CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.

The wires have flashed under the
ocean the intelligence that Charles
Stewart Parnell is dead. His has
been a most remarkable career. POS
sessed of q keen intellect, forcible ora
torical power and great executive ana
organizing ability, he quickly maze
his influence felt in parliament ana
had for years been CHOSEN
and loved leader of the irish
people in their stupendous ana
heroic struggle for Home Rule. Great
was the work he had in his Keeping
and well did he press it on to victory.
Rut there was an undercurrent in his
life. Great in the halls of state and
powerful in the councils of his people,
the nthorn i'm the fleshn was social
weakness. He fell, a victim to
too loose a conception OF the
sacredness of the home and
family circle. Publicly confronted
with the evidence of his guilt his trial
was noisome affair that stank in
the nostrils of the world. His subse-
uuent marriage to the object OF his
Illicit love could not condone his Of
Tense. The issue was clearly made:
could peculiar fitness for national
work be made to outweigh public
sense of decency outraged? Could
Ireland, however much her need, at
ford to have such a champion with
clothes so besmirched with social
crime? The peerless Gladstone, the
greatest power for Ireland, took stand
for honor and demanded that the Irish
cause must sooner loose it's right hand
man than that the world should see
such social scapegoat the avowed
champion of it's righteous cause.
The dual life of man! How the acts
dovetail! "a mans a man for all
that.n DIR. Jekyl will yet be con-
quered by Mr.. Hyde. The light of
great craftsmanship has gone
out in the gloom of personal honor
oyerthrown. A name that might
have lived on the brightest page of
history will be found written on the
musty page of scandal. There was
very much of good in Charles Stewart
Parnell, but the faint of evil leavened
the whole lump; and the verdict now
is written in the tears of his friends
he lived II few years too long.

TIN BUCKET BRIGADE.

That is a prosperous city which has
large tin bucket brigade, and if the
people of Austin are wise they will
set on foot enterprises which will
create a steady demand for the little
tin dinnerpail which is carried by the
workingman. All the streets should
be full of them, morning and evening.
If there were thousands of them so
much the better. 1t would mean more
to Austin than the coming Of any
number of millionaires, because it
would mean that factories were run
ming, and that implies the building
up Of the city in a material way. 1T
would mean that hundreds Of little
homes were filled with quiet and
happy families; for these people who
work hard are generally good citi-
zens. 1t would mean so many
hundreds or thousands of dollars paid
into the hands of these workmen for
every days labor, and the greater
part of this money spent here in the
town. Furniture must go into the lit
tie home, groceries upon its table, fire
on it's hearthstone. The family must
be clothed, the children must have
books. Every avenue of trade in the
city would be quickened, all because
of these little tin buckets. The best
thing city can do for itself is to get
work for its tin bucket brigade. Rich
men may plan great enterprises, but
they depend on the army with the tin
bucket to help carry them out. Aus
tin has great need of the work which
can be done by this faithful brigade.
Who will be the first to give Austin
place among manufacturing cities to
bring the dawn of prosperity and the
advent of the bucket brigade?

The How Of It.

How poor, how rich, how abject,
how august, how complicated, how
wonderful is man, and it might be
added, how "more 500 is woman.
With her peculiarly delicate and in
tense organization, she is the superla-
tive degree of man. Even in diseases
she eXcels him, having many that he
has not. She has, however, found
out grand remedial agent for the
cure of her diseases in DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, medicine
suited to her nature, made for the ex-
press cure of those diseases which af-
feet her. 1t is especially effective in
all weaknesses incidental to mother
hood, while it is also potent restora-
tive tonic for the feeble and debilitat-
ed generally.

CONSIDERED WITHOUT IT'S NAME

CONSIDERED WITHOUT IT'S NAME.
|'Give u dog a bad name, and you
might as well kill him. is II saying
so well known it has became trite
But on the contrary will not history
bear out the assertion that more evil
has been perpetrated under the name
and guise of a good cause, than ever
was done of open malice per Sc? Can
we not be allowed 10 Get from under
the shadow ofthe "alien" and law and
discuss that law in it's true bearing
and freed from the halo "alien" throws
around it's head? BY this we do not
mean to go to the other extreme and
dub it all the hard names by which ii
has been called. Let us simply consider
it law without name, measure tc
regulate tho loaning of money in
Texas and the vesting of title to lands
in this state. Surely such a measure
can be discussed dispassionately.
Now if the legislature has passed a
law on this subject of such a nature
as materially obstructs the borrowing
of money in Texas, if this law compels
the needy farmer or merchant or
householder to give 10, II, Is and even
18 per cent for his money instead of
and per cent, then has not such a
crisis been reached us calls for gravest
consideration? That such state of
affairs is upon us cannot be denied.
There has been no drouth or great dis
aster in Texas annihilatinS values, the
cotton crop may be cut little short
but all other crops and farm products
are more plentiful than ever before in
the state; then why should we be in
the grip of the greatest money strin-
gency for years? And when did this
panic strike us? BY some it is claim
ed we are but just now feeling the de-
preston from the crippled money
market that existed in the east at the
beginning of this year. But had not
that wave rolled upon and over us
before last June? Did not this
present storm break on us almost in.
stantly this new legislative enact
ment went into effect, and is it not
directly traceable to that law? If this
is not so, why is it that other South
ern and Western states are not now
affected as is Texas? We areinformed
that money is very plentiful and
going at 6per cent in Missouri and
Kansas-why not in Texas? Why is
it that even the usury limit of 10 per
cent is here exceeded by 3, 5 and even
per cent? Is the answer not found
in the fact that we have not only
driven out all foreign money, but have
also frightened off the lenders of the
great money centers of our own coun-
try? Have we not proof of this in the
action of the,Tennessee company men,
toned in e|,,article in last Sundays

Seeing.

Rev. Dr. Talmsge: was reading of
a painters child who became blind in
infancy. But, after the child was
grown, a surgeon removed the blind
ness. When told that this could be
done, the child's chief thought, her
mother being dead was that she would
be- able to see her father, who had
watched over her with great tender
ness. When sight came she was in
raptures, and ran her hands over her
fathers face, and smut her eyes as il to
assure herself that this was really the
father whom she had only known by
touch, and now looking upon him, mo-
bile man as be was in appearance as
well as in reality, she cried out: "Just
to think that | ha this father for so
many years and never knew him." As

CONTROL OF THE INDIANS.
President Harrison Is Thinking OF
Changing Their Management.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says: Ever since the be.
ginning OF the present Ind nm troubles
President Harrison has been thinking
seriously OF urNng legislation to Sc.
cure the transfer of the Indians from
the Interior Department to the con-
troll Of the War Department. The mat.
ter was discussed at some length dur
ing Gen. Miles visit, and all of the
War Department officia united with
hun in the opinion that the In dians
should De placed under mill ary con.
troll. When al! the warriors have been
captured there will be radical de.
parture in the method of management.
In view Of the vast amount OF civ.
ilizatiOn patronage connected with the
Indian Office, the Presi lent finds it
difficult to secure legislation that will
curtail the powers of the office, but
there are many things that may be
done by the Executive, 80 that, while
the transfer may not be formally ef.
iected by an act of Congress the
change Can he practically accomplish.

urposes OF administration, leaving
the agents to look after the issue Of

Gle have been made subordinate to
tn military during the present trou-
oles, and there would seem to be moth.
ing to prevent the President from con.
tinuing his order after peace has been
restored, aud the understanding is
that the auth forities have something OF
that kind in contemplation. The War

requests from representatives Of the
State military to send specially organ.
