THE YEAR 1880.

And what of the year to conner As ma
tions, states, municipalities and as people,
We have toiled in the year gone by not
simply for the present. but also, and in Il
wider, better sense, for the future. How
much of that future is to be embraced in
1897 How mnny plans have been ar
ranged to be perfected in 1889, and how
many such will reach fruitionH This last,
together with what new endeavor this
year we may put on foot, should now hold
our entire attention. As nation, we
now return to the control of political
party which until four years ago has had
charge Of our government since the days
of the great civil war. Has the four years
interregnum purified that party; has it
weeded out that element because of which
the people overthrow it four years ago?
What will be policy OF that party now as
concerns foreign and domestic affairs
how, which most closely affects us, will
that policy deal with the so1thH This is
in the lap of lSs9-how will these ques-
tions be resolved?
As a state we need expect but little
change, except as TO the two great guess
tions of deep water port and increased
immigration. Both of these we must have,
aud tits expected this year will put US well
nm IN thar sacnrament
As city and county how will we pros
per in 1887 And here We have it wholly
in our own power TO decide. We are here
our own masters; will we not rule our
selves arights We have plans on foot;
will we mature and perfect them? With
our board of trade building finished will
that association be power for good for
us not only in this and neighboring coun-
ties, but throughout the state. What of
manufactures? Will we put into
effect the plan of bringing the Colorado
river through our streets and bride its
power to the wheel OF manufactures!
And most of all, as of such vital impor-
lance, what Of our county roads-will we
build such turnpikes as will crown our
county with comfort and bless our people
with increasing wealth. Have we tho
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-03

enough questions to claim every moment
of our time-and will We in all these re-
spects do our duty? A year from now will
we be able to look back through the days
of 1889 and say they we're all well spent
and the work allotted them thoroughly
performed? This should be busy, pro-
gressive, prosperous year for us-will we
make it sol 1t is entirely for you to de-
eide, and the result is left with you with
the most earnest Godspeed to you in the
year 1889.

IT has been intimated in the dispatches
that the Haytian Republic would not have
been so readily and quietly handed over
to the American war vessels upon the Or
der OF Admiral Luce had French man
of-war been there in port. We don't
know how that might have been, but this
we think, despite the fact that it took us
nearly two weeks to get couple of YES
sells ready and send them to Hayti, yet
when we did so dispatch them we meant
business, and either to have that mer-
chairman or trouble. Possibly, however,
for our infantile navy the whole question
was amica5y adjusted.

WEATHER BULLETIN.
Something for Folks Seeking a De-
lightful Climate,

The official weather review of the Texas
s. ate weather service just issued gives the
following for the month of November:
The temperature during the first eight
days in November in Texas was consid-
erably above the normal. During the re-
mainder of the month it was somewhat be-
low the normal. The average tempera-
ture for the state was $40 deg. The mean
maximum temperature was Ga deg, and
the mean minimum tenn perature 47.5 deg.
Compared with the month of October, the
average temperature in November was
1872 deg. lower. The highest temperature
reported from any station was 80 2 deg,
on the 2d, at Rio Grande City; aud the
lowest temperature % deg, on the 10th, at
Ell Paso, the absolute range of tempera
ture being 65.2 deg. The greatest monthly
range of temperature at any station was
62 deg, at Fort Elliott, and the least
monthly range 1872 deg, &C Galveston.
The average range of temperature for the
state was Bib deg. The average number
of days on which the temperature in
Texas was above so was five, and on an
average there were eight days during the
month that it was below 40.

The New York papers are at last start
ing too long delayed crusade against
the fragrant breaches of the public peace
of daily occurrence in our eastern metrop-
oils. They point out the very patent fact
that the leading merchants of our nation
are compelled, at various times in the
year, to visit New York on matters of
business and should be guaranteed pro-
lection in their lives and property
while there; and they demand that
confidence games, the luriug of
strangers into traps, Fleeing
them of their money and imperiling their
lives shall cease. What do we of Texas
think of such thing! And do not the
northern people see that too long have
they inveighed against lawless (9) Texas
while the worst and most impudently
malicious crimes are committed right at
their homes and even in their largest
cities, that armies of policemen are sup
posed to guards The New York papers
are commencing good work and We wish
them success in their new field, while in
the meantime, if they attend to New York
we will see that Texas is "all right"

The New York Herald, in discussing the
outrageously loose system of divorce law
prevalent in the different states of the
union, and claiming, for a correO-
tion of the growing and socially
ruinous evil, constitutional amend
ment empowering congress to pass a uni
versal law governing marriage aud divorce,
uses the following illustration of the ter
rible condition of such law,as now enforced;
"a wife may be divorced without know
ing II, and for no wrong on her part. Do
yOu doubt iti Here ia an actual case; A
man induced his wife 10 go to Europe,
representing that it would be more eco
nomical for her to live there, and that the
advantages for educating their daughter
would be greater. After she had gone hs
applied for divorce and obtained it
without her knowledge or consent, and
even while they were In correspondent e
as husband and wife. He then married
another woman"
Don't such instances point terrible
example and a more horrible futureY A
pure nation must have purer social rela-
tions than such practices will lead up to.

IRRESPECTIVE of what particular locality
on the coast line Colonel Abner Taylor,
congressman from Illinois, may have de-
oided upon as in his opinion the most
practical for deep water port for Texas,
the fact that he has decided such a scheme
to be thoroughly practical and is deeply
interested in having it perfected, may
mean a very great deal to our state. 1t
may be remembered that Illinois was not
one OF the states that joined in our Denver
deep water convention, and it will help
our cause not little to have this dis
tinguished member of the delegation from
that state interest himself for us and our
port. Again, it may be remembered that
both Senator Farwell and Colonel Taylor
are Influential republicans, and that may
mean much when democratic Texas is the
petitioner and the republican party has
gained complete control of the govern
ment.

AMONG the industries projected in Texas
during the year 1883 we're 23 woodwork
ing establishments, 10 water works, 2
street railways, 20 mining and quarrying
companies, 6 irrigGtiDg companies, B ice
factories, 2 blast furnaces, II foundries
and machine shops, % flour mills, II cleo
trio light plants, 6 WOODEN and cotton
factories, 10 fruit canning factories, car
works, boot and shoe factories, bridge
building works, 8 brick works and
brewery. In addition to these there were
90 tablished G6 miscellaneo Gus industries,
besides the organization of 2s railroad
companies, and the building of several
hundred miles Of new railroads. Taken
altogether the past year has not been an
industrial failure in Texas.

The Fiftieth congress now enters upon
the home stretch. With the holiday break
over there is nothing to interrupt the
business of the session until March 4.
The senate is to act upon the tariff bill
finelly the latter part of this month, until
which time the reverend seniors will upon
stated occasions regale us with learned
dissertations upon subject that has been
worn rather threadbare. After action by
the senate-then what is the question:
Some democrats in the house talk of a
compromise, Others want to fight it out
on the Mills line il it takes forever. The
result would seem to be in considerable
doubt. But with whatever business is
accomplished between now and March
the Fiftieth congress will be recorded
memorable one--for its talk IL for moth
ing else.

JEFFERSON DAVIS BODY SERVANT.

James Jones, the colored body servan
of jefferson Davis, who was captured
with him in Georgia, has written letter
denying the statement that Mr.. Davis
was in his wife's petticoats at the time of
his capture. That settles 1t. Jones was
faithful to his old master after the latter's
capture and attempted to effect the es-
cape of his old master from Fortress
Monroe. Jones, who now resides in North
Carolina, is evidently honest, and we be-
lieve him in preference to those who, at
a time when blind passion and
prejudice reigned on both sides,
started the petticoat story, the falsehood
of which can never pass into history or
blur the great and tragic event with which
it has been sought to be connected. 1t is
refreshing at this late day to see old jim
Jones come forward to rescue-if that
was necessary-the fame of his old master
from being furnished in history.
