The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-06-26

IT HAS been the very general Gus
tom for years to call the house OF rep
resentatives the popular branch Of
congress-" This doubtless grew into
a custom because, as its members were
elected every two years (and not six
as with the senate) they were sup
nosed. coming up so fresh from the
people, to repreEent the views Of the
people more nearly than the senate
And on the other hand, the senator
feeling secure with his six years lease
of power, was considered notimpertin
ent when he put on airs, and thai
body has, without much odium, beer
generally known as the "House o
Lords" But change has come. The
lordly one, the tyrant, is seated in the
chair of the house, and that body nov
is never in touch with the people
But the senate has come to therescue
and the prayer of the country is tina
it will undo, or thwart, the evil thu
house is trying to perpetrate.

SIXTH WARD DEMoCRArs.

tration and Predict It's Overthrow.
The regular meeting of the Sixth Ward

Wall street, below West, had its usual It
tendance, with President GrifIith and Sec
rotary Hussey in their respective places. A
number Of addresses were made, and all
we're Of confident tons.
w. E. Wilson, the FIRST speaker, said that
. Democratic victory Was probable in the

conclusion that Democrats would manage
things better.
H. r Harris. who described himself Is
the city attorney Of Ballard, whose name
had been referred to in Seattle papers on
three occasions in anything but . compli-
mentsry way, told of his efforts for the
good of the people in his town, and ended
his denunciation of the party in power by
adjuring his hearers to s'say to the Repub-
lican hosts q MahOmet said to the waves,
Thus far shalt thou come. and no far
theri'"
President Grinith called Judge Hill to
the chair and said that without any refer
ence to reforms in Ballard. what was of the
greatest interest to Democrats of the Sixth
ward was to sec that all who voted their
ticket were registered. He was interrupted
by several members. who inquired with
some levity Of manner whether the speaker
had attended to that important duty in his
own case, and he assured his questioners
that he had secured his certificate.
The committee on registration reported
progress in their work. and . motion was
carried instructing the secretary to draw
an order on the treasurer for their pay.
A visitor spoke Of two workmen in the
Fifth ward who were not registered. and
he was promised . carriage to convey the
prospective Democrats to the clerks Office.
Enough new signatures we're added to
the roll TO swell the list of members to
thirty, several silver dollars fell into the
reasurer's box, and the club adjourned.

WATER BONDS SUIT.

Brief 60 BE- snbmittsd by the City to
tho Supreme Court.
City Attorney Shepard left last night for
Olympia, TO appear before the supreme
court on behalf of the city in the suit
brought by Yesler and others against the
city to enjoin the council from issuing the
water bonds voted for at the last election.
Defendants brief is mainly renewal of
the argument made in the friendly suit of
Metcalfe against the city few weeks ago.
with the addition that it answers the
allegations that the sale was invalid
because it was made at less than par; that
it makes the bonds payable either at
Seattle or New York, and because the date
necessitated signature by mayor whose
term had not then begun. Defendant
denies that they were sold at less than par !;
and further that the council has the right
to sell at less than par. Right is also
claimed to make them payable At any
place designated by the council; also that
the date of issue must be fixed although
the bonds may be sold at various times.
aud must for prudence sake be signed
by the mayor of the city. whoever he may
be, ct such time of sale.

The New England farmer OF today is
much given to the covered carriage and
horse that holds his head high. I sus-
pect that the reliable but somewhat de
iberate OK satisfied his ancestors. Imet
n farmer near Holyoke driving his
COW home from the pasture on a bicycle
that is, the man was on a bicycle and
the COW was ahead of him on foot,
though she looked as il she would appre-
ciate a bicycle, too, as he was speeding
her along on a rather lively trut. I stop
ped him and asked him if there was any
show for a farmer to make money in
that section, and while the patient COW
leaned against u tree and caught her
breath he replied that there was none
whatever.
His grandfather had made money on
the farm, he said, but he could not.
Then he called to the COW to "hump her
self, and went spinning down the road
with the long suffering beast making
desperate efforts TO keep from being run
over. 1t occurred to me that perhaps
his grandfather did not pick the stones
off the farm with a bicycle and a pair OF
tongs.-Cor. New York Tribune.

Mr.. John L. White, head master of
the Berkeley school, New York, is au-
thority for the statement that, in our
cities at least, almost every American
girl Of good parentage of the age of six
mother, with larger waist, better physi-
cal development and more staying
power" This gain he thinks largely
due to the present day love of open air
games and exercise. Indeed, 80 heartily
does he believe in the efficacy of physi-
cal training that he would put an exer-
else room in every school house, sure
that forty minutes daily drill and in
structien in hygienic laws would in the
following generation reduce the number
of the criminal population o~ne-half.-

The use of tobacco among women is
on the increase in France. and even in
London il is not unusual 10 see a lady
produce her silvero or enameled cigar case
in the drawing room. Cigarettes are
giving place to cigars in Paris, and some
fears are entertained of the smoking
habit among women becoming uncon-
trollable. The weli known writer Nine.
de Latour defends the us. of the weed
by her sex, aud insists that If it is good
for men it ia moi injurious to women,
while to brain workers it is a great help
and solace. She would not, however,
give women quite the same license as
men, and would restrict them to two CT
gars and a few cigarettes a day.-Paris
Letter.

A few days z / was standing by an
American gentleman when / expressed
a wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north. l
asked him whether he had a compass
attached to his watch. IAN watches, -
he replied, are compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure 12 on the watch. For in
stance, suppose that it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 TO the sun
and 2 on the watch is exactly south.
Suppose that it is 9 o'clock. Point the
hand indicating 8 to the sun and the
figure 10 on the watch is due south. My
American friend was quite surprised
that l did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly 1 was ignorant of a thing
that every n else knew, and happening
to meet Mr.. Stanley. 1 asked that emf
nent traveller whether he was aware of
this simple mode of discovering the
points of the compass. He said that he
had meyer heard of it. Ipresume, there
fore, that the world is in the same state
of ignorance. Amalf is proud of hsv-
ing been the home of the inventor of the
compass. 1 do not know what town
boasts Of my American friend asa citi-
zen.-London Truth.
