The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-03-21

The Texas Veteran association at their
last annual session unanimously accepted
an invitation to hold their next meeting
in Austin, and on the 18th of next month
they will convene here. At citizens
meeting held last night strong commit
tees, as will be seen by reference to the
local columns, we're appointed to arrange
for receiving and entertaining the old
veterans, and it behooves every citizen to
render all the encouragement and aid pos
sible. The old battle-soarred soldiers of
the republic should have and must have
royal reception.

The meridens Meet Crushing Defeat
 to 3-Great Work by Swords on His
 First Appearance With New Haven
 -Cunnfngham Takes but one Rush
 From ConnOrs.
 The New Ravens had walk-over with the 4eridsns at the rink last night and defeated them to 8. One goal credited to Meriden was accidentally caged by Reed. The team work of the New Ravens have seldom been excelled.
 The game abounded throughout with bril- liant plays by the home players.
 Of the Meridens Curley and Smith were about the only ones who did anything. Cur ley was frequently applauded.
 But did you see Swords'
 It was his first game with the New Ravens and his playing was simply great.
 He has clear head, and besides is a hard driver. Another thing, he is quick and can hit the ball to perfection on the fly. Several times he hit at the air as the ball bounded toward him. He hugs the opposing cage. In fact, he is a strong player, and he has made fine impression here. And Connorsl
 He took twelve out of the thirteen rushes from Cunningham. Hill put up splendid game, and Phelsn again showed that he is the best half-back in the league. Reed deserves great praise for stopping some apparently safe drives. Hill is becoming noted for long and care full drives. Last night he sent the ball past Curley from center. He was find $2 for tripping Pierce who had a sure shot for goal. If the New Ravens play such team game in Bridgeport tonight, as they did last night, they will surely win. The home team last night caged the ball four times, but there wasn't beeswsx enough on it 10 make it stay. The soOre.

Orient and Occident.


 One of the ladies receiving calls Thursday in one of Washington's fine houses dressed in plain black, with no appearance of white, except narrow strip of linen at her throat and wrists. Her gown was almost perfectly plain. Her hair was brushed smoothly back and knotted upon her neck. There was not a particle of jewelry or ornamentation visible. In manner as unaffected as she was plain in attire she was charning hostess.
 In another beautiful home one of the la dies receiving wore superb gown, as costly and sumptuous costume as ever an empress owned, and her jewels were worth the ran- som of king. In her hair, at her throat, upon her hands, pendent from her ears blazed such precious stones as seldom see their rivals in democratic homes of America or royal courts abroad. Not only there, but even into the folds and trimmings of the bodice and skirt the sparkling jewels went, and the stately lady made light the dimnesa of the great parlors as she moved about in graceful entertainment of her guests.
 The frstlady was the daughter of a Sena- tor from an Atlantic coast State. The sec ond the wife of Senator of a Pacific coast State.

Wonderful Endurance of a horse.
 From the San Diago Union1

On Saturday night, while driving in the dark, gentleman who resides at Chula Wis
 ta ran his team against post near the Na-
 tional City Carriage Factory. The horses
 broke away and disappeared in the darkness,
 the driver thrown out upon the ground, but
 without suffering serious injury. The next
 morning one of the horses was found at the
 stable door, but the other did not make its
 appearance, and although 8 thorough search
 was made for the missing animal, it could
 not be found. Early Christmas morning,
 however, man reported in National City
 that horse was mired in the marshy tide lands at the mouth of the Sweetwater, and
 MT. McHenry and 8 companion went out
 with team and ropes to rescue the ani-
 nal if it was found alive. The tide was in
 when the rescuing party arrived on the scene, and only the poor horse's head ap- peared above the water. After several hours of hard work rope more than 300 feet long was made fast about the body of the horse, and he was finally hauled up on solid ground. Although exhausted and be- numbed with cold so that it could not stand on its feet, the horse was still
 alive, and by rubbing and the warmth of 6 | fire, was saved. The poor animal had been exposed to the clements and drenched with | the tides, without food or drink from Sat l urday night until Tuesday afternoon, nearly three days and nights. n z;5 ..

A NOTABLE PRECEDENT.

The Republicans in the last congress
broke the quorum, as they coald almost
always do with 4 Democratic majority
Of nine, in order to prevent contested
case from California reaching vote in
the two years. They cannot well com
plain if the Democrats shall see fit to
initiate their example and adopt their
precedent in such matters. The COM
mittee is going to work after the hOli-
days with a rapidity utterly foreign to
such lines of congressional inquiry, and
in a brief time proposes to have the en-
tire seventeen contests ready for report.
A few Of the contests have nothing to
distinguish them from the general run
of contests, but the larger number
would never have been brought if the
party had not a majority in the house.
There are three contestants from
Mississippi, the slOweSt of whom
was beaten at the election 700
votes, the others being $3.50 and S.161.
The latter, who failed of an election by
over 5000, is CHALMERS, the man whom
the Republicans so unkindIy used to
speak of as the Butcher of Fort Pill
low" In the Tenth district of Ten
nessee the Republican contestant lacked
S.419 votes of an election, and one in
the Fourth district of Alabama was de-
feated by 1853 votes. In nine of the
seventeen cases there was not one that
came within 1.S0O votes OF an election.
1t is burlesque upon popular repre-
sentation to admit such Claims. but their
votes will be needed to carry through
the law to put elections under control
of the general government. the subsidy,
tariff and other measures.

A FRIG HTENED STATESMAN.

Senator ALLISON has found it neces-
Sary to visit Iowa to look after his Sena-
orial forces. There is some apprehen-
sion evident, as romantic reports are
sent out from Washington as to the
largeness of the seat he fills in the SEN
ate and the veteran character of his
public service, while the party lash is
being swung vigorously in Iowa about
the backs that are suspected OF being
inclined to weaken. The Farmers alli-
ance in his state is demanding his scalp
as representative of the Spectators of
Wall street. and not in line with their
interests. They insist that he is the
Jonah that makes the old party ship
totter in the popular tempests. If they
are not mistaken, they will hold the
party responsible for his election. There
is no doubt that they can make consid-
cradle showing at the ballot box, and
there will be a fine opportunity for them
next fall, as the party machine will evil
IDENTIFY carry the senator through.

HELPING THE DEMOCRATS

A diSgruntled Ohio Republican says
the Democrats are better off than if
they had elected CLEVELAND. In his
opinion HARRISON is doing more TO
build up the Democratic party and to
assure its permanent control OF national
affairs in the future than CLEVELAND
could have done if he had been preSi-
dent. While this individual opinion is
probably founded upon personal disap-
pointment and the resultant souTneSS
of temper which arises in man when
he wants Office and can't get it, still
there is a good deal of sound philosophy
in it. Take the Virginia election, for
instance, where the president lent the
power of the administration to force
MAHoNE'S nomination for governor
when the local party leaders were Wig
orOuSly protesting against it. The re-
suit was to take Virginia out of
the list of Republican states and
to make it Democratic by majority
that could never have been attained
under Mr.. CLEYELAND'S administra-
ton. The meddleSome hand of the
HARRISON administration likewise con-
lTlOulSU 10 Tue IcSuilS ia OiliO anu IOWA.
and. in fact, there has not been state
election this year where the Republi-
cans would not have been better off if
HARRISON had not been president. The
reason that Mr.. CLEVELAND was not
particularly serviceable as a partisan
while occupying the presidential Office
was that he was willing to let the peO-
pie govern. and always considered hi M
self in the light of trustee. 1t is Just
the reverse with President HARRISON.
He goes to the other extreme, cOnSid-
ering himself as the supreme source of
all power; and that whatever authority
is exercised by subOrdinates. is merely
apower delegated by himself. He has
assumed dictatorship over his party,
and proposes to rule it with a rod of
iron. President HARRISoN'S mistake is
i'll SuppOSing himself TO be an ANDREW
JACKSON. The latter could rule and
hold his party together, but HARRISON
is making miserable failure of the die
tator role. That disgruntled Ohio Re-
publican is probably right when he says
the Democrats will be the real benefci-
aries of the HARRISON administration.

SONS oFTHE REVOLUTION

AS people, or as individuals, we can
never 90 too farm the direction of cult
waiting patriotism. There is a great deal
of the spread eagle sort, it is true, but it
is better that than none at all. And yet
there is happy medium where the
patriotic impulses can be stimulated
without any necessity for stopping
over. 1t occurs 10 us that nothing better
in this line could be established than
the movement which originated at the
late New York centennial and has cul-
minated in the formation of the society
of Sons of the Revolution. This society,
which is purely national in its scope and
founded on the highest order of patri-
OtiSm, has so rapidly extended IFS work
that branch societies have been organ
lied in nearly One-half of the states and
organizations are being rapidly effected
in the others. The Minnesota branch
will be organized to-day, the anniversary
of the battle of Trenton, and there will
doubtless be some at the chamber of
commerce meeting this afternoon
whose ancestors participated in that en-
gagement. 1t is needless for us to dwell
at length upon the value of such an
organization. The benefits to be de-
rived from it are too apparent to need
discussion. 1t is not a revival of the
Society of Cincinnati, as some imagine,
butt is to organize an association of
the descendants Of Revolutionary sires
upon the basis that the Society of Gin
cinnati ought to have been organized
upon IN the first place. The orginators
of that society made the fatal mistake
of Incorporating the British idea of
primogeniture, while this society Is
