The Waco Examiner In an article on
the subject OF the business policy of
the state, says: "San Antonio is in
earnest In building the Arkansas Pass
railroad. Here is q, vast change inn
pending. Waco has made other ar
rangements and combinations, and
they are against Galveston. Dallas
has done the same. Fort Worth also,
and so, too, OF other important and
leading points Of trade. Galveston has
steadily lost, while all other points
have gained trade. Business has re-
arranged itself upon other lines and
has flowed into other channels. All
in the world which has held Calves
ton up heretofore has been the
lack Of all.rail connection
with deep water. That she has now,
and so the outgo OF our products is
provided for, The incoming supplies
reach us from Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago, and these pay not cent
to Galveston. No wonder the News ia
pulling up stakes. No wonder that
the merchants of Galveston are sitting
on their launches preparatory to a
fitting. Now, we do not say that all
this is the best. 1t is simply the logi-
cal result of fixed laws of trade, one of
which is that people will not pay
onerous exactions to keep up the pre-
tensions of any place whatever, and
there is lesson In Galveston's hard
fate which may be valuable to other
points which believe they have a royal
road to commercial wealth"

der the British man-of.w war might
cause more trouble than the punish

whole British navy is on the alert and
even in American waters are getting
very handy with their muskets. Now
this may do very well until somebody
stops an English bullet with his liver
pad. Just what will happen then
cannot be foretold. An American in
his dug-out has as much right to cruise
around in American waters as has a
foreign man-of-war, and if he
does not care to respond to
the questions put to him or
answer the officers when hailed, there
is no law to compel him to do it. The
marines, OF course, can bring their mus
kets into play and shoot the delin-
quent, but that will not end the matter
