The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-01-15

ANOTHER chapter was enacted in
the Nebraska embroglio yesterday.
The supreme court recognized Boyd as
governor and advised Ex-Governor
Thayer to desist from his foolish policy
of attempting to hold on to the execu
tive chair. AS n consequence the
board of public buildings say they will
forcibly eject Thayer from the COVER
nor's Office. The real facts in the case
are that at the late election the Demo
Gratis and the Alliance polled each
over 10000 votes in Nebraska, and the
Republicans over 6S,t00. The Demo-
Gratis had a majority of la over the
Alliance. All parties will have to bow
TO the decision of the supreme court
Boyd is not only recognized by the
supreme court, but the other state
officers also.

THE Fort Worth Gazette says: "To
Governor.elect Hogg: The six. shooter
is too numerous and murder is too
rampant in Texas. The six-shooter
and murder have kept more people
out of Texas than any other single
cause. Can you not aid law-abiding
people to drive the six-sEooters and
the murderers out of Texas2" Never
were truer words more aptly spoken.
Crime in all its forms must in Texas
be suppressed. We are spending
money in advertising Texas and we
don't want crime news to go out with
what we are telling people of our
selves. All news going out of Texas
must be both true and good.

oUAY's PROPOSITION.

Nobody ever doubted the real pur-
pose of the force bill. The glimpse OF
the bayonet is visible behind every
section OF this infamous measure
Few, however, were prepared for 80
bold an avowal of the objects OF the
Republican leaders as the proposition
OF Senator Quay to suspend habeas
corpus and put the South again under
martial law, for this is the plain Eng
lish of the new force bill gotten up by
the distinguished peculator OF the
Pennsylvania state treasury. IL Is
the coolest piece Of bare faced intamy
since this whole force bill business be-
gan. Senator Quay proposes to let
the president be the judge OF the ne
COSTLY for the suspension OF writ, in
order to "prevent force or fraud at the
polls" Quay, smarting under the
recent defeat of bis man Delamater in
Pennsylvania, painting for revenge on
somebody, seems 10 have gone
olsan daft, and forgotten the
constitution, if indeed he or
any OF his co-leaders have any respect
for that instrument. Nor in his new
bill is it even pretended that state
of "repellion or invasion" exists, or
that "the public safety" demands
such extraordinary and revolutionary
methods, those being the only condi-
tions mentioned by the constitution
in which the suspension of the writ is
permissible.
No doubt the failure Of the negroes
to vote the Republican ticket IN North
Carolina and the election by the peo-
pie OF over 100 Democratic majority it
the house at the last election are
deemed by Quay an actual rebellion
and sufficient cause for overriding
the great writ of right if Repub-
lican president thinks it necessary &c
imprison, under the shadow
of the bayonet, our citi-
zens at the will and
pleasure OF partisan officials and re-
peat on American soil the infamies
and horrors of the French bastile
That any citizen of the United States
that member of the United States
senate, should make such a proposal
at time of profound peace argues
the desperate straits to which the Re-
publican party has been reduced ;
either that or Senator Quay has gone
absolutely insane.

IT was brilliant contest between
Miner and Browning for speaker Of
the house. 1t perhaps never has been
equaled in the history of Texas legis-
lstive preliminary work. 1t was a
battle between giants and it was
fought to the counting of the very
last votes in the hat. They stood out
before their brother representatives as
two OF the houses strongest men,
certainly two Of the most popular.
Mr.. Miner has every cause to be
elated over his victory and he is
heartily congratulated. On the con-
trsry, however, Mr.. Browning has
suffered defeat that was so near a
victory that he should have no cause
for regret. He has demonstrated
what tremendous following he has,
and his is the right to be very proud
man.

THERE is no earthly occasion for q
smallpox scare here in Austin. One
case il is true has been discovered, but
it has been promptly quarantlned
against and nothing further is ex-
pected from it. What is required is
strict vigilance on the part OF the
health officers, and this we are assured
will DO forthcoming. II would also lie

some days ago, that there be a general
vaccination. There is no necessity for
fright, just do as suggested and all

Literary Notes.

The paper, by the eminent English
scientist, DIR. Alfred Russell Wallace,
in The Arena for January is creating
much comment. In it DR.. Wallace
examines the problem, care there
objective appsritions| and reviews
many important cases cited in reports
of the English society for psychical
researches. The paper, as would
naturally be supposed, is scholarly
and strictly scientific, DR.. Wallace ap.
pearing as thoroughly at home in the
psychic realm as in the great field of
evolution, where he had so long stood
side by side with Charles Darwin.
