THE Silver City Herald tells us that
"A, 900 pounds of copper have arrived
at Silver City, New Mexico, from the
Clifton copper mines, and $4,000
pounds are en- route for that place. If
the Austin and Northwestern narrow
gauge were begun it would stretch it
self steadily to FL Paso, and finally
furnish the route for heavy freights
from New Mexico to the sea coast.
Houston, Galveston and Austin must
enter into an alliance to hasten this re-
suit. The Denver and Rio Graude
narrow gauge (three-fooO road is
steadily extended in this direction,
and Texas aud Colorado should effect
an interchange of products over this
railway, and through the Intervention
of these cities. The task is easy, and
only needs to be begun. He who ac-
complishes it will be the greatest ben
efactor Texas has ever known. The
time was when political haranguers of
mobs and psrty-leaders and olfice-seck-
ers were the country's great men. But
their statues are overthrown, and none
like them are now uplifted. Carpet
bngiSm and degraded suffrage have
changed modes of popular thinking,
and they alone are deemed great who
render practical services to the people
and State. Who will write their
names intellectually on the country's
surface, in letters flron, from Calves
ton, Houston and Austin to Ell Paso
and Denver!

The people, fearing typhoid fcvers
that spring from foul vaults, cellars
and filthy alleys, and from soil full of
impurities absorbed for thirty years
from uncleaned vaults, would glIdly
have two lines of underground earthen
pipes from Capitol square to the river.
These pipes, so the gas filter in the
rear of Brackenridge's bank states, can
be put down for les per foot. 1t is
worth million to Austin to maintain
its fame for healthtulnesS. II we may
iHaugurato sobgiety and then assure the
perpetuation of that hygienic condi-
ton which nature originally gave the
place, Austin will become and remain
the choicest spot i'll Texas for schools
and for the home life of those who
would live delightfully."-. The cost is
trfling and results would be of meal
culsble value. The water now forced
through the city in all directions
should not return to the river through
the cutters exposed to the action of the
SIMS rays distributing poison by evap-
Grafton among homes and places Of
business. A great crime will be per-
petrated, IL the murder of commuui-
~ be criminal, if they who shape the
city's legislation suffer the hot sum-
mer's sun to come upon US when no
provision has been made for the purif-
cation of cutters aud stagnant pools
that must be formed everywhere from
Capitol squsre to the river.

and the HeTaLd's ideas, if the editorial
were produced before breakfast, need
ed the clarifying influence of a cock
tail. Our contemporary does no, be-
leve the corrective commensurate
with the evil" Nobody ever dreamed
OF finding any boon the equivalent OF
this calamity. II we can repress and
regulate and restric,. infinite good will
surely be accomplished. Prohibition
will not allay a cultivated thirst; it
will not prevent the manufacture or
importation of whisky; it NAV make
no old topper drink less by rendering
access to whisky inconvenient; but it
will repress social, conyivlal drinking.
It will protect youths against gilded
vice and temptation, and the hipb-
way to ruin viii rs sought as
the Highway of fashion and ele-
gage. None but old soakers will
be seen drunk, and drunkenness
will be objectionable. "Local option"
will not effect instantaneous reforms in
the morals or prosperity Of the com
munity, but when the "Old Guard, -
now making their last charge at this
Waterloo, have fallen there are none
recruiting their ranks, and when the
last Of them is buried by whisky, there
are not, as now, half dozen young
soldiers ready TO take their places IN
The red-visage1, blesr-tyed, tunultous
and tattered army whose Napo con is
whisky. Immediate striking results
are not possible. The law will accom-
plish its objects slowly, but when
| achieved the sun in its course around
the globe will illumin. no dwelling
place of man more attractive
than that which the STATESMAN
and Herald inhabit. No country
will be freer from the presence
of red-ha1ded crime, none boast OF
more intelligent and industrious popu.
lations, and no people will have more
charming and attractive homes. In
such land the aged would gladly
leave an inheritance to their children,
and such land we have not, and such
homes and people we cannot have
while the vice that begets all vices and
all crimes and besotted ignorance,
transmitting them to posterlty, flaunts
its charms in the face of heaven, anG
people contemplate its deformities til
they become resistless charms.
The Herald is right. "No cor
rective is commensurate with
the evil, and none can be conceived
of that would be. We must be
content in effectihg a reform that
reaches the foundations of society and
government, to move slowly, and re-
strlction must precede annihilation.
The body polite is too deeply and
thoroughly diseased to withstand the
use of the knife. When there are
forty bar-rooms in Austin, of 1000
inhabitants, receiving on an average
$50 each per diem, or 81, 10000 pei
annum, the city drinking itself W
each five years, and whisky digging
the graves of half those that die-ir
