Our Street Cars.

To Editor Statesman:
Austin has a most enterprising
and progressive board of aldermen and
they evidently have the interests of
the city solely in view.
In the matter of street railroads
they have given equal rights to all,
which is, no doubt, as it should be;
but in my opinion there are some
things that ought to be corrected.
No doubt it is essential that both
companies should have right-of-way
over the same streets in some parts
of the city-as, for instance,
Congress avenue and Pecan street.
but no street should be so taken up
with street car traffic as to impair its
usefulness for general traffic and driv-
ing, least of all the two above named,
the principal thoroughfares of the
place.
Why cannot the two companies, On
streets where they are both compelled
or desire to run, be required to use the
same track?
1t seems to me that with two tracks
on Congress avenue and on Pecan
street, one for cars going each way,
they might Use the same track with
out injury or inconvenience to either,
and thus prevent monopolizing the
whole street. OF course the COM
pany owning the track
would be entitled to COM
pensation for the use OF same, but
could not that be regulated so as to
be fair to all parties? If the companies
use cars of different guage, they
should be compelled to adopt stand
ard; and if that is not possible, a
third rail, even, would be OF less in
convenience than an extra track.
know nothing of the law regard
ing the subject, or whether it is within
thepower of ecity council to restrict
and compel these things, but I have
seen two, and even three and four
companies use the same track in other
cities and see no good reason why the
same thing could not be done here.
We have the most beautiful city
in Texas, and to have it's principal
business street and drive completely
taken up with street Car tracks will be
not only serious inconvenience, but
a positive Disagreement, and should
be prevented if possible. PIPER.

HURRAHING OVER MAINE.

Chairman Manly OF the State Re-
publican Executive committee of
Maine, in his dispatch to President
Harrison yesterday, was disposed to
shout and hurlah over the result in
his State. OF course the cutting
down of the Republican majority in
Vermont few days before must have
been remembered by Manly, and made
him hurrah all the lustier.
But to look over the figures all
this fuss over Maine by the Republi-
cans is discovered to amount to really
but little. The increase of Gear Reeds
majority by couple of thousand
votes is significant of no very great
change in public opinion in his district.
AS TO the reelection OF Dingley,
Boutelle and Milliken by "majorities
ranging from 5000 to 5000," in the
language of the dispatches this morn
ing, there must be an absolute reduc-
ton of their majorities since two years
ago, when Dingley was elected by q
majority Of 1892, Boutelle 4571, and
Milliken 6553. AS to the reelection of
Gov. Burleigh, about whom Manly
makes 30 much noise, it is fair to pre-
sumo it was due more to the influence
of local causes, while federal politics
was undoubtedly controlling in
fuence in the congressional campaign.
There is nothing in the Maine election
to cause Democratic dependency.

IT IS truly gratifying to find the
unanimity that exists among our
citizens upon the subject Of better
streets and sidewalks. There are
slight differences OF opinion about the
best plan of accomplishing the work,
but as to its desirability and necessity
there is no question of doubt or OBJ
lection. In fact, Austin is now in a
most beautifully receptive state. She
is not only willing to learn what may
be of practical good to her, but she is
eager to reach out and grasp a posi-
BILE promise or advantage. At this
stage in her history what an impor-
tant duty rests on the city council to
lead her in right paths, to direct her
feet upon a sure way to success.

TO ENCOURAGE MANUFACTURING

TO ENCOURAGE MANUFACTURING
The following circular letter has
been received and merits your care
fullest consideration:
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 6, 1S90.I
Editor Statesman:
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, muulci-
palities and people interested in develop
ing the manufacturing and mercantile in
terests of Texas, has been called to meet
in Fort Worth on September "a, for the
purpose of devising ways and means to
induce capital to seek our State and ac-
complish this object
The advantages TO accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantities in this State,
manufactured into merchantable commodi-
ties must be patent to every mind that has
given the subject careful consideration.
Manufacturers are disposed to come to our
State, capitalists are favorably disposed, but
there has been no united
action to place before them the facts about
our resources and the vast field open to
them and wholesale merchants. This con-
yention is called to meet the demand made
upon the State. 1t is proposed to have
Eastern and Northern manufacturers and
capitalists present at our deliberations.
Governor Ross has expressed willingness
to cooperate in the matter,
To this end you are cordially invited and
requested to send one or more delegates
from your organization municipality or
county to this convention. Efforts will be
made TO arrange with the railway COM
panies for reduced rates to delegates and
others who attend. AS the time is short
we respectfully urge immediate action and
that san1 tn the SECRETARY OF
the Fort Worth chamber of commerce the
names of those selected to represent you in
the convention. X. M. VAN ZANDT,
E, s. BIDEN, President.
Secretary
Could = more important subject to
us be preached at this time? Through
out all Texas the subject of manufac-
lures should awaken the keenest in
terest, as her wealth of all manner Of
raw products makes her the greatest
natural home of manufacturing estab-
ishments OF any state in the Union.
But to us at this time this subject
should come home with peculiar in
terest. We are about developing one
of the grandest water powers IN the
United States, and when developed
we want its power utilized by mills
and manufactures. Every line Of type
that tells the world what we
are planning and what
we shortly can furnish
in the way of cheap power is an inval.
liable advertisement. And every man
ufacturer with whom we get &C
quainted, becomes link in our chain
of success. Austin's Board of Trade
should be represented at that man
ufacturers convention by splendid
delegation.

The speech OF Mr.. Breckenridge in
relinquishing the seat in the house
which he never had any right to
occupy was remarkable chiefly for the
weakness of the reason he gave for not
having resigned to escape the disgrace

HONEST JOURNALISM.

The STATESMAN wishes 10 call at
tention to three editorial squibs found
in the same column in last Sundays
st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
There is some reason for doubt as to
the election of Hon. Webster Flana-
gan as governor of Texas, but none
whatever as to the fact that he will
have a good deal to say about the dis
tribution of Federal patronage in that
State for the next two years.

George w. Keene of South Boston,
deserve to live until he is ninety-nine
years old in order to complete his
regard OF mines. His father died in
1859, at the age Of sixty-nine, and was
buried on January 20. Mr.. Keene
himself was married May 80, enlisted
in the civil war July 10, .1S63, was
mustered out June 80, 1865, and was
discharged July 8. His son was mar
ried October 80. On the 9th of
August he received an injury which
necessitated his removal to the city
hospital, but he WAS discharged on the
10Th. He is fifty-nine years old.

Hong Tie is the Edison of the
Chinese quarter in San Francisco.
He has initiated and duplicated in a
small way the telephone system OF the
city and had the Chinese quarter well
supplied with electrical appliances, in
GLIDING telephones md electric lights,
before the older companies found it
out. He derives all his electrical
power from storage batteries put up
by himself, the dangerous quality of
dynamos preventing their use in the
rookery in which he lives and works.

Breckenridge has been bounced at
last, and the country will accordingly
cease to be shamed by the presence Of
a man in the house whose only war
rant for being there was the bloody
logic of assassination.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-09-11

Put the three together and you can
see how much truth there is in the
last two. Federal patronage in Texas
for the next two years is all exhausted
quantity-and whatever of it is
found will be controlled by
Col. DeGress and Quincy as hereto
fore and Sir Webb will be left out in
the cold.
The illusions to Mr.. Breckenridge
are pusillanimous in the extreme. An
expulsion such as he received can
never be a dishonor-if, indeed, it is
not wholly misnomer to call it an
expulsion. 1t was an honor for him
to be found in disagreement with such
Republicans, and the "country's
shame" must come from their con-
duct, not his. But will not all fair
minded men be willing to let the cleo
ton this fall throw some light on
the question? Will the G. D. consent
to let that election prove where the
"shame" should be cast? 1t will not
dare so to consent.

MAYOR CALLAGHAN of San Antonio
is authority for the statement that the
elegant wooden block pavements they
are laying in San Antonio cost So a
square yard. This would make the
cost on Congress avenue about $4,000
square, or $1,000 less square than
Mr.. Wilke said he would lay granite
blocks. The difference in cost is slight
and the choice must be determined
upon questions of durability, noise and
wear and tear on vehicles and horses.
This is matter for the city councils
committee to look into.

THE st. Louis Republic has its eye
on Texas, and at its distance does not
hesitate to reach out to hit q man
even when he is down. 1t cruelty
says:
The Texas negro Republicans have
fully justified the Republics opinion
that they were competent to boss the
lily white element of the party. They
took the Republican State convention
away from the white usurpers, de-
throned the white boss and set up in
his stead boss Of their own choosing.
Then they adopted what is really the
decentest Republican platform adopted
this year, and after fixing a ticket to
suit themselves, adjourned, leaving
the lily whites to come in out OF the
brush and surrender at discretion.
They will have to do it, too. The
Texas negroes feel that they have
right to boss white Republicans, and
they propose to exercise it, mildly if
possible, but firmly at any rate.

IT is understood the county judge
has announced that he will not order
an election to fill the Office Of super
intendent of public instruction. He
must base such determination upon
the hypothesis that that Office is
abolished, for he would otherwise
hardly so signally fail to perform his
duty. But that this Office was not
legally abolished by the action OF the
county commissioners court any one
can be convinced of by merely lookir G
at the statutes. What does the county
Democratic executive committee think
of the nominees of the party being
run over in this rough shod fashion?
