SAENGERFEST NOTES,
Grand Preparations for the Street
Pageant-Other Notes.


This is the last week before the Saen
gerfest and but few days remain within
which to perfect all the preparations.
THE STATESMAN had proposed publish
ing list of all those who will decorate
and illuminate their premises along the
line of the grand torchlight procession
next Monday evening, but our space will
not permit it, for although the line OF
march is nearly two miles long we have
failed to find one building that will not be
appropriately illuminated.
This will be one of the grandest dis
plays Austin has ever had. Governor Ross,
as one of the vice presidents of the Saeu-
gerfest will ride at the head of the pageant
with the other officers in deliberately
decorated carriages.
The veterans, military companies and
firemen will also appear in it in uniform.
There will be three grand bands in the
procession while brilliant Bengal lights
OF all colors will lend further enchantment
to the scene.
Ground was broken on yesterday morn
ing for the erection of the triumphal arch
at the intersection of Congress avenue
and Pecan street, and the timbers already
substantial structure, rejecting great
credit on the builders and architect.
The line of march of the procession has
been established as follows: Along Pecan
street from the old Central depot to the
postofiice and along Congress avenue from
Radam's corner under the triumphal arch
to the capitol, thence following the street
car track to Turner hall.
The attendance of saengers and visitors
from Dallas, San Antonio, Galveston,
Houston and other towns will be larger
than expected, and lively time is to be
anticipated.
IL has been proposed
that the public schools and all business
houses be closed on the afternoon of We'd
nesday, so that Pressler's garden may be
packed with fathers, mothers and chill
dren, beaux and girls, merchants and
clerks and everybody else. Let Austin
turn out en- masse on this day and enjoy
her spring picnic and grand concert.
The box sheet will be opened at Millett's
opera house in few days for the sale of
reserved seats for the two concerts.
Tickets for the grand ball will not be
put on sale. They are now ready and can
composing the invitation committee: W.
f. North, Max Mas, Frank Maddox, Sam
De Cordova, Phil Hatfield, Jas. r. John
son, A. Giesen, o. Samostz, Geo. @. Ben
gener, VIM. Besserer.
This ball will be one of
the most recherche affairs of
the season. The decorations of the ball
room are of the most elegant and expen-
sive kind. After having heard the instru.
mental members of the concerts nothing
will need be said of the grand orchestra
of forty five pieces that will discourse
music at the ball. No expense has been
spared for the supper. The executive
committee called for and received a mum.
Der of bills from the best caterers. The
STATESMAN has examined the menu pre-
scented by the successful bidder, and can
say that the supper will not only be cpl
curean in quality, but Lucullsn in.magnif-
cence.

IT is hard TO understand upon what
equitable survey of the situation the
Houston and Texas Central railroad drew
the line as to what free passes should be
given the Texas veterans. It extends this
courtesy to all who figured IN our wars be-
fore January l., 1887, but to none who did
service after that date. There was much
conflict, many dangers, trials and wounds
endured by the heroic souls OF those days
from January l, 1887, even down to lS45
Why should the little remnant of those
men be excluded from this courtesy? The
Missouri Pacific system munifcently takes
off one of the six cents a mile spent in
round trip travel; the Houston and Texas
Central grants passes to less than third
Of the veterans. Truly the railroads this
year have been courteous and generous in
the extreme to these old men.

rectly reported, to some such plan as now
proposed by the Alliance, so that it is
hoped this board is in condition to act
at once in the premises, and decide that
Austin shall have this additional trade.
Our cotton receipts have been gradually
and most perceptibly falling off; in this
way they can be regeined. The import

TO THE PRESS OF THE STATE.

We call upon you in the name of hu-
manity, in memory of the history OF the
south, her toll and the shedding
of her blood, in the name of the
men who CALAMITY rallied to her oause
when all she had worth living for they
thought at stake; in the name of gentle
and all pervasive charity, we call upon you
to lend US your assistance until noble
work has been accomplished. You are
acquainted with the history OF our Con
federate Home, how it struggled into ex-
istence and how through several years it
has trembled on the verge of dissolution,
only stayed by noble, voluntary contribu-
tions from one source and another. You
know that recently an agent was
sent north to solicit aims for
this Home, and while gratefully returning
thanks for what has been given, you know
how meager has been the return for the
work done and expectations INDUCED.
Don't you agree with us that Texas haslong
enough been on her knees asking charityr
Hasn't the day passed and forever when
we must call upon strangers to help sup
port our needy, whether they be the daily
wanderer or that gallant man who periled
and lost all in the cause of his state? Can
not Texans without any outside aid build
and maintain suitable Confederate Home
large enough to keep in comfort during
their declining days those who have suf-
fered for the south and for Texas?
We sincerely believe it and have
entered upon the work with our
whole soul. But we feel our
impotence without your assistance.
CANT we in this glorious cause count upon
it with assurance? We ask in the first
place, as we have done, that you yourself,
as an earnest of your zeal, make such con
tribution as you deem proper. Next, that
you keep that contribution standing at
the head of some column and add names
of subscribers as they come in, forward
ing also the list to us for publication.
There should be no soliciting committee
about this plan; but Texans, with spon-
taniety unwitnessed before, should rally to
the relief of this cause that cries out for
assistance in voice that must be heard
in every section of the state. This is a
noble, a generous, grand work. Won't
the entire press of the state, daily and
weekly, join hands in determined and
continued effort until it is accomplished?
1t will be wreath of victory the press can
long wear and with continued pride. Shall
we not do 1t?

REPRESENTATIVE A. d. MARTIN, of the
Twenty first legislature, has card
in this issue explanatory of the
coal oil inspection bill. 1t seems
there is conflict of authority as
to the revenue to be derived under this
law, Representative Martin claiming it
will furnish no such "fat Office" as by
some supposed. 1t remains to be seen
how expensive the machinery for putting
the law into effect will be. But if there is
any big thing in it we can see no better
disposition to be made of it than as sug-
gested, letting it drain into the treasury
of the University. 1t will be some years
before there is plethora in that quarter.

The Washington Evening Star has this
as recent editorial:
The advantages of Washington as an
educational center, furnishing rich and
tempting treasures to students and lnves-
tigators in all branches of knowledge,
constituted the principal theme of the af-
ter-dinner speakers at last Dight's Colum
bian University banquet. Representatives
of the various university departments
showed in succession the wealth of educa-
tional material collected at the capital,
and available for their respective uses,
and supplemented the statements of An,
drew d. Whites Forum article. Clearly
Washington is now fully equipped with
all the requisites of the republics educa-
tional center, and ia ready to become the
site of the great natioral university, which
has been talked of without practical re-
suits since the time of George Washing
ton. An endowment of several million
dollars seems to be the only essential to
the existence of the national university,
which is lacking. Wealthy philanthropists
will please take notice!
Austin can be such a center for Texas
as Washington is for the Union. Only we
have this advantage, we have our munifi-
Gently endowed University already in
operation. The citizens of Austin cannot
too highly appreciate the advantage of
their location-at the legal, executive,
judicial and educational center of the
state. It is theirs to create model city,
in every sense of the word worthy of the
honor and distinction it should have of
right as of title.
