watched the railroad movements,
and writes to the Chicago Times !:
"Gould's idea is to have an ocean
harbor of his own 'forall his Texas
system, and that harbor viii be at
the mouth of the Brazos, forty miles
west of Galveston. Then in the case
of yellow fever at Galveston or New
Orleans, the mouth of the Brazos
will always be open. Steamers can
only run up the Brazos during high
water. 1t is 1000 miles by rail from
the mouth of the Brazos, on the
gulf, to San Francisco. Mr.. Gould's
idea is to send heavy San Francisco
freights to New Orleans and the
mouth of the Brazos, and then cart
them up to Fort Worth and on west
to San Francisco, saving about 1900
miles of rail travel"

MANY of the papers had fashion

Quoted by Commissioner LeDuc.
but it must be admitted that he was
all the time making most val
liable experiments, which in
dividuals could not afford to
engage in, and which taught
farmers much they would not other
wise have known. He was not as
much of failure as many who enjoy
positions as cabinet officers, and
the country in his removal might
get a worse man, especially if the
incoming one be partisan.
DIR. Loring, it is said, will
continue many of the so-called
absurdities of Mr.. LeDuc. He
thinks the sorghum sugar-cane in
dustry likely to prove an important
one, and he proposes to observe it
closely, to- collect facts and figures
with reference to it and to promote
il in so far as he is able to do so. AS
for the experiments with tea-grow-
ing, the new commissioner has not
yet examined them carefully, but he
considers it "the duty ofthe govern
ment TO furnish means by which the
importance OF any crop can be ascer-
tanned" and the tea industry will
therefore have chance. .rG !

youth of this country should not for
all time be made to do unnecessary

THE condition of affairs in Ireland
is getting more and more serious.
The eviction process was met with
violent opposition, and the authori-
ties were compelled to depend upon
English bayOnets 10 enforce the pro-
cess. Vast throngs then gathered and
menaced the police and military and
now an order has been promulgated
against the assemblage of persons to
witness acts ofeviction. Should this
not have the desired effect, the gov
ernment will sustain its dignity by
marching up a few platoons, with
orders to fire upon the populace,
and then Ireland will be ablaze,
probably, with civil strife. Let us
admit that these people are unusual
ly turbulent and pugnaeious, but
also that they have endured much
wrong and have been abominably
misgoyerned. Possibly the former
fact may be accounted for by the
latter Certainly it is a reasonable
suppositIon that whole nation
could hardly be so united as the
Irish nation is now, in furious and
violent opposition to British domi-
nation, unless it is inspired by gen.
uine suffering and particularly may
we assume the existence of deep
seated and persistent condition
of evil when we witness
the occurrence of such out
breaks about once in every genera
ton. 1t is noteworthy that the
moderate men among the Irish
leaders are inclined to the opinion
that the best promise of solution of
the problem lies in the establish
ment of home rule, in the creation
of system which will permit Ire
land TO occupy a relation to the
British government similar to that
which Texas now occupies with re-
spect to the government of the
United States. The indications are
that this view is current one; at
any rate, when Irishmen have the
privilege of managing their own
affairs, subject only to the general
direction of an empire whose laws
bear equally upon all its parts. the
spirit of discontentment, if it shall
remain, will be expended at home,
and not upon what Irishmen must
regard as a foreign power. ".

THE Texas & Pacific railway is
now completed to point in Tom
Green county less than 800 miles
east Of III PasO, and the completion
of the line is being pushed at the
rate of about two miles per day.
The managers of the road assert
that the connecting link be-
tween the western end of
tho Texas &--Paeifie, and tire.
Southern Pacific will be filled in by
September. The road win cross the
Pec9s river near Fort Stockton,
strike the Rio Grande near old Fort
Quitman, and then follow that river
to Fl Paso, The progress OF. these,
two roads calls attention to disputes,
arising between them, which are
how getting into the courts. Con-
gress made a grant of lands in 1871
to the Texas & Pacific company to
aid it in building its railroad to the
Pacific coast, granting every alter
nate section of public land on each
side OF. the railroad as such line
might be adopted by the company.
The company adopted a line and
filed maps Of it in the department
of the interior, and lands twenty
miles In width on each side of the
line were Withdrawn from sale to
fulfill the terms of the grant. Like
all railroad grants, this took instant
effect, and the lands belonged to
the Texas and Pacific company from
the date ofthe grant, subject to be
forfeited only in case the company
should not build its road or the gen
eral government should choose to
forfeit it. Without the consent Of
the company, and against its will,
says counsel for the T. 4 p. company,
the Southern Pacific company built
a railroad largely within the grant
of the Texas & Pacific, without the
authority of congress for so doing.
This organization claims TO hold it's
rights under, the general rights-of-
way act of congress, which was
passed in 1875, four years after the
grant TO the Texas 4 Pacific. 1t is
claimed by the latter company that
this general act gives no rights TO
the Southern Pacific, for two rea-
SONS First, that congress could
not give rights in 1875, which it had
already granted in, 1871 and, second,
that it did not undertake to give any
rights to lands which had been
previously Withdrawn from sale.
The result is that Injunction suits
have been begun, and unless Gould
and Huntington compromise there
IS going to be fearful railroad war.
