THE SETTLEMENT OF THE VEN
EZUELAN QUESTION.
Those who admired and applauded
the firm stand taken by Mr. Cleveland
on behalf of the application of the Mon
roe doctriue iu the settlement of the dis
pute between Great Britain and Vene
zuela will be glad to know that the whole
matter iu dispute has been so agreed
upon that a final settlement is inevitable
without detriment to the position taken
by the United States or to the honor of
the direct parties to the dispute, Vene
zuela and Great Britain. It is stated
that when Mr. Chamberlain visited
Washington last summer that he had
frequent conferences with Secretary 01
pey, and that finnlly a basis for the ad
justment of the controversy was settled,
Rnd that Mr. Pauncefote, the British
embassador, who is now en route to this
country, is bringing with him instruc
tions which leave no room for doubt as
to the questions of Dual peaceful set-
England, it is stated, lias maue

OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COURT.
' . .
The entire county commissioners court,
. . . . . , .i...
composed of .. 1. Jourdau of the First
product, G. ( olvin of tne socoiiu pre
cinct, S. F. Nolen of the Third precinct
nnd A. L. Hughes of the I- ourtu. precinct,
nre candidates and nominees for re-election.
These gentlemeu have all served
one term as county commissioners and
their work speaks in louder tones for their
continued preferment than any other
comment that could be made. There is
no more substantial, broader gauged and
intelligent citizen of Travis county than
dipt. J. C. Edgar of Duval. His timely
letter iu last Saturday's issue of The
Statesman on the Biibjeet of politics in
general and the county commissioners
court in particular, struck exactly the
right vein. Travis county needs as her
officers, and especially she needs as her
county commissioners court, men pecu
liarly fitted by nature and acquirement
for the particular duties of the oflice
they aspire to. As dipt. Edgar so well
pointed out and as is kuown of all men
who civo nnv attention to our county af
fairs, this commissioners court have per
formed their duty during their two years
term of office with rare judgment, ability
nnd satisfaction to the whole county.
Road and bridge work lias progressed
excellently and substantially, every uc
tail cominc under the suivorvisiou of the
court has been gone into nnd conducted
with the utmost care and success aud
while this has been done we yet find that
iu spite of the fact that the county af
fairs have been better administered than
ever before, yet the court has also found
opportunity to cut down the county taxes
I'D per cent. This is indeed a most cred
itable showing nnd one that entitles this
court to the united praise of our entire
citizetishin. These four gentlemen.
headed by Comity Judge Mcl'ull, have
given Travis county a siipurb nuuimistra
iion of county affairs. And now when
this united commissioners court offer for
re-electiou and say they nre willing again
to assume the arduous and responsible
duties this office imposes upon them, this
A I K.I
willingness on their part should be hailed
with acclaim by every one. Their re
election should be a foregone conclusion
with the very announcement on their

in
of our citiznship for their excellent con
duct of the county's business we think
cuu not be questioned. With such men
iu oflice and their course tried and found
so eminently satisfactory, we should
grapple them to us with hooks of steel
and make their re-election assured be
yond the peradventure of a doubt. There
nre no more important offices to be filled
nn November 3 than these of county
commissioners, and we earnestly call at-

court to power without a single breal

TWO TEXAS GOVERNORS.
The following is what the Louisville
JLllV AUllvumfe .....
(Ky.) Courier-Journal has to say of tw
Texas governors and aneiit Governor
. . . . , i ti ...i.
f :ii 1 1 iff Kf hi u li:irL'( iiirinst ucn. Due
Culberson's charge against Gen
ner:
Texas is a state magnificent in its re
sources, but unfortunate iu i's selec
tion of governors for the past few years.
During his incumbency of the chief
magistracy Governor lloirg made himself
notorious by his denunciation of rail
roads. As soon as his term expired he
hastened to New York and did his best
to get capitalists to build new lines and
put Texas more thoroughly under the
domination of the corporations he
had previously fought. He explained
his conduct by saying that he had been
retained by his fellow ci tigers to do this
woik, but it was iu stiange taste for
such a great patiiot to aid even a will
ing people to fasten a yoke upon their
necks. The rascally capitalists of Wall
street, it seems, could not distinguish
between Governor Hogg, the tribune of
the people, and Lawyer Hogg, who, in
his professional capacity, apptoached
them in the attitude of I'oo-Bali. seeking
at their hands the bribes which should
eventually stille the free spirit of
Texas. So distrustful were they that
they refused to lay n network of steel
rails over the staked plains, and Citi
zen Hogg returned to the bosom of his
state an avowed populist .once more.
Governor Culberson has not served so
long as Hogg, but he has already ac
quired nearly as much notoriety. It was
lie who hit upon the happy idea of writ
ing to that accomplished financier aud
friend of America, Prince Bismarck, so
liciting his advice as to the president
the American people should elect. The

THE OPENING GUN ON CONFED
ERATE VALOR.
When the doom of defeat settled over
the two small armies that had been main
taining, at fearful odds, the separate na
tionality of the Confederacy against the
uuUillllJ VI nil. vvinimuii.' -
combined forces of a world in anus, mar-
.... .. v . .
L),
mlled under the Union bntltioro. lloth
ing was left to these gallant but weak-
encj nnj decimated bands but the glory
of their achievements nud the nil
perishable honor of heroic bravery and
intrepidity. The surviving soldiers ot
the rnnfederncv could nroudl.V point to
the brilliant galaxy of their leaders and,
touching their own breasts, challenge the
world to show an army in the history of
the annals of war surpassing the armies
of the Confederacy in indomitable cour
age, persistent intrepidity and heroic
achievements.
Their Innrels were embalmed in the
gratitude aud admiration of the women
of the southern states, for its men, with
out execution, were component parts of
those armies. These laurels graced til
secret altars, on which they worshipped,
and garlanded the graves of their heroic
dead, who were buried where they fell,
in the deep tangled wildwood ot the wil
derness, iu the mountain-bound and silent
valleys, on the border of the flowing
streams, their only lullaby the music of
the leaves above the waving grass on
their scant graves. They have no marble
to commemorate their memories. Ther-
innnvhie was the only monument over
the craves of Ix?onidas and his immortal
band of Spartans. The only monument
of these dead heroes of the Confederacy
is the battle names where victory
perched upon their bullet-riddled and
tattered banners. Their memories were
entombed iu the hearts of their surviving
comrades and in the pride of their
offspring iu the glory of their ancestors
Even their callant foes boasted of their
own valor in withstanding and finally
wearing away tne splendid armies ot tne
Confederacy. If there was at any time
nnv nnestinn about n liinn's enuriiL'ii tin
fact that he was a Confederate soldier
was the only mention necessary to dispel
sucu a douot.
lue renown ot these armies is as dear
to every survivor who served in any of
them, from the memory of Gen. Lei
IN WEEKLY STATESM,
down to the last ragged Confederate sol
dier, as their own life. They reasonably
hoped that they could transmit to tneir
sons and daughters the same admiration,
the same proud knowledge of the un
tarnished glories of the Confederate
armies that its survivors would take to
their graves with them. The only
thing they had left was honor, and, nlas,
a native born southerner is the first man
to make a charge against any one of the
heroes of this war. Governor Culberson
of Texas, for partisan purposes, has for
gotten the lesson taught the rising youth
of the south, and, with vandal hand, he
attempts to tear the laurels from the
brow of one of the noblest, bravest and
most self-sacrificing generals of the
southern Confederacy Gen. Simon Boli
var Buckner. The Confederacy is not
now "a cause," it is a memory a senti
ment, one of the dearest and holiest that
possesses the hearts of its survivors. It
may be an idol, but no man can, with
vandal hand, tear down one of these
idols or deface its stalwart manliness
without incurring the condemnation of
every man that loved the Confederacy.
They desired so much to leave the
memory of the gallantry of the aimies
of the Confederacy untarnished to those
who come after them, so that if patri
otic occasion demanded the services of
this generation of southern youth they
might be animated by the recollection
that their fathers went unfliuching
through the ordeal of fire; but that
can not be. A young and accomplished
orator has begun to make war upon the
fame of the Confederates, and as he
has chosen one of the most gallant of its
heroes, the recklessness of the attempt
gives evidence of a deep-seated antipathy
to the survivors of the Confederate
armies. This young man has broken
down the sacred barriers by which they
were surrounded in the hearts of their
countrymen and their countrywomen.
He has impaired that reverence with
which the young regard these venerable
men and who knows how far his per
suasive eloquence will lie used, if it con
tributes to his political interests, to
render these old men a by-word and a
reproach in the estimation of their own
descendants. If this serious blow had
come from an nncieut enemy it would
have been attributed to sectional bitter
ness and gone unchallenged, but it is
much more dangerous as coming from
one to the mauor born and an ostensible
friend.
It carries with it more force to kindle
a lively prejudice against everything
these old patriots regard as sacred,
coming from a son of the south that
they had delighted to honor on account
of the fellow feeling of comradeship
with his father. For the first time after
the lapse of thirty years the Confeder
ate armies and their gallant generals
nnd brave privates need a champion to
enter the list against one of the sons of
the south, Governor Culberson of Texas,
who has opened up a war upon their
claims as the bravest, the best, the
noblest nrmies that ever aiiswered the
beat of the long roll or the blast of the
bugle summoning them to battle.
We have said they need a champion.
We take it back. Their dead needed no
monuments to perpetuate their memo
ries; their living and their dead need no
champion to do battle ill behalf of the
glories of their achievements. Their
deeds are their champions. Thesacr"d
spots of their fallen brave attest their
imperishable renown. They are en
shrined in the memories of all their
countrymen, from the St. Croix river to
the Rio Grande, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, as examples of American
manhood, indomitable endurance, in
exorable intrepidity and untarnishable
honor.

HE ADDRESSED THE LARGEST
THRONGS THAT EVER AS
SEMBLED THERE.
So
Dense Were the Crowds He Also
Had an Immense Demonstration
at Saginaw, Where Sev
eral Women Fainted.
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 17. William J.
Bryan completed his spectacular tour
of Michigan tonight by addressing the
largest throngs of people ever gathered
at political meetings in Detroit. From a
platform erected against the Washington
boulevard side of the Hotel Cadillac he
talked to a mass of people which filled
the wide boulevard and extended far
into the adjoining streets.
At the Auditorium he spoke to an
audience which occupied every inch of
space, .while thousands stood outside,
waiting for a possible sight of the can
didate. Lastly, he appeared upon a stand erect
ed nt the Woodward avenue firemen's
hall before a crowd which was so great
that it stopped all street car and other
traffic entirely.
The candidate's train was met nt
Woodward avenue station, three miles
from the center of the city, by the recep
tion committee. The procession of
carriages trotted down Woodward ave
nue and to the Hotel Cadillac by a rear
alley entrance, thus avoiding the crowds
on Michigan avenue. A roar of en
thusiasm went up from the crowd as
Mr.-Bryan appeared, nnd the tremendous
enthusiasm was kept up the entire even
ing. At the AVashington boulevard meeting
Mr. Bryan said, in part:
"We have lost the support of some
democrats, but, my friends, it is only
the big democruts who left us. The rank
and file of the party nre still true to the
traditions, of the party. In this con
test, where plutocracy is arrayed on one
side and democracy on the other, the
democrats who leave us in the face of
the enemy must understand that they
surrender all claim to authority in the
democratic party nnd all claim of respect
of those who love Jefferson and Jackson.
(Great applause.) We are. fighting the
same fight that has been fought in every
generation. It is a fight that comes in
our form of government over and over
again. In times of pence and quiet the
great aggregations of wealth silently ob
tain possession of the government. They
have used instrumentalities of the gov
ernment for private gain. They have
used the powers of government for pub
lic plunder nnd then, when the people be
came discouraged, . when . the people
gather themselves together to drive out
of power those who have abused gov
ernment, those in the enjoyment of
special privileges always entrench them
selves behind a bulwark raised to con
tribute magnificent campaign funds for
return to power, expecting to get back
more out of the people than it cost to
buy an election. But the American peo
ple have never failed in any crisis in
the past, nor hnve they reason to believe
that they will fail in this great crisis. It
is true that we have on the other side as
great a campaign fund as was ever
raised in American polities. It is true
that they nre resorting to intimidation
and coercion as they never resorted to
them before, but. my friends, while
money talks, money don t vote m the
United States. (Great applause.) In
this campaign we believe that the rank
and file of voters of the United States,
knowing what the gold standard has
done, knowing what- the gold standard
is doing, knowing what the gold standard
must continue to do, will prepare them
selves for one supreme struggle, nud in
that struggle the conscience of the
American people will prove supreme over
the syndicates, trusts and combinations."
DENSE THRONG AT SAGINAW.
ttracted by the Presence of the rale
Metal Preacher Women Fainted.
Saginaw. Mich.. Oct. 17. A fifteen-
minute stop was made nt Dura ml, where
Mr. Bryan spoke irom a piattorni near
the station. There was a good sized
crowd and considerable enthusiasm.
There were no new points in the candi
date's address. Several boxes of cut
Mowers were presented to Mrs. Bryan
and three cheers wer given for the uext
lady of the lute House.
Flint turned out a crowd of several
hundred enthusiastic spectators and Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to the court
house square, where a decorated platform
had been erected. Judge Newton intro
duced the candidate and his wife to the
audience and rousing cheers went up in
response. The meeting was enthusiastic
throughout the twenty-five minutes talk.
Lnion park race course had a great
crowd inside the enclosure when Mr. Bry
an arrived at Saginaw today. The grand
stand was tilled nnd the track immediate
ly iu front was one dense throng. They
were packed in so tight that several women
fainted and were passed over the heads
of the assemblage. It was an enthusi
astic audience and Mr. Bryan's speech
was punctuated with applause and cheers.
He discussed the money issue in much
the same manner ns before; defended the
plank in the democratic platform declar
ing for the income tax by quoting from
the dissenting opinion of Justice Browu.
nnd said that before he could be declared
an anarchist an anarchistic badge would
have to lie pinned on one of the supreme
judges. He said, in part:
"While 1 have no doubt that congress
will find some means of surmounting the
present crisis, my fear is that in some
moment of national nerd this decision will
rise up to frustrate its will nnd paralyze
its arm.
"Now. remember these words, which I
am about to read: 'I hope it may not
prove the first step toward the submerg
ence of the liberties of the people in a
sordid despotism of wealth.'
"My friends, it wns one of the judges
of the supreme court that said this, and
while I am a democrat I endorse what
that renuhlican indue said, aud I think,
my friends, that the policy that lies be
hind that decision means a submergence
of our lilierties in n sordid despotism of
wealth. And before anybody calls me
an anarchist for lielicving that, I want
hun to take an anarchist badge and pin
it on Justice Brown of the supreme
court. Let me read some more of what
he says:
" 'As I can not escape the conviction
that the decision of the court in this
great case is fraught with immeasurable
danger to the future welfare of the coun
try and that it approaches the proportions
of a national calamity. I feel it a duty to
enter my protest against it. (Great ap
iilanse nnd cheers.)
"That it approaches the proportions of
a national calamity, that it is fraught
with immeasurable danger to uie iiiuijc
of the country, that is what your repub
lican judge said, vet in the presence of
tins language, mui n ...........
proportions of a national calamity, we
are told that we must keep silent. And
who savs so? The men who ought to be
paving 'their taxes and supporting the
government and who want the poor peo
ple of the United States to do it tor them.
Not onlv that, but the men who condemn
that decision are not honest enough to
tell vou that they oppose our position be
cause thev don't want to pay taxes. Aly
friends, I have not hesitated to express
mv opinion of the man who wants this
government to protect him and does not

government. I have said that the man
who wants the protection of government
nnd vet is not willing to pay his share of
the taxes does not deserve to live in a
government like this. When you find a
man who is denouncing the party be
eause of that position, you hnd out
whether that man is paying his share
even of your local taxes, my friends.
Shw me a man who is alarmed for fear
the supreme court is being nttuacked and
I will show you a man who belongs to
that class of citizens who have their
property assessed for taxation in a less
proportion to its value than the poor man
who has to pay his taxes on his home.
(Cheers and applause.)
A Voice How about free trade?
U,. Tlpvnn It'roe trade? Did VOU say
that? (Laughter.) Do you believe in
protection?
The Voice I don't know.
Mr. Bryan-Well, if you don r itnow
you are a mighty good man to be at this
meeting, my friend. But I will tell you
nbout the tariff question. If the men who
want protection will join with me in put
ting n prohibitory duty ou foreign finan
cial policies, I will discuss the rest of the
tariff schedule with that man. (Grent
applause.) Or I will tell you if they nre
not willing to do that, I will wait until
after they settle the money question by
international agreement and then we will
submit the tariff question to inernationnl
agreement. (Great applause.) In this
campaign a democratic free trader and
tariff reformer like John (J. Carlisle can
help elect a republican like Mr. McKin
ley, nnd when that is possible in them,
the protectionists and tariff reformers
who believe in free silver can unite and
settle the money question and we will set
tle the tariff question afterwards.
"Now. my friends, if you want relief
you have got to elect a
A Voice Wm. J. Bryan, that is what
we are going to do.
"Of course you will do that, my friends.
I was not meaning to express any doubts
on that subject. But I say that if you
want financial relief you huve got to see
to it that the three branches of the gov
ernment join in the demand for it, and
not do ns we have done in the past, some
times hnve one branch and sometimes an
other, but never have all three at once."
BRYAN HITS THE ROAD AGAIN.
Owosso Depot, Mich., Oct. 17. After a
night's rest W. J. Brynn awoke this
morning refreshed nnd in good condition
to continue his record-breaking trip
through Michigan. He said he was com
pletely rested, nnd in order to prove his
statement, started in with his speech mak
ing nt 8 o'clock at St. Johns. His voice
was in good condition, as he expressed it,
and he was ready to do another day's
work, such ns yesterday, and throwing
in half n dozen more addresses for good
measure. Before the ear in which Mr.
Bryan rode last night reached Lansing
the nominee hnd made sixteen speeches.
