TEXAS MIsREPREsENTED.

In the appeal to the people OF the
United States and the rest of the uni.
verse sent out yesterday by the negro
convention in Illinois, attention is di-
rected to outrages on the negro in
Texas along with Louisiana and other
southern states. This foolishness of
northern negroes misrepresent-
ing affairs in the south
has gone about far enough.
So far as the people of Texas are con-
cerned such designedly untrue state
ments against the honor of the white
people of the south might pass UNI
noticed; we are not afraid of the truth,
but there is an ultimate purpose in
these misleading statements - n
purpose Matched in the brains
of malevolent white politicians
and which will show up
later along. We assert and defy CON
tradiction that the negro is treated
better in Texas than Illinois, and
when the negro convention of Illinois
charges that the colored citizen of
Texas or his family are subjected to
outragos in Texas, it states that which
every negro in this state knows to be
false

PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.

Whatever else may be said of Sec
rotary Blaine, he is one of the shrewd-
est managers in this or any other
country. He is handling the Pan
American congress for all it is worth.
The delegates are being shown over
the country much as II rich farmer
exhibits his plantation to his poorer
visitors. The Hispano--Americans
are carefully junketted to places
where they are sure to be impressed
with the magnitude of our manuiac-
turing industries. There is Il purpose
in this, possibly, unsupported by the
representatives of the Central and
South American states. 1t will prob
ably be developed later along, when
the congress gets down to business,
after having got the idea that New
England is coal to England and Ger
many rs n manufacturing country,
and that the manufacturing states of
the north are fully competent to sup
ply South America with the manuiac-
tured goods that continent has here
tofore been receiving from Europe.
The manufacturing countries of Europe
have not only OWNED this pur-
pose, but are alarmed at it,
however smoothly and deXterously
Mr.. Blaine may have attempted
to cover it up in his speech of welcome
to the congress. There is no doubt n
high protective tariff league between
the United States and the Hispano-
American nations would be of incon-
ceivable benefit to the manufacturing
interests of Uncle Sam. The opportu-
nifty now presents itself for initiating
such movement, and when did the
manufacturers of the north ever slight
an opportunity of taking care of their
interests? In conSummating such Il
scheme the first thing to do
would be TO convince Mexico, Cen
trail and South America that
they could very well get along
without the refuse goods Europe has
been unloading upon them for cen
tury, and that they could be even bet
ter supplied from the United States
that in fact it would be to their inter
ests TO cut loose from England and Ger
many altogether, which could be done
by the tariff league, whereat European
manufacturing countries are so fright
ened. The object lesson is now being
taught the foreign delegates to the
congress. Secretary Blaine is playing
it well.

He Is Able, Honest and True.

Denison Herald: John Ireland is
deep man, a close student and an EN-
inent jurist. He is also well posted
on questions of political economy,eand
in the lower house of the national
legislature he would be an improve
ment on L. w. Moore, the present
incumbent, who has failed to make
any record for himself or district
worth speaking of. Moore has served
a term in congress and to-day there
are many people in Texas who don't
know that he has ever been to con-
gress, so obscure has he been while
there. John Ireland, whatever else
may be said of him, has the courage
of his convictions and is man of pro-
nounced political principles.

A Tale of Discrimination.

Tyler Record: Texas has wooden
mills and cotton mills, and yet here in
Tyler, and Tyler is one of the largest
retail markets in the state, there is
not to be found u bolt of such cloth
manufactured in Texas, and all be-
cause the railroads discriminate
against home factories in favor of for
eign factories in freight rates. We
need a state railroad commission to
remedy this. The legislature has not,
and we are prepared to say cannot,
afford us the desired and needed re-
lief.

Object Lesson for Congress.

many twice a month, with Belgium
nine times a month, with France anu
Portugal twelve times month, wl'n
Spain six times and with Italy icn

Virtue Is Holy by Comparison.

North Texas Farmer: THE AUSTIN
STATESMAN received a notice from one
of it's subscribers to this effect:
"There are so many murders, thefts
and other crimes published in The
STATESMAN / feel that l ought to quit
taking the paper" Daily papers are
invariably filled with accounts of afro
cious murders and diabolical crimes,
and it is right that it should be. The
publishing of the names of criminals
and a description of their crimes
does more to suppress evil
than all other reform practices, even
the pulpits cannot do as much, and
we sustain the daily papers in expos
ing to the world all sorts of evil
doors, and it does lay bare the afro
cious conduct of evil men and depicts
the wickedness of the world as it
really is. The hordes of reporters all
over the world are as eager as detec-
tives to invade the haunts of vice and
seek out evil doors to hound them to
punishment by publication. Without
having pen pictures of evil the moral
element would not know where to
draw the line. Evil is made more
monstrous and virtue more holy by
comparison.

San Antonio ReiOicpS
From the San Antonio Express.

From the San Antonio Express.
The first deep water harbor on the
Texas coast will be located at Aransas
Pass. This much is certain. The
Topeka convention was of a class to
compel accession to its demands. In
three years time the commerce of
half the world will steam into south
western Texas. What this means
to San Antonio and tributary ter
ritory can be easily foreseen. 1t
means tens OF thousands of farms. the
opening OF waste places, an incessant
Influx OF immigration, Quickening in
trade in all of its channels, money of
everybody's pocket-in short, a per-
manent and gigantic development.
An empire will pour its treasures into
our lap. The country, touched by the
wand OF prosperity, will blossom as the
rose. No man will be denied employ
ment. Real estate owners will be-
come wealthy through an unavoidable
accretion of values. 1t is a golden fu-
ture.

THE NEGRO COLONIZATION SCHEME.
The bill granting a concession to
Henry Ferguson, colored, Of Fort Bend
county, and his coadjutor, Ellis, to
colombo the states of Ooxaca, Michoa-
con, Guerrero and Vera Cruz with cot
ton producing negroes from Texas and
other southern states, has passed the
lower house of the Mexican congress.
Advices say it will pass the senate also
and be signed by President Diaz. There
is no use Understanding the i'm
portance of this movement. The be-
ginning is small, as has been the case
with other and greater changes in the
labor of the south; but, considering
the gregarious nature of the negro,
there is no telling to what proportions
it may reach.
Ferguson estimates he can get
twenty thousand negroes from Texas.
Our colored citizens cannot well be
spared. We need their labor in the
cotton and corn fields. But if they
must go, their places can be supplied
with white labor from the overcrowded
northern states. And if all the ne
groes of Texas should join in the exc
dus, there would be such rush of
white immigration to this state as
would astonish ourselves.

THE STATESMAN does not believe
Mr.. Chalmers, the republican candi-
date for governor of Mississippi, quit
the canvass because he was not al
lowed to speak in that state. General
Chalmers is not that kind OF II
speaker. 1t has been but few years
since memorable canvass was made
for congress in the "Shoestring" dis =
trict of Mississippi. The republican
candidate was Mr.. John r.. Lynch, Il
colored man, while the then demo-
cratic nominee was Gen. Chalmers, who
canvassed his district with streaming
banners, beating drums, and booming
cannon, and though the colored peo-
pie were ten to one against
the whites, Gen. Chalmers as
serted had been elected. In view of
those facts, if Gen. Chalmers really
has been denied the privilege OF open
ing his mouth and letting the pent up
sound out upon the balmy breezcs it
does look like his political chickens
are coming home to rOost.

PHILADELPHIA RECORD:

PHILADELPHIA RECORD: Nothing
will do more to stitlen the back of
trade in the United States for the
year 1890 than the enormous cotton
crop of 1889. Cotton is the one agri
cultural product OF this country that
other countries cannot do without.
Four-ffths of the cotton supply OF the
world is grown in the southern states,
and the expensive attempts made dur
ing our civil war to encourage the pro-
duction of an independent supply in
other cotton growing countries has
not diminished the demand for our
great staple.

Air as a Cure for Dyspepsia.

When person is given to dyspepsia
as many people are by inherited con-
stitution and many more from ac-
quired habit, II great variety of cir
cumstances may lead to recurent
attacks. With some people an impure
atmosphere or hot, sunny and eX-
hausting weather, or extremely cold,
chilly weather, will be quite sufficient
to encourage the approach of the
enemy and to throw wide the doors
for him to enter. If a confirmed dys-
peptic falls into lower than ordinary
state of general health his one per-
sistent foe has it practically all his
own way and makes lie u perfect
misery.
Some dyspeptics have found out by
experience that Il change OF air from
town to country or sea, or from hot,
relaxing climate to a colder one, will
drive away their distressing symptoms
in few days. Bad air or air that,
though not bad for the robust, is very
far from purity, cannot make the
blood pure like good air; it cannot get
rid of the waste tissues of the body so
completely as they should be got rid
of; it does not stimulate and brace up
the spirits; it does not promote sleep.
On the other hand, in order that di-
gestion may be comfortable and per-
feet, there must be sufficient quaint
ity of effective gastric juice secreted
after every meal. But this requires
pure blood and nervous system in
sound working order.
By far the best thing for dyspep-
tics to do is to seek an immediate
change of air. 1t is often said of
drugs, or rather it used to be often
said OF them, that they "acted like
charms" Very few drugs, indeed,
have anything Of the "charm" about
them. But pure, clear, bracing at
mosphere makes such a change in the
blood and nervous system in a few
hours that it almost deserves to be
spoken of as "charm. Hospital.

POLITICAL CLAP-TRAP PARALYzED.

No one thing, perhaps, is so de-
structive to prosperity and develop
ment as uncertainty in land titles. 1t
paralyzes effort, prevents investment
and Improvement.
Every consideration of public inter
est and good policy suggests that the
effort OF those with power or in posi-
ton to WELD an influence be exerted
to heal, to restore and extend conf
dence, to establish certainty in such
matters; without, of course, any sur
render of the just and equitable rights
of the state. But in view of all the
circumstances and history connected
with the issuance of certificates for
sidings can the state now question the
legality of the acts of her officers in
the premises, even if she were willing
to disregard every consideration ex-
cept her own interest and good name?

this subject your conclusions may
agree with the construction given the
