FIRE ON oHIPiOARD. Sch. New Era Capt. Wal
lace turner of this city, last week loaded - tons
OF hay at Mr.. F. G. Whites for J. 7. Mcridcn of
Rockport Mass. The hay was in both large ;tnd
small bales, and the larger portion Of the cargo
was ABOVE deck. After loading the schooner
cropped INTO the stream and was lying at anchor
on Lewis wharf Thursday forenoon, when tie
cargo was discovered to be on fire and general
alarm was given. The fire is supposed to have
caught from sparks from the funnel of the cabin
stove The mainsail, which was furlcd, first took
lire and III few minutes the hay was abazc. The
lire department promptly responded, and coupling
hose on to the hydrant at the corner of Main and
wharf, taken into a boat, and with die pipcmcn
carried to the burning schooner When the fire
men reached the vessel they had $50 feet Of hose
out and big stream of water was turned on the
burning hay, while some of the burning bales were
thrown overheard, and went blazing and smoking
down the harbor. a number of burning bales
lodged in Swans and Frederick's dock where sev-
era vessels were lying, and string of hose was
laid across the wharves, but fortunately was not
required. Some bales drifted out of the harbor
Boats were out picking it up while others RATED it
in the docks. 1t Is estimated that twenty five tons
were damaged and thrown overheard The fire
men soon eNtngushed the flames The vessels
mainsal was badly burned, the boom and gan
CHARGED and slight damage done about the house
and quarter rails. The fire did not get below decks
1t was a novel sight to see iiremen operating with
their hose the water. But for the system of
water works the vessel and cargo would have been
total loss. The hay was insured, the policy hay
ing been taken out the day before the fire.

GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEM
SELVES.

We are much gratified at the hearty
response from many of our leading oiti-
zens to the proposition in yesterdays
STATESMAN in regard to the endowment OF
the Confederate home in this city. One
gentle man has agreed to give 500, two
others have subscribed $50 each, while
still another writes as follows:
AUSTIN, Tex, April IL, 1889.
To the Editor of tbs Statesman.
Your position in this mornings edi-
torial relative to the Confederate home, Is
the only correct one, and your example
should be followed by all those who are
able. Put me down for 500, and would
give more to blot out the humiliation OF
sending abroad an agent to beg.
The people of Georgia are responding
with zeal and enthusiasm to the eloquent
appeal of the SAtlanta Constitution for
money to build and equip q home In
Georgia for the MANNED and disabled ex-
Confederates In that state.
The Tennessee legislature, before its
recent adjournment, passed bill giving
the Hermitage, the former home OF An
drew jackson, near the city of Nashville,
as a home for INDECENT ex-Confederatts'
Speaking on this subject, the Nashville
American says;
at would be the Litterest of all suffer
ings to the proud-spirited but unfortunate
heroes of the south to feel that they are a
burden which their own people are I'M
willing to bear. The lavishng of long
range pity on the manned and battered old
Confederates is very cheap, and the send
ing of committees to New York to put the
south on its knees for the crumbs OF
northern charity is unspeakably humlil
ating."
This sort of talk has the right ring
There is no one on earth who would more
gladly and gratefully acknowledge and &C
cept acts of kindness and charity from
the people of the north than ourselves,
but we should not 60 there and impor'
tune them for unwilling aims. The honor
of caring for our helpless heroes in the
evening of their life belongs to the peo
pie of Texas, and we should jealousy
guard that honor.
We call upon our brothers of the Texas
press to join with US in our appeal to the
pride and generosity Of Texans to make
the closing days of these heritages of our
past history peaceful and happy. Will

THE FATHER OF TEXAS.

A correspondent asks us if we can pro-
cure for the columns of The STATESMAN
a copy of the speech ascribed to General
Hou ston, in which he calls "Stephen +.
Austin the father of Texas" On page 12l4'
to the Congressional GLOBE
first session of the Thirty-third congress-
the speech can be found. 1t was delivered
in the United States senate the first day
of August, 1854, and was in reply to GER
tain false charges made against him IN a
book published by T. Jefferson Green
The falsehood Of the charges, the base
ness of the insinuations, against the grand
cid hero and patriot stung his proud
heart, and, rising from his seat in the
United States senate, impressed
with the dignity of his sur
roundings and the gravity of the OCCASION
he denounced the author in terms which
could not be mistaken, and, in the course
of his remarks, General Houston used the
IOllOWluk iankuoB0'
"The book consists of 484 pages, and
vet find my name recorded in 1T III
times. It contains but one truthful fact
in the whole volume, and that ID In the
outset. The individual by whom this book
was composed has filled it with Islander;
INIT IL contains in the outset one fact. II
saws that Stephen F. Austin was the
father Of Texas. That is des'
ipnation Justly accorded to him
as will be testified to by eVery
man who is acquainted with the
primitive history of Texas, or it's progress
as long as he lived. Stephen f. Austin II
entitled to that honor. 1t is due to hi
memory that it should be acknowledged
1t ia due to his friends, to whom his mem
ory ia most dear and sacred. Posterity
will never know the worth of Stephen f
Austin, the privations which he endured
the enterprise which he possessed, his I'M
diving zeal, his ardent devotion to Texa'
and its interests and his future hopes con
nected with its glorious destiny"
Austin and Houston were both grea
men. They achieved grand results. Th'
one planted the tree of liberty, the othe'
protected it and watered it with his blood
Their memories are sacred to every Texan
and The STATESMAN, in common with al
our people, deprecates any attempt to re
open a question that should be permitted
to forever sleep.

THE NEW OIL TESTING LAW.

The Twenty first Legislature passed just
at the close of the session most impor-
tant law, providing for the inspection OF
Illuminating oil, so much of which is used
throughout the state. Thel was framed
not to collect revenue, not as tax upon
light, but as a police regulation to insure
the sale of only pure oil, and thus prevent
the many catastrophes incident to the use
of low graded and whimsically explosive
oils. But it has been estimated that a
proper enforcement of the law would re-
suit in a revenue of some $4,000 or more.
As we understand the provisions of the
law this money would go to the in
spector of oils and his deputies. This
would prove a remarkably handsome
salary for that official, after deducting all
expenses incident to maintaining a large
corps of deputies-a salary infinitely
larger than that given any state official at
present. 1t is not thought the intention
OF the legislature was to create any such
fat office, but that they never estimated
what income would be derived under the
law. The object in view was plainly sim
ply to provide a safeguard for the people,
while at the same time taking care this
should cost the state nothing. But as it
is, this protection is occurred and also this
fund of money will be on hand for dispo-
sition, for surely it will not bs commended
it should 90 as a salary to any state Off
cial to be appointed by the governor. In
what way then can it be better appropti-
ated than, after the inspector has received
an adequate salary and all necessary ex'
penses are paid, by turning it over to the
University fund, as we have seen sug
gested? That this may be the more surely
and effectively accomplished the chemist
of the University can be made the inspec
tor in chief and placed at the head OF the
oil bureau. He is certainly the best quail
fed chemist in the state, the most suited
for the position, and the appointment
would be conceded an excellent one, while
in addition, the $4,000 or $4,000 a year
in this way added to the University fund
would very materially improve the fnan
cial condition of that institution. We
would much like to see this idea prevail.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-04-18
A Handsome Compliment.

The following editorial appeared IN
Sundays issue of the Houston Post:
MN. ". Floyd, who for about two
wears has been valued member OF the
Post editorial staff, and lately correspond
ent at the state capital, has resigned
from the paper and accepted the position
of city editor of The AUSTIN STATESMAN.
Mr.. Floyd is in every sense worthy gen
tleman, talented, honorable and popular,
and the Post and his associates on the
paper part with him with sincere regret
lie has gone to a beautiful city and gen.
erous people, and the Post feels sure his
sterling worth will soon be recognized and
appreciated by them.
This is highly complimentary estl-
mate OF the gentleman and one Which,
The STATESMAN, even from its limited &C
quaintance with Mr.. Floyd, deems, in
every way, appropriate and merited. He
is rapidly becoming acquainted in Austin,
and we are assured the public in him will
always find an attentive listener and a
careful and conscientious delineator Of
current events. He is commended to the
courtesy and confidence of our citizens,
