mental aid was not required or proper.
Senator Farwell voted for that bill.
Again, according to the report upon
which congress is ID act, it will require
six years to make Galveston such a
port as is in every way necessary and
desirable, while according to present
estimates the port at the mouth of
the Brazos will be completed within
twelve months. This would give the
gentlemen who head the work five
years to settle their town and get
ready to compete with Galveston as a
port-certainly ample time. And
again, the gentlemen mentioned
are they who owned and
now have large interest
in the three million acres of land the
State traded for their granite capital.
These men need as many ports ON the
coast as the coast line can accommo-
date. Every port will add big per
cent to the value of those lands-and
they are working for money not glory.
1t would be no advantage to these
men to fight Galveston-and they will
not do it. In the meantime it is for
Texas to get just as many ports as
she possibly can. THE STATESMAN
hurrahs for the Galveston appropria-
ton, and also bids Messrs. Farwell,
Taylor, Evans and Lee, Godspeed in
planting deep water at the mouth OF
the Brazos.

ANSWERED AT LAST.

At length the Gazette has spoken,
but such lame and impotent answer
After partially quoting us it speaks as
follows:
The Fort Worth Gazette of Sunday
contained four columns of letters in
the Hall-Hogg controversy, but never
line editorially on the subject. The
Gazette of that day had twenty pages
and there certainly was room for such
comment'-Austin Statesman.
"The Gazette is busy paper these
days. 1t has heard nothing drop, for
the reason that "dull thuds" have no
terror for it. There is boom on, and
the Gazette is pre-occupied. Less
politics and more work at
Austin would help the state
capital. Dam the Colorado and
don't talk to us about politics. The
attorney general has done his duty as
he swore to do, and the courts of the
State will decide whether those who
have INSTRUCTED his work have legal
Justification. The Gazette works one
racket at time, and Fort Worth is
busy just now"
Why bless your soul THE STATESMAN
nor Austin either are lying awake at
nights to think about the Hall-Hogg
controversy. 1t was just EN- PEASANT
THE STATESMAN thought to suggest to
the Gazette the propriety of speaking
out in judgment upon the late battle
of billets. We saw no special impu.
dence in this, as before this the
Gazette has had abundance of time
to laod Mr.. Hogg and crown him
with laurel wreaths, nor has it been
so profoundly "preoccupied"-is that
another word for dazed? But about

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

Immediately after its defeat and the
election of Harrison bitter gloo m
overspread the party in every nook
and corner of the country. Some of
the leaders even were dismayed and
not few became weak kneed. Cooler
heads, among them Mr.. Cleveland
himself, looked beyond the shadows
of the present to the light of the era
already dawning when the people of
the United states, now being educated
in the truths, the principles of tariff
reform, should rise up and restore to
power the Democratic party which
has planted itself on that platform.
The elections last fall distinctly
showed that the ranks of the protec-
tionists were being broken all along
the line, in New England as we'll as
the West, as witness the Demo-
cratic gains in Massachusetts and the
election of Democratic governors in
Iowa and Montana, to say nothing of
the whole State government of Ohio
again being turned over to the Dem
ocrats.
Then, again, the administration of
President Harrison, the most mar
row and sectional of any since
reconstruction days has already dam
aged the interests of his party to an
extent that can hardly be repaired
before 1892. The corruption in the
pension department, of which the
throwing overheard of Tanner was a
result and an indication, stands
against the party which assumed the
responsibility for it to the people.
Harrison lacks the breadth of view
necessary to gain intead of losing
popularity. He has by an arbitrary
and unconciliatory policy driven off
much of the ablest following of his
party and aided in building up the
Democracy of the Southern States by
ignoring and in instances absolutely
affronting the Republican party and
its leaders in the South. From present
appearances Harrison and his admin
istration will go out with load of I'M
popularity which will put the country
in humor to vote the Democratic
ticket whether Cleveland heads it or
not. %

CHICAGO NEGRO CONVENTION.

CHICAGO NEGRO CONVENTION,
Like all other colored conventions
of late years the body now in session
at Chicago composed of two hundred
delegates assuming to represent the
race throughout the country is simply
political machine manipulated by
designing white men behind the
scenes. Like the Waco colored con-
yention which met in our own State
last year, the ostensible object is the
lettering Of the Negroes condition
which all OF us, heartily endorse.and APP
prove. But is not the latent, the real
purpose, the firing the Northern
"heart," reminding the embers of hate
now fast dying out, and storing up
campaign thunder to be turned loose
in the future? To accomplish their
purposes the negro politicians who
control these conventions do not con-
fine themselves to the truth, but, as
in the case of the Georgia negro,
Pledger, who presides over the Chi
cago convention, their denunciation
of the white people of the South who
give these same negroes their bread are
characterized by the most glazing
falsehoods, thoroughly understood
by the people of the South Int
which will gain credence at the
North. Pledger, in his address to the
convention, on taking the chair said
he hoped the time would come when
the loyal people OF the North would
find way to punish criminal sec
tional notification of the constitution
and the Christian people of the
country discover remedy to sup
press the disloyal element with whom
murder is pastime."
In no State than Pledger's own,
Georgia, is the utter groundlessness OF
such charges better known, and when
the negro undertakes to malign and
villify the people who have given him
employment and taxed themselves to
educate his children it is time to en-
quire whether the negro is not stand
ing in his own light and is not his own
worst enemy. If Pledger and colored
politicians of his class would let this
race question alone it would be n
thousand times better for the masses
il the colored people of the South,
who will always do well enough not
wllfully tempered with.

long inland lake above the dam. 1t

your preoccupation may keep you

its feelings so appealed to as in the fol

of all in queenly Austin, the home of

that two such men can be found? Is
it possible that here can be found two
such relics of ancient barbarism. For

for the young lady is boundless as the

A BIG emigration OF negroes from
North Carolina is setting in towards
Oklahoma, which they say was prom
ised them by Lincoln. 1t is asserted
there are now over twenty thousand
negres in Oklahoma. The North Car
DINA negroes say they mean to take
the Territory. This is a new phase o
the question. The negro, however
will find that when he runs up against
his loud-mouthed Northern friends il
trying to get Indian Territory land'
he will find he is left out in the
cold.

BUTLER ON CLEVELAND.

1t is rather late in the day foI the
redoubtable Ben to fling insults upon
the Democratic ex-president, as he
did in speech few days ago at Bos-
ton and in the course of q referenc e
to the mugwumps. We can all under
stand what is the matter with the dis
tinguished and now aged political
chameleon. Butler was q candidate
pretending to represent the working
classes before the convention which
nominated Cleveland in 1884. He has
had not a particle of use for him ever
since, but why the General deferred
making war upon the Democratic
leader until he had descended from
power, is question. Cleveland may
have been originally elected by mug
wumps and latterly they may have
had something to do with defeating
him in the pivotal states, but when
Gen. Butler, in his old age, stoops to
throw mud at them or hit the leader
of tariff reform over their shoulders, it
is scarcely less than disqualification.

To the student of old manuscripts there is nothing astonishing about the materials upon which they were writ ten. The great Mohammed, the founder of the Musselman religion, is said to have jotted down the brilliant passages of the Koran upon the shoulder-blades of sheep while he was a poor herder. The niad was first written in charac- ters of gold upon the great gut of a dragon, the scroll being over one hun dred feet in length. As far back as the time of Job authors wrote upon sheets of lead. The great writers of the North wrote all their books upon beech. wood or "bog," from which our word ''book" is derived.
