THE CURSE OF DRINK.

Communicated.
The appetite for strong drink in man
has spoiled the lives of more women,
ruined more hopes for them. brought
them to more sorrow, shame and hard.
ships than any other evil that lives
The country numbers tens-nay, hun.
dreds of thousands who are widows to.
day, and sit in hopeless need, because
their husbands have been slain by
strong drink. There are hundreds OF
thousands of homes scattered all over
the land, in which women live lives Of
torture, going through all the changes
of suffering that lie between the ex.
tremes of fear. and despair, because
those whom they love, love wine far
better than the women they have
sworn to loye. There are women by
thousands who dread to hear the step
that once thrilled them with pleasure,
because that step has learned to reel
under the influence of that seductive
poison.
There are women grOaning with
pain, while We write these words, for
wounds inflicted byhusbands madwith
drink. There can be no exaggeration
in any statement, In regard to this
matter, because no human imagina.
ton can create anything more than
the truth. The sorrow and horror of a
wife with drunken husband, or a
mother with a drunken son, are as
near the realization of hell as can be
reached in this world. The shame
the Indignation, the sorrow and the
sense of disgrace for herself and the
poverty, and not unfrequeutly the
beggary, the fear and the fact violence.
The lingering life. long struggle and
despair of countless women, with
drunken husbands, are enough to
max all women curse wine, and engage
unitedly to oppose it every where as
the worst enemy of their sex.

INSTRUCTION IN RoADMAKING.


Under this heading the Philadelphia
Record of last Friday had the following
editorial:
Vanderbilt University, in Tennessee,
has struck out for itself new path of
usefulness. 1t offers to instruct, free or
charge, one highway official from each
county in Tennessee in road engineering.
The course of instruction is to consist of
lectures and practical work ION the eco
nomical locationlof highways to conform
to conditions of topography and traffic;
principles of construction of new and of
reconstruction of old roads, and of main
tenance and repairs; methods of drain
age; simple highway structures, retain
ing walls, drains, culverts, simple bridges;
practice in field sketching, simple plat
ting and draughting, instrumental location
and computing estimates of COST study
of systems of highway administration
To those who have had the fortune to
travel over the terrible roads in Tennes-

see this university offer will be deemed an
inspiration of genius. The example OF
Vanderbilt university ought not to be lost
on other institutions of learning. Here Is
a chance for the University IF Pennsyl-
vania to extend its usefulness. II it can
not afford to give grstuitous instruction
10 Pennsylvania roadmasters, it can make
an offer of such service to the state upon
favorable terms. Oar country roads are
bad enough to warrant heavy outlay in
furnishing engineering talent to put them
and keep them in order"
Heaven knows, if. there are bad roads in
the world, they can be found in Texas,
especially after rain. What is thought
of this action on the part of Vanderbilt
university? Texas counties need not
only money with which to construct
good roads, but they must also have skill
ed men at the head of the work to map
it out and superintend it. BY its enemies,
which, fortunately for their own intelli-
gence and the good of the University, are
few, it mas been characterized as merely a
grinder out of attorneys. This new de-
parture would be a work along practi-
cal line that would appeal to every county
of the state and all her people. What do
the authorities of the University think of
its practicability and feasibility?

THE SAENGERFEST.

II there is anything in which the Ger
mans especially excel it is music. With
them it is not merely an art but a science
profound and so valuable that life's
pleasures are incomplete without it. Not
only are the Germans in Germany mu-
steal people but they impress their har-
monio ideas on the continents selected as
their adopted homes. For this they
should have due credit and praise. For
does not music not only soothe the saw
age breast, but raise the human intellect
above life's sober realities, ennobling our
motives, refining the feelings, the mind
and hearth without music civilization
itself would retrograde, and If there is any
class of citizens of Texas who, more than
any Others, have aided in diffusing its in
fuences it is the Germans. The Saenger-
fest now in progress in this city is but a
single instance of this, and it is also evil
denoe of the value and desirable charac-
ter of the German citizens OF Texas. In
the meantime, while the Saengerfest con-
tinues, 1t may be we'll to remind Texans
generally, and citizens of Austin particu-
lsrly, that, to quote Shakespeare:
"He who hath not music In his soul,
Ner Is pleased with concord OF sweet sounds,
Is ht for treason, stratagems and spoils."

SITUATION IN OKLAHOMA.

Dispatches from Guthrie last night
paint the situation among the boomers
as anything but pleasant or profitable.
The boomers are encountering hundreds
of obstacles peculiar to pioneers life,
which, in their enthusiasm to go in and
possess the promised land, they had not
foreseen. There are 5000 people at
Guthrie, the proposed town, bat with
scarcely house erected as yet. They are
perishing with thirst. The railroad is
unable to furnish their parched and gull
BILE palates with Adams ale. The water
in Cottonwood creek is not only muddy
but alkaline. An epidemic of disease ID
probable.
In the meantime, it turns out that the
portion of the promised land-the region
around Guthrie, and how much more
of Oklahoma it is hard to
SAYS so poor and sterile
as not to be able to sprout COW peas, fit
for nothing but buffalo grass. A sand
hill pine farm in Georgia is richer. If,
therefore, town is started at Guthrie,
where is it to get its support? There's
no doubt but in few days the bubble
will burst and pilgrims, starved and per
ished, be returning from the promised
land hurting anathemas and curse words
upon Oklahoma, one of the biggest hum
bugs ever gotten up by capitalists and
spectators. The boom must explode, as
did that of California year ago. When
it does thousands of BOOMERS will kick
themselves and strike out for Texas, the
real land of promise, flowing with milk
and honey.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-04-25

The Paris Daily News of last Friday
says: "The Atlenta Constitution sub
scription list for Confederate veterans
now amounts to $34,725 and will reach
$4,000 by Saturday night, all raised in
Georgia" If little Georgia can do this
what cannot Texas accomplish She
should contribute $4,000 in weeks
time for an elegant Confederate home.
What will she contribute? The ample
of Georgia only proves what state, when
self-reliant and thrown upon its own re-
sources, can accomplish. We should profit
by that example.

ANENT the Confederate home question
the San Antonio Times comments and
quotes as follows: "The Houston Post and
AUSTIN STATESMAN are calling on Major
Joe Stewart to stop begging money in the
east for ex-Confederates and "come
home" The following from the Mem
phis Avalanche is of the same tenor:
All movements in aid of ex- Oonfederates
should begin in the south and we do not
believe, if they were intelligently carried
on, that it would be necessary to extend
the field of operations to any other sec
ton. There is no southern state where a
fand ample for the care of all the old SOL
diers could not Ebe raised.
Endorse the work in hand and help it
along all you can. Let the press of Texas
for the next few weeks make it its special
object to collect the fund needed for this
Home. The press can do it and it will be
a feather in its cap.

saving the seven hundred souls on board
