SLACK METHODS.

The Corsicana Courier-Observel
SAYS if it is foolish for the farmers tc
keep their smoke houses in the north
it is Just as foolish for the merchants
to keep their cotton and wool factories
in the north. There are whole puma
les and bales of good sense+i in this re-
mark. There is more money for the
.southern people in such manufactures
than there is for the northern people,
The fact is, the southern people are
acting fooIishly all around, for there
il MOI an item among all these train
l,ads of northern products which are
brought into This country that could
not be manufactured right here IN
Austin, or at any other point III the
south. When one comes to consider
not the meat or lard alone, but the
canned goods, the crackers and con-
tectiuns, the pickles, preserves and
jellies, the potatoes and cab
bage, the glucose syrup and gnu
cose sugar, the peas ana
beans, and even the fresh vegetables
and chickens and eggs that we BUY
from the north, and which furnish
at least nine-tenths of the tood
products consumed in this country,
we wonder in amaZement how IL Is
that we ever manage to meet expenses
at all. Add TO that the further fact
that every scrap of cloth, from the
coarsest cotton or wool to the finest
silk, every manufactured garment,
every yard of ribbon, every hat ana
bonnet, and glove and shoe and UNI
brella, and carpet and curtain, is
manufactured in the north, as well as
every article of furniture and every
tool and vehicle, and piece of porcelain
or glassware, and the situation be.
comes really astounding. And then,
remember that the south has most of
the materials for these things at hand,
and could manufacture them with
ease and profit; and the Only possible
conclusion is that the moneyed men
of the south are dull, and cannot leaIn
even from object lessons.

SOME of the good little Victoria
boys went out to the slaughter pens
the other night, and got quantity of
beef blood, which they proceeded to
smear literally on sidewalks and
doorsills and steps. Next morning
the town was all agog, and people
were diligently looking for the corpse
Of the murdered man. After while
they found they had been duped, and
they are now diligently looking for

INDEPENDENCE day! The day
when great Texas shook off the
shackles of Mexican rule and prepared
herself for union with the free people
who had created a North America.
Such a holiday, such day Of memory
and celebration should be ever dear
to us. A nation is truly greatest as it
remembers the deeds of valor and he
roism, the men who have made it
what it is and the pivotal days of its
existence.

be he patriotic duty of our citizens to
aid in nominating that man.
Let Travi- county therefore present
her best man-let her be abe to chal
lenge comparison with any other cal
didate in the dis riot, and doing this
she could we'll say to William
son county, "You have had the
senator for the last eight years; you
| furnished thu man that has been our
district attorney for the last six years,
q. II. Robertson) and now is one OF
The district judges; and you furnished
the men who have been our district
judges for the last six years (Townes
and Key; and considering the charac-
ter of man we now offer for senator,
you ought not to reject him simply be-
cause he is not from your county, but
you should aid in nominating him,
and then follow it up with your usual
Democratic majority"
The extra session will in all prob
ability detach Burnet county from
this district, and it will likely elm
mate the Importance of the question
as to whom the candidate favors for
United States senator, but if this
question is not practically settled by
the extra session, then we think it
wise that the people should instruct
their representatives and senators for
whom they should vote, beginning at
the precinct conventions and carrying
these instructions to the nominating
conventions.
Travis county and Austin are too
much interested to look with indiffer-
ence upon this matter, and not only
this, our pride as the capital district
should impel us to action and make
us lay aside petty differences and the
memory of dead issues and secure the
nomination, if we can, of the very
best man in the district. If such a
man has not already offered for sena-
tor, then let us hunt him up and bring
him out.

THE UNITED STATES SENA TORSHIP

THE UNITED STA TIES SENA T'ORSHIP
In view of the political history of
the Fort Worth Gazette, the circum-
stances of the appointment of Mr..
Chiffon United States senator, the
present discussion of that subject and
the pending canvass for that office,
this extract from an editorial in last
Sundays Gazette is quite significant.
1t reads:
The choice of United States sena-
tor is o grave public duty. 1t is one
that should be attended with mature
deliberatiOn, and decided only after
the freest and fullest discussion of all
the issues involved.
If the senatorship be perquisite to
be disposed of by u few admirlng par
tisans who have the shrewdness to
work select mass meetings, and to take
snap Judgment with resolutions of in
struction, then of course there Is moth
ing wrong in utilizing all the tricks
known to politics to secure advantage,
If, however, tho Gazette is right in
the assumption that the senatorship
is public trust, entailing the dis
charge of the highest duties which |
may be committed by the state to any
of its representatives, it is untimely |
to iuteTect such methods into the
pending campaign in Texas.
Now, while this was without doubt
WIiu,en with reference to conventions
in Texas that have recently been
speaking out on this subject, yet is it
not in general tenor of a kind with
such argument as should govern the
whole subject, even from its initial
stage? Is it not argument directly on
George Clark's platform treating OF
the same Subject? THE STATESMAN
is decidedly of the opinion "that the
senatorship is public trust" and as
such only the best fitted man in Texas
should be entrusted with its exercise
and performance.

ately upon his arrival here and was
prevented from calling upon General

that he had been called upon by Rob-
ert Summerlin, the attorney of Con
zales, in regarC to the delivering of
Cara into the hands of the military

entertain any proposition, as it is lot
within the province of the military
authorities to enter into negotiation
of that nature.
