The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-05-18

The Republican party has always
displayed the greatest ingenuity in
proposing new issues upon which to
perpetuate its existence as a great
political party, but nothing shows its
adaptahility to circumstances more
than the proposition made in the first
days session of the convention of that
party at Louisville, than that of the
advocacy of universal suffrage, or
rather woman suffrage. Heretofore
issues were needed az it has been
supposed that the functions of the
party became "functus officion with
its plan of reconstruction and now it
is recognized that the greatest need of
the party is in that one plural noun,
voters. If they can't in some way
manufacture voters out of an element
that has heretofore been silent at the

The Csmpania Lowers the Ocean Record
for the Eastbound Passage.
QUEENSTOWN, May 12.-The new
Cunard line steamship Campanla,.
Captain Haires, which sailed from
New York for Liverpool on May 8,
arrived at Queenstown at $50 this
morning, having made the passage,
from Sandy Hook to Queenstown, the
quickest passage eastward yet made
by any steamer. The passengers
cheered enthusiastically upon coming
into tbs harbor and the crew of the
Campania showed much jubilation over
their. victory. The best previous rec
ord eastward was that of the Ameri-
can line New York in August last and
was days, 10 honrs and 81 minutes,
as against the Comp MAS days II
hours and AZ minutes. The Compa-
MIA and Paris left New York the same
hour. The latter was passed 1908
miles east of Handy Hook and the
Compauia did not sight the Paris
ag ain during the voyage to Queens
town, although the ocean track f,om
Southampton does not diverge from
that OF Queenstown for 1900 miles.

.SACRLEICE Art 10 PURITY.

The San Antonio Express expresses
its emphatic condemnation as it
Contemplates the nude statuary so os
tentatiously forced upon the public
observation at the Chicago exposition
as described by correspondent. The
correspondent from Chicago says, in
speaking of male statutes or paint
ings, "not a detail of which has es.
capped the loving care" of the artist,
and significantly adds, "a much
severer test OF the patience of the
Western people will come when the
art palace is opened" The Express
in deprecating this unseemly intrusion
OF all the details of art in the male
figure, very properly says, there is a
wide distinction Fetween the mndesty
of the nude in the female and in the
opposite sex That is true, and while
tho Nenuses and Clytes are exquisite
and modest as maidens thoughts,
virility exhibited in the LAGOON
would shock the mOdesty of any au-
dience forced by the bad taste of the
exhibitors and the pressure of the
crowd to be spectators of such lewd
ness.
The love of art, as illustrated in the
human form divine, elevates and Gu.
mobiles, but the exhibitors at Chicago
must remember that there is broad
distinction between the beauti-
ful clothed with the chaste aud the
slightest manifestation of lewdness
in any painting or sculpture.
1t is certainly to be hoped that art
like Godiva, the wife of the rude earl &,
as it stands in prominent places where
America in vites the world to contem-
plate its purity will be "clothed on
with chastity" for otherwise taste
Will be cultivated that will not only
break the delicate bounds of observa-
ton and criticism, but that will strike
deeper and open the tloodgates of i'm.
morality and evil desire such as dis
tinguished and stigmatized Pompeii,
that city of Campania, which was en-
quilted in the hot lava of retributive
justice. We, as a people, are begin.
ming to love art with discriminating
culture, but we love virtue more, and
it, in order to cultivate high art, vir-
tue is to be scarleted with shame,
then let art pass from the vision pure
in thought, word and deed. Rather
let the Grecsn lines of beauty be for
gotten and the marble lie buried deep
beneath the quarries of Penteles
than that the mantling of the bosom
of maiden loveliness and maiden
purity shall be torn away and all that
is modest in this world be befouled by
the rapacious touch of corrupted
Angelo or Phidias. Rather let those
we love be ignorant of art than Igno-
rant of shame.

THE GEM or THE ANTILLES.

The little gem of the ocean, TO
which there has been such fillibuste
longing in the United states for many
years, seems about to accomplish he
own independence against the army
and navy of spain. Cuba is utterly
worn out and tired Wit furnishing al
effete monarchy with means for it,
perpetuity, and the indulgence of it:
eXtrav CANT tastes, and wants to sci
up ,vernment Of its own. The
| CUBAN patriots haN gone about it in
the right way. They intend to demon.
strate their ability TO throw off their
yoke 81 Spain, maintain de tacto
government, aud then apply for po-
litical affiliations with the nearest
neighbor, the republic of North
America.
Now, while we are not hankering
especially after Hawaii and its semi.
civilized population as an independent
and sovereign state of this union, the
matter of the acquisition of the "Gem
af the Antilles" is another question.
Cuba has very different and distinct
kind of population to that of the Sand.
witch islands. The best blood of the
chivalry of CASTLE flows through the
veins of the Cuban. The population of
Cuba is intelligent, active and
progressive and worthy of an equal
citizen ship with the people of this
country. But there are other FREEDOM
inant considerations, the agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial
wealth of Cuba cannot be lightly re-
garded nor is its locality to be ig-
nored.
Cuba is the key to the gulf of Mex.
ico-the Gibralter of the Caribbean
sea-and the "point de appui'' of the
outlet and inlet, the export and i'm.
port trade of the great valley of the
Mississippi and the cultivated plains
of Texas. We cannot afford to let
Cuba pass under any other influence
than that of the United States. The
revolution in Cuba will be watched
with more interest in this country
than any other political event save
the election of Mr.. Cleveland for the
last quarter of century, and those
who are acquainted with the history
of its expressions will hope the result
Will be beneficial to Cuba and to this
country, in the independence of the
former and its final acquisition by the
latter.

high courts of Texas are so over
whelmed with business that it re.
quires that the Legislature shall in
crease the courts of civil appeals
from three to five, for these courts to
have their efficiency in the way of a
ready dispatch of business lessened
by cutting off clerks so absolutely es'
sential seems indeed foolish policy
But Our-obiection 10 this extend:
not only to the impolicy Of the act,
but to the power of the governor to
thus cut off these clerks. At the
special session Of the Twenty.secUnd
legislature the whole judicial system
of Texas was revised. The legisla-
ture then said in chapter ID,
section 81: Each court OF
civil appeals shall appoint one ste4o
grapheru who "shall receive salary
of $1,000 per annum" This is impe-
riative, and this law the governor
signed and it has not been repealed.
Can the governor now override this
law and virtually repeal il by thus
cutting out the appropriation for these
clerks, and in 50 doing abolish their
office? We understand how gov
ernor can help the Legislature say
what the law shall be- in the future,
but we had thought that only some
court of competent jurisdiction could
declare an existing law null and void.
We think that in this the governor
has exceeded his authority and done
an injustice to the courts by inn eding
their efficiency, an injustice to these
clerks whose positions are assured
them by law and further injustice
to them by cutting them out of their
which they have well earned
during the past two months and
" hich under this veto they cannot
now be paid-at least until future leg
slatures may conclude to give it to
hem.

THE APPROPRIAT ION BILL VETO

The closing hour OF the Twenty
third Legislature was signalized by
the reception of veto of some
$3.50, 600 in the appropriation bill-a
measure that was under consideration
for fully two months in the respective
branches and one that had received
more attention than any other Hill
that was passed. The governor as
signs for the reason OF his veto that n
deficiency was inevitable and he
wished to make 1t as small as posi-
lie. Now it was "A matter known as
well to the Twenty-third legislature

well afforded to let the legislature

necessity for their requ ISIS is evidenc,

granted them.
There is one place, however, where
we think in addition to the impolicy
and injustice of such veto as above
stated, the governor made fatal mis-
take, and that is il cutting of
the stenographic clerks of the
higher courts. While the
