ANOTHER RAILROAD ARGUMENT.

Texas is sending half million of cattle
to the North over the Western railroads.
These animals are driven into Colorado
and Kansas, pastured for short season
and then shipped on approved cattle cars
to st. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and the
Eastern markets. Alabama, Georgia and
the Southern States generally need this
same importation of fresh meat, but owing
to the lack of transportation they are cut
off from access to the Texas cattle fields,
except when some enterprising Western
man drives drove of beeves down from
the prairies of Illinois. If the railroad
connection between Houston and New Or
leans was completed, not only would this
freightage of live stock pass through this
city, but the returning shippers, after re-
ceiving their pay, would patronise our
stores, hotels, theatres and public places
generally. Instead, therefore, of obstruct-
ing the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
railroad, it should be the earnest endeavor
of every citizen to assist that enterprise
in every possible way. If there are any
who are not attending to this duty, let
them accuse themselves in the premises of
standing as barriers in the way of our
natural development

Governor Warmoth was out riding on
Friday, and sat on the wharf at Pass
Christian until quite late in the evening,
enjoying the balmy breezes. His vigorous
constitution is rapidly resuming its nor
NAL condition.
Yesterdays trains took away quite a
large number of our citizens to the Pass,
politicians, merchants and others, whose
object was principally to pay their re-
spects to his excellency. 1t must be in
the highest degree gratifying to the Gov
ernor and his friends to see how nearly
universally the desire for his complete and
early recovery is manifested.

THE DETECTIVE POLICE.

Any suggestion which may tend to I'M
prove the police force in one OF Its most
important departments, is worthy OF atten-
ton, and since the chief of police in Bos-
ton ought to be an authority IN the
matter which he has been selected to
oversee, his ideas concerning detectives
may teach us how to improve our own
force. He does not maintain regular
body of detectives, but distributes the
work among the entire force, picking up
men as they present themselves to his
judgment to do specific work, and then
dropping them back into the main force.
By this means his detectives are never
known to the public. Neither does the
main body of the police know who the de-
tectives are until they have been dis
charged from the particular service to
which they were appointed.
The benefit of this system is that 1t
gives each policeman a chance to de-
velop his qualities, and it creates an en-
terprising spirit among the men to do
their work in such a way as to win adj
vancement. But the chief advantage IS
that it hides the detective from the police
and the public, because the policeman
who was pointed out as detective yester-
day may have been changed before night
The offender is never certain that he Is
not followed, for the detective force is I'M
known to the public because it is only
created on the emergency.
Under the prevailing system in all the
other cities the detective police are known
to the community. Every thief IN town
is cognizant of the man who pretends to
watch him from behind citizens dress.
This is therefore sham.
The efficacy of the detective is in his
being unknown, for then he is presumed
to be everywhere. Men love mystery for
its occult qualities they dread it also for
its concealed dangers. Where the police
department sends out body Of men
whose presence is felt but not seen, who
are unknown to the victims, who strike
when least expected, the criminally dis
posed are deferred from their wicked
doings by the possibility that every
movement is watched by q policeman.
But when every scoundrel can spot every
detective, the capacity to commit offenses
is only limited by the opportunity. All
that is necessary is to watch the detective
and take advantage of his sociability or
his absence
1t seems to US that the Boston plan
combines many advantages. 1t makes the
detective what he ought to be, secret
policeman. 1t offers every member an op-
portunity to develop his capacity. 1t
creates the apprehension that there are
more detectives in the service than there
really are. And it prevents bribery, for
no man can discover the pro, er officer to
ee. All this is worthy Of consideration
by our local authorities, for that the de-
tectives of New Orleans may be i'm
proved and made more efficient, is not
disputed.

THE TRUTH STRONGLY TOLD,

While the Democratic press of the
North is roughly swearing that what JEFF
Davis said did not represent Southern
sentiment, the Democratic press at the
South is roughly swearing that JEFF only
drew the matter mildly. The State Jour
nal, of Montgomery, Alabama, says Davis
fell short Of the reality in giving express
sion to the intense hatred of the Demo-
Gratis toward all and singular the acts
and doings of the government since the
war; 1t refuses to accept the situation
for the sake of allowing set of hungry
trading politicians in New York to mar
ket political favors in the name of the
betrayed South. Rather would the Ala
bama Democracy trade directly with the
Republicans, from whom some generosity
might be expected, than with pretended
friends, who expect to charge a commits
sion, in the shape of patronage for MAX
ing the same arrangement which the
Southern people could make directly for
themselves.
AS the commission business is gener-
ally an expensive one, the business ideas
of the State Journal are good; but, as an
obstinate and hard-headed fool is sure to
spoil even good trade, we can not in
dorse the conclusion of the editor that he
intends to defer the trade until he has
demonstrated his inability to butt his
brains out in bullying the nation to let

POLITICAL HUMBUGS.

Political humbuge are swarming in this
country. They are as thick as bees, in
spots, and are gifted with the power to
sting, but not with the power to make
honey. In fact, they are gifted with no
power for good. They are an imposition
upon the body-politic; cheat upon the
people In one breath the people are as
sured that there are but few journals in
the South Of any degree of responsibility

A convention OF preachers of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church was held recently
in Tennessee, at Athens, The delegates re-
presented eleven different Southern States,
extending from Virginia to Texas. Sixty
one white ministers were present and two
colored. Twenty-Five laymen also were
there. This convention prevented Mr.. Mat
lack from being at the school examinations.
The action taken, it is supposed, will
have an important bearing on the union of
all Methodists-on the election of bishops
for the South, and on the future eoncilia-
tory and yet aggressive policy of the
Church in filing up the waste places OF
this great field for moral en- terprise.
