GALVESTON, Texas, promises to be one of
the most thriving cities in the Union in the
not far distant future. 1t has already taken
from New Orleans a greater portion of
its former traffic with the extreme South
west and Mexico, and as new lines of rail-
way connection augment its facilities, it is
certain that it will eventually become the
centre Of trade for vast section of coun-
try. On the Goth inst. consignment of
bullion, valued at $138,37 from Mexican
mines, was received by prominent firm
of that city. Referring to this incident the
Ne10s says:
90 The treasure was conveyed from that
country by carts to the present terminus Of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
railroad, and was thence forwarded to this
city for distribution. 1t is by far the largest
amount ever received here from that quarter
at any one time. But it is inconsiderable COM
pared with the volume Of such products that
will eventually pour into Galveston from the
mines of Mexico by all rail transportation from
the Mexican boundary, and even from the far
Mexican interior. In spite Of all obstacles this
connection is destined to be at last an accom-

inhabitant. The rate of taxation has in-
creased from one half of one per cent. in
1906, to two and eight-tenths per cent. IN
1874. Truly the great metropolis is not
pleasant place for poor man to live IN.
The cause of this sad condition of affairs IS
plain. Respectable and honest citizens as
a rule, abstain from any connection with
political affairs, and allow themselves to De

ATTENTION is directed TO the report of
the meeting held last night by property
holders on Pennsylvania avenue for the
purpose of securing a new pavement be-
tween the Capitol gate and the Treasury
Department. The present condition Of
this portion of our splendid Avenue is
simply insufcrable and disgraceful. A
new pavement is demanded by every con-
sideration of public policy, and we trust
the Commissioners will give the subject
that attention its importance deserves, for
the movement originates spontaneously
from merchants, property holders and
business men without the slightest regard
to political sentiment. A legal construc-
ton OF the law under which the Commits
sioners act in favor of the petitioners, is
probably not hedged about with difficulty.
1t should be remembered that the pave
ment of this portion of the Avenue was
laid before the organization of the Board
of Public Works.

would receive the support of all good citizens.

1t is we'll understood that the Detective press
deals so generally in sensations and exaggera-
tiOns that its readers have ceased to regard
any of its statements seriously. But we have
hesitated to class the Post in this category.
If it seriously maintains, however, that not
withstanding its reform movement, directed
by Governor Tilden through the Committee of
Seventy, the city is still in the hands of the
thieves, and this because a majority of its citi-
zeDs are dishonest, we shall be forced to be-
Iieve it. The mighty efforts of the Metropoli-
tan press in favor of reform have all been
wasted if we may credit the statements found
in its own columns. All! it should never have
left tie post of watchfulness at home to stop
small leaks in the treasures at Washington
and Albany. While it claims to have stopped
the expenditure Of some two or three millions

sionally taken out for an airing, which holds
that the State is sovereign, not in few strict
ly defined relations, but as fixing the national
authority and marking out its limits. This
theory has long been merely a venerable relic,
but it is at the present juncture anonymously
absurd, since the State of Missouri was origi-
nally purchased by the money Of the nation,
over which 1t claims paramount authority, and
since its government did more recently attempt
to exercise such authority and was most incon-
tinently put down for so doing. If we had
such a provision in our bill of rights, 1t might
reconcile us to 4 constitutional recognition of
the excelIencies that are claimed for the lost

GENERAL SHERMAN's MEMOIRS will

criticisms its publication have provoked are

that while he commanded some of the
