How the Union stands on the Ferry Question.
The responsible editor" of the Rock
Island Union published half column
leader, yesterday morning, to show
that the Gazette had made mis-
take iu stating that the most side
splitting farce of the season was the
ridiculous attempt of the Union to
keep on both sides of the Ferry question
at the same time" After genially re
ferring to the Gdzttte as An eScrucia-
tingly tacetious sheet published on the
ragged edge of Iowa, the responsible
editor writes the following sentences in
the course of his leader to prove that the
UNION isn't :. attempting to keep on both
sides of the Ferry question at the same
time viz.
" Both sides were right"
Both -iles were wrJng.
The ferry COMPANY was right
Inc city was right"

UNPAID CRY TAxEs.-We ,are reliably
informed that there is at least ten thousand
dollars now due the city from its tax payers,
and thar as a general thing, those who are
in arrears are among the most wealthy
classes. There are great many improve
ments that the city is anxious to have done,
but cannot because there is not money in
the treasury to prosecute the work. Even
the grading on the hills near the Catholic
Church has been discontinued because Of
the absence Of finances to defray the ex-
.pehseg Now il there Is any one more than
another benefited By the improvement Of

THE question is often asked why aresoil
paintings so COSTLY The pigments and
other material-used in their production are
very cheap, the resources fer obtaining de-
sirable effects unlimited, the number of
artists ample--all Of whom have a prefer
ence for oil work-many Of whose produc-
tons, however, though expensive and
scarce dozen years old, appear worn, dull
and dingy, fading, scaling, perishing rap
idly, and in portraits the features once ia
miliar and true to life, convey false i'm
preston now. Time having already oblit-
Grated, no skill can restore them. Then
why are good, welEseasoned Gil portraits
so expensive3 Principally because artists
have to be paid for idle time in wait
ing for customers to order exorbitantly
high-priced and frequently indifferent work
also because, until more recently, the art
world has offered nothing equal or supe-
rior. But a progressive age, among other
scientific attainments, has produced also a
new and popular portrait, hfe-like and beau
tiful as durable. Carbon, the only I'M
changeable and absolutely permanent sub
stance known, has but recently been
adapted successfully to portraits. Prof.

FEDERAL SPANISH RELATIONS. wash
ingtou, November 19.-The settlement Of
our claims Ia the Virginius case Is being
vigorously prosecuted by our diplomatic
representative ct Madrid. There are some
features, however, which involve delay, and
perhaps win call for the consideration Of
Congress. The reported settlement Of the
British claims by the Spanish government
does not reflect discredit upon the activity
Of the Secretary Of State OF the dipIomatIc
skin Of Dir Cushing. The President has
had IN mind from the beginning, e 81
claimed By his friends, q broader policy
than the simple settlement Of damages
growing out Of the Yirginius seizure, be.
tween the United States and Spain. There
have long been many points 81 controversy.
The treaty Of 1895, with the growth aud
material interest Of the two countries. has
become obsolete IN many respects. and de-
mands the establishment Of treaty relations
more IN harmony with the requirements u
the present day. The dignity and Just
claims Of the United States viii pot be dis
regarded, but IN addition 70 thee, there q
every indication Of an agreement a. au early
day between the two countries, which VIII
put an end 70 the hanh measures carried
out BY the local authorities on the Spanish
islands near our southern coast, ana pro-
vide more LIBERAL siIp1Iation1 for the fcnu-

COUNTY RoADs.-No doubt the county
commissioners intend to do What they can
for the improvement of the rosds in this
county, and especially the important ones /;
butlwe wish to remind them again Of the
demand for immediate action. Now, dur
ing the busy season, when the roads are
lined with wagons hauling cotton, goods,
Germ, wood, ETC., is the time that good
roads are most needed, and all possible
haste should be made for their improve
ment. We are informed that the west Bull
creek road, which is said to be travelled as
much as any other, is almost impossible.
We don't know what resources the commits
siOners have at hand for the improvement
Of the roads, but if anything is going to be
done at all now is the time for beginning.
THE MARROW GAUGE RAnwAY.-We no
tlce by the Houston Telegraph that train
has left Kansas with scrapers, plows,
shoVels, etc, intended for the narrow gauge
railway from Houston to LAGRANGE and
New Braunfels. The Telegraph says that
work will begin on the road at once.
Houston, the railroad hub Of the State,
knows the value Of railroads, and never
wearies in giving such enterprises substan-
tial aid. We know Of nothing that Austin
can do just now to secure increased railroad
facilities, but her people should be on the
aiertt embrace any, opportunity offered to
secure one or more railroads. The Inter
national, and road running to Indianola,
are the routes Austin needs most. When
will we get them9

THE fall meeting Of the .'capital Jockey
Club" having been indefinitely postponed,
Col. A. P. Blocker and Mr.. Radcliff Plat,
two fanciers and breeders Of Thoroughbred
race horses, determined that the expecta-
tiOns of the pubic should not be entirely
disappointed, gave due notice that match
race "a dash Of two miles, would come off
Thursday, November 90, at 2P. n, between
their horses, Tom Mckinney and Sandy
Walton. Before the appointed hour, quite
anumber of both gentlemen and ladies were
turning into the track to witness the sport
carriages, buggies and riders on horseback
were coming in continuously that the
horses were not taken from the stables until
$3.50 o'clock; soon after which. they made
their appearance at the racing stand, both,
to the experienced eye, short of work for
the length of race in which they were about
to contend. AT twenty miHutss to O'Clock
the judges DR.. Phillips, Judge Lee and
Capt. Finnin, called the riders, Mr.. Newton
Knight the rider Of Sandy Walton, and
John, who had been selected to ride Tom
Mckinney, for Instructions which were
given by DR.. Phillips, the president of the
"Capital Jockey Club, > and directed to
mount their horses. Sandy was rather the
favOrite among the bettors; Mckinney,
however, had many staunch friends. In
casting for track, Sandy won the inside.
Capt. Ed. Finnin, the very prince Of start
ers, gave them an excellent send-off, Sandy
leading for about two hundred and City
yards, when Mckinney Tapped him and
passed the quarter pole fully length in the
lead; there was no perceivabIe change in
their position until making the tuTnintothe
home stretch, when Sandy gaihed z little
and made 3 rush for the first mile, but
Mckinney passed the judges stand a neck in
advance, in s5s and continued 50. toabOst

and taking tbs lead, ran home, winning the
1aoc in sss7, as fast Is could have been ez-
peoted on track made very heavy BY recent

''JAcoB," a correspondent Of the New
Orleans PseayuRe, in writing from Austin,
November 2S, says:
Many people assume that Texas has been
overdone by newspaper correspondents. !
do not. The hundredth part has not yet
been told. Having been a traveller in this
empire for just one week, your readers might
think could have but little to say. Such
is not the fact. The peculiarities Of this
great people strike a semi Cadinn like my
self with profound respect and feelingnot
unmingled with admiration.
After writing about Galveston aud Hemp
stead, he pays our city the following COM
pliment:
Austin seems to be the most progressive
town in the State. True, il has not had
that mushroom growth, which has been
characterized in the rapid development Of
Dallas, Denison, and other inland towns I;
but it has maintained q rate Of steady, Wig
orous and substantial improvement since
the war, which, unchecked for the next de-
cade, viii place it side by side with Atlanta
as an inland city, previous to the expiration
of that period. .
The heaviest trade conducted here Is IN
the lumber business. One dealer informed
me that his sales alone approximate 400
coo feet per month, and there are perhaps
ten dealers in the city, but am informed
that competition has ebbed the profits down
to spring tide. A great deal Of lumber Is
used up in the city, but much the larger
part is carted over the mountains, and
forms the most effective method known Of
driving poor 10 to his reservation.
The private residences of Austin are
almost unexceptionably Of q substantial
character, and in beauty Of design, decora-
tive taste and modern conveniences are UNI
excelled by those OF any Southern city.
Churches tower in moral grandeur from
almost every hilltop. But strange to say,
there Is not public school building In the
city, or both my :nformants and my vision
deceive me.
To make q substantial city Of Austin the
war Of capital and skill must be Increasingly
and energetically waged against the foothills
upon whose rocky crests the most lovely
part Of the city Is perched. Hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars must be expended IN
bringing Its streets to grade, ia filing up
uneightly hollows, Walling in, or archine,
dangerous rayines, constructing Water-tun-
nels mot sewers TO carry of with rapiditY
the immense volumes Of water which, de-
scending from the clouds upon the hillsides
behind the city, violently course, without
guide or channel, through lie principal
streets. The sooner these works are COM
pleted, the more economical win be the ex-
penditure.
