THE FIGHT Is OFF.

the gentlemen who were arranging his glove contest with Nelson of New London saying that he is to be married in a few days and will not disgrace his wife by fighting. This feeling is a very commend able one, but it was hardly necessary to supplement il by q trip to Goshen to get
 Papa Platt to write letters threatening to prosecute anyone who should induce his son to fight. We had always supposed that Jack was crazy to fight anyone and at any time and are surprised to learn that
 he is in danger of being influenced to fight against his will. Nelson again assumes the position of state champion.

countries or with the east,
always, unless, like Texas, Ala
bama elect a governor and
legislature having the brains and
courage to liberate the state from the
grasp of a system of commerce that
costs Alabama needlessly ten millions
or more annually. The iron and steel
and coal of Texas is within one
hundred and fifty and two hundred
miles of tide water, and Jay Gould
has lost absolutism there and the ores
and coal of Texas will soon drive those
of England out of the Gulf of Mexico
and off the coasts of the three Ameri-
cas-, and Texas cities of iron and steel
and coal will outgrow those of Ala
bama. Can't Alabama, with proper
governor and legislature, do as much
for Alabama as Texas for herself?
Congress is the tool of the trusts and
we must help ourselves.

TEXAS IRON FIELDS.

The Birmingham (Ala) News in an
editorial foreshadows the Importance
and greatness of the iron fields of
Texas, and warns the people of Ala
bama that they will outgrow those Of
their state.
The News is correct in its estimate
of the value of Texas iron ores and all
the signs point to an early develop
ment of the Llano district where great
furnaces and mills will rear them
selves, and the mountain sides and
the lovely valleys of that romantic re-
gion be filled with teeming, tireless,
busy population.
The day is not distant when the
smoke and glare of furnaces will be
seen in Llano, and when it comes it
will add UNNECESSARILY to the business
interests and greatness of Austin, for
here must come the grim workers of
furnaces and mills to seek relief from
toll and worry.
The owners and operators of iron in
dustries must have their residen ces
far removed from the smoke and
fumes and hustle and confusion OF
great iron and steel works. They must
educate their children and nowhere
on all the continent can they find a
more delightful resident place or bet
ter educational advantages than here
at the capital of Texas.
AS the Llano iron industries devel-
OPP and become powerful Austin will
prosper and be among the greatest and
most delightful, as she is the fairest
and most beautiful city in all the
sunny south.
The News says: "The Manufac-
tureDs' Record speaks of the develop
ment of the great Llano (Texas,
Bessemer ore deposits, the finest ever
discovered in America. Razors and
steel rails are to be products of these
wonderful ores which would have re,

You are Right.

San Antonio Times: "The race
question in the south is a delicate
matter to handle. Whites and blacks
are in this country together as citi-
zens. They are likely to remain here
in the same relationship that now
exists. That they should live in
peace with each other is, from every
standpoint, desirable. Our material
and social welfare demands it. We
cannot afford to have it otherwise
We must have the consciousness
that our lives and property are safe
or the wheels of progress will turn
but slowly. There must be co.
operation between the two races and
Il firm determination to peaceably
endure what cannot be cured. The
agitatOrs OF both races must be sup.
pressed. Whites and blacks must say
to parties who are seeking to creaCe a
race war, hands Off The young and
idle white man who attempts to make
unprovoked war on the negroes must
be pushed to the rear, and the negro
crank who attempts to involve his
race in destructive antagOnism must
be given his walking papers. The
strong arm of the law must come down
on the lawless, no matter what the
color of their skins may be; peace
must be preserved in the south, and
there are plenty of peaceable, law.
abiding people there to see that it is
done. They must come to the front
and the signs of the times indicate
that they cannot come too soon. This
is no matter of mere sentiment. The
law must be held supreme, and the
hot-headed, rash, incendiary portion
of society in the south must be made
to feel its force and suffer its extreme
penalties. This is the remedy for ex
listing evils. This is the road to peace
and concord between the races"

IMPORTANT SUIT.

As will be seen in the local columns
Encouragement Hogg has instituted
very important suit in the district
court at Tyler, to declare sixteen mil
lions of dollars of mortgage bonds is
sued by the International and Great
Northern Railroad company fictitious,
null and void.
The petition, carefully drawn and,
comprehensive, is published in full and
because of the enormous sum of money
involved, the far-reaching results
should the state be successful and the
originality of the suit, the first of the
kind ever instituted in the history of
railroads in this country, it will be
read with interest.
Under the laws of Texas it appears
that railroad companies are denied
the right to mortgage their property,
or to in any way incumber it by any
kind of Indebtedness except for money,
labor or property actually received
and applied to the purposes of pur-
chasing equipment, constructing the
road, and maintenance and operating
the same.
The encouragement asserts that
the bonds in question were never used
for any such purpose; hence their is
suance was illegal.
The question involved is very seri-
Gus and important one, and if the
state succeeds in the case it will do
much toward reducing the watered
stock, or fictitious Indebtedness of
railroads, lop off big annual pay
ment of interest, and consequently, in
the opinion of Mr.. Hogg, open the
way for cheaper freight rates. The
final issue of this suit will be watched
for with interest.

An Innocent Editor.

One of our exchanges speaks of a
millinery store kept by very es-
Unable lady, and says that the editor
was gratified to see her stocking up.
The editor says he was never so as
tonished in his born days as he was
when the paper came out to meet the
millinery lady and have her strike him
across the brow with an umbrella and
tell him he was liar and that she
would tell his wife. He didn't know
what she was mad at, and he had to
read the item over a hundred times
to see if there was anything spiteful
in it,

Ills, Wills and Pills.

An old mixture of words, but the
sufferer from constipation, indiges-
ton, impure blood, biliousness and
other such ills, can be cured if he
wills, without taking the horrid, old
fashioned pills. These are superseded
in our day by those woodworking,
yet tiny, little globules, known as Dr..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. No gripping,
no drastic purging; do not cause COS
tiveness afterwards, as the old-stvle
pills do. One little Granule a dose.

AUsrIN,s BUSINESS HOUSES.

Merchants are receiving large in
voices of goods daily, and are prepar-
ing for an active and increased fall
and winter trade. Both the wholesale
and retail men say busin ess is rapidly
improving, and its volume will be
double that Of last season.
Merchants in the adjacent towns
should make note of the fact that
the wholesale houses of Austin have
in store the largest and most varied
stock they have ever carried, and their
prices are no higher than in Calves
ton. They have prepared to supply
every demand made upon
them, and country merchants
can easily and cheaply and promptly
supply their wants in this city. They
will find too that the wholesale men
of Austin are energetic, courteous and
accommodating, and dealing with them
will be a source of pleasure as well a
profit.
As to the retail houses it is hardly
necessary to inform the citizens in
neighboring towns that they have no
superior in all Texas. Some of them
in their large, airy and well lighted
rooms carry immense stocks of the
very latest and most fashionable
dress goods. To go through these
houses and see the artistically
arranged fabrics from the mar
velous and busy looms of the world
i alone we'll worth trip to the city.
Ladies cannot help being pleased with
the fall goods already in, and when
full stocks have arrived and been
tastefully displayed they will be
amazed at the quantity, the styles and
beauty of the goods carried by these
we'll ordered, wide-awake houses.
A visit to them will convince any
one of the folly of sending off after
goods. Wedding outfits, from the
most elaborate and costly to the more
modest; street outfits, dresses and
gowns for mature danes, lovely young
ladies and sprightly misses, can be
had here, ready made up to order, on
short notice. The prices, too, are just
as low as they are in any eastern
city.
1t is waste of time and money to
send off for goods when they can be
furnished by the Austin retail houses
at precisely the same prices, without
vexatious delays and risk of damage
by reason of long transportation.
People at home as well as lie
living in other places near to Austin,
will find the dry goods houses of this
city filled with the latest and bright
est of goods which can be had at as
low figures as are charged in all the
large cities.
Those of you who doubt this and
have sent off after catalogues, take
them with you and go into the large
establishments here and compare
prices.
You will surely find that THE
STATESMAN speaks the truth. Try it
and see.

THE practice of drinking cologne,
