THE MERCHANTS CONVENTION.

During the Spring Palace the Fort
Worth Gszstte was almost venOmous in
its censure of certain railroads that had
treated its city and exhibition most shame
fully in the matter of transportation to
visitors. And it was imagined by the
thoughtless that such resentment would
cling to that journal in its future treat
ment of railroads. But not so is it with
the press. No power in the land is SO long
suffering and kind. No agency does so
much for its county, city and state, and
none with such equanimity bears affront,
and for the good of its cause
endures, without multiplied complaint, all
wrongs. So it has been with the Gazette.
At the time of the railroad outrage in its
city it bristed all over with resentment
and struck back most telling blows. But
that is thing of the past, and another
subject is up for comment, and the Ga
zette says,
The discussion at Dallas should be with
a view to arrive at facts and the cause of
the evil of which the people complain.
Diatribes against soulless corporations
will neither be seemly in people who are
making every. endeavor to increase the
number of such corporations in the state,
nor productive of practical good.
This has to do with the merchants con
vention to meet next Monday and discuss
tie freight charges to aud in Texas. Is
not the advice given conservative, sound
and full of wise conclusion? Generalities,
nor fulsome condemnation of cumulative
abuse can avail anything. The mer-
chants approach most intricate question
and IFS importance demands it be handled
in cool and dispassionate manner if it Is
to be solved correctly. The Gazette has
spoken word of warning we would
second, and the merchants would do we'll
to act favorably upon.

THE DAM A NECESSITY.

A hundred thousand dollar dam across
the Colorado river above town would mead
millions of money to Austin. For con-
slider all the uses to which the power de-
rived from it coHId be converted. Manu-
factories, first of all, most naturally sug-
gest themselves as being the most neces-
sary and profitable additions to the city.
Bat if these ara not brought in, cannot
two or three thousand Ahorse power be
profitable farmed out right here in our
business streets, to enterprises now using
other motive power? Another
electric plant could be estab-
lished, and the ice and other
smaller manufacturing establishments
could be run by the power transferred
here from the dam by electricity. In
these secondary ways then could this dam
be used with profit, though its chief end
would be to attract northern capital here
by extending it cheap water power fer
manufacturing purposes. This dam is an
absolute essential to Austin's prosperity
and growth.

From Brentwood,

Special to the Statesman.
BRowNwooD, July 3.-County court con-
vened here this morning, and will sit for
three weeks, Hon. R. R. Conner, county
judge, presiding.
The people of Brownwood are rejoicing
over the action of the Pecan Valley Bap-
fist association at Liberty church on the
goth inst, in locating its college here.
This college is to be built of Brown coun-
ty material, and will cost forty thousand
dollars. The Pecan Valley Baptist associ-
alton is com posed of the Baptist churches
in the counties of Brown, Coleman, Con
cho, Mills, McCulloch and Runnels. This
association is one of the most wealthy
Baptist associations in Texas, and the
people of Brown county and her plucky
city, Brentwood, have great cause to re-
joice over the receipt of it's college.
1t has been raining most profusely here
for several days. The rainfall for the
month ending June 80, 1889, was 80
inches in Brentwood, Is shown by the
United States signal service register, kept
by Mr.. j. 7. MAYO at this place. Wheat
and oats have been somewhat damaged by
the protracted rainy weather in this por-
tion of the state.
The west bound mail has not reached
Brentwood since day before yesterday,
and it is reported here that the cause is a
washout on the main line of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway.

NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA.

One of the early political inciden is OF
the Nicaragua canal enterprise now being
pushed forward by American brains and
money ia the spat between Nicaragua and
her little neighbor on the south, Costa
RIGA. The dispatches this morning an
nounce the probable immediate invasion
of Nicaragua by the Costa Ricans. The
cause of dispute is the occupancy of the
river San Juan for sixty miles of its
length along the Costa Rican frontier, the
territory traversed being claimed
by Costa Rica. A heavy indemnity is de-
manded and it is possible the Costa Ricans
seeing their opportunity desire to bleed
American capital behind the Nicarsguan
government.
In the event of war between the two re-
publics, if left to themselves to settle the
dispute, it seems likely Costa RIGA might
carry its point. The territory of Nicara-
qua is to that of Costa RIGA as 10000
square miles are to 10000, while the pop
uIation of the latter is only
$4,000 ard that of the former
100000. The annual revenue of
Nicaragua is about $3,5OO,COO, and that of
Costa RIGA S2,5OO,OOO. But in spite of all
this Costa RIGA has a far superio
army, which stimulated by the powerful
inducement of plumber and aggrapdize-
ment, would probably soon make success,
full invasion of its northern neighbor.
The canal company, in the end, would
be forced to take hand, and the United
States might eventually become involed
in the quarrel.

The San Marcos Chautauqua.

Special to the Statesman.
SAN MARCOS, July 3.-Our farmers are
beginning to cry "enough" and are anx-
ious to see some dry weather.
Fortunately most. crops are clean, and
will not suffer materially from the rain.
Persons camped on, Chautauqua bill
congratulate themselves that they are
above the mud, and have suffered no in
convenience from the the protracted wet
spell. Most of the tents are occupied and
all will be full by the last of the week.
The exercises on the hill are growing in
interest, and the attendance, considering
the weather, is excellent, the gate receipts
being largely in EXCESS of all former
years.
Professor Dean, whose lecture on the
9th inst. is regarded as the very best
ever delivered here, will lecture again to-
morrow night and will surely have a large
audience.
Professor Tremaine's course of illustra-
ted lectures command large attendance
and are highly interesting and instructive.
Despite the most unfavorable condi-
tions the Chautsuqua management are in
good spirits and feel assured that the cur
rent ChaOtauqua session will be the most
successful in its history.
Mrs. Mollie E. Moore Davis will read
her poem written especially for the occa-
sion, at the IL q. m. exercises Tomorrow

singer inspired by a visit to the place of
her birth after an absence of many years.

We are not of those whose souls are
welded to celebrating the Fourth of July
by confusing the stars On our national
banner in pyroteohnicaI shower of words,
or the flash light of rhetoric. But we do
think the day in every sense of the word
should be national holiday, surcease
from labor and that business generally
should be suspended. Austin should have
suoh typical holiday to-day.

The communication this morning from
the Reverend Mack Henson, a pastor of
one of the colored churches of the city
is, we think, fair exposition of the judg-
ment of the better classes Of the negro
people all through our state and the south.
They keenly appreciate the barrier of So
cial inequality, and know it cannot be
crossed; so that what they want and have
a right to expect is that they be protected
in their homes, lives and property, and be
allowed to grow up good and useful citi.
zens. This is the judgment and hope Of

GEORGETOWN GLIMPsES.

Opening and Progress of the Chautauqua.

Special to the Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, July 3.-Lsst night, in a
few appropriate remarks, Rev. W. H. Shaw
president of the Cbautauqua assembly,
formally opened the session of 1889.
Prayer was offered by Rev. E. o. McIntire,
and the choir filled the spacious temple
with the music of praise and thanks
giving.
Mr.. Shaw gave brief summary of their
work in this enterprise, which was first in

WITH fuel costing five dollars and over q
ton southern cities like Austin cannot
possibly compete with eastern manufac-
tories which get their fuel for anywhere
from fifty cents to two dollars ton and
very frequently for nominally nothing. We
must have cheap power before we can
hope for manufactures. One hundred
thousand dollars is bagatelle to give for
such power,

The Express with other papers of the
state when the Underwriters association
was broken up, coHld not find terms ser,
we're enough to cepsure Attorney general
Hogg and depict the cslamities that
would befal the state from such action. II
seems the deadly trust law did not demol-
ish to the extent howled about and the
Express now turns about and rends Mr.
Hogg after this fashion:
"a certain firm in this city, with a
blessing upon the man who broke up
the insurance trust in this state, few
days ago sent out circular letter to the
different local insurance companies
asking for bids on their insurance. The
bids came in very promptly, and to the
surprise of the firm, were all exactly alike
This is point blank evidence of an at
tempt to nullify the effect the passage of
the antitrust law was intended to produce,
aud the encouragement should come
over here instanter and coll out the n. ilitia
to seize the San Antonio insurance agents
and hurl them into the deepest dungeon
beneath the castle moat"
1t is peculiar how certain results can be
accomplished in spite of every prediction
to the contrary. The Express but poorly
conceals its joy.

memb cred and spoken of in terms of af-
lection and regret.
Mr.. McIntire made brief outline of the
work to be done in his special department,
the Sunday School normal. Rev.
DIR. Gilbert, of Indianapolis, will be
present with his rich store of knowledge
and experience to assist in this important
work, and also to deliver two lectures.
Rev. w. W. Pinson, of San Antonio,
made very interesting talk, in which he
explained clearly that the organization
and teachings of the assembly were in no
wise sectsrian, but rather great brother
hood of all the churches together.
Mr.. Armstrong talked in his usual hap
Ply style, and seemed brimfull of conf
denoe in the success of the session.
Judge Hughs and Mr.. w. X. Makemson
spoke in behalf of the people of George
town, assuring the management of their
confidence and hearty cooperation.
Professor Mcintosh, director of the
musical department, made statement of
what is to be taught in that line this ses
sion. Lessons in instrumental music on
piano and organ will be given by Mrs.
Pinson, of San Antonio, assisted by Miss
Heidi, of this city. Sight singing and the
training of the chorus will be in charge
of Professor Mcintosh himself.

THE NEW CoNGREssMEN.

Yankton Press The Authority of the
democratic clerk of the house Of represen-
tatives to place the names of the congress
men for the new states on the house roll
has been questioned, more for political
effect than because there is any real
ground for doubt. The Washington
editor Of the st. Paul Pioneer Press dis
poses of the question in the following
paragrah:
It is feared in some quarters that the
confusion sought to be created in the
public mind by democratic newspapers as
TO the status of these new members may
cover a purpose to induce the democratic
clerk of the last house to leave their
names off the roll, as it is his duty to
make up the members-elect of the next.
This would be q shameful breach of duty
on his part, and there Is nothing in the
record or character of Clerk Clark to war
rant such a suspicion Of him. He Is simply
boupd by law to call the roll Of the new
house from a list OF names Of persons
having certificates from governor of states
ds members elect. After Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington have been proclaim
ed states by the president, in accordance
with law, he can no more leave. members
certified by their governors off his roll
than he can those from New York and
Virginia.
