Mr.. E. H. Clark, general superintend ent
for Macarthur Bros, is here ready TO
start on the new plant. 1t is
hoped that stakes will be set and
preliminary arrangements be made
on Monday Mr. Clark comes with no out
fit but EXPECTS to patronize our merchants
for all needed supplies. No men of any
kind will be brought from distance, but all
home labor win be utilized. They mean
business aud will push the work energeti-
cally The only thing that appears to
be in the way is the fact that
the test well is down only about
600 feet but as the conditions are
precisely the same as in all the other wells,
no doubt is entertained of the regular sup
ply being reached. The people are getting
inpatient for the work to commence, and
all hope that no obstacle will arise.

AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK.

The Houston Post has been crying
out for peace between the two wings
of Texas Democracy, but it's hypocris y
is demonstrated by an assault in a
recent issue on Col. George B. Zimpel l.
man of Austin, because that gentle
man stood squarely on the nations al
Democratic platform and advocated
the claims of George Clark for gov
ernor. The Post said:
1t is reported that Congressman
Sayers has announced that he will
support George b, Zimpelman for the
office of postmaster ct Austin. Zm-
pelman was an earnest and constant
personal political friend and supporter
of Judge Clark in the recent election,
and still stands with him in his ef-
forts to break up the Democratic party
and continue the war for q lifetime,
and Mr.. Sayers, If he reflects at all,
must know that he is directly aiding
and abetting the avowed enemies OF
the Democratic party in Texas, when
he gives his support to Mr.. Zimpel-
man. The senators from Texas will
be sure to see that no man is con-
tirmed by the senate who is in open
and avowed hostility to the Demo.
cratic party, nor indeed will Presi-
dent Cleveland be likely to nominate
such man. 1t is difficult to believe
that Congressman Sayers has COM
mitted himself as reported.
Colonel Zimpelman has been q
prominent figure in Texas politics for
many years, long before the editor Of
The Post set foot on Texas soil, and
no one has ever before thought of i'm.
pugning his Democracy, and thous.
ands Of lifelong Democrats who diff.
fered with Colonel ZiLlpeIman in the
late state compaign will brand the inn.
putation as utterly unjust.
The advice given by this valiant
writer for The Post to Hon. Jos. d
Sayers will have about as much
effect on that honorable gentleman al
q great deal more "disinterestedn
