WE dop't hear q great deal of Fire.
Alarm Foraker these days. The Ex-
Governor is not exactly in State politics
this year. He will be some other year.
1t will be remembered that Dan Ryan
was not in State politics a great deal
last year when Foraker was. There is
one thing about Foraker he has long
memory and sharp sword. The Re-
publican harmony is really painful
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1890-10-02

DAN RYAN, the Republican candidate
fof Secretary of State, is already talk
ing about the alleged extravaganza Of
the Democratic Legislature and yet IL
our memory serves US right it was Mr..
Ryan himself who went before the
Finance Committee and with long, sad
face begged for an increased allowance
for his department.

ITO the Tune of Grandfather's Clock.
Did you hear the lannon's roar and the peo-
pies mighty shout
When the news went flashing through the
land
Which proclaimed the glorious fact that
Austin was redeemed,
And the Colorado river would be dam'dP
No longer in the rear, but mid ringing song
and cheer,
We have nobly wheeled our city into line
And proudly stand md the cities OF the
earth,
Creating history sublime.
Bonds going like tornado, yes,
yes,yes, yes.
Well dam the Colorado, yes, yes,
yes, yes;
Then shout aud sing and let our
voices ring
For the Dam, Dam, Dam.
For many long day we've been looking
for the light,
Though the clouds hung heavy and drear,
Yet our hopes have never died, and the
darkness we've defied,
Knowing well that the sunshine was near;
We had traitors i'll our camp, whose object
was to damp
The ardor of brave hearts, strong and true ;
But right will win in every fight with sin,
We were bound to carry it through.
Bonds going like tornado, yes,
yes, yes, yes.
Well dam the Colorado, yes, yes,
yes, yes;
Then shout and sing and let our
voices ring
For the Dam, Dam. Dam.
Well kill the fatted calf, We'll have royal
feast;
Even letting the prodigal come in,
If he'll open up his purse, and his surplus
cash disburse,
Sharing in the victory we win.
1t is time that war should end, that mind
and action blend,
DESCENDANT notes be banished from our
song,
Then what could stay our prosperous, on
ward way,
United, determined and strong?
Bonds going like tornado, yes,
yes, yes, yes;
Well dam the Colorado, yes, yes,
yes, yes;
Then shout and sing and let our
voices ring
For the Dam, Dam, Dam.
Rome on her seven hills in the palmy days
OF yOre,
Had no prospect so bright as our own;
Austin with future grand is the envy of
the land,
A queen securely seated on her throne;
With the dam complete, intact, and the
beauteous lake fact,
Mills and factories will dot our river side,
And we'll march on to victory and wealth,
For Austin, our capital and pride.
Bonds going like tornado, yes,
yes, yes, yes.
Well dam the Colorado, yes, yes,
yes, yes;
Then shout and sing and let our
voices ring
For the Dam, Dam, Dam.

We MIST Celebrate,
o the Editor of the Statesman /:

To the Editor of the Statesman:
Will you not kindly, through your
columns, agitate the project of cele-
brating, in fitting manner and in u
style somewhat commensurate with
the importance of the occasion, the
day on which dirt shall be broken in
commencing work upon the dam ?
THE STATESMAN has been an import
ant factor in bringing the enterprise
to its present hopeful position, and it
is eminently proper that the paper
should lead in inducing our citizens to
organize for the purpose of evincing
their appreciation of the momentous
work by public demonstration on a
m agnifcent scale. The enterprise,
which cannot now fail of completion,
is fraught with such beneficent inter
ests to our people that the ushering
in of the event should be character.
lied by festivities OF uncommon splen-
dor.
Suggest mass meeting of our citi'
zens at some hall to devise ways and
means to celebrate the day above
mentioned in a style BETTING the
magnitude of the event.

- ali movements there must be a
leader, some one who with master
mind and magnetic power can compel
following and surely bring about
success.
In the dam matter such a leader
has been Mr.. Frank Hamilton. AS
chairman of the dam committee
last April and May and as chairman
of the committee on Finance OF the
Board of Public Works he has done
service for Austin for which she can
never repay him. He has been un-
firing in zeal and masteriul
in expedient. To him is due as to no
other man the sale of the dam bonds
OH. "Wednesday last. 1t is such broad
gagged men that build towns and

WHAT HAVE WE TO LOSE?

In few days the people of Texas
will decide whether they will employ
q commission to look after their in
terests In connection with the rail-
roads.
Exclusive of the justice of the policy
proposed another question is easily
settled. Do we run any risks in the
establishment of new appendage to
our state government? None what
ever, except the payment of limited
number of salaries, and what are few
thousand dollars annually expended
in comparison with the vast CONNER
cial interests involved?
BY q commission we have nothing
to 'ose-everything to gain. On one
side of the balance are the salaries
of the members of the commission
on the other millions of dollas to be
annually saved to the people by rea-
sonable adjustment of frieghts and
the destruction OF the present unjust
system of discrimination against
Texas commerce. Why then should
any citizen of Texas hesitate to vote
for the amendment?
AS to the moral side of the question
can any voter object on that score
None, because in erecting commits
sion we propose to see justice don'
ourselves, nor is il desired to injur,

We are not morally bound to ALLOW
ourselves to pay that which
is not due, nor is /

representing absolutely nothing-no
one cent of value.
No. In erecting a railroad com
mission the people of Texas take nj
risk and are only creating an agenc.
to take care of their interests with,
out working injury to any. Why
then, not vote for a commission? The
amendment will carry as surely a

THE communication from "Many
Citizens" this morning calls attention
to something Austin, by all manner
of means should do. We certainly
should celebrate, with all the vim in
us, the day when actual work on the
dam commences. And THE STATES
MAN would suggest, as the most APP
propriate thing, that it should be an
all-day affair and be up at the site OF
the dam. A basket picnic, a barbecue,
with music, speaking and fireworks
How many of us in town know just
where that dam will be-we want tc
be formally introduced to so good 8
friend. The day of beginning work
under the contract must be by Nov
LIST. The stores should close and al
Austin should be up at that crucia
point of our advantage on that day.

THE San Antonio Express is to the

business man in Austin should read
and profit by this admonition "The
Austin bonds have been sold at par
and the city OF the hills will boom.
No municipality in Texas is more glad
to see it than San Antonio. In ten
years time Austin should be town OF
10000 people, its trade should be en-
larged 1000 per cent, it should manu-
facture everything that Texas needs,
it should become second Sheffield,
Birmingham and Manchester. A
country capable of the
most diversified production OF
the world is around it. Cotton,
wool, iron, lead and a hundred other
mineral, animal and vegetable staples
can be had for the asking. At the
same time, The Express desires to re-
mind the inhabitants of the beautiful
little city that water power cannot
climb tree. The construction of the
dam alone will not build factories. 1t
will take active and harmonious effort,
pluck, patience, push and money.
Collecting the waters of the Colorado

be triumphal march of progress"
