Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
GALVESTON, February 1.-THE subject OF
a water supply for this city is again being dis
cussed and brought before the people in such
way that there is no doubt that the result
will be an adequate supply of both salt water
for the extinguishment of fires, and fresh
water for all purposes. The plans and the
cost for the same have been infinitely consid-
cred, and an elaborate report made by the en-
gineer in charge. meeting of the commit
tee to act upon it will be in order for this
evening.
The citizens grand mass meeting which
mentioned in my last letter, was such a turbu-
lent affair that the gentlemen present felt
somewhat as if they were attending free
fight, or some other dsagreeable affair.
A correct estimate of the noisy proceedings
can be made by taking into consideration the
fact that a law has since been made tina no
public meeting shall be held in the court
house. In consideration of this beautiful style
of manhood it will be readily conceded that
more select and secret meetings should be re-
| sorted to, and these, rumor says, have been
The plan seems to be to have each ward can

WILLING TO RUN FOR ALDERMAN.
An other meeting is on the tapis for Saturday
night
The location of the new custom house has
not been definitely settled as yet, but Calves
tonians may indulge in bit of satisfaction
that another elegant structure will adorn the r
fair city.
A new society, with rather sanctimo-
niously sounding name, has risen, Phoenix
like, in our midst, and is known by the appel
lation OF Holy Name Society. 1t had its
birth in St. Mary's cathedral last Sunday
evening, and its mission is to teach and help
men to remember the name of the Lord, and
mention it sacredly instead of in blasphemy.
One of the coming society events is to be the
entertainment given by the Young Ladies'
society of the First Presbyterian church next
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, when, in
costume, the young ladies, 80 in number, will
be put through what is termed "The Milk
maids Drill" The Artillery hall, with Lin
denbergs band, is to be used. The proceeds
will be for church purposes. 1t can scarcely
be surmised that this beautiful dancing hall
and the exquisite music of this excellent band
can fail to suggest the light fantastic to the
pretty milkmaids or their friends, and they are
expected to serve the Terpsichorean god as a
closing part of the evenings entertainment. A

PoLrTIcAL NOTES.-The organ of
the Hartford republicans, The Bel Air
Times, says Now that our Demo-
cratic brethren have met and parted,
it is only fair that that the Republic
can editors should have their say.
This is ours: Let Republicans here
after be spoken of as Republicans, not
as "half-breeds" nor ''stalwarts;'' let
Us devote our energies to exposing the
nisdeeds, the intrigues and the bad
purposes Of the Bourbon ring; offer
thu people better men to vote for and
better principles to vote by; and go
In to win.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee meets in Baltimore to-day
"wednesday and will fix a date for
the State convention to nominate can
didates for Governor, Comptroller and
Acknowledgement. The city of Bal
timore and the counties, through local
political organization. will arrange
details for primaries. &c. September
II is talked of for the meeting of the
State convention.
The Democratic party of Hartford
county appears to be satisfied with
their primary election system, which
has been in operation there for twelve
years, and at convention held last
week resolved to stick to it. They
hold to the Crawford county system"
in Hartford.
The name of Hon. Jacob Tome, of
Port Deposit, is mentioned as the com
ing Republican candidate for Cover
nor of Maryland.
The Elkton Wing had over a COL
umn article on the Democratic editors
council last week. 1t was intended
to be funny but it was only silly.
Col. Dirty says he has been turned
out of Office solely because of his un-
willingness to endorse corruption and
fraud.

form to-day and the platform Of the
democratic party Of st. Mays. But

charge against the BEACON that it has
abandoned its principles /? Have our
brothers ever heard Of the VIII COM
mandment? But to return. The po-
sitio3 taken last Fall was taken adj
visedly. Why it was taken is an open
secret among democrats, which We
may possibly ventilate before themeet
ing Of the next democratic primaries.
1t meant and means democratic organ
ization In matters Of State and Ma
tional concern and nou-organization
and independence in all others. We
hope the latter feature of our program
viii secure the distinguished apprO-
val Of our brothers Of the Enterprise,
from whom We now part in no feelings
Of personal unkindness, hoping and
believing that We have said nothing

A GENTLE REPRooF.-In the begin
ming, a. the BEACON has nearly as
many republican as democratic pa
irons, we shall have to ask these
friends 10 bear in mind, as they go
along with us in this discussion. that
neither of our brothers of the Enter
prise isquite yet the Republican party
Of st. Mary's, though both hold re-
sponsibls and lucrative Offices by its
favor. We, therefore, desire them to
make q distinction between the two
gentlemen in question aud the party
to which they belong, and not to imag-
inc that we are assailing the latter
because we have resented an insult
ing and unprovOked attack on our
democratic fellow-citizens. Consider
ing the terms employed, we think We
are justified in describing this attack
as improper in anyone and doubly so
in Clerk Of the peoples Tax Court
. nd in an Examiner Of the peoples
schools. No two positions, we think,
can well be imagined where noisy
partisan zeal is more OutOf place, un-
less it be in the position of a judge
and a juryman.
We beg to assure our brothers that
the example Of their inconsistency
was not introduced by us to justify
the supposed and yet improved in
consistency of the democratic party,
but to show, whether it had been in
consistent or not, it did not become
them to be casting reprOaches on this
subject. Judgment On this point.
As to the GrgssmestsGm Gd honine'a,
which is as old as human controversy.
it WAS taught us at Mt. st. Mary's,
and we think from the specimens
our brothers have furnished in their
late article, it might also be Guilt
waited here with advantage. But
is it not both strange and inconsis-
tent that our brothers, who so strong
ly protest against this feature of ar
gumentation, SHOULD adopt it them
selves? The bulk Of their article is
made up Of it. but we are far from
complaining of its application. On
the contrary, We regard it as both le-
gitimate and proper, when the facts are
at hand 10 sustain il, of which here
after. And now, as to the political
careeg Of our brothers, which is in
PRODUCED under the protection of a
quotation, which we think we have
heard Of before and which impresses
as IS being more remarkable for rude
ness and conceit than for good taste
and politeness. 0fcourse, the ''fools'
who don't change are the editors Of
the BEACON and the wise men who
do are the editors Of the Eateprise
We had hoped for better and potter
things from our brothers. II seems,
however,

The statistics Of the United States
prove that hay is among the foremost
crops raised in this country, if not
the very first. At the present time
there are estimated to be, in the
United States, 100000 sheep, 40
100000 cattle, and 100000 900 horses.
In twO-thirds of the county these ami
mails require to be fed from three to
five months, and they will consume an
aggregate of 9O,O0O,0OO tons, which,
at S. per ton, represents the enor-
nous sum of $450,0O0.0O0. Is not
hay, therefore, king?

A SouwD sEErIMzNT.-Though we
may not much admire Gen. Grant, we
are quite capable Of doing him justice
and commanding his opinions and ex-
pressions when we thick they deserve
It. His views in regard to the con-
duct Of foreigners who make this
country their home is case in point,
and we agree with the General that
they should behave more modestly aud
less boisterOusly than they are in the
habit of doing. This, however, Is as
much q matter Of taste as anything
else. Il is not, however. mere mat
ter of taste, but q subject for grave
consideration, whether we should al
low these foreigners to create unfriend-
" relations between ourselves and
foreign nations with whose govern
ments we are at peace, and above all,
whether we should allow them to
embroil as in transatlantic difficult
ties. It may be their privilege to up
hold in words assassination by dagger
and dynamite. if they are wicked
enough to do it. but cOnspiring AMI
organizing On our shores to make hosti q
and war-like attacks upon foreign and
friendly governments ought not to be
allowed to continue a moment longer
Il il Just here that the United States
Government should put its foot down
To this extent and no more we are

The action of the Baltimore County
Temperance Alliance, in requesting
the different parties to put upon their
tickets "for or against local option,
to be voted at the coming. election,
meets with much appreciation. GEN
orally, the politicians favor it. 1t is
an excellent method of testing public
sentiment on the subject and would
relieve political parties from embar-
rassment.

duced in the Uncompahgre and Gunnison val
leys. These great mining belts are easily
reached by the railways and wagon roads.
We can safely say that here in these incom-
parable valleys we can compete successfully
with far-away producers, having in our favor
a shorter distance for transportation and the
ability TO place perishable articles in fresher
state upon the market.
Delta chief., 1883-04-04
WHAT WILL GROW HERE?

To this question there is but one answer to
make: Almost anything in the agricultural
line and in the way of fruits, possibility
that all kinds can be successfully grown.
The first assertion has been practically
demonstrated. ON one ranch was raised
corn, alfalfa, potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots,
parsnips, cabbage, onions. tomatoes, beans,
squash, peas, cucumbers, lettuce, musk and
wa,ermelons, and radishes. The domestic
grasses all grow by irrigation-timothy, blue
top, clover, Hungarian, millet, etc. Potatoes
weighing SIX and half pounds were raised
ON the North Fork, and green corn and mel
ons were furnished TO the Gunnison market.
Last year odessa wheat yielded over 80 bush
els to the acre, oats from 80 To 20 bushels, aud
potatoes from 200 to 400 bushels. Ii can be
safely asserted that all the cereals and yegc
tables suited TO temperate zone may be
raised. II may be that here, in the valleys
on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains,
that the intense winter warmth followed by
sudden extremes OF cold, may be fatal to fruit
culture; but soil and climate matching that
soil aud climate where the peach and apricot
flourish to perfection are thought TO be here.
Young apple trees set out last spring grew
from fifteen to thirty-siS inches during the
season.

STOCK.

The plateaus, or grand mesas, as they are
commonly called drained by the tributries
Of the Gunnison and uneompahgre rivers, is
a fine cattle country. There are great meSas
sloping down from the foot Of the ranges,
containing hundreds of thousands of acres OF
fine, rich, alluyial soil, which in summer, as
far AS the eye can reach, is one great waving
sea of grass resembling blue,joint, but in
reality gramma grass. Here are vast ranges
yet TO be occupied, and to become the stock
growing paradise. In winter stock can be
run in the valley country below these high
mesas, where bunch-grass abounds and but
little snow is met with, save in exceptional
winters Last year profit of 30 to 100 per
cent was made on stock. Milch cows are
from $50 to $50; sock cows, $50; work oxen,
500 to SIPS per yoke; beef, to 10 cents per
pound; sheep, $3.50 10 So; horses, S75 to
