Post says:
The young yagabonds who infest this city, and par
tcularly the docks. and who live mainly by stealing
about the streets in parties with little canvas bags
and steal cotton in small quantities from bales or
other packages in which it is confined or from the
heaps Of cotton which be assorted and rebaed
The gangs organized and divided into steaers
and carriers, and they work according to a system
which they have devised The stealers are usually
the shrewdes and most venturesome of the boys the
Others carry the bags into which the cotton is putt
though when the parties set out on their thievng
cursions they all steal. When the amount of the cot
ton secured becomes considerable as to attract at
tentOn the boys separate and after the sealers have
their hands and their pockets full of the cotton they
retire and empty it into the bags 1t said the boys
sell the cotton for twenty-five cents pound.

The Governor of Colorado, in his mes
sage to the Legislature of that State speaks in favor
of railroad to the city of Mexico, two thousand
miles away which he says would be easy of consruc-

undertaking.

WESTERN VIEWS OF TARIFF.-0n the subject Of
protection for home manufacturers the Chicago Re.

protection for home manufacturers the Chicago Re-
publican says;
1t is vaguely reported that certain Republican
members of Congress from the West, have resolved
to oppose any alterations in the tariff calculated to Sc
domestic manufacturers AGAINST the effects of
foreign competition Their idea is said to be that any
alterations of this sort, while eymight be beneficial
to Eastern capitalists would be injurious to Western
farmers. This is an old notion indeed, we may say
that it is obsolete
But here in the West manufacturers are rapidly
sprnging up and the farmers interested in their
prosperity and development almost as much az those
who are directly concerned in them. We apprehend,
accordingly, that any Western Representative who
votes against such duties upon foreign wares as will
save from destruction infant iron mills.
