british INSOLENCE.

The intermeddling of Consul Lyall
in Texas Jurisprudence in the Kelly
case is fair sample of British in
science, and there is no doubt it will
be properly rebuked by the English
government, which has been informed
OF it through Secretary Blaine. Kelly,
q British subject, was caught in the
act of committing burglary in a
Houston hotel, his victim having en-
gagged in fierce struggle with him in
the hall way after Kelly had made
his exit from the room. Kelly's iden-
tity was duly established He
was very properly sentenced
to q term at Huntsville
The man violated the laws Of Texas
and was justly sentenced. Consul
Lyall subsequently took the matter
up, and requested Governor Ross tc
pardon Kelly. The sentence was COM
muted, not as an act of justice, but
out OF courtesy to the British govern
ment which, through its agent, hac
asked it.
Had Lyall stopped here nobody
could have had anything to say
But he wrote letters denouncinl
the judges and courts o
Texas as unworthy ant
showing such marked disrespect TO
the executive of Texas that Governo
Ross was forced to refer the matter t,
Mr.. Blaine and through him to thu
Salisbury administration. Governo
Ross did right, and ,Lyall should b.
superseded as as a warning to British
officials that the state of Texas is no
like Dahomey or some similar prov
ince, where English officials can shov
their traditional insolence. We won
stand it. Give Mr.. Lyall his walkin,
papers.

THE OCALA RESOLUTION.

The resolutions of the Ocala con-
vention, representing as it does the
farmers industrial associations all
over the country, has produced con-
sternation among the Republican
leaders at Washington and elsewhere
he resolutions bitterly denounced
the force and fraud bill as revolution
airy and designed to be fatal to the
autonomy of states. Previously to
the Ocala incident Republican organs
had spoken of the farmers uprising
as a mighty movement which would
effect Democratic defeat and elect a
Republican president in Is 2. Since
the adoption of the resolutions, how
ever, the Republicans have been de-
nouncing the Ocala convention as a
Democratic concern and whose utter.
ances were to be measured by that
consideration. The resolutions
themselves have been sneered
at as of Democratic origin, whereas
they were introduced by Mr.. McPrath,
representative farmer of Kansas, and
voted for by representative agriculture
lists from the Northern as well as the
Southern states.
The secret of the matter is that the
Republicans have discovered that this
new and independent political force
which they hoped to use in 1892 is in
reality in sympathy with the Democ-
racy and, if the third party movement
is stamped out, as it will be, will unite
With the Democrats in carrying the
country for tariff reform in 1892.
That is why the Republicans have so
suddenly sound en- the Ocala gather
ing and its acts which have placed in
antogonism to the Republicans. The
resolution on the force bill was a
plain announcement of exactly where
the convention stood, which is not at
the side of Republicanism.

THE BOTTOM OF 1T ALL.

The address of the National excu-
tive silver committee to congress
which appeared in yesterdays dis
patches, and suggested by the present
unsettled financial condition OF the
country, gets down to the bottom OF
an evil that may be only in its in
cipiency unless some action be taken
by congress. The truth Is that not
withstanding the frantic efforts OF
President Harrison to prove that the
panicky condition OF business is due to
foreign influence, and as minated by
the committee, we are probably just
beginning to feel the effects OF the de-
lectable piece OF Republican leglsla-
ton the Window silver bill. The
chief purpose of the bill, even
as amended in the senate, was and Is
the de monetization OF silver. Al
though the pill was sugarcoated, and
many blinds adopted in the interest
of Wall street spectators to mask the
real purpose, it was in reality drawn
in the interest OF the monometalists,
Eastern monopoly, the holders OF state,
municipal and federal securities, at the
expense of the interests OF the great
masses of the people. 1t was intended
by increasing the value and purchas-
ing power of money, by contraction
to increase the value of debt by in.
creasing that of the currency In
which debt is to be paid. 1t
was constructed in the interest
of the creditor classes, and
intended in reality to rob the debtor
classes by enlarging the value OF their
obligations and adding to them a rate
of value not intended at the time of
the contract.
In other words, it is the prospect of
the same contraction that led to the
crash of 1873 that is now alarming the
country.
The remedy, as pointed out by the
silver committee, is the free, unlimited
coinage of silver, the money of the peo'
pie, bill for which has been within
the last few days introduced in con-
Qress

salts factory and furnishes supply of
water sufficient, it is believed, for the
present needs Of that institution.
Besides the great saving to the state
in the annual expense for the pur,
chase OF water, the fact has been
demonstrated that artesian wells can
be dug with success on the premises
of all the state institutions around
Austin. For the improvements men
toned, the board has used in addition
to the appropriation of $35,6OO for
fencing and improving the grounds n
part Of the appropriation made for
"water pipe and protecting the capitol
grounds" and for "water, fuel and

ON THE ROAD TO IMPERIALISM.

The force bill is an Infamous bundle
OF hypocrisy and sectional hate all
the way through. But hey ond this it
has deeper, more portentous signifi-
canoe for the people of this country
1t marks an epoch in our HISTORIAN
era that comes in all republics-when
the money power and monopoly in
the furtherance OF their schemes OF
self aggrandizement become afraid oil
the people. The next thing they de-
mand a government which they can
control with certainty and strong
enough, backed by force, 10
bid defiance to the people,
This is precisely the state OF things
in our own republic today. The al
legged suppression of the negro vote
in the South is a mere excuse. The
real object is to fill congress with men
the creatures and slaves of the Federal
power, not elected by the people, but
practically appointed by the party in
power, and TO do the bidding OF the
money power which has always con-
trolled the Republican party. The
force bill. if passed, will put the elect
ion machinery in the hands of Repub-
lican tricksters and the result will be
the defrauding of the Southern
states of their rightful representation.
The execution of such law would
reduce the South to the condition OF
Poland-the mere dependency of CEN
tralized power and practical despot-
ism. The whole course of the Repub.
lican party since the war has been
towards Capitalization, and this, one
of the boldest, most startling attempts
yet made in that direction, if success
full, Enthusiastically indicates the APP
proach of Imperialism, which has
swamped all the republics of antiquity.

AN ADDRESS

To the People OF Austin and Vicinity.
At mass meeting of the citizens
held on the 26th ult., the undersigned
were appointed committee charged
with the duty of advertising and max
ing known to the masses of the people
seeking homes, health pleasure and
investment of capital, the many ad.
vantages offered by our city and sur
rounding country, and if possible, put
such agencies at work as will insure a
participation on the part of every
class of this community in the bene-
fits of the greatest era of progress
and prosperity upon which Texas
has entered.
The causes leading our people to
this action are many, but so well
known they need not be enumerated
here.
Your committee, recognizing them
has responded to your call. On the
day after its appointment an organiza.
ton was begun, which is now COM
pleted.
We have entered upon the work
your work-the work of the people of
Austin and its vicinity-with earnest
ness and zeal, determined, if possible,
to carry out the trust you have re-
posed in US.
We are now ready for work. We
ask you to supply us with the means
wherewith we may accomplish this
work of yours.
We have organized ourselves and
CO laborsrs for Austin's welfare, for q
six months campaign. Many of our
public spirited citizens have re, ponded
molly with subscription to be paid
monthly during the next six months.
We ask you, each and every citizen,
to give us your aid by subscribing at
once what YOU are willing to pay dur
ing the next six months to this cause.
We promise that the work of the
committee will be economically adj
ministered and its business conduct
preserved of record 80 that you may
ave at any time an account of our
stewardship.
1t is impossible for us to map out or
formulate our work until We know
something of what our resources will
be.
The amount now at our disposal
would only suffice for a scope of work |
far beneath the dignity of such city
Our trust is that each citizen will take |
loyal pride in enrolling his name
with his ottering-no matter though it
be small, upon the roster of helpers in
this grand work.
Fellow citizens, Austin has done
and Is doing much in her municipal
capacity for herself. She needs now
work which cannot be so done, and |
calls to you through us. Let your
response be worthy of yourselves and
the cause.

For the above expenditure Two wells
have been dug, one 1850 feet and the
other 1860 feet deep, which furnish a
supply of water sufficient for all pres
ent requirements in and around the
building, and for irrigating the capitol
grounds.
The water is now being used, and
since the stream from the artesian
well has been connected with the
building the expense OF purchasing
water from the city water company
has ceased.
The amount paid to the city water
company last year for water for the
capitol building and boiler-house was
$40 O. On account of the expense of
the unimproved condition of the CAPT
toll grounds no water has been pur-
chased for irrigating. If the state
had to purchase water for use on the
grass, trees and shrubbery of the
grounds the amount of additional ex-
pense will be at least $1,000. These
two amounts, aggregating $2OSO,
would, in about two and half years,
pay the net cost of the artesian we'll.
The water from the well, an analysis
CT which has been made by the state
geologist, has mineral properties re-
garded by some of superior medicinal
value.
After the completion of the well in
the capitol grounds the machinery and
tools were turned over to the board of
managers of the lunatic asylum. The
