The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-10-08

So, 900 a year; within a year this bal
ance will be 81 100000, and the income
should be 100000 year. Now does
the available school fund need this
money? Ask the school teachers all
over Texas who do their arduous
work for so little pay and then hawk
the states paper around hunting some
money lender to supply them cash on it
for their everyday wants. Ask the
history of the State with its long rolls
of school deficiencies. 1t has been es-
timated that within not many years
this permanent fund will be $25, O00,-
600. Think of that vast sum without
any means of investment! Think of
s., $780, 900 income year being lost to
the available fund! We should not
blind our eyes to facts. Texas is in
evitably growing to this and should
now begin to formulate plans for the
correction of such state of affairs,
But the picture viewed in its en-
tirety is even worse than stated. For
while it is true that the opportunity
for investing this permanent fund is
rapidly under our constitutional in
hibition growing less, there is because
of the natural and rapid accumulation
of population in Texas a greater and
still greater demand for an increased
available school fund. So there is
great trouble at the end of both horns
of the dilemma. Our available
school fund is to be decreased
while the demands upon it are rapid
ly growing larger. How escape the
result? How and where shall we in
vest the permanent school fund? The
United States don't need it, Texas
does not want it, and our counties are
rapidly returning to the treasury
what money they have borrowed.
Shall this vast wealth be unprofitably
locked up in vaults because safe
means of investing it cannot be found?
Shall that much money be boarded
up behind bars and be kept out of cir
culatiOn while children are deprived
of schooling and their parents are
bowling over chad times?" Is it pos
sible no safe and profitable means Of
investment can be found, a way of
putting this money on the market
that will rebound to the interest of {
Texas, her schools and all her people?
The STATESMAN advocates no such
means, but points out the evil and
urges that such means be found. 8
What no! statesmen of Texas, your +
state needs your councils at this time. =
What of the night and what of tomor-
row?

Statesman.
INVESTMENT, NOT COST.

NV ED'-HENI NOL CCD1'
at is easy enough to talk abou
manufactures, but manufactures cos
money!"
An appeal for manufactures has
never been made in the south without
arousing this cry from people who are
either Indifferent on the subject, OF
who are openly in opposition to the
movement. That cry is the wet
blanket which is always ready to
dampen the ardor and cool the enthu-
siasm of the advocates of progression.
1t has been heard in Austin within
the past few days, and it would be
safe to say that all Texas has become
accustomed to it through long expert
ence. Not city in the state has be-
come the possessor of electric light
plants or waterworks, or sewerage
and paving without carrying the
full weight of the obstruc-
tiOnists. Not commodlous
school house has been built, or rail
road secured, or an enterprise of any
kind brought to a successful close, but
it has been done in spite of this oppo-
sition. Is it worth while to stand and
listen to it any longer?
Yes, it costs money to build cities;
The STATESMAN comedies that. In
very few instances are they built with
anything else, unless, indeed, they
are sometimes built with wind; in
which event they have a rare faculty
of collapsing some day, and burying
innumerable people. But one thing
is certain. If Austin ever becomes a
city, it will take money to build it.
Neither The STATESMAN nor any
other paper will devote brag and bus
ter to the construction of
any boom which will eventually
become q boomerang. If the city
grows at all, it must be square honest
growth; and to that end THE STATES
MAN is directing the attention of
Austin toward manufactures.
True, manufactures do cost money. |
But does it cost anything tOimpOrt the
articles which we might manufacture
here, having so great an abundance
of the material at hand, and with our
market for the manufactured articles
all around US? The manufactures
that are scattered all over the north
and west undoubtedly cost money in
the first place; but no one believes
for a moment that they are not pay
ing the manufacturers, and paying
them well. The south has poured its
money into those institutions long
enough. 1t is time that it began to
take some account of it's
own resources, and learned
to walk alone: to build and plan and
contrive for itself, and not go always
i'm leading strings. Texas offers the
finest field for manufacturing interests
that could be found in the south; and
Austin will be the ideal manufacture
ing point in Texas. 1t will "cost
money! to develop these interests, but
it will be money invested more profit
ably than it could be in any other
way; and every dollar that is spent
in that way will go to the upbuilding
of a live and prosperous city. There
is really not citizen of Austin who
would be willing for her to remain as
she is; and to make her other than
she is will "cost money"

FOR THE SCHOOLS AND FOR
TEXAS,

Last week the state treasury con-
tanned a cash balance to the credit of
the permanent school fund of 1914 900;
it also held of that fund $7,430,0O0 of
bonds, So, 100000 of which were county
bonds. Now these bonds are con-
stantly falling due and are being paid,
SO that the $244OOO of cash is con-
stantly increasing. At the rate al
lowed by law, 10 per cent, this cash
balance should now beIyielding the

THE ELECTRIC THEORY.

Harry Raymond Rogers, of Dun
kirk, n. Y, is gaining quite reputa-
ton as scientific writer. His "new
Philosophy of the Sum- published
1886, attracted considerable attention.
He recently read paper before the
Chautauqua society of History and
Natural Science, a paper that is
worthy of wide circulation and | give
it below:
"Science asserts that the moon
shines with borrowed light, light
reflected from the SUM-" Science also
asserts that the 93,000,000 miles be-
tween the sun and moon is utter
darkness; that the moon is dead, hav-
ing no atmosphere, no water, no
clouds. no life in any form; that it is a
stupendous cinder fitted with count
less orators of extinct volcanoes.
Contradictory and incongruous as
these theories are none the less are
they universally accepted today.
But science is fallible and such in
consistences must lead to the grave
result of rendering suspicion. All our
theories pertaining to universal space
and its contents. To add to the dis
trust these theories awaken it is now
found that the telescope, which has
hitherto furnished the basis of our
conceptions of the moon, is not to be
relied upon. Prof. Holden, the
astronomer in charge of the new Lick
telescope, the largest in the world,
says of that instrument: There is no
object in the heavens which we must
not observe as if viewed for the first
time. 1t has opened a new vista of
the creation. 1t compels us to learn
everything anew. Even the most
familiar of supposed facts revealed by
other telescopes, as the moon for eX-
ample, are found in this great revela-
tor to be not facts but error"
That the moon. receives something
from the sun which freely passes
through the darkness and cold of
space, and which is sent onward to
the earth by reflection, is unquestion-
able, as is also the additional fact that
our atmosphere is awakened to its

AN INTERESTING BOOK.

The well-known writer and historian
Mr.. 7. w. Buel, author Of ''The Beauti-
full Story" THE Story of Man" "The
Living World" "Russia and Siberia"
ETC., has just completed what is probab-
ly the greatest of his works, entitled
"Heroes of Unknown Seas and Savage
Lands" The work is complete re-
cord of the discovery of all lands, and
contains descriptions of the first visits
made by Europeans to the wild races
of the world. The descriptions of the
superstitions appertaining to the sea
and the obstacles which strange beliefs
opposed to extend voyages are most in
teresting and instructive. The work
also comprises an authentic history of
the discovery of America by the Viking
Sea-Rovers, and its settlement by the
Scandinavians in the ninth century.
1t is supplemented with thrilling mar
ratives of voyages, discoveries, adven-
lures, battles, darings and sufferings of
all the heroic characters and bold ex-
plorers who have made ocean history
and who have established supremacy
over the most savage lands of the earth.
The book, which is most instructive
and entertaining one from cover to
cover, contains 600 large quarto pages,
and is embellished with more than 800
original eng.avin3s and several large
double-page colored plates, 'irawn es-
pecially for the work by the most fa'
NOUS artists of the day. 1t is elegant
ly bound and IS book which should
certainlf tinfi a place in every family.

SOME CoRRECTIoNs.-Most of ou
readers will probably remember the
article on early days which the
GAZETTE published in its issue of July
3lst, 1891, furnished us by Mr.. Ash
by Pierce, whose biography the article
contained. A few mistakes occurred
in the statements made and we have
been requested to correct them. The
first one reads like this: 'In March
1S47, he (Mr. PIERCE joined Nathaniel
Browns train and started for Oregon" ;"
Browns should have been Bowman's.
The next one reads: "In 1S47 he
came to Benton county, and located on
the farm now owned by Caleb Davis,
which is some five miles west of this
city, Mr.. Pierce came to Corvallis
that year to locate, but he found his
claim was taken by other parties, so
he returned to Linn county, where he
remained till 1649, when he went to
California in search of gold. The
third mistake is: AT that time (lS5O)
Corvallis had never been thought Of"
But it was. Mr. Avery's house was
built in the spring of 1850, and goods
were being sold three months before.
Speaking about freight rates, the state
ment was made that competition be-
tween the river boats from Corvallis
to Portland reduced freight from $40
to Sc per ton. II should have been
that the introduction of railroads
brought it down to Sc, and the O. d
C. railroad was completed up the val
ley, when freight was carried as low as
SO and 81 per ton. We regret the
occurrence of the mistakes, and we
trust that these will be satisfactory cor
rections.

OREGON WEATHER REPORT.

FOR WESTERN OREGON, FOR WEEK ENDING
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1891.
The weather has been cool and
cloudy and general rains have
fallen. Frosts occurred in various
portions on September 9th and
2Sth. Snow fell on Mary's Peak,
Benton county, on the 29th, the
first of the season. The temper
ature average three degrees day
below the normal. Over one half
of an inch of rain fell during the
week.
The frosts nipped few tomato
and other vines, but did no SER
ious damage. Some oats and
wheat that we're not thresh-
ed, were slightly damaged
by the rains. Flowing on
stubble land was commenced and
considerable summer fallowed
wheat has been sown. Potatoes
are being dug and the yield is very
large. Apples and pears are be-
ing picked. The grass is growing
nicely and affords good pasture.
Grape picking and wine making
will begin next week in some of
the southern counties.
