AUSTIN WEEKLY STATESMAN THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28 1889.
Entered as second-class matter. Office of
publication 122 West Sixth street.
. By the robbery in Chickasaw na-
tion the Pacific Express loses fifteen
thousand dollars. Where is boasted
American genius that cannot invent
eome device to prevent these outrages -
Is Austin so much richer than Wa
co Galveston and other Texas cities
that she can afford to pay three or
four times more for her light and wa-
ter than those towns pay? If not
what Bhould be done about it?
r The Sherman Courier says : "The
Austin Statesman continues its laud-
able efforts to get the Colorado river
dammed. Austin has a number of
wealthy men but not one of them is
liberal enough to give a dam." Then
the town itself will do the cussing.

BBoMnn nnwnlmnst. valiiAloaafnr want. lntere6t nOW that the City IS in the
of water and rain. The vastness of
the arid region of the United States
makes this matter of prodigious im
portance. The boundaries of this area
are put down by scientists as the one
hundredth meridian on the east and
the Rocky Mountains on the west in
cluding very nearly the whole western
half of the state of Tcxaa. The con
tents are estimated at a thousand
million acres in round numbers. Of
this immense region it is computed
throes of a heated political contest :
A few months ago I was nominated
for governor of the great state of New
York to run against Mr. John T
omitn ana Jur. manic j. .Blank on
the independent ticket. I somehow
felt that I had one prominent advan
tage over these gentlemen and that
was gooa character. It was easy to
see by the newspapers that they
had become familiar ' with all man?
ner of shameful crimes. But at the
very moment when I was exalting my

seven million acres having already
been so reclaimed. These xtwo hun
dred million acres of reclaimable land
are nearly ten times the aggregate
of improved farm lands in Pennsyl
vania and sixty per cent more than
of my happiness ' and that was the
having my name handled about in fa
miliar connection with' such people.
I grew more and more disturbed. Fi-
nally I wrote my grandmother about
it. Her answer came quick and
i sharp. She said :
You have never done one single
thing in all your life to be ashamed of
.. The silver convention which met at
St. Louis yesterday is one of the most
important bodies that has assembled
for several years. It is not political
but nroDoses to deal with one of the
greatest issues of the day free coin-
age of silver a question ultimately
connected with the prosperity of the
country.
Directly and indirectly the people
are paying the water company 5 per
cent on over $1100000 while the plant
cost only $350000. Would 'nt you
rather pay 5 per cent on the money
your dam and Water works would
actually cost? At most that cost
would not . be over $500000 a net
saving in interest of $30000
year.'
y Mb. J. J. Dickinson of the San An
'tonio Express has joined the great
army of those who have fled from the
comforts of single blessedness to the
joys whose limits they know not of
The Express however still boasts
a couple of unmarried men
on its force. That is well
and whilo we heartily congrat
ulate the genial blonde and hand
some Mr. Dickinson' we felicitate
the Express on the fact that in cer
tain good respects it is still with us.
So well lias the work on the mouth
of the Brazos been pushed and so suc
cessful has it proven that the work
ing force has been reduced as the con-
tract with such reduction can be fin
ished within the specified time. We
deprecate any cessation in the efforts
to build a Texas port and that as
quickly as possible. If a bonus is
eeded even to hurry up the work it
would be economy for it to be forth
coming.
The Lockhart Register has not been
keeping up with us' for it says : "Late
ly The Statesman has not had much
to say on the subject of damming the
river it takes enterprise and money
to accomplish such an object and
while Austin may have the money she
has not the nerve to turn it loose."
Well we will see about that and we
think you will be compelled to admit
Austin has both the means requisite
nd the disposition to succeed.
. Yesterday's San Antonio Express
said: "The Lockhart Register pre-
dicts that it will be a long time before
Tom Brackenridge of Austin will be
the head of state affairs. Why?
Stranger things have happened. The
honesty and business ability of Major
Brackenridge are unquestioned. The
time may not be far distant when the
people will look rather to con
servatisra than the ability to make
a tremendous fuss about nothing."
Never was honest praise better be-
stowed. Wherever Major Bracken-
ridge is known there are recognized
the steadfastness of purposeloyalty of
friendship and elevated estimate of
life that always animate him. To his
friends lie is always true to his ene-
mies ever courteous. Major Bracken-
ridge is blessed with a mind capable of
entertaining on all subjects only the
broadest and most liberal views. He

CONCENTRATING THE AIUIV FORCE
The advance sheets of the annual
report of the secretary of war for the
year 1889 are on our table. Secretary
Proctor makes an elaborate statement
as to the condition of the army in all
its branches. Some parts of the re
port have a bearing on the arsenal
block question about which Austin
has been interested. Under tho head
"Army Tosts and Supplies" Secretary
Proctor says :
The change in character which our
military service has been undergoing
the past few years is permitting the
gradual concentration of troops in
larger posts and more permanent
juarters and congress has made liberal candidate
tion. Mr. Twain owes it to himself as
well as to the great people whose
suffrages he asks to elear this matter
up. Will he do it.
I thought .1 should burst with
amazement. Such a cruel heartless
charge. I never had seen Cochin China.
I never had heard of Wahawak. I
didn't know a plantain patch from a
kangaroo. 1 was crazed and helpless.
I let the day slip away without doing
anything at all. The next morning
the same paper had this nothing
more :

troops in larger posts this evil will
rapidly diminish. It is to be regretted
however that of tho several duties de-
volving upon the government for the
education and improvement of its
soldiers this most essential element
of all should be even temporarily neglected.
It will be noticed how the point is
dwelt upon that the government is
insisting upon the policy of "concen
trating the troops" not scattering
them about in one company posts
here and there. In the face of such a
policy how could Austin just for the

they did not know what was the real
reason of the absence of the aban
doned creature whom they denomi
nated their standard bearer. A certain
man was seen to reel into Mr. Twain's
hotel last night1 in a state of beastly
intoxication. It is the imperative
duty of the independents to prove
that the besotted brute was not Mark
Twain himself. We have them at last.

The same journal immediately
dubbed me "Mr. Delirium Tremens
Twain."
By this time there had grown to be
such a clamor lor an "answer" to all
the dreadful charges that were laid to
me that the editors and leaders of my
party said it would be political rum
for me to remain silent any longer.
The following appeared in one of the
papers the very next day :
Uehold the Man! The independ
ent candidate maintains silence. Be-
cause he dare not speak. Every accu
sation against him has been amply
proved and they have been indorsed
and reindorsed by his own eloquent
silence till at this day he stands for

mous perjurer! the Montana thief!
the body snatcher! the" delirium
tremens! the filthy corruptionist !
Can you give your hdnest votes to a
creature who dares not open his
mouth to denial of any of his hideous
crimes?.
Therejwas no possible way of get
ting out of it and so in deep humil-
iation I set about preparing to "an-
swer" a mass of baseless charges and
mean and wicked falsehoods. But I
never finished th9 task for the very
next morning a paper came out with
a new horror charging me with burn-
ing a lunatic asylum with all its in-
mates because it obstructed the view
from my house. This threw me into
a sort of panic. Then the principal
Republican journal "convicted" me of
wholesale bribery and of poisoning
my uncle to get his property with'
an imperative demand that the
grave should be opened. This drove
me to the verge of distraction. On
top qf this I was accused of employ-
ing toothless and incompetent ld
relatives to prepare the food for the
foundling hospital when I was warden.
At last as a due and fixing cliirax to
the shameless persecution that party
rancor had inflicted upon me nine
little toddling children of all shades
of color and degrees of raggedness
were taught to rush on the platform
at a public meeting and clasp me
around tl e legs and call me pa. Truly
