To draw from the opulent variety of

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
San Diego, April 3.-There has been
really very little of interest occurring
here lately. Business has been rather
at a stand, though it is beginning to |
liven up, as the shearing has COM
menced in earnest. The dry weather.
however has retarded the wool crop
or wool gathering, and good many OF
our sheepmen are anxiously waltin
for rain that will put water in thei r
tanks and water-holes before they
shear their flocks. The month of
March has passed, giving us great
many indications of falling weather,
but not really any rain worth men
| tioning. The sky still looks promis.
ing, but when the clouds are heavy
and our hopes buoyant, a north er
springs up and scatters all. ALAS for
the fallacy of human expectations"
Our college stockholders and advo-
Gates had a meeting on the Both tit,
and passed resolutions and did some
other business. Your correspondent
unfortunately was not present on ac-
count of misapprehension about the
time OF the meeting, and consequently
cannot give anything but very mea
ger account of what was done, but it
seems that our citizens are in earnest,
aud that though the funds come in
slowly just now, They are determined
to push the enterprise to its successful
termination in the near future
We have from the last scholas-
tic census report nearly one thousand
children within the ages required for
the public free schools in this coun-

that the new law adding two years
from Ia 10 is WAS not known until
after the taking of "a part of the scho.

The Washington correspondent of |
the GAZETTE has been talking with |
the roaring red-headed congressman
from Colorado, and OF course Fort
Worth was the theme. Speaking Of
the prospects Of the Santa Fe right Of
way through the indian territory, the
loquacious Bedford stepped aside TO
say: VI will take the opportunity here
to say that we In Colorado are not SO
| anxious about that road. We want to
see the Fort Worth & Denver built.
The enterprise and growth Of Fort
North are extensively known, and
our people are more than anxious to
communicate with her direct. The
town is destined TO be the commercial
center OF that magnificent territory,
and many years will not elapse before
she will reach the size of Denver.

tits a Political Question.

An interior paper advances the idea
that free grass ought not to be made q
political question. There is mania
Just now for taking political matters
ont OF politics. If there are people in
favor OF free grass and people against
it, and the law must permit or forbid
free pasturage on public lands, what
sort of question is that but politi-
cal question? The distance of the sun
is an astronomical question. Astrono-
mers can refuse to discuss 1t, Politi-
clans can likewise refuse TO declare
themselves upon question like free
grass, on which existing laws have a
bearing, which laws are to he main
tanned or changed, but politicians can
no more. annihilate political
facts than astronomers can

What is the public use of political or.

thought to oppose the present admin

A skillful general in the field does
not despise the enemy, but watchos
their maneuvers and makes his own
movements in accordance Herewith.
His object is to head Off his adversary
by checkmatng and foillng the latter's
efforts and plans. We want to use the
same tactics in dealing with Dallas.
The people Of that town are sho wing
an unusual degree of enterprise in
their efforts to control the trade of this
section by securing the railroads that
will give them that trade. They are
working with method and fair prom
ise ofsuccess. Now the duty of Fort
Worth is to destroy the effect of her
maneuvers by advancing at once and
occupying the field that she seeks to
gain. Dallas Is working for herself and
for self-pre ervation, and Fort Worth
must work for the same end. There is
energy in the Dallas people, however
much we may twit them with "sleep-
iness,n and there is money in Dallas,
and business sagacity to employ 1t to
advantage, and the spirit to make the
= most of that advantage. Fort Wortl
, does not deplore the existence of {
