HMLF, GERMANY, October l7.-Much
excitement was caused among the dele
gates 10 the Socialist Congress to-day by
the sudden death Of one of their number.
The congress was engaged in discussing
means to improve the position OF the
Socialist press, Herr Baumgarten, one
of the delegates from Hamburg taking
part in the debate. lie was in the
midst OF an argument, IN presenting
which be had become very excited, when
be was seen to stagger. Those close to
him rushed 10 his and, but before they
could reach him he fell to the floor dead.
The cause of death is not known, but it
was probably either heart-disease or
apoplexy.
SOCIALISM AND THE PRESS.
The congress adopted resolution
urgug Socialists above all things to sup
port the already-existing press in their
various localities. and to prevent the press
from being made an object of private
SPECULATION. The fret and chief duty OF
tie press, the resolution declares, Is to
euighten workingmen and inspire them
with confidence in themselves as class.
The press must not suffer through con,
sderation for private interests

"The king laugh maker Of the world
is the title by which an American show
man now in London advertises himself.
His latest exploit has created astonish-
ment, if not amusement, and shocked
the sensibilities of those staid and sober
Englishmen who believe that "consti-
tuted authority" should be treated with
all dignity and respect 1t seems that
the other day the laugh maker bought
the lord mayors coach belonging to Sir
Reginald Hanson, who was chief magis-
trate of London in 1856. 1t is a gor-
geous affair, with gold trimmings and
trappings of brilliant hue. The Yankee
purchaser logged out some employees in
the livery affected by his lordship's foot
men, and attended by them drove
through the city. His progress" Great
ed a great stir. The officials are indig-
nant at what they regard as liberty
taken with the chief Of the civic magis-
trates and chairman of that august body,

while the rest Of the town is highly
amused.

have been impaired by subsequent
legislation, and in one instance the
university of Wisconsin appears to
have made a narrow escape from
Abandonment by the state, on account
of an act, which though it did not
pass, was presented and strongly
urged by member of the general
assembly who had but recently been
one of the regents of the university,
to "repeal the charter of the univer-
sity, distribute its funds and give the
income to the UNCONVENTIONAL colleges
in the state"
Latterly, however, both Wisconsin
and Texas, and, indeed, all the states
referred to by Mr.. Blackmar, have,
under more enlightened policy, dealt
more fairly and even literally with
their state universities.
AS to the University of Texas, should
the legislature persist in refusing to
divorce it from state control by giving
the regents the entire management
of all of its revenues, it is sug-
gested that the sovereignty of this
great state be invoked through the
graciousness of its law making power,
the legislature, to take it more fully
to heart and make its endowment
more available by issuing for its ben
eft, say three or four, or even five
million dollars 5 per cent twenty to
fifty years bonds, and holding the uni
versity lands in trust for the in
terest and sinking fund and
eventual payment of the bonds
by means of the increased
value of the lands. Thus secured by
the pledge OF 100000 acres of land
leased, say at cents an acre, and pro-
ducing an annual revenue of $50, 1000,
no better securities could be offered
for investment; the state would not
have to pay one cent for the bonds, or
make further appropriations for the
University or any of its branches; the
institution will at once be provided
with available funds ample for the es-
Enlistment of all departments neces-
sary to make it "a first class Univer-
sity;" and in the meantime its lands
will have been reserved from sale till
their fourfold enhancement in value
will make them the source of large
available revenues and most msgnif-
cent fund for the University's per-
manent endowment. Thus, without
dollars outlay, the University may
at once be constituted the GROWING
glory of the states grand educational
system, and certainly since knowledge
is one of the greatest powers OF gov
eminent, the state could not pledge
its faith for nobler enterprise for its
own educational interests and political
welfare.

WORKING THE TARIFF RACKET.

How a Popular Austin Merchant Was Not
Scooped.
He was bland and child like and
with q smile wreathing his face he
entered Wayland & Criser's big gro
Gerry store.
Mr.. Wayland was in and to him he
was directed as he OF the smiles was a
commercial man desiring to sell bill
of goods.
1--WE have fine line OF French
goods, Mr.. Wayland," he said with an
innocent look and seductive grin.

dimes and other imported goods, the
finest brought to this country, and"
his voice fell to confidential whisper,
1--WE are selling them at old prices not
withstanding the new tariff bill has
woefully increased the duties" and
then the smile which wreathed his
face disappeared and he looked sad
and dismal and vehemently damned
the tariff bill.
Mr.. Wayland said nothing but let
the smoke from q fragrant 2 cent
cigar curl and circle oeilingward.
"You see," said the dismal man as
he suddenly regained his composure
and again wreathed his face in smiles,
"you see, Mr.. Wayland, we will not
take advantage of the tariff now and
advance prices on goods we had in
store before the new law went into
effect. We are generous and will sell
at old figures, but the next time you
buy prices will be up"
"Will they% sententiously remark
ed Mr.. Wayland, US he took his cigar
from his mouth.
"Bound to-" said the man of smiles
and pickles. "That tariff has played
the mischief"
"We'll see," said Mr.. Wayland, as
he fished out of his hip pocket tariff
bill. "We'll see. There is the new
tariff bill. sent for it just TO see how
it would affect my trade. Let's see,
your pickles and peas and sardines
and other imported goods are all on
the free list"
The smiles which had wreathed the
commercial mans face wreathed it no
more. He turned CHASTITY white,
sighed sigh, packed his traps, and
gloomily slid out, while Mr.. Wayland
lighted fresh cigar and beamed with
intense satisfaction upon George
Heaybower, who has been prone to be
detected ever since the commission

Grand Jury Adjourned.

The grand jury adjourned yesterday
after ten days of hard work. The
members were harmonious in all mat
tiers before them, the result being a
large lot of indictments against vio-
lators of the law, some of them, it is
believed, being in matters heretofore
passed over by grand juries. The jury
was composed mainly of farmers, and
il lie surmised that they acted on the
theory that the laws on the statute
book should be obeyed.

shown some goods.
Mr.. Wilson waited on him and
while showing the goods observed the
other Mexican snatch shawl from
the counter and secret it under his
coat.
He called the Mexican to him and
jerked tho shawl from under his coat.
He then went to the front door of
the store to call policeman, but
could see none on the street.
The Mexican followed him to the

OF the fact he bounced out on the
sidewalk, and made off as fast as his
legs could carry him.
