THE meeting of business men yesterday, at
the court room, to take steps towards securing
a San Antonio railroad to the gulf was COM
posed Of good material and the LIGHT is
pleased to see that they thoroughly appre-
ciated the importance of the road, and the
undertaking, and we predict that it will be but
question ola short time until this city will
have coast connection that will give her the
key to the trade OF the Southwest. Alter
thorough discussion of the proposed enter
prise, the following committee was appointed
to cooperate with the committee Of the citizens
meeting held at the Merchants Exchange last
week, for the purpose Of soliciting subscrip-
tons to the San Antonio and Gulf Coast Rail-
road, viz. T. C. Frost, chairman; A. B.
Frank, T. II. Zanderson, Ed. KotulIa, Hans
L. Degener, Sam Maverick, Henry Gillum,
Meyer Half and Frank P. Hord 1t is not
necessary to say that the committee collec-
lively and individually is good one, and that
the interests Of the new enterprise will be
thoroughly advanced at their hands. They
will report next Monday, to which time the
meeting adjourned.

The Washington Republican says; "The
Democratic papers in Iowa are criticising the
recent great speech Of Senator Allison, in
opening the campaign in that State, by saying
that at is too much given up to pointing
proudly to the record Of the party" Their
cause Of complaint is natural. The Republic
can party has reason to be proud Of its record,
and can point with unfeigned pride to every
page Of its history. Let the Democratic party
Offset this sentiment by enumerating its deeds
for the past quarter Of century"

says: at appears that Austin is DESTROYS Of

THE Nashville American most plainly gives
truth in the following "The South never
fully realized the value of diversified indus
tries and home manufactures until the war,
and its blockade forced her to rely upon her
own industries and necessity became the
mother Of invention. The practical lesson
taught was of immeasurable benefit to the
whole section. We had not only learned the
benefit Of manufactures, but disorganized
labor system made compulsory the resort to
diversified industries. Our iron and coal are
no longer permitted to lie dormant in the hills.
Smokestacks are beginning to rear their tow
ering crests all over the section where there
are minerals and valuable timber, and the
hum OF new industry is heard in many
towns and villages, and new towns and viii
lagos are springing into existence.

THE Washington Critic says: "The sub
sidence Of part of the Island Of Java, COM
Prising some 50 square miles Of land, with a
population estimated at not less than I5o, 900
persons, makes the old tradition of Atlantis
seem less improbable than it has usually been
considered. There have been various in
stances Of the sinking Of small uninhabited
islands below the surface of the sea within
comparatively recent times, but the sinking Of
a large district on the coast Of an important
and Populous country like Java Is mere seri-
Gus matter and is sufficiently suggestive of the
possible submerging of an empire to make
one regard the story OF Atlantis with in
creased respect"

A writer in the Grand Forks Herald
moralizes as follows:
The amount OF blasphemy indulged in
upon our streets in connection with the
present droutll, is painful in the extreme.
The expressions heard on every hand
CRATE very harshly on the ears Of those
who believe in Divine Providence. The
croakers are very unthoughtful and un.
reasonable. The fact is this new and
rich valley has been 80 signally blessed
with from five to ten ycarsa of unprece.
dented prosperity, that its inhabitants
have forgotten what reverse. ia. We
have known nothing but increase and
prosperity. We have rushed madly:on
in our career of making and squander.
ing money, until we had we'll nigh for.
gotten the source of the lavish gifts We
have enjoyed. In the midst of our ex.
travagance and wickedness, reminder
from the Almighty may prove whole.
some to us as dependent creatures.
This lis probably new idea to the
northern boomers, but there are some Of
them who need to be reminded that the
Lord still presides over the destinies Of
this universe. Dokskot, for instance, and
the father Of the commission bill, and q
few others. Still. they can get along
without any crops this year, 80 it appearl
that the just are the real sufferers and
for the sins OF the unjust.

According to the Mandan Pioneer, the
governor has again defined his position
upon the subject of division and admis-
sion:
ut is fact" said Gov. Ordway last
night at the Inter-O Ocean hotel, shat
north Dakota people are not as anxious
as they once were for, division. This Of
course is because they have got the CAPT.
tai themselves. This revolutionary talk
which some towns in south Dakota are
indulging in, is all nonsense. It is en-
tirely opposed to the cause and policy of
the republican party during the war. II
it we're fact territory or part of one
could set up for itself as south Dakota
wants to do. then there is no reason why
two or three counties located in any
state should not do the same. If division
on the rlver were agltated it would be
found, doubtless, that q majority of the
people Of the territory would be opposed
to it. But still, if it came to a division
the democrats might be inclined to com
promise by dividing on the river. There
is no hope of getting them to admit two
states from Dakota. We may think our
selves we'll Off if We speedily get the ter
ritory admitted as whole"
The Revolutionary talk" above re
ferred to was the talk of the Huron con
ventiou. 1t was revolutionary in tA
sense that it proposed to legislate Nehe
miah out Of Office and this to him is ran
treason.
