| What Happened TO Miss Rogers Dog When
lie visited the Young Barbers.
A little colored boy lives near us. His
name is Ebenezer Ge.y Spratt. and we
all call him Ebon for snort. Papa says
it's good name for him.
His father owns shaving-shop. and
it has a great big stick painted all colors
outside the door. He cuts my hair and
my papa's whiskers, and when I'm big
I'm going TO let him cut my whisSers.
Ebon is very good boy, and comes
over 10 our house to play with me. He's
better than | am, cause sometimes
get mad; but guess his mother thinks
m pretty good. for she always lets him
come.
Sometimes we quarrel. The other day
said: Lets play we had shaving
shop like your fathers, and you and me
can be the shayeIs.n
He laughed so hard he had to roll
around on the grass and kick up his heels.
and when didn't like being laughed
at, he said; ''Taint a shaving-shop;
its a barber-shop But you're little
Teller, and don't know any better,
'spose.r
That made me mad, so ! said: "If
I'm little Teller you're one. too, Ebon
Spratt! You're bigger'n me up and
down, but I'm lots bigger sideways than
you are-so."
BY and by / got over being mad
enough so that we could play. but
said should call it shaving-shop and
he could call it barber-shop, and
when my papa got home was going to
ask him.
We got a chair, and Ann let us take
an old apron to put over the people
who came to get their hair cut. and !
got a pair of scissors and cup of soap
and water, and then we didn't have
anybody to shave; but Just as | was
going to let Ebon try me, Miss Rogers
dog came in.
Miss Rogers is visiting next door, and
her dog is al title bit of thing, and all
covered with hair. His bang is SO long
his eyes are most covered up.
'-Oh my" says Ebon, there's a gem
perlum that needs it badl walk right
in, sab, glad to see you's feelin 50
WE'LL
And doggy wagged his tail and was
just as good as could be, and he cut his
bang beautiful. and then said to Ebon:
Lets cut his hair all off, he must be
awful warm. | feel lots better when
mine is cut" So we did.
Somehow he looked funnier when he
was all done than he did with his hair
on, and we thought he looked queer
then.
Miss Bogers came in with him right
after supper.
When she took the shawl off and said:
Look at the poor little darlingl' my
papa got to coughing like anything and
had 70 60 out Of the room, and mamma
said to Fred; go quick and get your
father some water"
My mamma was real nice to Miss |
Rogers, and got her to feeling some bet
ter, but she talked good deal to me
that night.

PRESCRIPTION.

According to correspondent of the
Dallas News, the citizens of Terrell
are very much excited and very indig-
nant over the discharge of several Off
eials of the lunatic asylum at that
place on account OF their independent
action in voting for Judge Clark. DR..
Preston was interviewed by the re-
porter and admitted the men were
discharged on account of offensive
partisanship," very convenient
phrase, but it is fair to DR.. Preston to
say that he claims there were other
reasons, which he declined to give. 1t
Ia quite evident from the report that
partisan feeling was very much atthe
bottom of the whole thing. This is
unfortunate for Texas. Some men
don't seem to know when fight is
over. This is a poor way to pacify the
conflicting elements of the Democratic
party in Texas. Indiscreet and vic.
lent partisans do away with much of
the good accomplished by conserva-
tive and just men. DR.. Preston is
well known in this city and has been
thought very highly Of by this people.
1t was not supposed that he would
permit the violence Of partisanship to
run away with his judgment
80 far as to use his official position
to deprive men of a living on account
of their exercising their free and I'M.
trameled privilege of voting according
to their independent belief and opin-
ion. This is a style of prescription
that tends to enslave freemen and the
man or men who indulge in it are
doing violence to a bed rock rooted
sense of Justice.

SENATE EAUCUS.

The leading Democrats in the Sem
ate are moving cautiously. In caucus
they have determined not to attempt
the reorganization of the Senate in the
name of the Democratic party unless
they can muster clear caucus ma
jority with assured power to control
legislation in that body, and for this
purpose they must have forty-tive
members pledged to the action OF the
caucus.
Senator PETER has signified his
willingness to cooperate with
the Democrats, but the caucus has
wisely determined to take no risks
and there must be complete submits
sion to caucus dictation by every MEM
Der entering the caucus with no COM
promises or half measures.
There is some disappointment in
the complexion of several of the legis-
latures of the Western states where
the Peoples party united in
a canvass with the Democrats.
They were pledged to return
Democratic senators and now are at
tempting after receiving the goods, to
wiggle out of the contract.
Unless these misunderstanding are
adjusted there is no certainty that
there will be forty'five Democratic
enators in the next congress, and
without the full power to control both
branches of congress it would be fatile
to attempt to inaugurate radical
changes in the revenue laws of the
country.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-12-15

one of them complained that his con-
gregation had experienced but little
of his charity. This, to say the least,
was very bad taste, and certainly
must have been offensive to number
of their hearers who had been bene-
fitted by his blindness. Especially
was it rude and unfeelipg towards his
children. They ought to have been
permitted to mourn over his remains
undisturbed by such epithets at least
until their father was decently in
tered.

USE OF CONVICT LABOR.

Missouri is about to eliminate the
impediments OF state convict competi.
ton by using the convicts for build
ing macadamized roads in each town.
ship.
The governor elect has given some
attention to the subject and says that
two macadamized roads fourteen feet
wide and traversing the township
from north to south and from east to
west, just twelve miles long each,
could be built with convict labor for
$500, COO. 1t is good idea but we are
quite certain our county judge and
commissioners could teachhim an eco
nomic lesson on the cost of these roads.
Missouri has the advantage of more
superior political division than we
have, square townships, that would
simplify the work. Notwithstanding
that Texas could very easily establish
by survey these roads, and especially
in this tier of counties where we have
so much of the best stone for the pur-
pose, build very inexpensively. The
greatest cost would be the transporta-
ton, and that would be at minimum
in Travis and adjoining counties.
Goods roads are very important.
Why can't some of our enterprising
citizens take hold of this thing and
work it up into success by urging it
upon the next legislature?

THE ANTTOPTTON BILL.

1t is quite apparent that the anti
option bill will never become law.
A substitute has been offered in the
senate, and if that passes, when it
goes back to the house it will be
decently inferred in the pigeon hole
of desk in some committee room.
A great reaction of opinion on this
subject has taken place since the last
session of congress. Many farmers
who favored it then are convinced
that it is prejudicial to their
interest, and have petitioned con-
gress to defeat the measure. The
only men whom the bill would
benefit are the cotton buyers, but isit

HOUSTON, Dec Son March 81 last,
Walter E. Shaw, young lawyer,
went home drunk and cut the throats
of his mother and aunt, Mrs. Johnson,
school teacher, robbed the premises
and fled to Galveston, where he was
apprehended. On examining trial
he wrote out a confession, plead guilty
before the district court, but with.
drew the plea and went to trial. He
was found guilty with death penalty,
but took an appeal and was granted a
new trial which began today. Shaw's
motion for continuance was overruled.
Out of venire of sixty only four
jurors were obtained, and special

crime was most diabolical and when
arrested Shaw asked the spectators in

The Waco News says the AUSTIN
STATESMAN seems to be sailing with
out chart, compass or rudder. The
man who says that has not sense
enough to know what chart, COM
pass or rudder is, on the other hand
the Galveston News takes THE
STATESMAN as an illustration of a
newspaper too fixed in certain party
traditions to properly appreciate the
mutability of governmental policy
the criticism of the Galveston News
may be just for The STATESMAN ad-
mits it is controlled very much by a
set of fixed principles that have been
endorsed by such men as Jefferson,
Tilden and Cleveland. If the Waco
News will read and try to understand
the editorials of The STATESMAN it
may be enabled to give little weight
to its own editorial columns, but it is
impossible to give the Waco News the
ability to understand fixed principles.
But we will not ask The News to leave
