TUB PENAL LAWS.
Tho number of murdera that make
up the record of Christmas doings In
Texas in a strong appeal to the Judges
andJurieBof the state to execute the
criminal law more rigidly. One thing
is true of Texas, and that is that any
mau who caret to live above and out
aide of the erlmina": classes need fee)
no apprehension for his personal
eafety, for it is a very rare thing that
such men are ever aisturoea
The killing as a general
thing Is onfined both In the
actors ' and victims to me
criminal classes. There seems to be
a kind o' concensus of respect among
them for peaceable citl-iiS that as
sures such citizens exemption from all
brawls with them. H is true they
have very little compunction oi-hesitancy
in shooting down one ol their
own kind, but it must be at the point
of extraoidlnary provocation before
they dare attack a reputable and
peaceable citizen.
Of course If such men are
allowed to dominate even thoir
own class with the knife or pistol
an Innocent and repuluble citizen
may be a victim to their drunkeH
rage and although us a general thing
the men killed us well as tho men
killing could be well spared in any
orderly community, the fact that
they occasionally travel beyond these
bounds makes swift and condign pun
ishment necessury.
It is a fact that while acquittals tor
murder are too frequent in Texas it
cannot be attributed so much to the
lack of penal enuctments upon the
statute books us It Is to two other oth
er causes. The first cause is that Texas
has a bar of the very shrewdest
lawyers that can be found anywhere,
and the second Is that the decisions of
the court of appeals have been leaning
time and again to a liberal and merci
ful construction of the criminal law
until it Is almost Impossible to try a
case in which a keen lawyer does not
find some loophole by which the ver
dict iu the court below is set adde and
the case remanded lor a new trial. In
this way the lawyers for the
defence, sustained in appeal
after appeal, worry the district court
and the dUtrlet uttorney into an
Indifference on the subject that gen
erally results In an abandonment of
an attempt to convict.
It is not meant that the court of ap
peals leans toward the accused, but
they are really hampered by ko many
precedents that the law itself lesns
towards the accused. In this respect
some amendments to the criminal law
have become absolutely necessary to
freo the state from crime. Doubtless
if the members of the court of ap
peals were consulted by the mem
bers of tho legislature they
would ma Re the n.ost valuable
suggestions lu fact this ought to be
wllhlu the duty ol the bar associations
but It would perhaps be asking too
much for these gentlemen to furnish
the means by which they themselves
would be defeated. Ali any rate, if
the law Is auy way inefficient from
any cause it is high time that It was
so amended as not to let any guilty
man escape.
Thk six year term for the United
States presidency is advocated very
generally with a prohibition clause iu
regard to a president succeeding him
self. The election of a (resident every
four vears Is very expi nslve but it is
certainly educational. The fre
quent campaigns are soliojls
of political economy to which our
people are Indebted for their intelli
irent understanding of our form of
government and its policy.
The English language Is spoken by
,100,000,000 people, double the number
who speak any other language, possi
bly except the Chinese. The French
comes next and then comes the rough
but melodious gutterals of the Uer
mans. The Italian Is eald to be the
im.it melodius language, its syllables
being adapted to the greatest variety
of musical noteB and exquisite tones.
A few Texas statesmen are said to be
adepts iu the fine Italian hand.
Capt. Bourke while in Washing
ton described the ' revolutionary
classes on our southern border very
accurately. He said they were ene
mies of both the American and Mexl
can governments. When asked what
they raised he said they sometimes
raised a few beanB, but generally
raised more trouble than anything
else. He said the Rio Graude valley,
which they inhabit, was very fertile
and when subjected to the right kind
of civilization would be very produc
tive of cotton and the cereals. It
would be a great blessing to Texas if
Its Mexican banditti were all caught
and hung and thus leave room for in
dustrious citizens.
Mil. CLEVELAND OPPOSES MUHPIIY.
Mr. Cleveland in his open, frank
and honest way has taken the bull by
the horns. It is announced eimultane
ously in the New York World an
ad-
Times that Mr. Cleveland has
ex-
pressed his opposition to the election
of Edward Mumbv to the United
H; ate senate from New York. This
1 is,
of course, a defiance to Tammany, b
but
it is not the first time that Mr. Cleve
land has defied Tammany. During
the campaign when some ol its rep
resentatives demunded certain con
cessions to the Tammany bosses from
Mr. Cleveland as the condition of the
support of the powerful machine in
New York, he emphatically declined
and threatened to publish the whole
thing. Tammany "took water," as
machine politicians will always do
under the menace of an honest politic
ian. Mr. Murphy's political methods are
ouite dissimilar to those of Mr. Cleve-
luid and he was perfectly right In de
claring hostility to the man and his
methods, lie would have been untrue
to the Democratic party and to the
gn at stale of New York if he had
been silent and permitted one in
whom he had not the most implicit
c uitliience to repres nt his state in the
United States senate. Murphy is re
garded as a second class politician
and has arrived at a little eminence
by short cuts of doubtful political
ethics and does not by any means
either in ability or moral stamina
measure up to the standard of a sena
tor Irom any slate especially from a
state of such vast and diversified in
terests as that of New York.
Tammany has domineered the poli
tics of New York too long but now the
"tiger" has found its master. It has
been a useful beast sometimes but it
has sadly needed a keeper to control
its rapaaity and govern its inordinate
appetite lor public pap. This should
settle Mr. Murphy'd hash and insure
New York a representation in the
senate of the United Htates by an all
round, first class mau worthy of the
high position. Tammany may make
a fight but in all probability it will
be a losing game. The bluff has not
succeeded and It wlli have to hold a
strong hand to win against an admin
istration so popular as that of Cleve
land's promises to be.
The probabilities are that New
York will send to the seuate a man of
sufficient national character and abil
ity to hold up the hands of the presi
dent. In fact that much ought to be
yielded to Mr. Cleveland. He needs
a warm friend and a strong man in
the senate from his own state and if
Tammany is capable of a graceful
thing the best thing it could do would
be to aid lu giving him the man he
wntitfwl
Mr. Dana of the New York Suu, has
been BUinrested. but it is doubtful
whether lie would give up his poci
tion on a great daily newspaper for
anv other place iu the gift of the peo
pie, but if he could be induced to take
It, New York would be ably repre
sented iu the senate and Mr. Cleve
lund would have a friend there upon
whose intelligence and integrity he
could rely.
AUSTIN'S NEW YEAR
As each individual this morning
makes his resolves, lays his plans for
the new year, is it not appiopriate to
inquire what of Amtln in 1803? And
who can say to what length an an
swer to such question may not go?
Austin has long been in a formation
condition, but more especially has
this been true of her during the last
two years. In these two years she has
been engaged lu an enterprise whose
mammoth proportions have attracted
the attention not only of all Texas but
of the great Union of states. She
has budded broad and deep the
foundations of what she be
lieves will prove t
marvellously successful manufactur
ing and commercial future she this
year will be ready to begin to reap
whereof she has sown. Can anyone
tell what will be her measure of sue
cess this year? That it will be less
than in the years to come is without
question, (for such stu pendous growths
must of necessity be coinptratlvely
slow) but that It will surpass ourpres
ent business calculations The States
man does not for a moment doubt
Aud with the results from the dam
beginning to come iu in a practical
and encouraging shape, what of their
effects upou Austin's commercial aud
business life? Will not this most cer
taiuly prove the most successful busi
ness year in all Austin's hiBtoiy? We
firmly believe it.
Of Austin's future socially and as
an education center, there can be no
doubt in anyone's mind. Remarka
bly blessed as being the most beautl
ful reeideuce city in the South aud
the most healthy; with the State
University located here, and other
schools of the highest excellence to
supplement our perfect system of pub
lic schools, there chii be no question
of Austin's growth in the two lines
indicated.
And what of Austin politically? It
Is here that Austin sustains a dual
and most delicate relation. She has
her own local affairs to regulate with
out regard to any other city or an y
part of the state at large. This
Is due us a her citizens, and
as citizens of a state and
Union which guarantee individual
liberty, aud a government, whether
local, state or national, "of, for and by
the people." Yet, while this is true,
in regulating our own local affairs we
come in touch with the state govern
ment as no other city in the state
does. Hut there is and has been no
lash between the city and state gov
eruments. Each exercising its own
functions their lines of conirol have
nicely dovetailed, and the result has
been a most harmonious progress.
May such a happy condition of affairs
long continue to exist.
But Austin has not only its local
government to carry on; as an integral
part of Texas it has a great duty to
the state to perform. From a purely
selfish standpoint, as a capilat
city has so much Irorn
the very necessities of the
case, the conditions surrounding it, to
expect from ihe state, it might be urg
ed that such capital cities should take
no part in state politics. But what
does that position mean? That a man
must yield up his citizenship not
merely to a general desire for gain,
but to that desire as expressed in a
most craven, cringing spirit of aspir
ing not as free born men to a right or
favor, but as crawling in a whelpish
mood to lap the crumbs that drop from
a state's plentifully stored table.
What self respecting state would care
for such citizens? What self respect
ing state administration would care
for the goodwill of such citizens?
Austin is not made up of such and
she aud the state are the
better off for it. Her citizens
in times past have seen fit to differ
with several administrations, aud
in the campaign or the old year were
opposed to Governor Hogg's re-election.
It was their right to bo form
and express their opinion. That
opinion did not agree with the veidlct
of a majority of the people and Gov
ernor Hogg has been re-elected. That
settled the past now what of the
future? The heat of the campaign is
over, its animosities and bitter feel
ings should be buried with the old
year that died last night. In a few
days James S. Hogg will be reinaugu
rated governor of Texas and, Austin is
its capital city. As governor ol
Texas. Austin owes him the same
courteous, considerate and good fel
lowship treatment that has been due
and extended all the state's govern
ors; we owe his administration a gen
uine support so far as the same in ac
tion does not conflict with our
sense of right and justice to
the state, if that liue should be un
fortunately passed, as good citizens
we owe it an open and fearless oppo
sition. But that is of the future, aud
a luture The Statesman sincerely
hopes will not come to pass.
But what of the present? Governor
Hogg in his campaign as honestly
differed with us as we with him. But
is not that of 1892? Our duty now is
to welcome him and his new admin
istration into the year of 1893; aud
a8 the contest was exceptionally bit
ter, so should the welcome be excep
tionally hospitable. The people o
Austin should give biin an inaugura
of unsurpassed brilliancy and the
legislature about to convene should be
received with every mark of atten
tion aud consideration. The state has
borne witness to our zeal aud chivdry
in battle, aud now that in a clear sky
the Hag of peace is unfurled and floats
in the purple and clear light within
the gaze of a reunited people, let us
wreath its standard with the gar
lands of hope and hospitality, (he
trophieB of a cultured and queenly
city. Let Austin, great in all that is
refined in home life, drilled in the
school of letters, brave in carving out
with heroic blows her business aud
commercial future, set up before the
people of Texas, even as she is lifted
aloli on the bosom of her thousand
hills, a spectacle of political loyalty to
the state that will crown us with an
other gem of glory and inspire all
others to emulate such wholesome ex
ample. Signalizing the New Year
day with an emblem of such an inten
tion flung from the battlements of our
outer wall, and with our other bless
ings following along in rapid train,
then haopy, thrice happy will Austin
be in the culmination of good things
accomplished in the glorious year just
dawned the year of 1893.

SUPT. KENDALL'S REPORT.
EXCELLENT SHOWING OF THE DEAF
AND DUMB INSTITUTE.
Increased Attendance Provided For More
Comfortably Than Ever and Advance
ment in studiei Exceptionally Bapid.
The Industrial School!.
The report of 8upt. W. A. Kendall
of the State Deaf and Dumb Institu
tion, has found its way to The
Statesman's table. The pamphlet
was printed and bound entirely by
the pupils of the institution and is the
neatest typographically, o! the reports
thus far issued. The advancement
made by the pupils in all departments
is succinctly told by the superintend
ent. To His Excellency J. S. Hogg.Governor of Tex:
Bik In obedience to the require
ments of law, I herewith submit my
annual report for the pa-t year, it be
ing the thirty-sixth in the history of
this institution.
We are brought under renewed ob
ligations to a beniflcent providence for
another year of health cud uninter
rupted prosperity. No contagious dis
eases or serious sickness of auy kind
has afflicted the school, nor has the
institution at any time in its history
enjoyed a greater degree of prosperity.
The unprecedented increase in
p'ipilage has necessitated correspond
ing increase of labor and responsi
bility, but each in their sphere has
proven themselves equal to the etnei
gency, aud everything has moved
peacefully along without murmer or
complaint from any source. The of
ficers and teachers, by untiring zaal
aud industry, have so well performed
their respective duties that no discord
or dissension has at any time inter
fered with the onward progress of the
school. And the health, progress and
happiness of the pupils are the re
wards of duty faithfully performed.
The personnel of the school has
had but lew changes. Miss Kinney
resigned at the close of the last sea
slon, married and left Immediately lor
Detroit, her luture nome. vve parted
with Miss Kinney with regret, but
console ourselves with the reflection
that our loss was fully compensated
bv the jrain ol the gentleman who
was so fortunate as to gain her heart
and baud. Prof. Scott, late fellow in
the National college, und graduate of
Oxford University, takes her place in
the classroom. Miss Susie Mood and
Miss Carrie Sleugall have been en
gaged to takj charge of the two new
classes organized since the date of my
last report. Aiiss Alma llastian takes
the place of Miss Moss as nionitrr?',
and W. S. Blue as monitor, iiuteud of
Mr. Crockett.
My last report showeu au enroll
ment of 23, which increased during
the session to 247. We had at same
dale an actual attendance of 95
which increased during the sessson to
207. By reference to the roll herewith
submitted you will find that we have
enrolled 'lib, with an actual attend
ance ot -05, which would be much
greater but for the tact that a greater
number of our pupils are kept at home
to assist iu gathering the crop than
usual; but they are earning in slowly,
and from the number who we expect
to return, with applications on iile lor
new ones, we expect to reach at least
225 during the session. The increase
in our school is phenomenal; far ex
ceeding in increase any other school
for tbe deaf iu the United btates.
At the date ot my last report we
had not sufficiently tested the ca
pacity of our steam and water pipes to
know whether they were sufficient for
the increased demands upon them
made ueo ssary by the iucrease in the
size of the building, which on trial we
found to be insufficient; but during
vacation we replaced the small pipps
by larger ones, and we now have
adequate power to meet all demands.
Our industrial departments are all
doing well ami the pupils assigned to
each are making satistactory progress.
The products of our
FARM AND GARDEN
abundantly pays for the money in
vested, as Is evidenced by au abun
dant supply of vegetables during
spring and summer, and the hay with
which our barn is stored is sufficient
for all stock during the year.
the printing office.
being thrown on its own resources by
an act ot the last legislature abolish
ing the state printing office, it was
predicted by some and fondly hoped
for by others, that the deaf, if lelt to
themselves, could do nothing, but
both have been sadly disappointed, as
the progress under the direction of
the expert was more rapid, the work
better than when their labors were
mixed with hired speaking printers.
Being held responsible for their work
without anyone else to blame for fail
ure, or the danger of being cheated
out of their reward for success by
credit being given to the state print
ing office which it was alleged did
all the work they had au incentive
never known before, aud the work
done by them proves most conclus
ively that the assertions of those who
contended that the deaf could not be
come good printers were badly mis
taken, grossly ignorant, or maliciously
unjust. Tbe Mute Ranger (monthly)
aud the Juvenile Hanger (weekly)
have been issued regularly, greatly
improved mechanically and the circu
lation greatly increased. These to
gether with a large amount of state
work, are the evidences adduced in
proof of our oft repeated assertion that
the deaf were pre-eminently fitted for
the profession.

The following, though a small por
tion of the work tun ed out. gives an
idea of the class of printing done: Two
editions of the constitution of the s' ate
of Texas, two reports of tbe Deaf and
Dumb asylum, three orders lor state
treasurer's warrauts, a short history
of Texas, report of Mate revenue
agent, proclamation of the governor to
the Twenty-second legislature, report
of com u ittee appointed to investigate
receivership of the International and
Great No' them railroad
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the printing office has paid all
expenses, including salary ot expert
and a margin lelt to the credit ot the!
stale.
THE BOOK BINDERY
while defraying all expenses, as wil
be seen by reference to the lollowiud
statement by the expert, has by reas
ou ot ire abolishment of the state
printing office, been greatly restrict
ed in its operations, as the character
of pi luting now done by us does noir
require the same skill in the bindery
as that originully furnished by thti
state printiug board. We hope, howl
ever, to keep this department on A
self-sustaining basis.

THE CARPENTER SHOP.
The expert and lorce under him,
when not engaged repairing build
ings and furniture, find employment
making usetul articles of furniture for
the use of the Institutiou, such as
sates, desks and wardrobes, the cost
of which would, if purchased, far ex
ceed the cost of their manufacture by
us; and while not employing as great
a number of boys as there are iu other
branches, it is as important as any.
It is well mttnagtd aud indispeusable.
ART DEPARTMENT.
This department continues to be a
vrry attractive feature of the Institu
tion tud is certainly as prolific ol good
results as auy other. One of our pu
pils, who graduated in 1890, is doing
gnnd business in portraiiure. Anoth
er, who graduated at the same time,
has become a teacher of drawing and
is doing well.
ARTICULATION.
As a means of improving defective
speech aud training the pupils in lip
reading, the articulation department
is an ludespensible adjunct to the
school. Without it children who
have lost their hearing, would by as
sociation with the deaf, forget how to
talk; but by daily drill in this depart
ment many ot them will be able to
communicate orally in after life; when
without it, recourse would of necessity
be had to slate and pencil to make
themselves understood by those not
acquainted with si?ns.
THE LITERARY DEPARTMENTS
are doing well and to them all must
look tor thorough education.
Single methods do well in isolated
cases and to them we concede great
benefits to tho deaf, especially those
who are not congentially deaf. But
all such are only aids to the accom
plishment of a great purpose, and
when combined with others, the de
sired end is reached, and in no other
way. Thus by combining articula
tion, lip-rending, manual spelling and
sigus, the education of the deaf can be
made thorough and complete'. To this
etid tbe energies of oar teachers are
bent, all iu harmony, each method
conceding to the other an equal share
ol efficiency.
Our graduating class this year will

one1 young gentleman while a good

The kindergarten class recently es
tablished, bids lair to become an im
portant factor in the early training ol
the children. The simple methods
adopted in this class to give Utile be
ginners an idea of letters appeals
more readily to their obscure intel
lects than any other; and the interest
evinced by them is the best evideuoe
of its utility as a method of instruc
tion. The indsutrial departments have
assigned to each as follows: Printing
office, 24; book bindery, 12; painting
and drawing, 22; shoe shop 13; car
penter shop, 6. The -foregoing does
not conflict with the literary work, to
which every other pursuit is made
subordinate, but pupils are assigned
to each respectively so as not to intr
ferewith class work. And as the
same rule applies to articulation, tbe
number is also given, 43. These are
divided into 8 classes, according to
grade and knowledge of language.
Others, having no adaptability to any
trade, assist iu general work, while
an army of little fellows keep the yard
clear of litter.
In my report lor 1887-8 I gave the
per capita cost of education, which in
cluded all ordinary expenses, such as
board, fuel, light, medical attend
ance, salaries of all officers, teachers
and employes, and so much of cloth
ing, transportation, etc., as was paid
by the state, as follows, viz:
Per capita annual cost $17" 73
Per capita monthly cost t 19 74
Per capita dully cost 66
A careful estimate made upon the
same basis show s tbe following singu
lar coincidence at this date:
Per capita annual cost i $177 75
Per capita monthly cost t. j9 75
Per capita dally cost . 66
and all of the intervening years are as
near the same as the fluctuations in
the price of supplies, etc., will allow.
Thus it will be seen that the cost of
deaf-mute education is but little more
than a fair price for board and lodg
ing, and the charge of Increased ex

In Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, a safe, certain,
and speedy relief. It soothes the larynx,
allays inflammation, strengthens the voice,
and for whooping cough, croup, sore throat,
and the sudden colds to which children
are exposed, this preparation is without
equal.
William H. Quartly, Auctioneer, Minla

an auctioneer, any affection of the voice or
throat is a serious matter; but, at each
attack, I have been
BENEFITED BY
a few doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
This remedy, with ordinary care, has worked
such magical effect that I have suffered
very little inconvenience."

Second Authorize the introduction
into the common schools of the man-'
ual alphabet, so that tbe social rela
tions between the deaf and hearing
children may be improved no that ex
tent that they can converse without
recourse ts the old tedious method of
slate aud pencil. This can be done
without auy further expense than a '
card continuing tbe manual alphabet '
being placed in the hand of each pupil '
in the common scho ls of the country.
The difficulty of communication is not ;
in consequence of the ignorance of the ,
deaf, but in consequence of the ignor
ance of speaking people as to the pe
culiar method ot communication
adopted by the deaf. A difficulty so
easily overcome should, iu my opin
ion, be adopted. :
Third Prohibit the slaughtering .
animals within one mile ot any pub 0
school or institution of learning. lie
am moved to this suggestion b 1
stauding menace to the health of y a
institutiou by slaughter pens tolerathe
iu close proximity to this institution,
to the control of which the law as it
stands seems. inadequate.
Fourth and last. Applications for
admission of imbeciles and idiots to
this institution are becoming so '
numerous, that I believe some provi- j
slon should be made for those unfor
tunates, aud would respectfully sug
gest tbe establishment of an asylum
for the feeble-minded. t

every thing deserving the attention of
your excellency, I desire to express ,
