THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
APPLICATION MADE FOR THE TEXAS PACIFIC
LAND GRANT.


WARRINGTON May 21-The Southern
Pacific Railway Company has recently made
application 10 the secretary for lands orig
inally granted to the Texas Pacific Railroad
Company for the construction of iIs road
These lands are claim ed BY virtue of assign
ment from the Texas Pacific Company, which
has fsiled TO construct the road for which the
grant was made, and the basis of the claim
IL, in this respect, similar 10 that an which
the New Orleans and Pacific Rsilrosd Com
psny was recently awarded portion Of
lands granted originally 10 the Bator
Rouge and V cksburs Company. The facts
in that case were that the last named com.
pany constructed part of its road, and then
assigned its grant to the New Orleans and
Pacific Company, which completed the line
The Attorney General in his opinion rem.
dered last July decided that the New Or.
leans ana Pacific Company was entitled to
lands lying along portion of the road il
had constructed. The principal difference
between the csss decided by the Attorney
General and the case of the Southern Pa.
ciic Company L., that the road for the con
struction of which the grant is CT aimed by the
| Southern Pacific was built prior to date Of
Assignment of grant. The Southern Pacific
Company was organized as a rival OF tbs
Texas Pacific Company, and undertook to
Duiid competing line, ano IL oplecteu lc
granting lands TO the latter company and the
Endorsement of its bonds by the government
Since the failure, however, OF the Texas Pa
cife Company to build its road, it has So
! Aligned its grant 10 the Southern Pacific
Company. A decision will not be reached in
the case for several days, but there is reason
| to believe when il is rendered it will be ad
verse TO the claims of the company La.
| named. The grant of land in dispute az.
gregates bstween 100000 and 100000
scres.

There was time when such cases OF brutal

of indignation throughout the land.
Is the sentiment of humanity 30 dead
among US that to-day, when we claim
that higher and holier sentiments animate
society than in the barbarous past, these hor-

girls are not compelled to work go long and
for SO little, they can leave when they please.
L. this true? 1t is not, and none better know
how false their words are than those who
utter them. These girls do not willingly
submit to be shut out from the free air Of
heaven, from all enjoyment OF life, from the
green trees and the sprirging flowers, from
society, to be kept in mental ignorance and
endure daily bodily imprisonment, for
fifteen snd seventeen hours cut Of

they must They are doing forced labor and
the instruments Of compulsion are hunger

wrong under penalty of starving. Because
they are necessitous they are crushed. The
sentence of these tyrants and ex;ortioners

fearful evils? The men who use the starva-
ton power, who put the victim upon The
rack Of pskedGess aud lash him with the
scourge of hunger, they cause these formi

ever boaated, did go when he said: "The
poor have the gospel preached to them" In

MEMPHIS APPEAL
THE COLD WAVE,

The astonishing invasion Of cold from
which we are suffering within nine days of
June is arousing everybody's attention to the
weather. By this time We have usually a
foretaste of burning June; now we are put
ting on overcoats in Memphis and at Cincin-
natl and west of the Ohio river there lie snow.
The records show that there ia always "a Geld
spell" in May. It usually comes between
the 1lth and 18th. This year 1t is not only
behind the average time, but it is beyond the
average severity, which is remarkable, for
we should naturally expect that the later the
cold comes the less cold it would be. 1t may
be considered as certain that however high
the thermometer may have been, settled, hot
weather will not have set i'll until the annual
May cold has made its vIAiistion; after that
the light summer dress may be put On with
some confidence. Before then changes
Of raiment should be made with eau
ton, and Aanuels reassumed when an in
Vasion Of cold comes on, for cold intervals
after hot weather require more care than is
necessary during continuous cold. After
this nip OF cold, in the streets and houses,
and yards, and adjoining buildings, unusual
care should be taken to have a cleaning out
Of every "hole and corner" Those who de-
sire to be as little annoyed with mosquitoes
az possible should be especially careful to
have no standing pbjdfs or Stops about, for
there those insects breed. The maxim that
"an ounce Of prevention is worth pound Of
cure" is one that should be acted upon now.
This is more particularly true this season
than is usual, for this cold visitation is try
ing 10 the general health, and causes indi-
ge-lion and other evils that predispcse to
sicknes Il is natural to inquire what il
the caus= of such an Intrusion OF cold az We
are now ,tilicld with? Fl the occurrence
OF sudden attacks OF heat and cold at
unexpected intervals, all our science fails
to discover the cause. The idea has
been started that one of those sggre-
cations Of meteorites, which we know
circulate around the sun, may now
be passing between US and that lumin-
airy; but as what would cause diminution
of heat would also lessen the amount of
Light We receive from the SUI, and as We
hsvo no sensible loss of light, while the de-
privAtion of heat is very perceptible, Of
course that explanation is erroneous. Even
il the theory about the meteorites had some
shadow Of probability in it, that theory
would fail to account for the occurrence of
"hot waves" Ths me,eoroogists are very
DESTROYS 10 discover the causes of these phe.
nomsna, which is one resson why there is
such anxiety to get to the North Pole, as it is
believed that a knowledge of the state Of
things there might cast rome light upon the
matter. The sun is at present more closely
observed by astronomers than at any former
time, for the electrical Response OF the earth
to changes in the sums chromospere shows
close connection Of the two, whicD, when
better understood, may prove the key to the
weather problem that is just now exciting
