tee as that sapient body when called
on to select the best pair Of heavy
draft farm mares or geldings, gave the
blue ribbon to pair of light, long
legged Kentucky buggy mares, weigh
ing about 900 pounds, over Percherons
and Clydesdales weighing from 1900
to 1000 pounds. This award called
forth strond expressions of disapproval
from every one except the owner of
the winning team. Evidently the
judges had very hazy idea of what
constitutes heavy draft horse.
Another decision l witnessed Twas

heavy draft class a gremium was Of

I'm BEHALF OF THE EX-CONFEDER
ATES"


The Waco Day of late issue has
the following observations, every word
of which The STATESMAN will endorse ::
"The gathering of ex-Confederates at
Dallas yesterday will very naturally
direct attention afresh to the move
ment to provide generously and hon
orably for the decrepit and friendless
ex-Confederate soldiers in Texas.
And this brings to mind Governor
Ross recent suggestion that the fees
of the secretary of states Office be
converted into permanent fund for
the maintenance of the Confederate
Home at Austin. THE AUSTIN STATES.
MAN, which has investigated the mat
ter, gives assurance that the governors
suggestion will be brought before the
coming legislature in the shape of a
bill. 1t is assumed that constitutional
objections will not stand in the way of
such measure. The fees that are
collected in the Office of the secretary
of state are not assessed, says TIE
STATESMAN, as q means OF securing
revenue of the state, but simply to
make the department self sustaining.
1t is, therefore, it would seem, in
every way legal to divert the reve-
nues to the purpose indicated by Gov
ernor Ross and thus create a fund of
at least $4,000 year for the Home
and ex-Confederates of the South.
Every man who goes to the next ses-
sion of the legislature will go pledged
and instructed to do all he can in be-
half OF the ex-soldiers of the South,
and it would seem that with a practi-
cal, sensible suggestion like that of
Governor Ross as basis on which to
frame action the legislature ought not
to be perplexed as to ways and means
for carrying out the public will in this
matter. The people will approve very
generous action in this direction"

The Express makes the following
grossly ignorant or wilfully malicious
statement: "THE AUSTIN STATESMAN
calls upon its constituency to vote for
the commission amendment Two
months ago THE STATESMAN was a
strong anti-commission paper, but it
Topped" Two years ago and sooner
than any other daily in Texas THE
STATESMAN espoused the commission
cause, and has never had occasion to
change its opinion or purpose. This
paper, since the day it first took that
stand, has been a constant advocate
of the railroad commission. This the
Express must know if it knows any
thing that appears in the columns oil
its exchanges, for our position was a
matter OF general comment. Isit not
time for the Express to "ring off, and
speak it's honest convictions!

THE REPUBLICAN DEFEAT.

AS the smoke clears off the field the
full extent of tie Democratic victory
becomes more apparent. Democratic
gains have been the rule, and the Re-
publican party has been struck by a
ground-swell, which has thrown the
old hulk down on her beam ends.
We have captured Wisconsin elected
the governor and whole state ticket,
and gained four congressman in that
state alone. We have thus broken
the Republican line at an important
point.
We have captured the legislature OF
New Mexico, the Massachusetts house
and probably the governor OF the
Bay State. We have the legislature
of New York, have gained several
congressman in Pennsylvania and put
Democrat in the governors chair OF
that state.
We gain one congressman in the
first district of New Hampshire.
Montana is claimed by the Demo
Gratis, and they have probably cap
tured the governorship of Minnesota.
Kansas, Republican Kansas, was
struck by the cyclone and only one
Republican congressman left. The
Farmers Alliance and Democrats to-
gether did it. Goodbye, ingalls,!
Cannon, the foul mouthed blusterer,
is left at home in Illinois, while in
Ohio the most glorious and significant
achievement of this unparalleled
Waterloo is the defeat Of Mckinley,
the author of the infamous new tariff.
Ex-Governor Foster, one of the most
rabid Republicans and haters of the
South, is also shelved.
The cyclone swooped down in
Pennsylvania and not only landed Pat
tison in the governorship, but has
vastly crippled Republican rule in that
state.
What did itH The people. And
why? Because they saw the Republic
can abuse of power was becoming
dangerous to their liberties and it was
about time TO check the robbery OF
tariff taxation. The Republican party
will stagger under this blow to its final
fall in 1892, to which the great and
glorious victory of Tuesday is only
the prelude. Off his pretentious
pedestal down goes Reed, the Ameri-
can czar; smashed is Mckinley, the
idol of the protectionists. The people
rose in their might. They did it.

THE A. AND NJ. COLLEGE.

The Galveston News thus quotes
and comments: "The Bryan Eagle
says: The Agricultural and Me-
chanical college of this county has
received much at the hands of the state
but in return has done much toward
educating and training up in the arts
of agriculture and mechanics the
young men of Texas. The institution
is now taking on new impetus, new
life, as it were, spreading out and as
Stunning the important position in
tended from the first. The appoint
ment of Gov. L. S. Ross and his
acceptance Of the presidency OF the
institution have brought about the
elimination of the desired end. Its
success has long been working out
this end and we now find the institu-
ton assuming the shape OF modern,
progressive university, and nothing
should be allowed to check the pro-
gressive march till Texas has an insti-
tuition really and truly a peoples as
we'll as a states university."
The last remark is in line with a
suggestion submitted by the News
some weeks ago. The News had ref
erence, however, to university, not
in the old traditional sense OF the
word, but in the advanced sense OF a
polytechnic curriculum of specific and
practical instruction designed to re-
cruit the ranks of scientific and skilled
workers in the useful arts and produc-
tive and self-sustaining pursuits. 1t
is of vital importance that the friends
and administrators of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college should here
after avoid the mistake which
so long retarded the usefulness OF
the institution and the main OBJ
jects for which it was created. The
constitution and laws place it on the
same footing with other branches OF
the state university, as b school to
train young men in knowledge OF
agriculture, the mechanic arts and
military tactics. Its managers and
professors heretofore have thought too
much OF the sudies OF the dead Ian
guages and abstract science. The re-
mark of the Eagle that it has done
much toward educating young men in
the arts of agriculture and mechanics
is not verified to large and
conspicuous extent by results. A
catalogue of graduates who
have made farming and the
mechanic arts a profession since the
organization of the institution, more
than twenty years ago, and ofthe sub
stantial benefits which their knowl-
edge and example has conferred on
others, would be of interest to the
public. There has been too much
pedantry in the professors and too
little regard for technical and manual
training. AS the Eagle says much
may be hoped from the intelligence
and practical good sense OF Governor
Ross, but it will not do to expect too
much. The possibilities are great, but
only the future can disclose and de-
fine the quantity and quality of the
work that shall be accomplished"
The state has the Agricultural. and
Mechanical college in warm corner
of its heart, and wishes Governor Ross
all success in his management of the
institution.

Ohio Penitentiary Death Rate.

Following is comparison OF the
official figures of the mortality in the
Ohio penitentialy at Columbus, o.,
since 1885:
UNDER ALLoPATHIC TREATMENT.
1885, number of deaths. .....3O
1886, for seven months. .l8
UNDER HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT.
1886, for five months, deaths. .... g.
1887, for twelve months, deaths. .l8
1888, for twelve months, deaths .18
1889, for twelve months, deaths. ........ 20
In other words, in the space OF 49,
months there were 81 deaths under
Allopathic treatment, while for the
next Al months in the same place and
with an increased number of prisoners.
the deaths under Homeopathic treat
ment were only 60. Another though
minor consideration, is the expenses
OF the medical department, which was;
81 300 per year less under the
Homeopathic regime. Under Allo-
pathy, in 10 months, there were three
deaths per month. Under Homeo-
pathy, in Al months, and a larger
population, l 1874 deaths per month,
or, say in two months-a saving of
one-half in human life.-Exchange.

THE Lockhart Register thus send

THE Lockhart Register thus sends
us counsel:
CHE STATESMAN of Tuesday con-
tanned an editorial urging the people
of that place to build railroad to
Lockhart. A road from here to the
capital would pass through one of the
finest agricultural counties in the
state, and it would be big advantage
TO Austin. But we fear this would be
too big job for Austin to undertake,
as she thinks she will float on the
bosom of success on that dam she is
| to build. But there can be no harm
done in telling the people of that place
often of the many opportunities she
is missing"
Austin is thoroughly alive to the
Importance of that railroad, and it
will shortly be built. No job is "too
big" for us now. We have tackled
the largest undertaking in the state,
and the dam is only the commence
rnent of what we are going to do. We
have gotten used to the looks of big
things and nothing appals us. The
road to Lock hart is only matter OF a
few thousand dollars, and we will
shortly be flying over to that town fer
dinner and back again to supper.

After reviewing the evil course of the
present administration, Mr.. Lea con-
tinues:
"You have degraded it 1.-THE republican
partyl to the lowest level, till it no longer
deserves or enjoys the public confidence,
and it's interest, as we'll as that of the
nation, demands it's publication by de-
feat. You have earned for it the denun-
citation Of the Hebrew prophet: The
heads thereof judge for reward, and the
priests thereof teach for hire, and the
prophets thereof divine for money; yet
will they lean upon the Lord, and say, is
not the Lord among us? none evil can
come upon us. Therefore shall Zion for
your sake be ploughed as field, and
Jerusalem shall become heaps"
He tells the president he has less than
three years to undo what has been done,
and to apply to public duties the high
standard which he maintains in private
life. "You must remember, however,"
he says, shat you have on your soul
charge for which you must reckon to
posterity and to God" Is it not about
time that some sturdy champion of the
administration took the floor in congress
in it's defense?
