IMMIGRATION.

The Missouri Pacific, Kansas and
Texas, st. Louis. Iron Mountain and
Southern, Texas and Pacific, Inter
national and Great Northern. Gulf.
Colorado and Santa Fe and Dallas
and Wichita railroads have combin-
ed their immigration interests and
organized the South Western Immi-
grafton Company, under the laws of
Texas. Their object is TO induce
immigration to Arkansas, Texas and
Louisiana. The company intend to
enlist all the roads in these States,
will make a mighty effort to settle
and develop these rich but Yet un-
cultivated lands. The governor of
Arkansas has been appealed to for
cooperation and has been asked to
furnish statistics of the resources of
the State. The company will at
once open an Office in New York,
and will establish agencies in vari-
Gus parts of the United States and
Europe. This movement, properly
seconded by the citizens, will give
these hitherto backward States the
biggest boom they have ever known,
and nothing but downright stupid
ity can prevent them from advanc-
ing rapidly to the front rank.

COAST CATTLE TRAIL.


The Stockmcn's Convention at
Fort Worth appointed committee
to defiue certain trails on which
southern cattle may be driven, and
to present the petition of the stock
men to the legislature The com
mittee recommends that said south
crn cattle be confined to two miles
on either side of the now established
trail, which crosses the Brady
Mountains at Salt Gap, thence 10y
way of Santa Anna Mountains,
thence 10y Callahan City crossing
North Hubbard Creek at the old
Camp Cooper Crossing, thence to
Fort Griffin, thence two miles east
of the town of Seymour, thence on
the old trail to Doan's Store on II, d
River.
The committee also recommends
that a fine of five cents head be
imposed for violation of this law and
that each day said cattle are off the
prescribed trail shall constitute n
separate offensc. The Texas Live
Stock Journal argues that it will G
of advantage 10 drovers because
they will not be troubl, d with cut
ting out loose cattle as in the 0 d
way Of driving, that cattle lost J Y
one through drover may be picked
up by the next and returned when
the market is reached, that against
dishonest drovcrs this would act as
a protection, that the spr, ad of the
disease among native cattle would
he prevented, and that the Pan Han
die, which is rapidly filing up Will.
blooded stock, would be avoided en-
tirely.
Pan Handle stock men claim thai
the loss last year from contact will
Coast cattle amounted to enough to
pay for all such stock driven through
that section.
When such facts are considered
it is easy to see why the Pan Han
die people are so anxious to have /.
law passed for their protection, They
are introducing high grade stocl,
which makes their herds every day
more valuable and more subject to
the disease. We hope the law may
be passed and their commendahlo
enterprise be properly protected,
The cattle interest is about the only
one worth mentioning as pertaining
to that section of Texas, and it is
the part of wise legislation to pro
tect il from destruction, which must
result if Coast cattle are allowed to
be driven indiscriminately.

Editorial Notes.

The Sumner County Democrat is
defunct, and that county is without
a Democratic organ. The Press
thinks it is not the fault of the par
tv. but that it is the result of mis-
management and dishonesty on the
part of the late proprietors. The
Wellingtonian is raised out of the
ashes of the Democrat and in pre-
tense, at least, is Republican sheet.

tense, at least, is a Republican sheet.
Coast cattle driven into the mount
aims of Colorado do not commune
cate Texas fever to the native accli-
mated cattle there. But let these
same Colorado cattle be driven to
the Pan Pandle and grazed on land
over which southern cattle have pass
ed and they contract the disease and
die as rapidly as do the best natives.
Representative Haskell has intro
duced q bill to establish a United
States Court Mt Wichita, to have ju-
risdiction over this part of the Terri
tory. The Kansas City Journal says,
in effect, that the Kansas border fur
nishes as many Territory outlaws as
does Arkansas, and in view of this
important fact that paper favors the
establishment of the court. Whctl.-
er this he true or not cuts no figure
in the case Certain ii is that such
court would be n blessing to the
law abiding people of this section
The distance TO Fort Smith is So
great that few persons can afford the
time and money to 60 there to at
tend a prosecution, to say nothing OF
the difficulty of getting out warrants
and making arrests.

Dsnville, Pa, 5.-About o'clock FIRE

the insane asylum, two miles north Of

partment was IN hames, which rapidly
spread to the male department. At this
hour the fire Is still burning and te e.
grams are being sent to surrounding
towns for assistance. Great loss Of lire
Is reported. there were 400 or 500 in
mates Of the asylum, of whom the greater
part are supposed 10 be lost. Some OF
theIa have escaped 10 the woods and are
difhcslt TO find, but is believed 81 this
time that most of them persisted.

THE CABINET.
what Editors Think of 1t.

New York, 6.-From the World: The
presidential mountain in labor has
brought forth litter of cabinet nice
/ Wo men alone of positive strenth and
weight tould be excepted from his YER
dict-Blaine and mes. Ii we st aside
blaine, representative of the most en-
erge ic and progressive element of the
republican party, and James, as q repre-
sentative Of administrative experience,
the remaining offices are so filed As to
nullify the value Of the cabinet either for
the republican party or for public ad-
ministration The World considers the
appointment Of Window as amazingly
unfit.
The Herald Iays the cabinet is q body
of vigorous men, most Of then young.
Window, JsUes, Lincoln, Blaine and
McVe-Rh are all in the prime of vigor
and manhood. We cannot call il an able
cabinet, by ne means as able as that OF
Hayes. We should say that Blsine ia
the ope man of genius. Tie one real
leader. The country will see not such a
cabinet as was formed by Pierce, Bu-
chanan or Lincoln, but a group of earn
est, practical men, devoted to the repub-
lican cause and anxious to do their best
to support the President and serve the
nation. The cabinet begins its work with
the confidence Of he country, and is de-
serving the condolences Of the republican
party. We congratulate President Gar
field upOn having, on the whole, done
well.ss he has done We give to him
and 10 his constitutional advisors our best
wishes for successful, conservative and
brilliant administration.
Cincinnati, 5.-Republicans express
satisfsc ion with the makeup of the cab
met. The leaving out of Foster is re-
garded as pre-id-ntial matter. 1t is
believed tina: Foster sequiesced in this
necessity.
The Commercial will say, tomorrow,
that the formation OF the cabinet is q
happy solution Of q somewhat difficult
problem. Leaving Foster out was wise,
as to select him would look too much
like the President was providing for a
second term. TIE appointment of James
as postmaster general is strong. While
the Pre-ident has not asserted himself
strongly, he has secured finely balanced
cabinet, and one with strength enough for
any probable Emergency.
/ he Enquirer will say: Garfield has
shown Ingrati-ude in failing to appoint
Foster, and that Blaine will be the con-
trolling power in the cabinet.
Chicago, 7.-Robert T. Lincoln, the
newly appointed secretary of war, leaves
tomorrow morning for Washington, to
assume the duties OF that portfolio. His
wife who is daughter of ex-senator
Barlan. Of Iowa, accompanies him, and
their three children will follow Ia few
days.

Washington Alarmed.

New York, THE Hera'd's Wash
ington, on POSSIBLE removals, says: The
people employed in Washington depart
ments make up 90 considerable part of
its l,opu alton, that the prospect Of demo-
cratic SUCCESS, which, is was presumed,
would mean the general removal of the
present force, seriously affected the resi-
estate market during the early part Of
last falls canvass. The prospect Of
many removals would have the same
eff ct now, for it would mean that a
large amount of property would be
thrown suddenly on the market. There
will necessarily De come changes in the
higher bureau officers. because some OF
them have not conducted themselves
well. For Instance, there can be little
doubt that Acknowledgement James
will fine a substitute for second Assistant.
