ENTERTAINMENT or ROYALTY.
Are we not going it little fast for
a Democratic administration of plain
Republican government? 1t is stated
that we have already spent 100000
in the entertainment of the officers of
foreign fleets, and that we are con-
tinuing to throw out our American
dollars at the rate of $4,000 daily in
entertaining the Grand Duke of Rus
STA and the Infanta of Spain. Some
of us have to work hard for that
money, and while we take a great
deal of pride and all that in sustain
ing our national reputation for court
esy, we do indeed think it is little
hard on the man who has to drive a
plane or pillow all day in the sun and
dine on "bacon and green's" to con-
tribute part of that days work for
birds on toast and champagne on ice
for our royal visitors. Do they ever
shell out that way whenever any of
us go over there? No indeed you
are never invited even to lunch
with them. You never see the inside
of their palaces unless some impecun-
iOus rOyalist keeps show place, and
"you pays your money" every time
you enter.
1t is all very well for dukes and
princes and Iniantas and Infantees TO
be fed on terrapin and old port at
home, for their people have made
Them ornamental and q part of tb cir
government; but we are not bound
even by courtesy to extend the same
distinction to them when they strike
American soil. Our opinion is that
these entertainments are the shoddiest
kind of business, and that the money
spent on them is illegally spent. 1t
is money paid by hard workingmen
to support the government and sus.
Jain its dignity, but this thing is GO
ing little too far, and the people will
enter their protest through their
newspapers. The STATESMAN enters
his as protest No. /. Give an enter
5ainment to foreign representatives
when they come here, but let that be
AL Let them pay their own way.
They are much more able to pay for
themselves than we are willing to pay
or them.

Visiting Boston.

Senator Davis tells a good story on
himself. He once started for Boston
to see the place and hunt up the his
toric localities, but when he reached
the Hub it was hot weather. 1t was
unusually warm, even for midsum-
mer, and Mr.. Davis went over to
Young's hotel and secured a room,
Then he went out to the nearest
book store, purchased copy of Virgil
and returned to his quarters. For
the next four days he never went out
of the hotel and most of the time
didn't leave his room. During the
entire stay he read Virgil and tried
to forget he was on earth and in Bos-
ton. The senator proposes to make
another trip to New England, and if
weather permits intends to see Bos-
ton.-Kate Fields Washington.

Doing Two Things at Once.

At an evening party it was re,
marked that nobody could draw two
things at once. Sir Edward Land
seer replied that he thought he could,
and taking a pencil in each hand he
drew simultaneously and without hes.
itation with the right hand the pro,
file of a stays head and all it's antlers
complete and with the left hand a
lovely horses head The acts OF
craftsmanship were strictly stimuli
taneous and not alternate, and the
drawing by the left hand was as good
as that by the right.-Exchange.

GENTLEMEN of the press, we are
glad to see you. You are not strangers
in Austin; the people here know you
and love you, and you have always
been faithful to them. Welcome again
to Austin. If there is anything you
want and you see it-take it-that is,
any news you want. This is new
kind of thing you are about to tackle;
read up on aquatic sports, talk to the
champions and get familiar with their
professional expressions and then drive
your fabers for all there is in it. Give
Austin and her regatta good send off
and don't forget to do justice to her
dam. 1t has been slandered abroad,
not by your sort, but by the pariahs
of the press. Go and examine it and
tell the truth about it. That is all we
ask and that we know you will do for
you are truthful set of young men,
as general thing. Make yourselves
at home and take in the whole thing

WOMAN'S EiL-u-


Tain't no use to woo q wOEG.
When she thinks size wits - IL. &. .
Cause woman's only human,
And you'd better take a walk
Till she SINNERS down and settles;
When a womau's Oh her ear,
Ills the pleasantcst in silence
What she has to say to hear.
Tain't no use to try to crowd her,
Cause she's bound to have her say.
You talk loud and she'll talk louder;
Better haste to break away.
When she's in the upper octaves,
Better wander from her view;
Then the song she sings in silence
Is the sweetest song to you.
But you can coax her and caress her,
And she'll melt and run to you
As the 'lasses On your pancakes
In your boyhood used to do.
If you have a sorrow, tell her,
Then just watch her teardrops fall.
And the signs she signs in silence
Are the saddest signs of all.
When you ask a girl to marry
And she hangs on what you've said,
And your hope hangs on her answer,
And a moon hangs overhead;
When you seem to see her thinking,
And you kinder have the call,
Then her answer, said in silence,
Is the sweetest word of all.

Some Wonderful Egyptian Relics.

The Abbott collection in the rooms
of the New Historical society is prob
ably the richest in Egyptian relics,
especially those which point to scenes
and persons of the Bible, of any in
the United States, if not in the world.
Here may be seen the signet ring of
Cheops, the builder of the great pyr-
amid; the gold necklace and ear
rings of Menes, the first pharoah of
Egypt and earliest king known to
history, the ornament being not less
than 1864 years old. In the same col
lection one may see some of the very
bricks that the children of Israel
made during the Egyptian captivity,
and the armor of Shishak, who took
Jerusalem from Rehoboam.-St. Lou

A Delicate Operation.

An artisan about 30 years of age
some five years ago fell and severely
injured his right arm. 1t was OPP
Grated on at the time, and the result
proved that either the surgeon by mis-,
adventure had divided the nerve OF
it had been torn in the fall. At all
events the injured arm never re.
covered it's former appearance, but
wasted and became quite useless. 1t
was q serious misfortune to a work
ingman, and it was decided to open
up the arm and explore, with the re-
suit, as first surmised, that the nerve
was found to be partially divided
Two fresh ends were made, and a
live rabbit having been obtained it
was rendered unconscious, skinned,
and the two sciatic nerves were ex-
tracted and stitched to the two ends
of the divided nerve in the mans
arm. The wound was then stitched
up and the patient placed in bed. The
result is most favorable. The man
has perfect power in the right arm,
which is rapidly regaining the origi-
nal bulk, and he is now able to follow
his employment.-London Cor. Edin-

UnhnppY FOREIGN Ministers.


How pinched our diplomatic agents
are was well illustrated in Mr.. Low
ellis time. A rich American, proud
of his country and wishing to leave
a monument to his liberality and pa
triotism, decided to purchase. fitting
legation house in London for the
American minister, but Mr.. Lowell
begged him not to carry out his gen
erous intention during his term Of
Office, for the cost of maintaining
such a house would have been nearly
three times his salary. Mr.. Lincoln
lived becomingly but modestly dur
ing his tenure of the English mission,
but he recently stated to a friend that
his annual expenditure was $35, 200,
or just double his salary.
What the expenditure of an en-
bassy will be depends on the means
of the ambassador, but if our embas-
sador to London or to Paris were to
be paid salary equal to that of the
president he would not be able to do
more than return the official courte-
sizes of the country to which he was
accredited and of his fellow members
of the corps. All of this means that
an American ambassador who has no
private fortune will be unhappy, ard
unhappy men cannot successfully
transact business. -Harper's Weekly.

THE BANKS or AUSTIN.

There seems to be sort of epidemic
OF bank failures all over the country.
1t is a matter of much genuine gratifi-
cation TO be able to record the fact
that there is no danger of failure of a
single Austin bank, whether it is a
national or private banking establish
ment. 1t is impossible for bank to
fail under our stringent banking laws
If it confines itself to the legitimate
business of bankers and its directors
are careful in their line of discounts.
Austin bankers have set the example
of conservative business methods to
the business community of this city.
Austin has succeeded by its careful
business methods II obtaining the
character of the most conservative
business city in the state. The bank
of this city are in the hands of men
who cannot be enticed into specula-
tive ventures or in the investment of
doubtful securities, but profiting by
the example of others who have done
80 and made most disastrous failurest
they have avoided the Charybdis
speculation on one extreme and the
Scylla of doubtful securities on the
other and they always have had easy
and plain sailing with large cash bal
ance account as ballast. While our
bankers are careful they are also finan-
cially responsible. The stockholders in
our banks are men, generally, of large
fortunes, and in any emergency they
would.be enabled to reinforce their
cash balance from ample means that
they keep at command. The Asso-
ciated Press makes daily reports of
bank failures that have become
chronic from their frequency and else.
where than in Austin, distrust and
doubt are taking possession of the
minds of business men. The whole
country is beginning to feel the
tremor of financial uncertainty.
Worthless stocks have been forced into
the avenues Of speculation and have
received the sanction of Stock Ex-
changes of financial centers, thereby
offering dishonest bankers protec.
ton against the law in speculations
that there is one chance in 10 in max
ing "pile," but nine chances in 10 in

ors, and thus have bank failures be-
come frequent and distrust general:
but there is not the slightest danger
of any Austin bank Ealing nor is there
a shadow of doubt to ground distrust
upon in regard to our banks. If The
STATESMAN, with its superior sources
of obtaining information, knew or sus-
pected that bank in this city was
the least bit shaky it would not hest
tate to say so in order that the COM
,munity should be protected, but on
the other hand, The STATESMAN
knows what it asserts, without any
intimatton from any banks, that our
banks are perfectly sound in every
particular.

Thistledowns High In the Air.

1t was only few days ago that |
stood on the top of one of your tall
buildings here and noticed a thistle,
down passing high over my head to
the west. 1t undoubtedly came from
across the Mississippi river over in
Illinois somewhere. While on the
top of the Auditorium tower in Chi
cago I saw one justa little below that
height coming in from Lake Mich.
gan, and where it could have started
from cannot be guessed, for a stiff
breeze was blowing from the east.
The chances are that it came across
that great lake. Two years ago,
while at the top Of the Eiffel tower
in Paris, l saw one at that great
height smoothly sailing by, and it
looked as though it was constantly
rising higher
l have met thistledown miles out
at sea, and I know as a boy l have
seen this down passing over the little
Lake at home, which was three miles
long'and two miles wide. They seem
to be all pervading, for Du Chaillu
says that he saw thistledown floating
by him when fully 100 miles out on
the desert of Sahara, where there
was no sign of vegetation. Thistle
down would have been immortalized
had only some floated out past Co.
