THE TARIFF A TAX.

Now, my friends, / do not propose to
take up your time to argue the question that the
tariff is a tax. Every citizen understands that
question now. The campaign Of 1883. although
a disastrous one in its results, necessarily was a
campaign OF education. [Applausel Our peo-

they did then, and since the Mckinley bill was

ToDAY's issue contains common
dation from some of our prominent
citizens regarding the proposed rail-
road connecting the south with the
north side, to which the readers at
tentfon is called. We desire to en-
phasize if possible the Importance of
prompt action. The proposition seems
very simple, i. g., capital proposes to
build the road, bridging the Colorado
river, if sufficient bonuses are obtain
ed. The sooner the bonuses are Sc
cured the sooner the work will COM
mence. If the influential parties who
are behind this can be made to be-
come interested in Austin's welfare so
much will be gained, without regard
to the other valuable aspects of the
enterprise.

TRAINING SCHOOLS.

The last number of the Helping
Hand contains an excellent write up,
with handsome illustrations, of the
training school features embodied in
the curriculum of Tillotson institute
1t should inspire the white people OF
Austin with some ambition to estab-
lish training schools for their own
young people, when they see how sue
cessfully the idea is being carried out
in this colored school. With a good
manual and training school in this
city for boys and girls, pupils might
be brought from all over the state,
and indeed, from every Southern
state. Greater possibilities are be-
fore such school than before any
other that could be established. They
take the youth and prepare him for
his life work. There is no such thing
as filling his brain pan with empty
facts, which he doesn't know how to
use. The youth goes from the train
ing school to his work, and knows all
the details of that work, and can dc
it well. Why cannot Austin have 9
training school? Let her citizens con.
slider the matter.

THE Llano News man has been Wis.,
iting Austin, and he gives the city
this heartfelt and unreserved little
send-Off:
The News spent a few days in Aus
tin the first of last week. Work on
the dam is progressing most satisfac-
torily. The late high waters in the
Colorado has given the masonry a
severe test, which it has stood in a
manner to prove that the dam is a
certainty. Austin is very proud Of
the dam, and her citizens have christ
ened several different enterprises
after it. For instance, there is the
"dam dummy line," "dam wood
yards" "dam saloons, ""dam streets"
and other dams too numerous to men,
tion, among which is the - hard
job to get advertisements for news
paper. Austin has bright future be-
fore her, and when she begins to util-
ize her unsurpassed water power a
new era will have just dawned upon
her which will make her one of the
foremost cities of the South.

FARMER SHAW has just returned to
Dallas from campaign tour, and has
made too separate remarks, both OF
which are recorded in the Times
Herald. One of them is that Hogg's
denomination is an assured fact, as he
has $50 delegates to Clark's 20. The
other is that if Hogg should not be
renominated Reagan will be, and that
Reagan will then appoint Hogg on
the commission. 1t will be noticed
that every one of Farmer Shaw's "as-
sured facts" has uspiciously large
"if' attached to it. AS for this haley
on shifting of places between governor
and commissioner, why the country
will probably have something to do
with this little game of "Puss in the
Corner" and it is too early in the
game for any man to be sure of his
corner.

PABLO MUNEZ has been found
guilty of violating the United States
neutrality laws. Pablo was an as.
sociate of Cara, whose revolution did
not succeed. Diaz, whose revolution
did succeed, also organized his army

not interfere with Diaz. There is a
great difference between revolution
which succeeds and revolution which
does not succeed.

A SPECIMEN OF DOUBT.

The United States government got
a couple of Chinese lepers boxed
up in a freight car the other day,
and sent the car over to Van
couver. Then the British offici'
ais merrily shunted the car back
across the United States line; and
then the United States officials sent it
over to Vancouver again. This pleas
ant little byplay was kept up for sew
eral days. Finally it occurred to some
one that possibly even lepers might

They had been going along beauti
fully for month or so when Marie
concluded that nothing could be de-
vised that was quite so delightful as
housekeeping. One of her friends was
keeping house in the dearest, most
delightful cottage, and she wore the
sweetest little white aprons, and
had just the loveiest bunch of keys!
and Marie wanted cottage and some
aprons and keys of her own. John
knew that he could not afford the
luxury, but what is a man to do when
the dearest girl in the world dances
around him and kisses him, and says,
"Oh you blessed darling, just know
you willW What, indeed! Why
John went out and bought a cottage,
and furnished it, and though a pang
went to his heart when be saw the
bill, there on the other hand was the
delight of seeing Marie pin up her
skirt and tie on an apron, and
play at housekeeping. OF course
she didn't know anything about
it, and they delivered themselves over
into the hands of the servants.

of them. There was never

has carried around with her, doubt
less, through many journeyings. She
puts on her glasses sometimes, and
gets the box down to find button
that will do for Bessie's doll dress, or
for Harry's waist, and there is such
store of them that she never fails.

button box, but some of the treasures
there they must not touch.
There is tiny pearl button that

tefer1 70 the heavy stupor that charnc-
terisep this fever. Formerly the name
was dsed to include also what is now
knovA as typhoid, which was them re-
garded Is only q milder form OF typhus.
The two diseases are wholly distinct,
Notwithstanding some resemblance In
certain od the symptoms, says the
Youths Companion.
Typhus fever prevailed extensively
during the sixteenth century in Italy,
Francs and England. In England
sheriffs, Judges and jurymen took the
infection from prisoners brought before
them and on account of the prevalence
Of the disease in jails II came TO be
known as jan fever Other names have
been camp fever, spotted fever, putrid
fever and ship fever. In England and
Ireland It has repeatedly prevailed with
great severity within the last two hum
dred years
There have been occasional outbreaks
Of It In the leading seaports OF the
United Btates. Between January 1,
1851, and November 1. 1884, one thou
sand four hundred and twenty-eight
cases were sdmitted TO Bellevue hos
pital, New York--more than five hum
dred of them during the last six months
Of that period
i1Typhus fever, when not fatal, lasts
about three weeks For the first week
the symptoms are not severe, and the
patient may even keep about his work.
Toward the end OF that time the char
acteristic rash appears the other sym
toms are more pronounced and the pa
tient takes his bed. During the second
week ell the symptoms-great prostra-
ton, frequency Of the pulse and mental
confusion-are rapidly intensified. BY
the beginning of the third week con-
valescence begins, and by the end of the
week the fever has terminated.
When the disease proves fatal death
occurs as rule by about the tenth day.
Typhus is not nearly so contagious
as some other diseases 1t originates in
crowded conditions and It's spread is
mainly confined to such conditions. 1t
is almost unknown in the rural dis
tricts. It does not spread from house
to house A free circulation of the air
arrests the infectious principle, so that
patient can be safely isolated in his
own house.
While in typhoid fever the infection
is mainly in the discharges, in typhus it
Is mainly in the breath and the emana-
tions Of the skin. 1t is believed that
clothing does not convey the Infection
unless strongly impregnated with it;
hence the fever is not likely to be COM
municated by an attendant.
