What causes the bulk of taxation

Just such man as should be en-

the county in all political parties
and will poll a great deal more than
his party vote.

Forward To Victory!

The Republican ranks are closing
M for the final assault. The pros
pect is fattering for splendid
victory. The Democratic lines,
never solid, are weakening every
where. Pattison is beaten to-day,
and the work of the Republican
State Committee will now be di-
rected towards making the defeat
as overwhelming as possible. 1t is
a question of majority only.
All through the State the Repub-
licans are stiffening up their columns.
The reports that come from the in
terror are all one way. The advance
of the Democrats has not only been
halted, but has been turned into a
retreat. The Republicans are not
only holding their own, but are
gaining. All that is necessary now
is courage: Let every Republican
make his vote count at the polls ON
the 4th of November and crush out
the slanderers in so decided a man.
ner that they can never again raise
their heads above the graves in
which an indignant and outraged
people will bury them. Forward to
victory!

THE FIGHT IN THE HOUSE.

The situation in congress seems
to be about this: The Republicans in
the house have very slim majority,
not enough to rely upon to accom-
plish their purposes if acting under
such rules as governed the last con-
gress. SO in secret caucus they have
determined they will have no rules
until such time as they choose or can
afford to adopt them, which means
until the seventeen contested election
cases have been settled or until after
all these places have been given to
Republicans and they have enough of
majority to insure their absolute con-
troll of the house. Such action is not
only wholly unprecedented, but it is
in fragrant violation of the spirit of the
Federal constitution. The people of
the several States of the Union sur
rendered to the Federal government
certain of their rights upon certain
conditions. Among these fundamen-
tai conditions was the right of the ma
jcrity to rule and the right of the
States to say who should represent
them in the house and the senate OF
congress. Now this arbitrary and I'M
usual action of the Republicans can
mean only one thing that the Repub-
licans do not rely upon the business OF
the claims of those members OF their
party who are disputing the right to
sit in the house with certain Demo
Gratis who have better credentials than
they. If these Republicans believed in
the business of the claims of their
champions why would they resort to
such extreme measures as the present?
Why would they refuse to adopt any
rules? Why would they not conduct
the investigation of the several claims
in accordance with the usual custom,
and then, if defeated, appeal to the
nation on the result? But why need
they fear defeat when they have a
clear majority in the house? Is not
this unheard of action by Speaker
Reed and his confreres point blank
acknowledgment OF the weakness, the
injustice of their cause? Has it not
disguised even many members OF their
own party? They may win for the
present, but what of the future?

THE sILvER-roNGUED ORATOR.

Under this sub head the following
most deserving tribute was recently
paid one of the best known and most
popular men in Texas, in a special
telegram in the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch:
Since the tide set in against Mr..
Hogg people have been casting about
for another available man, many be-
lieving Mr.. Throckmorton too old for
the place. DR.. r. NJ. Swearingen, OF
this city, is frequently mentioned as a
suitable man for governor. For years
he was State health officer, and as
such has state reputation. Asa yell
low fever expert he has a national
reputation. Heis highly educated
and polished gentleman, and is the
silver-tongued orator of the State. He
has scores of friends all over Texas,
and here no man has more friends
and admirers among all classes. He
has been frequently urged to run for
office, but has fatty refused, saying
he is no politician. This, however, is
giving him strength Just now, and 1t
is certain that gentlemen OF influence
and great potency in State conven-
tons are now planning to have him
nominated. They feel that man
with absolutely no political record
and who undoubtedly has compre-
hensive ideas on State matters, as DR..
Swearingen has, can do much to bring
the State out from the cloud which
now overshadows her land titles and
is causing uneasiness everywhere. He
is a great school man too. and people
feel that the interests Of education
would thrive under him, regardless OF
political influence. Both the land
and schools have been an inviting field
for the scheming politician and dema-
gogue for years, and to have the ques-
ton removed from the political arena
is a boon that good men all over Texas
have labored for for quarter of a
century. There is a growing senti-
ment that the school lands should be
put under the control OF the State
educational department with a board
of managers, and thereby remove them
from the legislative department
where for years they have been bone
of contention and where the tricks OF
demagogues laboring in the interest
of land grabbers have succeeded IN
squandering millions of acres.
The STATESMAN knows of no one it
would prefer to see in the governors
chair to DR.. r. M. Swearingen. Austin
and Texas are proud of such citizen
and he would honor the State in the
position of governor.

All IHCIUtHI'
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
When DR.. Allen, the medical mis-
sionary sent from this city to Corea
by the Presbyterian Board of Missions,
arrived at Kingkitao, the Corean capl'
tai, cholera was epidemic there. Inc
city was in a filthy condition and the
Coreans were dying off as people died
when the black plague swept over
Europe. The king was suffering from
the malady and the newly arrived
stranger was summoned to his bed
side where, under the strict sanitary
laws at once instituted, recovery
was effected. Immediately the
young doctor was clothed with plen-
airy power and in Kingkitao every
street and alley and dOOryard was or
dered cleaned up and the orders were
Immediately executed. Then special
directions were issued concerning the
diet of the inhabitants. On pain OF
instant death every dweller in King
kitao was forbidden to drink any wa
ter that had not been boiled and that
was not still hot. All food taken into
the mouth, it was ordered, must be
thoroughly cooked and taken, too, be-
lore it had grown cold. As a result
the epidemic ceased as if by miracle
at the behest of divine edict. After
the city was cleaned and the order
about boiling water and eating only
hot food went into effect there was
but one more death from cholera, and
that was of a young woman who had
left the capital and returned, and
who, during her absence, had violated
the orders.
As result of his warding off or
rather stamping out the plague, DIR.
Allen has become one OF the most
powerful men today in Corea. Already
the king of that semi-ciyilized COun-
try has solicited his services as his
representative in Washington. 1t is
only Il few months since DR.. Allen
was in America with letters of almost
unlirited credit from his royal en-
ployer.
Ihis modern incident that comes
home to the people of Cincinnati, be-
cause DR.. Allen is virtually Cincin-
natl man, having lived in this city
and having been educated here, is re-
lated for the purpose of making more
conspicuous the benefits to be derived
from cleanliness and the faithful OBJ
servance of certain we'll established
sanitary laws.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-02-06

complish this more speedily and as
suredly the country to the West and
Northwest OF us must be tapped with
a railroad. Already we have railroad
extending sixty miles into that coun-
try to the thriving town OF Burnet.
This line must be extended. Austin's
trade must cover Llano and Mason
counties and reach on up to the ele-
CANT Concho and Abilene country.
All that territory is naturally tribu-
tary to Austin and she should go out
and possess it. This would make a
direct-the very shortest-line to the
Gulf, and the deep water port to
be located there. Immediately
such port is finished the commerce
and traffic from all the Northwestern
country will through Denver find its
way to that port. Austin can be al
most on the air line road. 1t is the
part Of business acumen to anticipate
events and thus reap their greater re-
ward. And in the meantime, while
waiting for these more enlarged re-
suits, Austin could, in vastly increased
trade with those rich counties, be en-
joying the fruits of her enterprise and
business sagacity. The Austin and
Northwestern railroad has not, it is
true, shown much inclination to ex-
tend its line, but that should be no
reason why we and the people of those
counties to be so much benefited,
should hold back and fail to do thing
that is recognized and admitted as
being of so much and so
general value. Railroads are built for
the money that is in them. and while
it might not have paid to run
iron rails into thinly settled western
counties, that day is now past. Those
counties have reached that stage CT
development that justifies such rail
road building. The people there rec
ognize this as keenly as do we, and
with the proper effort made, such CO.
operation can be secured as will in
sure the needed railroad and that
quickly. THE STATESMAN invites ex-
pressions of opinion from our western
neighbors on the subject, and some
indication of what they are willing to
do in the premises.

banks an increase in the number OF
depositors, while the mill itself would
afford an additional demand for loans
A pound of cotton, instead OF BRING
ing into the community from to ~
cents, would bring from 10 to ~. But
some may say, all this is doubtless
true, but upon the building of cotton
mill where are the operatives to come
from? To such it is only necessary to
say that there is no lack OF operatives
to run all the cotton mills in the land,
and with the advantages OF a health
full location, good schools and cheap
living Austin would not want long Tor
operatives to fill any mill her citizens
might build. But enough now. AT
some future time if it is desirable
may talk again. This much, at least,
1 desired to say as to impressions
made upon me while looking over
your city,"

A suREwD GAME IN THE WEST.


The Mormons are likely to play an
important part in the contest OF 1892.
1t has recently developed, AMI the fact
is borne out by the features OF the
Stewart bill now before congress pro
posing the wholesale Acknowledgement
of the Mormons, taking his vote away
from every man in the least connected
with the Mormon church. 1t is
charged by Mr.. Morgan and other
prominent representatives OF Mormon
interests that the Republican scheme
is to admit Idaho, Utah and Arizona
with constitutions denying the ballot
to all Mormons because of their reli-
eious belief, and this while a Republi-
can senate and house are giving Miss
isssippi, South Carolina and Alabama
Republican forms of government.
There is considerable Mormon popu-
lation in Idaho and Arizona, and the
Acknowledgement of the Mormons
would throw the three proposed new
states indefinitely in Republican
hands, it being we'll known that the
followers of Joe Smith, with the eX-
periences of the Edmunds law, would
vote with the Democrats.
The Acknowledgement proposed
would effect over two hundred thou
sand voters and with three new sets OF
delegates in the electoral college GER
tain in addition to the Dakotas,
Washington and California, the party
now in the ascendant could feel
pretty safe Of securing another lease
of power in 1892.
The scheme is a shrewd one, how
ever variant from the bill OF rights,
but, in the language of Robert Burns,
"The best laid plans of mice and men
Gang aft a'glee."
1t is long time till 1892 and there
is no telling but the people OF the
United States may turn everything
topsy turvy about Washington City
before that date.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-02-06
HOW AUSTIN CAN GROW.

Movements of progressive nature
are as rule not revolutionary, but
slowly formative in character. Alum
gus growth is not of that healthy
type that lives long. The broad and
deep foundation is the one that is not
easily shaken. Austin has been con-
sistently building on the latter plan.
Her progress has been slow, sound
and sure; she has taken no meteoric
fights and has to fear no collapses in
values. She is situated in most ad-
vantageous part of the State for doing
a large wholesale trade. The differ
ence between through freights from
The North to Austin and the other
large cities in the State are inappre-
ciable, while her central location gives
her decided advantage when
local freight is to be considered.
With this favoring circumstance there
is every reason why Austin should
push her way to the very fore front of
Texas wholesale centers. But to &C
