TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1883.
Senator Wade IIamiton, ofSomh Caro
Una, ilifTcrtfrom the average Democratic poli
tician In this that he is of the opinion that
Southern manufacturers need protection.
Tin Palestine News very properly "has no
use for a newspaper man who caters for the
public and has no enemies." Abraham Lin
coln once expresied a truth in the sentiment,
"that a man who had no vices had very few
virtues."
It has generally been believed lhat a ma
jority of votes for Garfield is what defeated
Hancock, but the llarllord Courant publishes
a letter over the signature of Judge D. C.
Birdsal!, In which he announces himself as the
author of the charges that Hancock was de
feated by Tilden, and reiterates the charges.
So MUCH has been said and printed about
the adulteration of beer, to the efTect that Its
component parts are glucose, corn, rice, aloes
and other foreign substances, that the In
ternal Revenue bureau has thought proper to
prepare a new form for the monthly return of
brewers, which requires the sworn statement
of the names and amounts of every article
uied for adulteration.
Tin Meiia Ledger sas: "If Texas con
tinues to improve at fast for the next 20 years
as it has in the past 20 and we doubt not it
will It will certainly be the grandest State In
the Union by far. Its natural advantages are
si great lhat it requires no drumming to in
duce men of capital to invest, and each new
inves'ment tends to make the country more
Inviting Verily Texas is destined to a great
fu'ure "
Iv VIEW of the continued hot and dry
weather, .and the vast amount of dust flying
around. It w uld be a good scheme if Ihe city
would use tome of the water privileges to
which it is entitled, and wash out the ttteets
The conces Iont given the waterworks com
pany are. worth much more than the fire
privileges, and if the plugs all over the city
were opened two or three times a week, Just
now, it would add much to the comfort, and a
great deal to the health of the community.
Let the water be turned on.
The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette sayt :
"The gross form in which the hostility to Gar
field is carried on it unmistakably composed
of overheated malice and cold blooded politi
cal calculation. Garfield was not a perfect
man, but there It not one of all who are making
a business of abusing him worthy to be named
with him, and the very fact that he is pursued
Into his grave at no other man hat been is
testimony that he stood when shot down for
that which is missed and mourned by the
American people. A good deal that Is said
teemt actually aimed at Blaine."
The Dellvllle Newt sayt: "Not less than
IS.ooo people attended the Parsons Brigade
reunion at Alvarado on Ihe 1st and 2d
Instants. Union and Confederate soldiers
mingled freely, and everything breathed an
Intense loyally to the government of the
United Statet. There were no apologiet for
the Confederacy, nor regrets for the part taken,
but all teemed to regard the war at a mistake
too teriout to be repeated under any circum
itancet. Perfect good feeling hat existed for
yetrs between the boyt In blue and the boyt
in gray, and the sentiment It making Itself felt
among thepoople of both sections."
The sand lot cry that "ihe Chinese must
go," don't teem to have the effect ol prohib
iting them from coming to this great American
land of the free, and the smuggling of live
Chinamen from British Columbia hat assumed
the proportions of a regular business. San
Antonio has a great many Chinese in the
laundry business who come here from the
Pacific coast, and their numbert are constantly
Increasing. The Light receives ihe patron
age of Wo Hop & Co., late arrivals from San
Francisco, In a card, which goet to show that
heathen though they are, they appreciate the
advantages of an advertisement In a readable
local paper.
Before Carey inaugurated the business of
Informer the Irish Invincible who had the
nerve found plenty of employment In his opera
tions against the British officials. The rise of
the informer has changed all this, however,
and while he can and no doubt Is called upon
to exercise his peculiar talents, yet It it in
another direction. The bate minion of the
English Government is given a rest from
dodging bullets, while the informer putt In
hit time In trying to hide from all familiar
faces, and avenglcg invinciblcs, and it it safe
to tty that at long at the race of informers
lasts the hated officials will have an eay and
comfortable time.
The papert have all remarked about ihe
frequency of tuiridet In San Antonio. With
a death from lhat cause on Saturday night
and an attempt on Sunday, it does took as if
there was some out ide influence, in the air,
so to tpetk, lhat produced this desire to ex
plore the unknown beyond, Some of the
ciset are those of persons who are invalids,
and who dltpaired of relief, while love has
played an important pait in hastening othcrt
out of the wnr'd. In a city like Stn Anlrnio,
where there is a great shifting, dialing pipu
lalion, there are to be found many to whom
life offers but little inducement, unfortunates
in social and business life, who, in Ihe mo
ments of their insanity, take the opportunity
to cut short the thread of life. But If there
are outside causes, which we very much
doubt, to which can be assigned this desire
for self-destruction, It it to be hoped that
tome scientific mind will take hold of the
question and successfully ravel the mystery
that hat to recently caused to many tuicidet
in Ihlt city.
Mexico.
In view of the many recent unjust criticisms
regarding Mexico and tha't people, the follow
ing, from the Brenham Banner, it worthy of
perutal :
" The average American teemt to overlook
the fact lhat Mexico it a very old country
older than the greatest part of the United
Statet, especially that part west of the Alle
ghany mountains. The people have for years
been settled in their manners and habitt
which, it may be laid, have remained un
changed for many generations. Themanners,
habitt, customs and religion of Mexico are
very different from ours, and those who expect
Mexico to become Americanized in a day or a
year, or even manyyeart are laboring under a
delusion. The Mexicans are set in their ways
and they are not anxious for a sudden change;
they have lived and prospered at they are lor
teveral centuries, and when radical changes
are sought to be pressed upon them they re
sist. A majority of the population are grossly
Ignorant and are easily led by those in author
ity. Railroads in Mexico are destined to
work a revolution, but lime will be required.
Suppose Mexico were the stronger power and
the people ol that country were to come to
the United Statet to iotroduce their man
ners, habitt, customs and modes
of doing business, would we tamely submit to
it. Evidently not; then why expect the Mexi
cans to do to. The golden rule should be ap
plied; kindness, fair and honorable dealing, a
good deal of patience and much time will
alone bring about an amicable understanding
between the sitter Republics. There are
many people in Mexico who regard railroads
as an undesirable innovation and who prefer
to see the commerce of the country carried on
by ox cartt and mule teamt. In thit respect
we are to some extent alike; there a'e men in
Texas who still tigh for the .good old dt)s of
ox wagons.
A WONDERFUD FIND.
A .llunuicrlpt Copy of Tortious of Hie
lllblo Hiouiamlt r Venn Old.
From the New York bun Cable Letter.
A Mr. Shapira, of Jerusalem, a bookseller
and dealer in antiquities,has just deposited in
the British museum 15 slips of black sheepskin
leather, on which are the celebrated Moabite
stone, portions of the book of Deuteronomy
differing materially from the received version.
The date of the slips Is the ninth century be
fore Christ, or 16 centuries older than any
authentic manuscript of any part of the Old
Testament, Mr. Shapira bought them from
an Arab, and he askt for them $5,000,000
from the British museum. If genuine, the
interest and importance of the discovery can
not be overrated; and.so far as variations in the
sacred text are concerned, there Is promise of
one of the greatest controversies that scholars
have ever entered upon. The decalogue fur-
nisnes a gooa example lor comparison with
the received version. I quote from Ihe
Shapira record :
"I am God, thy God, which liberated thee
from the land ol Egypt, from the house of
bondage. Ye shall have no other gods. Ye
shall not make to yourse vet any graven
Image, nor any likeness that it in heaven
above, or that it in the earth beneath, or that
is In the watert under the earth. Ye shall not
bow down to them nor serve them.
"I am God, your God, sanctify. In six
days I have made the heaven and Ihe earth,
and all that there it therein, and rested on
Ihe seventh day. Therefore, rest thou and thy
cattle, and all that thou hast.
"I am God, thy God. Honor thy lather
and thy mother.
" I am God, thy God. Thou shalt not kill
the person of thy brother,
" I am God, thy God. Thou shalt not com
mit adultery with the wife of thy neighbor.
" I am God, thy God. Thou shah not tteal
the property of thy brother,
"I am God, thy God. Thou tha.lt not
swear by my name falsely, for I visit the in
iquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of those who take
my name In vain.
" I am God. Ilir God. Thnn ,1,111 ,,,.
false witness against thy brother.
" I am God, ihy God. Thou shalt not cn vet
his wife, or his man servant, or hit maid ter
vant, or anything that Is his.
I am God, thy God. Thou thalt not hate
thy brother in thy heart.
" I am God, thy God. These 10 words
God spake."
