Genekal Maxey is very emphatic
in declaring for positive expression by
Heats of learning upon questions of
political economy but he seems le.'-s
tolerant of a candidly speaking press.
He could afford to be more generous.
There is not a wholesale dealer in
Austin who is not estopped from say-
ing The Statesman is not as good a
paper as the News ; for there is not
one such merchant who does his part
towards making Tub Statesman such
a paper.
It there were no live Austin issues
at stake upon which to elect men to
the city council and the mayor's chair
the Statesman would feel like propos-
ing the test let the honors . go to
those who contribute most to the Con-
federate Home fund.
The waters have subsided from the
late Hall-Hogg churning. Are Texas
land titles any better oil" for the temp-
est or have they come out from the
blast with broken spars and tattered
sails? The sooner the vessel gets into
port for substantial repairs the bcttar.
Another bloody murder in the
JlcCoy-IIatlield vendetta is published
this morning. This time-the victim
is Mrs. James Drown who was killed
it would be a good thing f jr West Vir
ginia if both sides were exterminated
Peace seems impossible while there

The popple of Boston havo com-
menced a subscription paper to rais
five thousand dollars to erect a nimu
ment over tho grave of Washington's
mother which is at Fredericksburg
Va. The mother of such a nun
surely desorves that an enduring
monument be eroctod to her memory.
The Republicans of Colorado do not
seem particularly enamored of Mr.
Windom in fact demand that ho be
removed from tho secretaryship of the
treasury. The demand is stated posi
tively enough but it lacks the inllu
ential political backing necessary tn
guarantee success. Mr. -Windom will
remain secretary of tho treasury for
some time longer.
No other agent has been so poten-
tial in pushing Fort Worth to the
front as the Fort Worth Gazette; no
other agent has done as much for tha;
town. And it has done what it has
accomplished because it was heartily
and persistently backed by the bus i
ness men of Fort Worth. They took
the paper on their shoulders and made
of it a splendid advertising medium for
the town until today Fort Worth is
the live bustling progressive town it
is because the Gazette has ' been a
live energetic progressive paper. It
pays a town to support its homo pa-
per in a generous whole-souled way.
When every other agency in a town
fails the newspaper is still expected to
do its duty. To it everyone turns
with his grievance expecting solace
upon it everyone relies for assistance
towards every imaginable end of good.
Its hands are expected to be for the
assistance of everyone everything
but itself. If not it is a Boulless mer-
cenary thing a creature for pelf not
the public good. And yet abstractly
considered what real rights have the
public in newspapers? They are pri-
vate institutions and should be al-
lowed the poor privilege of conducting
their affairs upon such' business prin-
ciples as they think best. Many of
them would profit more by acting upon
Yanderbilt's idea.
MATf CHANGKS DEPENDENT ON THE
' K1VEK JJAM.
Mr. McDonald's platform is before
the people for their consideration. One
paragraph of it strikes us with peculiar
force. He says :
Let us do those things which will
build up a city and bring to our peo-
ple a lasting prosperity. Let us first
create a necessity and demand for
paved streets and an extensive sewer
system and we will then Yind the
mean? with which to provide these
things.
And as the first means for creating
such "necessity and demand" he
names the damming of the Colorado
river. Through such plan he hopes to
invite to Austin new enterprises and
larger population besides giving-those
people now here the two great com-
forts of water and light at one-fourth
the price now paid for them. Mr. Mc
Donald favors good streets but he
does not favor issuing at this time any
largo amount of bonds for tho purpose
of securing them. Ho thinks they
can bo h id by a proper expendi-
ture of our present income as it
will bo augmented by the re-
ceipts (lowing from the dam project.
Let us test the feasibility of Mr. Mc-
Donald's plan by the estimates made
by Engineer Pope of what may be ex-
pected from a dam costing $150000
and yielding three thousand horse
power. . According to rates as they
obtain in tho north such water power
could be sold outright for a net profit of
f. 200000 and there would also be a net
annual income from rental amount-
ing to $0000. If these $200000 were
let out at six per cent the town would
in addition to cheap water and lights
and increased business and population
have $12000 a year net income from
the dam. Or it could put the extra
$200000 at once in improved stieels
and sewers and have the $6000 a year
to help keep them in good repair.
But if the power is not sold but
leased it is estimated the city would
have a net income of $42000 a year
direct from the dam and the city would
also save three-fourths of what it is
now paying for water and light or
about $15000 a year. This would make
a total increase of $57000 a year in
tho city's income or a sum about five
times greater than what was spent on
the streets in 1888. It looks reason-
able that such a handsome sum yearly
carefully expended would in a very
short time give us excellent streets
and sidewalks. Or if the need re-
quired immediate extensive street im-
provement that income would furnish
interest and sinking fund for a very
largo issue of bonds. As indorsed by
the figures of engineers does not the
dam project furnish a solution for the
majority of the troubles at this time
bothering Austin? Mr. McDonald
favors the construction of that dam.
Does Mr. Nallo also favor it?
WHAT SHALL WE DO AHOUT IT?
The Montopolis bridge for which
the county has given her bonds for
nearly fifty thousand dollars lies
prone at the bottom of the Colorado.
It is a miserable ' wreck ; a pitiful
monument to mismanagement or in-
C'linpetency. It boots not now to in-
quire who is responsible for thus ab-
solutely throwing away tho money o.
the tax payers of Travis county. Ai-
tbo case now stands the county is the
loser to the tune of forty-seven thou
sand dollars. Site now occupies the
position of the individual who has been
outwitted and whose money has
ouud its way into somebody else's
pocket with nothing actually nothing
of value to show for it. What is to be
lone? Why investigate and see if any-
thing can be saved from the wreck.
The commissioners' court should
i.
tit once employ a competent engineer
to inspect the. ruins and determine
what can and ought to bo done. The
commissioners should do another
thing. Tho bridge company pievi
ous to securing the last pnymont by
the county gave a certain guarantee
bond. It seems about time to test
the value of that bond. If good in
law. enough might be recovered at
least to pay for such repairs as will
make tho bridge a safe routo acrots
the river. Tho county cannot be any
worse off than at present while prompt
action may prove she still has some
rights in the case.
L1HEHAL THADE RELATIONS WITH
MEXICO.
Tho receut duty imposed on Amer-
ican cattlo by tho Mexican govern-
ment is a disastrous blow to Texas
stockmen and cuts off a growing
market for our cattle and beeves. It
also hurts the cattlo interests through-
out the west and is a rctninJer to
Uncle Sam that somebody elso besides
ourselves can play the protective
game. The United States minister
to Mexico saw tho effect of tho new
duty in advance of its enforcement
and he reminded his government to
adopt the most "liberal trade rela-
tions" with our Mexican neighbors
ftndtn Sfflfthln Statesman
knowing that the Mexican duty was
but a piece of retaliation for our own
liigh duties charged at the
custom houses on the Rio
Grande. The minister's head is
level if he does represent a govern-
ment run on the protective plan.
Indeed not only are "liberal trade
relations" the proper policy for the
United States towards Mexico but if
duties on the Rio Grande were totally
wiped out by both countries the cus-
tom houses abolished and freight
trains allowed to cross that river both
ways as free as passing from one state
to another would not the United
States and her trade and commerce
be the gainer? Mexico would then
sell her products to rs instead of to
England as at present and she would
do her trading in our markets the
same as a Texas farmer. buys his sup-
plies where he sells his cotton.
This might be considered a very ap-
propriate time to remark that the of-
fii'e of county commissioner is one of
vital importance to the county. The
commissioners' court stands in loco
parentis to tho count' its word is
law and it is charged with the con-
duct of all the business affairs' of the
county all internal improvements
the custody of eleemosynary institu-
tions etc. etc. As great or greater
care should be observed in electing a
county commissioner than in choos-
ing an Alderman there are nineteen
other aldtrmen and only three other
commissioners to correct mistakes.
Travis county has work to occupy tho
time and attention of the very best
officers she can Secure. '
With all the discouraging reports
coming from old Virginia we believe
she will be true to her history and the
d3mands of her prestige and vote an
eternal no against the claimsof tho
contemptible wire puller and political
trickster Mahone. Virginia deservts
not the contumely of having such a
governor. . t

JESSE JEFFERSON.
MAKES A STATEMENT ABOUT THE
CKEEDMORE AFFAIR AND
WAIVES EXAMINATION.
It is Diametrically Opposed to a Statement
of Delia Whitehead Who Appears
to be More Sinned Against
Than Sinning.
Jesse Jefferson charged with "as-
sault upon Miss Delia Whitehand.
was arraigned before Justice Calhoun
yesterday. All the witnesses includ-
ing the mother and sister of Miss Delia
were present.
" Jefferson was permitted to make a
statement which is given below:
Jefferson the defendant in the case
after being duly cautioned as to the
law and his right says of his own free
will : I was nt with Miss Delia
Whitehand during the night of Thurs-
day October 24 A. D. 18SS) and did
not take her from the house of her
mother where she lives. I did not go'
with her. I was nowhere near her
when I was arrested. I did not know
anything of her having been gone
until the next morning. When I
went to picking cotton I saw two
men sitting on cotton sacks at the
cotton pile and I asked them who
they were and they answered "Miller
ami Asberry." This was before day
and the morning star was rising.
They asked me who I was and I said
Jesse. They said Jessie who? and I
said Jefferson. Miller then asked
Asberry if he knew me and I knew
then something was up as I knew
he had seen me often enough. Then
I picked cotton a little while and then
went around ten across the lane and
went up to the house of Mr. John
McClintock where I was staying.
When I got up there I heard some
men talking. Bill Wells and Mr.
Hughes left soon after I got there and
went down the lane towards where I
first saw the two men and I heard
Bill Wells say he will fight the whole
mob if you get him started and
that put me on the wonder again
as I did not know what that meant.
I goes out in the lane between Mr.
John McClintock's house and the
school house and calls Bill Wells.
He did not answer me. About this
time Willie McClintock called me .as
he heard me calling and I knew there
was something up and I would not
answer him. I goes down through
Mr. Whitehand's cornfield Jand comes
out about Charles Burchard's house
into the lane and goes on down the
lane just below Mr. Redman's gate
and three or four men overtook me.
They had guns on Winchesters
guns of some kind. Just as they
passed me one of them looked down
and said that's him. They passed me
about fifty yards. One of them Bill
Wells called me and told me ho
wanted to talk with me and I knew
there was something up and I would not
go to him. I gets into' Mr. Asberry's
cornfield and goes about fifty yards
and sits down until they passed on
down the lane. Then I got up and
came back and wetit down behind
them.
I came on down to Mr. Price's gate.
He Mr. Price called me and I stop-
ped and went to him and he asked
me if they had found Miss Delia
Whitehand rtnd I asked him where
she was at and he said the ran away
last night. That was the first I knew
of her having been gone and he said
he knew she was going to run off by
the way they were keeping her at
home so close. Jesse Ramie (Mr.
Felix Miller's brother-in-law) I met
him at the gate and he told me
that Miss" Delia had gone and that
the fellow who worked for Will Mc-
Clintock took her off. . That was me.
I goes on down the lane towards Mr.
Hughes' and met Mr. Alex. Hughes
Will McClintock and Felix Miller.
They speaks to me and asked me
where I was going and I told them to
George Mathews'. I went on by them
about ten steps down the lane and
Mr. Alex. Hughes calls me and said
they wanted tospeak to me. I told them
all right I would talk to them from
on the inside of the fence. About
that time Mr. Alex. Hughes came up
to the fence and said : ' "I want to
know something about Miss Delia
Whitehand she ran ' off last night."
I asked him what he came to me about
her for I did not know anything
about her. He said: "Let's take him
boys he is the one." I broke and
ran about 100 yards across the pasture
and they ran around the pasture and
I got mad and came on back and then
they arrested me. Alexander Hughes
took hold of me and I asked him what
they were going to do with me and
they said they were not going to hurt
me and I said all right I will go any-
where with you. They took me over
to Mrs. Whitehand's and kept me
there all day and when they brought
Miss Delia out of the field she told
them that I did not take her off and
had nothing to do with it and thai
Bhe was going again.

Attest: J. Calhoun.
After making the statement Jeffer-
son waived further examination
and in default of $5000
bail was remanded to jail to await the
action of the grand jury which con-
venes next week.
. Miss Delia Whitehand was in the
city yesterday. She is about 17 years
old neat and prepossessing in appear-
ance and is a young lady of more than
ordinary intelligence. She still asserts
that she left home because of ill-treatment.
She also states that at her re-
quest Jefferson aided her in leaving

home Thursday night and that he re-
mained with her in the thicket. She
heard them calling her the night she
left when only a short distance off
but was afraid to return. Her object
in leaving home she asserts was to
seek a place where she could make a
living. She maintains with all the
earnestness in hex power that she is
innocent of wrong and that her honor
ia unsullied.
The young lady has the profoundest
sympathies of the officers of the law
who some how seem to think she
is "more sinned against than sin-
ning." Mrs. Laura Whitehand her mother
called at The Statesman office
yesterday and desired that
the paper say this morning
that she did not brutally abuse her
daughter on Saturday as reported but
simply whipped her with a limber
switch on the legs while her uncle held
her because site wanted to leave home
again.
It will be observed that the state-
ment of the negro Jefferson and Miss
Delia do not correspond at all.
The whole matter will be investi-
gated by the grand jury but what
earthly object there is in the investi-
gation no man knows.
Miss Delia Whitehand tho principal
in the case declares and will declare
under the sanctity of an oath that her
womanhood and all that crowns and
forever blesses a true woman is untar-
nished. This being the case what is the use
of an investigation?
From all The Statesman can learn
and it has learned a great deal the
thing the district attorney ought to
do is to promptly dismiss tho whole
business and order a car load of pad
locks and forever close the mouths
of some very busy people
whose chief delight just now appears
to be making mountains out of molo-
rhiilla and adding distress to a young
lady whatever her faults or into what-
ever errors she may have fallen is to
bo profoundly pitied and is en-
titled to the kindest consideration and
heartfelt sympathy of honorable men
and women everywhere.
A Young Benedict's Luck.
Certainly there is no more
propitious time for fortune to knock
at a young man's door as the Irish-
man asserts it does once in the life of
every man than just after he has
tnken unto himself a partner to share
his weal and woe in this life. A wind-
fall of a few thousand of dollars at
this period of a man's life is very of-
ten the keystone upon vhich he may
erect a fortune and achieve success.
Among the rare instances of this
kind of recent occurrence we mention
the case of Mr. P. E
Peareson n rising young merchant of
Harland Fort Bend county who pur-
chased one twentieth of ticket No.
39520 which won tho second capital
prize of $100000 in the drawingof the
Louisiana State Lottery on Tuesday
September 10 1889 and as a conse-
quence is today $5000 better oh" in
this world's goods. Mr. Peareson is
the son of Colonel P. E. Peareson ol
Richmond one of the most prominent
attorneys of this section and is a
young man highly esteemed by all his
acquaintances. As previously hinted
Mr. Peareson has only recently been
married and his good fortune is there-
fore doubly wejeome.
He will utiliyte tho amount received
so unexpectedly in building up his
business.
The ticket was cashed through
Messrs. Dyer & Moore bankers of

General Maxey Endorses Doctor Waggener's
University Speech.
The following letter was received by
Doctor Waggcner yesterday and in
self-explanatory :
Taris Tox. October 30 ISsO.
Leslie Waggoner LL. D. Chairman Faculty
University ol Texas Austin Tex. :
Dear Sir On yesterday evening 1
had the pleasureof reading the Gal-
veston News of 24th inst. contain-
ing your address to the students ol
the University at the opening of the
present session. I endorse every
word of it. Your distinction between
self-reliance and self-conceit is admir-
ably drawn and furnishes a solid
basis upon which your conclusions in
respect to a protective tariff and the
Blair bill rests. The criticisms upon
the address because you expressed
your opinions upon these measures
are unworthy of notice and emanate
from men who have no conception of
the real purposes of a university .j
I not only endorse what you say.
but I believe it the bounden duty of
the University to teach political
economy and to teach the truth bold-
ly. It is something new under the
sun that political economy should be
taken out of the schools and relegated
to the tender mercies of men who have
not the slightest cenception of the
momentous importance to the Ameri-
can people of sound teaching of these
great questions. I am rejoiced that
the ponderous battle-axe of Professor
Sumner is wielded for the right. I
am rejoiced that President Eliot has
ranged himself on the side of truth
and justice on the tariff question ; and
I should have but little respect for the
faculty of our University if it was too
cowardly to stand out fearlessly on the
side of right and too timid to teach
the truth. With best wishes
Yours truly
