THAT MERIT AT
TENTION.

There are continued complaints con-
cerning the character of the government
work that is being done at the mouth of
the Brezos river. The burden of the
complaints ;s TO the effect that appro-
priations are being frittered away and
little or no Improvement is being made
IN the work of getting a deeper channel
across the bar. These allegations come
with persistent earnestness from the
people and press Of that section-those
who have practical interest in the sue
cessful progress aud completion uf the
work. The EXAMINER does not pretend to
cay or even conjecture how weIl-founded
the complaints are. Iu the very nature
OF things people at a distance from the
scene OF operations cannot be familiar
with the nature Of the work instituted
for the improvement of the very impor-
tant port of Velasco. We merely know
that the protests are entered and that
they come from sources that merit
hearing, at least The chief animus
seems to be directed at Colonel Mans
field, the engineer III charge OF the
Texas coast improvements. From some
cause he appears to have lost the con-
tidence of the people adjacent to the
mouth of the Brazos. We do not
know that he is charged with in
competency, but there are init
nations that Colonel Mansfield is so
welded to the Importance of improving
Galveston hsrbor that he is willing to
allow other points to suffer, even at the
cost Of frittering the appropriations for
such points. Now, ali this may be very
unjust to Colonel Mansfield, who has the
reputation of being a quite capable and
reliable officer OF the engineer corps. IL
injustice is being done him he deserves
vindication If the complaints concern
ing him are well founded the causes
should be removed. At all events the
matter will bear inquiry and iuvestiga-
ton, and we commend it to
the Texas delegation, especially to
the member from the fifth district.
Galveston deserves the most intelligent
and liberal attention. AS q matter Of
fact she deserves preference, but there
the partiality ends and on no account
should it be converted into positive in
justice toward other points, such as Sa-
bine Pass, Velasco, etc. All these ports
merit Improvement for they are essen
tial to the development of the state.
We hope this generation will live to see
the day when lines of railroad will seek
tide-water at the points named, there to
meet sea-Going vessels Of heavy draught,
II they are being sighted the process
should cease. The people who complain
Of Col Mansfeld's policy are reputable
enough to be listened to,and if Col.Mans-
field is doing the square thing by We
lasco he will court rather than deprecate
the most thorough investigation OF the
matter.

The Centennial Of Methodism.

Philadelphia Record.
At the weekly gathering of Methodist
ministers yesterday Revs. Peter Lamb
and o. II. Tiffany were appointed dele
gates to meet the professional commit
tee of the American members OF the
late Ecumenical council to arrange for
centennial celebration OF the introduce
tion OF Methodism IN this country. The
celebration Will be i'll March, 1884. The
ministers indulged III an informal
discussion concerning their form Of
worship. Rev. Anthony Atwood de-
clared that the tendency of the present
generation of Methodists was toward
Journalism, and he predicted that within
a quarter Of a century the church would
adopt prayerbook similar to that OF
the Episcopal church. DR.. Tiffany de-
precated the idea that his denomination
would ever copy after the Episcopal
form of worship, although he was will
ling to admit that Methodists were drift
ing into Journalism, particularly i'll the
repetition of stated prayers. He thought
that the church might some day use Mr..
Wesley's version of the English prayer
book, and thereby the demon nation be
better itted to retain its members.

Henry Ward Beecher denies that he
intends to retire from the ministry when
he is 20 years old, which he will be on
June "a, 1888. He said to-day that his
father, Lyman Beecher, continued to
preach until he was 50, and he would
like to do the same. His health was
never better than it is now. He had said
that he didn't care to live beyond 80,but
he might change his mind as he neared
that point.

~" Double DEATH BY LIGHTNING.-
On Saturday last terrible accident oc-
Cured near Whites Gap, iii the lower
edge Of Rockbridge county, Va. Two
men were instantly killed ny lightning.
They were VIM. Wrekes and his son, both
intelligent, hard working men and good
citizens. Mr.. Weekcs and his two sous
had been blowing in Il field, wien the APP
prOach of Il storm warned them TO seek
shelter. The father and his oldest sob
went into m old stable in the field, ana
the Younger son started some little dis
lance TO bring a saddle ont of the rain.
When he returned 10 the stable he noticed
the horse standing with his head under
sill in the building, and struggling to eX-
triCate himself. He ran TO the rescue, and
finding tina. he would need assistance,
called TO his father and brother. Not re-
ceiving an answer he went up to where
they were and found them both dead. The
father was in a sitting posture, with eyes
closed, and his left hand holding his hand
kerChief To his forehead Is if in the act of
wiping the perspiratiOn from his brow.
The son was sitting also, with his left
hand thrown across his fathers right knee
and eyes wide open. When first APP
preached neither bore the faimtcst Symp-
tom of death. The lightning must have
struck just between them. The boot on
Mr.. Wcckes' left foot was ripped from
the top to the sole, but there was no other
mark of the fatal visitation. The hair on
the sons head was slightly burned, and
there was small bruiSe on his left hip.
Beyond this, no sign of Deaths mcssen-
ger. The house was not damaged, and
the horse which was in the stable at the
time was not killed. One of his eye halls
was bursted, and his system seemed to be
severely shocked.

~" REpUCTIoN OF TAXEs.-The House
of Representatives, last week, passed
bill making several important amendments
10 the Internal Revenue law. Col. Will
son, of West Virginia, made an earnest
effort 10 amend the bill so as to allow the
producer Of leaf tobacco to sell not less
than 800 pounds of his yearly product in
open market, without paving any special
tax thereon, but his amendment was lost
by vote of 81 to 90. The bill repeats the
stamp tax on bank checks, drafts, orders
and vouchers; tax on the capital and de-
posts of blnks anl bankers, ana on
matches. per!Wnery anl patent medicines.
The tax on cigars is reduced to 81 per
thousand.
Section Ofthc h,l is rs follows: "rrom
and after the LIST of May, 1888, dealers in
leaf tobacco shall pay Sl2, dealers in man
