It is sincerely to be hoped that if the
I eople of Texas ever do get a deep water
port it will be without the accompaniment
of monopolies similar to the whatf com
pany at Galveston.
Qua people are at last getting stirred
np over the road question, as is evidenced
by a commnnication on that subject this
morning. Let the leaven work. There is
need, glaring need of reform. It is the
one shameful need of the county. Let us
have substantial turnpikes all through the
oounty and business will be brisker, our
farmers happy and the cities will reap a
handsome benefit.
No town in Texas, and bnt few in all
the sonth and west, possesses advantages
and attractions superior to Anstin for the
development of commerce and manufac
turing industries. Enveloped on almost
every side by a soil as rich as the valley of
the Nile and with a oliinat(S as healthful
and genial as the mountains of Italy,
Austin is to-dny pressing forward with
rapid stridrs on the great highway as the
most prosperous and sub -tautial town in
the state.
Thk New York Tribune jumps with
avidity at the atntament that the notifica
tion committee deciJed not to carry red
bandanas when they waited officially upon
ex-Senator Thuriuan to inform him he
would be the next vice-president of the
United States. The truth is the Tribune,
as are all republicans is afraid of the old
red bandana. Out it will wave from one
end of the nnion to the other from now
ntil November, and wherever it floats it
will mi an victory. No wonder there is
terror in it for the unhappy republicans.
Sistib cities and towns are becoming
alarmed at the substantial growth and
prosperity of Austin. They recognize
Austin's superior advantages and attrac
tions, and in trying to magnify their own
importance they seek to disoonrnge ns in
our efforts to etand in the front ranks of
progress. We must redouble our ener
gies; work hard and work iu harmony,
and snocoss will crown our efforts and
soon put Austin beyoud competition as
the first city in Texas to reach a popula
lation of one hundred thousand thrifty,
healthy, prosperous and happy people.
Tn Dallas News says: '
"No town in Texas has a building of
snQioiout size to cutertain oomfortably a
large convention. Such a building will be
erected in some Texas city. The ques
tion is, does Dallas propose to permit
some other place, by patting np snch a
building, to secure all the general gather
ings of the state for all time? For where
such a bouse or auditorium is there will
the poople assemble Dallas has sug
gested this accommodation for the public,
and Dallas should make haste to carry its
suggestion to an achievement."
Where is' the necessity for any city in
the state erecting such a building? Texas
now has a capitol bnilding in which there
is an auditorium capable of containing
the largest convention that will ever as
semble in the state. The honse of repre
sentatives' hall in that bnilding will, on
its floor, seat comfortably 1,500 delegate?,
and the galleries of the room oan hold at
least 2,000 people. Is there a finer audi
ence chamber on this aontinentf The
state owns this building and why should
he not nee it f Dallas' zeal is commenda
ble, bat there exists no oooasion for its
display in this matter.
The citizens of Travis county have
ohosen from their number tho9e in whom
they rely, and delegated them to repre
sent the interests of the county in tho
convention to be held next week. These
delegates are to pot in nomination t! e
candidates for the different county oilioes,
and do other work of importance to the
oounty. It behooves them, then, to keep
f reeli in mind and to lay upon their con
sciences the responsible office they hold
and the importance of doing their duty
faithfully and well. In making their
selection of tie gentlemen for whom they
will vote for the different ofllaes, they
should be ruled not by personal
reasons, nor the claims of friendship.
Remembering that they in this matter
represent not themselves but the oounty,
they oan see that these offices should be
given only to those most fitted to fill
them. To this end every delegate should
make it his business to leurn as much as
possible of each and every oandidtite for
every office. Only by doing this oan a just
decision between the merits of tne dif
ferent olaimnnts be reaohedw The demo
crats must, this time, put out a ticket that
from top to bottom will command the re
spect and confidence of the oounty. This
must be done to win, and it is expected of
the delegates that they perform thytr duty
well nnd give as such a ticket.
THE UNITED STATE'S SENATE
In reading recently the speech delivered
by Senator Seward in 18".0, upon the death
of Henry Clay, we were forcibly struck by
the following sentences:
Thus, with very great versatility of
talent, and the most catholic equality of
favor, ho identified every question,
whether of domestic administration or
foreign policy, with his own great name,
and so became a perpetual tribune of the
people. He needed only to pronounce in
favor of a measure or against it here, and
immediately popular enthusiasm, excited
as by a magio wand, was felt, overcoming
all opposition in the senate chamber.
In this way he wronght a change in our
political system that, I think, whs not
foreseen by its founders. He converted
this branch of the legislature from a nega
tive position, or one of eqnilibrium be
tween the executive and the honse of
representatives, into the active ruling
power of the republic. Only time can
disclose whether this great innovation
shall be beiiloent or even permanent.
The fears expressed by Senator Seward
that the Unit d States senate would
eventually nsurp powers that had never
been conferred by the founder? of the j
government have been verified, and to day
that body is a moneyed oligarchy that has
assumed control both of the legislative
and executive powers of the government.
Instead of being a negative power it has
become active and aggressive in shaping
legislation and obstructing the. executive
in the performance of his duties.
It adds intendments to house bills that
it oompels that body to adopt if the
measure wonld become a law. It for par
tisan reasons stands in the way of the
the president, and, if it cannot defeat his
nominations, at least insults hi id and the
nation by hanging them op as long as
possible. It is more than a check upon
its oo-ordinate legislative branch, it is an
aggressive body constantly arrogating to
itself additional power. It has grown to
be the House of Lords of the American re
public It needs that the states make a
change in their senators. Many of them
have been in that body too long.
BADLY MIXED.
This is going to be the most mixed up,
conglomerated cimpaign since the days
of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or General
Andrew Jackson. The announcement is
made in the dispatches this morning that
the state convention of the American
Party for California has met and taken
action with reference to holding a national
convention and putting out a presidential
ticket. Bat this is only one, outside the
two great parties, that will run its candi
date for president this year. There are
the prohibitionists, the united labor, the
woman's rights, maybe the greeabaokers,
and, lastly, the new Texas party uf the
"stockraisers, farmers and laboring
men." All are fixing to take
part in the great contest of 1888.
Possibly, Belva Loakwood may again be
come a candidate against Cleveland and
Harrison and further complicate matters.
In the Btate campaign we are drifting
into a very mixed condition. Democrats,
republicans, anion labor, stock raisers and
farmers and prohibitionists will all be
before the people. And tin most mixed
of all will be our county canvass.
We can all rely upon one thing. That
is, the people will straighten ont the
situation in November, and deal out
justioe as impartially as they know how.
In the interval the demoorats are serenely
happy, as is their wont.
SELECT AVAILABLE MEN.
The oounty campaign of two years ago
is not yet forgotten. It was a lesson to
the democrats, which they would do well
to remember in the seleotion of standard
bearers, which will be done in a few days.
The chief points in the lesson are, that,
to be successful in the approaching raoe
for county officers, not only good but
available men must be selected. It is
unwise and idle to put np men who
do not possess either the confidence
or the good will of the people who do the
voting. We must get men who suit
them, otherwise we shall find ourselves on
the mourner's bench the day after the
election.
It is scarcely necessary to call attention
to the fact, which is known by os all, that
Travis oounty is neither emphatically nor
certainly democratic Unlike the case of
the state tioket, a nomination by the
county democracy is not, by a long
shot, equivalent to an eleotion, as we
found to our sorrow in the last
canvass. It behooves the party, therefore,
to put out the best, strongest, most
popular men that can be had for the
county offices. This is no time for ring
or olique trader, and it will not do to
monkey with the people, or attempt to
force upon them candidates they do not
want. If we do, we shall repent of a
course that may vastly damage the inter
ests of the city and county by aligning
them against the great democratic party
of Texas, which holds power by a majority
so colossal.
THE NEW TEXAS PAKTY.
The "non-partisan state convention of
farmers, laborers and stock raiders," has
injeoted a new and it may prove a very
important elemeut ia Texas po.itios.
That convention in Fort Worth put out a
full state ticket and enunciated ns its
platform in some respects the most, start
ling document that has been given to
the public in the last decade. Mr. Evan
Jone1, of Erath county, and Dr. H. S.
Broiles, of Fort Worth, constitute the
nominues for governor and lieutenant
governor, respectively. The platform,
after a declaroa'ory whereas, con
sists of fourteen plants, of
which the following are the most sweep
ing and startling:
(1) "That national banks should be
abolished and the bank notes retired from
circulation, nnd the government issue
money direct to the people."
(2) "The means of communication and
transportation should be owned or con
trolled by the people, as is the United
States postoflioe, and equituble rates every
where established."
(3) No aliens should be allowed to own
or hold real estate in this statj or the
United States, and that all lands now held
by foreign syndicates or individuals
be alienated within five years to
aotuBl settlors, by sale or otherwise
and that no further grants of lands be
made to corporations.'"
(4) "We demand that a constitutional
amendment be submitted by the United
States cougross to the several state legis
latures, making presidents," vioe-presi-dents,
United States senators and post
masters elective by a vote of the people."
(5) "We favor the enactment of a na
tional usury law."
(7) "We demand the immediate pay
ment of the national deb at its face
value."
(11) "We favor rotation in office and
are opposed to third termism."
To how many of these articles tyin
the farming, laboring and stock raising
men of the state subscribe? The plat
form has some good planks in it, but is it
not too sweeping'and radical in its tone
and intent? By resolution the conven
tion also demanded the repeal of the in
ternal revenue laws. One thing - of worth
it accomplished was in endorsing the ef
fort of the state to secure deep water at
some place on the coast, aud sending a
oommittee to the Fort Worth deep water
convention to work for that end.
What this new politioal "non partisan"
party will effect in this election it is hard
to predict. It is etill a party of
crude formation and of extrava
gant views. In may, at the
fall eleotions, take votes . from
both the old parties, the democratio and
republican, notably the former, the
strongest party of the state. But no fear
is entertained that it will in the. least im
pair the chances Of complete demooratio
victory all along the hoe in November.
In the meantime iuterest will center
around the Character of fight the new
party will make and the arguments it
will use to bolster up the claims and de
mands of its platform. ,
In an interesting article to the Geolog
ical and Scientific Bulletin on the geolog
iual survey of Arkansas Mr. R. T. Hill'
recently elected to the chair of geology in
the University of Texas, says:
While the state of Texas was rejecting
the geological survey bill winter before
last, certain public -spirited citizens of
Arkansas succeeded in inaugurating a
state geological survey, the bill appropri
ating $10,000 per anuum, and giving the
geologist a salary of $3,000.
The results of all these investigations,
published in proper shape, as the officials
of the state seemed determined they shall
be, will be of more value to
the state of Arkansas than nil
the "boom" literature ever invented,
and I only wish that good old Texas, with
her ten-fold greater resources, may rea
lize one-half the good results from her
survey that Doctor Branner's survey will
bring to Arkansas. He is not a dema
gogue, nor is he "booming" things, but is
bringing sure and lasting benefits to a
state, which, with one-tenth our resources,
is developing all our energy.
In addition to all of the above eco
nomic results, the survey will make many
lasting and valuable contributions to the
scientific knowledge of our earth's crust
results which, with all due respect to all
those who value nothing less conspicuous
iu bulk than a bale of cotton, are, in the
long ran, the most beneficial to mankind.
Cleveland is going straight ahead
vetoing private pension bills. He will be
applauded in this by the honest portion
of the country. A number of vetoes were
sent to congress yesterday. Cleveland
aims to do what is right, and that's the
kind of a man for the people.
Acbtih did nothing towards oelebrating
the "Glorious Fourth" yesterday. Let us
stick a pin right there and resolve to do
better next year. Austin cannot afford to j
ignore sach a day. I
The entry .books are not closed and can
didates may still apply. Bnt very few
instructions were given at the primaries,
and candidates will have their fight to
make before the delegates nntil this time
next week. Fur most of the offices there
would seem to be enough claimants in the
field, but we would like very much to see
an A No. 1 man come out for the lower
house of the legislature. If we have a
hobby it is this: We do want to have
Travis count well represented in the
Twenty-first legislature. There is work
to be done, most important work, and the
county should have men there capable and
willing to do it. There is time enough
yet before the convention. Can not our
citizens select some one of their number
in every way worthy of being their stand
ard bearer and place him in the midst of
the oontest? Do it for the honor of old
Travis, or if this does not move you, do it
for your own selfish ends.
TEX.VS.MINEKALS NOW CUMING TO THE
FliONT.
The Texas boom is coming. Her min
eral wealth i3 beginning to command the
attention of the capital of the nation
The new company with a $1,000,01)0 capi
lal, that is to farm the iron ore in Cher
okee county, a few miles from Rusk, is an
indication, a premonition of what U com
ing. "New Birmingham," the future town
will be called, and this Birmingham and
other places like it all over the state will,
within the next decade, attract to Texas
the same charaoter of capital, life and
busiaess growth aod enterprise that char
acterized the bnilding np of Alabama's
great iron industries. But one thing
there is, should came the state
grief. The company that is to
work this iron deposit, that
is to take advantage of these riches and
help the state develop her wonderful re
sources is not a home oompany, but is
composed of northern capitalists. Shades
of Bell, of Cooke and Cone Johnson, what
an outrage is being perpetrated npon
the state! Is there no way by which thise
soulless men, these foreign interlopers
oan be enjoined, be debarred the sttte,
that our home people may reap the
benefits of all this wealth? Yet, this is
the kind of nonsense these gentlemen
treated the legislature to when the geo
logical bill was nadir discussion. Let oat
side capital come in and develop the state's
resources. Texas needs all such capital
she can seoare. Welcome "New Bir
minglrim!"
The whole issue iu this campaign, in a
nutshell, is whether the government has
the right to tax one man for another's
special benefit.
CLEVELAND'S ACCEPTANCE
The Unrevised Edition of the
President's Speech.
From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, Rep
The speech that Cleveland rnadu to the
notification committee the other day was
considerably revised by Dan, or some
body el-e, before being delivered. The
first draft of it Ian somewhat thus:
"I cannot help feeling exceedingly tut t i
frntti when I eee about me the inessen

The Old Man.
Summer Resorts.
From the Houston Post.
If the people of Texas would use the
money they expend annually, in visiting
watering plaoes out of the state, in fitting
up summer resorts on our coast aud inj
terior points, not only would they keep
this money at home, but avoid the extreme
heat that sometimes prevails at these
northern and eastern watering places.
There ars many places on the coast, such
as Galveston, Corpus Christi, Port Lavaca
and other points in and around Mata
gorda bay, where as delightful watering
places might be founded as any on the
Atlantic coast, and among our western
hills and valleys there are numerous
plaoes where homes for a summer resi
dence might be mndii very charm
ing. A Georgia paper lately had a
short chapter cn this subjtct, which
can be so eadily fitted to Texas
that it is reproduced: "Few people con
sider how much is saved to Georgia by
the bnilding up of summer resorts within
the state. A man who takes his family to
Cape May, Saratoga or the Virginia
springs for a mouth's trip does not count
on spendicg less than $500 to $1,000. This
money is gone, never to return to Georgia.
To stop the hundreds of families that
have formerly been compelled to go north
for amusement and comfort during the
summer, is to stop an immense drain on
our cash capital. The immense expendi
tures at St. Simon's island osrry hundreds
to that surf who formerly sought the J ersey
coast. The improvements at Tallulah, at
Warm Springs, and elsewhere through the
state, will keep many at home who for
merly went wandering. The Piedmont
Chautauqua hnsalrendy turned the tide of
southerners who went elsewhere during the
past summers, and with the assistance of
the admirable resorts iu mountain and on
shore, from one end of Georgia to the
other, will leave little excuse for uDy Geor
gian seeking either pleasure or com
fort outside of the limits of his own state."
What is said of Georgia applies with
equal force to Texas, and it is to be hoped
that ere long it will become "fashionable"
to spend Texas money in Texas, where
equal enjoyment may be obtained for the
same.

Requisites for a County Superin
tendent ol Public Instruction.
To the Editor of the Statesman.
You will perhaps remember a series of
articles published in your paper last year
on the subject of the appointment of
concty superintendent of public instruc
tion in this oounty. In those articles was
a brief outline of the dut.it s of superin
tendent, as iniJ down in the law c.etiing
that office, and at this time I deem it ap
propriate to present to the public through
the columns of your paper t-ome, at least.
of the qualifications of a county superin
tendent of publio instruc lou.
Perhaps the first qua'ilication is scholar
ship, as the law requires him to bo a
first-class teacher, and seoond, but no less
important qualification, is experienoo as
a praotical teacher, far it certainly is both
the letter and spirit of the law that he
shall be a practical teacher; for, while the
language is that he shall be a person
of educational attainments, good morel
character and executive ability, it cer
tainly means executive ability as a
teacher, or yon might go into the ranks
of other professions and find rr.cn of
executive ability in their particular
sphere. I doubt whether it would be in
accordance even with the letter of the
law, and certainly not with the spirit,
to select such an official outside
of the ranks of the professional teaohers
of the county. Certainly, ont of the larpe
number or experienced teachers of Travis
county, several can be fouud fully up to
the standard of the law. You will permit
me to say lust that a paramount qualifica
tion is experience as a praotical teacher,
for, while there are now many important
questions connected with the office, iu the
near future there will be questions of vital
importance with which no one but an ex
perienced teacher can grapple, one of
which I will venture to suggest is the rod
and anti-rod question, which is even
now - agitating the publio schools
of this city. Another qualification, as
specified in the law, is ability as a lecturer,
tor he is expree sly required to visit and
lecture the schools of the county on topics
caicniateu to excite an interest in publio
education. In all the ptnndarcl books
wmca treat or school superintendence
all the above qualifications are laid down
as indispensable to the success of public
schools.

f he Mohammedan emir of Nupe, West
Africa, has ,ent the following stirring
message to Bishop Crowther, of the Niger
mission: "It is not a long matter; it is
about barasa (rum). Barasa, barasu, ba
rasa! It has rained oar oonntry; it has
ruined our people very much; it has made
our people mad. I beg you, Malam Kipo,
don't forget this writing, because we all
beg that he (Crowther) should beg the
great priests (committee of the Church
Missionary society) that they should beg
the English queen to prevent bringing
barasa into this laDd. For God and the
prophet's sake for God and the prophet,
His messenger's sake, he must help us ia
this matter that of barasa. We all have
confidence in him. He must not leave our
country to beoome spoiled by barasa.
Tell him may God bless him in his work.
This is the mouth word from Malike, the
emir of Nupe."
The supreme court of Kansas has decided
the case brought by Jaoob T. Haokney.of
Winfield, against the trustees of the Chris
tian church of that city, to enjoin them
from playing nn organ in church during
the service. It was claimed on behalf of
Mr. Hackney that at the time the charoa
organization was perfected there was no
organ or other instrument of music per
mitted to be used by the congregation in
its worship, and that this was never per
mitted until after aa organ had beea
forced into the churoh; that lis believes
that the introduction and nse of the nruan
in the worship of the congregation is con
trary to the word of God Rnd sinful, and
that he and abont forty others of the con
gregation have always been conscien
tiously opposed to the mtroduotion of an
organ in their worship; that in
February, 1888. J. M. Vawter was em
ployed by the congregation as a preacher,
and that at the very first opening of di
vine service held by him an organ was
swung into position, an organist took her
place, and the exercises were opened by
instrumental music. This cgainst the
wishes and protests of Haokney and other
members of the congregation. The opin
ion was written bv Justinn .inhnn h
holds that ihe church cannot legally keep
an organ. Where some of the officers and
members of an indeoendent ohnroh forci
bly intrude into the ohurou . building and
the publio worship therein, and the form
of worship is oontrary to the established
principles and laws of the ohuroh, and it
is done against a nrotest of a maioritv of
the officers appointed to oontrol the
affairs of the congregation, their action is
an infringmentof the rights of the mem
bers, and such a perversion of the churoh
property from the purposes for whioh it
was intended. As a court of equity we will
restrain npon the application uf the mem
bers.
