The Republican Platform.

The Republican platform is not an
insincere document. The bitter ele-
ments are sugar coated; but they are
not omitted from the compound.
The platform is, in other words,
distinctly a Harrison platform. There
is no Blaine juggling or Sinking or
lodging about it. With President
Harrison as a candidate and this plat
form under him, the people will know
what they have to vote on. That is
some satisfaction.
The platform boldly proclaims for
an exclusive tariff, military control of
elections by the Federal Government,
the bestowal of subsidies, the assump-
ton by theGovernment of the expenses
of the Chicago Fair, and the continu-
ance OF the present system of pensio ms
These things are stated emphemisti-
cally, of course; but they are quite
plainly and emphatically stated.
There is no doubt but they are main
purposes and principals of the Re-
publican party. The only straddle in
the document is on the silver ques.
ton. This is covered by an unmean-
ing generality. But it is of no conse-
quence; silver is in no sense an issue
between the parties, both being
internally divided on it.
We congratulate the Republican
delegates on their ~frankness. IfSthey
stick to it all through the campaign
they will save a lot of trouble explain
ing and defining. The Democracy is
quite ready to meet them on the is
sues they raise, We believe the people
will snow them out Of sight, as they
did in 1890. tef .-'

mo PATERNALLSM IN TEXAS.

NO PAIERNALISM In 1EAAS.
The reported effort to disfranchise
Republican counties in Pennsylvania
by collision between politicians and
the public printer, whether true or not
demonstrates the danger of pattern
alism. Democratic statesmen in
Texas recognized this danger when
they adopted our present constitution
and inserted a clause requiring that
public printing be done by contract.
This provision was shamefully abused
by alleged statesmen masquerading
as Democrats, and a large paternal
printing office was built up in Austin
and many thousands of the peoples
big, round dollars were taken
out of the treasury and squandered
therein The last four years of its
wrongful e4istence was while Gov
ernor Hogg was member of the
printing board. On page 127 Of the
last report of the board the statement
is made that SIS, 800 were drawn from
the state treasury to exc out b. print
ing fund. But the legitimate
printers kept up their fight against
the illegal concern until by the as
sistance of the legislature it was
ordered that the provisions of the
state constitution be observed, and
now very nearly all of the printing the
state pays for is done by con.
tract. 1t was nice paternal scheme,
and had not Democrats stepped in and
spoiled 1t Texas might soon have been
enjoying typical Diaz government

Of Interest to Athlstes.

says:
81 have found it imperative to have
sure and simple remedies on hand in
case of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains,
colds, rheumatism, etc. Shortly after
entering my profession discovered
such a remedy in Allcock's Porus
Plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating. Allcock's Porus Plast-
ers give almost instantaneous relief,
and their strengthening power is re-
markable. In cases of weak back put
two plasters on the small of the back
and in short time you will be capa.
BILE of vuite severe exercise. In sprint
and distance runs and jumping the
muscles or tendons in the legs and
feet sometime weaken. This can in
variably be relieved by cutting the
plaster in narrow strips so as to give
free motion and applying on muscles

DETECTION OF MR.. CURTIS.

The mugwump Geo. T. Curtis has
announced his intention to vote
against Mr.. Cleveland because he is a
free trader.
Mr.. Curtis being the only deserter
arouses an inquiry as to his reasons,
and they are stated. How Mr.. Curtis
can conclude that Mr.. Cleveland in
his letter of acceptance or in the plat
form of his party is free trader is
very problematic. The platform and
Mr.. Cleveland himself virtually adj
init that free trade is impossible and
tariff for revenue, collected at the re-
ceipt of customs, with incidental pro-
lection, is all that is claimed as
necessary reform. Some people think
they scent free trade in the natural
conclusion Of measures of reform and
a few of the Democratic papers only
advocate free trade, nota oily that very
ably edited paper the Chicago Herald,
but these are only incidents to the
campaign that give it spice and prove
the adverse by the rule of exception.
The tariff is such monster of hide.
GUS mein that no one need be uneasy
about the reformation of the brute, to
make him presentable he will have to
be cast in a different mould, butno
party holding power would dare to do
that would disturb the bus
mess relations of the country or re-
duce the wages of the manufacturing
operatives.
These two ideas are kept promi-
nently in front by the Democratic par
ty and Mr.. Cleveland is not the man
to pledge himself to the protection of
of these main objects and go back on
them.

country of ours, but the query some
times presents itself, Are not the
young people of our society given too
much to make light, light heads some
times, of taking wine at entertain
ments? Is not the punch bowl be-
coming too popular? Let US be
mindful to keep cur social enjoy .nents
under sufficient restraint as to create
no apprehension in the minds OF
elderly persons that they, the young,
are in any danger. If women would
preserve this loyalty to them of
Southern men let them be careful not
to give them shadow of
suspicion that young lady would
use wine in excess of the mere
courtesy of touching the glass with
her lips in response to the toast. AS a
matter of fact it is safer and assures
greater respect for her ito touch not,
taste not, handle not the unclean
thing" And let her remember, too,
even if she is careless of her own high
selfrespect, that she may seal the
destiny of some young man who has
stronger Temptations than she has,
and less power to resist. Teetotalism
is not moral necessity in society, but
undoubted ability to restrain ones self
to the proper limit is an absolute ne
cessity to responsibility as well as
morality.
May society in this country never
initiate in this respect English So
ciety is the fervent wish of all men
who respect their mothers and sisters
and are proud of the entire female

DISSIPATED ENGLISH LADIES.

1t seems that earnest moral people
in England are very much concerned
about the "drink habit" of some OF
the most estimable ladies in the land.
Lady Cavendish declares she had
lately been guest at country man.
sion where the boosting chairs in the
dining room were deeply curved to
prevent the gentlemen from falling on
the floor after dinner, had been monop
lized by the lady guests. She says
the ladies have recourse to "pick me
ups" at II a. m. and brandy and soda
during the day.
She also said that a physician hav-
ing large practice among the ladies OF
uppertendom had assured her that
many ladies leading idle lives had
called him in to consult him upon
their nervous condition, when,
although perhaps unconsciously on
their part, they were suffering with
alcoholism and bordering on de-
lirium tremens, and that alcohol was
not their only dissipation but that
they were addicted to cloral, corodine
and morphia in private. This state
ment is confirmed by the Duchess OF
Bedford, the wife of Archbishop Ben
son, Sir William Herschell, the Dean
of Rochester and others.
This is sad condition of affairs in
English society. We are too prima-
tive in our habits in this country to
be compelled to acknowledge such
habits existing with the mothers of our
people, and it is to be hoped we will
never advance to such a degree of re-
finement (?) If there is one thing a
loyal and true hearted American is
proud of it is the purity and modesty
OF our women, especially is it the case
in this land of flowers, this Southern

and the second is that deliberative
body of that size, if each man exer-
cised the same extent of influence on
legislation and earned his salary, is
too cumbrous and unwieldy for the
transaction of business and is more
like convention formulating party
tactics than a deliberative body ma
turing laws to govern the people.
The necessity of economy in nation
of working people is self evident, and
the payment of large salaries to party
figureheads is very obnoxious to the
citizen who is struggling to feed,
clothe and educate his family. We
have no use for half the members OF
cong ress. Half OF the present
number would transact business
more expeditiously and the
laws passed would be more
wisely considered. Notwithstanding
Solomon said "There is wisdom in the
multitude of counsel" the congress OF
the United States daily demonstrates
it's fallacy. These two objections are
main, pertinent and radical. The
fact that England has more members
in the house of commons than can OBJ
tain seats in the hall is no reason why
we should, for there is no pandemo-
mum this side of the Houston conven-
ton equal to the mob that assemblies
is Westminster Hall. Not half OF
them ever attend. Only under the
party whip upon an important divis-
ion do they have a full house, and
then it is a jam, one-half standing
and the other crowded on benches.
This is not new but very inter-
esting question. Not new for it has
the honor of being one upon which
Washington signed the first veto,
but it is question that will force its
consideration upon the people OF this
country. In this connection Texas
will be called upon in the near future
to take some action on the ratio of her
house of representatives as the pres
ent house is already too cumbrous and
and unless restricted by
wise action will grow much larger.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-10-13
THE RATIO OF REPRESENTATION.

THE RATIO or REPRESENTATION.
The proposition to amend the con-
stitution so as to limit the ratio of rep
resentation in the house of represen-
tatives of American congress is re-
ceiving the calm thought of deliberate
minds.
The constitution does not limit the
number of members except in the re-.
strictive clause that provides that ii
shall not exceed more than one mem.
Der for thirty thousand inhabitants
and that each state shall have one
member. Under this clause congress
could be limited to one member from
each state or if there was one member
for every thirty thousand inhabitants
we would under the provisions OF the
constitution have house of represent
atives of two thousand members. Il he
restriction of one to each state would
undoubtedly be wiser than to break the
present limit and have house with
two thousand members or any num-
Der exceeding the present number in
the House.
As the districts are at present di-
vided the smallest district is that of
the Tenth of Pennsylvania, composed
of one county with an area of a thous-
and square miles, and the largest dis
trict is the Eleventh district of Texas,
containing ninety-seven counties and
10000 square miles. The other dis
tricts vary very much, none exclud-
ing the cities, are as large in area as
the former and none approximatipg
the latter in area.
Our present house of representa-
tivesis composed of 1855 members, while
the house of commons in England
has upon its rolls $40 members. Both
the houses are too large. In the first
place very few members have any
control of legislation for especially in
our congress all business is formulated
by committees and the voting
members follow their political bell.
wether with the unerring instinct of a
flock of sheep. There are two reasons
for.objection even to the present ratio
The first is on the ground of economy

ably edited and the arguments in ia.

iously made. And yet Governor
Hogg totally repudiates them, declar-
ing he is making the race against all

REPUBLICAN TRICKS IN INDIANA
The Republicans have become SO
uneasy about the electoral vote of In
diana that they are attempting to OBJ
tain from the supreme court of that
state a decree setting aside the legis.
lative apportionment of 1885, and
thereby invalidate the laws passed by
the Democratic legislature of 1889.
Among them was the Australian
private ballot system.
The Indianapolis Journal, Harri-
sons home organ, says that the pri-
vate ballot lost the Republicans votes
in 1890, and merely to effect political
purposes the Republicans are trying
to throw the statutes of Indiana into
inextricable confusion by declaring
the legislature of 1889, elected under
the apportionment of 1885, illegal and
void.
In other words they are willing to
make every decision of their courts a
nullity for nearly ten years, and pro.
duce Confusion worse confoundedn in
order that they may gain few votes
by open ballot; or by the system OF
bribery and corruption that the Aus.
trailian law was adopted to cure.
This indeed is a strong evidence Of
the fact that under a fair election,
Indiana will go for Cleveland and
Stevenson.
