INFLUENCE VS. JUSTICE.
Nearly every one who lias visited
Washington city in the last thir
rty
out
Tears either knows or knows auo
"Billy" McGarrahan. He has for
auarter of a ceutury been in that clt
a
y
pushing claim against ttio govern
ment for more than a million dollars.
The bill allowing him to adjudicate
the claim nassed cormrt-ss aud was ve
toed by Mr. Harrison on the ground
that the governinc-nt could not be
rironeriv renresented before the court
r a
of claims, aud It went back the other
day to congress and lacked a few votes
of passing over the president's veto
The old man when told of it burst
into tears, aud when Mends tried to
console him with the hope that 1
would have better luck with the nex
conKre.-s lie said, "I am not thinkii
about that, 1 am thinking of where
will Ret my supper." He has been
living on borrowed money lor years.
He Went there a young man full of
hope that his claim would
be settled In thirty . days,
aud ' thirty years have
frosted his losks. He is now old and
feeble and without hope.
Tliis is but one of a thousand such
ad tragedies that are enacted in the
caoital city. His claim has alway
been thought to be a perfectly jiiMt
one, as many others are, but they are
little thought of in the whirl of politi
cal ambition and nearly all of such
men die in Washington and are either
buried by friends or fill a pauper's
(jrave. The moral in, never try to col
lect a claim against tlie government.
The state may do it, but i.n Individual
rarely. If, however, you have a father
in the senate it is all right. On tiie
same day that the senate reglected
poor Billy McOarrahan's claim the
senate passed a bill relieving John
Sherman, jr., from a just obligation of
a few hundred d diars due the govern
ment in his official capacity. Ob,
shame, where Is thy sting?
THE COUiMlllAN EXPOSITION
AITHOI'ltlATION.
The Kentucky legislature after
many and immense efforts has over
come the constitutional objection and
made an appropriation of $100,01)0 to
show off the resources of that state at
the Columbian Exposition. The arti
cle In the Texas constitution that pro
hibits appropriations for immigration
purposes was meant to free the state
from the land agent cormorants who
sought aid under the Davis govern
ment for that purpose and used the
money for their individual benefit.
In order to properly const rue a con
stitutional provision the intent of the
fraiuers of that article in the constitu
tion must be taken into consideration.
Now was it the intent of the members
of the constitutional convention to
prevent the legislature from making
an appropriation for the World's Fair?
Certainly Mot, for the World's Fair
had not been thought of at
that time, but let us give a
few '".hypothetical cases. A father
says to his daughter: "1 positively
forbid yon to dress in such a manner
ax to exc ite admiration." Would it be
fair when the girl wanted a new ilre-s
for the lather to refuse to buy her one
on tlis ground it would be a violation
of his command? Agaiu, a father says
to his sou: I will give you $10,000 to
(to into business, but you must, engage
In a legitimate business." The son
Amis he can buy a thousand bushels of
wheat at 75 cents a bushel, aud knows
he cau sell it at $1 a buhel, would he
be prohibited from purchasing the
wheat?
A geutleman discovers a gold mine
on his farm an 1 sells it with the pro
viso, that the purchasers shall uot
invite immigration to the state, would
that prevent the purchasers from ex
hibiting the gold takeu from the mine
in order to form a company to work
it?
Everyone of these illustrations might
be exteuded "ad infinitum," aud all
of them would go to illustrate that
there is no princip'o legal or moral
violated in making an appropriation
so that Texas might exhibit her re
sources at the world's fair. The seo
tlou in the constitution was only ill
tended to preveut a set of carpetbag
sharpers from bleeding the treasury
of Texas.
Here is a thing involving the inter
est aud pride of the whole state of
Texas. Her people are anxious that
the world shall kuow that the state is
ab resist iu the procession iu all things
that go to make up a great state, aud
because of a special provision of the
constitution that was uot meant to
confine the efforts of Texas to any
pent up Utiea, the strict construction
ists, forsooth, declaie that Texas dares
not hold up its hand iuthi great com
petition of the products of the world.
This great school of nations must meet
and go home knowiug about every
other section of the habitable globe
but Texas. What a shame aud what
a miserable pretext to keep this great
state in the back ground, absolutely
hidden as much as China was before
her ports were entered by the navies
of the world, with her immense bound
aries and-splendid domain blotted
from the map of the world. If there
was a constitutional provision directly
and positively against this appropria
tion, it could only spring from ignor
ance aud prejudice aud would be un
worthy of consideration by an enlight
ened people but. there is no such .in
hibition aud the construction that is
given to the section of the
constitution that it is claim
ed prohibits it, is the most
forced construction that ever was
given to auy paragraph in any consti
tution. Forced constructions will do
very well when a thing is obji ctionft
able or injurious, but to resort to forc
ed construction to defeat a mea-uie in
which every man, womau and child iu
Texas is intensely interested is an ab
surd aud foolish tiling, unworthy of a
popular assembly with the intelligence
of the members of the Texas legisla
ture, (iovernor Hogg had sufficient
scruples on the subject to call the at
tention of the legislature to that sec
tion of the constitution, but Governor
Hogg is not infallible, and no man
ought to lie more pleased than he to
see his objection overcome by the leg
islative bod v.
Tllli SUUAll BONUS.
The state of Texas has been robbed
of bun lreds of thousands of dollars by
the bonus paid to the eastern manu
facturers through the robber tariir aud
the state of Texas has the moral as
well as the legal right to accept the
sugar bounty without compromising
its position on this question. Iu fact,
the governor has no right to refuse
the $88,000 due the people of Texas on
any sentimental idea of our opposition
to the principle of the bonus.
If the governor was the guardian of
minor children and the court decided
they were entitled to $88,003 of an es
tate, would he have any moral or
legal right to refuse to take it for
them because he did not believe they
were morally entitled to it? Certainly
not, and hid only duty in this matter
is to receive the money due the state
under the law. He has no judicial
rights in the matter, and is beting as
the agent of the state and iot the
Judge as to the propriety of the state
receiving the bounty.
The refusal of Texas to receive her
portion of the bounty does not in the
least effect the United Htates in dis
tributing it; nor would her acceptance
of it in the loast effect the legal or
moral right of the United Htates to
pay such bonus. An executive of a
state is not empowered to execute the
laws of the United Htates, but of his
own particular stale, and it Texas has
no law forbidding the receipt of this
bonus, is uot our executive transcend
ing bis duties and powers when he
attempts to forbid Texas to receive it?
Now Texas must accept her national
Democratic principles from national
Democratic sources. Our congress
has spoken on this question, it tenders
us this sugar bonus, and can we go
behind those returns any more than
we can the action of our national con
vention? Ou the same principle that
this bonus Is rejected, a governor of a
state might refuse to let the direct
tax due citizens of his state, come iuto
its borders tor distributiou among
them. We think both would lie bad
politics and wretchedly had business.
It is a matter about which the legis
lature should give a decided expres
sion at this time.
M. Bakuouxoi counsel lor the de
fense in the Indictment ol eminent
Frenchmen charged with frauds on
the Panama canal, in his eloquent
speech described the prosecution as
political and implored the jiry not to
permit meu of high character to be
injured for party purposes. Iu speak
lug of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, he
said, "Ho keen was his sense of honor
that after appearing before the uiagis
trate at the opening of the inquiry he
was overwhelmed. For two mouths
he had not left hit bed and during
that time he had not uttered a word.
Had the great Frenchman been able
to appear iu court the whole audieuee
would have riseu to salute the glory
of his fame." For nearly three quar
ters of a century M. de Lesseps has
been the best known French
man. His fame has not been confined
to his own country, but wherever
science has made Us mark he has
been known as a great and good man,
and It is with sorrow that the world
contemplates his complicity In these
frauds and with a sincere hope that
he will go to his grave free of re
proach. THE VOTION CROP.
A. B. Hhippersou in his edition of
"I'ottou Facts," compiled from oftlcial
and other sources, puts the maximum
of the commercial cotton crop of 1892
03 at 6,500,000 bales. Adding to this
the stocks in British, c ntinental and
American ports Aug. 31, 1892, Mr.
Hhippersou makes the grand total sup
ply of American cotton to Aug. 1,
1893, 8,484,000 bales, and estimates the
World's requirement of cottou at
8,461,000 bales, substantially the same
as the supply.
"Cotton Facts" gives a statement
from Col. L. D. Hutchison of Hams
county, Georgia, of the cost of the
production of 200 bales of cottou
AUSTIN WEEKLY 81 ATEBfllAN,
weighing 100,000 pounds gross on 500
acres of laud. The cost for the whole,
including labor, seed, fertil.zer, rent,
repairs, wear and tear of Implements,
etc., he puts at $7785. This Is credited
with $720 for C000 bushels of seed cot
tou at 12 cents per bushel, leaving the
net cost at $7005 or 7.06 cents per
pound. This calculation was made
for the season of 1891-02. The
largest item of cost of production
is for fertilizers $1,340, which is not
needed in Texa, and which the Texas
planter can add to his profits. Not
withstanding this ihe cost of produc
tion last season was anove the price
realized, and ti e ineteaf-e -if $10 a bale
this year can be fairly attributed to
lha fial of futures by the New York
Cotton Exeiiau.e.
The bill to prohibit the employ
ruuut of Piukoilon's detectives is a
very proper thing to pass. Texas Is
fully able to protect her citizens aud
enforce b r laws. The organization of
an army of fifty or a hundred or a
thousand men by any outside author
ity to bring them into the state to
force workiugmen to submit to
the arbitrary diclatiou of corpora
tions U obnoxious to every sentiment
of a free people. We want none of
Finkerton and his hired army of assas
sins to invade Texas as they did
Homestead, Pa., to shoot down Ihe
operatives in auy factory. We do not
believe in the right of workingmeu to
take possession of auy manufactory,
as they did at Homestead; otherwise
we believe the state owes Its protec
tion to every branch of industry and
to all corporations, but the state of
Texas has an arm strong enough to
insure the execution of the laws with
out the intervention of foroign uier
cenaries of Mr. Pinkerton or any one
else.
The scenes that were witnessed
here Christmas of the distribution ot
food, fuel and clothing to the poor by
means of The Statesman Christmas
fund lor the poor are being re-enacted
on a much larger scale iu the cities
within the extreme cold belt. The
cold has beeu more intense thau it has
been for years, the thermometer as
far south as Louisville, Ky., standing
for days at 10 degrees below zero.
It is very gratifying to kuow that
charity is a growing feeling and
practice. Whon suffering appears
from any cause the hearts and purses
of the rich are open for relief the
harriers of society are brokeu down,
"the rich mau helps the poor and the
poor man loves the rich." We fre
quently hear of the good old times
when there was not so much selfish
ness in the world that is all hum
bug there was more selfishness then
in proportion to population thau there
is now, and there is more charity, ac
cording to population now than there
was then. The world is growing bet
ter and kinder every year as we are
annually nearing nearer and nearer
the millennium, when selfishness will
have nowhere to rest its feet and
when the broadest aud most liberal
philanthropy will link the world to
gether in a common bond of alTection,
forming a golden chain binding the
holiest hopes of mau to the heavenly
throne of an eternal God.
That little Democratic victory iu
Illinois has s t things all in a flutter.
The newly elected Democratic auditor,
Mr. ('lore, did not find any books in
the Republican predecessor's office
showing the disbursmeuts in tbe in
surance department. He called cm
Gen. Pavey, the ei-auditor,and asked
him for the books, but the general got
all in a flutter and refused to turu
over any of the books, claiming that
they contained an account of the dis
disburstneut of public fuud?, were his
private property aud not the state's.
Even the books of Gen. Pavey's Re
publican predecessor, which were in
the oilloe up to the time tho general
turned It over to Mr. Gore, were miss
ing. It is stated that when Gen.
Pavey took possossiou of the auditor's
office he was in embarassed circum
stances aud that he retires a very rich
mau. Whether made rich by legiti
mate fees is a matter yet to be decided,
as Mr. Gore has placed the matter in
the hands of the attorney general. It
looks right scaly for Pavey. It Is a
good thing to turn out an administra
tion occassionally and get the books
into the hands ot a political opponent.
In Georgia, the 19th of January is
kept as o publio holiday in honor of
tbe birth on that day of Gen. R. E.
Lee. "Not," as the Atlanta Constitu
tion says, "simply because he was a
Houtberu man, not because he was a
martial man of victories, not that he
was the embodiment of the passion
aud heroism of the 'lost cause,' is this
exceptional tribute paid aunually to
his memory," but that he was au
American "loyal to its liberties and
aspirations iu their Quest forms."
Why not follow the example of
Georgia in Texas because he was the
embodiment of all that was grand
and noble In manhood, self sicrificiug
iu patriotism, modest and genuine in
all the Christian virtues and the
noblest specimen of American mau-
hood whose foot ever pressed its soil
A part of bis life was spe it In Texas,
then let Texas canonize his great
name.
THURSDAY, JANUARY, 26, 89S
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS
TEXAS.
It is useless to attempt to conceal
the fact that if possible Mr. Mills
would have been beaten for the senate
by most of the very men who held au
exclusive caucus to nominate him.
Mr. Mills' election was from the very
same causes that brought about Mr.
Cleveland's nomination and election.
It was nothing more nor lesB than the
recorded will of the people of Texas
which was recognized by the legisla
ture as paramount t3 all schemes and
ambitions of politicians.
The very men whose affiliations
would indicate opposition to Mills
were the prominent leaders in organ
izing a caucus, in which the Clark
men were given the cold shoulder, to
pominate Mills. After ascertaining it
would be impossible to defeat him,
these men concluded that the next
best thing to do was to play a part by
which they and their friends should
hope to get his influence in carviug
the federal pie for their plates ex
clusively. Aud therefore they held a
caucus at which the Clark men were
snubbed. Mr. Mills will, of course,
understand this and demonstrate that
he is too large a man to be used as a
tool by any section of the Democratic
party for the mere lurpose of spoils.
Mr Mills is also well aware that
the Clark men stood upon the national
platform with him in the demand for
nn lino est dollar, and that some of
these very meu who ostensibly sup
ported him with so much earnestness
yesterday did not agree with him on
that subject, either in his proposition
to make it an isue iu the last canvass,
and he knows that they gener
ally favored a flat dollar. That, how
ever, is not the only thiug for whhjh
that gentleman will be held account
able to the Democracy of Texas. It is
bad enough to seek such a false pre
text to keep up the division in the
Democratic party in Texas, but it is
wpise to attempt to prevent discord in
the party by ignoring men whose De
mocracy is undoubted and whose loy
alty to the Democratic party in all its
principles as represented by Mr. Mills
is unquestioned by all others but
those who seek te keep open the quar
rel between the factions in the state
for personal objects. We had
hoped that there would be too much
seuse in the party to keep alive differ
ences, especially where the minority
which it is attempted to crush .-land
fl it looted in the national Democratic
platform aud the majority does not,
especially upon the silver question.
If it is mere fight for spoils alone we
care nothiug about it, but wedesire to
w aru these gentlemen that they have
no coign of advantage over the minor
ity of the party in any natioual fight
and they might as well make peace
wit'x that minority which has not at
tempted to push the fight. There iB
no reason why the Democratic party of
Texas should not be united but for the
advantage that certain politicians de
sire to take on that division
and to which the Democrats of f exa3
will not submit The party, ou'side
of the prolesslonal politicians, want
peace aud harmony just as much as
they wanted Mr. Mills to be elected
to the United Htates senate and they
will have their will done in one thiug
as they did in the other.
Colonel Ainswortji, who on ac-
onunt of his exceptional ability as an
executive officer, by special act of
congress was put in charge of the
record and pension division of the
war department with tue rank of
colonel, was the other day before the
sub-committee of congress of the ap
propriation committee, aud gave some
interesting information. There was
some talk of putting the pension bu
reau iu the bauds of the army, and
while Colonel Ainsworth said he
would rather not have it on account
of the immense amount of additional
work aud responsibility, he also said
that a commissioner of pensions under
the present system could not properly
administer the office. He had no
authoritj' to remove iucapable or un
worthy clerks. One might come into
his office drunk and kick him, and he
eould not remove him only through
the red tape of the war department,
and not then if he had influential
friends. And he addsd that drunk
ards generally had more influential
friends than the man who stayed iu
the office and attended to his busi
ness.
Judge Nelson of the federal court
has decided that the Chinese exclus.
ion act is unconstitutional. This de
cision may be a slight guide to those
gentlemen who are so desirous to pass
an exclusion act against all emigra
tion to this country.

"I take pleasure iu recommending
your medicines. Tho beuefic I have

about Ave years old I had a long spell
of typhoid fever aud pneumonia.
After I got well I took the luuuing
at the ears, aud for fourteen years l
was almost an invalid. It was so con
tinual and so offensive that I excluded
myself from all society. I could do
nothing, was unfit for manual labor,
and I had almost come to the con
clusion that it be batter if I were
dead. My father consulted seeial
doctors. They said I had an abscess
iu my head. I tried several kinds of
medicines, but they were ol no avail;
s"oT gave it up aud thought it mighr,
be that I would outgrow it. After I
had borne it for lourteen years I
received a pamphlet from Dr. S. B.
Kartmau, entitled 'The Ills of Life.'
i had given up all hope of ever being
cured, but would have tried anything.
I wrote to Dr. Hartmau to know what
he would charge for taking my case
on the insurance. He wrote me that
Ihe remedy was simple aud that s
could cure myself. Alter using $17 00
worth of your remedies I found 1 wa,
entirely cured: I am now as active

could wish to be. The world could

to all as the best medicine sold."
When chronic catarrh passes upthe
eustachian lubes into the middle ear
it sets up an inflammation which is
liable to terminate in suppuration or
the formation ol matter. The matter
accumulates aud presses on the mem
brana lympaui, producing earache,
and in many cases ruptures the ear
drum, whbu the matter escapes out of
the ears externally, generally cabed
running at the ears. Running ears, If
neglected, not only result iu deafness,
but may cause death. In long stand
ing cases the hearing will likely be
impaired, owing to injury ol the deli
cate parts of the ear. It is not always
that chronic catarrh of the miodle ear
produces running ears, but often a
dryness of the mucous lining, which
gives rise to cracking or snapping
sounds, iu some cases a peculiar pres
sure or full teeliug inside tne ear
In recent cases, of not more thau
two years' duration, Pe-ru-na, taken
as directed ou the bottle will effect a
cure in a few weeks or months. The
cure is hastened by gradually increas
ing the do-te recommended ou the bot
tle to a double dose. But cases like
the anovo, where the discharge is of
Jong standing and especially if it in of
a fetid odor, Pe-ru-na should be takeu
according to the directions on the
label uuil ihe system is thoroughly
cleansed, alter which double doses
will complete the cure. I bere need be
no failures to obtain a cure iu a single
case. A cure is within reach of all.
