WHAT CONGRESS- HAS DONE FOB

IEAAS.
A Republican organ IN the East de-
clares with refreshing assurance that
there is no kick coming from Texas on
account of any supposed neglect of the
late session of congress to take care OF
her interest. Let us see about stheos
Congress did appropriate half 'miIfion
for deep water at Galveston, to be in
creased by future appropriations to six
millions. Some other smaller sums were
allowed for other purposes in the natpsl6
of internal improvements. But the
money appropriated for deep water on
the gulf was boon to the entire West
and not to Texas alone; and without The
active help of Western congressman the
money would not be given. There can
.he:. pc doubt about that. Texas alone
curing au appropriation of six millions
from the last session of congress as the
colonies were TO make u favorable I'M
preston on George the Third. or the
Democratic minority in the house to get
a FUR hearing from Reed IS mnjority. 1t
took the hardest sort of work and the
most skillful management on the part OF
Southern and Western congressman to
obtain what there should he no hesitation
about giving. So much for what Texas
got of good from congress-
Now let US see what OF harm she in
CURED from unfriendly legislation.
What about the harm to her sugar in
terest caused by abolishing the tariff on
raw sugar? True enough, there is a
bounty of one and three fourths cents a
pound, but of what good is that to the
sugar planter, when the law is so cum
nlngIy devised as to rob him of that and
give it to the refner? For months raw
sugar has been declining in price, and is
now at figure that demonstrates the
lasting injury of the Mckinley bill to the
sugar planters. The damage resulting
in this one instance is incalculable.
Again the duties on horses and mules

leo. There is a great deal of irritation
aud bad feeling existing In the state
among stockmen over that single item
that is certainly harmful.
Again, has not the lead ore tax BAN
ished every smelling industry of Texas
across the Rio Grande, aud put an end
to Que of the rapidly growing enterprises
of the state, as well Us injured our min
ing industries greatly? This tax, as all
the world knows, was laid TO purchase
the political support of the Republican
leaders of Colorado. 1t is Vicious and
disgraceful tax, founded on nothing but
q corrupt political bargain.
Thriving industries in Texas must u,
legally exterminated in order that cor
ruptive industries in a Republican state
may enjoy a monopoly. But of course
Texans should say nothing about that.
No kick Is coming from her to the ma
Jority party, which should be allowed "a
govern in its own way.
Then there is the cotton bagging tariff,
sustaining and supporting one of the
most shameless and rapacious trusts in
the country. But as this veracious

A SLAVES ROMANCE.
Reunited at Eighty with the Husband of
Hor Youth.

Reunited At Eighty with the Husband of
Hor Youth.
a colored woman, bent nearly double
with eighty years and heavy bundle,
was seen to board the Cincinnati Mail
line packet yesterday afternoon, says
the Louisville (Ky.) Post. Approach
ing the clerk Of the boat she slowly I'M
tied knot in the corner of her red ban
dana handkerchief and produced enough
cash to purchase q deck ticket for Gin
cinnati. The wrinl1led and feeble old
negress is the heroine Of O romance. In
ante-bellum days she was slave and
was owned by o planter near Asheville,
N. G. At an early age she was married
TO slave Of the same master. By him
she had several children. Over half q
century ago her husband was torn from
her and her children and was sold to
another planter. The woman continued
to work on tho North Carolina planta.
ton, and in short time was again mar
ried. Her whole family was then put
on the block and sold to q Virginia man.
When the emancipation proclamation
was promulgated the family took nd.
vantage Of their freedom and journeyed
northward, finally taking up their homo
in Louisville. The husband died after
the close of tho war, and the children
one by ono left their mother to seeL
their fortunes elsewhere. Tho mother
toiled and labored to make o livelihood.
She heard nothing Of her first husband
until about o month ago, when one OF
her sons found that the old man was liv-
ing in Newport, KY. Tho old nogress
iourneyed thither and found the hus-
band OF her youth. lie had also been
married the second time and had several
children by the second wife. The latter
was dead, however. and the reunited
couple decided to again live together.
The woman returned to Louisville, dis
posed OF her effects, and yesterday after
noon completed the romance Of fifty
years by returning to her husband.

Of = StOptd-lO0klnG AlAn.
We had como down from . Virgins
watering place In the mountains to q
small railroad station on the banks Of
Cheat river, writes Detroit Free Press
correspondent. The tracks could be
seen for about half . mile either way,
and the roadbed ran within six feet Of
the bank. There was nothing TO see
but very plain building, q water tank
to the building and sound asleep We
sat down on rock on the opposite side
Of the track for smoke, and had been
quiet for two or three minutes when the
sleeping man suddenly sprang to his
feet with yell. We hadn't heard the
slightest noise to alarm him, neither
had any Of US given him start, but as
he sprang down tho track and looked up
and down We heard that queer noise
which the rails give out when o train is
approaching.
There was . switch there running
alongside the platform, but the rusty
rails showed it was seldom used. The
lever to throw it was q hundred feet
above US. At the lower end tie was
placed across the rails.
AS we looked up the track we saw two
runaway freight cars coming do n at q
wild pace. AS we looked down the
track we saw the day express coming
around a curve. We did not stir a foot,
but the man who had slept in the sun
ran to the bar and threw it over. Then
he ran to the end of the switch and
slowed the tie around diagonally. He
did not have time to move thirty feet
before the cars ran upon the switch
with an awful CHATTER, travelled its
length in two seconds, and as the wheel
struck the tie the cars toppled over to
the left and made one long jump into
the river, splashing water fifty feet high
as they struck. They were floating
away as the express pulled in.
"What's the matter3" asked the con-
ductor.
"Oh, nothing; just switched those
cars into the river" replied the man.
Never passenger on that train knew
what had happened. The mans quick
wit had saved t.lI awful calamity, yet ha
was the stupidest-looking man you ever
saw holding position.

County Official Paper
THE OLD AND THE NEW.

With this issue tho DAILY In
DEPENDENT closes volume xxx
aud tho year 1890. While the Winter
Of one year ago was tho most severe
over known in the history of the
State, entailing heavy losses to tho
stock interests thereof, the year just
passed has been q fairly prosperous
one, and the people Of the sagebrush
State have no reason to feel discour-
aged at the outlook.
With the opening Of the New Year
new resolutions are usually made and
new aspirations arc entertained; but
what OF the resolutions Of one year
agoP Have you been morally, social
~ and financially as successful as you
resolved that you would be? While
the past year has brought Joy and
gladness to some, to others it has
brought eorrow and disappointment.
To some it has brought comfort and
peace, to others, tears and distress;
nut without hope man would be Of all
creatures most miserable, and to this
trait of the human character may be
attributed the most pleasurable SEN
sstions Of life. Hence, we look for
ward with confidence to the future
and cheerfully take up the burden Of
life with as much confidence as
though the present life was an eter-
nifty instead of a limited state Of exist
ence. tbs we'll; for there would be
very little satisfaction in living, were
our thoughts constantly directed to
tine disagrees5le fact that death, like
a thief in the night, is liable to give
us call at any time.
We desire to extend our sincere
thanks to the public for the generous
patronage bestowed on the INDIE
PENDENT during the four years in
which it has been under the present
management, and soliciting a con-
tinuance Of the same with the promise
on our part that We shall use our best
endeayors to give our readers as good
paper during the coming year as its
patronage will warrant and our abil-
ity by strict attention and close appli-
cation to business will permit, we
wish our patrons and friends health,
happiness and prosperity throughout
the year 1891.
