OF Course for Hogg.

Special to The Statesman.
TYLER, May 21.-At the primaries
held throughout the county today to
elect delegates to Lampasas the
Hogg men dominated every precinct
heard from. At New Birmingham
the Clark men were badly beaten,
the Hogg men outnumbering them in
the ratio of twenty to one. At this
place the Hogg men captured every
thing. Out of 20 delegates selected only
one is straight out for Clark, four for
neither Hogg nor Clark, while Is are
enthusiastically for Hogg. The gov
ernor's friends are happy, although in
no sense surprised. There is no
shadow of doubt here but what Hogg
will sweep Cherokee in the July
primary.

BETWEEN granting pensions to all
the living soldiers of the late war and
building monuments to all the dead
ones, congress manages to keep it's
hands in the peoples pockets. In the
midst of the general depression, the
pension claims are allowed by the
thousand; and now there is bill be-
fore the house appropriating $50, 900 to
build monument to General Sher-
man. The country owes it to Col.
Kilgore that the bill did not pass.
How long he will be able to obstruct
it no one knows, but in all probability
it will eventually pass in spite of Col.
Kilgore and the other members whose
habit is to stand between the people
and public extravaganza.

the South has cause to be proud of her

An Important New York Labor Law.

ALBANY, N. Y, May Ex-Governor
Flower signed a very important bill

surface railroads of this state. The

have worked twenty-four hours to
again go on duty until they have had
at least eight hours rest. Ten hours

secutive hours shall constitutes days
work on all steam surface railroads.
The law shall not effect either the
mileage system or trips of regular
schedule trains completed in less
number of hours. For every hour
worked over ten the employees shall
get extra pay. Violations of this law
by corporation or employee is punish
able by $500 fine for each offense.
Cases of accident are excepted.

New ORLEANS, May 2l.-A daily
states, Washington special, says a
quiet consultation of the Hill followers
here today give reason to believe his
forces will be transferred to Flower.
Events of the past few days show that
there is necessity of some movement
to check the Cleveland boom. They
see no prospect of Hill's nomination
aud prefer to dictate the nomination
of his friend than to let an enemy get
control. They argue that Flower will
be stronger man than Cleveland in
New York, which must be carried
Hon. VIM. Sulser of the New York
legislature, an avowed Hill man, says
openly if Hill is not nominated, Flow
er will be the best man. There is a
preceptible growth of the Flower
boom recently and there is good rea-
son to believe the Hill influence will
be cast in his favor if the tide con-
tinues toward Cleveland.

county of the state did not indorse
rabid warfare on corporations and all
manner of enterprise-it was the ex-
preston of an intelligent and earnest
people bent on Turning Texas Loose"
to grow and prosper. The city was
not alone in this determination, for
the vote from the country pre-
cincts has borne out the city's
cry to this end. Never was
reversion of feeling in a county more
marked than this in Travis since two
years ago. Our county is in very
close touch with all the rest of the
state. AS the other counties have
suffered, we have groaned in spirit.
AS we rejoice in this victory 80 it is
hoped the cry ofjoy will be taken up
and passed all along the line. Travis
has done well-her example is an ex.
cellent one to follow.

SOu1,HERNERS IN NEW YORK.

The New York Journal of Finance
contains some interesting figures on
the Southern men who have taken
possession of literature, arts, sciences
and business in the North, and have
made honored names for themselves
in that country, where they had keen
competition with Northern men who
were on their native heath. When
the war was over and so many of the
Southern men went north, taking
with them their sole capital, brains
and energy, it could hardly have
been expected that their names
would. so soon be among the best
known in the land. On Wall street
their dictum carries weight with it,

lived in Denison and knew all those

AUSTIN WILL BE IN 1T.

A reading of the iron news In our
local columns this morning must give
unqualified satisfaction to all our peo-
ole. The establishment of a $500, 600
steel furnace and manufacturing plant
at Llano is as much a matter OF con-
graduation of Austin as OF Llano.
This is the entering wedge in the
growth and development Of that won
derful iron region, and rs 1T grows
Austin will receive infinite benefit
therefrom. Mr.. Eastman and the
gentlemen with him, who are con-
nected with that splendid journal, the
best manufacturing paper IL the
United States, the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record, claim that
Austin's great advantage will
be her close proximity to
the pig iron of Llano. Let our sister
in the west smelt iron ore with hun
dreds of furnaces and Austin with her
great water power, aided by cheap
fuel, will go into the iron Ranufactur-
ing business on colossal scale. All
the fuel that goes to Llano for smelt-
ing purposes and all the pig iron that
comes out of LlanO must pass through
Austin, and we will catch the cheap
fuel going and the cheap pig iron COM
ing and Austin's future is settled-a
glorious future. Read Mr.. Kastman's
interview and carefully digest it. He
is a gentleman advanced in years and
rich in experience in the iron bus-
mess, and what he says will
give you encouragement and
good cheer. Give Austin the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and
Arkansas Pass with her other rail-
roads and as distributing center she
will be unexcelled in this part of the
state. Here the pig iron and the man
ufactured goods of Llano will come,
and added to the iron manufactured
products of Austin they will from
here be sent all over Texas, the Union
and Mexico. With such neighbor
pouring riches and freight traffic into
our laps railroads will come knocking {
at our doors begging admission, man
ufactories will spring up all along our l
streets, the tin bucket brigade will
grow into the tens of thousands, work t
will be plentiful, our merchants will t
prosper and Austin will blossom like |

with our citizens in the cry of year
ago, "On to Llano!"

A POOR ROAD TO RECONCILIATION


The general conference of the Metho'
dist church (North) In session at
Omaha, Nebraska, has been fooling
with very active and very danger
GUS buzz saw. Just at this time, when
negotiations are pending looking to a
reunion of the northern and southern
branches of the great Methodist
church, it is somewhat ill-advised, to
say the least of it, for this general
conference to utter diatribes against
"the indignities and outrages put
upon the colored people in the south, +"
and to assert that the colored people
are treated shamefully on railway
trains and in hotels and in every way;
and that the law of the land is
trampled under foot by people who
despise the colored race. The temper
of the conference is shown by
the fact that the resolution
setting forth these facts was
adopted by a rising vote, and that
every member stood up. The ignor-
ance of the actual facts in
the case displayed in these as
sertions is indispensable in broad
gagged and progressive body, such as
that should be, and can but serve to
still further ALLEVIATE the Southern
Methodists, and to excite their ami
mostly. AS for the assertion thatthe
Southern negroes are shot down like
dogs, this Is sometimes true. The while
men of the South have fondness for
protecting their wives and daughters,
and any man, white or black, who in
suits or assaults a woman or girl in
this country knows very well that he
takes his life in his hands when he
does it, But that negro who obeys
the laws and is good citizen is not
treated well, as we'll as white men of
the same, character, is not true of
Texas, and we belive of the South
generally. We know the colored
people of this section will bear out
this statement.
