HILL Vice-President PEYTON BROWN General Manager Entered as second-class matter. Office of publication, 122 West bUth street. THE CENSUS. The alleged conspiracy of the load ers of the majority in congress, as un folded , in a special to the Courier Journal from Pittsburg on occasion of the late Americus banquet at that city, read moe like a chapter from the works of Eugene Sue than a plain, matter-of-fact statement, which it purports to be. According to the Courier-Journal correspondent Congressman Bayne became so hilarious on champagne that his tongue was loosened and he gave away many valuable secrets of his partylin reply to the announce ment that there is to be a meeting of the national Republican committee on tho 7th inst. to accept the resignation of Chairman Quay. But Mr. Leach, secretary of the com ' niittee, who was feeling extra dry, was indiscreet enough to say the real ob ject of that meeting was to evolve the details of an alleged plot, through Robert P. Porter, to manipulate the census in the interest of the Republi ran nartv. According to .Leacli tne census takers will see s.ngle in the; Southern States ana uouoio in me Northwestern. Very few negroes will be counted, because, as the followers of Quay say, if the negro is not allowed to vote neither will he be counted in the census. Leach further said by this system of counting it was ex pected the Southern States would lose eighteen or twenty representatives and the . Northwestern States gain in the same ratio. Then the census is to bo rushed through congress before the close of the present session, so that the ap portionments for the fall elections can be made upon it. The scheme seems to have been undertaken as & desper ate game to prevent the next house falling into the hands of the Demo crats, which is ailmittod will take place, even by the staunchest Republican leaders and so uncompromising an or gan as the Globe-Democrat. But it is certainly to be hoped, as there is evory ronann tr WHhvg. the conservative winjt -'of the Republican party, which de feated the Blair bill, will not stand. by and see the consummation of any Buch plot, if Buch really exists. BUT A SOWG-TUK (1,400,000. . The expenditure of $1,400,000 in Austin will attract many million dol lars of Eastern idle money. By the will be around thick as flowers on thef prairie. The surplus power will be m demand before it is roady for use. The Austin Water company will be equal to the emergency and put down water rates. It is one of the possibilities that the city will buy the mains and supply pipes f the water company. Its steam boilers, engines and pumps are cash property that may be moved to Dallas or Borne othor place where tho Holly system is a sine qui non. No legitimate interest will be materi ally injured, hence there is nothin etrange in tho unanimity of all inter ests for tho project. Philadelphia has been made a great city by manufactures, which are of vastly greater consequence than its commerce. Its operatives outnumber all othtr classes and own more houses than are owned by the working classes of New York and Brooklyn twico over. Here where the workers' homesteads are exempted from forced sale, thou sands of them'vould adorn the land scape. Austin vrould have a large permanent population of ' workers bound by home ties stronger than steel vo the soil, and independent of landlords and mortgage companies. The expenditure of 1,400.000 to lay the foundation of a manufacturing city ' here would be but a song to the mill ions which would annually be ex pended for labor, and permeating busi ness of all classes, be capitalized in beautiful homes and home comforts. These merchants, carpentcrp, printers, bakers, lawyers, banker, blacksmiths, tinners, artists, teachers, preachers, and men of all avocations of Austin, many of them having gone to work on the street and byways for the dam, are flippantly derided as a crazy mob of enthusiasts. For six months the question of the dam project has been discussed daily. The Statesman ttfr nn that lias DUuiuiicu tuvuj" - - i . . , :; KthoritieB to BUDlGCt irULIA DVIWiW"" i fill a thousand page volume. If any one became excited time lias been riven for reflection. The public mind fas approached conclusions leisurely and with abundant caution. Esti mates and calculations have been critically investigated by hun dreds of anxious readers. The doubter . has solved his own doubts and - the incredulous have established their own abiding faith in the project, k.few speeches have momentarily 'arousctkenthusi. asm, but the great mass oipoppl have arrived at the truth by calm, fe; passionate study of the facts, set forth in cold print. Phenomenal mob is that mastered by enthusiasm imparted by reflection in the retire ment of the study, the office and shop! More practical enthusiasm for election purposes may be expected on the opposing side of the question by or before Monday, but the men who stimulate it are too sensible and too well informed, besides being too deeply interested in the public good them selves to feel any just pride in such reflections upon the mass of the peo ple as have been attributed to them. Convince voters by fair argument and there will be no kicking. Vitupera tion will deepen conviction. But the best thing to do is to pin on a blue "for the dam" badge and go aloug with the mass of good people. During many weeks in the winter time at the North, it is impossible to use water powers, and for tho time manufacturing establishments remain idle. If steam were a cheaper power fce abandoncd But in the heart of tho busiest hivo of manufact urers on this continent new dams are being built. At Hartford it freezes in mid-winter and the Btreams run al most dry in mid-summer. At and about this great seat of learning and industry, culture and thrift, 'cutcness and enterprise, dams have disputed tho sway of steam for fifty years, and now when experiment and calculation by a most practical people demon strates that water power alone will light the city brilliantly and cheaply, with characteristic promptitude the great dam across Farmingtonriver is boing built for the purpose. Austin may well hope to be at one and the same time tho Hartford and Lowell of the South. No paralyzing freezes and but one drouth to effect the flow of the Colorado in the life time of the grizzliest moseback. A hundred years ago rubber belt ing, chain belting, woven and rope bolting, were unknown in moving ma chinery. Leather was in some use and rawhide more generally. Since then alltheuo have come into popular use and rawhide had been entirely sup planted until the last two or three years. Now large establishments are going up for the production of raw hide belting, which is found to be ?lieaI'er Btrnf T an(d largely more lasting than belting of any other ma terial. This is in New England. Woven rubber belting had as good a grip as is claimed for steam. But old things are becoming now. Rawhide is tough and formidable for an all cen tury contest and with its ancient ally that Has, however, never lowered its flag an inch, enters tho lists for an other conflict. Texas has water power, raw cotton, wool and hides. Are they to be of no use to tho people of Austin? Just a year ago the The Statesman remarked the town was awfully dull, and it would require an earthquake to wake it up. Earthquakes were then going the rounds. Now, some how the town has waked up. It has not been an earthquake but a "grand swell" of publio enterprise. Tho up heaval has ripped open the thin stratum of Austin's business fossils. Nothing now impedes progress for the way is opened. No earthquakes are wanted. Who owns the Colorado river any wa T that is tho question to be deckled Monday. Are the people to hold, use and enjoy it, or has it been seized for all time by a tentacular river octopus to coil about and squeeze out the life blood oi this city's commerce for non resident coupon clippers, like the wharf salt sea devil fish of unfortunate Galveston T The Chicago strike which, assumed su:h proportions yesterday, will raise prices on some goods manufactured in that city and largely consumed in Texas.

WAS GTON LETTER. 8ENAT" OWES HIS PARTY AND ION , AN EXPLAN ATION. iyL A Sly, eflcluncy Appropriation BUI That on't Work Cleveland' Re-eleo- J tlon Predicted. t a t Prom Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, April 27. It will not do for Senator Quay to under take to ignore the charges which are printed against him by the New York papers. These charges have been made and reiterated so often that the scandal is becoming a seven, days' wonder in this city, because the Penn sylvania senator says nothing in reply to them and does not bring suit for libel against any of the papers pub lishing these things. He goes right on at the White house and has tfie confidence of President Harrison. This man Quay is the great polit ical leader of the Republican party. He is at the head of the national committee of that party, and has been credited with great political ability. It is very evident that Harrison con siders that he owes his election to Quay more than any other man in his party. The charges which are made against him are evidently true, and that being the case, the man ought to be employed in a penitentiary rather than in the United States senate. The committee on appropriations in the house has prepared a legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which is not an honest one. It notoriously provides for a deficiency in several features, perhaps to the extent of $3,000,000. On the face of it the bill pretends to reduce appropriations for mint and assay officers, for con tingent expenses of the house, for salaries of gaugers and store keepers in the internal revenue department, and in various other matters. The fact of the matter is, however, that next winter after the fall election, a deficiency appropriation bill will be passed, which will a great deal more than make up for the pretended economy f the present bill. It is understood that Mr. Carlisle of Kentucky is preparing a speech upon the tariff, which will be more exhaust- , ive, elaborate and complete than any he has ever yet delivered upon that subject. It is understood further, that tho Democratic managers have made up their minds that they will not de lay the passage of the Republican tariff bill by much discussion and long debate, but that Mr. Carlisle will be their principal spokesman and define the Democratic doctrine and opinion upon the subject when the bill is up for discussion. Of course, under the five minute rule, there will be a great many short speeches made on both sides of the house, and that is to be expected. But, the Democratic representatives do not care to be kopt.here during the heated term, as they were two years ago, discussing a matter which is al ready pretty well known to every per son in tho country, lne Kepublican party has the power to pass its in famous bill, and the Democrats can do nothing more than utter their pro test. The speech of Mr. Carlisle will be one of tho grandest orations ever delivered in either house of congress upon this great and always live issue. Such eminent men as Senator Vest, of Missouri, Hearst, of California, Gorman, of Maryland, are today freely expressing the opinion that Grover Cleveland will be rB-nominated by the Democratic party in 181)2, and that he will be elected. It is a well known fact that the leading politicians of the Democratic party are not in favor of Mr. Cleveland, but it is an equally well known fact that the people of this country have great confidence in him and that the Democrats of this country will demand his re-nomination. ' Bon. THE BLACK COURIER OF CORINTH. An Interesting Incident Recently Related of that Good Battle. (From the Marble Falls Gazette.) When in conversation with Gov. Ross and Capt. Joe. Cobb in Austin last week, the following reminiscence of the battle of Corinth was called to mind and as it was never published we will give it as related by the gov ernor. Our brigade at the beginning of the engagement was composed of Sixth and Ninth Texas cavalry, Third Arkansas cavalry and Maj. Bridges battalion of sharp shooters and was commanded by Brigadier Gen eral Phifer. During the first day's fighting Gen. Phifer s sen-ant, Mason (a largo black negro man) rode up and down in front of the line delivering canteens of water to the famishing men. On the morn ing of the second day Col. Ross was ordered to assault Ft. Robinet, with. his regiment, while other commands were ordered to assail the different points on the line of the works sup porting the fort. The commander to the left started but missed his bear ings, the command to the right (Ville peg's) never did show up at all, which left Col. Ross and his regi ment exposed to an enfilad ing fire from both flanks. Gen. Phifer, upon discovering Ross' perilous position, sent one of his aids do camp to order Col. Ross to retire the aid started, went to the crest of the hill, looked down in the valley of fire and returned, reporting it was impossible to reach Ross ; Gen. Phifer Bent an other aid, who started but returned and made a similar report to the first. The blackman, Mason, who was Bit ting upon a very fine horse belonging to the general, said to his master, "write the order and hand it to me and I will deliver it to Col. Roes." The order was handed t him and he bore it through that rain of shot and shell, sitting erect and rid ing at full speed, he looked like a black eagle soaring in a hailstorm: upon delivering the order, Col. Ross cautioned him to hurrv and get out or he would get hurt; he replied "I am in no more danger than you are, col onel," then deliberately returned on the only living horse on the battle field. Had the order been given to the black courier atK first It would have saved a hundred of the Sixth Texas cavalry. GOOD HIGHWAYS. To tbe farmers Good Roads Are Directly Beneficial. Prof. Taylor of the University, in his article on roads, says : "The advantages to be obtained from a good system of roads is very little appreciated. It is asserted that the military roads of Marshall Wade through the Highlands of Scotland did more for the civilization of the Highlands than all tho preceding ef forts of the British monarchs, and that tho later roads made under the more scientific direction of Telford produced a change in the state of the people unparalleled in the history of any country for the same space of time. .Large crops of wheat soon cov ered former wastes, and the country was advanced 100 years in importance, while real estate increased in value sevenfold. "To the farmer .roads are directly benenciai. ny the most accurate ex periments of eminent road engineers it has been found that on a good bro ken stone road a horse can draw three or four times as much as he can on a common dirt road. This supposes '-hat both roads are in fair condition. In the rainy . seasons the relative capacity of the horse is greatly increased, for on the metal road his tractive effect remains nearly the same in wet and dry weather ; but on dirt roads his effective tractive force Varies from one-third to zero. We, thus see under the most favorable cir cumstances the amount of team to be used in the case of the broken stone road is decreased two-thirds. But taking into account the fact the mer chan table crop of the farmer is ready lor the market in the winter, when the roads are usually in bad con dition, it is safe to say that broken stone offers an advantage of four to five times that of our common road. As the result of close observation in the State of Illinois, it is stated bv. her road commissioner that for two' thirds of the year not over half of what is usually considered a good load can be hauled. One of the civil en' gineers of the State, estimating more in detail, says that for one-quarter of a year only a good load can be hauled ; for another quarter, two-thirds of a full load, and for the remaining half year not over one-half of a good load can be hauled. This estimate for Illinois would not be materially changed for Texas. It is true that our winters are not so long, but our dirt roads are much worse, and even after dry weather sets in they often remain for a long time in the horrible condition which the last heavy rain let them. "The advantages to a city from rpads radiating from it are well seen. With the ease of travel only double, the amount of trade would be increased four times. The comparison of the amounts of trade in the two cases is easily made by considering the town or city the center, and drawing circles whose radii represent according to scale tho relative advantages of the roads. The areas of these represent the comparative amounts of tiade. If a town is the market for wheat or cotton, and its feeding roads are so im proved that the same wheat or cotton can be hauled three or four times as far, its trade will be manifestly in creased nine to sixteen times. This supposes a uniform population and no competition from other towns. Even the latter factor as pointed out by Prof. Jenks, in his "Road Legisla tion for the American States," intro duces another decided advantage to the farmer in giving him the choice of markets and he can thus command the situation. When one town knows that it is impossible on account of roads for the farmers to take their cotton or grain elsewhere, it is natural that the town should ofl'er the lowest price of the market; but when the possibility of the farmers going to some other market confronts them, it is very likely that the highest prices will be offered. "The farmers, too, get the benefitof thecompetition thus brought about between rival towns in the lowering of the price of goods which they must buy, with often times an increase of those they must sell." Some years ago an estimata was made in Berlin to ascertain how much an improvement in their pavements and roads would save annually per horse. After many observations it was found that this was over $25. In other words, the people were paying that much per annum for not im proving their streets. Prof. Ely, of . , t r i it l. . 1 .tonus nopKina university, uuuss that a conservative estimate for Mary land and the adjoining States would be This mans that the farmer is paying each year $15 per hoise for the privilege of unas bad roaas I l his is the toll road, in every flense of the word. Every bad road in the country is a toll road, that exacts more tax than th Annual gate fees would amount to on a turnpike. The State of Texas has no provision in her laws for toll roads, but hire they are, without any legislation on tho subject. How long will the farmers of Texas pay . this toll? Let us take the estimate of Prof. Ely and see what it means for us here in Texas. We will confine our calculations to the more populous counties of the State. Itis a fact that many of our horses in our oldest coun ties are range horses, and it is another fact that this estimate of $15 was not made for a black waxy region. To be within the safest of safe bounds let us say $5. If the reader will glance at the annexed table, in which the head ings will sufficiently exp'ain them selve's, it will give us an idea (although a rough one) of how much our poor roads are costing us. 1 lie data are taken from Commissioner Foster's "Texas Agricultural and Statistical Report" for 188U : County.

WEEKLY KEVIEW, General Statement of the Condition of the Business of the Com. try. -New Yoke, May 2. R. G. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of fade says the outlook for the industries and legitimate trade is dis tinctly less favorable, owing to the damage to wheat and cotton and labor distur bances. Special cotton reports from Memphis indicate the planting of 27 per cent, against 82 per cent, at this time last year, unfavorable in 533 out of 608 returns. Material injury from too much ram and an extensive loss irom floods. Ihe Galveston cron reports are also gloomy because of too much rain, and St. Louis reports unfavorable on account of the weather, while the markets at Chicago have been inliuenced by information of the inquiry to wheat. The general average of prices is nearly 1 per cent lower than a week ago. Notwithstanding a ri9e of in wheat due to reports of inquiry exports both of wheat and Hour continue large. Corn made no advance durincr the week. and oats declined c. .Hogs were 10c per ino pounds lower, but pork and lard were advanced a little by speculation and oil rose 3c. Cotton rose 3 16c. Coffee was unchanged. Raw sugar cid not change but crushed advanced c. Reports from other cities are generally favorableas to the volume of business, and bank clearings show an increase over last year of 10 per cent At Boston wool is stronger on some grades that are scarce and a better demand is seen sales reaching 2,900,000 pounds, and yet no improvement whatever is detected in the market for goods there or here. The difficulties in the clothing trade do not abate and the apprehension of more failures causes uneasiness in this and other cities. Money has not been disturbed this week. There is much less complaint of slow collections throughout the Northwest, but considerable in some lines at Phila delphia, Boston and New York. lood crops and large sales of farm products have made things comparativelv easier at the West, but the effects of two successive open winters were felt in the Kastern markets. Exports of all products from New York are 18 per cent below last year's for April, while imports have shown an increase of 18 per cent facts which indicate the heavy excess of imports over exports for that month Business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven ilayB are 211, as compared with 218 last week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 214. The Oklahoma Bill. Guthrie, I. T., May 2. Another very im portant error has been discovered here in thf Oklahoma bill in section 21 alluding to the commutation olause. It reads as printed in the bill and copies of the Congressional Record received here as follows: "Within the limits described in the President's proclamation of April 1. 1890." The uresi- dent issued no proclamation on that date relating to the onenine of Oklahoma or nnv other subject. The proclamation referred to was issued on April 2, is9. This error will probably further delay the passage of the bill. It is not so much tho nigh price as the high bottoms of the boxes that make the strawberries blush.
