GORDON IN INDIA.
WHY HE THREW UP HIS APPOINT
MEST UNDER LORD RIPoS.

General Gordon, II win be re-
membersd, had accepted the post OF
private secretary TO Lord RipOn, the
then newly-appointei governor
general Of lndia. The private sec
rotary, however, suddenly and
without warning, says the ContenI-
pOrGJy ReUfel1, flung up the ap-
pointment, TO the surprise Of every
body, and returned home. One
evening, in course Of conversation,
the topic of fashionable society was
touched upon, and Gordon made
reference 10 the reason that induced
him to give up office on the occa-
sion mentioned. The true and only
reason he had, he said, for leaving
India Was that he could not put up
with the ways and customs Of the
high social circle in which he was
expected 10 move. 'sDress for din

A Relic.

A Georgia editor has an old con-
federate shoe, manufactured for the
government in 1864, just before the
war ended. The sole is fully three
cunrters of an inch thick, and is
made of poplar wood, evidently
shaped with a Ratchet or drawing
knife. The upper is attached to the
sole with a strip Of rswhije, run
ming entirely around the shoe, the
leather being held to the sole with
large carpet lacks. The upper is of
rough cowhjde, dressed only on the

THE AFRO MEXICAN COLONY.
Its Protector Gives Interesting Details of the
Gigantic Scheme.

Its Protector Gives Interesting Details of the
Gigantic Scheme.
From the Republic.
Hon. j. Milton Turner's gigantic
scheme of negro colonization is as
suming definite shape, and Mr.. Tur-
ner was yesterday in receipt of letter
from millionaire OF the Pacific coast.
with whom he has ,tely been in con-
ference in New York City, containing
important information. The gentle
man, whose name Mr.. Turner de-
clined at present to make known,
is, he states, member of one of the
oldest firms on the Pacific coast
and one which has branches in
Mexico, Spain and England. The
firm deals in coffee, sugar, ETC., and
Mr.. Turner says is quoted at $5O,OOO,-
600. The letter states that the titles
to the lands have been perfected and
completed and the Mexican parties are
ready at any moment to complete the
transfer. The Pacific coast firm
wishes to buy up 100000 acres of
land in Mexico, just where Mr.. Turner
does not know, and colonize it with
negroes, who will raise coffee on it. In
order to secure the population they
are willing to send the negro families
at the firms own expense from any
portion of the United States, free of
charge, to the land, besides assisting
them for number of years until they
could develop coffee plantations. Mr..
Turner, who acquired his knowledge of
coffee raising in Africa, stated that it
would take six or seven years to fully
develop the article on the plan tations,
and the company were willing to as
sist the negro until he could help
himself. They do not do it as char
ity, but expect by this means to found
great industry, and the negro will
thus by an easy graduation glide into
the ownership of the land.
The letter also asked Mr.. Turner to-
state time when he could be in New
York and meet representative Of the
firm, when further particulars would
be arranged. Mr.. Turner does not
expect the scheme to go into immedi-
ate operation, but will wait until the
fall when all the crops in the South
have been gathered, so as not
to disrupt labor. He believes that
the negro population in the South
is too dense, however, and that if it
were thinned out considerable it would
be better, not only for those who went,
but for those who remained. He
thinks that the negro of the South
has hold on agricultural and other
labor which he will never surrender,
and that with the daily encroachment
of labor on capital the negro would in
the end own the land. In this way
those who should stay at home in
preference to emigrating to Mexico
would also be benefited in the end.
AS it is, however, there are at least
| 100000 or 100000 negroes who
could be spared in the Southern States.
Mr.. Turner does not know positively
that he will secure the appointment
as agent of the firm, but if he should
he will Open bureaus of emigration in
all the principal cities of this country.

WHAT THE FARMERS WANT.

From their platform to which every
candidate must answer yes, or no, and
barring the sub-treasury warehouse
foolishness, the Alliance of South
Carolina appears to be very much the
real Democratic party of that State
as contradistinguished from the pa
trician faction represented by such
men as Gems. Earle and Bratton.
Following are the principles laid
down by the Tillman party and which
are about the same as advocated by
the Alliance in the Northwestern
States:
First-The abolition of National
banks and the substitution of legal
treasury notes in lieu of National
bank notes, issued in sufficient volume
to do the business of the country on a
cash system, regulating the amount
needed on q per capita basis as the
business interests of the country ex-
pand, and that all money issued by
the government shall be legal tender
in payment of all debts both public
and private.
Second-The enactment of such
laws as shall effectually prevent the
dealing in futures of agricultural and
mechanical products.
Third-Free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
Fourth-The enactment of laws
prohibiting the alien ownership OF
land.
Fifth-That all National revenues
shall be limited to the necessary ex-
penses OF the government econ
omically and honestly administered,
Sixth-That congress issue suffi-
cent amount of fractional paper cur.
rency to facilitate exchange through
the medium of the mails.
Seventh-That means Of communi-
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-08-07

cation and transportation shall be
operated by and owned by the people
as is the postal system.
Eighth-Do you approve and will
you give full support to enact the sub
treasury plan?
All will recognize the National
bank, treasury notes, free coinage OF
silver and revenue only tariff planks
as timber observable in our Nation
al Democratic platforms, and while
there are some things demanded by
the farmers-such as the warehouse
idea and Federal ownership OF rail-
ways and telegraph-that are imprac-
ticable-there are in many respects
as good Democratic doctrines in their
platform as can be found anywhere in
the history of Democratic conventions
since the days of Tilden.

She Wanted a Monopoly of Grief.


The colored people in small town in
Georgia had gathered at their church
to hold funeral services over the re-
mains of a woman who had died a
couple of days before, and the cere-
monies were about to begin, when the
bereaved husband, who was a large,
corpulent man, heckoned to one of the
men standing in the vestibule to follow
him t. the horse shed in the rear of the
church. When they arrived there the
bereaved turned on him with:
''See heah, Moses, l wants an under

LOTTERY schemes may be and doubt
less are very pernicious things that
should be suppressed; but when the
Federal government, in attempting to
suppress them, announces it has the
right to constitute itself the censor of
the press and dictate what shall and
what shall not be printed in the col
umns OF the newspapers of the coun-
try, then it is tine to ask, is not the
proposed remedy worse than the dis
ease?

Bismarck's PrOtege.

At one time during the Franco-Prus-
sian war the Germans were quartered
at Meaux, distant about twenty five
miles from Paris, and it was here that
Bismarck was then stationed Upon
entering his sleeping apartment late
one night he was amazed to find tiny
baby boy curled up on q pillow on the
bed. The little fellow was only a few
weeks old; pinned TO his garments was
a note saying: MY husband died at
Sedan. / have nothing to eat. De.
spair forces me to separate myself from
my child. He has been baptized in the
name of Vincent"
Bismarck scratched his head ruefullJ
and gazed at this doubtful prize in deep
perplexity. What should he do with
it2 We can fancy that he was sorely
troubled. Finally, however, he deter
mined to care for the child; according
ly he sent it by special messenger to
Germany and ordered it to be well
cared for at Berlin.
You did well, " said old Kaiser Will
helm. in time of war everything is
worth taking-even little child"
Vincent, the French founding, is
now nearly 20 years of age; he has
been educated finely and is in all re.
spects model young man. He looks
upon Bismarck as his father and when
the old statesman quilted Berlin he was
followed into voluntary exile by the
young Frenchman. Eugene Field in

AUsTIN's SOUTHEASTERN TERRITORY

There is to the southeast OF Austin
marvelously rich agricultural coun-
try OF which she some years ago had
control. There is also to the south
east of Austin a direct outlet to the
gulf by either of the two ports to be
established on the coast, the mouth OF
the Brazos and Arkansas Pass. There
is cutting us off from an enjoyment OF
this rich land to the southeast and
direct connection with deep water,
but q little gap of some twenty-five
miles of land unspanned by iron
rails. This being the condition
of affairs why should Austin hesitate
to avail herself of her opportunities,
bridge that gap and be ready to load
her merchandise on great ocean
steamers? The line of railroad we
must connect with is the Arkansas
Pass at Lockhart. This road now
being financially hampered and in the
hands OF receivers can not in the
nature Of things make any further ex-
tensions for some time, and even
years to come. But what is there to
prevent Austin grading and ironing
the twenty-five miles to Lockhart
when the Arausas Pass would operate
the line? 1t will be remembered
when this project was spoken
of some time ago, it was
asked of Austin to put up 100000 as
a bonus. This sum was required to
construct a bridge over the Colorado
just below town. This bri lge was at
that time insisted upon by the Aran-
sas Pass people, though they were as
sured they could get the use of the
International and Great Northern
bridge here. But will they now insist
upon that condition? If not, what
stands in the way of building the line
to Lockhart for very small sum Of
money? Locate your depot, if you
must, on the south side of the river,
or better still, secure the use of the
International and Great Northern
bridge, and the line can be built
complete, so far as right of way and
grading is concerned, for something
less than $4,000. Bonds would then
supply the ties and rails and Austin
would then have new and most to
be desired railroad outlet. Isn't this
matter worthy your most attentive
consideration-what splendid terri
tory we would tap, and what market
we would gain. Let us determine to
join hands and build the line. 1t can
easily be accomplished, let us at the
work at once.

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat says
"The Pennsylvania Republicans are
to make an active canvass after all.
This is well. Ordinarily the party is
reasonably certain OF rolling up a
plurality of $4,000 for its candidate
for governor, but this year $4,000 or
10000 is all that can safely be counted
on" And why so? Why such a
falling off? Can it be the people have
quite enough of the dictatlon of Sena-
tor Quay, the man of superbly elo-
quent silence? Such men can have
no better rebuke than at the hands of
the people who placed them in posi-
ton of honor and power. Patterson

How It Feels to Undergo an Operation.
A party of three gentlemen were
seated at table of a popular cafe the
other evening discussing the case of a
friend who had recently been through
terrible surgical operation, when one
of the party, who had had similar
operation performed on him some
years ago, observed: "a man who is
about to undergo a difficult surgical
operation experiences something of the
same feeling that man must expe
rience who is about to be executed.
know it was so in my case.
l had nerved myself, l thought, for
the terrible ordeal, and had the assur-
ances Of my family physician that the
odds that l would come through all
right were largely in my favor, and
yet, when entered the operating
room and saw the table, the large bags
used in administering the anesthetic
and, most frightful of all, the surgeon
and his assistants with their aprona
tied under their chins-I have faced
death in battle and don't think there
is drop of cur blood in me, but my
heart quailed at the sight and it took
all my fortitude to enable me to mount
the table. tried to be brave while
the assistants arranged me for the
anesthetic, but, do what would, the
feeling that was about to part with
my life could not be banished, and as
l said before | then experienced q
something akin to the pang of death"

AS A measure to meet the 5O,OOO,-
600 deficit that is certain to exist
next year in consequence of reckless
Republican legislation an income tax
is beginning to be advocated by both
the Democrats and Republicans in
congress. By all means let us have
it. Tax and tax heavily all incomes
above $4,000. Then the wealth of the
country will be made to bear the bur-
dens imposed by the Republican party
which monopoly is chiefly responsible
for placing in power. Under a pro-
tective tariff the rich are the favored
class. Let the millionaires now be
given dose of their own medicine.
