The President has not put all of his
eggs in the Louisiana basket. He has
suddenly walked up to the fact that our
relations with Spain may be used to
make political capital out of. The
word "war" is whispered about the
white house. Not satisfied with the
ruin and misery brought about by
radical rule, he now leans toward bull
lying Spain into war to distract the
country's attention from his shameful
usurpations in New Orleans and Vicks-
burg. 1t is noticeable that neither the
president nor his cabinet have thought
it necessary to resent the insult to the
United States Spain offered in the Vir-
ginius massacre until now. The presi-
dent and his creatures in congress may
embroil us in difficulty with Spain
to satisfy Sheridan and Grants thirst
for blood, aud to enable the sboddy
contractors to replenish their eXcheq-
uers, but if they do, it is to be hoped
that no southern man will draw his
sword TO crafty the ambition of these
usurpcrs. Let them take their own
followers and butcher them if they
will. 1t is none of our funeral. If the
president had resented the Virginius
outrage at the time, he would have had
the sympathy of the south, but to wait
all this time and then try to use it as n
mere means of building up his own
fortunes, is contemplate. He can not
avoid the odium of his late tyrannical
interference in the affairs oftwo sover-
eign states by plunging an impover-
ished debt burdened people into a
senseless war. There is nothing, how
ever, that this sordid, callous and am
bilious man will stop at to crafty his
craving for money and power, and con-
gress is too cowardly to check him.

THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC OUT
LOOK.

From the best information The
HERALD can obtain, the prospects of
congressional aid are very propitious.
The iron men of Pennsylvania have
brought to bear their influence, which
Is great, and their representations rela-
tive to the advantages to business at
large of the resumption of this work,
have been most urgent and convinc-
lug. In about thirty days, II is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that work will be
commenced on the line between here
and Fort Worth. The cost of building
this part of the road will be about
thirty-tlve thousand dollars mile, Us
there is good deal of bridging, tressel
and rock. work to be done When
commenced, it will be rapidly pushed
on to Fort Worth, in order that it may
reach there before July, and thus pre-
vent any possibility of forfeiture of
the state land grant.
Now, if Congress should not decide
to guarantee the interest ON the COM
pany's bonds, rs asked by Mr.. Scott,
upon the terms he proposes, the line
between here and Fort Worth will be
completed and the Trans-continental
gap closed. The next move, without
congressional aid, would probably be
to secure a feeder by the closing of the
gap between Shreveport and Monroe,
and thus gain the immense passenger
and immigration traffic that nearer
route to the Atlantic states, the middle
states and the north and east would
give. Our people may rest assured
that nothing will be left undone to
command success in these enterprises,
and that Dallas will continue to reap
the reward of her enterprise and natu.
raj advantages of location.

Heai,hfnl Stimulation.

Difusible stimulants, provided they be
absolutely pure, are among the most useful
medicinal agents employed by physicians.
When the tone of the syst IN Is lowered by
the depressing influences of disease, or there
Is an inherent want of vigor in the constitu-
ton, they serve TO counteract weakening
tendencies. and cheer the mind of the des'
ponding invalid. But then, as in the case OF
Hostetters Bltters, they possess aonic ana al
terative properties, their effectsare rendered
permanent, and they accomplish trebly
beneficial result. The bitters not only re-
lieve nervous debility and mental depres-
sion by their BEAUTIFULLY stimulative action,
but infuse abiding vigor into the depleted
system, and rectify those internal disturban-
ces which are the real causes OF weakness.
The purity and the wholesomeness of the al
coholic basis of the bitters greatly Increases
the efficacy of their botanic ingredients, a
fact which the completeness of their cura-
tive effects su fficiently demonstrates.

FATHER GERDEMANN, the Catholic priest of
Philadelphia who recently seeded from the
Church under circumstances that led to his
being defendant in an action for breach of
trust and embezzlement, delivered lecture
last evening in Philadelphia, exposing the
Catholic system. There was great excite
ment and fears of riot But large police
force was present and the peace was pre-
served. Philadelphia is an infammable city
on religious questions, and its history is
stained with many dark and bloody deeds
arising out of these controversies.

who have charge Of transportation have rec
ognized the wisdom of this exception and
the obligation it imposes upon them of max
ing liberal subscriptions to the Centennial
stock. For every dollar of advantage that
/ the Centennial Exhibition Will be to Philadel-
phia we should say that there would be five
dollars of advantage to New York.
The assured supremacy OF this city
in wealth and facilities for accommo-
dating strangers, the swiftness of trans
portation, the opportunities for pleasure
seeking and observation and study in the
libraries, the churches and public buildings,
and the suburbs, of river and sea and hills,
will give to New York an advantage even over
Philadelphia which will largely benefit our
people. Therefore, when we urge upon our
merchants and citizens in New York to take
an active and pecuniary interest in the Cen
tennial, we are addressing them on a matter
which appeals directly to their own sense Of
profit and advantage
r. But, even in taking business view of this
question, we should not forget higher con-
siderations The Centennial will have his
tory, and history must show that this proud,
imperial Commonwealth of New York, and this
mighty city, its capital and queen, were not
indifferent to this great undertaking. AS the
writers OF this address said, "There is but one
way of rendering our position in this matter
satisfactory to ourselves and creditable in
history, and that is a prompt performance of
our full part in preparing for the ceremonies
that are to commemorate the founding of our
Republic"

Modern improvements.

The Kelley motor whose inventor pro-
poses presently to draw train of cars from
New York to Philadelphia without fire or
steam and with the help only of small
bucket of water, promises now to be outdone
by the Schroeder air ship, whose inventor
will be ready in o few weeks to carry twelve
thousand pounds of mail matter through the
air from New York to Liverpool Meantime,
we hear of a new electric engine which is to
pump water and move machinery at q ridicu-
lousy low cost and with no more attention
than is required to stick in a new piece of
zinc occasionally or Gil the battery cups with
water as this evaporates. Frenchman has
perfected, it is said, new lamp, whose flame,
as brilliant as that of the electric light, is pro-
duced by the economical combustion of nitric
oxide gas with the vapor of bi-sulphide of
carbon. A well known New Yorker
has recently perfected al egg-hatching
machine, in which the temperature
is controlled and regulated by electricity. 1t
is already possible to send several messages at
the same time over the same wire, and, in
deed, to send messages both ways at the same
time and there are electricians who believe
that still more remarkable uses of the electric
fluid will presently be discovered
If this kind of thing is to 60 on a new pang

when the Schroeder air ship takes good Bos-
tonians to Paris in six hours and the Kelley
motor propels ordinary freight trains at the
rate of one hundred and twenty miles an hour
when single telegraph wire can be used by
dozen or twenty people at once when the

The Black Hills.

AS there is now known to be gold in paying
quantities in the Black Hills, and as the
miners went there in spite of the govern
ment and the Indians on the mere chance
that there was gold there, they will go now
on the certainty in far larger numbers. There
may not be exactly stampede from other
mining districts, but the movement will be
lively so that we must soon have either a
treaty with the Indians to extinguish their
title or fighting between the Indians and the
miners, or some effective action on the part
of the army to keep the miners out
Which shall it be? How the govern
ment can keep the miners out without
calling for hundred thousand troops we can
not see how the government can make q
treaty with the Indians who will not treat,
is equally beyond ordinary vision; but one
eyed man could make out exactly how the In
dams and the miners can come together to the
serious disturbance of the roots of the miners
hair. That must clearly be the result one
of these fine days of this thirst for gold,
that regards no restraint of peace
or respect for the law. Our readers will
presently be startled by report of the mas
sacre of camp of miners, or two or three
camps, and the country will be Mortified,
and the government will be called upon to
chastise the savages, and there will be clamor
for an Indian war, and no one will stop to
consider that the noble red man has only done
what the noble white man considers his great
est glory-fought for his own.
