Anxious for u Narrow Gauge

A meeting of the citizens of .Gatesville
Ooryell county, Texas, was held a few days
ago to ascertain what conld be done to secure
to that town the extension Of the St. Louis
and Texas Narrow Gauge railroad from
Waco; or if this is not possible, to secure
some other road. VIM. Crittenden presided
and 9. Il. Cakes was secretary.
A committee was APPOINTED to secure sub.
scriptons, composed of prominent business
men, and they have already secured subscrip.
tions to the amount of $4,000 within few
days after the meeting.

ped annually from Coryell county, besides
other produce, and large numbers of horses
and cattle. The general opinion seems to
be that it would be n paying investment
to run road to Gatesville. If the people of
the county are willing to aid the project
literally, and point out sufficient induce
ments, the Republican has been reliably
informed that the line will surely be built tC

FRANCE IN AFRICA.

The French expedition to Tunis is pro-
duciDg results which were not calculated
upon. Perhaps the French Government
did not care much about Italian approval,
but it could not have foreseen that the
virtual annexation of Tunis would have
stirred up hornets nest in the neighbor
ing country of Tripoli, and that in attempt
ing to maintain order it would have fallen
foul of the Porte, and become entangled in
what appears to be a religious war with
the followers of Islam. The Sultan
seems to be endeavoring to regain his
lapsed authority as the head of the
Moslem Church by preaching a crusade
against the French throughout Africa.
The present ardor and fury of the Arabs is
undoubtedly due to religious fanaticism
more than to any other cause. And while
the French are of course more than
match for any Arab force which can be
eornered, the truth is that the Arabs as
a race refuse to fight according to rule.
They are fond of raids and dashes, and as
when pressed they retreat to the desert,
where no European troops can follow them,
it is impossible to deal with them az all
without very large army. And if, as
now seems probable, the Moslem rise
upon the French from Tripoli to Morocco,
they will be eng .ged in guerilla war,
of indefinite cot and duration. The
French experience in Algeria has taught
them how difficult it is to conquer the
circumscribed in their movements, and
Arabs even when the latter are measurably
the prospect of having to fight them all over
the country is anything but pleasant
one, The Sultan appears to be prepared
even for a war with France, no doubt
knowing that France dare not accept such
challenge. In fact she has already been
notified that any such extension of her
African programme as may bring her into
collision with the Tripolitan subjects of
the Porte will compel the'signatories of the
Treaty of Berlin to interfere for the main.
tenance OF the integrity OF that instru-
ment. Meanwhile, however, the Sultan is
obviously encouraging the Arabs every
where to rise against the French, and the
latter find that even if they escape the
misfortune Of a war with Italy, they are
threatened with series of campaigns
which are sure to be extremely expensive,
cannot possibly bring them either honor or
profit, and may lead them into further
of the most dangerous kind

rEE CONDITION OF THE PRESIDENT


The condition of the President yesterday
appears to have been on the whole favor
able, or at least not alarming. The most
serious symptom now seems to be his great
weakness, for if he should have any fur
Their relapses it may be questioned whether
he retains enough vitality to recover from
them. In regard to the apprehended dan
ger from pyania, or blood poisoning, there
is a strange conflict of authority. The ply
sicians who have been most closely in at
tendance in the case assert positively that
there are no indications of any such poison
ing. Other physicians, on the contrary,
declare that py;emia has appeared. Pub
lie anxiety is of course not relieved by
these contradictory professional views, nor
does the caustic criticism of certain doc
tors upon their brethren having charge of
the case tend to allay apprehension. We
suppose that it would have been impossible
to select any physicians who would have
been recognized by the profession uni
versally as the best in the country. Doc
tor are no doubt very human in their
weaknesses, and therefore there may be ten
thousand physicians in the country who
believe that they could have treated the
case more skillfully than DR.. Bliss and his
colleagues. The general sense of what is
right and proper at such juncture has,
however, led the profession generally to
hold up the hands of their brethren en-
gagged in the sick room at Washington,
and this is PROFESSIONALLY the one
right thing for them to do. Moth
ing is more inopportune than carp
ing or malignant criticism upon the
capacity of the doctors in charge. OF
course there are black sheep in the medical
profession, as in all others, and it must be
unworthy motives alone which impel the
utterance of such censorious remarks as
the press agent has lately been so i'll
advised as to send over the country. The
rational presumption is that the President
is being treated with as much skill and
care as could have been enlisted in the
case, and that if the outcome is after all
fatal, the result will be attributable to the
character of the wound, and not to any
want of knowledge on the part of the
doctors. The remarkable sensitiveness of
the patients stomach appears to us to be
of i'll omen, when viewed in conjunction
with his great weakness. 1t is through
the stomach alone that he can repair the
waste of vital energy caused by the drain
of his wound, and if that organ fails him
we do not see where his physicians are to
get the necessary leverage for their build
ing-up treatment.

JUSTICE CLIFFORD.

The death of Justice Clifford had been
long expected, but it nevertheless revives
the question of his succession as new
problem. He was seventy eight years Of
age, and was appointed by President Buch-
anan. He was ore of the few Democrats
on the Supreme Bench, and Justice Field
is now the sole remaining representative
of that party in the Court of last resort
The inevitable clamor of suggestion and
solicitation for the vacant place has of
course already commenced, and the press
will no doubt be actively occupied for
some time to come in making nominations.
There are several very obvious suggestions
in this connection, but it is not necessary
to make them at present. A Supreme
Judge ought to be selected with care, and
the place should not be given las has un-
fortunately sometimes been done) as re-
ward for political and partisan services.
If President Garfield lives we have no
doubt that he will make wise and gen.
orally acceptable appointment.

AN ARGUMENT FOR CREMATION.

DR.. Charles W. Purdy, of England, has
been addressing the Chicago Medical Soci-
iety recently in advocacy Of cremation, and
one Of his strongest and most telling argu.
ments was the great cost of funerals as at
present conducted. OF course this consid.
Grafton may be used apart from the advo.
cacy Of cremation, but wherever it is
employed it deserves attention. DR.. Purdy
said among other things Gone and one.
" fourth times more money is expended
" annually in funerals in the United States
" than the Government expends for public
" school purposes. Funerals cost two and
" one-haf times more money annually
" than would buy the grounds and build.
" ings Of all the colleges and universities in
America. The amount of money ex.
pended on funerals in the United States.
g if saved for fraction over four wears.
" would equal the total sum disbursed by
" our Government for pensions during the
" last twenty years. Funerals cost this
" country in 1881 enough money to pay the
" liabilities Of all the commercial failures
" in the United States during the same
" year, and give each bankrupt capital of
" IS, $50 with which to resume business.
" Funerals cost annually more money than
" the value OF the combined gold and silver |
. yield OF the United States in the year
" 1880" He said further that at the
average cost of burial in this country the
Christian world would spend annually for
funerals $500, 900, 900, and this would not
include the enormous sums paid for burial.
grounds and expended upon tombs and
monuments. In fact DIR. Purdy has made
t plain to the lowest comprehension that
lmong the leaks which consume capital and
iestroy the fruition of industry there are
ew more wasteful and absurd than the
'ustom which compels the family and
riends of dead persons to expend upon
heir obsequies amounts which would often
maintain the survivors fer years. An
Expenditure the saving Of which would in
wenty years discharge the national debts
