The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-12-17

"Gloom in large thick chunks was
the feature of the week in the endow-
ment order camp. The event which
caused the most sorrow was the arrest
Of Secretary Luray G. Powers of the
Royal Ark on an Indictment warrant
charging him with violating the
statute in unlawfully using a por-
ton of the money received
from assessments. Then the Of
ficers and dupes of the Golden Lion,
after much roaring and believing, by
a vote of eighteen to seventeen de.
cided in favor of applying for u re-
ceiver. The Golden Lion is one of
the most rapacious Of the lot. Up to
October 1st only eight or ten assess
ments had been called. Then the
calls came in "blocks of 1ive," and
over two thousand members lapsed.
Still the assessments came. Only
thirteen have been paid, and thirty
three more are due before January
LIST. AS one of the dupes expresses it
the trouble was due 'tirst to excessive
assessments and then to excessive eX-
penditures To add to the general sor-
row, the once elegant headquarters of
the Peoples United Legion are closed
and S27 900, in collected assessments
missing, as is also, Clemson, the late
secretary. The members have asked
for the appointment of a receiver"
The ancient orders Of established
reputation pay no high salaries, and
are not run to make money for the of
ficers, but purely for the good Of the
members while the new orders seem
from the above testimony to be run
in the interest of the managers, with
the members in the background.
1t is one of the strangest of the
strange things why the American
people will allow themselves to be so
easily led astray; why they will per-
nit themselves to be deceived, when
It's so easy to be informed.

THE JULY FORUM.

Tho story of the fall Of Bismarck, with
greater detail than II has ever before been
published, at least for English readers, DIR.
Getfoken, imperial privy counsellor,
tells in the July number of The Forum.
The Iron Chancellor had, naturally per-
haps, assumed that his long and valuable
service and his great influence tamounting
in many matters of state to controD over
the old Emperor William and his retention
during his brief reign by Frederick would
insure his continued power under the young
William II. Not only this. but he had for
many years 80 conducted imperial affairs
and so disposed of men about him AZ to
make young Bismarck his successor, aim
ing to establish an hereditary chancellor
ship.
From this high pinnacle of achievement
and Of expectation his sudden and unex-
pected dismissal is one Of the most Ora
matte incidents in political history.
The central idea in the critical review Of
Bismarck's career, made by DR.. Geffcken
in this article is set forth in the following
extract:
"The true test of the highest order OF
craftsmanship is its degree of success in
forming a school. Such statesmen were
Perioles, Caesar, Charlemagne, Lord Chat
ham, Washington, Pitt, Stein, and in our
days, Cavour. When they died they left
successors able to continue their work, and
the reason is that they believed in institu-
ions rather than in men. \ With
Bismarck it was the reverse; he always ad-
hered to the Cesarian system - the one
man who undertakes to think for the
whole people,"
He represented the corruption as we'll as
the absolutist tendency of an order
of monarchy that is now everywhere dead
except in Russia.
On the other hand, the young emperor,
as described by Geffcken. in spite of his
strongly military %utterances, recognizes the
fact that he is a constitutional monarch.
An outline of the portrait of him, drawn by
his privy councillor, is as follows:
civilian III. is undoubtedly the most re-
markable sovereign of the present time.
He is a modern man, Notwithstanding GER
tain proclivities which still adhere to him,
like pieces Of the shell Of an egg from
which the bird has issued. With restless
activity he seizes upon all questions which
agitate our time, be they large or small.
To-day he speaks on great European affairs,
opens new issues to German commerce, n
proclaims social reform; tomorrow he
opens an art exhibition and takes a personal
part in the performance Of Wildenbruche's
patriotic drama, The New Lord. He pre-
sides over his council and shows himself
a ready debater, opens a scholastic confer
enoe, laying down his educational plans,
and indefatigably travels all over his
try in order to see everything with his own
eyes. Much in all this may be attributed
to his active temper. but the moving pr!n-
ciple is undoubtedly the high conception OF
his duty as the first servant of the state. =

conducted in person the negotiations

man was arbitrary, unreasonable, or

not a word in condemnation of the Nor,

it is understood that MI. Haggin con-
Quoted such negotiations, Nor is it
generally understood that the esteemed

believed by people on tho outside that
Mr.. Hagsin owns about that proportion.
Now it ia submitted to candid people
that Mr.. Haggin's word would be more
convincing than that of Il veracious
contemporary, the esteemed Inter
Mountain. Let the Mountain
call upon Mr.. Haggin to sustain its
course in denouncing Mr.. Cakes. Aye,
there's the rub. Will the Inter-Moun-

not do it. Mr.. Hagen has only words

FIFTEEN years in solitary confinement!
That seems to be a pretty severe penalty
to put on Bardsley, ex-city treasurer OF
Philadelphia. Especially SO as his CO.
partners in guilt are in fair way to 60
scott free and enjoy the fruits of their
ILL., gotten gains. Most of the money
held by Bardsley was lost in the Key
stone bank failure, in which concern
Wanamaker held stock, despite his oath
to the contrary. Two other high Off
cials in the republican administration
are implicated in that disastrous wreck

Lacey and Bank Examiner Drew. No
effort is under way to indict them, sc
far as the public is informed.

on farm products and necessaries in
farm supplies, and the regulation OF the
liquor traffic so that it may bear Its pro-
portion of the burdens Of civil govern

BISMARCK has denied the report that

able and imminent.

The Wife'K Obedience.

Whole denominations of Christians have
dropped the word "obey" from the mar
rage service. The great Roman Catholic
church never had it inserted, and even in
the Episcopal church it is occasionally
omitted-I have personally known several
instances; or when retained. it is con-
stantly explained by the parties concerned,
or even by clergymen, as thing TO be
taken with a mention. Two things have
contributed to this the constant increase
in the number of women who earn in
comes of their own and the vast progress
of the higher education. Either of
these experiences very soon expand the
wings of a strong feminine nature,
and "A return to the chrysalis is thence
forth impossible. 1t is out of the question
to give n woman equal education and equal
property rights and yet keep her in the
PROSTATE attitude she occupied when her
enrnings belonged to her husband, and
when tho law denied her the safeguard

Mystical Music.

1t is pretty generally known that in the
Pascagoula River, near Scranton, Miss,
strange sounds are frequently heard, as
of musical instrument played at dis
lance, under the water. Boating parties
are often startled at the distinctness of
this music. They liken it to the sounds
produced by the vibration of musical
glasses or of harpstrings. The sound
rises and falls as if waited by the wind,
and is locally known as ''the mysterious
music" The origin of the sound is gen.
orally ascribed to movement of sand at
the bottom of the river, although there is
no evidence offered that the sand does
move or any reason given why it should
move. The explanation, doubtless, rests
upon the fact that such phenomenon as
singing or barking sands is known to
exist in several parts of the world. 1t is
not likely that wet sand would produce
the sounds mentioned. 1t is more prob.
able that fishes make these noises, fo'
fish can sing, very nicely, too. 1t seems
rather funny to speak of singing fishes,
but many of them do certainly produce
vocal sounds. Croakers get their name
from the noise they make. Bluefish pro.
test Indignantly when they are pulled
out of the water, but these are not such
sounds as constitute the music of the
fishes. Il Mobile (Ala.) Register.

This offer to refund the

So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works mot on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some

A Young man who looks with favor upon

successive days at the same hour of the
day. At the last call he leaves his walk
ing stick, and if he is to win the desired
bride the cane is handed to him when he
calls again. But If he is not regarded
with favor, the cane is thrown into the
