"AUsTIN AND THE LEGISLATURE"

|
Mail" grows facetious and ambles
along in this gait:
"Austin is getting ready to wrestle
with the legislature. THE STATESMAN
declares the capital city has "cut the
apron string of state patronage, and
she walks erect in the proud enjoy
ment of the honeymoon that is sue.
ceeding her marriage with the valiant
spirit of progress. Conscious of her
dignity, she is no longer suppliant,
but can demard her rights. So that
this year she will appear before the
legislature and press her claims with
the dignity and persistence of wife
hood" And the list of bridal presents
she will insist upon is calcula-
ted to make the spouse tremble for
what she will do when the bloom OF
bridehood is rubbed from her cheek
and she comes to feel that she is pos
sibly the better half of the marital
combination. THE STATESMAN con-
tinues:
And What has she to demand? you
ask. First, the right to extend her
borders. Second, that the capital
grounds be- improved, be put in con-
dition to comport with the dignity Of
Texas, the granduer OF the building
they surround. Third, that those
grounds be enlarged by the condem-
nation of the two half blocks to the
north. Fourth, that the university
be better provided for. Fifth, that
the Confederate Home be endowed.
Sixth, that all the asylums be assisted.
Seventh, that respectable home be
built for the governor Of Texas.
think of it-and the honeymoon
but fairly commenced. Why, before
the wooden wedding period arrives,
this very forward bride will have ceased
to ask anything-she will simply rise
early and rifle the old mans pockets
as he SHORES and his breeches hang
over the foot of the bed. And if she
has not appropriated the whole gar
ment by the time the glassware period
arrives the old bread winner will be
fortunate.
"Austin has always been a risky,
forward maid, but it seems that she
might have made show Of vmodesty
at least until the orange blossoms had
withered and the bridal viel had been
folded"
The Mail in this overlooks one point
of material moment. There is between
Austin and her spouse that perfect
confidence and understanding, there
is no necessity for two purses. All the
property is in common and funds will
alone be spent for the general good
What Austin will ask the legislature
to do will be unquestionably for the
states good. There will be no division
OF interests between Austin, the cap
ital of Texas, and Austin destined to
be the most populous and prosperous
city in the state. Come down to the
wooden wedding and see how beauti-
fully everything will be going on.

AND now the festive office-seekel
comes on the stage, all Establishments
smirks and smiles, who
Bends the pregnant hinges of the knee
That thrift may follow fawning.
He courts the sweets of Office with
the same gusto the enamored swain
woos the ripe lips OF the blushing
maiden. He will take anything
grasps for all in sight. If he gets
nothing he will visit anathemas on
the whole state government.

HOW TO KILL A TOWN.

"Buy of peddlers as often and as
much as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory IN the downfall of man who
has done much to build up the town.
Make out your town very bad
place and stab it whenever you can.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the people.
If stranger comes to your town
tell him things are overdone and pre-
dict a general crash in the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
with you on the method of increasing
business.
If you are a merchant don't adver-
tise in your home paper but buy
rubber stamp and use it. 1t may save
you few dimes and make your let
ter heads and wrapping paper look as
though you were doing business in a
one-horse town.
When you have anything to say of
your town say it in such way that it
will leave the impression that you
have no faith in it,"
The above may be old but it is good
readingRevery day in theSyear. There
are town killers in Texas as we'll as
town builders.-Fort Worth Gazette.
A bill passed one house of the Okla
homa legislature making it criminal
libel to insinurate anything against a
mans character whether it is fact
or not. Every scoundrel in Oklahoma
will, of course breathe freer. The crimi.
nal element fear the newspapers more
than they do the courts, and generally
the first symptom of rascality is abus-
ing editors and newspapers. If this
libel law business keeps on the news.
papers might as we'll shut up shop
Austin Statesman.
Texas is in no position to throw
rocks at the Oklahoma legislature
She, too, possesses libel law behind
which villiany crouches secure from
the scorpion whips of the press-Hous'
ton Post.
But it is this very Ubiquitous libel
law that every newspaper in Texas
and every honest fairminded citizen
in the state should use their influence
in the coming Legislature to have
amended.

His Prompt Reply.

Dashaway-Suppose you should come
around to my house some day, walk up to
my room and find my lifeless corpse in bed
What would you do?

date search for that five dollars you owe
me,-Life.

BIG PRODUCE TRADE.

Better This Year Than For Many Years
Before.
Very few people appreciate the
magnitude of the produce and fruit
trade of Austin, and it is increasing
daily.
Yesterday one firm, Bertrain & Co.,
received four car loads of Colorado
Irish potatoes, and two car loads of
Bell apples, and this morning they are
expecting a big car load of bananas.
