one would have supposed by reading any
one number of the Atlanta Constitution,
but that all the Democrats of the State
of Georgia, Hoke Smith excepted, re-
garded the crime O. of 1873 with as
much adherence and destestation as they
regard the great transgression." The
conclusion would be that certainly the
atmosphere in and about the city of At
lanta, where the Constitution newspap-
er welded potential influence, would
be fatal to any gold bug and a deadly
poison to any Democrat who dared to
sustain the National administration and
its exponent Grover Cleveland. But
quite the contrary, it seems that
Georgia and especially Atlanta has a
climate peculiarly favorable to the
health of sound money Democrats.
The free silverites confident of their
overwhelming majority in Georgia and
the hypnotic influence of Atlanta and the
Atlanta Constitution and knowing that
farmers more generally attended stock
fair than any class of people, and believ-
ing that the farmers of that and other
Southern States favored the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16
to 1-called a congress to determine the
financial policy of the country to assem-
bic at Atlanta enduring of the fair
That congress has convened and that
congress has acted and by n vote of psi
to 104, that congress has killed free sill
yer, as far as they were concerned,
las dead as a door nail" And further
than that, that congress of farmers and
planters from Georgia and other States
contiguous have absolutely endorsed the
administration in sustaining the credit
of the country by issuing government
bonds. The free silver fellows were bad
ly ratified when they were so ignominious
ly defeated on the main question, but
they pulled themselves together and
chuckling at their political sagacity, they
offered a resolution against the further
issue of interest bearing bonds by the
government. Now thought they we've
got them, they wont endorse Cleyeland's
and Carlisle's bond issues" but they
counted without their host. The resolu-
ton denouncing the bond issues was lost
Not a peg did they have to hang their
hats upon, and the congress adjourned
and will stand in the record as a sound
money, Democratic congress composed
of Southern farmers, mostly from
Georgia.
How are we hereafter to regard our
esteemed contemporary" the Atlanta
Constitution? Not of course as the pos
SCISSOR of prophetic ken, even as to the
opinions of the Georgia farmers. But
even farther than that, can we regard
the Atlanta Constitution in its represen-
tation that the tidal wave of free silver
has swept over Georgia and the whole
South, and left not single dry spot
upon which a sound money Democrat
could stand and defend the National plat
form and Democratic administration?
Oh, no, we have lost confidence in the
of the Constitution as to
the actual condition of political affairs
in Georgia, embracing the monetary
policy of the country, nor can we ever
again rely upon the fulfllment of single
prophecy of the Atlanta Constitution

r1NANCIAL TINKERING.

IF silver bullion were made legal tender

Of its cold valuation, all the hundreds OF
miIIions of silver stored in the treausry
would be equally available as gold lot

there would be no trouble ABOUT main-
tanning the parity.-Eagle Pass Gulae'
Silver bullion is worth q little more
than fifty cents in gold or that is its
valuation by gold standard or, as the
Guide has it, its "gold valuation, ana
of course it would be and is available for
the redemption of treasury notes just as
reodily as if it was made legal tender
ot its gold valuation. The thing is to
get congress to retire and cancel the
treasury notes and greenbacks, and then
there would be no difficulty in getting
the money in silver at its gold valuation
or gold with which to purchase ana re-
tire and cancel them. Certainly there
would be no trouble about maintaining
the parity at its commercial gold valua-
ton. but we see no necessity for making
silver bullion legal tender, even at its
market value, as proposed by the Gulde'
Silver bullion is received now at its gold
valuation by weight just as readily as II
il was legal tender at its commercial or
gold value. If silver bullion was made
legal tender for the redemption OF
treasury notes, the bullion itself would
have to be repurchased under the pres
ent system of sustaining the credit OF
the government at dollar for dollar. So
in the long run the loss to the govern
ment would be as great as under the
Sherman silver purchasing law. The
idea suggested by the Guide has been eX-
ploded long since.
There is already too general DISPOSE
ton to tinker with the monetary prob
lem. The last congress made serious
blunder by failing to retire and cancel
greenbacks and treasury notes. We do
not suppose a Republican congress can
be relied upon to do so, as the whole
system of circulating money
is a child of that party, and the paternal
still actuates the party. 1t
is as plain as the nose on mans face
that until the greenbacks are retired and
cancelled they will form that "endless
chain" that, anaconda-like, is wrapping
and rewrappng it's dangerous folds about
the United States treasury. We do
not want any more tinkering. We want
the true cause of the periodical financial
trouble of the treasury remedied

... CHAPTER l.

Sunday is the day for courtship on
the prairie. 1t has also the piety of
cleanliness. 1t enables the young man
to get back to a selfrespecting sweet
ness of person. 1t enables the girls to
look as nature intended, dainty and
pure.
The change from everyday wear and
tear on the part of young workmen like
Ben Griswold was more than change; IT
was transformation.
1t took courage to go through it all:
Yes, it took more than courage-lt took
love. Ben arose little later on Sunday
morning than on week days, but there
were the chores to do as usual. The
horses must be watered, fed and cur
ried, and the cows were to milk, all be-
fore breakfast at half-past seven.
After breakfast he threw off the cares
of the hired hand. When he came down
from the little garnet into which the
hot August sun streamed redly, he was
a different man. Clean from tip to toe,
newly shaven, with cracking white
shirt, linen collar and new suit of
store clothes, he felt himself man
again, fit to meet maidens.
= His partner, being married man,
was slouching around in his tattered
and greasy brown denim overalls. He
looked at Ben and grinned.

RUSSIAN JEALOUSY OF JAPAN.

We do not know how far Japan will
be held responsible for the disappear
ance of the queen of Corea, who, it ap-
pears, was the real sovereign of that
country. 1t is apparent that the queen
was obnoxious to the Japanese, as it is
evident by the queens objection to Co.
rean soldiers initiating the japanese SOL
diers in adopting its modern style of uni
form that the queen hated Japan.
Japan already has a powerful enemy
any time and it would have been wise
in japan if its troops stationed near the
palace had prevented the abduction of
the queen. The dispatches state that
the queens native guards fled before the
attack of the newly uniformed Corean
regiments, but Japanese troops were just
across the street and might have prevent
ed the abduction of the queen, and likely
would have done it, unless instructed
otherwise. The presumption that they
were instructed not to prevent the alb
duction is strengthened by the fact that
the king and his following, who are fav-
orable to Japan, succeeded to the throne
and became the ostensible rulers of Co
rea.
Russia is watching Japan with that
jealousy that magniics the most insight
cant act and will doubtless find in this
fresh cause of complaint against the
japanese occupation of Corea or any
other territory claimed 10y that nation
as the spoils of its victory. 1t is fore
gone conclusion that conflict of arms
is inevitable between Russia and Japan
and it may be that Japan is strengthening
an indifference to the pleasure of the

MIR. LEWIS HANCOCK AUSTIN'S
NEXT MAYOR.

1t is with peculiar satisfaction that
The Statesman this morning is able to
state to our fellow citizens that the
mayoralty question is virtually settled
We hive contended that this is most
important time in the history of Austin
The city has Just completed the dam and
almost completed the water works sys'
TEN. To get that system in full opera
ton and also to derive from the surplus
power of the dam all possible in the way
of manufactures and the growth to the
city they would mean, constitute work
requiring the very best business ability.
So we have clamored in season and out of
season for the very best man that Austin
has for the position of mayor. Many
names of fine business men have been
proposed, but they each and all of them
have been unwilling or unable to yield as
much of their time from their individual
business as the affairs of the city would
require So to the very great regret of
our best citizens it seemed the question
would have to go by default. But this
is not to be. At the very earnest solicit
tation of many of our best business men
and largest taxpayers, Mr.. Lewis Han
cock has consented to stand for the
mayoralty if our people so desire him.
This settles the question. Our people
want for mayor just such a painstaking
and careful man of business as Mr.. Han
cock is. He is a young man, of energy,
push and perseverance and with plenty
of time at his command to give the inter
ests of the city the very closest attention
He is man who, if sent TO the North
on business for the city, would, in all that
is refined and polished and businesslike,
represent the city of Austin most adj
mirably. He is a man of means, one of
our largest taxpayers, and such men
should take keener interest in our city's
affairs than to this time they have done.
And, in this connection, The Statesman
would suggest that The acceptance 10y
Mr. Hancock of the mayoralty should be
the means of securing the announcement
for aldermen of the ablest men in the
respective wards of :he city. Let us
not only have thoroughly business
mayor but business council and Austin
will hum along as never before in her
history. The Statesman heartily con-
graduates Austin on this most acceptable
solution of the mayoralty question. as it
feels assured Mr.. Hancock will be
elected with practically unanimous

ANTI-TOXINH TREATMENT.

DR.. Behring at the Lubbock congress of
German physicians read a paper in
which he held that his anti-toxine treat
ment of diphtheria has continued to be
most successful. Mortality has decreas-
ed in all hospitals where anti-toxine is
used. In Germany alone in the last year
1000 lives of children, he estimates, have
been saved by it's use. The mortality in
cases of diptheria will ultimately be re-
duced, he thinks, to per cent. He is of
opinion that it is time to begin general
vaccination of children with the serum
as. a preventative against diphtheria. 1t
is possible to manufacture serum of
such strength that the injection of only
half cubic centimetre suffices to give
complete immunity to children who are
not already attacked.

EDISON THE WIZARD.

The Philadelphia Record says: "The
visit of Mr.. Edison to the coal regions
of this State for the purpose of examin-
ing into the feasibility of converting the
culm banks into electrical energy is full
of significance, for, unlike many invent
ors, Mr.. Edison is pre-eminently practi-
cal. If he can convert the waste-heaps
into power he will make them banks of
untold wealth to the State. Indeed, the
prospect holds greater possibilities than
can be conceived of at this time; and its
future developments will be awaited with
equal interest in the scientific and econo-
mic worlds"

FRAGRANT BUTTER.

Perfumed butter is becoming very fash

tables. The butter is made into pats and
stamped with a floral design and is then
wrapped in thin cheese cloth and placed
ON bed of roses, violets or carnations
arranged in a tlat-bottomed dish Over
these is placed layer of flowers, so that
the butter patties are imbedded in flow
ers. They are then placed on ice, where
they are allowed to remain for several
hours. This butter is eaten with crisp
Vienna rolls, accompanied only by cup
of chocolate or delicious mocha

CuRAN SYMPATHY

The New Orleans Pycayune says:
There is project on foot to call mass
meeting in New Orleans in order to pc
tition congress to recognize the belliger-
ency of the Cubans, and to pass resolu-
lions of sympathy of much the same
general character as those adopted by the
Chicago meeting. Such a movement is
worthy of every success, and so long as
denunciation of Spain and demands for
impossible action on the part of the
United States government are avoided,
the proposed meeting can be productive
only of the best results. Owing to the
proximity of the island of Cuba to New
Orleans. and the trade relations between
it and this city, our people feel strong
sympathy for the Cubans in their strug-
gle for independence, and they unqes-
tionably favor every right and proper
movement in their behalf; consequently
the proposed mass meeting is likely to be
well attended"
