Death Breeding Hog Pens.
To the Austin Statesman:

To the Austin Statesman:
Why is it that our city authorities
do not see that the sanitary regula-
tions of our city are enforced.
Hundreds of hogs are penned within
the city limits making the air heavy
with disease germs. An evening ride
on the Sholtz garden cars, winding as
they do along Waller creek valley,
might be delight, except for the
sundry foul smelling hog pens estab-
lished along the course of this limpid
little stream.
A little child now lies stricken with
typhoid fever in one of the highest
and most healthful sections Of Austin,
hogs are penned on the adjoining lot.
Immediately below the city limits
in the valley from whence the south
east breeze conveys the odor and
disease germs over the city an old
colored man has scores of hogs penned,
fed with swill from the city. These
pens are reeking beds of filth and
disease, death turks in the air and the
splendid drives in the valley are almost
deserted so foul is the atmosphere.
Certainly it is time these nuisances
we're Investigated and halt called to
such criminal negligence, for, while
our city is naturally one OF the
healthiest, we know that typhoid
fever has prevailed here more than it
should and even worse may come if
sanitary regulations are neglected.
We are no longer country village
but city of crowded houses and
many people.
Clear the city of hogs and the
streets of dogs. SANATIvE.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.

When we have damned the Colo-a-
do and possess one of the finest water
powers in the United States, with
which TO drive an unlimited amount
of machinery--which will be in year
and half or two years from now-we
shall want to inaugrate system OF
manufactures in Austin. To do so we
must have a chance to secure custom
ers out side the city, for instance in
the surrounding towns and villages
tributary to the trade OF Austin. Is
this practicable? Candor compels the
admission that it is not under the pres
ant status of railway transportion.
And why? Because, the way it is now
managed freight out Of Austin, fifty
or hundred miles, costs as much, ii
not more than for a thousand miles
from the north to that point.
Take ice for instance. Under the
present system a Chicago firm can, by
the cheap long haul, lay their ice down
in village fifty miles from Austin,
cheaper than the Austin manufactu-
rer can, supposing the cost of pro-
duction is the same. AS result, the
Austin firm would have to quit and
surrender to the Chicago house the
business which under an equitable
adjustment of local rates it would get.
Now this is being done every day
all over this State which has given
35,000,000 acres of her finest lands
to the railways to build up
not to cripple or destroy her
trade and commerce or to dis
eliminate against their benefactor in
favor of the great trade centers of the
north and east. Take Dallas for in
stance. She has begun to build man
ufactories, but finds herself handicap
ped at the outset by the cheap long
haul and the costly short haul, and
the fact that Chicago or st. Louis can
ship to Austin cheaper than she can,
Notwithstanding the difference in dis
lance. In fact, any man who studies
the problem will see that under the
present sy stem Of railway discrimina-
ton manufactures in Texas are out
OF the question.
But it is believed remedy will be
found. A railway commission is a
foregone conclusion. From present
indications public opinion is almost
unanimous for it, Under the next
administration railway freights will be
regulated 80 as to give manufactures
in our State living chance, besides
lift an incubus from its business inter
ests generally. Without doubt the
change will be as beneficial to the
thirty-fve railways of Texas as was
the law reducing passenger rates from
five to three cents. The roads cried

THE REIGN OF GAG LAW.

Even the most extreme Republi-
cans in the house have sense enough
to foresee the consequences of the
reign of the gag by which, as Mr..
Mills said in his speech Thursday, the
representatives of sixty millions of
people have been silenced on the floor
of the house. When Reed, the auto
crat, attempted the entry of an abso-
lutte falsehood in the journal-that the
senate amendment to the silver bill
had been referred to the coinage COM
mittee, which he had no power to do
enough Republicans sided with the
Democrats temporarily to dethrone
the dictator of the house.
This was all the more credit.
able to tho recalcitrant Republicans
as we'll as the Democrats when the
motives of Reed and his hackers are
considered. By showing the free coin
age amendments into the hands of the
coinage committee they would be put
beyond the reach of discussion in the
house. 1t was a bold piece of CHI
canery and fraud, which, without the
previous record of Reedism, ought to
stamp Republican rule in the present
house as the reign of the gag sitting
the voice of the minority which is
never done even in the most despotic
European monarchies. For this fresh
attempt on the right of the people
to be heard through their'representa-
tives, Mills and Springer, very cor
rectly minated to Boss Reed that
next November the people, who are
watching their actions, will hurl him
and his party from power.

Education in the South.

The constitutional convention in
Mississippi has been doing some very
excellent work in providing for better
public education in that state. When
the large number of negroes in that
state is taken into consideration, it will
be seen that the new measures have an
important bearing on the general ques-
ton of negro education. If the new
system effects decided results, it is GER
tain to have strong influence on the
other southern states. Mississippi has
been counted one of the most backward
states, almost wholly Indifferent to the
progress of civilization. 1t was here
that murder and intimidation held their
most complete sway during the days of
reconstruction, and even now stories of
blood come from that state more fire.
quently than from any other. 1t is
therefore matter of surprise, as well
as an occasion for encouragement, that
the state is now moving forward so
perceptibly in regard TO public school
education, The article adopted on this
subject provides for the maintenance
of public schools in every school dis
trict at least four months in each year.
1t sets aside, for the maintenance of
these schools, The poll tax of 50 per
capita on all the adult male population
and in addition sum of not less than
$500, 900 from the general fund in the
treasury. Itproviles that this common
school fund shall be divided among the
several school districts in proportion to
the number of children of school age in
each, and directs that il shall be sup.
plemented by such additional sums
raised by county taxation as shall suf-
flee to keep the schools open the re-
CURED time. Four months of school
each year will go far toward elementary
education. The growth of an interest
in the schools is most commendable.
The best-informed and most earnest
friends Of the negro base their hopes
for the future Of the race largely on ed
ucation. 1t is this feeling that gave the
Blair bill such support. But simple
elementary education, although impor-
tant as far as it goes, will not solve the
negro problem. Doubtless Mississippi
is attempting all it can handle at pres
ent, but if the state wishes to see its
negro citizens fairly on the road to self.
support, and personal freedom and hap,
piness, industrial education must be
provided for. The negro can not be i'm
proved morally until his ability to earn
good living is assured. When the de-
sire and capacity to save wealth have
been aroused, then there is hope il
abundance. The busy, industrious citi
zen is usually moral and steady The
negroes are not very likely to become
busy and industrious of their own &C
cord. To large extent, they must BIZ

to force industrial education on these

THE body of Robert Z. Lincoln's son,
Abraham, is to be placed beneath the
monument to his grandfather at SPRING
field, III. As it is probable that the
death of the young man marked the eX-
tinction of the martyr presidents de-
scendants bearing the family name, this
course is very proper. 1t is also pro-
posed by Minister Lincoln that the
bodies of the other members Of the
family, at their death, be placed beneath
the monument. The Lincoln monu-
ment association has approved this
plan.
CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW made a nota-
bic speech at the annual meeting of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
at Pittsburg on Thursday. He ex-
pressed it as his opinion that no labor
organization can permanently succeed
whose sole object is to increase wages
and reduce the number of hours Of
work. The fundamental ideas of the
brotherhood are charity, education, and
finally protection of its rights. These
objects are worthy and proper. No
one in this age will deny the right of
workingmen to organic for protection
But protection is quite different thing
from demands having the good of only
the labor factor in view. A labor or
ganizatlon that asks for more than
justice overreaches itself and hurts its
own cause. The brotherhood of En-
gineers has been distinguished for the
fairness of its demands, and its wonder
full success is all explained by that fact.
