.IIDGE MCORALICK.

The Morning News of Dallas, of
February %, contained letter from
the Hon. A. p. Mccormick, judge o
that United States district court
which is a conclusive answer to the
charges filed against him before the
United States Senate judiciary COM
mittee and fully vindicates the en-
dorsement given him by the bars of
different cities Of Texas where he is
best. known; notably, the high en-
dorsement of his integrity and ability
by the Bar association of this city,
which was published in The STATES
MAN last week. Texas is noted for
the purity of its judiciary, both state
and federal, and no one man has con-
tributed more to the high standing of
its judges than the Hon. A. p. McCor-
mick. He is, native and to the manner
born and has been we'll known from
his boyhood to this hour by the best
men.of the state who do not hesitate
to brand every charge against him as
unjust and slanderous. AS an evil
dence of his standing in this
state, it is significant fact
that the charges filed against him
were filed against him by a represen-
tative from.another state, instigated
by a man who, is vindictive against
him, doubtless on account of the fact
that the Judge in his official capacity
felt it incumbent upon himself to re-
fuse bail to q relative of the man who
died in prison. The charge that the
Judge had appointed his son to a
receivership in railroad is
not true. In point of fact, his son was
by the district judge of
Dallas county, without the knowledge
of Judge Mccormick, and to whose
that position the most re-
spectacle men of that county testify.
The letter is too long for publication,
but even if it were not, Judge McCor-
mick needs no vindication in this COM
where he is well known, es-
Decially to the bar, as man of persO-
nal purity and judicial ability of a
very high order.

IN A FEW YEARS.

In a very short time Austin will
have railroad connection with Llano.
In other words, Austin is developing
symmetrically. Her water power will
make it possible for her to organize
great manufactures. Her connection
with Llano will give her the materials
to manufacture. Chief among these,
of course, is the Bessemer ore, but
there will be marble and granite also,
as well as other building rock. Aus
tin will be prepared to handle all
these materials, but she has other
materials nearer home, and is there
anything to prevent her making the
most of everything in the manufac-
turing line? For instance, there is
porcelain clay within few miles Of
Austin. Who will start mandatory
for this material that is almost at our
doors? Cotton and wool enough are
raised in this part of the state to
keep several large manufactures
busy, and Austin must have
the manufactures. This section could
supply an immense cannery with fruit
and vegetables, and Austin must
have She cannery. Every farm in this
country will produce broomcorn, and
Austin will have the broom factory.
In fact, there are so many industries
which Austin should and must have
that their number is practically end
less. Having built the dam, and thus
secured the means of continuing
work, the city will go on with her
work, and before many years all these
hillsides will be covered with cottages,
all these suburbs penetrated by rapid
transit lines, and the hum of industry
and growth will never cease.

MORE FROM MRS. BLAINE.
She Is Determined Not to Be Placed in G
False Light Before the Public.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 3.-SOme pun
gent utterances were given voice here
today by Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine in
relation to the open letter she wrote
to the secretary of state. Mrs. Blaine
is in Chicago en- route to New York,
accompanied by her little son, James
q. She was pale, but stated that ex-
cept for the nervous strain of events of
the past year her health was good,
Regarding the letter Mrs. Blaine said:
81 allowed Mr.. Blaine ten days in
which to tell the whole truth about
the treatment given me by his family
and to retract the statement
that it was / and not his son
who had done the counting before
marriage. Mr.. Blaine gave to the
public garbled extracts from my
letters to his son. These convey
an untruthful and very unjust
idea respecting me. If M. Blaine
does not, within ten days, publish the
full text of my letters, l will give to
the public the letters which his son
wrote me before marriage, and which
prove conclusively who was wooer.
AS great as Mr.. Blaine is, he cannot
and will not be allowed to asperse
my character with impunity and
without rejoinder on my part. If he
persists in his attacks on me, l will
teach him to regret it. He set up
love for his grandson as an excuse for
this attempt to blemish me. love
the child as my son quite as much as
Mr.. Blaine can love him as his grand
son, and for that reason it is my duty
to see that his mother does not rest
under false charge unanswered"

THE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MUS
TTCE.

ingalls, has spoken, and it may be
stated that when Ingalls, speaks he
always says something, and the peo'
pie always hear. He stood up before
the State Republican League conven-
tion at Topeka, and told how he had
been ignored by his party, had re-
ceived no invitation to take part in
the campaign, and said:
"And | will further add that upon
the death of my colleague, although
communication was had with other
Republicans; although kilograms were
sent from the capital of the state to
other political friends of the dead SEN
ator, notifying them that the remains
would lie in state in this building;
although special trains were sent for
other men, was not even notified, ex-
cept from other sources, of the arrival
of that consecrated clay"
The effect was electric. Cries of
"Shame ~ sounded all over the house,
and the crowd went Ingalls-mad.
The bitter and brainy Kansas states
man is not q safe man to ignore. He
may yet hold a place in Republican
ranks from which he will not be so
easily routed.

AN IMPARTIAL VERDICT.

A gentleman from New York, who
has travelled extensively and has had
the best opportunities for judging of
cities and their prospects, is among
the new corners in Austin. This gen.
tleman recently said to a STATESMAN
reporter: al do not believe that the
people of Austin appreciate what this
dam will be to them. With proper
advertising in few years Austin will
be city of 100000 inhabitants. That
dam is capable of building up city
in a desert, almost, and what will it
not do for town in such beautiful
location and so many advantages
already secured. The lake, the boats
and Austin's magnificent climate are
going to make this the most delightful
resort in the south, and as manu-
featuring town the chances of Austin
have never been surpassed" This,
be il remembered, is the verdict of a
gentleman who is merely looker-on
in Vienna, who has not one dollars
interest in the town and who is there
fore an impartial judge.

pelas in the ankles, and Springer is
in quite serious condition with erysi-
pelas in the face. 1t seems wonder
full, considering the evident danger,
that men in their love of glory and
the desire to be great will thus take
their lives in their hands, and in spite
of all, long to go to Washington, to
shine, perchance to suffer and to die.
What consolation these thoughts must
be to those of us considerably left
here at homei

ETHE bill in equity filed by the Water
company against the city OF Austin,
may cause good many equities to be
gone into. One of the equities might
be that of the tremendous increase in
cost of water during the last two
years. The people of Austin appre-
ciate the work the Water company
has done for them during the last
dozen or so years; but they think the
company got pretty good pay for the
service, they cannot understand the
present high rates, and if equities are
to be gone into, they have some of
their own they wonld like to present.
AT all events, they can see no equity
that will be big enough to stand be-
tween them and their loved dam,
which has equity and equality writ
ten all over it.

THAT SENATORIAL CONVENTION

THAT SENATORIAL CONyENI1ON'
1t is understood the chairman OF our
county democratic executive commit
tee says he does not feel that he Is au-
thorized to call a convention to con-
slider the question who shall be our
United States senator to fill out Judge
Reagan's unexpired term. If our
party have not the right in conven-
ton to speak out on this question, in
Heavens name on what political
question can they speak? Is it not
only their right but their duty SO to
express themselves? If so, how can
they be gotten together regularly in
such convention, save at the call OF the
executive committee, the present
party leaders? AS an abstract ques-
ton THE STATESMAN cares not who
might prove the choice OF that con-
vention; it should be called together
to act as it may see fit best to do. Its
members may have their preferences
lubb dS HE EDMhEN bNNj 'N'S
these out of the way, The STATES
MAN contends as an abstract question
of party discipline and duty such con-
vention should be called, should
speak and its commands should be
obeyed, for whomsoever they may be
issued.
If the chairman of th9 executive
committee thinks he has not the
authority or does not wish to take the
responsibility of issuing such call,
cannot the committee get together
and with him do it and give The DEM
ocrats of Travis an opportunity Of
being heard on this important ques-
ton? However the matter is gotten
at it should be gotten at Immediately,
and the convention called.

Death From 0verwork.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March ga.
]. Sawyer, a we'll known elevator and
grain man, died this morning of a
complication of diseases. He was the
owner of a large elevator line in
North Dakota and Minnesota, with
terminals at Superior and Minneapo-
lis. He was in Washington last week
opposing the anti-option bill and it is
thought overwork while there caused
his death.

THE MUGWUMP DlVINING ROD.

4 disposition is manifested by our Mugwump
contemporaries to brand in advance as traitor
every Democrat who is suspected OF dsincli-
nation to vote his party ticket. Considerable
heat has already been engendercd by appre-
hcnsion, and "treachery' is word that is com
ing into frequent use. We have no doubt that
thousands of persons in New-Yorl and other
States who profess the Democratic faith will
fail to convince themselves that they ought to
vote for Mr. Cleveland this year. They like
some characteristics of the candidate perhaps
but they are not awed and dazzlcd by him, nor
overwhelmed with gratitude at the thought Of
his willingness TO be President OF the United
States for another term. And so they have the
advantage q tcinc able to weigh his qualifca-
tons calmly and t. estimate the misfortune
which his election upon Free-Tradc platform
would infct upon the county. They recognize
in HIM stron.s will, a stout adherence {" as
symptoms. al considerable executive capacity
But they l,. no, think he possesses any OK
traorlnary merit as a man or a magistrate. and
so they are free to consider the political princi
pes which he represents and the policies which
he is irrevocably pledged TO promote. 1t will
be strange indeed if multitude Of Democrats
are not more and more averse as the campaign
advances, to supporting such a candidate on
such platform.
But granted that there are Democrats who
arc likely to be influenced by these considera-
tons, the question may be asked: Is it not
rather audaciOus for the professional Mug
wumps to call them traitors and their conduct
trcachery? Newspapers and individuals that
have diligently cultivated notorety by pro-
LESSONS of loyalty TO conscientious conviction
might be expected at least to tolerate in others
the virtue from which they have derived so
much comfort themselves. Taking them at
their own estimate, we should look to see them
welcoming all applicants for admission TO the
independent fold But instead Of this, they re-
pei them, saying: 1--WE are absolutely unseliish
unbiased and disintercsted, and in proof there
of we now declare to you that you cannot asso-
cate with us unless you are for Cleveland first,
last and all the time. That is our test. We
have no other means of knowing whether YOU
have consciences or not II you will swear that
You are going to vote for Cleveland, without
regard to antecedcnts or consequences, we shall
feel sure that you are independent and God
fearing citizens. Otherwise you must, in the
nature Of things, be impostors."
Doubtless there are those to whom the atti-
tude and utteiances of the Mugwumps seem
inconsistent and irrational. But that is because
