art'ing Corruption.

NEWPORT, R. l., May BIN the genera
assembly this morning the report from
the committee on elections, concerning the
Black Island bribery cases, was read. The
report stated that IS to 100 men were
bribed to vote for John G. Shafield, Jr',
republican, who holds the seat, and that
$25 to 800 was paid for votes. The cor
ruption revealed by the report was almost
impossible to believe. The republicans
made counter charges against the demo
Gratis of similar proceedings. With tine
report was a resolution that Shaffi9ld was
not legally elected and not entitled to his
seat in the house, and that Christopher e..
Champlin was entitled to the seat held by
Shaffield. The nCuse voted 40 to 81 to
continue the matter to the January ses-
zion.

BLAINE AND MALONE.

There was so little of stereotype about
the interview of the Fort Worth delega-
ton with Blaine the other day that the
very informally of the talk between
these representative citizens from diff
fereIt and distant sections of the great
republic is positively refreshing. The dia-
logue betweed Blaine and Mr.. Malone,
editor of the Gazette, the one personating
the journalism of the south, the other a
great government and the party in power,
was one of the most natural things in
the world. There was no
put on" no strained Formally, but these
two representative men talked as one
neighbor talks to another, in every day
language, but in dialects that forcibly ex-
pressed the wishes of each. Mr.. Malone,
whilst inviting the "Plumed knight to
Texas, very adroitly-for an editor-rupg
in something about the administration,
showing to the country its ability to rise
superior to mere partisanship, to
which Blaine assented. The words
spoken were commonplace, but
the interview of Blaine end she
Texsns may have an agreeable effect
throughout the country. Evidently Mr..
Malone has shown himself as apt diplo-
amtist as a successful editor.

THE FUTURE OF AUSTIN.

In few years, if properly awaited Of
Austin is destined to be one of the largest
cities in Texas. The reasons for this are
apparent to all and hardly iced be reiter-
ated. In the frat place, we are the capital
of a great state, whose resources are Him
liable, whose growth in material wealth Is
progressing at a ratio that will make
Texas in the near future the richest state
in the galaxy of states. The wealth of
Texas will be reflected upon its capital
and millions added to the millions
already expended here by the state gov
eminent, all of which influences the pros
perity of the city. The revenues derived
by the trade of Austin from state expend-
itures in our midst 60 very far toward
sustaining it. But we have other and far
better prospects than this. The country
tributary to our trade, and which we can
make always so, is annually developing
in wealth that arises from advancing ag-
riculsure, stock raising and kindred inter
ests, and prosperous surroundings are es-
sential to the growth of all towns. An
other thing: The superiority of Austin
as residence city, over every other city
in the south--its advantages as an educa-
tional center, it's unsurpassed healthful
ness and beautiful scenery will continue
to attract people of wealth and comfort
able circumstances from different parts
of the state here to make their homes and
educate their children. And then, which
is now most important, if a system Of
manufactures is started-as they must and
will be-Austin, in this new field, will
gather both riches and population
These are no visionary theories, but
are based on incontestable prem
ses. Those who live to see it
five years from to-day will see real estate
run up to boom prices, and Austin city
Of fifty thousand people, all prosperous
and happy; the whirl Of machinery will
everywhere be heard; trade will be firm,
and there will be unmistakable evidences
of thrift running through all classes of
our people. The state government, the
University and our local advantages have,
to this time, done their full share in the
work hitherto aocomplished-it is the duty
and privilege of our citizens now to start
the new era of manufactures, which, in
turn, will soon bring in their wake in
creased railroad facilities.
