CAN'T COPE WITH OUR COAL.
The Hichnoss OF Our Fields n Little Too
Much for tho Pittsburgh Operators.

The sichnoss OF Our Fields n Little Too
Much for tho Pittsburgh Operators.
Pittsburgh Di&patch
Said a gentleman interested in the
coal business tho othor day: 1.-THE
West Virginia operators arc playing the
deuce with Pittsburgh operators who
ship to Lake Erie, and tho only thing
that will prevent disaster will BIO q re-
duction in freight Of 20 cents a ton by
tho Pennsylvania company. Freight
charge must come down 90 to 70 cents,
or Pittsburgh operators will BIO obliged
to give up the lake trade. A very slight
knowledge OF arithmetic, added to ordi-
nary intelligence and common sense,
will explain how it is that tho operators
in the West Virginia fields near Morgan
town and bordering on this state, includ-
ing such powerful capitalists rs Senators
Davis and Camden and Secretary FL
kins, can get away, hands down with
Pittsburgh.
I'm the first place, Pittsburgh coal
costs tho owners from Sl00 to $500 an
aero, while West Virginia coal is only
$50 an acre. Secondly, Pittsburgh oper-
ators must pay 70 cents a ton for min
ing, while West Virginia operators pay
30 cents ton, and Mt that price their
minors can make as much money MS
Pittsburgh miners. Thirdly, Pittsburgh
coal veins are but four feet thick, while
these West Virsinian veins are 7 to 10
feet thick. Fourthly, it costs as much
in the way Of machinery to operate a
4-foot vein rs it does a 10-foot vein, and
entry ways cost as much in developing
4-foot vein as in l0-foot vein.
THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK REQUIRED.
ut requires US much work on the
part OF a miner to cut under 4-foot
vein preparatory to dropping his coal
as to do tho same thing under l0-ioot
vein. A four-foot vein yields 1000 tons
to tho acre. whilo these West Virginia
mines yielded from 1000 to 10000 tons.
Finally, when tho mines are worked
out your tipples and other machinery
necessary to abandon has put out twice
the amount OF coal in West Virginia as
in Pittsburgh territory. Pittsburgh
coal costs the operator in some cases 10
cents a ton, while the West Virginia
operator at $40 an acre gets it for a
quarter OF cent ton.
"Now all these things taken together
enable the West Virginia OPERATOR to
lay dowa coal in Cleveland at Sr77 per
ton, coal over 2!-inch screen, and, tax
ing freigh$ into consideration, he can
compete to an extent that leaves but
ST cents net for Pittsburg coal over a
/! screen. AS mining costs 70 cents and
the coal 10 cents you see there is loss
OF q cents per. ton in competition with
these West Virginia people.

WILLIAM TELL A MYTH.

How very unnecessary and disa-
greeable some of our veracious histo-
rians are making themselves. They
are destroying some of our sweetest
legends and decapitating some of our
greatest heroes.
We all remember the teacher in
the old field school house, with a col
lege education and literary taste
who was wont of a long summer eve
ming, when the girls and boys were
drowsy and needed little enlivening
up, to pull out from his desk the third
reader and with dramatic effect read
US the melodrama of William Tell.
How we thrilled with indignation
at the tyraAt Gesler, how our
boyish patriotism was aroused as
we sympathized with the independent
spirit of Tell when he refused to bow
to the cap, the sign of royalty, on The
pole erected on the village green, and
then when Tell was brought before
Gesler and condemned to death but
offered immunity if he would with
his bow shoot an arrow through the
core of an apple placed on the head of
his boy. How tenderly are all the
preliminaries depicted, when he re-
fused to do it and carry his boy home
a corpse to his mother and how in
tense the interest became when the
apple was placed upon the head of the
boy and the arrows were handed him,
and then the climax, how we bent
forward with eager ear and tear
stained eye, what rapture gladdened
us when the arrow sped home to its
mark and split the apple in twain and
the boy rushed to his fathers
arms, how our young hearts
beat with the triumph OF
patriotism over oppression and
again, how indignant we were when
the concealed arrow dropped from
the vestment of Tell and Gesler re-
fused to give him his freedom and
asked him why he had concealed the
arrow, and Tell nobly answered:
ITO shoot thee, tyrant, had slain my boy"
The story of William Tell, as told
in the little drama, was the school of
American patriotism, the birthplace
of that love of country which has ami
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-10-20

mated so many to die triumphant on
the field of battle in their country's
defense. The story aroused the first
throb of patriotic emotion that has
made heroes of pillow boys and leaders
of armies of day laborers and Grim
soned with the blood of heroes a
thousand battle fields. How beauti.
full it was to our young imagination
how it prompted US to read the
simple story of the freedom Of
the Swiss cantons and the 'government
of the simple mcuntaineers of the
Swiss confederation. These rude and
unlettered people lived under re-
public secured by their valor and de.
Tended by the gigantic walls of Their
mountains when more civilized and
lettered nations acknowledged the
dogma of the divine right of kings to
rule, and they, too, were animated
and encouraged in their struggle for
freedom by the story of William Tell,
and they won it with the tocsin OF
his name echoing from every noun
tain and valley.
And now comes the veracious, the
practical truth telling historian, w.
D. McCracken, A. M, and with icono-
elastic hand skaters the patriotic and
beautiful story, decapitates William
Tell and relegates his myth to fables.
He says, after diligent search in all
the records of the cantons, no such
name as Tell can be found, and with
sigh of disappointment the Swiss
themselves admit that he was a my
biological character indebted for
existence to the imagination of the
poet.
What matters it whether he was
the child of the earth or the product
of genius. He has lived verify in
the hearts of thousands of the youths
of this land. He has served to give
them lesson of the love of country
that will never die and that will be be-.
queathed from sire to son along with
the pathetic story of his peasant life
defiant to tyrannical authority land the
story will serve the same purposes as
long as freedom has place "In the
land of the free and the home of the
brave"
The Greeks were a glorious nation
as long as Homer was read as history
and her sons worshiped the mytho-
logical heroes of Troy and they only
degraded from their primeval purity
when some iconoclast with rude hand
shattered the idols of their gods.

{" UNDER WHICH KING BEZONIAN?''

Without prepossession or prejudice,
without extravaganza eulogy or bitter
vituperation, as judge who has no
interest in the contest before him, as
conscientious citizens, loving the
state, the people of the state and the
prosperity of both, let us impartially
weigh the two men, James S. Hogg
and George Clark.
A lawyer of this city about eight
years ago, engaged in favorite occu-
patton of finding conflicting and in
consistent laws, suggested the con-
struction of statute to neighboring
lawyer, under which construction the
state might reclaim thousands
of acres of land, but while the
first lawyer gave it as his opinion
that the construction indicated was
erroneous, the second differed with
him. He bombarded governors, at
torney generals and editors in an at
tempt to get his construction before
the people, before the courts, but gov
ernors, attorney generals and editors
all said to him, mo, sir, we will not
lend our influence to invalidate titles to
land obtained honestly by the holders
through patents issued by the state.
Your construction may be correct, but
even If it is it would not be honest in
the state to stultify itself and cloud
titles throughout the state,
and anyhow legislature
would validate all these titles"
Refused cooperation he was in de.
spair, but he is pretty good judge of
human nature, and when he saw Jas.
s. Hogg he Rugged himself with secret
graduation. He untolded the scheme
to him and the alacrity with which
the attorney general bit at the hook

In Illinois the question has been
agitated as to how under the Austral-
an election system man can scratch
his ballot. 1t is proposed there that
the state executive committees of
both parties n eet and solve this ques-
ton so that there will be no confusion
about the count.
In this state we have before us a
question raised by an opinion of the
assistant attorney general of great
Importance. Why can we not settle
that question in the same way? Let
the executive committees of all the
parties in the field meet and settle the
matter. That would seem to be the
most satisfactory way, that is, pro-
vided the canvassing board agrees
with the assistant attorney general.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-10-20
astonished even the construction

astonished even the construction
lawyer.
Mr.. Hogg accepted the construction
that but one lawyer in the state
placed upon the law and proceeded TO
involve Texas in trouble. What did
it prove?. 1t proved that he was q
man of little judgment, but abound
ing in rashness and recklessness.
If he could have accomplished his
object it would have been of no beneht
to the state for the Legislature would
have validated every title he ripped
up. If he did not know this his nina
is not comprehensive enough to be
entrusted with the chief executive
office of the state. Do his subsequent
acts as governor prove the state
ment?
Did he have legal ability enough to
discover the imperfections and the I'M
policy of the alien land law? Was ne
able to frame a railroad commission
law with out a fatal constitutional
blunder, to which he gave his whole
mind?
Did he permit important acts, with
legal insufficiency in their very en-
acting clause to pass his scrutiny and
compel the expense of an extra ses-
sion of the legislature? The
records of the state OF Texas
answer these questions. Then it
must be concluded that he is
rash and careless, if not incompetent.
Does any man suppose that George
Clark wonld make any such plumbers,
either in policy or accuracy of execu-
ton? George. Clark has profound
and vigorous mind, equipped with the
best weapons of legal acumen, deeply
engrafted with the principles OF re-
publican government, penetrating and
cautious in inquiry and cool and de-
liberate in reasoning, and sagacious
in conclusion. Could such man
have been betrayed into blunder after
blunder, both in policy and the detail
of reducing to the practical and legal
any act of the legislature?
George Clark loves Texas more
than he does his own aspira-
rations. He,".knows how to pilot her
out of the rocks and quicksands
into which she has been driven by
the bold and reckless steering of
Governor Hogg. George Clark has
the brain and the power of will to
her PROSTATE form and give
1t vitality and activity, to nerve her
heart and arm with strength, to hew
her way through all difficulties and
win her position in the forefront Of
The sisterhood of states.
Give us this safe pilot, give us this
killful physician and we need not
despair, the waves will smooth and
he sailing become easy into the port
# peace and prosperity.

A MEXICAN lion has been frequent
ly seen in Calhoun and Victoria
counties on the lower Guadalupe bot
toms. This offels an opportunity for
Senator Whitaker to buy AN ele-
plant, write the two Bills-Pope and
Burgess-to accompany him, and hunt
down the lion on the back of the ele-
plant. That beast is very accommo-
dating and would doubtless carry a
jug of hunting refreshment with his
snout and hand it up when wanted.
1t all goes in hunting.

Health In Old Age.

reth's pills over five years ago. I
bought them in London, and have
continued using them since 1 came to
this country in 1886. am now over
rs years old, hale and herrty, and at
tribute my wonderful health to the
persistent use of Brandreth's pills.
Occasionally have bad cold or Sc
we're attack of rheumatism, indiges-
ton or biliousness, but four or five
doses of Brandreth's pills always cure
me. Whenever my children have
been sick with scarlet fever, measles,
acid stomach, disordered digestion or
costiveness, few doses of Brandreth's
pills restored their health at once.u

rains insure good crop of winter
grass.
The election draweth nigh, and
many of the dear candidates will be
knocked out before dinner by the
cruel people.
Everybody seems to be well skilled
in political economy, and many are
taking lessons in rascality.
Principles and good government
are often ignored, and men worship
man to their own destruction.
If there was ever time in the his
tory of Texas when men ought TO rise
above self and self-interest, setting
aside personal preferences, it is GER

The Minor Law Sustained,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE United
States supreme court, by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, today affirmed the judg-
ment of the Michigan supreme court
upholding the constitutionality of the
famous Minor law providing for the
election of presidential electors by
congressional districts instead of by
state as a whole. The court holds
that the fourteenth amendment did
not limit the right of a state to fix a
mode of choosing electors. The con-
coded effect of the decision is to give
part at least of the Michigan electoral
vote to Cleveland.
