stock than to hear of them constantly kill
ing one another. Yet as both happen
frequently, let US have all of it SO that we
may know just what the country does pro-
duce. I intend to move TO Texas Mr..
Powers must know that for every desperate
and thief that comes to a lust end in West
ern Texas, a thousand good citizens are
added TO It's population; and, with the end
of such men, 1t is reaching out far, and
rapidly approaching u purer society. We
deplore, however, the means, seemingly as
sumed by nature, to produce such a result.
Dallas is a braggart. Her papers and
her people are continually boasting about
what they have done and are about to do,
and frequently make themselves ridiculous
by their exaggerated aud contradictory
statements. For instance, the Herald of
the twenty-fourth ins.. is pleased to note
that work on the Dallas and Wichita Rsil-
way is being pushed forward with COM
mendabl- sigor. Grading is being carried
on, while large force is getting out ties to
supply the road, over ten miles of these
having already been delivered along the
line" A great deal of printers ink has
been thus expended in pushing forward
the work on this most important enter
prise" Work has been commenced on it
two or three times year for the last three
or four years, with great flourish of type.
The grading and bridging has been COM
pleted to Denton county several times.
Only few days ago the Herald had the
rails purchased and track-laying about to
commence. That showed ''commendable
vigor. and We hoped that :he new regime"
was actually going to show us that a
railroad could be built with gas; but to
cur disappointment and disgust the Herald
has gone back to where it left off last year,
and commenced grading again. OF course
it is all gasconade about rails having been
purchased and ten miles of ties delivered.
Dallas is great city-builds roads, in q
horn, and pays interest on debts in the
same style.

THESE spasmOdic little local revolts in
Mexico avail nothing and signify nothing,
and are only destructive Of popular indus
try. The army stands by Lerdo and no re-
volt can be successful while the President
yields this agency Of power. 1t is surely
unfortunate that disturbances beyond the
Rio Grande are persistently misrepresented
and exaggerated. With what purpose, an
less there be those who would have war
between Mexico and the United States, we
clnnot comprehend. Col. Parrat, com
handing Lerdo's forces, marched uninter-
rupted from Monterey to Matamoros, and

The Victoria AdrOoate says that it may be
true that the construction of Tom SCOTS
proposed st. Louis and Guayamas road
would lessen freight charges for a time
across the continent, but Tom Scott has
never demonstrated any generous feelings
towards the people living near the many
hundred miles of those roads now under
his control, and is it to be expected that
this new line will awaken better impulses
within himl The Texas Pacific will become
another monopoly unless the proper legis-
lation be thrown around it. 1t is not the
part of the Texas press to labor for the
building Of a road which will never benefit
this State in the least. Tom SCOTS Pacific
scheme was insugurated in behalf of Penn
sylvsnia's interests, and is uudeserving the
name Of Texas Pacific"

TIE STATESMAN said:

What was modesty two years ago is in
tolerable prudery now. Men and women
talk of facts affecting relations of the sexes
and the vices of society with a degree of
freedom never known before. The relig-
ious press dares not ignore the universally
of social vices in social life. Through the
intervention of Beecher, we have learned to
discuss them with almost unrestricted free
dom, and when Mrs. Woodruff presents her
self to suggest and define plans for the
amelioration of these woes and prevention
of universal social crimes, the existence of
which the Christian Advocate does not deny,
we are willing that they who confess an in
terest in the well-being of society should
give the eloquent lecturer patient hearing.
The Sulphur Springs Gazette says:
II the above be not positive endorse
ment of Mrs. Woodhulrs code of ethics,
that is, ''the absolute freedom to both sexes
to adjust their love relations" to suit their
individual whims, we must confess that we
fail to understand the force of language.
Palpsbly enough the Gazette knows moth
ing of the 'foree of language" Mrs.
Woodruff never asserted here this freedom
Of the sexes, and the STATESMAN never
dreamed Of approving it.

The terrible killing of an excellent gen
tleman, VIM. H. Gazeley, and of his son,
by Aaron Burleson, begets great excitement
in Bastrop county. The prominence of the
parties makes the deed more horrible in the
eyes of the people, and so weary are they
of crimes and bloody deeds in Texas, that
their commission becomes dangerous. AS
we hear it on the streets, public opinion in
Austin will wreak fearful vengeance when
ever bloody deed is done in this city.
Popular patience is exhausted and violence
must be still.

diers of his army than Braxton Bragg. Sher-
man is wise in commencing the sturdy old

to-day, and manager Knott resumed
his argument. At 1885 manager
Knott WAS interrupted in his argu-
ment in order that the Senate might
convene for regular business. Sar-
gent submitted the following pre-
amble and resolution which was
unanimously adopted: Whereas, it
appears that the vast influx of Chi
nese to the Pacific coast is working
great injury 10 the morals and labor
interests of the Pacific States and ter
ritoIi les, aud whereas, the existing
laws against Coolie traffic and the

Riot in the Garden City.

Chicago, May S.-A riot occurred
this morning in the lumber district
of this city. The striking lumber
yard men congrcgated at an early
hour and made such violent demon
strations against the men who were
working for reduced pay that the po-
lice interfered and handto-hand en-
counter ensued, during which several
shots were fired, some of which took
effect. The police arrested Il consid-
erable number of the rioters and re-
stored order.
Additional Particulars of Chicago's
Shaking Up.
There are but few additional facts
to give concerning Saturdays tor
nado. The steeple of the Hyde Park
Presbyterian church was blown down
but no serious damage resulted. The
lake shipping seems to have escaped
almost entirely uninjured, except
what vessels were inside tho harbor,
which were dismasted etc.
A Passenger Train Capsized,
About 6:30 last night the passenger
train on tine Illinois Central r. r.,
while near NATION, had five cars .one

the engine remaining on the track.
Nearly all the passengers were more
or less hurt. Following are the names

K. Ackerman, general auditor of the
Illinois Central had his thigh-bone
and left shoulder broken; Mrs. Ack-
erman's arm was badly jammed;
Hon. Peter Doyle, Secretary of the

Washington, D. c., May s.
After spending two or three weeks
in this city, with excursions to New
York and Philadelphia, some of the
leaders of the Independent and green
back movement convention, which
was TO have met at indianapolis next
week, have gone home rather dis
couraged. They propose to put it off
until the 4th of July, at Philadelphia,
and sIgDalize that event with dec
laration of their independence of all
parties, unless their peculiar platform
should be accepted at Cincinnati or
st. Louis. They tried hard to get a
Presidential candidate here, and
would have been glad to take Judge
Davis without committals. Morton
coquetted, and like Barkis, was will

BOSS TWEED DISCOVERED.
And Very Nearly Captured.

New York, May s.-The Herald
has letter from Midland, on Georgian
bay, Canada, stating that Boss Tweed
and two companions spent the winter
on the Muskaka river, thirty miles
from Midland, and one hundred miles
from Toronto. II appears that Tweed
and two men loaded small steamer
last November. just before the close
of navigation, with a great quantity
of provisions, and went to Parks
Mills, which have not been running.
Tweed and his companions lived in a
cottage all winter, the Boss keeping
dumb and it being given out that he
had received a paralytic shock On
the oath of April the steamer that
took them up last fall, arrived there
again with lot of provisions on
board, but did not leave for few
days. On Friday two detectives left
Midland and went to Parks mill,
reaching there Saturday. On being
discovered the whole of Tweed's party
fled on board the steamer by small
boats, the one on which the Boss en-
barked being sunk by ice and he get
ting ducking. Their escape in boats
was covered by some four men on the
steamer with revolvers, and shots
were exchanged with the detectives,
who were on the dock. The steamer
escaped with Tweed to Georgian Bay,
the detectives being unable to follow
but they expect to soon capture him.
