JusT now there are many Germans
coming to Texas, both from the North
and Europe. Texas has already heavy
German population, and the people of
that nationality have ever been among
our best and most useful citizens. 1t
has been demonstrated that it costs less
to govern the German nation than any
other. on economical grounds then, if
no other, Texas welcomes the Germans
to her soil

The Custom House Investigation.

New York, May 1.-THE Custom
House Investigating Committee continu-
ed its labors to-day. The following letter
from Naval Officer a. B. Cornell, in an
swer to request by thc'Committee, was
read:
Mr.. JOHN JAY-Sr: In compliance
with the request Of your committee that
| would advise you what subdivisions in
this Office are most exposed to n violation
Of law by the acceptance OF gratuities or
by completely in frauds, and also that
would present my views as to the causes
OF and remedy for such Irregularities,
would respectfully state that | consider
the entry, liQuidating and warehouse
clerks the only ones particularly ex-
posed to SUCH Irregularities. Those
are the only clerks whose action would
affect the amount Of duties to be collected.
The cause Of such difficulty | would "a.
cribe to temptation offered by those who,
desiring TO gain an advantage over their
rivals, defraud the Government Of its
revenue by seeking to control the action
Of clerks by bribery under the polite
name OF gratuities. 1t is difficult 10 sug.
gest an adequate remedy for such abuses
since they originate with those over whom
there is no official control, can con.
ceive OF protection other than careful
selection OF persons to fill such exposed
positions, together with n rigorous pun.
