manner in which the flames were handled,
and declared that by their forethought and
prompt action, Chief Scannell and Assistant
Chief Sullivan had saved the entire block

what is called three-way hose in the rear.
This was done by combining the streams
from engines Z. 8 aud 10. and thus increas-
ing the force three-fold. The pressure of
the water was very weak, and the fremen
were additionally hampered by the bursting
of many lengths of high-priced hose. Had
it not been for the three-way hose the force
would not have been sufficient to check the
eastward and southwark progress of the

WHILE the able Statesmen at Aus
tin are devising ways and means with
which to force the railways OF the
State to treat the people fairly, these
same legislators should bear IN mind
that the railways them selves deserve
to be treated fairly. The legislature
should pass stringent antiscalper
law, and thereby root out the army OF
ticket pirates now doing business IN
Texas. Such law would not only
be a legitimate protection to the rail-
roads, but in many ways benefit the
State by inducing special low rates to
prospectors and home seekers.-Hous'
ton Post.
The newspapers generally endorse
the appointment Of Dr. Swearingen as
state health officer. DR.. Swearingen
is popular gentleman, and deservedly
so with all classes, and above all with
the newspaper men.-Houston Post.
There are few laws that we need,
and but few, and to deluge the state
with big lot of new laws that would
unsettle the social order of things
would certainly do much more harm
than good, hence instead Of trying to
see how many laws they can pass
they should study to see how few
changes they can make to do justice
to the demands of the country. We
think the state needs a rigid enforce
ment of our present statutes worse
than she needs new statutes, hence to
the execution of the laws rather than
to the enacting OF new ones we think
the legislators should direct their at
tention.-Austin Globe.

THE DEAD SECRETARY.

A singular fatality seems TO a1'"o"
to President Harrison's cabinet. Some
misfortune has followed MS secre'
taries or their households almost from
the very day he went into the "hi'e
house. Blaine's favorite son ana a
beloved daughter were carried out Oh
his aristocratic Washington mansion
to their long homes. The wife and
daughter of Secretary Tracy persisted
in the flames of his burning residence,
and left him a stricken man, and
mourning was brought into the high
official circles of the government.
And now Secretary Window, one OF
the pillars of the present admin
istration, man in whom Har-
rison imposed implicit confidence
and bestowed upon him high personal
regard and friendship is touched by the
hand of death as he sat in the midst OF
Joyous banquet. 1t looks like some
evil genius haunts the Harrison adj
ministration, and at intervals smites
his ministry with the bosom OF wee
and mourning.

SURPLUS IN THE STATE TREASURY

There is now in the state treasur!
cash balance of over $l,9OO,OOc
This includes S365,000 permanent
school fund, 5000, 900 available school
fund, besides monies belonging to the
university and various asylum funds
The general revenue balance iootS
mp 100000 in round numbers
This fund has recently been
swelled by the $l4oooo
paid the state by the federal govern
ment for frontier defense claims.
Now what to do with this big sur
plus in our state treasury is d ques-
ton. Shall it lay up idle and unpro-
ductive, practically useless in the
vaults of Mr.. Workman, or shall it be
put to some use whereby the people
will derive some benefit?
The latter seems the Wisest course,
and the one most cOnsOnant with the
wishes of the people. Every dollar
now rusting in the big state safe in
the capitol is that much withdrawn
from the currency circulation OF the
state, and doing proportionate injury
70 the business of the people.
Now the people of Texas have de-
clared through the Democratic
platform of last year that they
want two things especial y
one is the building up of the State u l.
versity, and the other the endow-
ment of the Confederate Home at
Austin, if that can be constitutional
ly done. When the people determined
on these two things they also meant
that the legislature should he
means at its command. They meant
that the cash balance should be used
for these purposes, if there are no con-
stitutional barriers, nor do they desire
that useless surplus should be kept
piled up in the treasury, doing nobody
any good.
The residue of the present sur
plus, after accomplishing these and
similar purposes, might be restored
TO the circulation and the general
business of the state by the district
depository plan of Mr.. Gresham's
forthcoming bill as pointed out yes
terday.

THE TEXAS EDITORS.

Our legislators are up to their eyes
in bills AMI their work is progressing
thus far slowly but advantageously TO
all concerned. They have some
knotty questions to settle on the so
luton of which, will require extra
ordinary observation-disclosures Cou-
rier.
The legislature seems to be hilari-
ously anxious to indefinitely postpone
a redistricting of the state, and the
average legislator is of the opinion
that the kerosene can and the I'M
loaded gun are perfectly harmless
compared to any bill having this end
in view.- Fort Worth Gazette.
The bill prohibiting divorced per-
sons from marrying until after the ex-
piration of twelve months from the
issuance OF the decree, which has been
reported by the senate judiciary COM
mittee No. 2, is an enactment needed
in Texas as in other states to prevent
the debauchery of marital relations
Fort Worth Gazette.
Governor Hogg told Bolton gentle
man the other day that the railway
commissioners to be selected by him
would be men whom he would have
to beg to take the places; they would
oblige him by accepting.-Belton
Journal.
Several railroad commission bills
have been introduced in the Texas
legislature. There will be some lively
wool pulling over the bills before one
Is evolved that will be satisfactory to
a majority OF the members. There
are several gentlemen in the lecisla-
ture who are anxious to father such a
law, and they will fight manfully for
the survival of their progeny.-George-
town Sun.
The railroad commission will elm
mate the railroads from state notifies
The legislature OF the future will not
be annoyed by the presence and i'm
portunities OF railroad lobbyists, All
questions relative to railroad traffic
will be settled by the commission
The only thing the legislature will be
called upon to do, will probably be to
amend the law creating the commits
SION, IN some respects, to the end that
even-handed justice may be dealt ont
to both the people and the roads. The
sessions of our legislatures, instead of
being prolonged by railroad business
will be able to transact all necessary
business within the time prescribed

AUSTIN AND THE HIGH COURTS.

The STATESMAN is deeply gratitied
to know that judiciary committee
number one of the senate, to which
was referred Senator Stephens bill
-proposing to consolidate all the high
courts IL Austin, will make favora-
bly, report on the passage OF the BILL
The majority of the gentlemen who
compose the committee, when the re-
port is submitted to the senate, will
say by their action that they
don't nourish that jealous preju-
dice against Austin, which has some
times been characteristic of law
makers. They are afflicted with
no "shriyeled localism," either. On
the other hand they are broad guaged
They recognize the business as well as
the Importance of the bill, and that is
why they will, in few days, recon-
mend the passage OF the same. Aus
tin is the capital of Texas-the seat
OF the state government. 1t is here
that the laws governing the state are
made, and it is here that the state
university, the state asylums and the
heads of governmental departments
are located. Austin has good
railroad facilities and the best
hotel accommodations in the state.
There is no logical and reasonable
argument why all the high courts
shall not be held in this city. Hon.
Cone Johnson and Hon. w. II. Pope
will, it is understood, present minor
ity report and oppose the passage of
the bill. Mr.. Johnson, as THE STATES.
MAN understands it, opposes the bill
on constitutional grounds. His argu-
ment, however, is uptenable and
extremely far-fetched. The con-
stitution provides that the SUI
preme court shall cit in Austin,
and not more than two other
places in the state, or words to that
effect. Unless THE STATESMAN is
badly mistaken, it does not declare
specifically that these courts shall be
held in as many as three different
places. 1t is perfectly natural, how
ever, for Mr.. Johnson to oppose this
bill. Mr.. johnson resides in Tyler and
should it pass, it would be his OK that
would be gored. This being the case,
Mr.. Johnson, in his opposition, is only
discharging an imaginary duty to his
individual constituency. But his con-
stituency is not the state. Where the
interests OF any particular section
conflict with those of the state at
large, it is the misfortune of that sec
ticn. which is bound to get the worst
OF it. Texas is an immense state and
her interests are diversified. That is
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-02-05

why it is so virtually important that no
class legislation should be enacted
These are doubtless some o. the
reasons why the judiciary committee
will make favorable report upon the
bill, and THE STATESMAN predicts that
the senators who vote to adopt the
will be warmly commended by
not only their individual constituency
but by the people of the state at large
with probably one or two EXCEPTIONS
