The Eads Shin Railway,

Brads,reei's; There are many who will be
surprised TO learn that the much-talked-of
ship railway across the Isthmus Of Tehuante-
pee has been begun. That indefatigable
worker, Captain J. b. Eads, it appears, was
not to be discouraged by the failure of the
United States Congress to assist the pro-
ject. Having secured ample grants from the
Mexican Government, he has gone to work,
and on the goth of May broke ground at the
Atlantic terminus OF the "IsthmIs ship rail-
way" about $50 miles southeast along the
Mexican coast from Vera Cruz, on the Bay Of
Campeachy, almost directly south of Calves
ton, and little west of south Of New Orleans.
The New Orleans Times-Democrato of late date
acknowledges the receipt Of two Photographic
views taken at the moment OF "the Inaugural
ton of the ship railway enterprise" The
proposed route OF this great undertaking is
about $50 miles long, and leads in a direction
nearly north and south, or from the Pacific
side north TO the gulf coast As there are two
rivers flowing along the line, Mr.. Eads will
utilize them for some fifty miles, so that the
actual length Of the proposed railway will not
be more than leo miles. On the Pacific side
the water is sufficiently deep to admit of the
approach Of vessels of any draught, while
on the gulf coast a fine port may
be easily constructed with but little
expense to the company" If Captain Eads
has really gone to work to build the railway
without expecting possible future subventons
from the United States Government, he is to
be congratulated on his recovery from the
view he formerly took of the project. If
cannot be made a success as private bust
ness enterprise, there are still many citizens
who will not object to its lying down and
drawing its last breath. AS a commercial
venture let it stand on its own legs, and sue
cess to it. But 1t is nearly time that engineers
Of gigantic operations ceased to act on the
basis that every project Of that sort must enjoy
the questionable favoritism once shown some
Of our pioneer Western railroads.

The Cattle Craze.

The FL Paso Times, speaking of the cattle
craze, says:
"Men who know little or nothing about
breeding and herdng invest money in cattle
ranches as eagerly as their exemplars made
mining investments in the palny days Of Lit
tie Emma and the Comstock lode. Within
three years millions Of European money have
been invested in so-called cattle ranches. In
some cases companies have been formed I'M
der the manipulation Of spectators who knew
as little about the ranges and cattle as the real
investors. The cautious ones who visit the
ranges before making investments have some
times been taken in by processes akin to the
Sailing" Of mines. Riding over the plains
when the grass is fresh, and beholdng the
lowing herds, the vaqueros tell them mar
velous stories, borne out by books, wherein
the tally Of increase is shown. But there is no
record Of the losses attending both winter
billiards and summer waves Of heat. The
ranchmen are too eager to unload to detail
their losses"

The great value Of a couple Of days, in a
political sense, is very positively illustrated in
the controversy as to who really defeated
Hancock in 1880. The Hartford Courant as
serted that Mr.. Dana, Of the New York Sun,
desired the defeat Of General Hancock, and
through the columns Of his paper derided
Hancock "during the last two weeks Of the
campaign" To which Mr. Dana replied by
offering $scoo to the editor Of the Courant II,
after a thorough search, he found in the files
of the Sun, for the period specified, any edi-
torial, line or word justilying the charge that
the Sun aided to secure Hancoek's defeat by
derding him. In this offer Mr.. Dana was
quite safe, but on the 18th day OF October,
1880, according to the Truth, just 10 days be-
fore the election, the Sun published a leading
editorial declaring that "the Democrats are
beaten, badly beaten;" sit has seemed to us
that the whole Democratic campaign was a
series Of blunders;" "ihe party had one man
only one--whose immense strength had been
demonstrated on a national lleld-Samuel J
Tilden;" "the party nominated General Han
cock, good man, weighing $50 pounds-but
Hancock is not Tilden."

WHAT this portion Of Texas needs more
than any other one thing is race of weather
prophets that would furnish a little more
moisture. The last coed rains we had oppor-
timely came along and drowned out the
Fourth OF July orators, but since then it has
been about as dry as the aforesaid orations
would have been, and the probabilities do not
indicate any change for the present, at least,
and stock and ranch men are becoming quite
anxious regarding their water supply.
