When the Sunset road was about to be eX-
tended westward, the railroad Officials called
upon the city to designate their route through
the city limits from lneir depot ON Austin

company with Major Converse and his en-
ginecrS and the city engineer, after examining
the ground, concluded TO allow the road TO be
built along the mission ditch and down Walnut

THE GALVESTON NEWS EXPRESSES
SOME HOMELY TRUTHS.

The Galveston News expresses some homely
but terrible truths in the following lines in
commenting upon represent democratic state
administration
The News recognizes tho embarrassment of
the state treasurer. the last lonely remnant left
10 the incoming administration from the I'M
fortunate regime that is removed from the
public stage simultaneously with the disappear
ance or the public domain, vast areas OF the
Scnooi liilds ana prncely sums of money be-
longing to the school fund, sunk in extortiOn-
ate premiums and discounts, and with the re-
hewa! OF h1teen years longer of state prison
lease that results in building up private for
tunes through u most iiugrant perversOn Of
the penal system.
All, to escape the terrible fate of the Davis
regime; to elect John Ireland and John
Hancock, the whole democratic press and
democratic orators and democratic candidates
had to lie, and lie, and lis, and thu. deceive
the people into a false sentiment to
vote for continuance Of the ruin
Gus policy that has robbed the state
of its public domain hlched from the school
fund S1oo, 900 in the way of premium on
state bonds; and brutalized humanity by its
penitentiary policy The News says also:

end OF all things. This fact is recognized in

years. W neither the retiring officials go into

Sary FOR their support, and ii is simply cutting
the ground from under their feet to pay il out
in such large parcels ut this time by way of
premiums to hondhOldcrS. These are hOmclv
truths which the press has insisted upon.
This Immaculate fraud known as the DEM
ocratic party run by such frauds as John
Hancock, Frank Lubbock, Roberts
Co., is the party the people of Texas has
trusted their affairs to, and they must abide
the result. The News has aided and allotted
this administration; it is party to all that is
criminal and wrong in the government of the
state. In fact, the News is the more guilty
because it has been large factor in dem

That New Iron Fence.

Coming down sedate old Ann
Street, yesterday, we were suddenly
arrested by Barna Powell's new iron
fence surrounding his most sub
stantial stone wall in front. While
very ornamental, it will certainly
be most enduring, being construct
ed exclusively of wrought iron,
posts, panels, pickets, tips and all,
without the use of any cast iron,
whatever. 1t is u novelty in this
city, and was made, as we learn, by
Allen & Munson, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio. 1t is certainly commenda-
bic for strength, style, and archi.
tectural beauty.

Poor President.

Amidst all the rush and wrestle
for position, few stop to think Of
the miseries and remorses of big
mistakes in high places. We doubt
if President ever was 30 universal
ly berated by those who made him
President, as is his Excellency,
Chester A. Arthur. AS showing
the nature of the milder criticisms,
this extract from the Pittsburgh
Christian Advocate:
"By official influence be forced
candidate for Governor upon his
party, and has received its censure
for forgetting that he was Presi-
dent and not ward politician.
Notwithstanding his elevated 10
sition, he is to be pitied, for if pos
sessed of keen sensibilities his pain
must be exquisite. The fate of
other Vice Presidents succeeding
to the Presidency must rise up to
mock him and assure him that his
shall not be unlike theirs. His
history will be no break in that of
others that have preceded him from
Tyler down. Better an obscure po-
sition fitted to ones capacities, than
high one with no capabilities to
fill it,"

Whose Personal Libertyl

The following extract from an
address by Miss Frances Willard,
at Des Moines last Jure, will bear
reproduction:
ain whose personal liberty is the
saloon keeper most interested ? Is
he not like the Shareholder of 9TH
er days who meant by that express
sion, his own liberty to enslave an
other class? And does not the sa-
loon keeper practically seek the
liberty to enslave the drinker? He
knows that is the tendency with
all his patrons, and the actual CON
dition of many. But this very fact
binds them more closely to him
their liberty diminishing as his
own is increased. We do we'll to
look carefully at this phrase-per-
chance it may be found to prove
too much"
