ministration that stands knocking at the
door OF congress with the demand that
it be excluded from the mails. It will
be battle royal.

FRANCE is moving for q reform in its
divorce laws, which is commendable.
The existing laws, as in this country,
favor the rich or well do and offer no
relief to the poor who are unable to pay
for costly litigation. In Paris especially
social reformers have taken up the
cause of working women who have
no way of protecting the property they
may accumulate by their labor from
idle and worthless husbands. Under a
bill just prepared for submission to the
chamber of deputies, not only is this
protection afforded and the wife's in
come from her own labor carefully
guarded but magistrates have the power
conferred upon them to order judicial
separation whenever they are convinced
that the husbands misdeeds imperil the
household, and he may also be COM
PEELED to contribute certain part Of his
income to the support Of his family. No
costly legal machinery need be cot in
operation to secure the protection of the
law for the poor upon whom matrimo-
NAL ills usually bear with greater
severity than upon the rich.

Rather an odd Plight.

Anaconda Standard: The right course
for newspaper to pursue in the lottery
business is to refuse the flaming advertise
ments sent out by the lottery schemers.
Failure to be guided by this rule has put
out esteemed contemporary, the Helena
journal. in position which, to say the
least Of it, is just a little bit embarrassing.
great many readers noticed the incon-
gruity which brought President Harrison'a
vigorous anti-lottery message almost
alongside . flaming lottery advertisement
In the columns of the newspaper
run by President Harrison's son.
The incident u made the most
Of by the New York World, which points
out the fact that while President Harrison
vigorously denounces lotteries, his son zeal
ously solicits and publishes lottery adver-
tisements. It is one of those cases where
the two ends of the white house family do
not exactly jibe.
The Standard abandoned lottery adver-
Using several months ago. The law of this
state is against lotteries and, while newspa.
pers in Montana have more freedom in this
matter than in some other states. the best
way is to refuse the business. If that
course had been practiced by our Helena
contemporary, it would be more at ease
just nov. in its conscience if not in its cash
drawer.

Inter Mountain: In newspaper circles
over the range it is whispered that Mr.
Lemuel Eli Quigg, who edited the Helens
Journal during the campaign last year, hal
perfected arrangements for the purchase Of
a half interest in that paper, and will soor
arrive at the temporary capital to resume
editorial charge. Mr.. Quigg will receive .
warm welcome from his brethren of thu
press in this state regardless of politics
The democratic corporation kings may moi
be particularly glad to see him, as he had {
way Of telling the truth about them Of
which they did not approve, but his greet.
ing from all good citizens will be genuine
The Inter Mountain will be glad to vel.
come the Journal back into the republican
party.
The Helena Graphic, litarary and art
publication started month ago in Helena

Helena, and the woodcut of X. Biedler
which the Graphic published short time

career.

The Philadelphia Record says: III
will take ten years more, say the experts
at Washington, to compile all the data
gathered for the census Of thif
year. Among the petty and con.
temptible partisan jobs to which
this administration has lent itself the
census OF 1880 will be recorded in history
as about the most worthless Of the lot
and at the same time the most profta
BILE to it's participants" How about
that enumeration Of republican voters
made by the census men at the direc
ton Of the chairmen Of county commit
tees? Aren't we to have that in time
for the fall campaign?

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-11-27

THE San Antonio Express asks
"THE AUSTIN STATESMAN says that a
few miles added to the Austin and
Northwestern road will place its city
in connection with Llano, and that
the natural obstacles to the extension
are of the most trihing character.
This being so, why doesn't Austin go
ahead and build the road? The ore
fields are great things" Some months
ago an Austin Syndicate offered the
owners of the Austin and Northwest
ern railroad as much for the road az
it is understood they asked for it
Since that time there has between
them been correspondence without
end, but it seems the Austin anC
Northwestern people cannot make VI
their minds as to exactly what the.
do want, and 80 the matter is left I'M
settled. AS soon as those people de.
eide, why Austin's syndicate will Blu,
the road and at once continue it on t,
Llano. Austin knows how valuabl
that territory is, and she means to ge
in touch with it.

WE MUST GO AHEAD.

We have gone into the dam enter
prise. All recognize the fact that upon
that die are cast the fortunes of the
city OF Austin. 1t must be accom-
plished. Every obstacle in the way
must be showed aside, peaceably i
possible, forcibly if necessary. Some
persons may be put to inconvenience
fancied or real. This weighs nothing
absolutely nothing, with the vast in
terests, the very life of this city, in the
other end OF the scales. There never
was a work of public necessity yet I'M
dertaken without somebody crying out
against it. The present is a most i'm
portant moment in the history O
the city of Austin. If the council faltel
or are weak enough to be tarneG
about by considerations OF {
purely private nature, the OPP
portunity may be lost for achieving
what we all desire-the prosperity
wealth and future greatness of the
capital city of Texas. The time wher
a general displays his ability is in tn,
heat of the battle. So with the coun
Gil. Now is the time for it to display
little of the Andrew Jackson spirit
That road to the dam must be built
If heroic treatment is necessary, the
people of Austin will almost to mar
back the board of aldermen. Let u'
go ahead. The bull that gets on the
track in front of the engine must be
tossed aside or run over. This is nc
time for timidity.
