Pres. Harrison's Letter Producing an
Unpleasant Impression Upon the Press.
Boston, Sept. Z. The papers COM
ment on President Harrison's letter of
acceptance as follows:
The Globe, (democrat): President
Harrison's letter is long lethal docu-
ment, not by any manner of means
that "Clarion cal" which his admirers
assured us would arouse enthusiasm
and hope in the ranks Of the Republi-
can party.
The Herald independently: The letter
is assailable at many points and, taken
as whole, will not add to its authors
reputation as statesman. Mr.. Harri-
son can make a very good speech as
lie did at Plattsburg the other day but
when he takes to written expression he
is distinctly inferior to his Democratic
opponent.
The Journal, republican): President
Harrison is master of the art of clear
and forcible statement, whether in
speaking Oh writing, and he has rarely
used this power to better advantage
than in this letter, in which without
concealment or equivocation at any
point, and with the freedom of man
who has convictions and is not afraid
to express them, lie discusses the issues
of the present campaign.
The Post, (democrat): Mr.. Harrison's
letter of acceptance is very fair com
bination of the statements, arguments,
apologies and evasions which Mr.. Reid
and his assistants have produced from
time to time in the columns of the New
York Tribune. 1t has in it nothing of
originality and nothing Of force.

bled at the Opera House last night to
see the Calef Comedy Co. in the beau

tive the play is a good one, replete
with startling situations, beginning
with merriment and pathos, pleasing
and instructive. Miss Calef fairly cap.

THE MORAL is PLAIN.

There is an old story for which it is
possible that present application
may be found: "A certain monk who
was making 4 journey from the city
where he lived met a formidable-look-
ing parsonage on the road and the two
stopped to rest and to talk. The for
Misunderstanding parsonage told the
monk that he was the Plague, that he
was on his way to the city and that
while there.he was minded to kill 20,-
600 persons. The monk pleaded for
the lives Of his townsmen and with
such eloquence that his grim COM
panion was moved land promised that
he would kill only 10000. While the
monk was yet away from home news
came to him that a plague had fallen
upon the city and that 10000 persons
had died. AS he was making his jour-
ney back to the city he met his former
acquaintance leaving it and upbraided
him for breaking his word Il kept my
word to you faithfully. the other re-

Of the Martinsburg WORLD. a copy
generally is there every day and its
enterprising editor has some good
news in it. But the WoRLD's editor
certainly deserves the title Of might
mare editor when he publishes news
Of financial institutions, with which
he is not connected.) Endowment

The Middle States Loan Co., Of this

A MAIL reporter ut once took j. Al.
Mason, Esq, attorney for the associa-
ton, the paper, and as soon as he read
the article, he said:
"The reason the loan was not made
was simply because the security offer
ed was not good. The local board Of
.Martinsburg. consisting Of several Of
the most reputable citizens Of that
place did not recommend the loan,
and no one is going to lend money
when the security is not good. Sever

INDIAN SKELETONS.
USEARTHEU AT THE BREAK On
TIE {. & 0. CANAL.
POTTERY AND a CLAY PIPE FOUND
WAS THIS An INDIAN BUlly-
ING GRoUND?

ING GROUND2
A correspondent Of the Hagerstown
Ners writes as follows in reference to
the finding Of skeletons along the ca
nal: ION Tuesday, August 30th,
whilst Messrs. Irwin, Thomas Renner,
Sam'l Fry and Peter Nose, of Sharps-
burg, we're working at the break on
the C. & o. Canal at the aqueduct, 3
miles south Of this place, and whilst
digging in the burn bank, they un-
earthed Ave human skeletons Of enor-
nous size. The bones were in good
state of preservation At the head Of
one of the skeletons was clay pipe
and small vessel Of pottery which
crumbled to pieces on being exposed
to the air. The craniums were very
long and narrow, the teeth were very
white and solid. On Wednesday your
correspondent visited the spot and
whilst exploring the bank, came upon
the leg and arm bone of another skele-
ton buried about three feetin the earth.
The bones were of usual length. Short
ly after one of the workmen unearth-
ed another form, making seven in all.
A copper penny Of 1880 was found in
the bank. A quantity of fragments
of pottery were also found, indicating
that this was an ancient Indian burial
ground. The place where the skele-
tons we're found was right at the con-
fiuence of the Potomas river and An
tietam creek. Mr.. Van S. Brashcars
Of this place, informs us that years
lago, when they were digging the basin
in the coke yard belonging to Antie-
tam Iron Works, and adjacent to this
spot, a quantity Of hnman bones, pot
terry, arrow and spear points and pipes
were exhumed.
| Tradition informs us that most
bloody battle occurred at this point
between the Catawba and Delaware
tribes of Indians some time during
the years Of 1884 and 1876. The cir
cumstances are as follows: The Della
ware Indians who inhabited this part
of the country went on visit to the
Catawba tribe, who lived in South
i -l Il.
Carolina, and while there committed
some fragrant wrongs upon this tribe,
whereupon the exaspirated Catawbas
followed the Delawares, overlook them
at the coke yard, gave them battle,
and succeeded in killing all but one
Delaware who escaped to the noun
tains, but he was followed, overtaken
near Chambersburg, Pa, killed and
his scalp brought back. Prof. NJ. A.
Spessard, well-known gentleman Of
this county, and principal of the
Blacksburg Academy, at Blacksburg
South Carolina, informs me that there
| is small remnant Of the Catawba
tribe Of Indians living near that place.
In view of all these facts would
conclude that these skeletons belong
ed to the Delaware or Catawba Tribe
of Indians who were killed in this bat,
tie.

this commission, having found that it
is impracticable for the Texas and New

railways, so INSTRUCTED by the action
of the International and Great North

part the rates prescribed in the said

that until further notice the Texas and
New Orleans and Sabine and East

fication by the international and Great
Northern and Gulf, Colorado and Santa

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-09-08

unavoidable on the part of tho major
Ivy: The minority, differing with the
majority upon questions of state policy,
were determined to dominate drule
or destroy the organizatiGr If the
party. The issues ale not changed
from those presented before the hold
ing OF the convention. The address of
the boilers shows clearly their mani
lest determination to press upon the
people some of the questions which
nave been settled in the party by the
action of the Democracy of the state
IN It's primary conventions.
The platform enunciation upon is
sues OF national import is merely q
PRONUNCIATION of Democratic senti.
ment in Texas on such questions, and
intended alone to have the force of a
declaration of views within the party
organizations; while it's declaration
upon matters of state policy are the
vital issues involved in the election of
state officers, and the public mind
should not be diverted from them by
any effort on the part of the boilers to
get away from the issue of reasonable
and effective regulation of corpora
tions in Texas.
1t should not be forgotten that the
meeting at Turner hall, which put
Judge Clark in nomination for the
office of governor of the state and
which nominated his associates for the
other state offices, hasnever yet made
known to the public the number of
counties represented in that meeting,
nor the number of delegates appointed
from the several counties, who partici-
pated in making these nominations, in
order, no doubt, that it's representa-
tive character SHOULD not be known to
the public.
The fact that, on the vote of the
convention for governor, Hogg re-
ceived 697 votes, while Clark received
1903, there being seven scattering
votes and few counties not repre-
sented, may furnish the reason why
the Turner hall meeting withheld
from the public all information as to
how that meeting was constituted.
1t is necessary principle in our
free popular system of government,
that the voice of the majority in politi-
cal matters should express the will of
the whole. And this principle is as
essential to the success of the princi-
Piles of political parties as to the main
tenance of our system of government.
A failure to recognize and accept this
great principle would, under our
system of government, certainly lead
to revolution, anarchy and chaos.
If the Democracy of Texas should
tolerate such bolt as that made by
Judge Clark following in the footsteps
of William Malone of Virginia, it's or
ganized power, efficiency and useful
ness would be destroy ed; and it could
no longer maintain and enforce the
great and beneficial principles on
which it was founded.

Headache and Dyspepsia.

William e. Rockwell, No. 512 West
9th street, New York, says:
L have been o martyr to bilious
headache and dyspepsia. Any indis-
erection in diet, overfatigue or cold,
brings on fit of indigestion, followed
by headache lasting two or three
days at time. think l must have
tried over twenty different remedies,
which were recommended as certain
cures by loving friends, but it was no
use. At last / thought would take
simple course of purgation with Bran
dreth's Pills. For the first week
took two pills every night, then one
pill for thirty nights; In that time /
gained three pounds in weight, and

SINCE"
Disease in one part of the body will
eventually fill the whole body with
disease. Every year or two some part,
of the system grows weak and begins
to decay. Such part should be re-
moved at once, and new matter be
allowed to take its place. There's no
need of cutting 1t out with a surgeons
scalpel. Purge away the old, diseased
and wornout parts with Brandreth's
Pills.
