IT costs the railroad company the
same sum to transfer cotton bale from
Denison as from Waco to Galveston,
and the newspapers are making an sw-
full fuss about it. The only proper REM
edy is in the construction of railway
from Denison 10 Fort Worth or Gaines
vile and thence to Meridian and Aus
tin, and the extension of the Indlanola
road 30 Austin. Bat did it never occur
TO those who complain that If the Gen.
tral Railway Company made the cost
from Denison to Houston the same rela-
lively as from Waco to Houston,
that all the cotton of Denison and
Sherman would turn backward to
st. Louis and New York and thus
be lost to Texan roads and Texan mer-
chants. The Central's managers think
they should save this cotton to our own
cities, merchants snd roads even IL they
make no profit on its transportation.
should not Waco therefore rejoice
rather than complaint n the Central
Company stupidity suffered the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas to take all
the cotton of Northern Texas to
St. Louis, Waco would be forced
70 foot her share Of the bills, and in
stead OF paying, ss now, $3.50, would
Be forced to pay S. per bale. But the
true remedy for real or apparent wrongs
done by railway ID discovered in the
construction Of cheap competing roads.
These 30 enrich the country and multi
ply population that while the Central
would be forced to lessen its rates the
great increase in business would quad
ruple is profits. Bat in the c.se be-
fore us. Waco complains without lust
CAUSE. and the Central Railroad Com
psaz does wisely.

THAT President Hayes Is not mis-
taken in asserting the revival of busi-
ness activities and reproduction of
commercial prosperity everywhere is
shown in the fact that the commercial
messages passing through the New
York telegraph Office are 10. 900 greater
in number each day than at the same
date of last year. We would have
published this item day or two ago,
but were unwilling to wound the ten
der senslbilities of the rousing Gree n
backer, Mr.. Hamman, then sojourning
10 the capital. It. is too sad.

The grave questions that come up
from Judge Rlves' United States Court
of Virginia to the Supreme Court at
Washington must soon be determined.
Human freedom snd State and per-
sonal rights are deeply involved with
the very substIucture and philosophy
of our form of government. But why
should the politicians 90 mad about
these issuesY This court mult settle
them at last and finally and forever.
Legislation svails nothing. The issue
inheres in the country's organic law,
and this court is the only and final
arbiter. No wonder, therefore, that
the couIt evsdes and postpohes; but
the issue is made up. and the judges
must and mp in the presencs Of fifty
millions of lay and of countless
millions of al coming time and declare
tue law. One of the questions sub
nitted is: Can the United States
court imprisou the State judge for ex-
ecuting the State law violative of Fed
eral law sffechng negro rightt2 and
can the United States court imp:ison
the Legislature of Virginia for enactiDg
such laws and the Governor for ap-
proving and enforcing them? These
and all like questions, TO the discussion
of which two sessions of Congress
were exclusively devoted, must be de-
termined finally 5y the Supreme Court.

SOME idiot has alleged that the
STATESMAN is opposed to the educa-
ton of the people. On the contrary,
the STATESMAN has dared to fight grieY-
Gus popular prejuaices and sought to
induce the substitution for the exist
ing system Of the only means which
can be d, vised of educating properly
all the children of the commonwealth
in intelligence and morals. This miser-
able scheme nOv 10 vogue and defined
by our State Constitution and laws
should be destroyed. II the
State, through it's school funds,
will educate tie children of help
less poverty, republican populations
will guard here rs elsewhere the moral
as we'll as intellectual wellbeing of
their children. The State cannot do
this; the parent can. Therefore the
ineradicable hostility of the STATE ssMAN
to the free schools.

THERE is a beautiful quarrel between
the different patentees of the different
bell punches. The barkeepers propose
to take advantage of 1t, and one bell
punch fellow will not suffer Texas to
use the invention of another. and thus
the United States Patent Office comes
into the Texas ComptrolIer's office, and
all of them into the Federal Court, and
the Federal judge sings injunc:lons,
like sparkling, foamlng gin sllngs, fore
and aft, and the revenue from whisky
is damned up aud the Legislature is
damned up and down the river of
whisky flowing through Texas, which
needs levees worse than the Missls-
sippi.

THE growing trade and travel be-
tween Texas and st. Louis is such that
the Iron MouHtain Railway managers,
Allen, Loneax, Ruggles and the rest,
have agreed. the newspapers say, to
put on two daily express and passenger
trains. These men never make mis-
takes. They make these changes even
in the presence of q Texas crop les-
ssned by drouth. They have measured
the volume and riches of the progress
sive tide of immigration entering Tex
as and base their action upon the
States steady and rapid growth
IN wealth and population. Pa
pers, like the GlObe-DemOcrdt and
Inter Ocean would check our pros
perity, but toll for this end, as the
conduct OF the Iron Mountain Com
pany's managers show, in vain. They
publish such lies Of Us that knaves and
Williams are attracted and the honest
and virtuous repelled, and it becomes
therefore our province to hang scoun-
drels and murdere.s as rapidly as pos
sible. The fame of this beautiful oper-
ration, now progressive everywhere in
Texas, will do US infinite practical SER
vice, and finally out-do the two
great Radical newspapers of the West.
Our courts and juries, doing their
whole duty, as for six months past,
can hang the readers and believers Of
the lying newspapers faster than they
can furnish materials for our execution
ers, and the probabilities are that the
Texas gallows Will soon lessen by half
the number Of readers OF the great
st. Louis whisky ring publication.
There is nothing that will 30 enrich
Texas as facilities for access given by
the Iron Mountain, Texas Pacific and
other railways, and the rigorous exter-
mination OF villains, hurried into Texas
because they believe the representative
Republican newspapers of the West. il
the foremost duty that every citizen
owes to his country and his God.

Hon. THOMAS M. BOWEN, once of the
Supreme Court of Arkansas and almost
United States Senator, when Dorsey

the Republican State Convention of

GEN. CHALMERS wife was very sick
a few days ago in Virginia. He pro-

the execution of his wishes. Chalmers

and placid, and however tasteful his
scholarship and education, and reada-
BILE his orations, Chalmers Is as efficient

illness is next to godliness, and there
