CARDS 10 raid transmission than the
mail servi,e. Telegraph communica-
lions fed in Galveston at
eight sclock in the evening
should surely reach this city before
midnirh or sometimes as late as two
o'clock ue following morning. Com
p,nnicatons filed in Austin at five
o'clock IA the afternoon should also
reach tbs Office before midnight, but
they rsely do. Another serious and
inexc,nble imeflicieney of the tele-
graph service is the total changes in
The welding and sense Of communities
tons their transmission. These are
mercl suggestions on the part of the
GAZETTE to the local management OF
the system in this state.
1t appears to US that the
defcts could be easily remedied II
an attempt was made. We do not
kpw where the trouble lies, nor Is II
on province TO locate it or attempt 1t.
Tere are certainly few states in which
tire is larger business for the com.
pny than in Texas. All the papers OF

Now that RERDELL has turned
states evidence against the star route
thieves, there seems no possible ave
nue. OF escape for them. The evidence
already produced in court was sufli-
GENTLY damaging to secure the con-
viction before an impartial judge and
an honest and unbiased jury. The
evidence OF RERDRLL will unques-
tionably convict DORSEY, whose Sec
rotary he was in the preparation OF
these gigantic swindles against the
government. The evidence may
not be sufficient to convict
all the prominent parties to
to this scheme, and II might be wei
to put DORSEY aud BRADY on tn
hook, and angle for larger fish thai
they, that doubtless disported them
selves in the turbid waters of tie
stream. The government is more IL
tcrested, aud would be better seryd
in exposing all the parties high ard
low, who participated in the fraui,
than it would in placing felon's suits
on DORSEY and BRADY.

MARSHALL JEWELL, who died on
Saturday last, was not one of the
strong intellects Of the nation nor even
OF Connecticut, but he was an active,
practical ambitious and attractive
man, and filled high public positions
with more popular credit than do
many ADLER men. He has been gov
ernor, minister to Russia, postmaster
general, and was twice IA prominent
candidate for senator. His last active
political work was as chairman of the
republican national committee of 1880,
but DoRsEY, the secretary, did most OF
the work.

Tun ABSORPTION of the Mutual TN
ion Telegraph Company by the
Western Union is but another
evidence of the fact that cor
porations, like individuals, will pool
their issues when it is to their in
terest so to do. The Western Union
has during It's existence absorbed many
rival lines, and this last consolidation
makes II master of the entire telegraph
system OF the country, White the
Mutual Union was established for the
avowed purpose of rivaling and de
stroying the monopoly Of the Western
Union, the result indicates that 1t

JUST rs the southern states are be-
ginning to enjoy the advantages their
almost unlimited resources entitle
them to, and attracting capital from all
parts of the world, enrichlng the citi-
zens and developing the resources, it is
TO be regretted that some OF the states
are displaying disposition to legis'
late AGAINST the interests o, the very
capitalists they so long sought to at
tract. Men who have spent life time
and grown rich in II certain business
certainly know best how TO conduct
and what is to the Interest OF tina
business. and any interference by
states with private enterprises within
their borders, that instead OF Cypress
ing, elevate and Improve the countr.
and the people, is impditic and un
wise. The south has not yet such
hold upon, nor is she 81 rich hersel
that she can afford by arbitrary actio
! to turn into other channels capital tina
. might come here.

Some three or four Opponents OF mar

the hoary-headed winter with the coy

The Springfield Republican which

thinks the manufacturers are commit
ting IA grievous error in resisting re-
duction of the tariff. II argues that
tariff reduction Is inevitable, and that
il is wiser to assist the present congress,
which contains many friends of pro-
lection, in the formation of reasona-
bic bill, than TO oppose the reduction
and thereby commit the matter to the
hands of the next congress,
which will be composed large
ly of men who are known
TO favor much larger reduction
The Republican is clearly in the right

REPRESENTATIVE BETTzdoovER Is
Irving to reform the signal service aud
introduced n bill to that effect. He
made a long speech and vigorously
attacked GENERAL HAzEN few days
ago and made the service appear in "A
very much distorted condition. His
efforts will doubtless have the effect TO
cause some reconstruction in that de-
partment of the government, but the
bill which proposes this reform Is so
intricate and full OF technicalities, that
it would scarcely receive the consider
alton of the house at present. If II ever
does. HAzEN replied To the charges
made in the bill and refuted some
OF them very ably, but he will never
be able to cast aside all the pdium
brought on himself and the service by
the charges in the bill and the attacks
of the newspapers throughout the
