargo brought the best price
and large profits. The successful Captain
was always rewarded, SO every known aid
to navigation was adopted.
The young captain of one of Mr.. Astor's
clippers bought, on one of his trips, new
chronometer, and with its aid made q
quick passage and arrived first. He put
the price of it into the expense account
of the trip, but Mr.. Astor threw it out, in
sistiug that such an item of expense for
new tangled notions could not be al
lowed.
The captain thereupon resigned and
took service with rival line.
The next year he reached port long in
advance of any competitor, to the great
delight and profit of his employers, and
the chsgrin of Mr.. Aston.
Not long after they CHANGED to meet
and Mr.. Aston inquired:
"By the way, Captain, how much did
that ohronometer cost your"
"Six hundred dollars" then, with quiz,
zical glance, he asked:
"And how much has it cost you, Mr.
Astor?"
"Sixty thousand dollars"
Men are often unfortunate in the reiec
ton of what they call new tangled notions
There are sick men who refuse, sven
whent heir physicians tell them they can
not help them, to take Warmers Safe
Cure, because it is 'new tangled" pro
prietary medicine. The result is they
lose-life and health.
! Thousands of other men have been re-
stored to health by it, as the testimonials
furnished to the public show. These
testimonials cannot be doubted. The
proprietors have a standing offer of $4,000
to any one who will show that any testi-
monial published by them is not, 80 far as
they know, entirely true.
DR.. Andrew Wilson, Fellow of the Royal
society, of Edinburgh, the editor of
"Health," London, Eng, says in his maya
zine, in answer to an inquiry, "Warner's
Safe Cure is of a perfectly safe character,
and perfectly reliable"
The refusal of a manufacturing firm to
pay for the patent of new invention by
one of their workmen cost them their en-
tire business. new firm took out the
patent and were soon enabled to make
goods enough cheaper to drive the old
firm out of business; and many a physi-
clan is daily finding his patients, long
time chronic iuvalids, unaccountably re-
stored to healthsby the use of the new kid
ney specific. New tangled notions are
sometimes very valuable, and it costs too
much to foolishly reject them.

Lawn Party.

Last evening Fairview park, and par
tioularly the elegant home of the Misses
Habicht, was the scene of most elegant
"lawn party" The spacious lawn OF this
hospitable southern home was beautifully
illuminated with Chinese lanterns pendant
from the boughs of many trees and
gaily decorating the house. A spacious
platform had been especially erected on
the lawn for the occasion, and to the
splendid music OF Professor Herzog's Or
chestra the merry dancers bid defiance
t. the fight of hours and forgot all
else save the enjoyment of the time.
There were about twenty-five couples of
the young ladies and gentlemen OF our
proud Capital city present, and among
them many strangers from other Texas
cities. The bright moon cast its silver
light with mellow benediotion upon the
scene, peering where the artificial light
did not shine, and lending the added
romance of half gloom and
half shadow to the many suggestive
trysting places. Spacious lawn settees
inviting and chairs, arranged in couples,
wooed the strollers who yielded willing
homage to their enticiDg between the oft
recurring dances. Refreshments were
served throughout the entire evening as
the various couples elected, to recur to
the more substantial things of life.
In the dining room was presented a
scene of fairy like beauty. In the cente-
of the room stood large round table lit
orally covered with flowers, grasses and
fruit in mounds and baskets, while small
tables were ranged around the walls for
the entertainment of the guests-one
couple to each table. From the chande
lier in the center of the room to every
corner and side were festoons of moss
that formed beautiful canopy over the
scene The walls we're also decorated with
moses and many oolored grasses and
flowers and the whole brightly illumined
by gas and candle light, formed an en-
chanted bower.
The 'revelry was continued until the DIAL
liant moon was near the zenith, sufi-
cient warning that the hour for home
going had arrived.
