Quite an accident happened at the
nome of Mr.. James Blair one day
last week, who had recently moved
on the Hardage place, on the old
battle field near Kennesaw moun~
tain. His children not knowing the
danger placed an old ten-inch bomb
shell in the fire place as an andiron.
Several hours after, while the fami-
ly was at dinner, the shell exploded.
Fortunately no one was hurt, al
though the rocks from the chimney
were thrown over the room and over
the dining table.
A little nonsense now and then is
relished by the wisest of men, there

place thought he would participate
in little fun, and also enjoy a little
comfort. He was the possessor of a
fine tree that grew near his home.
So one morning, bright and early,
he took up the old house cat, hid
her under his coat and went to the
said tree, taking the cat by the tail
made her scratch the bark, and
leaving some cat hairs on the tree,
home he comes to tell the boys near

near there. The axes we're soon

now the old gentleman is basking in

boys got no coon.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-12-26

Speaker Reed has designated the mem
bers of each standing committee of the
house of representatives of this congress.
If the names of the chairmen of the most
important committees are considered with
reference to 'the pull each of them has
on his party in his section of the country
the conclusion must be that Mr.. Speaker
Reed appointed these chairmen more with
reference to his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency
than for their efficiency on the respective
committees.
1t is dangerous thing for candidate
for Il nomination for the presidency of the
United States to hold the position of
speaker of the house of representatives
of congress unless he has great political
acumen and sagacity. 1t must be ac-
kn0wledged that Mr.. Reed has displayed
these qualities in an eminent degree in
his appointment of the chairmen of the
standing committees of congress. There
is no politician in this country that could
so successfully cast so many anchors to
windward as the mariner from Maine
has in the matter of these appointments.
We believe this preliminary skirmish has
given the victory of the Republican nom
nation to Mr.. Reed but we call atten-
ton to the fact that nomination is not
an election.

half-cocked, or like a magazine some
spark is struck by the heat of the con-
troversy that explodes the magazine.
Those of us who are old enough to re-
call the causes of different wars within
our time will remember after the wars
were over how small to us seemed to be
the cause of war. Even those who are
most familiar with history would recall
in vain any just grounds for the war with
Mexico waged by this government in the
"forties." All we know and all that his
tory informs us on the subject is that
the political cry of POLK and Texas"
in 1914, set this Nation on fire with
warike spirit that urged General. Taylor
later to cross the Rio Grande, and we
were in the midst of wars alarms be-
ical ground swell, with the war trim
mings," should sweep over this country in
1896 war would be inevitable. But we
are much more fully developed into the
manly statue of mature Nation now
than we were then, and the probab ility is
that we will have better control of our
judgment now than then.
Then we had not such a reputation
for the glory of our arms as we have
now, nor could we afford to have our
military prowess derided then as now.
Again, then we were animated by a
sympathy for our kith and kin who had
just come out victorious in war with
Mexico for Texas independence, and our
blood naturally fired up more quickly
than it does upon the mere maintenance
of principle working in behalf of peo-
pie with whom we have no particular
personal sympathy The Venezuelans
are our South American neighbors to
whom we are pledged not to permit a
European government to take advantage |
of their weakness and impose arbitrary |
lines of boundary upon them. In the |
war we were animated by per- |
sonal sympathy. In the Venezuelan af- |
fair we are animated solely by a cold |
principle of National honor, and we would |
not likely be as hasty in the latter as we |
were in the former embroglio.
Although congress may not take it's |
usual Christmas holiday, it is no indica
ton that in Il few days, weeks or months
we will be plunged into a foreign |
war, and as we, the people, have very little
to do with it until the shooting begins'
we can take our Christmas holidays with
as much ease and as gaily as we usually
do when Christmas comes.

FOREIGN VIEWS ON THE VENE-
ZUELA POLICY.

The only power in Europe that seems to
favor the policy in the Venezuela matter
OF the president and congress of the
United States is that of Russia, and the
only indication of that is the silence of the
Gar. 1t has always been said, but we
could never learn the reason for it. that
Russia was the natural ally of the United
States. The only way we can vet ac-
count for it is upon the ground that Eek
tremes meet" There never have been
two governments more Numerically op-
posite and different than the United States
and Russia. We can understand at this
time, why the car should pat Uncle Sam
on the back and urge him on to warlike
measures with Great Britain. Russia
has long been jealous of the possessions of
Great Britain in India. They stand in
the way of the apparent destiny of Russia
on that line of conquest, and we can fully
understand that in this emergency Russia
would be our ally
Germany is by no means pleased with
Mr.. Cleveland's statement of the Monroe
doctrine. 1t is stated that Germany is
very pronounced against the American
policy in South America in order to i'm
press Mr.. Cleveland and congress with
the idea that Germany will back up Eng
land if matters should be pushed to the
extreme. All we have to say on that sub
ject is that such limitations will not in
the least affect the action of this govern
ment in its Monroe policy, and we may
add that Germany has about as much to
do at present in holding the Socialists of
that country in check without seeking for
eign complications. But as far as Ger
many and this country are concerned, they
will never go to war. We are consider
ably imbued with the blood of the Water
land in this country, and that too of a
mild Socialist color that would make both
countries hesitate very long before either
would draw the sword or let loose the dogs
of war upon each other.

AUSTIN SHOULD BE PROUD OF IT.

The Statesman is proverbially modest
about its achievements, but when it is
sues such paper as it did yesterday, it
is thought the management have great
reason to congratulate themselves and
the people of Austin. And the latter are
congratulated because nothing so adver-
tises city as an Al good newspaper.
This we are now all the time giving our
people, but the edition of yesterday was
peculiarly fine. For in addition to the
showing we were enabled to make of the
energetic business interests of the city
through the 81 columns of finely de-
signed and progressive advertisements
published, there were in yesterdays
Statesman 66 columns of pure reading
matter. The telegraph embraced the full
Associated Press report just as it comes
from headquarters at Memphis to the
State of Texas and is printed by five
other morning papers. In addition to
the telegraph there were 81 columns of
absolute local news of our capital city,
and two columns of editorial. The bal
ance of the reading matter was up to
date reprint culled from the latest and
most prominent exchanges from all over
the United States, much of it peculiarly
pertinent to this Christmas time. Such
an edition would have been most credita-
BILE toanewspaper published in any city of
the United States, barring none, and
that we published it in Austin, city of
only 27,0O0 people, makes it especially
creditable to us. Hence we feel that
we can, with all becoming modesty, con-
graduate ourselves and the city of Aus
tin upon the edition.

DIR. BRIGGS.

The Greensboro, Ky, Daily Messenger
of December IA, has an account of most
fattering reception given to DIR. q. w.
Briggs, who was appointed by the bishop
at the Methodist Episcopal conference of
the Louisville district, as pastor to the
Methodist church at Greensboro. The
church at Greensboro is very fOurshing
one, located as it is, in one of the most
thriving cities of Southern Kentucky. The
of that church can not help
being pleased with DIR. Briggs as he is one
of the most eloquent pulpit orators in this
country. He was pastor of the Tenth
Street Methodist church in this city for
several years, but his health failed from
nervous tension, produced by a malady of
which we understand he has been COM
pletely cured which his numerous friends
and admirers in this city will be glad to
hear. Owensboro can not hope to retain
the services of Dr. Briggs but for short
time. As soon as his eloquence is heard
md known, some Louisville church will
lemand his services. DR.. Briggs has few
'uperiors as a pulpit orator in this

NO HURRY ABOUT IT.

Our foreign complications and financial
troubles must indeed be serious when the
congress of the United States denies itself
the pleasure of adjourning over for the
Christmas holidays, and it was wise
thing to do under the circumstances. Of
course there can be no immediate settle
ment of the Venezuelan embrOgliO, as con-
gress must await the appointment by the
president of the commission to determine
the boundary line between Venezuela and
Great Britain and their report of the
same.
The English papers express astonish-
ment that any such commission should be
suggested by the president, as they de-
clare such commission would have no
authority from Great Britain, and they
will not be sustained by congress in such
policy. In that we know now that
these English newspapers are mistaken.
Congress acted as promptly as possible,
giving Mr.. Cleveland plenary powers in
regard to the commission.
As far as the commission having no au-
thority from Great Britain is concern
ed, that is very true, but at the same time
that is Il matter of perfect Indifference to
this government. The commission will
be appointed and charged with the duty
of obtaining all the facts in this boundary
question for the sole purpose of giving
information to this government. upon
which it can base its action about which.
we might retort, England has nothing to
do.
Although this matter can not come to
II head in day or week or a month. it
is very proper that congress should re-
main in session, so that if anything eX-
traordinary happens it can be met with
promptness. The probabilities are that
it may he several years before this issue
between the governments of the
United States and Great Brit
ain will assume such serious elimination
as to demand final action by this gov
ernment one way or another. unless. ms
we said in the inception of the contro-
versy, one government or the other in
the intlammatory condition in which both
countries now are should happen to go off

THE CABINET CONFERRED

several of the members of the cabinet

preston that there had been Il special

tons of the finances. Diligent inquiry.
however, failed to establish the fact that

but there is no doubt that Il conference.

tary Carlisle and Secretary Lamont.

The Monroe doctrine seems to be the
most popular thing that has been sprung
upon the country for some time. We have
been lighting about silver until black
eyes are as numerous as the locusts of
Egypt, and the cry has been "the knife
to the hilt," but in moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, we are changed
from fratricidal belligerents to a broth
erly love equal to that of David and
Jonathan. The moment the Monroe
doctrine is mentioned free silver men
fall upon the bosom of gold bugs and
visa versa, weeping with patriotic emo
ton. Oh, we are a great people.

There would be no more certain way to
run gold up to premium than for the gov
eminent to pay its obligations in silver as
soon as there was premium on gold. The
moment this bill became law gold would
90 up to premium, and the gold leaving
the country would at once put us on Il
silver basis. Mr.. Vests resolution to that
effect, in the face of our financial and for
cign difficulties was very unpatriotic to
say nothing of its antagonism to Demo
cratic principles.
We had rather look for financial relief
from the Republicans in congress than
from such milk and water, shilly-shally-
ing Democrats as George Vest Our for
eign complications may appeal to the
patriotism of the Republican members of
congress with such force as to induce
them to forget partizanship for the pres
ent and do something in the way of au-
thorizing the secretary of the treasury to
issue bonds of small denomination to tide
over the present difficulties, but that is all.
We have no hope of this congress retiring
and cancelling greenbacks and the treas
ury notes, that would put the country
in such good condition that there would
be no opportunity for them to tinker with
the tariff.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-12-26

Our Texas congressman Jared very
well at the hands of Speaker Reed in
the way of committee appointments.
Of course, the Republicans got the first
part of all the committees, but Texans
were well honored by getting places
when the time to name the Democratic
members of the committees came. Our
own Joe Savers was first on the appro-
priations committee. Culberson was
first on the judiciary. Bell first ON the
third committee on elections and
Hutchinson first on two commit
tees, patents and irrigation and
arid lands. This was doing very
wei for Texas, thank you, and our
representatives will do their best TO hold
the Republicans down.

SENATE EOpECAST,

Washington, Dec. 22-The course in
the senate. this week will depend largely.
If not entirely, upon the turn which af-
fairs shall take in the house. The senate
adjourned yesterday until Tuesday.
In the event that the house should adj
Journ over the holidays the senate will
be ready to acquiesce as a majority if
the senate are favorable to the holiday re-
cess. The probabilities point strongly to
the absence of quorum the greater
part of the week in case no recess is
taken. The calendar contains one bill
of general Importance and not to ex-
coed half II dozen minor bills. Conse-
quently there is little prospects of actual
legislation in any event
