Mehoopany people are considerably
excited over the prospects of a mon
strous numbering and tannery scheme.
Davadge and Co., OF Berkshire, n. Y,
representing a great English syndicate,
have secured an option on the Rickets
tract, comprising about 10000 acres
of timberland lying along the Mehoop-
any creek, and were at Mehoopany
Saturday looking the ground over with
a view of building huge tsnnery at
that place, provided they purchase the
tract. They will also build a standard
guage railroad back to Forkston, by
way of Jenningsville, by which lumber
and bark will be brought down to the
Lehigh Valley Road. This will ne
cessitate bridge across the river,
which it is proposed TO build as COM
bination railroad and wagon bridge
The tannery will probably be located
on the east side of the river, near the
depot. Jennings Bros. of Lopez, will
doubtless cut the timber, and will erect
a huge mill for that purpose back in
the woods. The plan, if it materializes,
will be big boom for the numbering
interests of Wyoming county.

A Ninety Year-0ld Son.

A man 90 years old going home to
visit his mother and father, was at the
Union Depot last night. If MS story
is true, Julius SCHNEIDER, of Washing
ton, Pa, has family whose length Of
life will go on the records. He is a
German, and went to New York,
thence to sail for the Fatherland. He
says his father and mother live in Leip-
sig, and are IA and IIs years old, re-
spectively. He had his ticket for New
York, and appeared plentifully sup
piled with money. Notwithstanding
his years, Mr. SCHNEIDER was far from
showing the irfirmities of age. His
hair was snow white, but a bloom still
freshened his cheek, showing his rare
vitality. He has been in the tannery
business in Washington county for
many years. If he arrives safely at
his birthplace he will remain there to
end his days -Pittsbvg Times.

No Matter How Hard

any druggist tries to sell you his own
cough medicine, remember he does it
because he makes more money on it.
Insist on having Kemps Balsam for
the throat or lungs, for there is no
cough remedy so pure and none SO
quick to break up a cold. For in
fluenza, soreness of the throat and
tickling irritation with constant cough,
Kemp's Balsam is an immediate cure.

THE FALLEN KANSAN.

There is no more pitiful figure in
American politics today than Senator
Ingalls,. When at the height of his
power and renown he led the bloody
shirt section OF the Republican party
against the South, he lowered above
his associates like the leader of one of
the crusades against the Holy Land
So far as words and figures of rhetoric
are concerned. he made war on the
South. He heaped infamy upon the
heads of the white people of our sec
ton, and thirsted for the gore of the
planters of Mississippi who dared as
cert their manhood and protect tht ir
homes. Like the pictures OF Beelzebub
in the old time editions of Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress, Ingalls, stalked
about belching fire and smoke against
the white man and woman of south
Carolina, Louisiana and-as far rs he
dared--of Texas. Had he had the
power he, if his words were true, would
have consigned half of us to perpetual
dungeons. We were all murderers,
thieves and what was, in his eyes, worse
than all, the oppressor of the poor Afri.
can. We kept him away from the polls
we intimidated him, we wronged him
to such an extent that the Kansas
senator suggested to his negro friend
the idea OF revolt, in which it was his
duty to apply the torch and the mid
night dagger.
He reached such a frenzy against
the Caucasian race in the Southern
States that he contemptuously turned
his back on the cries of starving farm.

WHAT AUSTIN NEEDS.
GRAVEL ROADS WILL BE BUILT LEAD
ING TO THE CITY.
The Citizens OF Austin, AS Well as
tho Farmers, Should Lend Their
Assistance Travis County Road
Association Means Business.

Every man in this country under
stands fully the need Of good roads
! and the benefit they will be to the
tanner as well as to Austin. lt's a
subject which has been thoroughly
discussed by the STATESMAN and one
that can not be agitateI too much.
1t is OF the greatest Importance to
every citizen OF Austin, and with the
right kind of spirit, good roads can be
had. Ii this legislature will enact a
law authorizing the sale OF county
road bonds, Travis county will jump
at the opportunity and there is every
possibility of such a law being made.
The members OF the Travis county
road association held a meeting at
Mr.. Dittlinger's store yesterday and
the zeal and enthusiasm displayed by
each member, was Commendahle.
This association is operating in cor
junction with the county and last
wear built several miles of road. The
county pays two-thirds OF tn
expense and the associ..
ton pays oue-third, The capital Of
the association is made up from the
citizens of Austin and number OF
farmers. Their roads are made OF
gravel and as can be easily seen, by
the work north of town, near the asy-
lum, ale tirst.class, and in good condi--
ti0n the year around.
This year the association expects to
adopt q different plan in building
roads and instead Of piece here an
there will complete the work to thh
county line. Mr.. Dittlinger Informed
the reporter that they would complete
the Montopolis road as far as Onion
creek. This is one Of the principal
roads leading to Austin and one mos
in need OF repair. The expense as
shown by work already done for build
ing q gravel ROAD is one dollar for lin-
eai yard, which is very cheap owing TO
the fact that gravel Is in abundance
throughout the county.
The merchants and business men of
Austin should subscribe literally to
this fund rs it is matter OF business
with them.

KING Leopold of Belgium talked
horse sense to the deputation of work
ing men who called upon him yester-
day. The king reproved the working
men for consolidating themselves into
a separate caste. The king was right
in saying they were all Belgians, and
the people all working men from our
rulers down to the man with the hoe,
or the smith at his forge, and the class
which attempts to separate itself from
the great body Of the people makes a
mistake.

Not a Detective,

THE STATESMAN made mention
yesterday that R. 5. Stewart, press
man for the Southgate Printing com
pany, had been arrested for THEFT and
in his pocket a certificate of member
ship to the Western Union Protective
and Detective association was found in
his pocket. Mr.. J. w. Cottrell, the
manager for the Detective association,
says that the young man was not a
member, but had filled out the blank
which he got hold of when printed,
for himself and that it did not have
the seal of the ASSOCIATION. Mr.. Cot
trell further states that to become
member one must first be of age, and
that all members are either constables
or deputy officers of some kind VINO
are recognized by the state and city
officers as such.

THE CONVENTION SCHEME.

The vote in the house last week
upon the proposition for cOnstitu-
tional convention no doubt thorough
ly represented the popular sentiment.
The movement was killed by II to ID.
Until the assembling of the present
session nobody dreamed that any such
question would be sprung. In all
the meetings and political assem-
blages OF the people for the last few
years, no mention was made OF a de-
sire for new constitution. Texas is
prospecting and growing rich under the
instrument, and her people contented
and happy. They were disposed tu
"let we'll enough alone" and desired
to face neither the additional and
unnecessary cost nor the dangers of
constitutional convention.
Everybody has been aware Of
the fact pointed out by
30 good an authority as Governor
Coke fifteen years ago that the ju-
dietary article in the constitution is
defective. But the great mass of the
people of Texas, in the language of
Shakespeare, prefer to bear the ills we
already have than fly to Others we
know not Of. Besides, there is a way,
and preferable way of changing our
constitution by amending, not totally
overthrowing it.
The people are almost unanimously
opposed to tamperiug with the con-
stitution at present. The recent
movement in the legislature came not
from them, but the money power, the
corporations and the creditor classes
OF the state. Through constitu-
tional convention more shackles could
I've placed upon the people.
The homestead law, one OF
the most glorious enactments
of this state, has stood in the path OF
the shylocks to the home of the ciii
zen or his widow and orphans. The
shylocks wanted it removed. The
corporations also had some fish to fry,
and the hidden hand would soon have
appeared in q convention, in which
the PAndOra's box CT prohibition and
other defunct questions might again
be turned loose to disturb the peace
and quiet of this great state aud mag
unanimous people.
The seventy-seven members OF the
house, who voted forMr. Terrells res
olution, spoke the sentiments of the
people OF Texas. Hands Off the con.
stitutionl 1t is tho barrier which
protects the people against monop-
oily. Let it remain as it is. If We
want to change, or add to it, we can
do so by amendment.

But the farmers OF Kansas, who had

of his people, who placed less conf
