CHAPTER Ix.-YELLow JACK.

Like good many other men, Peyton did
not like to own, even to himself, that he
had made a mistake; and as [ could well
see, he was continually casting about in
his mind for reasons that might justify
him for taking the Lady Jane" in tow,
in forgetfulness of the French saying, Out
s'srcuse, sdcc1Lse. His very anxiety to
clear himself from charges which, as yet,
nobody had made, showed that he was
conscious of having committed grievous
error.
ST am very sorry about poor Bailey" he
said. ''Yet, after all, it is no more than
was to be expected"
az don't quite see"
"Don't you remember him handling that
body on the Lady Janef 1t must have
been then he caught the fever"
But that is two days since. He was
thoroughly disinfected; and if he had
caught the fever then it would have shown
itself much sooner. have always under
stood that yellow fever is exceedingly rapid
in its action"

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION

The outcome in Rhode Island was even
less to be expected than the defeat of
Roche for the Chicago mayorslty. The
facts in the Rhode Island case speak for
themselves, ard they indicate change in
northern political sentiment, or they il
dictate nothing. In the gubernatorial cleo
ton in 'Iittle Rhody" in April, 1886, just
two years ago, Wetmore, republican, re-
ceived 1870 votes; Sprague, democrat
1914; Slade, prohibitionist, 1885. The re-
publican plurality was 1886. The legisla-
tire for 1867 stood ninety four republic
ans to fourteen democrats and one prohi-
bitioDist. The republican majority on
joint ballot was seventy nine. Rhode Is
land has heretofore been one of the most
pronounced republican states in the union.
The election just over in that state
however, records an amazing democratic
victory and one where we could least have
expected it. The complete vote of the
state gives Laid, republican, 1882;
Davis, democrat, 21,35O; prohibition,
1,5l1, Chace, law enforcement, 3,435,
leaving Davis 1893 plurality, and, accord
ing to the dispatches this morning, lack
ing 549 of an election. AS to the legisla-
ture, with four seats in the senate and
twelve in the house to be heard from, the
democrats have a majority of four on
JOINT ballot against seventy nine republi-
can two years ago.
These manifestations of the public mind
in the northern states at this particular
time have significance the party in power
would do we'll to interpret as to its tr ne
meaning. There is evidently dissatisfac-
ton among northern republicans at some
thing the administration has either done
or not done. 1t may be notice served on
Messrs. Harrison and Blaine, who are
driving the chariot of state, to go slow, or
it may be the handwriting on the wall
presaging the overthrow of the republican
party in 1892.

THE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

After being harrass,d to an extent un-
warranted by reason or precedent, the
board of trustees Of the Austin public
schools have, not only by Legislative en-
actment, but by a decision of the district
oourt of this district, been placed in lndis-
pntable control of the school property and
the school funds of this city. Judge Key,
il his decision rendered on Monday last,
held that the board of trustees have the
vested right in the Arsenal lot property,
aud could maintain in its name the suit
for ejectment of the man who now holds
possession under the title of "Squatter
Sovereignty" and in due time, wherein
il is hoped the wheels Of justice
may move with more than usual rapidity,
the squatter will, by verdict of the court,
be elected from the property upon which
he has located and held possession in de-
fance of all rules of behavior becoming
TO manhood.
In regard to the school fur de-, tho court
rendered judgment restraining Assessor
aud Collector Sterling from paying the
school funds to defendant Ny rick, treas
urer of said city of Austin, and req uiring
both defendants to pay all of such funds
now in their possession, or which may
hereafter be received by either of them, to
the treasurer of the board of school
trustees"
So this vexed question is settled at last,
and for good. 1t is matter of congratu-
istion to the board Of trustees and to the
CITY that the gentlemen comprising that
board may accomplish their work from
this time on uninterrupted by disaffected
elements.

WEEKLY.
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED.

The Twenty first legislature has passed
into history, and whatever asperities
may have arisen from the clashing of i'm
portant interests with which it had to deal,
the verdict of the future historian as well
as of the people of Texas will be not I'M
favorable to it's ability, honesty and sue
cess. Humanity is not infallible. Legis-
latures, like meD, are liable to
err. But the impartial critic of
the Twenty will discover as few
mistakes in its acts as any of its prede
csssors. Possibly it may be charged by
the advocates of certain policies with the
sin of omission, but time may show the
conservative course of the body just ad-
journed was net inimical to the progress
and future welfare of the state. The
people will, without doubt, give
the late Legislature credit for
much important legislation whose wisdom
will appear in the practical execution
thereof. Many laws have been passed
redounding to the material interests and
general welfare of the state, and if the
Twenty first has not done all that was ex-
pected or desired of it, it has undoubtedly
done to the best of it's ability and with an
eye single to the best interests of Texas
aud it's people.

A REBUKE AND THREAT.

The heavy democratic gains in Rhode
Island, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri
are not without meaning. They consti-
tute prediction, a threat and rebuke.
They evidence the dissatisfaction of the
conscientious portion of the republican
party in the northern states with the
methods used by such INSCRIPTIONS parti-
sans as Dudley and the men back of him
who turned the ballot in New York and
Indiana into merchandise. They are
rebuke to the straight.laced, ungenerous,
proscriptive sectionalsm shown by
the new administration toward the south.
But especially does it look as if the peo-
pie meant to put the seal of their disap-
probation on the reactionary tendencies
of Mr.. Harrison's administration, which
evidences a disposition to resume the vim
dictive and repressive policy that marked
the administration of Grant after the war
"a policy for which the country has
grown too large, and that will drive from
power, as it has once already done, the
party that adopts it. The republican
party, last November, was rehabllitated to
control of the government on the tariff
issue-if indeed any special issue decided
the contest, but surely not on the question
Of whether the southern states should
again be RELOCATED to military rule and a
system of hate and prescription inaugu-
rated against their people.
That the new administration seemingly
oontemplates such policy seems sppar-
ent from the construction of President
Harrison's cabinet. 1t is more than likely
this is one of the things rebuked by the
unlooked-for democratic successes
in half dozen republican states
the past week. 1t is threat
from the people of the north-that
the same power which put the republicans
in authority can turn them out again, and
that they are strictly on their good be-
havior.

WAN AMAKER'S POSITION.

According to all reports the new post
master-general'is undergoing the penalty
for being too Independent and asserting
his prerogative of running the department
to anit himself, rather than the spoils
bosses. There is no doubt that, although
only few weeks have elapsed since the
Inauguration, Mr.. Wanamaker cannot be
written down as fully in accord with the
administration. He is carrying out his
idea of conducting the postoftice on bust
ness lines-with view to its efficiency
rather than making an institution for the
sole benefit of republican politicians,
their friends and retainers. GARRISON, his
right hand man, is thorough spoilsm an,
but checked by Wanamaker in his desire
to make a clean sweep of dem ocratic Of
ficials co-eXtensivh with the power of the
department. For this offense, the republ;-
can sena ors and the rest of the Harrison
ministry are down upon Mr.. Wanamaker.
The cue has been given the republican
press to make war upon the postmaster
general, and it is limited in republican
quarters that his place will be made so hot
for him that he will sooner or later
have to resign. He has probably found
out already that it is not business man,
but a dispenser of political hash and
chicken pie that is really wanted at the
head of the postoffice department..
Whatever may be his future course, Mr.
Wanemaker is acting too much on the
principles thet governed Mr.. Cleveland's
administration to suit the spoils chieftains
of the republican party.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-04-11

The Republic, in connection with the
recent democratic victories, boosts Pal
mer, of Illinois, and Whitney, of New
York, as the ticket for 1892. 1t is far too
early yet to think of the contest and strug-
gle of the democracy to regain power.
-Four years will bring many changes, but
if party conditions remain as now it
would not be surprising if the Republic
has named the head of the ticket. What
we had best think about is again getting
control of the house, which we must do
in 1890

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS IN THE NORTH.

Few things are more changeable than
public opinion-a fact that has been ap-
parent to politicians since the days of
Romulus and Remus. Popular feeling
runs high in one direction to- day and the
opposite tomorrow. The people, the
masses, are ever in for change DESTROYS
ode novibus rebus," as Cesar said of the
ancient GaUls, on whom he was making
war. In this regard the ten million voters
In the United States are not essentially
different from the peoples and natl )ns of
antiquity. They overthrow the republi-
can party in 1884 and downed the
democrats in 1888. They are Just as
likely to reinstate the democracy in 1892.
The popular verdict" is entirely like that
'ot a jury. There is no proguosticating it.
Last November the people of the north
surprised US by emphatically shelving
Cleveland aud turning the house over to
the republicans. The election of demo-
cratic mayor in Chicago and the sweeping
democratic successes in municipal cleo
tions throughout Ohio, Indiana, and even
in Iowa, day or two ago, are not less
surprise in April following the democratic
Waterloo in November. 1t is quite evil
dent from these recent elections that
there has been a profound change in the
northern mind.-by no means local in its
nature-since the commencement of the
new administration.

ONE of the last acts of the Twenty first
Legislature was the passage of resolution
proposing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition which, if approved by the gov
ernor, will be submitted to the people for
their ratification or rejection at the next
general election in the state, and if
adopted, will remove all doubts as to the
constitutional authority of the legislature
to create railroad commission.
