IosING ANp LIVING,

Forever the sun Is pouring his gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow:
Hts warmth he squanders on SUBMITS cold.
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow
To withhold his laryess Of precious light
IL TO bury himself in eternal night
To give
Is 10 live.
The flower shines not for itself at all;
Its icy Is the Joy II freely dffuses;
or beauty and balm II Is prodigai,
Aud ~ lives In the light u freely loses;
No choice for the rose but glory or doom.
TO exhale or smother, to withcr or bloom,
To deny
Is TO die.
The seas lend silvery rain 10 the land,
The land its sapphire streams TO the ocean,
The heart sends blood 10 the brain Of command,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion :
And ever and ever we yield our breath.
TIL the mirror Is dry and images death,
Togive
Is to live
H. is dead whose hand Is not opened wide
To help the need Of human brother;
He doubles the length Of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world In his sympathics
To deny
Is to die.

NyyATT a SHAND.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-02-14
CHANGING THE TIME or STATE ELEC
TONS.

The proposition pending in the legisla
ture to change the time of holding state
elections from November to August ia
eliciting very general comment of a com
mandatory nature. Especially are the
farmers in favor of the change. With the
election occurring in August the canvass
could be made during the month of July
when possibly the farmer has less to do
than in almost any other month OF the
year. Then the early grains have been
harvested, blowing is not in order, nor is
il time TO gather in the corn and cot
ton. July, of all months, is the time
farmers could give to consideration of
state affairs. 1t is also the time of
laxity in all other business pursuits.
1t is "between seasons" for the
merchants, adjourned court" for the law
yer, while with others the time matters
but little. The only possible objection to
the proposition is the small extra expense
arising from the holding of two elections
instead of one. But can that expense be
weighed against the advantage in conVen-
ienoe above mentioned to all voting
CLASSES and against the additional induce
ment of having separated state and ma
tional elections? Nor is it question of
fraud and its detection, as some alege.
IL is but in line forever to keep dis
tinctly defined what is of the state and
what of the federal government. For in
stance, suppose the infamous measure
lately introduced in the United States SEN
ate by Sherman shall become law; sup
pose our congressman are to be elected
under such system as he there
defines, and EvRrts and Others
counsel, do we want our state
institutions to become contaminated
by contact with such a spying, arbitrary,
absolutely despostic systemH With all
the strength within us we, as Texans, will
cry out against the enactment of any such
foul legislation as the Sherman bill. But
If republican congress passes it, what
are we then to dor We can at least free
our state elections from close contact
with and the consequent influence of such
example and methods. And even If this
pending bill of Sherman's does not be-
come law, every argument of state au-
tonomy, every inducement TO maintain
states individuality and absolute right to
regulate its own election matters, DEGREES
that federal and state elections should be
separated as far as possible. If they
could be held on different years it would
bs better still. The matter of cost does
not weigh feathers worth. The bill
should become law.

A Terrible Misfortune.

Senator Kimbrough-Joint resolution

among other state institutions in Austin.
Senator Maetze called up the johnson
resolution and Senator Upshaw moved its
adoption. Senator Pope's amendment
that the resolution shall not apply to per-
sons invited by senators to sit with them
was adopted. Motion to table was lost,
but the resolution as amended vas de-
feated by vote of IL to 10.
Senator Mcdonald called up the resolu-
ton fixing the time within which a mo-
ton to RECONSIDER" must be made. After
an hours discussion and a number of at
tempted amendments and substitutes, the
rule was left as at present, only the time
being more specifically limited to one day
after action for making such motion.
The special order, the committee sub
stitute on the road question, was then
taken up.
Two pages of the bill were discussed and
various detail amendments adopted. The
bill was then postponed till to day. The
president of the senate offered commu-
from the governor containing
an offer of two contractors to drill an ar
tesian we'll in the capitol grounds, with
ample flow of water, for $4,000. The
senate at 1916 adjourned to 10 O'Clock to-
day.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

The New York Void has this to say in
relation to creating special cabinet de-
psrtment to guard the agricultural inter
ests of the union:
The importance Of agriculture as the
chief source of our national wealth and
prosperity is not to be gainsaid. It should
receive TO the uttermost all the govern
mental recognition that it needs. But it
is not SO dependent upon the attention of
the executive branch of tho government
as to require a special cabinet depart
ment to attend exclusively to it's interests
while no representation is given to indus
tries which are not bucolic.
more just and useful arrangement
would be q department of industries or
economics, with bureaus for the different
branches as they might be needed. 1t
will scarcsly be claimed that We should
have secretary of textile fabrics, and a SEQ
rotary of mining, and a secretary of rail
roads, and a secretary of shipping, and a
secretary Of statistics. Many such inter
ests are generally included in one depart
ment in the British cabinet-that of the
board of trade. And it has enough TO do
to Justify its existence. This cannot be
said to be the case with regard to secre-
tary of agriculture simply in our cabinet.
In the form in which i: has been agreed
upon in the conference committee there
is no pressing necessity for making the
bill providing for new department a
law. Mature judgment, we think, would
broaden it rs above indicated. 1t would
be well IL the matter were deferred, and If
congress adopts 1t the president, with a
view to better rounded measure, would
not do an unwise or an unpopular thing
to veto it. There is nothing in sight,
agriculturally or otherwise, that would
suffer thereby.
The New York World is published
in territory of mechanical and
manufacturing industries. The
states through which that great
journal principally circulates, though de-
irving their sustenance from the vast
agricultural reaches of the west, do not as
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-02-14

keenly appreciate their dependence on
those sections as they should. Thus the
World cannot feel the impetus and tbrob
of the ground swell of the agricultural
movement as do those located Immediately
in the agricultural territory. Another
thing the World fails to consider-the vast
industries it hints it would like to see
dignified with cabinet honors are already,
under most unjustly discriminating laws,
protected even at the expense of their
feeder, agriculture, while the latter has no
hearing at court. Why should not
legislation and continuous executive
care be directed to nourishing
this cardinal element of our
greatness as a nation, this fountain source
of all our advances in manufacturing
growth!and establishment The farmer,
the true pioneer and the developer OF the
valleys and great stretches of country of
unsurpassed fertility with which our ma
ton is blessed, should not longer be com
PEELED to sue for recognition in congress,
or at the hands of the executive depart
ment. These men, the backbone of the
nation, should always have an advocate
and Judge at headquarters. We heartily
indorse every effort to dignity, protect
and advance the science, the art, the ne
cessity of agriculture. Texas needs it,
the great south and west need it-as a
people, apeerless nation, we need it pushed
to its highest stage of PERFECTION.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-02-14

UNQuEsTIoNADLY the preponderance of
the wish of the present legislature is for n
change in the time of holding the state
elections from Novemb er to August. They
and the people don't like the way senti-
ment on the southern question is now be-
ing shaped at Washington, and they want
their elections as far separate from the
federal inquisition as possible. The cleo
ton bill making the above change will,
we believe, ,unqusstionably pass both
branches OF the legislature.

BLAINE WANTS CUBA.

If Blaine in few weeks is to be our
secretary of state, his utterances on some
subject may be imbued with the charac-
ter of prophecies. In the interview with
him published in the dispatches this
morning the Man from Maine throws out
some most important and significant sug
gestiona. He says time alone, not agita-
ton, will give us Canada, which will nat
urally fall into the American union as an
apple falls from its parent stem. We
shall have to wait for Canada, says
Blaine, but this shrewd, calculating
Yankee" says if we want more and very
desirable territory Cuba is the place to
look for il. No price would be too high to
pay for it, he says. His ostensible
reasons are that We could, by sanitation,
destroy the home OF yellow fever, and
thus prevent any more epidemics like that
which ravaged the Mississippi valley and
cost US more in life and treasure than the
whole island of Cuba is worth. Very true,
Mr.. Blaine, but your real object in buying
the "Gem of the Antilles" would be
to pay out the surplus revenue derived
from a protective tariff, and thus furnish
an excuse for its continuance. Another
effect-whether it is included in the idea
of Blaine is a question-would be the ma
terial impairing of the sugar interests of
the south, and blow at our section by
the addition to the government of nearly
a million moro of eufranohissd negro
slaves. On these points, however, the
willy New Highlander was discreetly silent,

INTEREST, when now possibly it is too
late to escape serious ENHANCEMENT with
Uncle Sam, is being taken in the adjust
ment of the muchmooted question of the
proper ownership of Greer county. The
state has for years been pursuing with re,
gard to that territory the most imbecllic
and puerile manner possible. Had she
boldly asserted her right to the county,
gone into it, disposed of the land and set
tied them with her citizens, long since
would the question of title been settled,
and we stood no chance of having those
fertile and valuable acres swallowed up by
Oklahoma gentlemen.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-02-14

The legislature does not seem to be get
ting on very rapidly with its work just
now; but wait until the home stretch
comes. What time will there then be for
the overworked reporters and the poor
committee clerks, but the solons will be in
their glory, as they are never so happy as
when the laws are rolling of from under
their magnetic touch.
