VlI'E STATESMAN.
AUSTIN. ThXAS.
Thk administration at Washington
is unloading itself of Chalmers.
Fifty young niidshipme. have just
been graduated at the Ann;ipolia Aca
demy. Justice Field is reported as say
ing the Democrats are going to win
in 1884.
If the disorganizing element pre
vail look out for nepotism even in
university management.
The status of the doctors remains
unchanged, the Americiin Medical
Association having einphacised tht
old code of ethics.
The Tiltk n uien are going to con
centrate, if possible, on McDonald
They are as determined as ever to
hold Mr. Hendricks down.
Says Mr. Carlisle: Kevenue for
the government with incidental pro
tection for labor, but no bounty foi
capital, is the policy demanded by tht
iutelligance and patriotism of the
country.
Congressman-elect Jeffokis, ol
Mississippi, who is a republican, say
Chalmers must come squarely intc
the g. o. p. if he would gain office by
republican votes. We had sus
pected that Chalmers was already as
irnoit a. rpnublican !is he could well be.
n
The chief block in the way of
Democratic progress is its cowardice
For eight years it has clung to the
tariff for revenue idea, and now the
trimmers are trying to make it
change front in presence of, the
enemy already in battle array.
Col. Van II. Makninu, of Missis
sippi, who holds the certificate ol
electioa a- congressman against Gen
Cualfuers, repeated, in an interview
the other Jay, that he would not take
his seat until the contest had been
decided, although he was eligible at
the beginning of the session.
The Cincinnati Gazette asks why
the men who declare that a tariff
which levies duties beyond the meas
ure of needed revenue do not make a
test case and get the opinion ol thesu
supreme court on the question The
Ualtimore Day bluntly retorts: "That
is not a hard question. The answer is.
because the same people who Oxed
the tariff have also fixed the supreme
eourt."
Says the Washington, Star:
"if playing poker is to be prohib
ited in the city of Austin one of the
principal charms of Texas legislative
life will be destroyed."
It is evident that Pope Leo has se
cured a victory and has succeeded in
divorcing religion .from politics by
the issuance of his letter to the Irish
clergy. Archbishop Croke, of Cashel,
bows before the mandate of the pon
tiff. Archbishop Ribbons, of Balti
more, has notified the clergy of his
diocese that he does not wish them
to hold office under the Irish national
league, and Father Brennan has in
consequence expressed his determina
tion to resign from the national com
mittee. From the pope the Irish
will receive their theology and will
take their politics from Parneil and
other leaders of the league.
The banishment of the mayor of
Moscow for indulging in the hope of
a constitutional reirime shows that
the czar is. bent on raising a conflict
between despotism and liberty. lie
has signalized has formal assumption
of power by an act of absolute tyr
ranny, thus manifesting upon the
threshold of his rule that he means to
maintain autocracy. Apparently
there is to be no compromise between
despotism and nihilism. One or the
other must go down, and we are in
clined to believe the latter will suc
cumb. '
The .statesman is informed
through reliable authority, that Dis
ii t-Attoruey Evans did not with
draw the charges made against Mar
shal Goslin, because of his absence
during the January term of the court.
They stand as made, and it is under
stood the Attorney-General rendered
a decision thereon, which was placed
in the hands of both the District At
torney and the Marshal. Th s decision
has not been given to the public, and
i may never be so given. Apparently,
however, it has affected the status
of neither of the officials, as they both
appear to be in good standing with
the department of justice.
It is believed in Washington that
the next reorganization of the senate
will be on the plan suggested winter
before last; that Mr. Edmunds will
be idlowed to remain as the presiding
officer, and that the chairmanships
and subordinate offices will be di
vided between the parties. It is said
that Mahone still claims the right to
dictate the organization.
Mk.,Williau McAdoo, Kpresen
tattve from Xew Jersey, will be the
youngest member in the whole Con
gress. He is a native of Ireland, and
is now in his 30th year. When recent
ly asked how he stood pn the tariff he
said : I am not a free-trader. Free
trade at present is impracticable. On
the other hand, a tariff for protection
only is unconstitutiomd and justly
unpopular. The Democratic party is
not, as some suppose, hopelessly divi
ded on this question. Tnere is no ultra-protectionist
element in our party
such as that led by Mr. Kclley in the
Republican party, while the free-traders,
pure and simple, who are Demo
cr ts, have no weight in shaping pol
icy." -

Certainly the person ho penned

known that the west wing of the uni
versity is now nearly completed, and
that it will be ready for its uses by
the 15th of September, when the first
session of the university will begin.
The pay of professors will begin then,

of one professor has been voted from
the 13th of Muy, and he has already
devoted considerable time to prelimi
naries, and will be employed during
the summer, in selecting and having

The L"ii !!" exp.-iti-n will
ltat k the beM.., mjr of h 'lew era in
the history ot ;-outhern agricultuie.
The people of the northern states
will be there, inquiring into the real
condition of the south, and ' when it
is demonstrated to them that our
cheap lands may be made to produce
as much, and even more, than
the high priced lands of their region,
many will give way to the elbowing
at the north, and with the proceeed.--of
their lands there will invest here.
Many of the southern states
are going to have fine
agricultural exhibitions at Louis
ville. Arkansas and Kentucky and
Tennessee and Florida are already
preparing their exhibits, while Texas
is satistied to have a commission of
generals and colonels, without even
a blade of gr.uw, represent the dig
nity and the resources of the great
State of Texas. The Statesman
urged that the state put money in
tlte great exhibitions, claiming that it
would be returned a thousand fold in
twelve months in increased taxation
in Texas. There was no authority
directing the legislature or urging it
to make :in appropriation
for such purposes, and there
fore we have these empty generals
and colonels as the sole contributions
from Texas. In referring to this op
portunity, which we ure glad to know
will be takeu advantage of by most
of the southern states the Couriei
Journal says:
More northern people will come to
Louisville than could by anv means
be induced to go to any other south
ern city. It is no rush estimate to
place the attendance here during the
hundred days at one million. As we
have said, these visitors will be made
up, to a large extent, of families in
search of cheap and productive lands.
In addition to this the exposition will
Oe the industrial event of the year,
and it will receive, as it has already
received, widespread attention from
the press. If the south is here wit h
the products of her lields as well as of
her mines if she sends corn and wheat
iind tobacco as well as iron, peaches
and pears and grasses, as well as cot
ton, silk and sugar, vegetables and
grain of all kinds, as well as a won
derful variety of limber if the south
will make an exhibit of this charac
ter, which she can well make, it will
do more to attract attention, to bring
to us immigrants and capital, thau
without such an exhibit she can ac
complish in ten years with all her im
migration bureaus and land syndi
cates actively at work after their
usual and well-approved methods.
The agricultural committee of the
southern exposition will do all in its
power to make known in the north
the vast capabilities of southern agri
culture. Its inexhaustible richness
and variety the south itself is only
just now beginning to understand, as
is evidenced by the growth of truck
farming and stock raising. Here
tofore the impression has been wide
spread that the south was not a grass
growing country, but the states
east of the Mississippi are turning in
to the marnets of the world a vast
deal of mutton, while Texas is feeding
the world with most delicious fresh
beef. It is mortifying to know that
at Boston and at Louisville and Cin
cinnati and Chicago and St. Louis,
great exhibitions are to be held,
where, unless through private enter
prise, there will be no exhibit re
minding the curious that such a place
as Texas is on the map of the globe.
Such is a sample of the very great
wisdom that dire, ts the public affairs
of Texas.
SOWING SEEDs OF IHSSESiSIOX.
The opposition to the decision of
the faculty of the university, as to
who shall be their presiding officer, is
a new thing in the history of univer
sity regulation. The splenetic move
on the part of the Alcalde and
his backers, begins to look as though
we are to have an element in the in
stitution that would rule or ruin it.
Such a sentiment, in fact, is openly
expressed, and now is the time to
suppress it, or hereafter it will be
come dangerous to the best interests
of the institution. The faculty de
cided, and it w;is the proper body to
so decide, as to the presidency, and
this proposed dictation from a per
sonal power should . not be
tolerated for one moment.
If the regents are to be led around by
their noses by soreheads, and dictated
to in furtherance of personal and po
litical interests, they had just as well
resign and leave the administration
to others. We have, always thought
it a stretch of propriety that Gov.
Roberts was chosen as one of the
professors, and now to name him as
president of the faculty of professors
would be a stretch of propriety really
dangerous in its tendency. It will
be seen now whet her -favoritism or
experience and capacity will control
in the direction of the unniversity.
The political features of
the case, too, are unfortunately very
apparent, and the sacred necessity of
nipping auch a motive in the bud is
imperative. If differences between
political factions, between the heads
of the past and present state admi
nistration, are to be healed by naming
one, who was never a professor in all
his days, sis the president of a faculty
of the most eminent professors, is to
be the sequel of this conspiracy, then
the university managers are to be
pitied.
A good deal of excitement prevails
among the Catholics of America at
the intimation that the Tope will
tighten his rule in this country, and
that especially will he discipline the
Irish Catholics in reference to Irish
agitation. A dispatch says:
"The leading representatives of the
Roman Church, includiug Right Rev.
Bishop Ryan and Rev. Father Cronin,
the editor and orator, were inter
viewed by your correspondent this
evening. The conversation had a po
litical bearing, besides relating to the
chief ecclesiastical topics of the hour.
What do you know of the alleged
summoning to. Home, of American
vrchbishops to receive papal instruc
tion, and make reports regarding pol
itics and the Iris1! agitation in thir
oouutry V wasa-ked. - The Bishop an
swered: 'There may be asumnious to
report on church work, but I am sure
American politics will n t bo formal
ly discussed. In a missionary coun
try like this papal instructions are
looked for, and are acceptable as re
gards church affairs, but politics are
not a subject for either reports of in
structions. I doubt this report,
however, as also the one that a ple
nary council is to be held in the
United States next year; Pro
vinciid councils are sufficient. 'The
talk of disciplining the Catholic elergy
is nonsense. The bonds are tight
enough, and the relationship is satis
factory ou loth sides. - It has not
been altered by recent events. The
clergy are not interfered with in the
encouragement they have chosen to
give the land lesigtie's peaceable agi
tation in behalf -of -Irish liberty."

Fathe: Cronin. "This is a new phase
of the luestion," said he, "and I am

a litftinite answer. I wuj
say without . hesitation, how
ever, 1 hat it is a disgrace to the pres
ent R publican administration to con
tinue as the representative of this
country in England so un-American
and pro-British a flunkey as the
wretched Lowell. lie has not onl

disgraced and belitted the United
States by playing the part of spy and
informer for the British government
It need not be wondered at if this
man's conduct tells heavily upon the
party which is responsible for him
when the next national canvass comes
around. He has served to increase
the .very general belief that Know
Nothingism is rampant in the gov
ernment at Washington and the Re
publican party at large." James
Mooney, ex-presideot of the Nattion
al land league, was questioned on the
same point, lie said: "The Demo
cratic party would certainly not tol
erate such a man as Lowell at the
court of St. James. He has heaped
insults upon h-elaud and Irish-Amer-icaus
that will not be 'orgotten. At
the same time we will not forget that
we are peaceable American citizens."

A 'I rip to the Far West.
Owing to ill health, we concluded a
week or so since to lay aside the
cares of office life and take a stroll
or ride as far out as the Texas bank
of the Rio Grande. Of course we
1 ft Austin wfien we started. Even
tually we arrived in San Antonio, af
ter skipping through several pros
perous villages. At the City of Ala
tnorio remembrances we paused. We
didn't stop entirely, for we were com
pelled to keep in motion while taking
in the city and getting ourselves
taken in. We found many magnifi
cent buildings in course of erection
and ground being cleared for many
more. The city was crowded with
strangers from every direction, and
each man seemed to be spending
money freely. But wasn't it hot!
Thermometers had vanished. After
a stay. of two days we mounted the
platform of a Sunset car and were
soon i being whirled past cottages
and irrigated gardens at lightning
speed. After a run of eight hours in
the dark we halted at the muchly-written-up
town of
DEL KIO, KINNEY COUNTY.
As we did not get a dead-head meal
ticket at any of the hotels, or a tree
ride, we are not under obligations to
mention or give any one a puff ; but
we must say, before describing the
town, that the Sunset route is the
grandest, as far as we have been able
to observe, of all our railway systems.
The managers have endeavored to se
cure the finest and most comfortable
cars in. the land, and they have suc
ceeded well. Steel rails without a
flaw, as "far as the eye could reach,
were something new to us, but here
we found them, and were informed
by the gentleman showing us the
town that the same could be seen all
along the line. The company have
erected one of the finest depots in the
south, built entirely of California red
wood. Their round-house and two
story hotel are among the most sub
stantial buildings of the kind to be
found in any land. They are estab
lishing a system of water-works, of
which any town might well be proud.
While looking about we discov
ered the pipe-layers busily engaged in
planting the cast-iron conveyers of
fluid from the springs to the depot.
The company seem determined that
the town shall be a place of much im
portance in the near future, and de
serve credit for aiding in the building
up of one of the grandest states on
earth.
Del Rio is one hundred and seventy
miles west of San Antonio, on the
eastern bank of the Rio Grande, and
embraces an irrigable territory of
many miles. Few m untains abound
on the American side of the river, the
town and surroundings being nearly
as level as some placid lake. A very
few fields are in cultivation this
spriug, owing to the fact that the
railway company, while building, paid
laborers from $2.50 to $3 per day,
whereas before as farm hands they
received ouly 7oc. and $1. It is prob
able they will have to return to their
old love, the plow, this fall, and com
mence where they left off. Two crops
each year can be made in this coun
try, as the fanners never wait lor rain.
Although the dry season had been on
hand for many months, still in the
shade the breeze was perfectly delight
ful, and at nighttime a person enjoys
a repose of "sole" unknown - to us
tramps of the interior. As a rule we
found the inhabitants exceedingly
polite and unsuspicious that is, they
don't think every one comes out to
rob them. Many a place
have I been where every one slapped
his hand upon his pocket and gazed
at me with suspicious eye. .Not so
away out upou our western border
where many people from the north
expect to meet ouly roughs. Among
these courteous .peopie we became ac
quainted with a Spanish lady by the
name of Rivers, who is one of the
richest inhabitants, possessing an ex
tensive homestead near the town and
much land, etc., outside. She was
talkative and explained everything
we could not readily, understand our
selves, as we strolled through one of
the finest' vineyards and plum groves
to be found on earth. We have seen
many a plum tree weighed down with
plums, we have gazed upon many a
grapevine we thought to be full, but
the fruit presented to our vision away
out in that apparently desolate region
"kinder got away with" our imagin i
tion. Peaches did not seem to flour
ish so well. - Hut what an opening for
the wine-maker in the future! We
were informed they were of the Con
cord species and made very sweet
wine. She said her entire plum
and grape crop ' were for
sale cheap, but no one was
in that business as yet. and she would
have to least her friends when they
ripened we mean the fruit. But we
were compelled to leave this sylvan
retreat as the springs had to bej
visited. Auer nan an nours anve
we halted at Xo. 1.- The water seems
to boil up through a large hole with
ragged edges, from some river far be
neath. It is like crystal and is very
cool. Number 2 is somewhat larger
than No. 1, but both are about as
beautiful as the other that is, they
are alike lovely beyond compare.
There is one smaller, but enough has
already been said by other dis
tinguished writers to give the tourist
an idea of where to go for water.
We then visited the immense beds
of drifting sand lying on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande. We wer
half an hour in crossing, but eventu
ally reached the river's edge,, and
drank to the future of Texas in the
braekiah water of the great Americo
Mexieanic river. Then back to the
hotel. All this in one d.y; and sit
10:50 that. night we were homeward
bound, where we arrived at 3:30 Sun
day evening. Keknel Kkaig.

as possible. Neither physicians or
newspapers will give an account of
the number of deaths occurring, bu!
on the contrary use every effort for tin

Pierce refuses to tolerate anything
that.'ignores his control of that part
of the system.

again indicted, prosecuted, convicted
and sentenced to twelve years im
prisonment, lie has served out
nearly three years of the term and
now receives executive clemency

What Protection docs for the
Farmers.
Free Trade Speech o Mr. Sliermau.l
The farmers have long been treated
to the most bewildering calculations
for the purpose of showing that the
protected manufactures were their
sole source of wealth. Immense pains
have been taken to prove that the
farmers could not live without the
market afforded by protected manu
factures; and the statement has been
made a thousand times that a foreign
market is a positive injury to the
American farmer, because, so long as
he sent his wheat to Liverpool, "the
Liverpool market would fix the
American price. The wise scheme
which has been invented for the relief
of the farmer is therfore to make
the number of his customers less.
For is he not told that it is a positive
injury to him to sell his whpat
in Liverpool? If, then, Livei
pool can only be prevented
from buying American wheat,
surely the American farmer will be
made more prosperous. These wise
acres overlook the. fact that the only
way in which Liverpool can be pre
vented from fixing the price of Ameri
can wheat is by preventing Liverpool
from paving the highest price in the
market of the world. The only reason
why Liverpool fixes a price is that
Liverpool is the best market; and
just because it is the best market, the
protectionist desires to ruin it, for the
benefit of the American farmers.
The best answer, hov ever, to all the
nonsense which is talki d about the
Liverpool market is the fact that,
with the increase of protection, thi
American home market h:i
become less iind less favor
able to the American farmer,
iud he has become constantly mon
dependent upou Liverpool. The
states upon which a large manufac
turing business is done raise all the
provisions which they need lor the
consumption of the, manufacturer."
and workmeu ; and they do not now.
and they never did, furnish a market
to the American farmers in the more
strictly ' agricultural states. Mr.
Ximmo, writing in the North Amer
ican Review iu favor ot protection,
lets slip the facts that 95 per cent, ol
.ill the exports of breatstuffs and
provisions come from the w stern
states, aud that the eastern manu
facturing states consume nearly all
their own provisions, and neither ex
p rt abroad nor furnish any consider
able market lor the western states.
The west is absolutely dependeut
upon itself and upon Europe. The
eastern market is practically of no
avail to it. Yet to support this im
aginary eastern market the west has,
for many years, cheerfully borne an
enormous load of taxation, levied un
der the pretense of protecting Anier
iean industry.
Of course, no considerable class of
American farmers is, or can be, pro
tected that is, direct y benefitted by
protection. The idea of protecting
American cotton, wheat, corn, beef ,
pork or mutton is, of course to weak
for even protectionists to advance,
All these things we produce more
largely than any other country in the
word. AVe constantly have a surplus
ot them, which must be continual!
exported. The ouly importations of
breadstuffs which we make are those
which come from Canada, and these
affect only a very limited por
tion of the United States
The maintenance of a protective
tariff agaiust Canadian breadstuff's is
simply ridiculous. Wool is theonl)
article raised by farmers which can
seriously be pretended to be benefited
by protection; and that such benefit
is a mere delusion has repeatedly been
shown, not only by argument but b
the plain facts of experience, which
show that American wool has always
sold for a higher average price when
foreign wool was admitted under lit
tle or no duty, than it has when foreign
wool was heavily taxed. It is impos
sible to produce every variety of wool
in this country; and" wool cannot be
successfully manufacture 1 without a
libercd mixture of every class. The
more foreign wool we iinjwt, tin
more American wool w-e should want;
anil in proportion as foreign -wool i.
shut out, it becomes impossible to use
American wool in our manufactures.
Let us stand for free trade and farm
