AUsr1N,s SUBURBS AND HER CENSUS.

From one way OF looking at it, that
is as furnishing excellent capital for
the future when we can comment on
the marvellous growth of Austin be-
cause OF the dam and manufactures,
we would nyt object to the so-called
census of Austin. But as this word
has to go out to the world and may do
Austin an injury, an explanation is
due us other than the imperfect way
in which the census has been taken.
That is so notably imperfect that o
one will be surprised when it is de-
clared at least 1000 Austin names
have been omitted by the enumera-
tors. But this is only small part OF
the losswe have sustained from another
cause. Austin's corporate limits have
not been extended since the city was
established. By her corporate limits
Austin is supposed to be a city
of two and one-quarter miles square.
If q stranger or any one even biased
against us can 60 over our city, pace it
off and put it in less than four miles
square then he is such a manipulation
of distance as would stamp him
an annihilator of space. Austin has
not been in debt, she has not wanted
to speculate on her size and she has
not thought of taking in all her sub
urbs. There are in Robertson Hill,
not within corporate limits, in North
Austin, East, South and West Austin,
every house properly a part of the
city though beyond the shadowy
boundary line, at the least 5000 people
who have not been put in our census.
Add thereto the 1922 given us in the
census and the 1000 missed and you
have something less. than "a which
is Austin's real population.
Dallas claims to be the largest city
in Texas--if true how has she accom-
plished it-by taking in on every side
of the town fresh territory as soon as
new houses were built up. Under
such system Austin would now have
$4,000 people, and she is entitled to
give in that as her population. Eight
thousand people area great many to
have Topped OFF from a small city's
population, and that without cause,
and Austin should not be satisfied I'M
til Uncle Sam gives her every soul to
which she is entitled.

NULLIFY
OUR HIGHER COURTS
EACH OTHER,

The embarrassing policy of MAIN
tanning in one body polite two final
independent tribunals for the adjudi-
cation of civil matters has found its
most striking illustration in the rec mt
clashing of arms between our two APP
pellate courts. The question, whether
in Texas u common carrier issuing a
through DILL of lading for transporta-
ton over connecting lines, could pro.
tect itself by express contract from
liability for loss, damage, ETC., after
the goods were safely delivered
to the next carrier, excited dis
cussion and different views among
the bar until at the Tyler term, 1889,
our supreme court laid down in I'M
equivocal terms the rule that such
limitation was valid. This principle
has since been reaflirmed in other
cases before that court, and the bar
felt that doubtful question was for.
ever settled in a doubtful way in our
jurisprudence. On Wednesday last
the same point came before the court
of appeals and they, utterly ignoring
the solemn PRONUNCIATION of their sister
tribunal, announced the rule to be ex
actly the reverse. This leaves the
law-supposed to be the same
for all partles-in lament
able state indeed. A litigant
finding the doors of the supreme court
closed against him obtains ready re-
lief on the very same statement of
facts in the court of appeals. 1t is
only necessary to make claim within
the jurisdictional limit of pecuniary
amount in the county court, bring
suit there and appeal to the court of
appeals. On the other hand, in bring
ing suit for more than twenty dollars
in those counties where, like Travis,
the county court is Invested of
civil jurisdiction, shipper cannot
recover on the identical state of
facts, if the case goes up on appeal, as
the supreme court would not recog-
nize the alleged liability. Here is
consistency and harmony in the
temples of justice that is truly adj
ncirable. While one august tribunal
scouts the litigant's claim, another
acknowledges cheerfully its justnessl

ously suggest the propriety of making

SOME LIVELY MEASLES.

The Sad-Eyed Reporter Makes a Pleasant
Call and Sees Sheriff White.
"How are you, Sheriff White"
asked the sad-eyed reporter rs he en-
tered the sherif's bed room last after

"Just as well as fellow can be with

II should say. I'm SO weak l can't

II know remedy that will
cure" the sad-eyed reporter was
remarking when interrupted by the
measley sheriff.
"My friend, if you've got remedy
or a receipt for composition tea you
just write it out and leave it down
stairs. I've had enough remedies
suggested to cure all the measles in
the world and have gulped down COM
position tea enough to float navy.
Me and the measles are going 20 fight
it out now singly and alone, and if
you want to do me favor you just go
down town aud fill my doctor with
lead. BY the way, how are the boys
getting on over at the court house?"
asked the sheriff.
"First rate" mildly replied the sad
eyed reporter, "but Metz and Ander-
son look dismal and sad"
Anything the matter? Any hopes
of 'em having the measles?" cheerfully
asked The sheriff.
"No, not that. You see they wanted
to make an impression on the rural
ROSTERS, and felt the proper thing to
do was to wear patched pants, so the.
asked their better halls to patch 'em
pair. By some accident they man
aged to get hold of the best trousers
Ed and Ham had, and whacking out
the seats they sewed id others of a
different color, and there is much sor-
row and weeping. l wouldn't say any
thing about it had they not palmed
off on me lot of villainous cigars for

evening, Sheriff White. l hope you'll
soon be better and not look so much

and the sad eyed reporter slid out fol-
lowed by the sheriff's boot-jack.

A TIMELY SUBJECT.
THE HEATED TERN is UPON US AND
CLEANLINESS SHOULD BE
ENFORCED.
Reeking Foulness Breeds Hideous Diseases
and Gives Employment to Solemn
SOmbre Undertaken.

This is the season of the year when
sanitation should be and must be en-
forced, if we would escape horrible
disease, and remain healthy and Tor
ever blest.
Too often the patriotic authorities
of cities and towns permit reeklng
cutters, undrained and noisome vaults
and filthy alleys and back yards to go
unclean until epidemic and other dis
eases give employment to blessed
doctors, solemn undertakes and
sombre grave diggers.
Then it is that fat and sleek and
irrepressible aldermen and sanitary
officers, and lazy scavehgers wake up
and give sudden devotion to cleanli-
ness.
Cutters are flushed and washed out
vigorously, alleys and back yards, and
sinks and drains, and reeking deposit
tories of incomprehensible foulness,
are raked and scraped, and opened,
and contents carted off, smell To
heaven and startle and nauseate
whole neighborhoods.
When all this happens it does not
need a town crier to proclaim that
dread disease is stalking about, and
will make an early call upon house
holds.
Then it is that all this hustle, and
worry, and cleaning process attracts
attention to the matchless stupidity
of officers who should have cleaned
up and enforced sanitary regulation
before the advent of hideous and
deadly disease.
Sanitary measures should be rigidly
enforced before epidemics browse
around and swoop down upon villages
and towns and cities. Now is the
time for making the citizens of Austin
toe the mark and clean up their
yards. 1t is time for alleys and drains
from livery stables, and soda fountains,
and saloons, and sewers, and sinks, and
closets be purified and kept disinfected,
that they may not stink as July
oattle field, corrupting the atmosphere
and spreading contagion abroad in the
land.
Clean up your premises and keep
them clean.

A Trip to Old Mexico Frequently Made for
Une Dollar.

1t is surprising how little is known of our
sister republic by the citizens of the United
States, although it is easily reached by
water or rail. The large percentage of
Americans seem to satisfy themselves with
the thought that Mexico is only narrow
strip attached TO our country, and compare
it with the tail of kite, instead of know
ing that it contains twenty.seven
large states and 100000 600 people.
Those desiring to study a different race
of people, enjoy picturesque scenery. anti
guilty, enterely different customs and more
novel sights than ever dream ed of, should
visit Mexico. Many lucky investors in the
Loteria de la Beneicencia publica have
been enabled 10 take this delightful trip by
sending 81 or upward to Juan Piedad, Man
ager, Apartado. 43, Zacatecas, Mexico.

STATE printing contracts are things
of strange and weird beauty. A
weekly sheet of perhaps 400 circula-
ton has just successfully bid nine
cents line across three columns
nonpareil measurement, for the adver-
tisement of lands to be sold for taxes
by the State. This advertisement will
occupy about as many pages as the
usual edition Of that paper. AS it
will cost at least nine cents line to
set up the advertisement and stereo-
type it; that papers patriotism is
shown by doing all the press work for
nothing and throwing in the extra
white paper, gratis. Great is Texas
but she sadly needs some practical
lessons in the difficult art of printing.
In the mean time our sympathies are
with the deluded fortunate winner OF
this plum of State patronage.

one tribunal the exclusive final arbiter
of civil, and the other of criminal
matters?
BLAINE IMPEACHED?
matters?

The reputation of James G. Blaine
by the present leaders of the Republi-
can party is one OF the most migrate
full and at the same time most ludic-
rous things of the quarter century. In
its ludicrous light it is like the pupil
lecturing his teacher, the child scold-
ing his parent. The hat of his ances.
tor must indeed have settled far over
his eyes, completely binding him, ere
Harrison attempted to read Blaine a
lesson in craftsmanship. But in its
ungrateful aspect the case is still
worse. For twenty years and more
James G. Blaine, with the possible ex-
ception of Conkling, has been con-
sideled the all-around brainiest man
OF the Republican party. 1t was this
very distinctive individuality, this
strength of mental dominance, that
made him not only powerful, but
as consequent, a man to be
feared by his enemies and jealous
companions. But for Blaine's ability
the nation would not have in its
history the pages written by Ruther-
ford B. Hayes administration. The
genius of craftsmanship marked him
as a prominent target for the arrows
of jealousy and he has never attained
the height of his ambition, the seat to
which his quiescent consent lifted the
present incumbent. But now again is
illustrated the story of the warmed
serpent turning to sting. When Har-
rison, Bulldozing Reed, Mckinley ct
al, their ilk declare that Blaine
speaks not for the Republican party, is
it not time to pause and inquire who
is the Republican party? Is it Fora
ker, Dudley, Ingalls,, Reed, Harrison,
Quay, Wanamaker, Clarkson, Raum,
and Tanner-or is it Blaine, Cameron,
Edmunds, Evarts, Sherman, Allison,
Morrill,, Butterworth, Cannon, Spooner
and O'Neill?
Blaine is a man of broad grasp of
subjects, there is nothing small or of
contracted vision about him. He an
ticipates the drift OF the times and is
prepared to meet it. His present at
titude on our trade relations with the
South American countries is eminently
just and progressive. And yet Tor this
Harrison and Reed would stamp him
a renegade. And has it come to this,
that by such, standard men are to be
judged? In degree it is different, but
in kind it is of piece with little Will
lam turning out of Office the great
Bismarck, the founder and real ruler
of the great German empire. Might
may for time seem right, but we will
see how it will turn out between Will
lam and Bismarck land between Blaine
and Harrison, Quay ct al.
