ANOTHER NEW ROAD.

ANOTHER NEW Road.
The TOLEDO, ANN ARBoR AND
NORTHERN MICHIGAN STANDING
WIrH HAT IN HAND.
]. NJ. Ashley, Jr., who was In the
city yesterday lurking behind a full
grown beard, is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the Toledo, Ann Arbor
and Northern Michigan road. He
has established headquarters at Owes
so, and has 900 men at work on the
pieces of road between that place
and ST. Louis distance Of 40 miles.
The grading is practically completed,
and by next week the work of track
laying with 60 pound steel rails will
begin. The equipment to be put on
the line will be first class in every par
ticular. In tie spring the gap be-
tween Owosso and South Lyon will
be filled, and then the extension to
Frankfort, on Lake Michigan, will be
undertaken. Concerning the coun-
try and the business it will provide,
Mr. Ashley is full of praise and
promise. The timber traffic the road
will do will be almost marvellous.
The road will traverse the hog back
OF the State, where the streams are
small and the pine untouched. The
towns along the line are live, wide
awake places, and their appreciation
for the road is shown by presenting
the right of way and granting $1,000
per mile. Of the forty miles that
will be built next month, twenty-nine
are through solid forests. These
furnish most excellent hunting and
fishing, and Mr.. Ashley tells Of
going short distance from camp
and filling his bag with lucious
paruidges. When extended to Frank
fort the road will be aa5 miles long,
and Toledo, the southeastern ter
minus, will remain as now, the head
quarters. The road and the charac-
ter Of the business and territory is
much the same as the Flint and Pere
Marquette, ana the make of the road
will be as good. Although now
known as the Toledo, Ann Arbor
and Northeastern Michigan, it will be
consolidated with the Grand Trunk
eventually and receive any benefit
such an alliance may bring. The
money 10 push the construction and
pay FOR supplies is in hand, and cash
is paid on delivery for all materials.
Mr.. Ashley and Gov. Ashley returned
this morning to Owosso.
Governor Ashley is spending his
time principally in the East, arrang-
money matters in the interest of the
new road. Six years ago, he under
took the construction of the Toledo
and Ann Arbor road, and to-day he
has one of the finest plants in the
northwest.-Commercial Telegram.

EENCE NLETlLNGt

The GAZETTE published yesterday
morning the proceedings OF n meeting
at Henrietta on the all-absorbing sub
iect of wire fence cutting. Some
things were said ut that meeting which
may have II local truth and applica-
ton, but it did not apply generally or
touch the underlying cause OF the ex-
element. In all times of public dis
order the excitement spreads as conta-
gion, but it is not the path of wisdom
in public discussion to apply local
causes to general effects. The resolu-
tons adopted Mt Henrietta get nearer
the truth than did some of the
speeches. We copy the resolutions;
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that we believe that it is
nothing but proper and right that men
should have the right To fence their
own lands, but no more.
Resolved, further, That we believe
that If pasture men will fence no more
land than IL owned, or in some way
controlled by them, there will be a
cessation Of the trouble now ON US, viz:
wire cutting.
Resolved, further, that public roads
ahould be unrestricted; provided, still
further, that while stockmen NAV
have done wrong in fencing lands not
owned by them, we do not approve OF
wire cutting nor in any way the de
structlon OF private property.
The GAZETTE gees 10 reason TO
change the opinion expressed
some weeks ago, in discussing
this matter; the cause lies
in the law which allows such latitude
to fence builders, and which provides
such inadequate punishm ent for fence
destroyers. The law should remedy
the inequality it has established. Nc
man should be allowed to fence land
which does not belong TO him, and the
man who cuts fence should be sent
TO the peniteutiary. The fault, pri.
marily, is in the law; then the pasture
men We're too Indifferent to the rights
and privileges of others, and finall,
lawless methodswe adopted by thos,
whose rights We're thus ignored. Lee
the law right itself, and the troubl,
will end.

ADJU1ANT GENERAL KINGS
LETTER.


No more thorough or more philo-
Bophieal exposition of the anteceLent
causes of the wire fence troubles has
ever been given TO the public than
That contained in the able paper of Adj
jutant-General KING, published in the
GAZETTE yesterday. His discussion is
from the standpointofa lawyer, an of.
ticer and Democrat. The legal aspect
of the situation, the SCOPE and limita-
ton of official remedy, and the econom-
zeal effect on business in the state are
considered and determined with prac-
teal thoughtfulness.
1t is not enough to investigate the
causes ,Chy fence-cutting and sheep
killing have become epidemic; the
real point OF consequence to the people
OF Texas is to put a stop to it. Small
stockmen and farmers may have a
grievance in being excluded from
water and range by the fencing Of
great bodies Of land, often with
out legal warrant, by cor
porations aud wealthy stockmen
and they will have the strong moral
support of public sentiment to sustain
them in any legitimate method of OBJ
tanning redress; but all must alike rep
rebate and condemn the destruction of
private property by mobs, under shade
of night and without legal right. One
wrong was never yet righted by the
commission OF "A greater wrong.
A healthy public feeling.must make
fence-cutting odious before it can be
restrained, Men will not do things
that are both dangerous and unpopu-
lar. Until fence-cutters and sheep.
killers feel the adverse weight of pub.
lie opinion, they are safe in their vo-
cations, and county officials are not
going to forfeit their own future pros
poets by official acts that are not pop.
ular with the people to whom they
look for votes. They will not arrest
criminals whose acts the public winSs
at, and if they did makearrests, juries
could not lie found who would con
Wet.
Our news columns yesterday bore
witness Of the first fruit7 Of this riot of
lawlessness. Here is the evidence:
A gentleman arrived in Waco re-
Gently with Ave hundred thousand
dollars to invest IN Texas lands, but
becoming intimidated at the fence-
cutting troubles prevalent in other
sections he left ina big disgust, taking,
of course, every dollar his ample cap
ital with him.
This case is representative of an
unknown number of similar ones. IL
is not beyond the bounds OF reasonable
statement to say that millions Of dol
lars have been lost To Texas through
the reports of the reign OF lawlessness
that fence-cutters have inaugurated.
A longer continuance will increase the
loss to the state. Check it now before
IL becomes irreparable.

RESPECTING the visit Of Governor
MADERo and other distinguished
MeXicans to Laredo the Times OF that

ing among Ills will be an event of great
importance, socially, commercially and
politically, and nothing should be left
undone to make their visit such an
one as will make their friendly feel
ing lnora-hinding and lasting. This
friendly welcome does not sus-

that careful degree OF attention by the
government that their prominence in
the household entities them to, and the
census reports are bare of facts relating
to them, so that it is impossible to pro-
cure reliable data for the instruction
of the public upon this interesting
topic. 1t is believed, however, that
there is an average OF three cats to
every household in Texas. There
were, in 1880, 2s7, 569 households in the
state, and this, by a simple mathemat-
ical calculation, ON the basis assumed,
allows us wealth of 782, 6S6 cats. They
are divided into two classes, tile
tom-cat and pussy-cst.
The cat is gregarious animal, and
is much addicted to holding political
conventions, where the parliamentary
models of Greenback politi-
cal bodies 'prevail in
their deliberations and discussions.
Their native modesty--the cats, of
course, not the Greenbackers'
them to prefer the silence of night and
the seclusions of back yards for their
meetings. 1t is believed, from the
earnestness of their demonstrations
that the majority ofattendantsa at these
meetings are aldermen in the cat
municipality. Their conduct is often
quite adermanic, and the remarks
they address TO each other sound very
much like aldermanic language.
in the absence of reliable statistics
upon which to proceed to generaliza-
ton, we hazard the guess
that the L62.6S6 cats in Texas at
tract nightly more than 100000 old
BOOTS, blacking-brushes, boot-blacks
and other convenient missiles.
The preliminary statement in this
article that the utilization of cats was
confined to but two parties is incor-
rect. Upon reflection we recollect that
the energetic small-boy frequently
finds n field for the use of cats. He
selects TWO, usually OF the tom class,
and attaches them securely to each
other by the terminal appendices that
they have thoughtfully provided for
that purpose, then suspends them from
pole beneath the bedroom window
OF some nervous old gentleman, whom
their symphonies soon lull to rest-in
/
some other part of the building. Cats
and small boys are much addicted to
this kind Of recreation.
1t is popular delusion that cats
have nine lives, though it is u well es-
tablished scientific truth that some OF
them have nine tails. This class -four
ish most on board ships.

trouble themselves to examine the
