TIE FUGITIVE N. P.'S.
Mr.. DillOn's Account Of the
Escape.
They Will Remain in France
Eight Days.
Four Months Will Be Spent on the
American Tour.

Give Themselves Up-General
Foreign News.


PARIS, Oct. 16.-O'Brien and Dillon
arrived here this morning. In an inter
view today, Dillon said after the yacht
on which he and O'Brien escaped had
been out two days the supply of illumi-
mating oil ran out, in consequence of
which it was impossible 10 light light the the
yachts lights. This made it dangerous
sailing in such crowded waterway as the
channel, and several times they narrowly
escaped being run down by passing ves-
sells. O'Brien's sole object in refusing
to face his accusers to the end in Upper
ary, was to keep his engagement to
speak in aid of the Irish cause
in America. He was confident the mis-
sion to that country would meet
with success. The Nationalist party was
in perfect accord, and Ireland had i'm
plicit confidence in Parnell. The death
of Gladstone or the bankruptcy of the
National league were the sole hopes of
the Tories in their fight against parlia-
mentary agitation for Irish home rule.
Dillon and O'Brien will remain in
Paris eight days, when they will take
passage for New York.
Dillon said he and O'Brien will re-
main in America four months and then
return to England and surrender them
selves to the police. He laughingly
added that they have been prisoners so
often that few months more or less
doesn't frighten them.
Upon being asked what course he
thought the British government would
pursue with regard to himself and
O'Brien, he said: "The government will
be ashamed to ask for our extradition.
I believe we furnish the only instance
of English members of parliament be-
ing refugees in foreign country"

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 16.-Ata a meet
ing Of colored Republicans from various
sections of the state, resolutions were
adopted declaring that the delegates do
not consider it wise or prudent for the
Republicans to put candidates in the
field. After heated discussion, a reso-
luton was also adopted recommending
that the negroes, for the betterment Of
their condition, vote for Haskell, or the
anti-Tillman Democratic ticket. The
resolutions declare that the negroes do
not desire equality or political suprem-
acy, but as citizens of the United States,
demand impartial administration of the
government and just share in it.

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

While the subject is up and speak
ing in the interest of nearly 1000 I'M
fortunates now in the asylums at this
place and at Terrell, the principle is an
excellent one justified and established
by experience that the superin-
tendeuts of insane hospitals ought to
be men who have made a lifetime bus
mess and profession of that branch of
medicine. Such a man is DR.. Wallace
of the Terrell asylum, and the removal
of such an officer would work injury
to the institution and its inmates, and
in no wise be carrying out the objects
OF the people of Texas in establishing
and maintaining the asylums. DR..
Wallace has long experience in the
treatment of the insane. He
is of the proper temperament
for such position, and to change him
would be in the nature OF politics which
should have nothing to do with such
appointments. Daniels Medical
Journal for December, which repre-
sents the profession in Texas, takes a
similar view in reference. to changes
in the superintendency of asylums,
and asserts that Governor-elect Hogg
isn't the kind of man to sacrifice the
welfare of hundreds of unfortunate
men and women to spirit of spoils.
Neither do we believe General Hogg is
any such man.

TO ADVERTISE AUSTIN.
Sound Argument Made and Money Helped
the Talk.

the Talk.
Last night at the parlors of the
Driskill Hotel some fifty OF Austin s
business men upon the invitation OF
the Advertising committee met them
to discuss Austin's future. DR.. J. j.
Tobin, chairman of the executive
committee, called the meeting to
order and made q clear statement
of the condition of the affairs
of the committee, showing the
absolute necessity for the citizens
of Austin to double the present
advertising fund. Mr.. Clarence
Miller, secretary of the committee,
read the report of action and plans
the committee had adopted for their
work, which was most exhaustive and
businesslike. Next State Treasurer w.
B. Workman was then called upon and
made a ringing talk. He had been
all over Texas in the last six months,
and he knew Austin was considered a
dead town. 1t was our duty to wake
up and assert ourselves as our adyan.
tages dictated. Wemust send the news
OF our advantages out over all Texas
and the United States through the
newspapers. He believed in Austin,
and would do all in his power
for her. He had but little time
at his disposal, but he would double
or treble his subscription to the adj
vertising fund.
Mayor Mcdonald was called upon
and made humorous and good tai k
What he thought was the matter was
that we were not enough enthused
over ourselves. We did not praise
ourselves, but rather the reverse. We
must fall in love with each other and
get to boasting of our resources. He
was daily in receipt of inquiries about
Austin, and he complained of having
no printed matter to send out in
answer.
Mr.. P. G. Taylor made short talk
and then the meeting got
down to business, after a speech
by Mr.. Howard. There was a
great deal of enthusiasm and good
was accomplished. About $3.50 a
month for the next six months were
raised. Mr.. Lebold made a stirring
speech showing how advertising and
pluck had in eleven years time made
a great city of Kansas City. The
meeting then adjourned to next Mon
day night at the Board of Trade hall.
The work has only just commenced,
and Austin is determined to win.

DANIEL-DOWELL.

Quiet But Happy Wedding Last Night af
the Residence of Mr.. Geo. W. Littleheld.
Last evening at 7 10 o'clock in the
presence of an assemblage of intimate
friends and relatives Mr.. Irwin Daniel
and Miss Alice Dowell were united IN
marriage, the Rev. DR.. Smoot otficl-
ating. The ceremony took place at
the residence Of Mr.. Geo. w. Little
field on Whitis avenue, and though a.
quiet affair it was nevertheless happy
one.
The contracting parties are well and
highly known in the social circles OF
this city, and have large number OF
friends and acquaintance whose best
wishes attend them upon this occa-
sion.
Mr.. Daniel is clerk in the comp
troller's Office, and has been oc-
cupving high position OF
honor in that department for
some five or six years. By diligent at
tention to duties and most courteous
and obliging manner he has won the
esteem and respect of all his co'work-
ers and associates as we'll as the higher
officials of the governmental depart
ments.
Miss Dowell is the niece of Mrs..
Littletield and is young lady that is
we'll and popularity known in the social
circles of Austin as one of its most &C
complished accessories. Possessed of
those traits of character and manners.
that distinguish the southern lady she
has won numerous friends here and
elsewhere whose best wishes attend her
upon this eventful occasion. I'M
mediately upon the conclusion of the
ceremony the happy couple repaired
to the depot, taking the Central train.
for brief bridal tour to New Orleans.
They will return home in about
week.

DIVIDE WITH THE POOR.

Amid all the joys of Christmas
time there is lurking sadness most
pathetic. It's the sadness of the poor,
OF the mothers and fathers OF the mon
eyless class who can no. shower upon
the loved ones at their homes the
gifts, the tokens OF JOY they see glad
dening the little ones in the dwellings
OF the rich. How touching it is to see
the poor laboring man select the
cheapest toy while his eyes longingly
feast on a better gift for his child.
This is the bitter in the worlds
Christmas sweet. And while this re-
mains true what field of sympathetic
friendship have the rich for the poor |!
How they, by little thoughtful care,
can at little trouble and expense make
glad the humble homes of the land !
Charity is human, Christian duty I;
but how that duty can be turned in
10 an exquisite pleasure al christmas
times! If it is always "more blessed
to give than receive" how that inspir
ed utterance grows in significance and
beauty at this time when the whole
world is exchanging gifts and when
the gift from which no return is ex-
pected is the most precious offering!
Austin has her full share of the poor,
and on this, the eve OF worlds rejoic-
ing, could not the rich of our city with
solicitOus care think upon those whom
they can make glad with an exceeding
great Joy? All Austin must be happy
tomorrow.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.


This will probably be one of the is
sues before the incoming legislature,
and before its adoption the system
ought to be fully considered both as TO
its intrinsic merits and whether the
necessities of Texas demand it at this
time.
The object is fair, honest elections
nd the publication of the ballot from
the baneful influence of the bride
giver. Does political corruption the
barter and sale of votes as in the
Northern states in the last presiden-
tial election exist at all, or to such an
extent as to require change in our
manner of voting? Does disease in
reality exist which calls for a remedy
in this State? That is the question.
1t is one for the legislature to answer
one which we shall not attempt either
to affirm or deny.
But, as a general thing, outside OF
the larger towns, it is not believed
vote-buying has been practiced, or
even thought Of however much may
have been exerted the influence Of
employer over the employe as in other
states and countries. In the cities
there has been some suspicion of
harp practice by INSCRIPTIONS can
didates or their friends, but the
proof has seldom been adduced
and we cannot but believe in the
honesty of the Texas voter as we'll as
the honor OF the Texas candidate as
a general proposition. But if we are
to build up large manufacturing towns
in our state as seems likely these con-
ditions may change and different
necessities arise.
The six salient features of the US
tralian system are thus summed up
by Mr.. Allen, a recent writer in the
Arena
LIST. The printing Of the ballot at
the public expense.
I'd. The control of the printed bal
lots by public officials.
Sd. The filing of nominations with
the secretary of state.
4th. The right of nominations in
dependent OF party.
9th, The privacy Of the voter while
preparing his ballot.
9th. The secrecy OF the ballot.
1t will be observed that the
efficacy of the system in
preventing bribery is based
on the theory that the candidate will
not risk buying the voter when he can
never know how he voted On the
contrary, it has been contendei that
as there is honor among thieves, the
man who can be trusted to take
bride can be depended on to carry out
the contract. The system, however,
will break one practice, that of march.
ing up voters like flocks of sheep to the
polls to be voted by order Of the can

over wherever public elections are
held,
