THERE Is little doubt that action in behalf
of the protection of the frontier will be
taken by Congress; but this failing, as in
former years, the Legislature of Texas is not
absolved from the memorable necessity of
according security to the people of the
western counties. 1t may be proper to sug-
gest that the cheapest, as it is surely the
most profitable, agency that can be employed
to exterminate raiders, COmanches and
''greasers, will be found in the Interna-
tional Railway. This will food Southwes-
tern Texas with white people drawn thither
by the unequaled attractiveness of fault
less climate and of country of matchless
fertility.

THERE is good prospect that a decrease
in the price of sleeping car berths will oc-
cur in the near future. The necessity for O
reduction is being strongly pressed upon
Mr.. Pullman, and it is altogether likely
that general drop in prices will occur in a
short time. Il is the intention Of the ILL
nois Central Railroad to lower the prevail
ing rate Of 50 to $1.50 as soon as some ne
gotiations now pending with the Pullman
Palace Car Company are concluded. By
this decrease the latter corporation will be
forced to lower the rate on the Chicago and
Alton Road, and then general reduction
cannot fail to ensue. From the present
charges made, it is estimated thata Pullman
sleeper, valued at $40, 600, pays FOR itselfin
the course of fifteen months.

LETTERS from Gonzales and LOckhart tell
that the people are thoroughly aroused and
deeply interested in the proposed railway
from Tom SCOTS Southern Pacific, through
Lampasas and Austin, to the coast. Sub
scriptions are literally made to the capital
stock of the company, and surely Travis
county and Austin will not be outstripped
in wisdom and generosity by counties south
or north of us. OF all counties, Travis is
most interested in the successful and imme-
date construction of this branch of the
Southern Pacific.

IF Southern States give Grant such deal
of trouble, why doesn't he turn them over
to Southern people, even as Massachusetts
is consigned to the tender mercies of its
own children It's a wonder Grant never
thought of this mode of escape from the
vexatious affairs of those two Adventures,
Ames and Kellogg.

When we come to the line OF groceries and
produce, the figures aIe not 50 favorable TO
Galveston on account OF the increased per
centagc Of freight charges on such goods.
In the matter Of machinery aud farming
implements, il is impossible for the North
ern aud Eastern firms TO compete with Gal
weston for the Texas trade. A branch New
Orleans house, by their special freigat ar
rangems nts. can sell here in Galveston
cheaper than st. Louis or Cincinnati or Chi
cago. These ere matters which It Is TO the
interest Of the merchants Of the interior to
ponder over. FREMONT.

TERRORS OF -FApTINE.

The pressure for money and suspension
of business becomes more and more terrible
and more and more widespread Our
dispatches this morning, and from every
quarter recently, show how the poor starye,
how the rich are everywhere asked to give,
and how the many, in States and cities less
fortunate than our own, are starving and
dying or begging foI bread. Famine threat
ems the poor even in Nashville and the
gaunt fiend of hunger stalks abroad every
where. And all this comes of Radical
misrue, of intolerable taxation by Federal
power, not the less ruinous because invisi-
BILE and effected through villainous banking
system and tariff code that would bank
rupt the richest country on the globe. De-
spite these facts the bondholders and office
holders demand the contraction of the cur
rency. More and more poor laborers, each
day, will thus be constantly elected from
places of employment and the sum of hu-
man suffering will grow great precisely as
the sum of currency is lessened. But bonds
become more and more valuable-they be-
come gold and Grant and his party and
friends are the bondholders.

4 Noble Work.

The high cost Of living and the tuition fees
have hitherto prevented many talented young
men from enjoying the higher education Of
the Colleges and Universities in Kentucky
These obstacles have been removed in some OF
the schools Of other States, and good men are
striving to remove them in our own. The
Board Of Trustees of Centre College, Danville,
have taken a step in this direction and they
hspe, in year or two, to 20 still further.
They have ordered to be fitted up rooms for
forty young men, which will be let to students
free Of rent, add to Tho virtually free, tui-
ton, and any boy who has the grip can make
the fight through Centre College. We are
glad to learn that several of the most prom
sing young men Of Lincoln have awaited
themselves of this splendid opportunity and
We hope that there will be many otherr The
rooms are assigned in the order Of application.
and Of course applicants who expect To secure
them should early signify their intention to ac-
cept. In case the rooms are all taken tuition
will then he free to thusel who desire it. The
necessary expenses Of boy who enjoys these
advantages need not go beyond 1925 per an
mum, aud can he reduced To a still lower point.

Died, at the residence Of his father, W. \.

Of perotimus, JIMMIE COLLIER, aged 10 years
ard one month.
Jimmy's health had been delicate for some
month-, but it was thought that he was i'm
proving rapidly, and ere long he would be
able to resume his place behind his father :
counter. On last Sunday he took a walk with
a number Of his companions, with whom he
was ever favorite a short distance in the

ment doing il. work Of mortality and pre-
pairing to take him home from earlh-depriv-
ing kind father of his darling boy and one
Of the most valued treasures of happy

WISE Providence. Upon his return home in
the evening, he was weak and fatigued, and
va. called again TO the bed of sickness where

came, which said, "a home il prepared for
thee in more bli-sful regions" when he died
without a struggle.
The deceased was member Of the NJ. L.
Church, a regular attendant Of the young
mems prayer meeting, and was ever ready to
offer up his humble prayer to that great God,
in whom he placed his trust, when called up
on in public, which have been answered. Yes,
he is gone. Those loved ones who watched
around his bedside and imprinted upon his
cold lips the last kiss Of love, will know him
no more forever, save in that dear image
which will remain until time is with them no
more upon their tablets of memory. Although
dead, he yet liveth enshrined in true aud low
ing hearts of father, mother, brothers, and
companions.
1t is sad to record and realize the death Of
one SO young, yet we trust that it will be
warning to Jimmy's gay and thoughtless
companions, who are yet permitted to remain
behind, enjoying life and health.
